This question is suggested by the late developments in the case of GEORGE 0. EvsNs, special agent of the Site of Pennsylvania fur the collection of certain disallowed and suspended claims against the General Government for amounts disbursed by the State du ring the war. It having struck the minds of tlif( Governor and other persons that these disallowed claims of our State against the Government :night be collected, if sufficient evidence oould be adduced to show that they were just and right, his excellency wax authorized by the legis lature of 1567 to appoint a special agent for this purpose. In accordance with this authorization: Gov. GMARY appointed one Gt.uaGE 0. EvANS, who gave 4. bail rn the sum of ten thousand dollars for the faithful performance of his duties. The compensation of the agent was 1401 to trceed ten per cent on the amounts collected, though this maximum wax wily to be paid by and with the consent of the State atatlion• ties. The law evidently meant to pro tect the State from being defrauded by the special agent, and therefore made it discretioffary with the authorities to pay a less percentage than ten per cent if they env, proper. The net authorizing the appointment of a special agent was passed 1551 the 222nd of March, 11417, and on the same day the flovernor issued a commission to Mr. EvAns. ()D the 2d o' April following, the special agent deposited his bail bond, and went to work to supply the testimony necessary to con. vince the General dovernment of the justness of the claims which had been disallowed by its accounting officers. The agent worked with a will, and, so successful was lie, that, in thirty days from die date of his appointment, he had supplied the "deficient testimony" required for the collection of ;1,383, - 225,32.
