Evans not Arrested
Although the . Harrisburg Telegraph
(Republican) stated on the 28th ult.,
that a warrant for the arrest of the em
bezzler, Evans, had been placed in the
hands of the Republican Sheriff of Phil
adelphia, Cram hers not ye: been arrested.
Wednesday morning last Deputy Attor
ney General Joseph M. McClure was re
moved from his position by Attorney Gen
eral Brewster, in obedience to the demand
of Governor Geary!
.The Harrisburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph (Repub
lican) says:
" The reason given for the removal was
that McClure publicly and privately
plicated Governor Geary in the Evans de
falcation.
Some days ago Mr. McClure was re
quested to resign, but be declined to do
so, unless Mr. Brewster would state in
writing wherein he had been faithless in
his official duties.
Some rich .developments are now ex
pected touching the administration, espec
ailly relating to the origin and operations
of the War Claims Ring, and also con
cerning certain pardons granted by the
Governor."
Cpl. James Starr, of Philadelphia, has
been appointed ad interim successor of
1/flock , ra on h.la ororttA F h . appoint
o It - will be remembered that Deputy
Attorney General McClure was the official
whet, in the discharge of his duty, exposed
the Evans embezzlement—hence his re
moval by the Evans " ring," composed of
Governor Geary, Auditor-General Hart
ranft, Attorney General Brewster, State
Treasury, Mackey, and other prominent
Republican officials.
The State Treasury plundered by the
State officers, the plunderers at large and
defiant, and the only official who dares to
do his duty ignominiously removed from
office! Such is the condition of affairs in
Pennsylvania to-day, under Republican
tale!
It is to be hoped that the people will at
last have their eyes opened to"the wisdom
of electing Republicans to office."
WHY THEY WART TO DEFEAT MC
CAHLH•rq-• —The reason why the Radical
leaders are so anxious to elect Stanton
Auditor General is apparent when it is
known that through -his hands passes
all the corrupt and swindling bills like
the Evans swindle. If General Mc-
Candless is elected, the Democracy .will
place a guard over the State Treasury,
and all the robbing, plundering schemes
will have to pass under his observation
before they are settled. Ile will be in a
position then to head them ox and choke
the leeches. No wonder thewthat Evami,
Bergner, and the other vampires who live
and thrive by gorging themselves with
State plunder want McCandless defeated.
McCandless election voauld be the death
knell to their raids on the Treasury.
How THE TAXES ARE REPVCED !
The Radicals are constantly claiming
that they are reducing tuxes. They well
know that there is scarcely a word ef
truth in the statement The people know
that there is not, because they pay more
taxes every year. The Rochester Union
puts these two facts side by side as an
' - 'evidence of the way taxes are being re
" 'duped :

