It is to be built of pressed brick with

been read, and in view of ell the tacle
known to you, ! conceive it met extraor
dinary
On the 23d of March, 18*7. the legisla
ture of this .late pat.ed a joinl resolution
directing the appointment of a special
agent to collect disallowed and suspended
claim* against the I'ailed State*, .etting
forth that, "Whereas, there is supposed to
be due by the United Slate* to the state of
Pennsylvania, various acceunt* tor dis
bursement* made during the rebellion, but
disallowed by the accounting officer* of
the general government; and wherea*, it
is believed that by carefully supplying de
ficient testimony, many of tha amounta
may be collected;" therefore, resolving,
that the governor be authorised to appoint
"a special agent to collect the disallowed
and suspended claim* of the state, whose
compensation for that purport shall not
exceed ten percentum of the amount*
thus collected, and shall ha paid out of
*ueh collections.''
Under this joint resolution the governor,
on the 23d of March, 18*7, appointed rue at
such special agent, and 1 at one# entered
on my duties, agreeing before hand, in a
written agreement, to pay the state of
Pennsylvania "all fooney* which 1 may be
able to collect under said authority, lees
the compensation allowed."
For more then four year* 1 labored to
secure to the state right* which she had
been unable to enfora, and the success of
my efforts is demonstrated by the boeks in
your department, which shew that the
commonwealth ha* realised out of these
"disallowed and saspandad claims against
the rutted States' more than two and a
half million* of dollar*. The exact amount
collected so far is $3,91U,4W,4A. The state
has received every cent of this lee* the
compensation of | "ten per centum of the
amount so collected.'' Respectfully yours,
GBO. O. EYAXS, Special Agent.
[Frvm tkt PkilaitipKia tiullrtxa.)
The farther we go into the expoaition of
Governor Geary's special agent's affaire,
the more difficult it becomes to tee any
clear and honest solution ot them.
■ CXOLIK* XXN-AXATIOVa.
Governor Geary haa put himself in the
position of an apologist or champion of tha
special agent; but the explanations and
•xcusaa that are being seat forth are of the
most damaging charactaf. The main de
feme put forward, and apparently en
dorsed by Governor Geary, ie that Mr.
Evans had the right to retain the whole
amount of the first three warrant*, $321,-
014.44, as commissions!
BOW TBXT DO IT.
Tit* hardest ciphering of Mr. Evans and
hit official advecates adds to the sum he
collected the direct tax settlement which
it is now admitted that he had nothing to
do with, and with this result *
What Mr. Evans collected $1,089,724 21
What he did not collect 1,880,743 90
Total s*9lo> 11
They then take ten per cent, ef this
amount and Agree that Mr. Evans shall
keep $291,046,91 as his share of the opera
tion. It is, perhaps, not worth while to
call special attention the minor fact that
Mr. Evans, in swelling up his claims,
credits himself with an itam of $112,60,
collected nearly two years before his ap
pointment by his own statement*.
111. IVANS BAKI* A PATMIXT.
But the threatened exposition ef tho af
fair appear* to have oelled Mr. Evens at
tention to the important fact that even his
enormous "commissions'' would not ac
count for the whole amount ef the three
missing warrants, and accordingly, on
July 21, 1871, he paid over to Governor
Geary, by a cheek on the Tenth National
hank of New York. $29,967,58, being tb*
difference between tha amount of his al
leged oommWsions and the three musing
warrants.
A PROFBETIC AttBVT.
But it must be borne ia miad that Mr.
Evans appropriated these three warrants'
as his commission, y tars before a large part
of the collections on which ho levies his
ten per cent, were made. Bis prophetic
eye saw what was yet te he earned, in
coming yea>s, and, to prevent any acci
dent, he paid himself ia 1867, and 1868, for
collections which his immense labors" did
not achieve until 1871. Such official clair
voyance makes Mr. Evans a moot valuable
agent.
BIS REAL CeyiOMlOK.
It is very clear that Mr. Evans has no
right to pay himself any commissions.
