The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer
Dreaded, but Economy, Efficiency, and
Clean Clothing, Sure.
In calling public attention to thin little machine,
a low of the invaluable qualities, (not pommeled by
any other washing machlno yet invented,) aro here
enumerated.
It is the steeliest, most compact, most portable,
most simple la .construction, moat easily operated.
A. child ten yours old, with a few hours' practice,
car. thoroughly comprehend and effectually use it.
There Is no adjusting, no screws to - annoy, no delay
in adapting I -It is alwaya ready for tiso I It Is a
perfect little wonder I It lee mitilaturo giant, doing
more work and of a better quality, than the most
elaborate and costly. One-half et tie labor to fully
savod by Its use, and Um clothe, will loot one-half
longer than by the old *lnn of the rub board. It
will wash the largest blanket Three shirts at a
time, washing thoroughly! In a worktho ablution
of any fabric, from a Quilt to a Late Curtain or
Cambric Handkerchief, ere equally within the ca
pacity of Me LITTLE GEM I It con bo fistenod to
any tab and taken off at will.
No matter how doop rooted a prejudice may exist
against Washing Machines, the moment this little
machine Is soon to perform its wonders,-alLtioubts
of its el/mussing efficacy and utility are,banislied, and
tiro doubter and detractor at once.hocumo tiro fast
friends of the machino.
We base testimonials withont and, Rotting forth
Its numerous advantagee over all °there, and from
hundred. who barn thrown aside Hip unwieldy, tree
less machines, which have signally alled to abeam-,
plish the object promised ice prominent and loud
sounding advertieementv.
It is as perfect for washing non wringer Is for
wringing. The price, another paramount induce
ment to purchasom, has been placed so low that It is
within the reach of ovary housekeeper, and thore Is
no article of domestic economy that will repay the
small Investment su aeon. -

HARRIBBURG, 'Sept. 4, 1871.
During the past two weeks a groat
deal has been said in the public. press
with regard to the collection of the war
claims of Pennsylvania upon the General
Government. The statements thus made
arein conflict-with—each7other, and -at
variance more or less with the facts of
the case. As the matter h&s been pre
sented, it is :Calculated to islead the
public judgMent as to the honesty and
fidelity of the State Administration. It
is equally due, therefore, to the authori
ties and the people of the Coinmonwealtio
that the whole truth respecting the grave
matter in question should be made
known. The unkind, and bitter discus
-sions-inthe-mewspaperS:bavo been ob
served by many of our best citizens of all
parties:with,surpriso and regret. As a
Republican friend of Governor Geary,
and a lover of justice and fair dealing, I
have carefully 'examined this whole sub
ject, and deem it prdper to correct the
various misrepresentations that have
been made to the public, bi giving the
true history and the real facts of the
whole transaction, substantiated by docu
ments obtained from official sources, and
I ask that the truth may now be as ex
tensively circulated as the errors it is in
tended to correct have been.
1. The General Government had claims
against the State for $606,000, advanced
September 19, 1861, to. aid the State in
the equipment of troops, and $l, 304, 711.-
43, the State's quota of a direct taxlevied
on the several States for war purposes by
act of Congress.
'2. As an offset to' the United States
. claims, the State had vast numbers of
small vouchers for expenditures for the
transportation, subsistence and equip_
ment of troops, and other expenses in
cidental thereto, amounting in the aggre
gate to $2,118,419.83. • ,
3. To collect these claims of the State
against the General Government, and
to adjust and Bottle the accounts respec
tively, , Colonel Mottop jr.,
was appointed agent of the State by Gov
ernor Curtin, D . C . Comber, 24, 1861.
4. During the ttin of Colonel M'Mi
cbml's agency 1 e tiled State claims
against the Government in the proper
departments at Washington, as follows :
March 1, 1862, Ist. install
moot- .' $1,182,997 22
March 11, 1862, 2(1 install
ment " 854,337 20
February 20, 1863, 3d in
stallment 81,084 91
Total -$2,118,119 33
Of this sum he succeeded in obtaining
the allowance of only $112.50.
