(Jno ol Hip most demoralizing foaturei of
current political history h Ihe steadfastness
with which the Republican leader endorse
the conduct of the carpet-baggers who for
years dominated over the South, and attempt
to shield criminals of the worst class from
list punishment. Wells, Anderson it Co.,
by Iraud ami forgery actually placed Hayes
In the Presidential chair. Their guilt has
been duly established, and yet pitiful whines
j;n tip from the Republican press, at what
they call "persecution," as If laws were only
iimdo to restrain petty criminal. Wells
and Andcrsoirat present are. enjoying the
two best Federal offices In Louisiana, al
though tho latter is now In the peniten
tiary. In South Uirollna white and. black voters
united to overthrow the most rotten admin
istration that ever cursed a people. Its lui
ipjities arc daily coming to light, not only by
direct proof, but by tho confessions ol the
thieves. And yet the whole power of the
National Government, and, tho entire He
publican party,, united to continue and per
petuato the rule of notorious scoundrels. As
an illustration we call attention to the case
.Tnhn Wright, n colored carpet-bagger from
Wyoming county, wo believe, who became
a Judge of the Supreme Court of South
Carolina. The testimony of Ksc-Gov. Moses
who was in tho "Jtlng," given before the
Legislative Investigating Committee is as
follows :
"In- tho spring of 1S7!!, during tho May
Term of the Supreme Court, which was com
posed of myffather as Chict Justice Will-
lard and Wright (the latter a co'.ared man,)
a case came up ou appeal from the Charles
ton Circuit for adjudication by the Supreme
Court. I was (lovernor at tho time, and
was known to possess great personal influence
over Judge Wright, from loug personal and
official association, and also from the fact
that I was the only prominent white man in
the Republican party whe favored a colored
man for the Supreme Court. The case I
speak of was one which bad attracted a good
deal of public attention, both on account of
the large amount of money Involved and
also because of the novel points of law it
presented for settlement. Of the exact de
tails of the case as they came up in proof
before the Court I am not certain that I can
speak with absolute knowledge, but tho
general features of it J know and can swear
to, as also of the practices to which resort
was had to obtain a decision from the Su
prcme Court.
"Mr. Wm. Whaley is a'protninent lawyer
of Charleston City, and lie brought a suit
against several of the banks there under the
following state of facts, as nearly as I under
stood them : Mr. Whaley's father, who was
a very wealthy man, had died just at the be
ginning of the war and had left on deposit
In the banks referred to a very large amount
of money, perhaps $GO,000 or $70,000, and
may be even more, lie had left his son,
Wm. Whaley, as his executor. Soon after
his father's death Mr. Wm. Whaley called
on the banks for the money, and they ten
dered to him in payment thereof Confeder
ate currency, which he refused to accept
Several times he made the same demand and
on each occasion he received tho same tend'
er, which he invariably refused. After the
war, and somewbero about 1870 or 1871 per
haps, he brought a suit against the banks
for the whole amount involved, and the case
was tried before tho Circuit Court, n
Charleston.by Judge Robert F. Graham and
a jury. The verdict of the jury was in fa
vor of the plaintiff, Mr. Whaley, and from
that verdict the banks appealed and asked
that the Supreme Court grant them a new
trial. In the trial of the case before the
Circuit Court Mr. Whaley's leading lawyer
was James B. Campbell, of Charleston. Hut
whtn the appeal before the Suprema Court
Mr. Whaley employed Mr Daniel II. Cham
berlain as associate counsel. Mr. Chamber
Iain had been Attorney-General under Scott
for five years, but at that time was the law
partner of S. W. Melton, theu Attorney
General. Ihe argument took place before a
full bench in the Suprems Court.and Camp
bell and Chamberlain made the argument in
favor of Whaley, while the banks were rep
resented by General James Conner now
Attorney General under the Hampton ad
administration. Some time after the argu
ment had taken place I heard from various
souices that the Supieme Court was divided
in its opinlun, my father, the Chief Justice,
being in favor of sustaining Whaley's claim
and Justice Willard contra, thus leaving it
to Judge Wright, the colored Justice, to give
the deciding voice. In a few days Mr.