Had his commission been fixed by law, be
might poesibly have been able to plead
some precedents for deducting that com
mission from each warrant as it was paid in
to the state treasury. But the law does not
fix the commission. It limits a point be
yond which his allowance should not go;
but it leaves the allowance, within that
limit* to he fixed by the auditor general
and state treasurer. Had those officers
chosen to fix the extravagant rate of ten
per cent., Mr. Evans would liavo been en
titled to SM, 976,76, or ten per cent, on the
whole amount of the claims collected by
him. We have no idea, nowever, that
they would have allowed any such sum.
THE AORKEMBMT.
The following is the agreement referred
to in Mr. Evans's bond :
I, George O. Evans, of the city of Phila
delphia, having been appointed aad com
missioned by the governor of Pennsylva
nia, under joint resolution of the legisla
ture, March 22, 1867, to collect sundry
claims in said resolution mentioned, do
hereby obligate myself to forthwith pay
over to the slate treasurer of Pennsylvania
all moneys which I may be able to collect
under said authority, less the compensa
tion allowed, and to make semi-annual re
ports to said state treasurer of the amounts
collected and the sources from which
derived ; and also to make annual reports
to said governor under oath, including the
amounts collected and a statement of all
claims ascertained to be due th# state, and
from what sources; and I further agree,
before entering upon tbo duties of my ap
pointment, to give bond to the common
wealth in the suui of SIO,OOOO, with two
• sureties conditioned for the fkithful per
formance of my duties under said joint re
solution and this agreement; said bond to
be approved by the governor and filed in
the office of the secretary of the common*
wealth.
"In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my band and seal at Harrisburg, this
23d day of March, a. d. 1867.
"GEOROKO. EVAXS.
"F. JORDAN, I W;I NEGIE <•
"W. C. ARMOUR. J *
Mr. Evans' bond is distinctly based up
on this agreement, not one single provision
of which has been complied with. He has
not paid over bis collections, ' forthwith ;
he has not made semi-annual reports to
the state treasurer; and be has not n ade
annual reports to the governor. His bond
is, therefore, clearly forfeited, and it be
comes the obvious duty f the attornej
general to sue it out immediately.
Governor Geary explains why ho took
this agreement from Mr. Evans. He says
that "at the time the act was passed and the
1 appointment made he saw clearly that the
law did not provide when, how or to
whom Mr. Evahs' collections, it made
should be paid. 3o far as the act of as-,
sembly was concerned, the agent might
have retained his ten per cent, on the sums
secured, and throw tti* ballanoe into the
fotMM, r he might have devoir J the
ftinJs to hia temporary use."
ir so, WHIT
did the govornor sign the act and make
the appointment? He did not take this
agreement until the next day ; and he now
says that h saw clearly at the time that
the act was passed and the appointment
wa. made that hi* appointee could take
ten pci cent and throw the balance into
tho Potomac! And yet Governor Geary
signed the act, and commissioned the

agreement wa. iu hi* own possession. The
bond wa* filed in the .tale department,
but the agreement on which it wa* con
ditioned could not be found among ths
state record*, and, we believe, wa* not
there. It become* Governor Geary to ex
plain how it came to pa*, that he allowed
himself to real for four year* in ignorance
—if he wa* ignorant of the doing* of
.uch an important agency, lie must have
known that one of these collection, were
being made, and he certainly kucw that
these "payment* forthwith, and these ■la
id icport* were not being made.
xo RAVLT VOBXU.
We do not, for a moment, believe the
assertion that "no fault is found with Mr.
Evans' account," or that it is "practically
accepted," either by Mr. Mackey or Gou*
era! 11 art ran ft. Indeed the assertion is
contradicted by the same authority, which
admit*, that those officer* have made a
formal demand for which they
truly say i* in Mr. Evans' poea*lon Wo
understand that they also claim, as they
should, the interest on the missing war
rants; and we have no idea that these offi
cers will discuss the question of commis
sion* before the account is settld.
Tilt UOVKHIOH A UN HONS KM EXT.
Secretary Bout well's certificate give*
the impreasiou that all these warrant*
were drawn to Governor Geary * order,
and by him endorsed, lrl, to "George O.
