61 -THE HERALD._ CARLISLE, 'J. M. Weakley, J.' M. Wallace: .EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. VOiltDic LXXII. • No. 14. HARRISBURG LETTER. HARRISBURG, APRIL 2, 1572 List week was spent in getting ready for the end of the session, that is by rushing' through the greatest number ( of private bills possible. The Appropri ation ,bill was passed ~and sent to the conimittdo of conference. The/ Appel - tionment: bill gave considerable trouble during its coms.3r Wm. The Senate bill made several modifications on that passed by the llouse. On the first vote against the Senate bill it . i.vas lost, Sena tors McClure and Weakley voting • against the Senate bill. The , vote was' afterwards reconsidered, and the bill soot to a committee of conference. At this writing, the committeeikive nut yet reported on it. In the House the great scheme of re moving the Capital to the city of Phila delphia received its _Emil defeat, by 'a decisive vote. This ors, perhaps, the Most foolish proposition, in all respects, that has been produced in the Legisla ture for many years. It contemplated, in plain terms,, the ultimate expenditure, of at least five millions of the peoples' money, and, perhaps, ' even that sum would not be sufficient for the purposes. The amount of jobs Which could Ire 'carved out of the distribution .of this large amount of money in thv erectios of State buildings, would be idvost be yond computation. Unless Ft\ very marked reformation has been wrought within a short time, the stealings in) this transaction would be immense. Then the transfer of the government to the mettopolls of, the State would necessi tate the increase of salaries of all offi cers, and the inauguration of extrava , ganco in all respects. lint fortunately the schen* has been defeated, and the people will not he swindled on that transaction for at least another year. The great contested election ease ft om the Fourth Senatorial District was de termined on Wednesday last, by the re port of the committee admitting Col. Mc- Clure to the seat. This result lied been anticipated fur some time. The com mittee reached this result by throwing out thmvote or some seven or eight dis tricts, in which frauds awl in egularities were proved. Tuts act II /11 is contrary to the thkrine usually ad v.)etited by the Democracy in contests Inn etorme held which was averse to throwing out divi sions because of i, regulm i ties. Whether or not the action of the cotninittee was just, there is no - one otit,ide or them selves can determine, as the mass of testimony taken before them is so great as will effectually deter 'a - by...44)er per sons from investigating it. - Th. report of the committee was signed by the four Democratic Senaors ; the minority has not yet made its report: Since his 'ad mission Colonel:. McClure has'generally acted with the liepuhl tea ns. Tho Constitutional Convent Hu bill is giving its full share of ireuldel Th e House passed a bill providing for the. election of the greater part of the Con vention, in the usual or ordinary manner of voting. The Senate bill provided for the eleotion of the entire Convention in such a manner as to make hoth the poli tical parties equal. These two bills were sent to a committee of conference which made a report to the Senate on Monday evening. This provided for the election of twenty-eight nitunbers of the 'conven tion at large on the principle of limited voting'=each Toter voting for but four toMi. The remanider of the delegates are to lie elected from the different senatorial districts—each dist rict. elmos ihg three, and electing them in the ordi nary manner. This report was by a unanimoue.t.i. - ffiet the Senate referred back , with ins Qoetions to insist on minority representation. It is not in order to predict exactly in what shape the bill may pass finally, but the chances are that the convention will be elected in such a Manlier as will give. both political parties a,' equal rboresentation. Unless some very unto : nal nem - velum shall lake place to prevent it,.this Legis lature will hav , di4eiscd before this letter reaches its ,wade:'. For ninny reasons it has been a very- utisat t isfactory session. Out * account ill . the death of 'George Conitell, the Senate was in a political dead-lock at.' the time of its mooting. This -- bas emit inued nearly all the time since. The'ilisem.,c which for so many weeks prevailed "here to an - alarming extent, made invalids of more than one-half of the Legislatine, for the full half of the session. " Yet u nli all these - disadvant net, the session Will have 'acrmplishol all lhe important measuresl which were east upon it by the deniands of the people an':l has fully , done its shale of private and local legis lation. THE WAR 'CLAIMS ANI7 - 31)1IDAN ON lON sTAND Pall Report' of theit7Testimony ' Yesterday morning the Evans in vesti ghing committee held another session in one of the senate. committee\ rooms ' '1 where th ey examined a young manna intal Hopkins, a clerk in the (Mice of Yerkes • Co., %Vint tht.died that, the liminess of the house -was done' with Messrs.

