The Trial Of Boss Tweed.

NEW York, January 23.-In the Tweed
case TO day, GarveY was examined al
length by Peckham for tho prosecution
concerning his transactions with ex'
Comptroller Connolly. Counsel offered
10 show that Garyey's departure from the
city was caused by threats assuming 10
come from Tweed; that after GArVcy's
departure Tweed personally took meas.
ures TO keep him away. The defence
objected, but tho point was allowed.
The witness then said he lett in conse-
quence Of threats; was threatened with
assassination, Laughter.
OF the thirty.seven bills about which
witness was examined Tuesday, twenty.
five per cent on each was just. he
brought suit against the city 0t the in
stance Of Mayor Hall. Woodward had
requested witness TO give Tweed receipt
for the 100000 check. Witness then
called upon Tweed, at whose request he
(witness) signed a blank paper for Tweed.
Witness never received cent OF that
check.
In reply to Fullerton, the witness said
he first made rough draft OF his bill,
then modified the items and reduced the
bill from 500, 900 to 500, 400. II the check
for 100000 endorsed by the witness was
shown him, he would still adhere to his
testimony. He left his check after him
in Tweed's room and never got the
money.
Judge Davis here excluded as irrela.
vent the offer of the defence to show that
the names OF DomnOrmna and eastman
were on the warrants, and consequently o
forgery. The counsel, however, put the
question and received from Garvey an
admission that he did put fictitious names
on the warrants, whereupon the Judge
brought down his gaVel heavily. This
concluded Garvey's examination.
Jno. Garvey, q brother Of Andy, next
testified to taking large package ol
money to Tweed in Albany, from his
brother and Ingersol. Witness in the fall
of n, had conversation with Tweed
about a detective going to Europe The
detective went after some banker. Tweed
said witness should send Andy word not
to meet the detective. Tweed also said II
was better to be away; that Woodward
was the only man he now dreaded. The
Court then took recess.
After recess the witness said that In the
fall OF 1871, in presenting bill for work
on his house, Tweed produced o check
on Andy for 900, 900, saying he had paid
for all that work: witness reached out fol
the check, but Tweed held on 10 1t. wit.
ness received $4,000 from Connolly, and
gave in return checks for $S7, 900; Andy
got $4,000 through Watson for the
work on Connolly'S house; witness also
stated that he had a conversation with
Tweed, in which the latter said he wished
Woodward was dead.
John Keyser was called, but failed tc
Andy Garvcy was recalled, and testl
fed that Of the item Of $t10,4545O in bis
bank account, 100000 was for bonds
sold to Jay Cooke, Adjourned.

More Public Robbery IN Prospect

More Public Robbery IN Prospect
From tho New York POsh)
According to the testimony in the ex-
animation Of the affairs Of the Credit do.
Miller Company, the Pacific railroad
mirb, have been built for about $50 .OOO,.
0O6 but the amount actually expended
wHs about twice that sum, the difference
bsinr the enormous profit which the
s,ocEholders in the Credit Mobilier Com
nSDy put into their pockets. This mon
s,rous breach OF public trust was only
nossible because the work was in one
srnse public work, founded first on o
pilt OIL public lands, and second q payment
Ia money or its equivalent Of certain
ann per mile OF road built The mana.
gers Of the Union road organized them
selyes into company under another
name, contracted with themselves to build
the road at double what the road ought
10 cost, bought the silence and Connivance
of men whose sworn duty and whose duty
as men Of honor and US gentlemen It was
To protect the public interest, and put
thirty millions oil dollars into their poCk-
ets, all absolutely stolen from the govern
ment under false pretenccs. That is the
simple and unqucsIioncd truth about the
Credit MobiIier business when stripped OF
all verbiage and vGrnish.
One of Two things necessarily follows
The exposure oi this enormous villainy
would either shock the country into de-
naudiDg OF its representatives in Con-
gress ordinary honesty, or It would so cx'
cite the Cupidity oil commonplace men
who compose that body that the most
vigorous attempts would at once be made
10 create similar opportunities OF making
gigantic fortunes by public plunder. The
latter is what has actually happened.
Tho Committee on Commerce are
about 10 report 10 the House Of Repre-
sentatives at Washington certain bills for
what they are pleased TO call the improve
ment Of inland navigation. We have
nothing TO say now Of inland navigation
of which great deal may be sAid-but
We denounce this whole scheme as one
commended to favor especially by the
success Of the Credit Mobilier business.
These internal canals will be nothing but
gigantic Jobs, and as 1t is made manifest
now how easy u thing 1t Is to steal thirty
millions OF dollars in building public
highway, there are palms itching for the
handling OF such chances. The cost OF
such projects, even If they were managed
with The most scrupulous honesty, would
be enormous, and would be money thrown
away; but 1t Is not permissible to hope
that they would be honestly msnagedi
and tho indecent haste with which 1t Is
proposed, in Congress about to dissolve
to induce legislation upon the subject, in
dicates that the exposure Of how easy 1t
hto grow rich by public plumber finds in
tho present Congress no other response
than the intense excitement OF an un-
sCrupulous greed at the chance to fatten
upon public spOils.