Kvan*. special agent of Governor Geary,
next, to "Uoorge 6 Kvan*. attorney in
fact," and, lastly, to "R. W. Mackey,
state treasurer." The governor, however,
slate* that he never eudorwd any of the
warrants except the l*sl one, which was
paid into the treasury by him. This is
explained on the theory that the United
SUtee government recogiitxed Mr Kvans'
commission as a power of attorney, au
thorising him to endorse the warrant*.
This Is probably true; but why were not
the endorsements all alike? Why were
they firt made by the "special agent, "
then by the "attorney in fact," and at la*t
by Governor Geary himself? Thete muit
have been a reason for thi*. and the public
ought to have it.
AS*Kt> to nsaiox.
Joe. M. MClure, esq., deputy Attorney
general, to whom alone is due the credit of
the discovery of this whole affair, ha* been
urged by the attorney general, at the in
stance of Governor Geary, to hand in hi*
resignation. But 31 v. M'Ulure ha* posi
tively refused to reeign, feeling that he has
only done hi* duty in giving to the people
the knowledge of theea gross frauds.
Grant * Uespotle Nature.
What does Geu. Grant meau by his (
??nistcnt persecution of the South *
he right of self-government belongs
to those people, ai it doe* to all who
live under republican institutions, and
no man of them can be judged by a |
law in the making of which he ha#
had no voice. It is a natural right,
for nature has been herself to give the
powers of protection and preservatoin
to every man to whom she has given
being. It is a divine right, for God
himself presumes our responsibility to
govern ourselves, and the right of self
government is the foundation of all
moral responsibility, both belt and
hereafter. The inquiry has been sug
gested by the report of a conversation
that was bad in the "cottage by the
sea," in reference to North Carolina,
just before the recent election. Grant
was asked, "What would you have
doue if North Carolina had not satis
fied Republican anticipation!" And
the answer was worthy of the despot
that he is : I haw the potcer under tke
Ku-Klux bill to have wuule her."
Let him hold in remembrance that
every despotism that attempts to de
strov the forms of government, the
spirit of liberty, and the institu
tions of a civilited people, must pre
pare to destroy the people at the same
time. As despotism can have no
guarantee and safety in the mutilation,
only extermination can consummate
the work.
Scotland understood it. When the
Duke of Argvle went to sec Queen
Elisabeth, said she: ou have mur
dered my provuet marshal in Edin
burgh." "MV it please your Majes
ty he was killed." "You have killed
my provost marshal iu Glasgow," said
■he. "No," said the Duke; "he only
cannot be found.' ou have killed
two more of ray provost mar
shals in the Highlands," said the
Queen, with the terrible blasphemy
that characteriied her bitter conversa
tion, "and I shall send my troops down
to Scotland to make a hunting ground
of your couutry." "May it please
your Majesty," replied the Duke, "iust
be kind enough to let us kuow when
you send them down, and we will have
our hounds ready." Scotland by this
determination was saved from the ty
ranny that crushed out Irclaud.
It it manly in Gen. Grant to paly
the despot over an oppressed and down
trodden people ? These Southern peo
ple have their constitutional rights,
even if they have been rebellious. He
would not dare threaten such interfer
ence in the case of the State of New
York, and why should he do it in the
case of North Carolina, now supposed
to be restored to all the constitutional
rights belonging to all the States t
But the fact ts, Grant cannot divest
himself of the idea that the country is
to be ruled by military despotism.
When Gen. Hancock, in command of
the Fifth Military District, issued his
famous order No. 40—in which he told
the people of that district: "The
right of trial by jury, the habeat cor
pus, the liberty of the press, the free
dom of speech, the natural rights of
persons, and the rights of property
must be preserved. Free institutions,
while they are eeeential to the happi
ness and proeperity of a people, al
ways furnish the strongest induce
ments to peace and order" —by the
friends of constitutional liberty this
order was bailed as a voice of resur
rection. But from the day that Han
cock issued that order Graut com
menced a system of petty persecution
against this, oue of the noblest and
roost magnanimous soldiers of the war,
revoking his orders, degrading bim
from bis official rank, and plat-tog him
in subordination to juniors in com
mission, which has not yet ceased.
Grant cannot be anything but despotic
—it is deeply graven in his nature ;
and his gross ignorance of the spirit
aud form of our entire system of gov
ernment leads him into countless stu
pid hluuders. —N, V. Aww, Radical.