Chamberlain called ou me at my office in
the State-House and asked me to see Judge
Wright and ascertain how much money It
would be necessary to pay him for a decision
in Whaley's favor. I myself desired to have
Whaley succeed in his suit, as he had been
a life long friend of my father's and was
personally friendly in his feelings towards
me. In accordance with Mr. Chamberlain's
reiiuett, I called on Judge Wright and found
that it would require $2,600 to get him to
decide In Whaleys favor.and that the money
must be secured to him beforehand. I so
reported to Chamberlain, and thereupon he
(Chamberlain) drew up In his own hand
writing and signed himself In my office two
notes promising to pay Wright in one note,
thirty Uays alter, date, $1,000; and in the
other, sixty days after date, $1,600. These
notes were turned over to Wright.and he filed
his opinion in favor of Whaley's claim, and
the Chief Justice agreeing wilh hlm.Whaley
gained his suit. Afterwards Wrieht had the
notes discounted before they were due, one
of them by Mr. O. C. Puffer, who was at the
time receiver of the State, and the other by
Mr. J. S. Fillebrown, who was chief Clerk
In the office of the Comptroller-General
These gentlemen were both paid the money
uue on me notes by air. Chamberlain."

Tne mass of tho American people of all
parties have wisely resolved, that a contract
ed or fettered system of Rank currency shall
lie dispensed with and that Ranks of issue
shall 1k abolished, and prohibited, and that
tho business of this cxtenire country shall
io carried on with full legal tender or par
money ; tho volume ol which shall bo ade
quate to tho wants of liusinosi or trado, r
tablished on a cash basis. That is to say to
enable commodities to be sold and bought
for cash, instead of doing business with timo
notex, to the advantage of Rankers and Hill
brokers or note-shavers, and to the loss and
injury of woalth producers.
Ihcro aro two kinds of inflation, cither of
which is costly, useless and dangerous to tho
wc.dtli-producin? and business interests of
tho country. Tho ono is an inflated currency
bacd on specie; for redemption and tho other
is the inflated or forced credit system of bu
siness. The first compels business men to
sell on time, paper ; and he who sells on time
must buy ,ou time or go out of business. It
is a contracted and constantlycontracting and
inflated system of bank currency which forces
tho inflated credit system of business on tho
country, and periodically ruins business men;
and H costly, as well as dangerous and use
less; and therefore tho timo has come to car
ry into practical operation the demand of
Jefferson on September 11, 1813. Jcfierson
in a letter to Col. Kppcs said : Hank paper
must bo suppressed, and tho circulating me
dium, must bo restored, to the nation to whom
it belongs." (See vol. 0, pago 190 of Jeffer
son s works, by Washington).
Webster in the case of Ogden and Saun
ders, before the U. a. court at tho January
Term 1827 said : "One of tho first honors
given to Connres, therefore, is that of coin
ing money, and Using and regulating the
value thereof and of foreign oin?, and one of
the first restraints imposed o the States, is
the total prohibition to com money. These
two provisions nro industriously followed up,
and completed, liy "denying to the States all
powers to enact "Rills of credit,' or to make
anything but gold and silver a tender in the
payment of debts. The xchoU control, there'
fore, over tho standard unit of value and
medium Legal Tender ol'payments, isrested
in the General Government," (See works of
Webster, vol. 0, pago 34 Little and Brown's
Edition 18A1.) Tho value of money can on
ly bo regulated by making all dollars equal
legal tenders; which makes them par with
each othr.
Jefferson in 1812 had advised tho issue of
legal tender U. S. Treasury notes, which was
dono in 1812 and he ardently dcsiicd their
substition for bank currency, and that banks
be prohibited from issuing a currency, and
that they should be compelled to discount
notes only for coin or Treasury notes now
popularly called Greenbacks, and not with
"Bills of Credit" or currency, promising pay
racnt in lawful money on demand. At the
May Term of the U.S. Court 1819, it decided
that legal tender U, S. Treasury Notes are con
slilutional money. The opinion of tho court
was delivered by Judge Story, (See 2 Mason
1-18.)