At the expiration,of the agent's term
of office, tho balance of the State's ac
cotmt, amounting to $2,118,306.83 was
suspended and disallowed. This was
mainly for the reason that ho had failed
to prodoce such satisfactory ovidcndo as
in the ji4dgment of the federal . account
ing officers was necessary to establish
the validity of the vouchers.
From the time when his agono
ceased, until the spring of 18Q7. no fur
ther efforts appeared to have been made
to settlo tho vouchers of the State, some
of which had been filed upwards of five
years. Late in the session of thp
oral Assembly of that year, the follow
ing preamble and joint resolution were
introduced and unanimously passed
through both Houses :
WnEREAS, There is supposed to be
due by the United States to•tho State,pf
Pennsylvania various amounts, for• dis'-
bursements made during the rebellion,
but disallowed by the accounting officers
of the G choral Ziovernment
And whereas, It is believed that by
carefully supplying deficient testimony,
many of the amounts may be collected ;
thaeforo, be it
Resolved 'by the Senate and House of
Representatives of.lho Commsnwealth of
Pendsylvaniajn General Assembly net,
That the Governor lo and Is hereby au
thorized to appoint a *Mal agent to
collect the 'disallowed and suspended
claims of the State against the Unitoa
States, whose compensation for that pur
pose shall not exceed ton per cent= of
the amount thus collected, and shall be
paid outof such collections.

G. lir..,George 0. Evans, formerly 'of
the firm of Evans & Hansall, .Philadel
phia, having been strongly roam:mended
by influential business Ten of that city,
and 1.)3/ members of the General Assembly,
was appointed agent by Governor Geary,
in accordance with the foregoing: resolu
tion. , .
7. After the Govornor had signed the .
resolution, and appineed. the agent,
upon ro-examination ho perceived . that
the resolution had not boon mado
suffi
ciently binding,upon,tho agent ; 'that it
'did not designate to whom the monbys,
if any wore collected, should lio r paid,
,nor when, nor require tho agclt to give
!bond for the faithful Performances of his
duty ; and so to supply its deficiencies,
Lofore ism/kg 0 theigent hie oommasimi,
the Governor required - him to sign the
following agreement :
"I, George 0. Evans, of the 'city of
Philadelphia, having boon appointed
and commissioned by the Governor of
Pennsylvania, - under Joint resolution of
the Legislature, March 22, 1807, to collect
sundry claims in , said resolution mop,
Honed, —do hereby obligate myself to
forthwith,pay over tb the state Trnsi
nrer of Pennsylvania All -moneys which
I may bo,able to colloat ' under said au
thority, loss the, componsation . allowed,
and'to make semi-annual, eports 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 duo the
State, - and from what sources ; and I
further agree, before entering upon the
duties of my appointment, to give bond
to the Commonwealth in the sum of $lO,-
000, with two sureties conditioned for
the faithful, erformances of my duties
under said joint resolution and this
agreement ; said bond' to-be appyeved by
the Governor and flied in the office of
the Secretary of the Commonwealth;
In testimony whereof I have hereunto
sot my hand_and,seal at flarrishurg, this.
22 day of March, A. D. 18672
F. JORDAN,
} witness.. W. C. Amon,
GEORGE 0. EVANIi."
And now in regard to the resolution
authorizing tho appointment of au agent,
and the agreement under which ho was
to perform his duty, a few words of ex
planation will ho proper in this place.
The resolution was not finally aotod
upon till a late period of the session.
The impression of the members was,
perhaps, without exception, that, but
little wenn' bo realized. Col. 1 1 1I'Michiel's
attempt to collect the .claims Illed,_
during the administration of Gov.. Curtin,
had signally faired. The difficulties that
would impede the task of collectiOn of
old add rejected claims were knovin to
he many and great. These circumstances
mainly account for the manifestly loose
and ungual'iled character to• the resolu
tion.
