The Evans InTWtipaU and Defamation.
The Committee ou the Evans embea
zlement dariDg the past week called to
the witness stand a number of gentlemen
who were charged as participants in the
division of the fund that Evans collected
from the United States government for
the State of Pennsylvania, but never
transferred tothe State
General Ilartranft, Mr. Mackey, State
Treasurer, and Mr. McClure, ex-Assist-ent
Attorney General, were all connected,
by charges in the New York Sun, with
this fraad. In the hands of these three
men were nearly, if not quite all the av
enues through which this fraud could be
discovered ; and if they had been parties
to the swindle, certaiuly the last thiug
they would do would be to make known
the shortcomings of a confederate. But
I instead of covering the fraud, the State
j was made acquainted with the embezzle
ment through these three men. Mr. Mc
Clure was the first man who revealed the
Evans swindle. Hartranft and Mackey,
with the accounts of the finances of the
State in their bands, confirmed the state
ment of McClure, and thus the matter of
fraud camo to tho public. If guilty, they
could have kept the matter covered ; if
guilty, they would have done SO
It is
not reasonable to believe that these m"n
had anglit to do with the division of the
fund. Without any other testimony than
I .) -;. inference would be that
tbey were guiltless ; but they were on
the witness stand, and iu sworn testimony
disavowed any knowledge as to whom
the money received by Evans from the
United States was given.

