TUEEVAST EASE. liAunisnum(,Bep. 4, 1871. During the past tWo weeks a great deal has been said In the public press with regard to the• collection of , the war claims of,Pentisiivania upon the General Government. The state ments thus made are in conflict with each other, and at :variance wore or less with the filets tifthe case. As the matter has been presented, it is cal culated to mislead the public judgu went as to the horiestyandfidelity of theStateAdministMon, It is oral ly, due, therefore, to the authorities, and the people of the Commonwealth that the whole troth respecting the grave matter in question should be made known. The unkind and bit 'ter discussions in the newspaper have been observed by ,many of our best citizens of all orties with surprise and regret. As a Republican friend of Governor Geary, and a Inver of Justice,. tied fair dealing, I have care fully examined this whole subject, and deem it proper to correct the various misrepresentations that have been made to the pnbile, by giving the true history and the real fact. 4 of the whole transaction, substanthited by documents obtained from Official sources, and I ask that the truth may now be as extensively circulated as the errors it is intended to eorrect have been. 1. The General Government had claims against the State for $606,000, advanced September.l9, 1861, to aid the State In the equipment of troops, and 51,304,711-48:14tu8tutels Quota Of a direct tax levied - on the several -' States for war nurynocK t 1331 act of Con gress. As an offset to the United States claims, the State had vast numbers of small vouchers for expenditures for the transportation, subsistence and equipment of troops, and other ex penses Incidental thereto, amounting in the aggregate to 2,118,419 3. To collect these claims of the State against the General Govern ment, and to adjust and settle thefac counts respectively, Colonel Morton M'Michael, jr., was appointed agent of the State by Governor Curtin, De cember 24, 1861. 4. During the term of Colonel .31'lqichael's agency he tiled State claims against the Government in the proper departments at Washing ton, us follows: March t, 1842, tit fultallment ...... .$1.182.997. March 11. 13611. :id installment BSt39? Febrarary na63, 3d installment.... RAH 91 Total Of this sum he succeeded in obtain ing the allowance of only 41112 50. At the expiration of the Agent's term of office, the balance of the State's account, amounting to 0,118. 306 83. was suspended and disallow ed. This was mainly for the reason that he had failed to produce such satisfactory evidence as in the judg ment of the federal accounting offi cers was nee wry to establish the validity oftho vouchers. 5. 4. ; rom the time when his agen cy ceased, until the spring of 1867, no further etiorts appear to have been made to Settle' the vouchers of the State, some of which have been filed upwards of five years. Late in the session of the General Assembly of that year, the following, preamble and Joint resolution were Introduced and unanimously passed through both Houses:. WHEREAS, There is supposed to be due by the United States to the State of Pennsylvania various .amounts, for disbursements made during the rebellion, but disallowed by the ac counting officers of the general gov ernmenV And whereas, Itis believed that by carefully supplying deficient testi mony, many of the amounts may be collected ' • .therefete, be it.

Jo/RN P. GLAM. Speaker of the Reuse of Itepresenta -, tiVes. Locis,W. HALL, Speaket i of the Senate. Approved—Thetwenty - second day of March, A. D. ltor. .rNo. W. GEARY. 13. Mr. George 0. Evans, formerly of the firm of Evans & Hansall, Philadelphia, having been strongly recommended by influential business men of that city, and by members of the General n inbly, was appoint ed agent by Governor Geary, In ac cordance with the foregoing - resoluh tion. 7. After the Governor had signed the resolution, and appointed, the agent, upon re-examination he per ceived that the resolution had not been made sufficiently binding upon the agent; that it did not designate to whom the moneys, if any were collected, should be paid, nor when, nor require the agent to give bond for the faithful performance of his duty; and so to supply its deficien cies, before issuing to the agent his commission, the Governor required him to sign the following agreement; "I, George O. Evans, of the city of Philadelphia, having been appointed and commissioned by the Governor of Pennsylvania, under Joint resolu tion of the Legislature, March 1881,, to collect supdry'claims In said resolution mentioned, do hereby ob ligate myself to forthwith pay over to the Elude Treasurer of Petmsylva- Ma all moneys whlth - I may be able , - - to Collect under .said/aUtherlty, less the compeneation/allentedi, And ,to 'lnOke semi-annual'reports , to laid StateT reasurer' of,the amounts cbl leetect,qind the- sdurees from -wide derived;.and also to make annual re porta tak add Governor,. under. oath, .including the araountacejlected, and a statenuent oral! claims ascertained to be duo the State, and funt,what seems; and X further , agree, -before -entering upon .the duties .of my,ap pointinetit, to give bond to the Com monwealth in the skim of $lO,OOO, with two suretles.cortditiens for the faithful,.perfonnance tlf my' duties 'Under --mU'leint lithalation and 'this, agreement; bald bond to be approv ed by the clicivernor and flied In the Office of'ihefkeretary of the Com monwealth.' lo;teatiMeny whereof" have here untaset my'_hand and 'seal at Harfia burg,,thlspiday of March, A. to. 1867. .

