The Beaver Argus. .1. WEYAND. Ebtron AKD Psonturrou owever, Pa., /larch 27th, 1572. ON the 4th page of this paper will be found an article from the Harris burg correspondent of the New York Sun, purporting to expose the mem bers of the Ring which gobbled up the greater portion of the ten per cent. commission of Evans for col lecting the Pennsylvania war claims from the United States, amounting to some M0,,000. It will be seen that names, dates, amounts received, &c._, are specifically made; and, if true, they reveal such a state of cor. ruption and fraud as should consign the conspirators to the wails of a prison. It is shocking to contem plate the moral turpitude developed in this expose ; and, It is but just to the parties accused have sworn before the investigating committee that the charges are false. We think they should not bestow in-corrobor ating their statements by disinterested ti,stiniony. The affidavit of Yerkes— in another column, looks rather ugly toward the Auditor - General ; especially when taken in connection with those contained in the Evans matter. It is sincerely to be regretted that any obstacles should be thrown in the way of the invitigation and punishment of all species of bribery and fraud. This thing of trying to smother and cover up corruption un der the plea that it will injure the party=; - is mistaken policy, and does more injory — thap , an honest, open determination to aide and punish the offenders. A party That, will not free itself Limn the charge of gross frauds and peculations of the public funds is not deserving the support of the people. The Republiam party we are confident, is freer than any other, from th'ese political sins; hut this does not excuse us from the duty of it careful and watchful effort to clear our skirts from the charge of an en deavor to whitewash grave alleged delinquencies on the part of public ()Itict•rs. • T is very clear to those who have given our State finances a little thought that the people have been fleeced to the extent of nearly three hundred thousat4 dollars in the col lection of the war claims due Penn- Sylvania; and it is almost equally clear that a "ring" was formed by some of the State officers and other parties, at Philadelphia, to mako this fleecing operation a success. `.Cow• if these two points are well taken, tt ,occurs to us that the Attorney tieneral of the Stateshriuld take hold of the matter, and develope every het and uncover every scoundrel who hail either a direct or remote connec tion with the affair. The Evans in- vestigatiug committee is made up of men, who are looking ahead for po litical ti , mors, and not one of them will have the nerve to ask such ques tions as will implicate the influential persons thought to'be the rogues In the War Claims swindle; on the con trary it_ is almost certain that that committee will make a report exon erating every body but poor Evans, who has been chased out of the The people, therefore,' need ex pe-t b a little at the hands of the eoimui t tee refered to and if their At torney General likewise fails them they will have to grin and bear the 10,-, and patiently wait for "the bet ter time coming" i;-; refreshing to note that mans of the leading political journals of the country who favor the re-nomination of lieneral Grant, are setting their faces against this "reading out," "which is so flivinmity-tione by this and that little clerk of the party." John W. Forney, iii the Washington C/eroniefe we ha ve,cot9e to this, and admitted it, that several. proud nent Republicans are avowedly op poscd to the re-election, of Gen. Grant, and will work determineOly t . ) alvlmnplish his defeat before the convention. Their influence must not to underestMiated. But because and Horace Greeley, 111 ,.1 Sehurz, oppose the rtil In U;1111 . 1. in ()trice of President rant they are not the less recogniz ed a- ii aders by the great filiNS of We do not approve the i.ithin they haze taken in thisctain paigll, but we none the less repognize the r great service In the et utse of true ItAtpublicanisin; and moreover we know the periple recognize it, no mat. ter what particular man or men they support or oppikite 4 1'4'4- the Presidency. Thc rulitpr of these great. leatiori al• together out of ttat party, simply be cause they have their preferences in relation to - the Presidency, or even because one &r all of these several leaders may have aspirations for the this "reading out altogether, which is so flippantly done by this tuattliat little clerk of the party, is very rt iieulou,." 