Governor Pattison has sont to the
Legislature the following special ines
sago regarding Mr. Gowen's charges
against E. G. Patterson and the Stan
dard Oil Company, which was read and
referred to the judiciary committee :
Executive. Dkimrtmrnt, March 183.
To tho Senato and House.
Gentlemen : It has been publicly
asserted by Mr. Franklin B. Gowen,
a rcputablo and responsible citizen, in
tho hall of the House of Representa
tives, that one E. G. Patterson, a per
son employed by tho Stato in an action
to recover certain taxes claimed by the
Auditor General to be duo by the Stan
dard Oil Company to tho Common
wealth, was paid by the ofiiccrs of said
corporation to suppress tho testimony
ho had collected, and the Stato thereby
was prevented from obtaining its just
dues. These charges as made by Mr.
Gowen arc substantially as follows :
"In a suit by tho great Common
wealth against tho Standard Oil Com
pany, for tho collection of taxes which
it refused to pay, ho had been employ
ed by tho Commonwealth to collect
testimony. He admitted under oath
that tho Standard Oil Company paid
him 87,000 to suppress testimony. I
am prepared to furnish tho testimony
and I make the charge openly and pub
licly before tho Legislature of this Com
monwealth." Although I have had serious doubts
as to the propriety of au official recog
nition of such accusations, I havo come
to tho conclusion, after a careful survey
of tho subject, that the matter iu the
present instance is of sufficient gravity
to warrant my laying beforo you the
facts I havo been able to ascertain. I
herewith submit to you the following
papers: A paper purporting to bo a
contract between said Patterson and
the State, through tho Auditor General,
Secretary of Internal Affairs and the
Attorney General, by which tho said
Pattersou was employed to procuro tes
timony in tho Suit against tho Standard
Oil Company; also, four lotters from tho
then Attornoy-General to tho said Pat
terson! a letter from tho Auditor Gen
eral upon tho said subject, and a copy
of certain testimony said to havo been
given by Patterson in a subsequent
suit against tho Tidewater Pipo Line.
It will bo seen by theso papers that
Patterson was employed by tho State
and that ho subsequently was employed
by tho Standard Oil Company nt a
largo profit. Without expressing any
opinion upon tho subject, I deem it
my duty to lav beforo tho Legislature
tho facts 1 havo been able to ascertain
by a call upon the departments. I also
suggest that a committee of iuvestiga
tion bo appointed by your bodies, with
powor to send for persons and papers,
in order that tho truth of the accusa
tions made may bo determined and that
the btato may he vindicated in its ef
forts to compel corporations to bo obe
dicnt to tho law. If iujustico ha) been
done either to tho Commonwealth or
any individual it is of the first import
ance that tho tact. Do ascertained and
tho guilty punished and the Stato ena
bled to obtain hor legal and just dues.
I also suggest, while upon this subject,
tho propriety of tho Legislature consid
ering whether it might not bo well to
repeal the law giving to tho Auditor
Gcnerat iho authority to employ private
attorneys to collect claims duo thu state
at a compensation to bo paid by said
otucers.
Tho law upon this subject was passed
April 17, 1801, and is as follows: "That
whenever, in tho opinion ot the Audi
tor General or Attorney General, tho
interest of tho Commonwealth requiro
it, they or cither of them shall have
tho power to employ tho services of
resident nltornoys to assist in tho pros
eoution ot claims, tor which services
such reasonable compensation as tho
oiroumstanoes will lustily or may havo
boen agreed upon shall bu allowed by
tho Auditor General." Suoh methods
as that hero authorized are of question
able propriety and are open to much
abuse. In tho present case, which
calls for this message, Patterson might
if successful, Iftivo been paid $20,000,
a sum much grcnter than the compen
nation of tho Auditor General, within
tho liue of whoso duties such matters
are, or of any ofllcer of thu Common
wealth. Tho whole system is ono that
oughtto recotveyour conslderotlou witl
a view to its repeal, or, if possible, its
reformation. It seems to mo that tho
Attorney General should contest nil
suoh claims without other consideration
than that now allowed by law.