In 1840 tho Democratic party in Congress
passed the Independent Treasury System,
which Act was approved on July 4, 1850. It
made gold, silver and U. S. treasury notes
equal legal tenders for public dues ; it pro
hibited bank currency from being received
far public dues and also prohibited the funds
of tho Federal Government from being de
posited in any bant. The Independent Treas
ury System, since 1802 has been suspended,
so far, by law, as to make tho National Bank
currency receivable for certain public dues
and payable for certain public demands on
the U. S. Treasury, and to permit the Gov-
ernuient funds to be deposited in Bonis, by
which means, bankers have been enabled to
exercise an undue influence, and exert an un-
just power over tho business interests of the
country, and by which several notorious bank
crs have been saved from failure, under the
contraction systom, which they induced Con
gress to adopt, on April 12, lSGfi, and but for
which, tho business of tho country would
have remained in tho prosperous condition in
which it was in 18C5, with over two thousand
millions of dollars of circulating medium ;
which was confined to the pcoplo ot the ad
hering States; making the volume of money,
currency and circulating medium in those
Stales, about $70 per capita.
In order to favor the National banks, the
state bank currency was taxed out of cxis-
tence by Congress ; this leaves nothing to be
got rid of but tho national bank currency,ren
dering the darling scheme of Jefferson, easy
to carry into operation, not only without di
minishing tho voluuio of circulating medium,
but on tho contrary it will increase it ; and
thus aid to revive the industries of the
in a letter to John Taylor, May
28, 1810 said : "Tho system of banking
banks of issue we have both equally ever
reprobated and I sincerely bo
lieve with you, that banking establishments
are more dangerous than standing armies"
(See volumo 0 page 675 of Jefferson's works
by Washington). The Democratic party lias
uniformly opposed banis oj issue as useless,
costly and daugcrous institutions, suited only
to an aristocracy or a monarchy, and no man
can be a reliable Democrat or a genuine Re
publican who advocates their contiuuance.
As tho time for action has come, and to
fully indoctrinate the young Democracy of old
Columbia in the ancient principles of theDem-
osratic party and as tho influence of the Co
lumuian may extend iu 'other counties, my
purpose is to demonstrate the proprictyandad'
vantage of using legal tender money compos
ed of gold, silver and U, S. Treasury notes ;
known as greenbacks made equal legal ten-
dcrs, in opposition to bank currency or "Rills
of Credit," in any form.
Money is what the law declares to bo a le
gal tender for public and private dues and do
mands. The law creates and gives It value
iV dollar is the unit of Federal money, adopt
ed in 1785 on the report of Jefferson in the
Congress of the Confederation in opposition
to the system of pounds, shillings and pence.
The term dollar docs not convey any idea of
quantity. To calculate or ascertain its value
the law establishes o unit of value, which is
composed of a certain number of grains of
silver or of gold. In 1792 Qongress made the
silver'dollar to contain 371 grains of unalloyed
silver, and also made it the unit of value ty
which to oalculate tho value of bond, metal
and paper dollars ; and made the gold dollar
to consist of 24 grains of unalloyed gold
and 22 carats fine.
A "Bill of Credit" referred to in the Fed
eral Constitution, is a promissory note, such
as tho Continental mono and Lank currency,
specially authorized by law to pass as circula
ting incuiuui, promising payment in coin
on demand.