: issued diplomas for a consideration to
, . -
men who never attended any course of
instruction, and to others who were there
but a few times, thus commissioning
quacks to prey on afflicted humanity un
der the strength of a diploma. These
diploma outrages Lave given rise to the
introduction into the Legislature of two
bills for the repeal of charters granted to
Paine's College. What is the word or
testimony of the man who engages in such
work worth ? Evan;, an embezzler to
the amount of nearly three huudred thou- i
sand dollars ; Paine, a bondman of Evans,
and a man who has been selling diplomas
iu his school to quacks, and Daua, of the
Sun, who is a bitter opponent of Presi
dent tit ant and his administratiau, are
the meu who Lave preferred these charges.
Dana knows that Hartranft is the strong
est mau iu the field for Governor, and
that he is popular, aud will add strength
to t'ae Grant ticket. Through Hart
ranft he hopes to strike the President.
Evans is an embezzler and a runaway
from investigation, and the more he drags
others iuto trouble and defamation the
more attention is diiected from himself.
Paine is on Evans's bond, and thus the in
terests nf these three unscrupulous men
are revealed, aud the cause for their
defitnatiou made manifest j
EVANS BEFORE THE INVESTIGATING
COMMITTEE UPON OATII.
Since the above was put in type in
formation has been despatched through
out the country that the Evans commit
tee went to New York last Saturday, and
there examined Evans on oath. Ue fully
exonerated all State officials charged
with complicity in the embezzlement, by
the New York Sun. The following de
spatch dated at New York on the 24th
iost , contains all the material points of
the testimony :
The Joint Legislative' Committee au
thorized by the Pennsylvania Legislature
to investigate the Evans matter, reached
here yesterday afternoon for the purpose
of examing Mr. Evans under oath. It
was: understood that he was perfectly
willing aud anxious to testify all he knew
iu reference to the collection of Pennsyl
vania's war claims from the General Gov
eminent, but he was too ill to be moved
from his quarters, and the committee metfenemleS' Pn!3urer8' Mack-mailer, and
bim in his room at the New York Hotel,
where he has recently been residing.
Mr. John H. Stranahan, counsel for
Mr. Evans, was also present. The wit
ness answered all the questions of the
committee, by which it appears that he
had not paid any State official, directly
or indirectly, any money that lie (Mr.
Evans) had earned a the agent of Penn
sylvania's war claims. He bad used
the muney iu meeting bills and claims
held against him for years, and which
he was iu honor bound to pay. Some
of the money had been spent in specu
lations and some in clerk hire.
Ue acknowledges making a loan to
Auditor General Hartranft of $10,000
on tbe lat tor's due bill. This was repaid
in August last, on the streets of Phila
delphia. Evans positively swears that
no money was paid to Moon or Kemble,
and denies t lolo the Si story of the
bribed officials at Washington.
He bad paid to D. C. Forney, of the
Washington Chronicle, $6 000, alio to
Mr. S. P. I5rown, of Washington $20,
000, out of money earned by witness as
his commissions ; to Dr. John Trimble,
of Washington, he had given in all $6,
000,for clerical labor ; to Mr J. R Dun
glison he had in June, 1S67, given $2,
500, in appreciation of kindness shown
by that gentleman in years prior to that
date. He did not say that this was out
of any money received as commissions.
These embraced all the parties referred
to by Mr. Evans, who testified further
that he bad never paid Governor Geary
any money. ,
Mr Evans before the committee left
his room requested permission to have a
copy of the testimony in order that it
might be revised if necessary. Mr.
Evans has, since the giving of this testi-
monv. Dtenared an affidavit adding to his
testimony, before the committee the fact
that the money referred to as given to
Mr. Dnmrlison was riven to a relative of
that gentleman ; that Mr. Dunglison did
tint rpiwivA it nersonallv. and that was
not nart of his (Mr. Evans') earnings as
commissions; nor was it isdended for
the State Guinl
Letter from Harrlsbttrg.
Habkisbubo, March 25, 1872.
The light let into the Evans-Paine
swindle on Wednesday night last at the
meeting of the committee, has complete
ly vindicated General Hartranft and Mr
Mackey, and placed the whole matter be
fore the oublic in its true position. Both
of these gentlemen appeared before the
committee at that time, and testified that
neither of them bad any complicity in
the Evans business other t'.iao an earuest
desire to obtain for the people a large
sum of money that they seemed in i
fair way to be swindled out of by i
nack of thieves, perjurers and scoun
drels ; neither bad received a cent of the
money collected by Evaus, either direct
ly or indirectly, and there is not a man
here of either party who does not 'be
lieve the truth of this testimony It
would be strange indeed if General Hart
ranft and Mr. Mackey, the accounting
officers of the State, had been parties to
this nefarious scheme of plunder from
the Treasury of the Commonwealth, that
thev should brinsr suit against their
partnen. Their action towards the be
lieved guilty parties should shield them
from any such unfair imputations as have
been basely insinuated by their enemies.
Iu regard to the charge made againt
General Hartranft of using his knowledge
as one of the Coin 'ii itinera of the Sink
ing Fund to speculate with the State
funds deposited with Ycikes, a Phila
delphia broker, all these are explained
by his testimony, the books and corres
pondence of the Board of Commission,
and the testimony of Mr. E. M. Lewis,
('resident of tho Farmers and Mecbauics
National Bank of Philadelphia, in April,
1S70. The Legislature authorized the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to
redeem a half million of the over due
lcnn, with a surplus of that amount of
monev then in the State Treasnry. In
accordance with that authority on tha
very day after it was approved by the
Governor, the Board composed of Col.
F, Jordan, Hon. R. M Mackey and
Gen. Ilartranft, held a meeting to consider
what course they should pursue in view
of the power vested in them by the Leg
islature. After full consideration of the
subject a resolution was offered by Col
Jordan, ''that the bonds aud certificates
of indebtedness of the Commonwealth
to the amount of half a million of dollars
be purchased with as little delay as prac
ticable and that the Auditor General be
authorized to carry out the provision of
this resolution." Gen. Hartranft soon
after called on Mr. Lewis, (President of
the above mentioned bank, that has for
years been the financial agent of the
State, made so by lav) and inforjoed
him of the action of the Sinking Fund
Commissioners, and asked him to suggest
some mode of procedure whereby the
said bonds could be purchased at as little
expense to the State, in the way of pre
miums, as possible General Hartranft
reported in writing to the Board the re
sult of this interview with Mr Lewis.
The suggestions made by Mr. Lewis
were adopted. The correspondence
further shows that the Bank employed
Mr. Yerkes as its broker without the
knowledge of any of the Commissioners ;
also where and of whom all the above
bonds were bought, and the premium
paid for each class and lot, and that Gen
Hartranft's name only appears on
Yerkes books at the time in connection
with the purchase of the State bonds by
virtue of the resolution of the Board of
Commissioners. All this testimony and
correspondence will soon be published,
and the public will be able to see for
themselves upon wnat a slight foundation
these tales of scandal have been founded,
and how basely the character and repu
tation of a faithful and honest official
have been assailed and sought to be
dragged into the ruin of corruption, aid
ed by a gang of embezzlers, political
penitentiary convicts
The committee appointed by the Sen
ate to investigate the sale of medical
diplomas, several limes referred to by
your correspondent, repotted last week,
and a terrible showing up it was of the
manner in which Dr. Paiue, the Dean of
the Philadelphia University, has peddled
the degrees ot that institution round, not
only in this country but in Europe, sell
ing lisense to practice medicine to cart
men, barbers, and men who never read a
medical work in their lives, or attended
a medical school Think of the vast
amount of suffering that must have been
created by these bungling butchers of M.
D. The committee reported two bills
repealing the charters of both the institu
lions over which the old fiend presided.
This is the amount of punishment inflict
ed upon him. It is strange oar laws are
so lame. Are there no stones in heaven
but those used for thunder T
On last Friday morning the Slate
Journal which has all along been con
sidered a strong State administration
Journal, and therefore for Jordan for
Governor, came out in a lengthy and
able headed "A Truce to Scandal ;"
and defeudiug Gen. Hartranft saying
that the sentiment of the Republican
party was crystallizing upon him as the
next Govei nor.that the indication were un
mistakable, and that hia competitors had
practically abandoned the contest. The
editor of the Journal is Mr. Wein For

