As belonging to the Evaus endiex
xlenient, we furnish the following in

a UfAO.
As 1 have said, Uuise who are now
Crsecutiug Evans to ahield tlunnsel ves
ve suddenly run against a M)*g.
This snag is iVoctor Wtliiam Paine of
the PhilidMphia University.
Paine is a warm friend ol Evans
in fact, the only ooe b( pn>mineuce
who believe* in his entire inpoewee.
He is, moreover, very rich and very
energetic. He got Inu a row with
the Pennsylvania State officers be
cause of his warm friendship for
Evan*, and they in turn want for him
on charge of selling bogus diplomas
from his university. ( •
And now comas Dr. Paine s turn.
He is shrewd, energetic, vindictive,
n.l has the weans to carry out his
.ends. He has put on the w*r paint,
seized his tomahack.aud declares that
he will have the scalps of HartranA,
Ma.kev, and Kemble before thirty
•lays. He is already well armed.
He first proposes to show that the ap
poiutmeut of Evans as State Agaot
was a conspiracy to make money out
of the war claim*. Tho other ihy,
when Kemble was before the commit
tee. he testified that, although he was
Stale Treasurer at the time, he did not
kuow that Evans was agent fur the
claim*. This is a rap at Gov. Geary,
and Dr. Paine says, is fklaehnod num
ber one in Kemble's testimony.
Again, Kemble says that Ktraus
came to him and asked for a letter of
introduction to some one iu Washing
ton who could help him get a claim
through. He said he gave him one to
Titiau J. Cofley, a lawyer there, but
that Evau# never used it, "t>r the rea
son," said Kemble, "that he did not
want a letter to a respectable law
yer, but one to some one who could
take hiin into Grant's deparimeuts by
the kitchen way." New raiae knocks
snots eut of this statement by exhibit
ing the original letter given by Ketn
ble to Evaos to present to"tbe rwpcet
able lawyer." Here it is:

fIWIJiCIXG A HEAVY TOMAHAVK.
Paine says that Evans never used
this letter because be was ashamed to
present it But Paine has another
tomahawk which he says will go clean
through the political skull of Hart
ranft. That is a sworn transcript of
Hartranft's private account with his
brokers in Philadelphia. This shows
that at the time these claims were be
ing collected that worthy had specula
tive transaction* amounting to #6Bl,- j
000. He also has letters, checks, and
other documents (a! I originals) proving
conclusively that not only Hartranft,
but Mackey, was using the funds of the
commonwealth (money derived from
these war claims) to speculate upon
and to pay their private obligations.
Paine also has the dead wood en the
following transactions. Hartranft
and Mackey not long ago used the
funds of the Commouwealth to pur
chase $189,500 of the 5 per ceut. bonds
of the State, and $31,000 af the 6 per
cent, bonds. These bonds they sold
back to the Sinking Fuud under au
thority of legislative enactment at a
profit of $5,643,42, the whole tiamac
tion occupying but a few days. Paine
has iu his possession a copy of their ac
count with the broker who made the
transfers.
HOBS.
The indefatigable doctor also bas
documentary proof that Mackey. the
Treasurer, loaned the money of the
Btate to private parties, reccing for
the same interest as follows: Aug. 25,
1869, $677,50; Feb. 9, 1870. $3,900,-
50; May 16,1870, $314,50; and Oct.
14, 1871, $5,000.
The doctor is going to llarrisburg
in a day or two to lav his proofs be
fore the Legislature and demand an
investigation. J/ean while there is
quaking in Harrisburg lest Evans
should tell the whole truth. If they
fear him so much the effect of the ar
rival of Dr. Paine may bo likened to
that produced iu the uest ot rats by
the sudden appearance of a terrier.
More Stink.
In state senate on 11th, Mr. Billingfelt
made a statement concerning the bills for
refitting the halh, saying that rutnors had
roacbed the committee which led him to
offer the following resolution :
Retolved, That the>uditor general be re
quested not te draw his warrant upon the
state tieaturer for the payment of suid
bills tor the present, and that said com
mittee on retrenchment and reform be in
strcuted to investigate and require into
the matter, and report without uelay.
Messrs. Strang and 1 Davis, of ThHadel-'
pbia, said this matter had been fully dis
cussed before and was opposed to further
waste of time
Mr. Billingfelt said the information hud
come directly to the committee, that part
of the material puichascd for these Pull*
had been used to fornix" other cstubii-h

