The TRIAL OF TwEED.-The cross-examina-
ton Of Garvey was resumed by the defence at
Tweed's trial in New York yesterday. Witness
did not possess any notes from persons repre-
senting the prosecution. He denied having
once told Mayor Hall that there was anything
planned how the claims were altered by the
ring, citing one for example which, while calling
for $780,, 900 was justly entitled to but S2iO,-
900. OF thirty -seven bills specified, witness said
none were entirely true or entirely false. He
did not look at the warrants to see if they cor
responded with the bills. Had seen Tweed's
name on the face of his bills; also certificates Of
audit.

EAST WASHINGTON, ID. u, Jan. II, 1878.
Editor Ereaiag Star: With a perversity char
acteristic of the w. and G. X. r. Co., the presi-
dent of this New York corporation, Mr.. Riker,
is now endeavOring to defeat the extension OF
the Metropolitan Il. X. Co. eastward from 9Th and
East Capitol streets to 18th street, and thence
along the latter-named street to the Navy Yard
bridge. Mr.. Riker sees in said extension fall
ing OFF in the receipts Of the Avenue road, and
consequently less money for the stockholders to
spend outside of the limits of the District. The
Metropolitan road is and always has been a road
that pays strict attention to the wants of the
travelling public; all its interests are conferred
in the District of Columbia, and none of its stock
held by outside parties. The House Of Repre-
sentatives has already agreed to the proposed
extension, and 1t now rests with the Senate COM
mittee, before whom the matter is pending, to
report the bill and let the road be built at once,
which MI. Thompson, the president of the road /,
proposes to do. The value of the extension can
not be over-estimated. 1t connects UniontOwn
and a progressive eastern section Of the city
directly by rail with the Capitol, the depart
ments, and Georgetown, and will be the means
Of wonderfully improving a hitherto sighted
portion Of the city. We hope the wiles and
Establishments of Ridge Riker will not prevail,
and that the Senate committee will act
promptly in the matter. More street railways,
gentlemen. e.. Nj. b.

The strength of the uprising in the West
against the railroad mODOpolies Is shown by the
fact that railroad bill designed to protect the
public from eXtOrtion passed the State Ser ate
OF Illinois on Thursday by an unanimous vote
The bill provides that if anv railroad shall
charge Nr demand any extortiOnate rate OF COM
pensation for the transportation of any fret yht,
or make any unjust discrimination in it, rates,
the railroad company offending shall, iOr the
first offence, be fined - .0OO for the second of
fence, slo00o for the third offence. seo 900 for
the fourth offence, $4,000, and for each and
every offence thereafter. the sum of siOO COZ. 1t
Also gives 10 the person of whom such unjust
rates are demanded a right OF action for 81 600.
The bill makes it primo faeie evidence Of unjust
discrimination and extOrtiOn in the rates Of
freight, aEi of intent to discriminate and ex-
tort. for any railroad company to demand or
receive any larger amount for freight than is at
the same time charged for the transportation
Ct like quantities of the same class OF property
over greater distance upon the same road; or
- demand OF receive different rates far h@.,:-
Ing or delivering goods at different points on
the same OF connecting roads; or to demand or
receive greater amount for such transporta-
ton than l. charged for like transportation of
the same class Of goods over an equal distance
ON the same road; to demand aud receive
any Other than fair and reasonable rot,