-whether tbey will or will not have Iiqnor
sold. It takes the question ont of poli
tics and throws it entirely on the moral
cense of the people. If they wish liquor
sold, they can so vote and have it. The
tendency of legislation is to throw more
responsibility on the people. They are
made to feel that there is a direct connec
tion between their ballots and their per
sonal interests. The more there is felt
the greater value will be attached to the
franchise.
The argument of the McCIure-Gray
contest was beard in the Senate chamber
on Saturday .last, and nothing now re
mains but for the committee to 'make
their report. Be that as it may, it is
final There has been little doubt since
the committee vjas daawn what that de
cision would be. There is an idea in
the Democratic head that by keeping out
Gray, the regnlarly nominated and elect
ed candidate of the Republican party,
and putting in a bolter aud disorganizer
like McClure, they will be distracting
the Republican patty, and a sworn Dem
ocratic committee will soon find an ex
cuse to smooth their way to the doing of
the thing they want, and ere the ink
dries on the type that set this item, the
chief clerk may be calling McClure 's
name among the list of Senators of
Pennsylvania
The constitutional bill was up in the
Senate again last week, but was again
postponed. The appropriation bill also
received but little attention from the Sen
ate, and immense number of new bills
were introduced, and many reported
from the vaiious committees. No local
bills touching rnr wnir wore acted on.
The Senate passed a resolution to extend
the time of the adjournment until April
4th. The House concurred in the action
of the Senate, and that date will witness
the departure from the eapitol of Senm "
tors, members, pasters and folders, &c.
Deacon White offered a joint resolution
in the House to remove the eapitol from
Uarrisburg, and appropriating five mil
lion dollars for the building of a new one.
Although there is nothing in the resolu
tion that says where it shall be moved to
all Philadelphiana are excited on the
subject, thinking of course that if the
eapitol is ever moved, it must certainly
go there, for ain't Philadelphia the State ?
They are holding mass meetings, council
meetings, and appointing large commit
tees to visit Uarrisburg and urge the
passage of the resolution. All their pa
pers are full or it, they argue that Uar
risburg is an unhealthy place, and that
therefore the eapitol shdtld be removed.
This is a plausible argument, indeed,
from a city thousands of whose citizens
have died within the last few months of
a fearful epidemic of small-pox.
To-morrow has been fixed for a hear
ing of the argument for a new trial in the
case of Emanuel Schaffner, convicted at
the last term of court of murder iu the
first degree. It is not believed' that a
new trial will be granted. .
The candidate that the S'nJinel brought
out for Auditor General, Ed. Scull of
Somerset, is looming np very strong.
The paper all over the State are favor
ing him with many neat and complimen
tary notices, and the indication are that
be will occupy a prominent place on the
Republican ticket next campaign.
Both branches of the Legislature meet
to-night and this will no donbt be a
busy week.
JUNIATA.
The New York Evening Post says :
The Grand Duke Alexis will find in Rio
Janeiro, for which place the Russian fleet
sailed yesterday, still further amusements
peculiar to that Spania American people,
who combine the most debasing forms of
sport and gambling with the' consolations
of Christianity. Ue has seen cock-fights
and bull fights presented in Havana on
Sunday afternoon as the compliment of
church services in the morning. He
should now see what is called a "religions
festival" in Rio Janeiro, in which the
wotldly amusements are so intimateiy
associated with pious rites that it is pos
sible to tell where one ' begins and the
other leave off. The authentic literal
translations oT advertisements for these
festivals read as if they were burlesques
from irreverent pens. The following for
initace, is one found in Fletcher's work
on Brazil: ' High mass tn the morning,
after which brilliant horse-racing aud fire
works in the evening " We dare say our
young friend will appreciate the "bril