Tho same circumstances, in a measure,
influenced the character of 'the 'agree
ment. The Governor shared with the
General Assembly the impressßm that
but little money would be collected.
Thts fact accounts for the smallness of the
sum. in which the agent was required to
give bond. He presumed that the agent
would, at no stage of his proceedings,
have any largo sums of mbney in hand,
and consequently felt that in requiring
an annual report to himself, and a. semi
annual inport, to the State Treasurer, to
gether with a bond in the sum of ten
thousand dollars, the interest of the
Commonwealth would be adequately
protected. Evidently the thoughts up
permost- in the mind. of, the Legislature
and of the Executive were that the agent
would collect but-little, if anything, and
those failure of the attempt should be
at his own risk, and not at the cost of
the State.
As has been preiiiously stated in...this
article, Colonel WMichael, iii the years
1802 and 1803, flied claircis of the State
in the Federal Treasury Department,
amounting to $2,118,410.33. Either ho
or some other party represented to Gov
ernor Curtin that the greater part of
this sum had bean allowed by the Fed
eral accoiinting authitirities, and placed
to the credit of the State in liquidation,
of the quota of direct tax duo from the
State to the General Government. Hence
the following statement in the annual
message of Governor Curtin of January
7, 1862 :
"This," says the message (the $1,040,-
719.33 dirOct tax duo from the State to
the United States), "was paid partly by
the, relinquishment of a portion of the
sums claimed by the State froth the
Government." Tho portion of- the
State's .claims represented to Governor
Curtin as having been allowed, anprp
plied to the extinguishment of 90-State's
quota of direct tax, amounted to $l,-
304,711.41. It is painful fo be obliged
to say that tho represeMation was
founded 'on a misapprehension of the
facts, as will bo seen from the following
certificates :

claims for extraordinary expenses in
curred by the State during the war.
"In consequence •f the lapse of tied
since the remaining claims were con
tracted, the want of sufficient vouchers
and explanations, and the difficulty of
finding the parties, some of 'them being
.'dead, by whom they should be made;
iTendcr their settlemdnt difficult, and, in
many instances, doubtful, the accom
plishment of which will, however, be,
vigorously pursued, and the results laid
before the Legislature."
• After the first one, no further report
of a formal - character was made to the
Governor, nor any, it is believed, to
either of the accounting officers of the
State, until that which was prose!' tedby
the agent to the Governor on July 21,
of tho present year, and to those okors
a few days afterward.- And why, (rival
,zturally Le asl,ett, Otis failure to report?
The following facts, supply the answer
to this question. During the years 1868
'69 and '7O, the agent had conversations
with the Governor several times respobt
ing the claims of the' State. In those
interviews ho stated the difficulties in
the way of establishing the validity of
the still unsettled portion of the claims
that had been filed by Col. lll'Michrel,
that he was doing his utmost 'to obtain
the needed additional proofs, and hoped,
with time and patience.to succeed. And
when in 1870 he had flied several install
ments of new claims, amounting in all
to sl,osB,7oB.B6—previous conversations'
on the general subject \Vora; in substance,'.
repeated, relating to the difficulties (Si,
perionced in obtaining satisfactory cer
tificates, the necessity of time and earn=
est effort ; and as a special reason for
not reporting in any public manner .tO
the Executive, and for his refraining
from !Lily public Official :allusion to the
subject, the agent alleged the following
foots : , • .
All the loyal ptatesi he said, had
chains:against the General 'Government.
Tho pressure in consequence upon the
Federal accounting officers was very
great. ,
; view of theSe facts they had
requested him to give no further- guy-,
licity to his success, as it would • only
tend to increase the pres Sure from the
other States for the adjustment and pay
ment of their ! accountS ; 'and !that , the
final - settleniont of tha clalme of 'Penn
sylvaniaytould thne be e!mbarransed and
delayed. All t t hie seemed .both reason
able and true ; aid the Governor, at that
time, having had no cause to dotibt the
:voracity, di to question the fidelity of.
tho aiont, accopted as satisfactory
roprosontations. . .