1 T which "is :-auce for Om golo,e - appears not to be "sauce fur the gander." The House of Repre stTsativos of the United States, on March 21-4,' p.xssed_a 1 . )!Il forbidding clerks in a Del, xrtment from acting us attorney or agent before the lie partmen t within two year front th e time they 14t such employment, un der a penalty not exceeding ss,onn :and an imprisonment of not more than one year in the penitentiary. A similar law passed the House last ,seksion. hut failed in the Senate. It was proposed to [flake the law apply to officers and members of congress , as well as clerks, hut a substitute leaving all nut save the clerks was flually p tssed by a large vote. Thus the head of a Bureau incurs no pen alty and is justified by law in doing the same act which in the subordi nate becomes a high misdemeanor. It is difficult to see the equity in this 4.4laracter of legislation. BY a vote of thirty-five to seven teen the U. S. Senate, on Friday last. pas;ed the amendment to Mr. Sherman's Tariff hill omitting tea and coffee. This result completely astounded the °bib SenatOr, who confidentlx'expected that the rate of reduction agreed upon by his com mittee would about meet the' wishes of the Senate. In' view of this action, ' Mr. Sherman said that one of two courses must be pursued—either to recommit the bill to the Finance Committee, or else strike out the second sei'tion. which provides for ten Der cent. reduction on all mann fac•ture4 articles entering into gene ral use. When the Senate adjourned a Mot ion to the latter effect was pend ing. It has been suggested that in view of the - demoralizing effebt which the . desultory action of both Houses on tariff measures not only has On the .business interests or the country but also upon the systematic labors of the Wayii and Means Com itoe, that a conference of the Fi nance Committee of both Honses be held for she purpose of having a -har monious understanding upon rt ve nue measures. .I;; is understood, on the best authority that this confer ence will be held immediately. .:The ac tion of the Senate does not, as is er toneously supposed, make the free tea and coffee bill a law, although both houses have voted to this effect. The vote is only important as - indicating that it is now within the power of the Senate to compel the Finance Com mittee to report the original House free tea and coffee bill at any time and pass it. All inernbere of the Sen ate Finance Committee voted against free tea and coffee except Mr. 404 t. POLITICAL intrigues are the order of the day. It is rumored that the friends of the administration have a scheme formed for throwing into the Cincinnati Convention a sufficient number of delegates to over-rule its deliberations and pass resolutions in dorsing General Grant, The N. Y. Tribune says no one will disturb the Philadelphia Convention who has not fully made up his mind to let the present administration have another four years. The Cincinnati Conven tion is none of their affair. They did not call it; they are not invited; their presence is not desired. Let them mind their own business and run their own machine. THE Providence R. I.) Press de links tts position and conveys some hiut4 c ;i - to&altogether out of place just . now thls-wf_gorous fashion: Our . hopes for the fattlre . of our country are based upon an honest administra tion of the Republican patty, We shall do all we can to conservtk-An honest and pure administration of the party. To do this we shall ad vocate the guillotine for useless of ficials who eat the people's bread, but do _not earn I!; the exposure and breaking up of all rings of political swindlers, and the pronpt and thor ough punishment of thieves. To the milk-sops who prate of the policy of hiding wrong and corruption because it happens to be in our party, we have only a feeling of pity that they have sunk their manhood and nobility in that voting machine known only as a party politician." CosstnEitAßLE interest is said to be exhibited in\\'ashington over news received from Illinois to the''etrect that if the State convention. in May next, does pot repudiate the Temper ance law passed by The last Repub lican Legislature, the German popu lation would letive the party. Anoth er interesting incident in the same connection is an article recently pub lished in the Chicago Stoats Zeitung, which is edited bt• the Collector of Internal Revenue there—an Admin istration man—on the French Arms scandal. This editional asserted that if, in the present investigation, it is proved that, after the neutrality proclamation of President Grant, arms were sold or delivered to persons known to be agents of the ,French government, and the officers' who conducted the business are not im mediately and dishonorably discharg ed, then Gen. Grant would have ail immense burden to care• in the next campaign. This is considered sig nificant. Tll E Pa. Legislative Committee visited New York on Friday last and examined the late State agent Evans concerning the war-claim frauds. A correspondent of the Pittsburgh (k' z.lte says the ex-agent underwent a 1 two hours catechizing in the pres ence of his counsel. The substance of his testimony was that not a single officer of the State receiv , ..d a cent Of the money. The bulk of what he received during the four years of his agency was spent in liquidating all churns against him, whirl .N he consitl- ' eml debts of honor, in speculating and clerk hire. 4)f the money re. velvet: as commissions he paid $6,000 to li.

Wit IIeSS was in \doubt whether he drafted the reso lution creating his office. —All of which may or mat• not he true.