Closing Scenes in Congress.
A J'rcss dispatch gives thu follow
ing account of tho last hours of con
gress. Tho last night of tho last ses
sion of tho Forty sovenlh Congreus wns
meinornulo only lor a vast crcwd at
thu Capitol, noisy nud turbulent scenes
upon tho floor of' thu House, dull and
monotonous doings in tho Senate, hand
shakings, have takings and sighs.
Moro than ono-hnlf of tho thousands of
people who came to tho Capitol packed
the galleries, surged through the corri
dors and lobbies, and vainly imploied
Members nud Senators' for seats expect
ing to seu tho Tariff bill passed They
wero toolalo for that sight, but clamoi
cd none tho less fiercely for a chance
to hear the dry details of contested
election oases and conlereuco reports.
Tho families of Representatives, unable
to get seats iu tho galleries assigned
for their use, patrol-oil tho upper hnlls
until some domestic member moved to
suspend tho rules and ndnilt to the re
porters' gallery. This order was adopt
ed, and tho work of the correspond
ents on tho IIouso side practically end
ed In tho Senato tho rush for places was
ns great as at the other end of tho Cap
itol. Fashionnbly-dressed ladies crow
ded through files 'uf negroes and elbow
ed themselves into the galleries until
the last sparo foot of room was occu
pied. Tho aristocratic emptiness of
tho blue-upholstered diplomatic box
formed a contrast with the rows of peo
plo packed tightly along the four side
of the chamber. About t) o'clock tho
President and members of tho Cabinet
arrived at tho Capitol. They were cs
corted to tho President's parlor in tho
rear of tho Senato Chamber.
There tho President remained until
a lato hour, affixing his signature to
bills that had passed both houses. Thu
doorkeepers on duty nlong tho corridor
adjoining tho President's room wero
instructed to allow Senato ollieers only
to pass, and tho white-haired captain of
tho Capitol police mounted guard at
tho door with all tho pride and dignity
of a Sergeant Grenadier. The mem
bers of tho Cabinet spent considerable
timo upon thu floor ot tho Sonate. Seo
rotary Folger, much improved in health
chatted pleasantly with Warner Miller.
Postmaster-General IIowo and Senator
Windom exchanged confidences until
Frank Ilatton diagged the former off
to arrange for the appointment of a
postmaster. Secretary Teller swung
aroung tho circle of his Western friends
and the Attorney-General told a witty
story to an appreciative audience in
ono of tho cloak rooms. There was a
general exchange of good byes, quiet
little partings, some of them warm and
sincere, others cold anil formal.
Meantime the work of the session
steadily progressed. Unobjected bills
wero taken lrom the calendars and
passed, reports of Conference Com
mittees considered and disposed of.
Tho Conferees on tho Sundry Civil bill,
tho most important of tho appropria
tion bills remaining to bu passed, disa
greed and reported their differences to
tho respective houses. Tho report iu
each case was sustained and a new con
lereuco ordered.
In tho house there was infinite con
fusion, the incessant roar of conversa
tion in tho galleries drowned the voice
of tho members and the Speaker's arm
was weary and his voice was hoarse,
from pounding the gavel and shouting
nt tho howling mob that continually
demanded recognition.
It was tho last chanco for tho pass
age of tho Senate bills, and tho men
who wero interested in them knew,ihat
unless tho speaker willed it, nothing
could bo done. Before his desk was a
long list of names of members whom
ho had promised to recognize, but timo
was too short to givo them all an op
portunity, nnd they yelled as though
their hopes depended upon their
strength of lung.
Thero wero no exciting debates, nor
stormy scenes on the iloor. Hooker,
ot Mississippi, who was a trille moro
excited than usual, narrowly escaped a
tight whilo trying to put two ladies in
a crowded gallery. Ho threatened to
whip a crippled doorkeeper, and was
not subdued until a sturdy bystander
threatened to knock him down.