The States prohibited each other from issuing
"a Hill of Credit," by Btato authority j and
by an almost unanimous vote, refused to
grant to the Federal Government tho Kwcr
to issue "a Hill ot Lredit." The Treasury
notes issued by Congress from 1812 to 1801
wero not "Bills of Credit" or promises to pay
on demand in coin, as were tho Continen
tal bills. Nor aro Uio"fiieenbacks" .promises
to pay on demand in other money ; and aro
therefore not "Hill, of Credit." They wero
originally mado payable. In 0-20 bonds at tho
pleasure of tho holder, which contract was
repudiated by Congress in 1863, to compel
tho pcoplo to bond tlicru before July 1. 1803,
in order to get enough bonds tissued to start
the Nalional;Banks ; as up to February, 1803
only 25 millions of dollars of greenbacks or
other Treasury notes had been bonded, for tho
reason that there reus no surplus of circulat
ing medium Of the ."DO millions of dollars
of bonds, authorized by the act of Feb. 25,
18U2, only 2.,')'.)(i,iK)i) of bonds had been ta

ernment had to hire Jay Cook & Co., and
other bankers at great expense to show tho
people, lint by bonding V.N. Treasury notes,
bearing interest, and greenbarU without in
terest they would get six per cent, interest in
coin, (at a peinium) exemption from State
and municipal taxation, and 90 per cent of
the face value of the bond, in national bank
currency t; sp;ciilato with, before tho na
tional banks could be put into operation.
bull legal tenders are both money and cur
rency, whereas tho promissory note of a bank,
socially authorized by law to pa's us a cir
culating medium redeemable on demanJ in
lawful money is merely currency. It is an ev
idence oj debt duo by the maker of it to the
public, on which M hint tlraun interest, and
not being a legal-tender for private debts, to
give it credit mid currency, it is mado payable
iu legal tender money, ou demand, and is mado
to depend fur its value un the prompt per
formance of that promise. Tho National
Rank Act, allows four dollars of paper cur
rency to lis isucd on every dollar of specio
deposited fur redemption purposes, and as a
currency is inflated when its vcliime exceeds
its basis, the promissory notes of the nation
al banks constitute an inflated currency, and
as commerce is cm-tant'y demanding the
coin bai-, periodically that currency is ficti
tious as well as inflated.
Legal tender coin and .ira ennacki redeem
theuivdves every time they perform any
ona of the functions of money and therefore
do not need redemption in other money, or
require to bo converted into bonds to give
them credit and currency, and do not netd
any basis of redemption, and as tho Federal
Government lias thirty thousand million of
dollars of public and private property within
;ts jurisdiction, and as about $75 per capita
will be adequate to tho wants of business es
tablished on a cash basis, and as no money
can be paid out of the Federal Treasury, ex
cept in pursuance of law, to pay lawful de
mands on the Treasury, the volume of full
legal tender money, never can equal, much
less exceed, the value of the property within
the federal jurisdiction ; therefore legal ten
dcr money ia not and cannot become an inflated
money or currency.
In the next article it will be shown how
bank currency inflates business, and produces
money panics and commercial crashes, and
also the difference between a legal and a com
mercial dollar, and how money panics and
crashes may be forever prevented.

MAKKIAUELICESSES.
A bill of considerable interest and great im
portance tu those contemplating mittriruony has
passed first reading in the senate and is likely
to attract general attention throughout the state.
It provides that " no person shall be joined in
marriage until a license shall have been obtain'
ed for that purpose from the clerk of the or
phans1 court in the county where the woman
shall reside, which said license Bhall be in form
as follows :
" To any resident minister of the Gospel, ins-
tlce of the peace, or other officers or persons
authorized by law to solemnize marriages :
" You are authorized to join together in the
holy state of matrimony according to the rites
and ceremonies of your church, society or re
ligious denomination, and Ihe laws or the com
monwealth ol t'ensylvania, A. 11. and U. 1).
"Given under my hand and seal of the or
phan's court of said county of , at this
day of, Ac, " A. 1!., Clerk."
This license is accompanied by a return cer
tificate to be signed by the party solemnizing
the marriage and returned to the clerk of the
orphans' court within sixty days of the date of
the marriage. The cost of the certificate is fifty
cent., and every minister, justice or other per
sons performing the marriage ceremony, and
neglecting to make the proper return thereof is
liable to a fine of fifty dollars. Any person
performing the marriage ceremony without the
necessary certificate is liable to a fineiot less
than one nor more than five hundred dollars.