about tho radical iraud* in Philadel

ing the democrats are telling lire when
they charge fraud* and rascalities

These frauds to eb?f"t Gray, are not
the first, by that party—it hwbeeu *"
only too successful game for them
since the days of "loyalty,'' and these
practices fully accuuut for their being
in power so long.
It is now pretty clearly evident,
from repent developments —based
upon radical ewidfnp/s btft —lhat An

J/r. Wallace, on 7th iust., intrwluc
ed a joint resolution authorising the
State Treasurer to ceilcct from the
United Slates certain monies, herein
fore iinprejierly paid, as follow*:
Whereu*, The GovernuiriU of the
United States, through its accouutiug
officers, did on the 28th dsy of Octo
ber, 1868, adjudii-ate and settle the
claim of the elate of Peunxylvanis
against said Government by which the
sum of $405,651 46 was found to be
due la said Hftttc, and ou that day a
warrant in favor of the Governor of
Pennsylvania for that sum was drawn
by the Secretary of the Treasury upon
the Treasurer of the United States;
and.
Whereas, They did also, on the 27th
day of August, JBJQ, adjust and set
tle another account or said Btate
against said government, upon which
a balance was found to be uue to the
State of $13,684,709, for which, on
that day, a warrant was in like man
ner drawn iu favor of the Governor of
the State upon the Treasurer of the
United Seates; and,
Whereas, For both of said warrants
drafts were drawn in due form in fa
vor of John W. Geary, Governor, or
order, which Mid drafts were not en
dorsed by said Governor, nor were the
moneys paid to him by the Treasurer
of the United States ; and.
Whereas, The moneys aforesaid
were paid to George O. Evans, alleged
to be the special agent and attorney in
fact, and he alone endorsed the same ;
and,
Whereas, Said moneys have never
reached the Treasury of Pennsylvania,
but have been embeulfd by said
Evans and others acting with him ;
ami,
Whereas, The acts of Congress, reg
ulating the payment of claims upon the
United States, require that all powers
of attorney er other authority for re
ceiving payment of any claims, shall
be absolutely null and void, unless the
same shall hie made ami executed after
th t allowance of the amount due ; and,
Whereas, The issuing of the war
rant for the payment thereof, and the
moneys aforesaid were paid, in plain
violation of the requirements of said
acts of Congress, and by reasons of
such payment the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania hath never received the
moneys aforesaid, therefore be it
H&olved, That the State Treasurer
be, and he is hereby authorized and
directed to demand from the United
States Government, payment of the
moneys justly payable to this Com
monwealth upon settlements herein
before named, as ascertained to be
due and payable, and to take such oth
er steps in regard thereto as will so
cure payment of the moneys aforesaid
into the Treasury of this Common
wealth.
Mr. Bellingfelt suggested that this
Legislature could call Evans an em
bezzler, as his case wus now in a court
of justice, where that question would
be adjudicated.
Mr. Wallace responded that he wa.
iu favor of pulling things by their
right names.
After luther diteutsioit the resolu
tion passed finally by a viva voce vole.
This hill also passed the house on
same day, and will give new interest
to tho Evans swindle.