At 12 o'clock both branches adjourn
od sine die.
Tho Tariff Bill.
Congress passed tho amended Tariff :
bill on thu ilrl lust Judge Kelly ex
plained tho effect of tho bill, snylng tho
first section of thu bill was tho "bill
which tho llouo passed last session for
(ho reduction of interna! taxes, with thu
amendments mndo thereto by tho Sen
ale, touching tobacco, cigars nnd snuff.
These deductions would diminish thu
internal taxes from $3.",000,000 to $10,
000,000. llo was tumble to make nn
estimate of the immediate effect of the
changes proposed in the tariff law. Tho
estimate, however, was that the total
reduction of revenuo under this bill
would bo from $0.",000,000 to 870,000,
000. Many of tho provisions of tho bill
met his own cordial support. Thero
were other provisions of it, however,
which ho could not defend hero or clso
where. Ho did not upprovo tho netion
of thu confeienco committee on fpiinlno.
Ho disapproved nls of the Treasury rul
ing ns to tin pinto nnd nickel. Hut, on
tho whole, the bill was, in his judg
incut, an improvement on tho present
law.
Tho following Pennsylvania Demo
cratic members voted for tho bill. Belts?
hoover, Ermeutroiit, Klotz, Haiidall,
Mutchler nnd WNe. Four Peiinsylva
nia republicans voted ntininsl it.
Tho Philadelphia Times thus com
ments upon the law :
It is a humiliating commentary upon
tho capacity of Congress for serious
legislation that the new tali IT act,
which wns tho ono important subject
presented at tho beginning of tho ses
sion, has been delayed until thu very
last day and almost tho last hour, and
then forced to a vote without more
than half a dozen members in either
house understanding its character or
effect. Tho result is sufficiently satis
factory, for the preparation of a tariff
must always bo eutrustc 1 tc a small
number, nnd tho less tinkering it re
ceives iu committee of tho whole the
better it is likely to be. Hut it is very
evident that tho ntajoiity voted for this
bill at last, not beoiuse they hail confi
dence in tho ccininittee that reported it
so much ns because they felt that a
tariff of some kind must bo passed.
The satisfaction felt in having the
matter settled will make the country
more thaii willing to accept thu lanlf
of 1883 as a iiist and equitable
measure, nnd Undo nud industry, assur
ed of some stability, will readily accom
modate themselves to it. Various
iidividual interests no doubt are disap
pointed, but it ought to bu clearly un
derstood that nothing hut the most ob
vions and glaring inequality will justify
any renewal ot tarilt-tinkonng at. the
next session, and then onlv for the cor-
ection of acknowledged error'. This
tariff is expected to last, and for the
present at.least it settles the tariff pol
icy of the nation, a policy of equitable
and not cxoitntant protection, in the
inteie.-t of the whole public rather than
of individuals or localities. This policy
must not no uisiurued uy lobbyists or
bv politicians.
Iho feature ol the act that will bu im
mediately appreciated is the ubolitioii'of
various internal taxes and tho simplifi
cation of others. Congress was not
bravo enough to lisu to the full demand
of tho country for the abolition of all
internal taxes, but so mneli relief as
has been given fiom vai ions imposi
tions that harassed and oppressed small
industries will be gladly received. Tho
wholu eltect ot the act h expected to
be a reduction iu tho revenues of about
seventy millions, scarce n half of what
might havo been spared, but a greater
reduction than Congress has heretofore
been willing to make.
The only drawback to the satisfac
tion which this settlement of tho tnriff
question gives is the probability al
most the certainty that in work so
hastily finished there are errors and
omissions, perhaps only clerical, that
will cause annoyance nnd dispute as
soon as tho act goes into effect. This
is one of the penalties wo havo to pay
lor careless legislation, but wo can
put up even with this if tlio countty
can gain a period of freedom from tar
iff agitation and Congress bo kept
steadily in tho path of reducing tax
es.