The passage of such legislation as contem
plated by the act is strongly recommended by
the Methodist Protestant clergymen of Pitts
burg and vicinity. Its aim will be in great
measure to relieve the clergy of responsibilities
which the present system imposes. If the part
ial couteinplatiug marriage happen to be under
age they mint obtain the consent of their par
ents or guardians before the clerk can issue the
license. The law, if passed, is to take effect
next July, and the host of bachelors who are
hesitating, and who desire to escape its restric
tions would do well to make good use of the
Intervening time, or the legislature may pass a
supplement compelling them to marry nolens
voltns. That would be a salutary measure.
Gazette t- Bulletin.
We are heartily in favor of the passage of the
Bill. There i too much looseness in this
country about ihe solemnization of marriages.
A little more formality would prevent many in
considerate and improper marriages as well as
make a record that frequently would be invalu
able in settling estates, and determining con
tested rights, We believe that there should be
kept at some office of record in each Cuunty a
registry of births and deaths.

had made an iitlciupt to escape. The men
stripped llieinR-hes naked and soaped their
bodies well, and thru inn Count himself
through tho na'iwv iron spaces ued to admit
light into their apaitmcut. Tho attempt was
made between 11 ochiek nn Wednesday night
and 1 o clock un Thursday morning. M'Guire
being tho larger in in. soipel liii body thor
oughly and tnndj th.) attempt firt, as they
supposed If tho larg.r man could get through
tho other, as u matter ol' course, would havo
no difficulty In f blowing him. Pushing his
body through the ajwrture, which is about
J.imhcsin width and ticlitccn inches in
length, tamo in tho iron casings of tho sky
lights in tho cell) of the Dauphin county
pnsuu, he made the effirt and got through,
letting himself down a ditaueo of 12 l t t into
the jail yard by means of n blanket, Dawcss
next made tho attempt, but pioving to have
larger hips did nut get more than half'througl
before ho was completely jammed in, and
could neither get backward nor forward. M'-
guire took the end of the blanket and gave
two or three strong pull, but tins courso ap
pears to have made tho matter only worse,
wedging Dawcss tttjl firmer between tho un
yielding surface of the iron cisiii'.'. In this
terrible predicament Dawes.s remained Cor
several hours until another prisoner heard his
groans and acquainted Mr. John l'ecler.Itbo
turukey, of tho fact. The latter immediately
procured assistance, und after using plenty of
soap, attempted to remove Dawcss, first by
filing off some of the surface of the flauge or
outer edge, but raakiug no progress and fear
ing the man would die if not speedily reliev
ed, he sent for n blacksmith. Dawcss was re
leased, after having been in the window about
7 hours, and his body was much swollen.
Dawcss after having been properly attended
to, revived sufficiently to tell tho following
story :
Maguire waited outsido of the cell, in the
prison yard for two hours ; tugged at tho
blanket hard several times, but finding it
only tortured his comrade ho desisted. He
went into the engine houso in quest of tools,
thinking ho could in some way cnlargo tho
aperture and release his companion, but failed
to find anything to work with ; that he hesi
tated about going Over tho jail wall and leav
ing his friend behind him in such a miserable
plight ; but finally with the aid of a wash
lino and a hook got on the top of the wall.
From this point he gained tho outside of the
wall, by means of tho tamo rope and hook
and made his escape before being discovered,
The escape of M'Guire was immediately tele
graphed to different points.and yesterday Mr.

An Important Decision.
In tho year 1804, the Oxford Coal Compa
ny miurd coal under the town of Hyde Park,
and in 1807 the surfaco settled and cracked
tho walls of the Ilelsh Calvanistio Methodist
church. The repairs to tho church cost
$4,087, the premises were othcrwiso injured,
and tho congregation were out of possession
of the church edifice fora period of sixteen
mouths. Tho property ia permanently dam
aged, the walls being out of plumb. A suit
at law arose out of this condition of affairs
and after a trial of two days was concluded.