smokes many or few whether

whether he has or has not taken many,

his relations to eflice. It insists thai
ever so suoooafol a Jafenpf op these
points would uot shield the Prreideut
from the mare weighty charges which
have been made against him. It pro
pose* a list of questions which wc sus
pact that Grant's apologiot* will be
iu no haste to answer. \\ e insert the
incujpatlops of tbi* Jble Kepublirau
journal:
The questions which candid men,
who liave n. prejudice* against hiin
and no personal end* to serve either
by opposing or supporting him, would
like to have answered, are these —and
if Harper's Weekly will answer them
fraukly aud fairly, it will either do
him or tin pgbjig a ercjit service:
Why did he apimiut such a man as-
Sickles minister ta Spain ? Why did
he select uew judges to the Supreme
ourt with special reference to their
opinions on a question already iubju
diet, or. in o'her words, pack the court
I procure u judgement on a question
of property fuvoraole to his own
of political expediency ? Why has
he kept and does he sliil keep a man
like Caesey in the New Orleans Cus
tom-home, in spite of grows ami uotori
ous misconduct, and this his
brother-in-law? Why does he keep
a man like Kramer minister to Den-
mark, in spite of his recent display of
incompetency and misconduct, and
this man also his brother-in-law ?
Why did he appoint to the New York
and Philadelphia cojlectorship, when
meditating a great measure nf civil
service reform, two persons whe were
notoriously opposed to civil-service re
fjrro, and one of whom was, at the
time of his oppoiiitment. actually en
gaged in denouncing it in his |>aper ?
Why did he appoint a man like George
11. Butler consul general iu Egypt?
Supposing him to have been deceived
in Butler's character, how is it that a
year after Butler's abomination* have
been exposed he is still retained in of
fice? SupfHising the President to
havp innocently given Leet the letter
of iutrodctioii to Ifr. Grinned, which
we believe he did, how is it that on
discovery how hod abused it he
did not insist on his removal ? How
is it that, one year after Leet's mis I
conduct had been exiiosed by a Con
gressional committee, he still rcmaiucd
iq utice, and that it took a second in
vestigation ami exposure to make his
removal even talked of? We might
multiply these questions, if necessary,
but satisfactory answers to these would
break the back of the opposition.
When the original admirers ami
supporters of Grant are constrained to
ask answers to siicli a damaging series
of questions, it is toe eyhjent what the
country ought to think of him.

AM Amusing Incident
While the Ho use wag in committee
of iho whole,on the Deficiency Appro
priation bill a cjue*lion arose on which
a division of the House was demanded
and the chairniau, Htevcnaou, uf Ohio,
appointed General Hutler and Geuer
a I Funiawortli tellers. Hutler and
FariMWorth are not 011 *|M-nking terms,
and when liter met in front of the
Clerk's <lc*k they did not observe the
usual custom of shaking hujiJs, w here
upon some m< mbcr, wishing to carry
011 the joke; insisted upon introducing
them. Hutler was unwilling to look
at Farnswoith, while the latter refussd
to rt cognise Hutler. liny stood
looking away from each other, with
out speaking, to the gretl umuaemeul
•f the members who ure familiat with
llieir peculiar relations. Each tried
to ignore the presence of the other,
ami each anuoppced the count of his
side without censultaliou or agree
ment Fortunately for Faruaworth,
he could not tell whether Hutler was
looking at him 01 not. He has au
impression that occasionally Hutler
went one eye ou him, but he is not
sure of this ; for sometimes it seemed
as if Hutler was looking ip two or
three differeut directions at opce. The
affair passed ofl without any personal
collision.

Have had unusual opportunities of ascer
taining precisely what is wanted, and
of producing a perfect machine.
They have brought out an en
tirely Naw Waixoaa,
which they call the
"PROVIDENCE"

We consider the Providence superior to
all other*, for the following reasoaa i
Dt. The ROLLERS, of large sia* and
boat quality of White Rubber, are all so
cureq to their Shalt* in the moat perma
nent manner, the Moulten Process, mak
ing tho beat roller in the world.
2d. Tho PATENT METAL JOUR
NAL CASINGS prevent any wear upon
the Journal*.
[The wooden Journal* in which tho iron
shafts of other machine* run, soon wear,
and the efficiency of the Wringer is hero
by greatly reduced.!
itd. The DOUBLE SPIRAL COGS
used on this Wringer give the utmost eaae
and vtcadine** in working, while the doub
le stop prevent* them from bottoming or
being thrown out of gear. We furnish
either single or double gear Providence,
a* desired.
4th. The ADJUSTABLE CURVED
CLAMP readily adjusts this Machine to
tuba of any aiae or thick new, making a
perfect fastening. No woeden peg* or