14. The agent failed •to perform his
agreeMentin not paying ove74'44forth
with": t the State Treasurer all the
moneys ho collected. May 2, 1867, he
received $78,010.89. Octo,hor27, 1808, ho
receivedllos,osl.46. August 26, 1870,
ho received $1130,846.09. The Federal
accounting officers, regarding the agent's
commission as a power of attorney, ac
cepted his endorsement of drafts for ,
moneys allowed to the State in their
settlement with him.
The three foregoing sums the agent
retained as 'payment of the percentagehe claimed ; and concealed the fact from
Qovernor Gearyand the accounting offi
cers of the -State..
How could ho have done so,The reader,
will inquire, And that for so long a period
The circumstances which suggest, a
satisfactory answer will 'readily appear
upon reflection and rc-examination of
the case. The agent, prior to his ap-.
pointment, had filled important positions :
in the business community, and . had al-,
mays been regarded as a gentleman of
integrity. his application for the agency
was supported by a thoroughly corn y
potent endorsement. ilis superior qualifi
cations for the business, which the_Sra_te_
had-reposed - in hiSTiands, had been mani
fested in the success of his - efforts in this.
business. The verbal reports of his pro
ceedings from time to timo bad been
suckas wer_e_calcolared_ to,_ inspire con
fidence. Is it a matter of surprise, there
fore, that under these circumstances the
State authorities , were deceived? In
many similar eases have the wisest and
best of men been deCeived by reasons far
loss forcible and convincing.
Goveruoi
15. Much ado has been made 'about
the endorsement of the drafts for the
moneys allowed to the State. It was
first asserted that Govern& Geary—lutil
endorsed them all, and must, therefore,
have kniiwn that the agent had in his
_possession the threif for which he had
tailed to give any account. This, how
everovas soon found to ho incorrect.
The real truth is that the Governor
never saw nor signed any of the drafts
except the one fo,i 298,758.08, dated
June 23;1871. This was received by the
agent at - Washington June 23, placed in
the hands of the Governer, in the city
of New York, the twenty-sixth of the
same month, and was deposited by him
in the State Treasury on Monday, the
29.
10. As soon as any reliable rumors
reached the car of kArvernor Geary that
the agent haft,exceeded the .hounds .of
his authority, and probably to the pre
judice of the interests of the State, he
addressed the Attorney Gene' aliirewster
the following communication :
• EXECUTIVE CITAMBER,
Hennisnuno, August 10, 1j371.
Hon: P. carrol' Bre lostel , , Attoi•ney (en

MY DEAR Sin—The a‘c‘e -- o.unts_of 'Geo.
0. Evans, esq., the special agent far the
settlement of the war claims of Thnin
sylvania against the United States, aro
reported to be in an unsatisfactory con
dition ; and as it is "indispensably neces'•
sary that the whole matter should be in
vestigated, I therefore calhupon yon, as
the legal officer of the. State, to give it
your earliest and- most earnest attention.
___(Signed) W. GEARY.
The Attorney General has instituted
the necessary legal proceedings, bath
civil and criminal, and the courts in
which they are to be tried will require
the :149.tit to give bail in a sum sufficient
to cover the claims of the State, and deal
impartial justice to all parties concerned.
No one is surprised thatiu a matter of
this kind the Do:nom:die newspapers
should endeavor to implicate all the
branches of the State administration,
.but the course of certain so-called Re
publican journals, that have labored t o
screen all other officials and lay the
whole burffiffi of blame upon the Gov
ernor, throwing out against him the
basest insinuations, is to :all honorable
men an occasion of surprise, indignation
and regret.
This letter is already too long, but I
eanirot close without inviting special
attention to the following facts and eht
eumstances as herein disclosed :
$2,910,409 11
1. That the repiirts, agreement and
bond exacted of the agent, though not
required by the law, were evidently in
tended to supply manifest defects in the
joint resolution, and thereby protect the
interdsts of the State.