IT should be born us mind that it took two or three years fighting, on the part of the public press of New York, to uproot the great Tammany frawf;. As soon as any one of the ring was praweuted for peculation of the pliblie funds, xvitnesses were su borned to swear them , clear; and, it was not until they began to take each other by the throat that any chance for a conviction was pos sible. such may be the ease in re gard to the "rings" which maples.. tionably exist in Pensylvania. As matters now stand it looks as though some of those implicated in the Evans swindle would be cleared. It may take two or three Fears to un earth this plot to rob the tax-payers of Pcnosylxania of nearly three hun dred thousand dollars ; but we. be lieve the time will come when the "ring" members will "blow'' on eaeh other; and the villians, who ev. er they may be, will get their desert. Let us wait and hope. ftrSpeaker Rutan, of the State Senate, has probaply realized ere this that. his unnecessary haste in proposing to continue in office fur three years the "Elder Brother's" recent nomination for Auditor Gen eral was riot "the thing to do." His own district itepuplican journals, as 'well as others throughout the State, denounce his unwiseact,:sinne attrib buting it to sycophancy and others to his understanding of - the scheme by which the appointment was brought about.

Railroad, due in Pittsburgh ot't Fri day morning last, met with a serious casualty about eight miles west of Johnstown, and one mile east ofCone- ATtugh Furnace. The train was cunt posed of one express car, one baggage ear, two passenger ears, and live pal nee sleeping ears; and was in charge of ConduCtor Walter Kirkpatrick. THE ieutuENT About seven 'dock, just as the occupants of the sleeping ears were emerging from their berths, and were about making their toilets for the day, a terrible thump, a surge, a hasty pull at the bell rope on the 1 part in the conductor, somebody else who understood "the ropes" and a shriek from the iron horse, was tollowed by a general feeling of un rest un the part of the passengers, and a decided sensation that. something must' be wrong. Something frus wrung. The third car from the rear of the train, a sleeper• from New York, had encountered a broken ( ' rail and had been thrown on the ties.— The two cars in the rear, both sleep ers, one from Philadelphia and the other from Baltimore, followed in the wake of their neighbor from New York, and also jumped tne track. At the tune the train was moving at :doom its usual rate of speed fur that section of the road, say thirty miles an hour. The cars ran un fur fifty ur sixty yards, bounding over the ties, and then plunged over the embank ment to tile river, about lurty feet below. The Ne•a York car imbed ded its forward cud in the ice, while the rear plattUrin was left her up,the embankment, the posture of the car showing an angle ut about forty-five deg,reei. Following came the Phi /- adeltilna ear. This turned over and rested "oil its back," as it w•cere, one end in the river, and time other against the New York car. Finally, the Baltimore car rolled over and over, and was kit a complete wreck on the l'ersolis who have been eye witnesses of many such aceidents, say they have never seen a car so completely demolished as wets this one. remaining six ears, with !the locomotive, did n..,t leave the track. ruE KILLED The confusion which followed atnong the passng , ers. many 01 whom hail been thus uneeremonioUsly aroused from slum lier,.and, no doubt pleasant dreams, it is unnevessary to attempt to describe. Naturally, It would have been expected that many lives wou ld have used lost. But when the debris had been removed by the officers of the tram, and those of the passengers who had succeeded in gathering theniselves.up unassist ed, the wonderful discovery was made that but two of the pas.sengers Mid been killed. These had been riding on the Baltimore ear, the one wtpch had been so fearfully wrecked. They were Miss. Amanda Hartman, Olt hicago, and Mr. J. Josephs, of Baltimore. The lady was the (laugh -ter of the Rev.

More Hard Questions for Slate cials—Stock Speculations and So Carolina Bonds— Will there be veatlgation I HARRISBURG, 14.—The Cohn tee investigating the publication resolutions concerning Hartra Mackey, & Co,. have niade dili inquiry as to how your correspt ent obtained a copy of the same far without effect. Having noautl ity to investigate the chat against Hartranft, Mackey & Co., Committee have carefully abstaii om so doing; nevertheless, a wh, washing report is going to be I'M to the effect that nothing has h found to substantiate the allegations published against the State Audi or and State Treasurer. Beforea pr p er committee, having authori y, your correspondent would ap ar p l and testify in this matter with ali c rity, but there is no probibility tat such opportunity will be offered; p this evasive report being the only answer that will ever be obtained from Mr: Hartranft. to the serious question asked of him. And now for some more; Who was it that induced Hartranft to be lieve that certain measures could be log-rolled through the South Corofi ne Legislature which would put the new bonds of that State ap to par ? flow much money did Mr. H. pay his knowing friend to lobby these measures ? And is the confiding Auditor aware that the money so subscribed never went to the lobby at all ? And is he aware that when he had been worked up to the buying point his knowing friend indirectly supplied the securlties? As it is very likely Wm. 11. may not be informed respecting these matters, would he object to tracing up his purchase, and finding where they tune from ? Take, for instance, that of August 24, IS7O, 13,000 new Smith Corotina fi's at 734; or Septem ber 26, 1.1,000 at 6:41. Do these two items make up the Lot of :Anon new South Corolina which was sold on the 16th of October 45 to 46 ? If' these securities were bought at 73 and sold at 43, did not that operation "take starch right out" about as Oil as even the unfortunate Oil Creek settlement ? And htt'iing been hurt so badly in these new what in ducement was there-0 go into them again the next Sprg, in March and May and June, and then after paying for carrying, have to sell at another loss? Every man, of murse, has a right to do as he will with his own, and if Mr. Hartranft chooses to spectilate among, people whti invaribly mulct him for every large transaction, he is not the first of his kind, nnd the pub lic have no special interest, provided always the money he 115t.4 and loses is his own. Mr. I lartranft as a state officer and candidate for still higher office, would do well to answer that question. His stock operations ap pear to amount to nearly $1,000,000a year. His judgment, or fortune, or whatever he may term it, is such that whenever he invests heavily ho loses heavily. Now, in these trans actions, does he use the funds of the commonwealth ? There is ground for the inquiry ; will Mr. Hartranft answer it.- - . fl '' . -' ' .

