Letters from the People.

Mr.. Editor-By the light of last evenings
"STAR" your readers were enabled TO see that
street railroad transfer ticket case was recent
ly brought by an aggfieved party before Justice
j. X. I. Plant to be adjudicated. We are not a
lawyer, and are alike unacquainted with the
tribune and the parties to the action. But the
decision given in the case seems 50 unjust and
illogical and il it is really so the public become
an interested party.
There is and can be no question that the rail-
road company have the right TO make any ne
cessary rule or regulations for the wor king of
the road and its branches that is reasonable
and does not seriously incommode or trench
how absurd and unjust would be regulations re-
quiring passengers TO walk mp Capitol Hill, TO
wait tive or ten minutes at intersections (rain or
shine), to stand up in the cars and hold on to
soiled straps TO keep from breaking their necks
or to accept seat upon the lap of some beney-
olent passenger or to receive a weary one upon
your own knees, yet these things and worse are
be ing done in "Jericho."
The company is a common carrier, is bound in
equity and law by the fare received from a pas
sepger to carry him In a safe and comfortable
manner from the place he enters the car TO the
terminus of the road or any one OF its branches.
II they have not already been passed, should he
desire to 60 so far.
1t appears to be optional with the company
either to have cars properly designated that
would switch off from the main stem on to the
branches and conversely, and so carry passen-
to issue transfer tickets which are received by
conductors Of cars confined exclusively II the
main stem or the branches. The company have
adopted the latter, and issue transfer tickets
which are acknowledged TO be good for the
whole distance from the intersection to the end
Of the road. By what process of reasoning or
jrstice can it be made TO appear that although
the transfer is good for the whole, IL is not good
for part of the route?
AS there is neither logic or equity in the de-
csion of the Justice referred to we strongly sus-
pect that if the question be ever brou ght before
court and jury, it will be shown that il is not
in accordance with law.
4 Gh ha nr. ,,xr.A
really gain to the company. where the party
rightfully holding a transfer walks a quarter or
ride. "
But ii is evident that the company wants TO
evade the obligation they are under to carry
passengers on transfer tickets, or to SO hedge
them about with conditions and Inconvenience
as to COMPEL those entitled to them and their
benefits to pay an additional fare. Will the cit
liens submit ID it? The Avenue is wide enough
for new line that will be more liberal.

THE EDwINS CASE.
NEW DEVELOPMENTS.
Bigamy and DefaleatiOn.
Two Names and Two Wives.

We rot lorg since reported the trial, in the
Police Court in this city, of Charles e. Edwins,
. clerk in the Treasurer's Bureau, who ALB
stracted some 81 900 or IS 200. which Treasurer
and the day afterwards we published his confess
sion TO Treasurer Spinner. Since that time
reports have been circulated that his right
wife and daughter in Binghampton, New
York. There seems to be no doubt that these
statements are correct; that his true name Is
ter in Brighampton, N that his wife is
daughter of Orrin Bliss of that place, and that
his (Cadys or Edwin's) daughter is ten years
old. he was employed in the Treasury
Department ever since 1853, and had the
entire confidence of the OFF cials there up
to the time of his confession OF fraud.
IL was admitted by himself that he had fam
lily there, and he represents that the lady whom
he married here in February last was aware of
the fact. He stated to those in his confidence
that he had obtained divorce from his first
wife one year and more ago, when he was absent
on leave OF absence in New York He was mar
ried in the Metropolitan church, in this city, by
Rev. DIR. Newman, last February, to a lady
highly respected in this community. She was q
young widow, the daughter of Farley III. Ea-
ton, ESQ.,, clerk in the Treasury Department.
She refrsed 20 leave for Europe with him.
and this wss the cause, it is stated, of his
coming back TO Washington and confessing
his defslcaton. His friends say that he as,
sumed the name of Edwins by the advice
and request of an uncle of his, after he parted
from his first wife. TIE union, he represents,
had been an exceedingly unhappy one from the
frst, and, a. he was well known as a teacher
in the locality OF Binghampton, and had to
set out afIesh in life, it was deemed
advisable to change his name. The Immediate
cause Of his confession was no doubt the fact
made apparent Yesterday by the receipt of a
government bond OF the value of 81 600 from
the Davenport National Bank, OF Davenport.
Iowa, which was sent to General Spinner as
being overpaid that institution some weeks
since by the department. 1t appears that
Edwin,s FIRST abstraction was Of package OF
5000 b. oDging to this bank. When in the
course Of time the amount had to be made
good, he, by mistake, put in the original
wrapper, which he had retained, 5000 instead
OF 5000, and this new amount was duly re-
corded and the package forwarded to the bank
The mistake was Immediately discovered by
that institution, although nothing was said
about IL at the time, the bank Off GERS taking il
for granted that the Treasury was cognizant OF
the error, and would in due course of time OFF,
cially notify them OF il. The fear that the long
and seemingly unaccountable delay on the part
OF the government to do this would evoke let
ter of inquiry from the bank, which would. of
course, bring With il an investigation and dis
Edwins confession.