Cur tin, had signally failed. The di:acui ties that would impede the task of collection of old and rejected claims were known to be many and great. These - circumstances mainly actount for the manifestly looseandunguard ed character of the resolution. •r- MI The same circumstances, in iinietis• are, influenced the character of the agreement. The Governor, .shared with, the General Assembly the im• preion that bat little money would he collected, Thisfact accounts for the smallneds ' qf the sum in whith the agent gas required to give bond. He presumed that the agent would, at no stage ofnls proceediug, have any large sums of money in hand, and consequently felt that in requiring . an annual report to himself; and', a setni-annt, report tai. the State Treasurer, ther with a bond:in the sum _ of ten thousand dollars, the 'interest of the Commonwealth would be adequately prOtected. Evidently the thoughts uppermost in the mind of the Legislature and of the' Execu tive were that the agent would tee& but little, if anything,' and that the failure of the attempt shimld be at his own risk, and not at the cost of the State. • As has wen previously stated in this article, Colonel in the years 1862 and 1863, tiled claims of the state In the Federal Treasury Department amounting lo $2,118,- 419 33. Either he or some of the party represented to Governor Cur tin that the greater part of this sum had been allowed by the Federal ac counting authorities, and placed to the credit-of the State in liquidation of the quota of ;direct tax due from the State to the General Government. Hein* the following Stateuient In the annual message of Governor Cur tain of January 7th, 1862,: "This," says the message (the 81,- 916,719 33 direct tax due' from the State to the United States), "was paid partly by therelinqulshment of a portion of the sums claimed by the Masa-seam he. Government." The portion of the State's claims repro -sented to Governor 'Curtin as having been allowed, and applied to the ex tinguishment of the States quota of direct tax, amounted to;1,804,711 41. It is painful to be obliged to say that the -representation was founded on a misapprehension of the the facts, as will be seen from the following certificates.

The following facts supply the an icwer to this qtition: During the years 1864-fig and - 70,. the agent had coversations with the Governor sev eral times respecting the claims of the State. In those interviews he stated the difficulties in the a ay of establishing the validity of the still unsettled portion of the dahlia that had been filed by Vol. Ai'Michael, that he wa*jloing his utmost to:lob , thin the needed additional proofs, andohoped, with time and patience, to succeed. And when in 1870 he had filed several installments of new claims, amounting in all $1,0.53,- 798 86—previous conversations on the general subject were, in sub stance, repeated, relating to thediffi culties experienced in obtaining sat isfactory certifitate3, the necessity of time and earnest effort; and as a special reason for not reporting. in any public manner to the Executive, and for his refraining from any pub lic official allusion to the .subject, the agent alleged the folloiving facts: Ali the loyal States, be said, had claims against the General Govern went. The pressure in consequence upon the Fe deral accountingofficers -was very great. In view of these facts they had requested him to give no further publicity to his success, as it would,Only tend to increase the, pressure frern the other States for the adjustment and payment of their se counts, and that the final settlement of the claims of Pennsylvania would thus. be einbarrAssed and delayed. All this seemed - both- reasonable and true; and the Governor, at that time having had no-cause to - doubt the ve racity, or to question the fidelity of the agent, accepted as satisfactory his representations. 14. The agent failed to perforio his ,Agreement In not paying over "forth , ,with" to the State Treasurer all the moneys he collected, May 2, 1867, he received ,/5.78,516 SO. Oct. 27, 1863, he received $105,651 413. Aug. 26, 1870, he received $136,846 09. The federal amounting officers, regarding the agent's commission as a power of attorney, accepted his endorsement of drafts for moneys allowed to the State in their settiement with him. The, three foregoing sums the agent retained as payment of the percen tage he claimed ; and concealed the fact from Governor Geary and the accounting officers of the State. How could he have done so, the reader will inquire, and that for sci long a period ? The circumstances which suggest a satisfactory answer will readily appear upon reflection and re-examination of the case. The agent; prior to his appointment, had filled important positions in the busi ness .community, and had always been regarded as a gentleman of in tegrity. His application ' for the agency was supported by a thorough ly competent endorsement. : His superior qualifications for the busi ness, which the State had reposed in his hands, had been manifested in the success be his efforts in this business. The verbal reports of his proceedings from time to time had been such as were calculated to inspire Confidence. Is it a matter of surprise, .therefore, that under these circumstances' the State authorities where deceived ? In many similar eases have the wisest and best of men been deceived by reasons fur less forcible and con vincing. ts ing fue - - h ado has been made.about the endorsement of the draftier the moneys allowed to the State. It was first asserted that Governor Geary had endorsed theni all, and must, therefore, have known that the agent had in his possession the three, for which he had failed to OW any as count. This, however, was soon' found tobe incorrect. The red truth is that the Governor never saw nor signed any of rho drafts except the one f0r5288:753 08, dated June 23d, 1871. This was received by the agent at Washington June d, placed in the hands of the Governor, in the city of New York, the. 26th of the same motith, and was deposited by him in the State Treasury on Mon day, the 28th. 16. 4 ,ts soon as any , reliable ru mors reached the ear 'of Governor Geary that the the agent had exceed- Establish 1818. ed the, bounds of Wine inji3 , lllll6 4n*MY toAbe Prsiindice.