Sunday Schools of Boston. They each

An exchange says gentlemett who
think it smart to show how near they can

of 60 horses and the smashing ' of 80 ve

A Sickening Tragedy.
On Friday, the 1st inst, Mrs. Sarah
Meyers, wife of Theodore Meyers, living
at Brown's Mill on Bennefs Branch,
about six miles np from Driftwood, killed
her infant son aged nine months by roast
ing and boiling him alive. . It appears
that on Friday Mrs Meyers went out to
one of her neighbors and on returning to
the house she picked np the youngest
child and put him on the hot stove, after
holding him there a moment she took
him up and pnt him into a large dish of
boiling apple sauce, crowded the babe
down iuto the dioh aud held him there,
she then turned the child over and pushed
him into the boiling- sauce again thus
boiling him on both sides The other
children scared by the screams of their
little brother, ran to the mill and told the
men at work there what their mother
was doing, and they hurried to the house
as fast as possible, but not in time to save
the life of the child. It had been liter
ally roasted and boiled alive before medi
cal aid could be obtained. It U alleged
that Mrs. Meyers is subject to fits of in
sanity, and that it was while sbo was in
one of these fits that she committed this
unnatural aud horrible deed. We have
not heard that any inquest has yet been
held or arrest made. The authorities
should investigate the affair at once.

The Coming Comet. Our most ex

Plautamoura's comet in hand and arrived
at the unanimous conclusion that even
should the nebulous body in question col
lido with 'the earth on t be 1,2th day of
next August, at 12:30 P. M., Green
which time, it would effect this solid
globe of .ours no more than an' April
shower, litis conclusion is verified by
many examples, as in 1770 a comet
rnshed wildly among the moons of the
planet Jupiter, and yet those statellitcs
were none the worses-tor the collision,
though the frequent shocks disintegrat
ed the comet. Further, it is asserted
that the war th, in its orbital track, rau
over a comet as a train of cars over an
inflated gas bag, 1861, and consideiing
that, according to M. Arago, very good
authority, there are seventeen and a half
millions of comets traversing space, it is
probable that we, iu out frequent jour
neyings around the sun, have crushed no
end ot tuem. And it .rlantamour a