The jury rendered a verdict in favor of the
plaintiff fur $8,740. Messrs. Hoyt and Pal
mer wero couusel for plaintiff, and Messrs.
Hand and McCltqtock for defendants. Tho
caso is iinportaut as determining the liability
of coal operators for damage dono to tho sur
face, from want of insufficient support. In
this case the owner of the land sold the sur
face, reserving the right to take out all the
coal without entering upon or doing damages
to the surlacc. Tho court held that it was
tho duty of tho owner to leave sufficient sup
ports for tho surface, cither of coal or somo
other proper material, and that ho could not
bo allowod to so mino tho coal as to destroy
the estate in tho surfaco which he had sold
for a valuable consideration. Willes-Barre

WASHINGTON LETTEIt.
Wasiii.nuton, 1). 0 March 0, 1878.
On Saturday last Getierat Sherman con
cluded a long and careful argument fur an
Increase of the nimy, In the following
words : "The necessities of tho frontier and
to guard our public properly will require
from 25JO0O to 30,000 men, for nt this mo
ment there is almost absolute certainty of a
renewed war with the Sioux. Tho Utcs of
Western Colorado are also likely to gtvo us
trouble, as arc also the Bannocks in Idaho.
Tho Mexican border calls for fi,000 men,
and every timo wo attempt to withdraw
troops from that quarter for uso elsewhere
disorders occur which compel us to send
them back." The General probably makes
the bent statement that can be made of the
necessity for troops. I reproduce his words
merely to call attention to that portion re
lating to the Mexican border troubles. Those
troubles could be ended in 24 hours if our
Government would recognize the existing
Government in Mexico. Other nations hes
itate to recognize Diaz simply becauso wo
hesitate. With the support that recognition
by us and other commercial countries would
give him ho would, his friends claim, bo
ablo to suppress nt onco nuy attempted raids
-from Mexico Into tho United States. Lib
erate those 5,000 soldiers said to bo ou tho
Mexican bolder, and send them or hold
them in readiness to send into the Indian
country, and the danger of an Indiau war
would disappear nt once. The argument of
General Howard only shows that our diplo
macy may bo so bad that n large army may
bo iKccssnry. It is time that the Senate
and House Committees investigating Mexi
can affairs should make a report, so that
Messrs. Hayes and Evarts can have no fur
ther excuse fur delay.
The administration's first year, which
closed yesterday, has not been a failure in
our foreign affairs only. Wnllo the Repre
sentatives of tho people havo remonetized
silver against tho wishes of Mr. Hayes, Mr.
Hayes has succeeded thoroughly in "de
monetizing" what he promised should be his
peculiar care, civil service reform. Tho
civil service bus, it is safe to say, suffered
more in the year just closed than in any pro
ceeding year. M nro personal friends of the
head of the Gmerument, more persons iu
whom the vmifideiice of the people had nev
er in any nay bten expressed, have been ap
pointed In i Mice than ever la-fore. Efficient
offici rs have betn removed right and left to
make place fur lu-tivn politicians, without
even the excue that nne pirty has when it
makes changes lor political reasons.
We learn from the cuiirs'i of this Admin
istration that thine who iry "Reform" most
loudly tumnit always In trusted as reform
ers. There is it gie.it deal of surprise that Mr.
Cnx insisted upon the publication in the Bee
oriinf the icinirk with which ho greeted tho
veto message that it wa "a charge of fraud
by n fraud" Whither Mr. Cox ought to
have made the icuiark or not, he was right in
insisting that having mado it, it should bo
printed as a part of the regular report.
The Post this morning publishes the follow
ing list of Senators who, it says, were not in
toxicated during the all night session on the
silver bill.