The basis upon which these harpies operate is simply t hat every legisla tor has his price, and their very pres ence, in these assemblies, r*A` an im plied Insult. It is a mortifying' but inevitable conclusion, that few_pub -1 ic quest ions are settled on their mer it, now-a-day's, but rather by -the measure of the advocate's purse. And yet our legislators at Harris burg will tolerate lobbyists - 47 their lobbies, committee rooms and even the floors of both houses being open to the known and professed mem bers of the "third house."

Mail March 20. INTERESTING .EIPERMERT. Erp&lean of a Torpedo at the Navy Yard. At-the Phliadel ph ia Navy Yard, on 1 Saturday c .one of the most Interesting 1 experimen*toolt place that has ever I been chronicled in connection with i thibkcience of naval' warfare. Prior to the rebellion our army and nqvy were of ' little consequence. Fur country, for a long series of years, had enjoyed uninterrupted peace, both at borne and abroad, and there ri W was tittle or no attention given the nufacture of. munitions - of war. B t when the life of the Republic was threatened, and the newisity for Measures defensiVe and offensive be came apparent, alt the resources of the Goverment were brought into requisition. Almost magically an army and a navy were created, and all the improved appliances intro duced into each. Wooden ships gave place to iron-clads and monitors, and as each year of the rebellion rolled on our country beeame stronger and better qualified to cope with heriene mies, either at home or abroad, Since the close of the war attention has been given to our navy, and among the many valuable adjuncts is the creation of a "Torpedo Corps." For sortie time past many experi ments hate been made at Newport, and, until recently, all of them have been .unsatisfactory, having suc ceeded in making - a torpedo that would accomplish what the Navy Department desired, it was detei mined that all vessels fitted out for service should be so rigged to carry torpedoes. Accordingly, the Powha tan, which has recently gone into commission at this station, was pro vkled with the necessary appliance. But before starting out on' her mis sion, it was cietermined to have an ex ',eclipsed in order that a satisfacto ry report could be made to the de -1 pertinent. On Saturday last, by invitation of ITommodore Emmons, a number of entlemen were invited to be prey-- ' ent - at the Navy Yard to witness the novel and intersting test. At noon the explosion of the torpedo took place, and to those best qualified to judge it was a perfect success. In or der that it may be fully understood. a brief diseription may not be out of place. From the boom of the Pow bitten a "spar twenty five feet lone; projected, and from this was the tor pedo, to which guys were adjusted, thus keeping it in position. The misile of death and distruction was sonic five feet under water,and when exploded, which was by means of electricity, a column of wider was, thrown to the height of about one hundred feet, and a wave produced ' one foot above the bow of the vessel. It should also be understood that the torpedo contained one hundred pounds of powder, and the explosion was instantaneous with tilt word of coin mand. The ad vantages over this great invention are these: All wood en vessels can be provided with them, and if unable to cope with the enemy can he run up to the opposing vessel, t e torpedo , expitxled and the ship co 1( 1 npletely distroyed. ,Aniong these present, and who Were greatly pleased with the exper intent, were Commodores Emmons and ( ilisson, Captain Gest, and other !pia va I officers, ex-Secretary of the ity lion. Adolph E. Borie, and several other pr.ttllillVllt civilians. gi so or ges the ed te t de , 0111. Melt have fur marrying! fur instance, oC Lawrence, M t lie espAiw:ed .