"No New Departure."
The following fundamental jmd vital
principle of pore Democracyvvasdeclared
by llon. Wm. A. %Race chairman Of the
Democratic State Central Committee iu a
speech made at Ebensburg, Pa., Sept '4th
and takes all the "mares nest" out the eve
of our Radical neighbor of the Montrose
Republican, and the whole Radical "pack."
Our enemy plumes himself ' , upon our
alleged distractions and divisions, and ar
gues hence an easy victory. Let met tell
him to "lay not-this flattering unction td
his soul." The so-called distractions and
divisions of the Democracy are settled in
their own ranks and in their own way.
They will bring neither aid nor comfort
to the enemy. That which they are
pleased to call "a new departure" we do
not so regard. There is no such word in
the vocabulary of Democracy as abandon
ment of principle. Their % alleged "new
.departure" is a simple recognition of the
doctrines they have always maintained:
to obey that which hat. the forms and
sanctions of constituted authority until
relieved from their obligation to obey by
the constitutional tribunal or the power
that enacted the law. In this we differ
now as we always have differed, with our
antagonists; we obey law; they nullify
their obligations, and preach a higher .
law. We have made no departure from
our universally received and recognized
doctrine, that the control of the question
of suffrage within the States ought to be
long to the States and the people, nor
does either our practice or onr theory war
rant the charge that we would nullify any
enactment by fraud or violence. The
principles we advocate are those upon ,
which the government ~arew to greatness 1
and to power, and which the Democracy
has always enunciated and maintained :
obedience to law, the right of local self
government and sound practice of consti
tutional government, economy in public
expenditure, and the just rights of the
States afid of. the people. The Democracy
of Pennsylvania have closed up their
ranks and will come to the polls with un
broken front, buoyant with hope and in
spired with confidence, proud of their
candidates, who belong to no ring and
have no affiliation with corrupt cliques,
whose personal, civil and military record
are above reproach, whose gallantry has
been tested on many battle fields where
they were trusted leaders in a fighting'
corps that has been and will be the pride
of every true Pennsylvanian. The De
mocracy will-be at the polls an harmoni
- one, united and determined party, ready
to meet an effete corrupt and degraded
.t
organization, whose chief boast is that
they have made the negro their equal,
whose great power is the corrupt nse of
the public moneys, whose most trusted
leaders are disgusted and recalcitrant.
whose many leaders are mainly federal of
ficials and whose organization, in almost
every leading Republican county in the
State, is broken into fragments, clique and
sections. It is a shell, full of emptiness,
fad it ; vrill collapse and stink when punc
tured and broken by the serried ranks of
a victorious Democracy.
Too Honest to Hold Office
Below we present some extracts from
of Deputy Attorney General
Joseph \1 u-r'lnre to Attorney General
Brewster, upon the forum,
order of G overnor rit'l+s ll •
It appears that Mr. McClure's only offense
was that he made an grpese of the nefari
ous scheme of plunder in which Evans
and the leading Radicals of the State
were either directly or indirectly engaged.
In his letter Mr. McClure says:
"1 folly expected to be removed. First.
Because at our interview, at my house, ou I
Tuesday night, the 15th inst., you inform- I
ed me that-Governor Geary fervently de-
minded my removal. Second—because I I
believed such would be the result that
would follow my exposure of the nefari
ous transaction of Governor Geary and
his miserable Special Agent. Yon will
remember that I so stated when I sub
mitted
the papers to you at Atlantic City.
on Friday the 11 inst.
At our interview on Tuesday ni,..crht
above mentioned You informed me that
Governor Geary demanded my removal;
because I had used my official or semi
official position to procure official papers
from the Treasury of the *United States
and from the Departments of this State.
True it is I did not state, when I asked
' for those papers, that they were for my
private use, simply because such state
ment would have been false. Nor did I
purposely conceal the fact that I intend
edr topublish them, as Governor Grr
would testify, if he could in any Iva/be
indnc d to speak the truth. Governor
Geary himself informed me, at our con
ference. on Tuesday evening, the Bth inst.,
that•he bad heard from persons in the
Auditor General's and State Treasurer's
!Departments that I was preparing a state
ment for publication in relation to the
collection of State claims against the
United States.
The very first use I made of the origi
nal papers in my possession was an offi
cial or public one. Immediately upon
inst.) receiving them (on the Bth or 9th I
exhibited them •to the Auditor General
and suggested to him that immediate
steps be tiken to investigate the matter
and seenre the mono clearly owing to
•the State.
I also submitted the papers to the cash
ier of tho State Treasury, Mr. Nicholson,
in the absenne of Mr. Mackey. Almost
b e f o r e the ink was dry upon the e6rtifi
cute of the State Treasurer, and upon
that of Mr. Weakly, Deputy Secretary of
State, to the copies of the commission
and bond of Mr. Special Agent Evans., I
took the cars for Philadelphia ibr the pur
pose of submitting the document - 6 to you,
as I felt in duty bound. You were not in
Philadelphia, and 'I at once, on ascertain
ing this fact by going to tour office, tele
graphed to yon at •Atlantie City,' asking
where I could meet you. Your reply
reached one too lute for the train that eve-
Ding (Thursday evening, August 10th,) I
then telegraphed you that I would be
with you nelt morning,. I e;niblted the
papers to yop before twelve o'eleek, noon,