Rurnside, of R. I.; Cameron of Penn'a.;
Jones, of Nev.; Rooth of Cal.; Conovcr of
Ma.; Katon of Conn.; Conkling, of N. l.j
Ingalls, of Ks ; Paddock, of Neb.; Mitchell,
of Oreg.; Oglesby, of 111.; Howe, of ll'is.;
Chaffee, of Cal.j Bruce, of Miss.
This is an ingeniously prepared jumble of
Senators, some of whom it is generally sup
posed were entirely sober, some "half sober"
and Bomo incapablo of coherent thought or
unaided physical exertion.

Legislative Correspondence.
Hariusuurci, March 5, 1878.
In my last I spoke of the defeat of the
Philadelphia "Recorders Bill" as being
temporary. A marshalling of the furces on
tho night of defeat resulted in the reconsid
eration and final passage of the bill on the
following Wednesday morning. In the
Seuate the next day the bill was reported
with amendments as follows that whenever
judgment was recorded for delinquent taxes
and penalties such penalties shall be paid to
the Commonwealth and not to the Recorder;
that whenever judgment is obtained and a
return of execution is "no goods" tho Com
monwealth shall bear the costs of proceed
ings. The House has not yet decided upon n
change of Its rules to prevent illegal voting
upon bills by personation. A resolution re
quiring members to rise at their seats and to
remain standing as a requisite to allow their
votes to be recorded, when any question is
raised, wns again defeated in the House on
Friday. The change of tho rule received a
majority of all the votes cast, but not a two
thirds vote which is necessary.
Monday evening a resolution involving a
similar change was again produced but was
laid over under the rules.
The all important event of the week is the
late deyelopements In regard to alleged ir
regularities in the collection of State taxes
duo from the "Union Railroad and Trans
portation Company," The facts in connec
tion with this case have been so thoroughly
mixed up with newspaper and street gossip
that it Is almost impossible at present writing
to arrive at any correct statement of theaffair.
It ncsms that in October last, at tho time the
above mentioned company went into liquida
tion It was discovered by Messrs. Olmstead
and Simonton, the first ex-corporation clerk
in the Auditor General's office, and a law
student, and the second a prominent attorney
of the Harrisburg bur, discovered by some
means that a large amount of tax aggregat
ing some $200,000 was under the law due
from but unpaid by the corporation above
mentioned. These gentlemen, "taking time
by the fore lock" went to the officers of the
accounting department and the Attorney
General and proposed to collect this
tax fur a commission of ten per cent. An
agreement to this effect was drawn tip
by Messrs. Simonton and Olmstead
and signed by the chief clerk of the Auditor
deneral's department, by the State
Treasurer, and afterward by tb Auditor
General in person. The tax to the
amount above named, less cn abatement of
about $18,000 wss promptly paid over by the
corporation without litigation to Simonton
and Olmstead, who, upon the receipt of a
I warrant upon the State Treasurer, drawn by
tne Auuitor-ucnerai lor tnelr commission oi
ten per cent., paid over to the Common
wealth the amount of taxes collected, viz ;
$191,000 upon which their commission was
$19,100. The large amount of the fee paid
iu this case, soon attracted attention and the
matter soon began to be generally gossiped
about on the "hill" and la the city. This
gossip finally culminated in certain articles
published In a dally papor iu Lancaster,
which were iu the nature of an adverse and
severe criticism of the transactlon.and which
cast reflection of a serious character upon alt
parties whose uamcs. were appended to the
contract under which the money was collect
ed and upon the present corporation clerk
In the Auditor-Generals office Mr. Wm,
J i Bayard, whose name dnc-i not appear in
any of flie papers connected with tho con
tract, and who has denied in a letter pub
Ilshed In tho Patriot any Improper connec
tion with the matter. Now a legislative In
vestigation has been demanded by both sides
and n resolution appointing such n com
mittee has passed the Senate, and Senator
Clark, Gazzam, Daylca, Herrand Pealo have
been appointed as tho committee. Until this
commlltco has reported, your correspondent
deems it best to express no opinion on the
subject.