2. The only question in dispute, so far
as the State treasury is concerned, is
whether the agent shall receive ten per
cent for his comßensation, the maxi
mum authorized by} the joint resolution.
3. Is not the reference in the annual
Messagc of 18113 prooforcandid and hon
est action and intentions? And is not
the. SubsvPont, silence satisfactoril , y ex

4. Was not Evans " the agent of Oov
ernor Cleary" under the act of Col : Tress
authorizing hiS appointment? And if
so, wlioro is the criminality in that fact
or in calling him such?
5. it he Governor never saw or handled
any of tho•monoy or drafts, eiccept one;
and that ono ho paid in full into the
State treasury the second clay afteer he
received it.
6.. It is cigar from the official certifi
cates, all newspaper allegations to the
contrary notwithstanding., that Evans
settled and collebted $1,989,227.32 of The
claims filed by M'Michael, after they
had been suspended and disallowed for
nearly five years.
7. Is it not apparent that much of tho
clamor on this subject has its animus in
sonic; other considerations than:the
financial interests of the 'Shit() or tho
public good? A willi4iess or unwill,
ingness to publish those , facts will go far
to enlighten public opinion on this im

AN ORIGINA - L OBIITARY.NO TICE
The editm'of the Colorado Herald had
occasion to leave town for three or four
days, ana he dernmitted liis paper dur-,
ing his absence to the charge of a young
i
man, a novice n jduthalism;. whom ho
had just engaged as - assistant. pcforo
leaving ho instructed the ambitions
young editor hot to permit any chance
to go unimproved to force the paper and
its vory small subscription price upon
the attention of the public.
Always..kcep before your mind tho
fact that the'objec6 df this paper is to
extend its circulation," ho said, "and
whenm'er you see a chance to insert a
puff of the _Herald in any notice you may
make, pile in as thick as you can. Keep
the people stirred-nyi-all-the-- time, you
understand, see tln they will believe;
that our paper is the - greatest sheet in
the United States."
The parting tear' was' shed, 'and the
editor left. The following night, }while
he was far away froin borne, his wife died
very suddenly. Upon the 'asSistant_do-.
volved the unpleasantduty of announc
ing the sad intelligence' to the pdblic.
Lie did it as - follows : '
4 -GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.'
" Wo arc compelled, this morning, to
perform a duty which is
fnl to - dgi - fibTetant editor, who has
been engaged this paper lA, an enor
mous expense, in accordance with our de
terfeination to make' the Herald a- first
class journal. Last night, delitli suddenly
and unexpectedly snatched away from
domestielearth (the hest aro -adver-,_
tised under the head orßloves and Par
nacos, upon our first page) Mrs. Agatha
-Burns, wife of Rufus I'. Burns, the gen
tlemanly editor of the Herald. Terms,
three'dollars' a year, invariably in ad
vance: A. kind mother, and an exem
plary wife. Office over Coleman's grocery,
up two night stairs. Knock hard. 'Wo
shall miss thee, mother, we shall miss
thee' Job printing solicited. Funeral
at half-past four, from the house just
across the street from tho Herald office.
Gone to be an angel now. Advertise
ments inserted for ten cents a square."
Well, the editor arrived at home that
day, at noon. r Slowly and sadly he was
observed to arm himself with a double
barreled fowling-piece, into which he
inserted two pounds and a half of
bullets, lie marched over to the aloe'',
followed by an immense crowd. The
assistant editor was busy at tho time,
painting a big placard to he tacked on
the hearse. It bore the legend : "-Buy
your coffins of Simms, over the Herak/
office." The assistant editor cast his
eye around, and perceived -his chief. -
Tare'was sot upon that wan cheek, and
thunder clothed Iris brow. HO -leveled
his gun. The assistant- did not wait,
With ono wild and awful yell, ho jumped
--from the second story, and struck out
for the..golden shores of the Pacific. It
is believed that he eventually swam over
to China. But there is °lily -one editor
now, and Alid cleric in the office has
standing orders to blow out the brains
of any man who brings an obituary no