Why did. not Governor Geary bring his
POW Agent -to : account. long ago? If
not before, he certainly knew two months
ago' that this agent had in his hands
money belonging to the State. I know
that a certain individual called upon him
in June last—securing Governor Geary's
presence in Harrisburg after repeated ef
forts—and demanded a share of these
spoils gathered from this State Agency. I
know that he came away from that inter
view perfectly satisfied with the arrange
ment then made by or between himself
and Governor Geary. I know further
that the individual aforesaid received
about 83,000 as the result of that interview;
whether from Governor Geary or George
0. Evans, his very Special . Agent is not
material. . •

For my successor permit me to suggest
your sou, F. Carroll Brewster, jr. . While
I was your deputy, you carefully appro
priated to yourself the 83 Attorney:F fees
—which former Attorney Generals gave
to their deputies—all of the 5 per cent
commissions collected since April 6th,
1871, and all fees fur approval of charters.
Having your son in my stead, you • could
swell your limited income by adding his
satiny to the. before mentioned per
quisites, and thus in a measure relieve
your straightened circumstances.
The Evan.' Swindle.
- In the course of an article commenting
on the Evans embezzlement, the Wash
ington Patriot says
In regard to this particular case, a
donble fraud was committed. Many of
these "war claims" paid to Pennsylvania,
as to other "loyal" states, had no legal ex
istenge:trhatever. They had been -disal
lowed," or, in• plain terms, rejected for
want of any foundation, and su remained
in the pigeon-holes of the accounting of
ficers,until a ring was formed to carry
them, by partisan, and corrupt influences.
The ring embraced officials of the State,
lcpding politicians in Philadelphia, as
well as bankers, editors, jobbers, and
clerks in the treasury here. They are all
well known, and can be named if neces
sary. In one or two cases of officials,
threats of removals were employed by this
powerful combination, to compel acii uies
eenc-.2 in fraudulent allowances. All the
parties engaged in the conspiracy are
! prominent radicals, and sonic of tin-in now
holding high positions ia this city and
elsewhere.
These operations have been by no means
confined to O'eunsylvania. her three
millions are but a drop in the bucket, fur
the same system has been applied to all
classes of claims, and the plunder has
b'een enormous. Nor is it any secret that
at least one of the accounting officers,
who is notornmsly connected with these
frauds, has been repeatedly brought to the
notice of Mr. Bontwell, without the least
effect. Find for the simple reason that he
is protected by the Speaker of the House

ity undsT a sanctimonious guise.
The honest claim of Kentucky, W1111:11
passed through all the accounting flies
in spite of the efforts of the inside ag , tits
of the ring,, because' its justice was Mills
putable, was finally arrested in the secre
tary's office by an tirbitrary abuse, of pow
er, throng,h the very men'' 'who' did not
venture to dispute the allowance. If the
agent of that state had consented to the
course'which was pursued by others: and
allowed the accounts to be manipulated.
so as to magnify the amount three or four
fold, with a liberal slice of the -commis
sions," every obstacle would have disap
peared, and the claim have boon paid