What visi ons of luxury and more than Repub lican splendor has not this name con jured, up to the imagination of:The quiet plodding farmer, the industri ous, frugal machinate, and the welt: to-do tradesman, who shake their head in ominous silence tia they list-. ened to the tales, insp,ired by Tam many, of reckless expenditure of the people's money, upon imperial splen dor affected by the President and his family in their"privste relcitions." Upon personal observations lately made, 1 atia inclined to think the tax payers ought to be comforted oh this point, and the really meagre and un ostentatious provision made for the president of the United States made known. The "White House" is now under going repairs and refitting under the direction of General Babcock, our new Superintendent of Public Buildings, preparatory to re-occupancy upon the return of President Grant and • his S , E.ETCII OF TUE EXECUTIVE MAN- The building is the model of an English gentleman's country house or mansion, as-designed by Sir Chris= topher Wren. in many respects it is most charmingly arranged; the spac ious halls running the entire length of the building t. gives the most de lightfurcirculittion of air, and im presses one with a sense of freedom and unrestraint quite delightful in these days of economizing space and narrow passages. The first floor con sists of the red, blue and green rooms the spacious east room, the state and family dining rooms. The second floor acciSmodates the Secretaries and their clerks, the library, the room de voted to Cabinet meetings, and the living rooms of the President's fami- . - There seems to be a want of gener osity and ,appreciation of the situa tion concerning the private relations and domestic economy of ;.this estab lishment that is difficule to account for. Six sleeping rooms make up the compliment of its accommodations., and-these m ust supply the family and" guests, who at all times must be lim ited in numbers and unselfish in ap propriation. A Christian charity would suggest that in selecting a can didate for Presidential honors (are should be taken to consider the size of his family, otherwise great incon venience would be experienced in providing them with quarters. The room devoted to the meeting of the Cabinet on the south side of the building„fionting the grounds, which I are handsomely laid out, and from whose windows one gets the" finest view in Washington. The, arrange ment of the tables and chairs, so sug gestbie of deliberation, led me back a few years to the solemn scenes and topics discussed duripg the war around this same table. The anxious days and painful nights of these dark days prose before my vision, and I could almost see the rugged features and quaint form of the great man who sat at the beim of State and directed its course through the waters of that troubled and stormy sea. The mem ories gather thicker and settle silent ly as the snowfiakesaround the place made sacred and hallowed by them. How the fact tbat a man to whom Lincoln trusted more than to any other, unless it might he his great War Minister—the one who so suc cessfully terminated the contest for fxmstitutional liberty on thlaconti nent—is now at th me post of du ty, establishes the idea of the eternal fitness of things. I left the place with its hushed and subdued silence rejoicing in the knowledge that its duties bad passed to tried and trust ed hands. The library, oriening from the Council Chamber, is one of the finest rooms in the building • but the utter dearth and poverty of its furnishings is a matter of surprise and painful humiliations. One would suppose that the Preshient's library would be furnished with all the standartiworks in haute and foreign litendure,which seems properly to belong to the study of a statesman, or might be re quired for reference.

There is an apparent parsimony running through its entire appearance that calls loudly for reform. is there no one to lobby appropriations for this purpose? Is there nothing to be - made by such legislation? Is this the rea son for such insufficient care for ma terial aid? Lei-us by all means make it for somebody's interest to do the proper thing, and let us have, if not a fitting residence for the President, at least a generous furnishing of this one. Gen. Babcock brings not only a cul tivated and cultured taste to his work as Superintendent of Public Build ings and, Grounds, but what is rarer: still in a Oval. army officer, a thor oughly dernocratic-appreclatlon of the people's enjoyment. For theipast two years one of the eye sores to a stroller around Wash ington' has'been a board with a rude ly painted notice forbidding the pub lic to walk through the grounds at tached to the White Rouse., This nd a vigilant policeman to wain the sovereign - rabble away, was the work of the last Superintendent,- General Mich ler. It has caused, the expendi ture of a grate deal of profane clenun- Ciation of the President, who proba bly had no more to do with it than your correspondent. One of General Babcock first acts was to remove this offensive sign— a little thing which shows the man. Another was to open a pretty little grass covered and tree shaded reser vation at the corner of Seventh street and the avenue, arid to place therein Seats for the accommodation of sum mer wearied waitfrs for the street ears. In various way's the General has showed hid public spirit. Among the reforms he would like to carry out would be to remove the heavy iron railings.of the park like squares and reservation which adorn the ol der part of Washington, and in sub stitution therefor put pillars and chains, leaving them free to all Com- - ers at all hours of the day and night.