Senator Sumner hat declined the g Id
medal tendered hire by the people of Hay
ti. If the Haytians wish to gut rid of the
medal they might offer it to President
Grant, who has no constitutional scruples
against the taking of presents, especially
when the expressage is prepaid.

Mr. Dieflcubach, in the Bloouuburg

The IViuisyhaiilit War Claim#
The revelations made by the Phila
delphia liullrtm of Monday #av# the
1 Morning Patriot, put into delimit* nml
comprehensible form the rumor- which
r have floated übout in |Hlitiral circle*
for more than a month past. It is
needless to state that the ox|Miure*
. have produced a prof mud sensation
| throughout this community, and have
seriously compromised the State ad-
I ministration. The follow ing statement
. of fact# i* necessary to no understand-
L , iug of the case so lar as it hua yet been
disclosed. Under a joint resolution of
I the legislature {' Pennsylvania, np
, proved March 22, IBti7, Governor
I Geary appointed George O Kvans, of
, Philadelphia, ai-qxicial agent to collect
, the "disallowed and nUiqiciided claims"
Jlof this Stale aguiust the United States
Tho agent's compensation wu not to
• exceed tell per cent, on the amount#
, collected. The claims collected hy
Mr. E van* from the date of his up
, pointmenl to thi# time amount to $2,-
b 308,201,61. Of this sum three gavcru
„ tueiilwarrant#,amountinglos.!2l,ol 4,-
~44, have never been paid into the
l'treasury of the State of Pennsylvania,
f One of l lie warrants, dated May 1, lHt>7
1 for $78,51<i,89, drawn in favor of
' Governor Geary, was paid to G. O.
r Kvans ou the fust of May of the same
year, within less than u mouth yf the
. up|K>iuimenl of the agent. More than
. four years have elapsed, aud the tie*-
k *ury has no account of the mouey.
J The second unpaid warrant is for
I f 105,651 ,47, i*dated October 28, 1868,
, and is drawn iu favor of Governor
. Geary. The third, dntcd August 27,
1870, t* for 1137,846,09. Of these
! sums there i* no account iu the Slate
Treasury. Dr. Kvans instead of pay
ing over the money has been using it
for his own purposes. Whether oth
er* have been connected with him in,
this job will he fully determined iu the
future. Iu withholding this uinney,
, lie ha# proved himself a faithless, cor-,
rupt aad dishonest agent, and should'
be prosecuted criminally without a
moment's delay; and all who are as 1
sociated with him iu the job should he!
cxjioscd and punished. Within less*
, than a mouth of his appointment he
received the sum of $78,510,81), and
appropriated il to hi* uwu u#o and to
that of his official and unofficial ac
complices.
It tuav possibly he alleged in behalf
of Mr. Evans that he is entitled to a:
per ceotage of $230,820,10, on the
.claims collet-led from the federal gov-,
eminent. Yet this does not cover thej
amount which he ha# dishonestly ap
propriated. By his conduct he has
foi feited all claim to pay for his ser
vices, aud the accounting officer* of
the StaU- government will he held re
siKiiuiblo for every dollar which they
shall allow him. He ha* dishouetly
used the tuouey, aud ha# audited hi#
own accouuts. The best thing he cau ;
do is to pav over the amount of the
warrant# with iutere*t, and eran then
he should not be permitted to escape a
crimiua l prosecution.
On behalf of Mr. Kvans it is asserted
that he ha# made frequent efforts to
settle his account# with the auditing
department of the State government.
This is most pretty and dishonest plea.
lie had no account* to retfle. His plain
duty wa# to have iwid over promptly
lite money which he was to
receive, and make hi# proper applica
tion for allowance for services, Mr.
Kvans gave a bond in ten thousand
dollars and appropriated a quarter of
a million
The bond of Mr. Kvans which we
" copied from the ISulletin yesterday
morning is a remarkable document.