The Congaed of America.
Ton ask me to tell you, my children, of
the e‘ents which immediately preceded
the destruction of the great American
Union, and the capture of the country by
its present European rulers,- and to say,
something, of the cause which led to these
deplorable results. I undertake the task
with a heavy head., for when I revert to
that terrible time I cannot help contrast
ing our prima condition up to that fatal
year, with the humiliating position occu
pied now bythe American people. The
story is a short one. In the fall of 1872.
Llirae.e Greeley, the editor of a newspaper
in New York, was elected president of
the Butted States. The people voted for
him because they thought he was an hon
est man, And so he was, But he was
alio vain and weak, and he entertained
certain fanatical and preposterous notions
—about agricultural matters for instance
—which he was determined to force upon
the people at all hazards and despite all
opposition. tie lklie‘ed, among other
thin„,, , rs, that every man ought to go to,the
W ' est, earn his bread, and, low , before - lie
was chosen president, he used to adrise
everybody to move to that region, as a
cure for all the diseases that could befall
the human family.
As soon as he reached the executive
mansion, which we used to call the White
'ouse, President Greeley organized an
army of two hundred thousand men, and
proceeded to force the entire population
of these seaboard states westward at the
point of the bayonet. The utmost vio
lence was used, Those who yesisted were
shot down, and their dead-liodies .were
carried to a national factory which the
President had , established for makiiig
Some kind of furitastie fertilizer. All the
large cities of the east were depopulated,
and the towns were entirely empty. The
army swept before it millions of men,
women and children, until the vast plains
west of F.,ansis were reaolte4, when the
ptirsuit msed,and,tho army was drawn
up in,a continuous line, vath orders to

East;

In the meantime the president was do

er way. His handwritinr , .
wao.,so fearful

man could readit. And so whien he.sent
his first annual mess* to Congress—the,
document tees devoted wholly to - the tariff
and agriculture—a sentence appeared
which was sabsequently ascertained to be, 1
" Large cultivation of rutab,uga and beans
is tbetonlYinipe Of the Amerman•• nation,
lam sure:" The printers, not being able
to interpret this,- put it iin-the- following,
form, in which it went. to the world:
" The Czar of Russia couldn't keep clean
if he washed himself with the whole At
lantic ocean once a day!" This perversion
of the message was immediately telegraph
ed to Russia by the Russian Minister, and
the Czar was so indignant that he imme
diately declared war. Just at this time
President Greeley undertook to write
some letters to Prince Bismarck upon
the subject of potato rut, and, after giv
ing his sineular views at great 'length, he
concluded with the statement that if the
I Emperor William said that subsoil plow
ing was not good in light soils, or that
guano was better than bone dust, he was
a liar, a villain, a slave!" 01 course,
the Emperor also immediately declared
war, and became an ally of Russia and
of England. against which latter country
Mr. Greeley had actually begun hostalites
already, because the Queen, in her speech
from the throne, had declared the Tri
bune's advocacy of a tariff on pig iron,
incendiary, and calculated to desturb the
peace of nations. Unhappily this was
not the full measure of our disasters. The
President had sent to the Emperor of
Austria a copy of his book What I
Know," etc., with his autograph upon a
fly-leaf. The Emperor mistook the signa,
Lure for a caricature of the Austrian eag
le, and he readily joined in the war against
the United States: while France was pro

up, handed him a quarter and an order
for a clean shirt, and said to him, "Go

The grasshoppers have mostly made their dis
appearance, though there are some stray ones
left yet, which have not "shaken ofl this mortal
coil," and gone where they will not be gnawing
peoples' crops any more. After seeking what
they might devour, and after devouring most
extensively what they sought, the poor gnus
hoppers thought it was about time to take their
final exit—especially for this year. I think tha
people throughout thi section, and other loco*.

those places their paitiCular rendezvouse, (es
pecially throughout ails portion of the Towel

Tax on Incomes,.
A private letter from RussellgaTett to a gen
tleman of this borough, says-the Honeadak GYM
men, gNes the fbllowing information respecting
the legislation of last winterin relation..to the
tax on occupation) and incomes :
"The law referred to was passed July 241; and
repeals that part of the act of April 29, 1844,
which Imposes a tax of 2 per conthat on sala
ries and:emoluments, and 1 per cent, on in
comes of tradesmen, occupations and profes
sions over $2OO. It seems, however, that there
was a prior act, passed in 1834 authorizing , a
county tax on incense and professions, which
this act does not,repeal. It simply repeals so
much of the act;of April 29, 1854, as is above
deferred to. The intention was, probably, to