REFORM.
Eds. Coi.umiiian :
Snts, Much was
said by the Democrats during tho con
test last fall for Governor of Pennsyl
vnnia in regard to reform. Kings
and ringsters wero denounced by tho
press and people, and liistly too. ov
that tho smoke of battle has cleared
away, tho victors crowned, tho dead
buried, tho wounded cared for, and tho
fcithful pensioned, it is a good time to
look over tho held. (Jolumbia county
is as far for the present as I propose to
I t- Tf 1 . , !
iook. ii my eyes uo uoiueceivo ine,
I seo every office of tho County filled
by men, witli tho exception of Presi
dent Judge and ono Associato Judge,
who wero tho choice ot a ruin, and
havo gone on, not iu tho interests of
tho people, but in their own interests,
rewarding by appointment, favorites
who wero in tho ring and worked for
its success. That such a state of affairs
is desired by Democrats, 1 do not bo
lievo. Tho ring is composed of demo
crats, so calling themselves, a cliquo of
a fow so called Republicans, who work
in tho interest of each other. In proof
of this it can bo proven that tho Repub
licans havo attended our primaries and
counted tho votes after tho election
closed, and ivheu their own party had
mado nominations have basely betrayed
them iu tho interest of tho "boss."
Democrats, let us begin a reform, and
begin it now. If tho people do not tnko
their interests iu their own hands, somo
"boss" will run tho offices as now in his
own intorests. Wo havo ollices in tho
County that one capable man could fill
at a cost of say from $500 to 1000,per
year, that aro costing thu tax payers
from SI 500 to 301)0 per year.
Why is this 1 Because thc4llleo must
meet tho expense incurred iu rutin ng
a ring canvass. As tho machine is now
runt hero is no reward to capability. A
fow years ago a man was a candidate
for County Treasurer, upon whom it
was said the boss looked with favor but
when it was reported that if elected,
his son, n eopablu young man, a gradu
ate of our Normal School, would bo
Deputy, tho '-boss" could not seo it, but
can plainly see our present four per
cent, salary, to that office. Democrats
of Columbia County, there aro enough
of us who havo not bowed tho knee to
this "boss" Ihal, to jmrgo thu party of
nil that tends to rings, corruption, or
perverting of piinoiplo that a favored
fow may secure thu offices. Let thero
bo an uprising in the ranks of the party
iu the interest of honest government,
by tho peoplo for tho people."

De.ith of Alexander II, Stevens.
Alexander II. Stevens died at his
home in Atlanta Ga., on Saturday last,
niter a very brief illness. Jjoiow we
give a brief sketch of his life.
Alexander Hamilton jjtcvens was
born in Taliaferro county, Georgia
l'obruary 11th, 1812, and wns at tho
tune of Ins death 71 years and 21 days
old. lie studied law and was admitted
to the bar iu 1831. IIu first entered
tho legislature in 1830 and was elected
lor five successive years. In 1812 ho
was elected to thu stato senate, and in
IS 13 he was sent to congress as a Whig,
and held his seat till 185!), when ho
anuouncod his retirement from public
life. Dining the canvass of 1800 he
sustained Douglass. Ho opposed se
cession, but was forced to go with tho
south, lie was made a member of thu
confederate congress and soon after
was chosen vice president, but often
differed with tho policy of Jeff Davis.
After Leo's surrender Iiu returned to
his homo nt Cniwiordsville, Georgia.
Soon aftervvaids ho was chojeu to tho
United States senate, but ns hu had
! 1 . I .1 11.1 A
not, compiled wun me conditions ot re
construction ho was not permitted to
take his seat. In 1872 ho was elected
to congress, and ro elected, almost with
out opposition, up to tho XLVIIth
congress. On retiring ho was chosen
governor of Georgia last fall by n largo
majority. Ho also published a number
ol books, his woik on tho rebellion be
ing his greatest. Mr. Stevens wns
sagacious far seeing and liberal minded