Its condition is that he shall faithfully
perform his official duties uuder the
joint resolution of the legislature, and
"under au agreement entered into bv
"him the 23d day of March. 1887
Where is that agm-inent. and what is
it# nature? Who were the contract
, iug parties ? Wa# this ail agreement
to divide the plunder between the
con#piratort ? That article, if produ
ced will go far toward# elucidating
the nature of this transaction, and will
. show who were the conspirators, as
; well a# the several shares of their boo
■ t - v "
This was a burglarious scheme from
the beginning, in which the federal
I and Stale treasuries were alike to he
- plundered. The first step was the |as
sage of the resolution, and the second
was the appointment of Mr. George
■ O. Evans for chief cracksman. It will
; be the duty of Congress to inaugurate
. a thorough investigation of this job.
• Pennsylvania need* 110 corrupt agent
a* tkia Evan# lias proved himself co
, slime his way along the corridor* of
: tho treasury at Washington to presr
! the payment of fraudulent claim*
t against the federal government that he
r and his co-conspirators might nluuder
their tcu |er cents. If it shall turn
out that some of these claims have
r been dishonestly allowed, the Btate
should make complete restitution. The
j prida of the people of the Commen
wealth will not permit them to retain
1 moncv which ho# been corruptly ob
; laincd from the federal treasury. The
revelations thus fnr made show that
. this man Kvans if fully capable of lob
-1 bring through the departments any
i dishonest claim in order to get his pcr
. joentagos. Ten |er cent, was too great
1 a temptation for him and his eonfed
f crates. The alacrity with which these
- large sums have been paid to the
p State while honest and just demands
I have been withheld, brings into strong
-i suspicion the processes employed hy
-[the special agent.
r Wc have commented freely on the
i' facts that have thus far been presen
t ted. Further revelations are promis
ed, and will no doubt lie made. It i#
II now noceessnry that the public -dipuld
i> know who arc associated with Mr.
t Kvans in this job. He has not been
- permitted to carry off more than his
shure of the swag. It was not in the
reckoning thathe should get away with
- percentages to the amount ot three
- hundred thousand dollars for his tar
e vices. IV® patiently await further
A! devclopoptents.

1 ( arl •Schurx on lh<* Situation.
We presume the German press will
. furnish a correct rejHirt of the gieat
" speech oi Senator Schurx, at Chicago.
It was intended as the opening ball of;
" the campaign, ami will attract alien-[
, tiun aud discussion everywhere. His
' view* in relation to Grunt ought to Ire 1
' j remembered. He said :
I'resideul (irant lias placed his
> cousin* ami brothers-in-law hy the'
dozen at the public crib, ami the whole
.chorus of flatterer# exclaim: "A tri
fle! who will fiud fault with him for
'-Vt?" H who two la (be indecency of
•tch act*, and exjiientc* ids faeliogs, is
Auply denounced as a traitor, whose
I*art mul be foil of black designs.
;G ho! these are uo trifles! The cow
•hi# and brotht-rs-in-law of the Presi
dent may be officers worse than other*,
but wheu he puts them to the public
crib, tile Chief of State teaches ki
subordinates hy his example, which is
everywhere vi*ible, that iu his opinion
a public office may be u*d for the sel
fish end to make out of it what can be
made, and who will wonder when those
subordinate* also make out of their
-office* all that eau he made? Wheu
Chief of State Lakes presents aud
I then put# the douor# iu high offices
and dignities, those men so appointed
may be very worthy, and the present
may have had nothing to do with the
appointment*; but the Chief of ~tate*
ha# shown hi# subordinates that in his
j opinion an officer may take present#
aud then grant his favors lolhedouors
in au official way, aud will then won
der wheu the subordinates, following
the nigh example, also take presents
and give their official favors to the'
doner*.
Views of Napoleon—The Prince 1
Imperial to VLit the Tufted States
New York, August 15. —A gentle
man ju*t returned from Europe, where
he ha* been iu intimate social rela- '
lion* with the French Imperial fami
ly, informs an interviewer of a mor
ning {taper that Napulaon believes in
{hi* eraly restoration, that the Thiers'
government i# a mere make shift, aud
that hi# death at this time would lie
followed by another civil war. Gam
bcttn i* looked upon a# an ambitious,
intriguing, able man. Bazaine waits
for history to justify him. I>c Bouff
i# a "wretched creature."
The Empress il well, and intend* to
send the Prince luinerial on a tour
through the Unil"d States when he #
a little older.
The ImperieL family receive the at
tention of the Royal and nobility of
- England.
Time are now two parties iu France,
' the Imperialists and Rod Republican*
! The Bourtioii* are no where.
' The Kur<q>ean Diplomatists abroad
favor his return, believing that the
restoration of Napoleon would keep in'
subjection the disorderly elements of
1 the French, which now coiistaatly
I menace Europe.
It is also dated that England is
■ threatened with serious revolutionary
''troubles, and it was believed that a
conciliation by the Governtueut would
' fail to satisfy the demands of the peo

1 The volcano of Ruwang broke oat, af
' ter a long interval of inactivity. It
was prccedwl bv a terrible earthquake,
' whicn unroofed the dwellings aud rent,
! their walls asunder. The eruption was
' of the most fearful charactor. Sereral
" craters o|>cuel around the side of the
'• volcano, and continued their action at
' the same time, the rapidity of the ex
' plosion causing a tremendous roar,
! which was heard all over the neigh
' borjng islands The outbreak was
accompanied by a concussion of the
sea. A wave forty yard# in height ia
-1 sued with lightning speed, and swept
all the human l>cincs, houses, cattle
' and horses from the surface of the
island. From every crater proceeded
• flashes of electric lightning and vol
• utucs of smoke. Red-hot-stones, dis
ru pled fragments of rock aud currents
of mud were thrown with immense
' force high into the air, and the earth
' was rent open ail around the volcano.|

A Chinese Opium Den.
| From tin-San Francisco Chronicle,]
It is rented hy the proprietor to a
Chinaman named Ah Fook for SSOO
'i per mouth, who again sublets various,
y part#. We cnLerwl several of the
• apartments nml a stranger sight can
; not be inuiginvd. The first we visited
I was about ten feet in height, sixteen
'' feet in length and twelve feet iu
] breadth; the only light or ventilation
a of any kiud was hy the door, and it
was so dark that n caudle had to he
lighted to enable us to inspect it.
This was a lodging house, Heaven
save the mark ! and kept hy a man
named Ah Wa, who for ten cents n
night nrcomiinnlAle# his couutry
" men with i>"'ging; and in his pluce
|[ every night nineteen meu sleep. The
.• beds, if they may ho so termed, are
II nothing but a aeries of shelve* with a
• straw mat on each, and here, night
after nighl, lh'§u JHair wretches pass
away their time smoking opium and
sleeping of it# )>crniciu* effects, as the
t proprietor, fin live cents extra, sup
! plies this drug, the smoking of which
occupies tho tdiief pin t of the time of|
a |tlie inhabitant# of MoKvoy's building,
when tmt engaged iu their usual occu :
I pa ti< in of stealing, for Mr. Woodruff
iufonued me that there was put ope
man who frequented that place who
wa* not a thiofi We watched the

I'MKl'AltlMU AND SMOKINO
a pipe of opium. The smoker ha*
brought to him a tray on which is a
- light, a pi|*, and a small piece of wire,
' attd a jar of pure opium; the wire is
dipped into the opium, then applied to
the caudle and cooked until (terfuine
arising therefrom suits the smoker's
idea*. It 1* then carefully kneaded
on the surfac-e of the pi|c, the top of
the bowl being covered, with the ex
ception of n hole in the centre and
when the correct consistency i gained
' hy a delicate manipulation with the
' wire, the opium i* worked up into a
hall uhoul tho sice of a |wa, and iu
' *erted through the hole in the lid of
' the pipe, the smoker then recline*, and
' placing the bowl of the pipe against
' the caudle, draw* away at the stem for
a second - the pipe is,empty and the
lierformauce repeated until tho sno
:er liecoiuei stupified, and falls beck
' in a doae to revel in the sensation*aris
-1 iug froin his narcotic. Its effect* are
.described as being ofa mostexhilarat
(ing kind, ami if only inhaled iu small
quantities, it animate* the spirits, and
'!gives energy to the intellectual powers,
and is then followed hy a state of
quiet, pleasant languor until sleep suo
joneds; hut it is only by increasing the
dues that these effect* are reproduced.
The soporific effects are then of longer
duration and the syintoms of debility
arc greater, gradually hut surely lead