Thema, they proceeded. to thOoilice of the secretary df the commonwealth, where . Colonel Francis Jordan received them. in his usual gentlemanly-manner. Alter a few friendly words . Colonel Jordan was sworn. Mr, Wallaeo led the questions : are Secretary or the Com monwealth ? -• .A..—Yes, sir. • Q„—Were you such, in 1807 was such in 1857. . Q.—Do you - know anything about the -eircumstances surrounding the passage of March, 1807 (Meaning the joint .. : resolution authorizing. the appointment • of a special war claim agent.] • 'A.—I have official knowledge of its passag, in the'erdinary routine of regN lation. Ido not.recolleet, the data nowt but I remember the resolution came be fore me in the ordinary routine of legis lation. It came from anti wris registered hy my chief clerk. It came tome in the ,routine of busittes'~ and was read by me. , • 'According to our rules, If 1 see any ob . jectioes to •a' resole itel or bill I note there and lay them before the Governor,' with those objections. When I read this resolption it occurred tOice that it was deficient in three particulars : First, It did not htate what the agent should - • do with the mormy when he collected it. Second, lt - Proyided for Mr report of the progress of the work, width I infoired would neeessarilY continue font consid , crathe length of Limo... Anti, in the third plane, there was no security provided iu the resolution for the 11iithfuf perform ance of duties . , which is ordinary with - moil trusted with put:ilk—Toney: I noted these objeptinneon a slip of paper . and laid them' before the Governor: Someti me-during-the- same day-the erten' brought - the reselutlen back into my room here, with the objections in his hand, and remarked to by) that he thought the objections were well taken, but that ho considered this a niatter of; great importancothat should be Otended o, as the session was near its close, and that ho considered he could protect the Literests of the State 'by requiring- an agreement. and: bond from Mr. - Evans •which would answer the same .purpose nearly as well as if it had been inserted , iu the resoluthin, and lib requested me to prepare a bond and agreement to carry out that idea. Q.—Which you did? - A.—Which I did. Q.—They have been, printed? A.—They were the same as already published. That agreement and that bond we.o filed in the office iu tljo ordi nary way, along -with what is called rough - draft of the commission. When a commission is made out wo keep the rough chaffs and paperS pertaining to the matter wrapped inside, and the whole endorsement is laid away. That is all I know in reference to the passage of the resolution. Q.—Were you called on in :reference to the approval or signature; of-the gov ernor? A.—l take it fur granted that I was ; but-I Luce no recolleutioir of the fact. Q.-11ave you any knAledge or re collection of any one appearing fur Mr. Evans, desiring that the same should he. , come a, law? A.—No sir ; no recollection of the sub jeCt. Q.—Did you see Mr. Evans before the passage of that resolution? A.—The first time I met him was in connection with this transaction ; but at wilat particular time I cannot recollect. When I first saw him I cannot say ; it- might have been before I•received the resolution, ()rater it had been approved. Q.-1)0 you know anything of the division of the commission retained by Ml': Evans? A.—Nothing, except what I Lave gathered from the published reports of the testimony before your-committee. • Q.-1)0 you not Icnow of any 0110 else —of an ) state racial—who was benefited d 'ldly or indirectly fnonn [hese commis sions? El . . A.-1 have no knowledge on that sub ject. Q.--Do you hnow of any other per sdns ? A.—l do not. Q.—You yourself have 'lever received anything? A.—No, sir ; I never reccivcd any, thing. r.lace—Excnse the question. - Mr. Jordan—Certainly. Q.—Can you tell us whether there is anything, in the State department con nected with the collection of the war claims of 1 ? A.—l have never seen any snch papers. Q.—Are there no communications from Washington, no meinoriatt: or letters from the government of the United Status, tn. the Treasury I/cpartruent, by which the ;•coutits between the State of. Pennsylvania and - the toiled States 11l the State War Clanits in connection with the State tax are giyen, showing their adjudication alOl sett lenient? A.-1 have no knowledge of any such papers, except such as are referred to in publications Made. In one of the Gov ernor's published lettth's something is said about papers, but my knowledge is derived entirely from the letter. Q.—ls. there no letter on tile in the de partment 'from 'Uolonel 11P.Michael re potting the settlen• wit of the direct tax" Is it stated-by Colonel M . :Michael that Ire had made a'report? . A.-1 know of none. I never looked for-tme. There possibly may be, 'hut I do not ki.ow it. Q.—Would it, not, be in your _power to have a search made? A.—lt would be, and I will endeavor to obtain it, if required. —You have no report from Mr. Evans except - what is given in the pi pers? A.-1 think not. I= Q.—TM you know George 0. Evans? do. 0.-11'hen did you first become ac mainted with him, and through what. 'tedium A.—l became acquainted with George 0: Evans in March, 1867. I cannot tell now by whom I was introduced to him, but I had letters from a number of gen tlemen residing ill Philadelphia intro ducing and recommending him as a man eminently competent fur the duties re quired of an agent under the joint reso lution then under cOnsideration in the Legislature. • Q.—Was the resolution introduced before the acquaintance began? 'A.—About the same time. Q.—Do you know who originated that resolution ? A.—l do not knoit anything farther about it than that which I learned from the lion. George Connell, then chairman of the Fiintnee CoMmittee of the Sen ate. Ile game me the MIA intimation that the Stale owed a large debt' to the United titates, and that the State of Penult).lvania lied a huge number of claims I hat should be settled in favor of the State and which should be made an offset against the claims of Alm United States. From Mr. Cotinell, as .chairman of the Mance Committee, and from other lumbers of the Senate and House of Representatives, I learned ,positively that all the vouchers of the State, with the exception of $ll2 50, had been dis allowed and suspended ; that. Micro was but little prospect, if any, of obtaining any large amount .of claims in favor of the State, as they had ahcady been dis allowed for a number of years, and that the neetAsary proof required to sustain them or cause them to he allowed, was then exceedingly dillicult to obtain , in consequence of the scattering of the Offi cers concdrued, from whom the vouche'rs 'were taken. lie thought further that it s a special agent would be appointed, riot only to act under the act of Congress of July '27, 15(11, butalso under the author ity of the Legislature, that by furnishing the necessary explanations, such as could be, obtained, a portion o' our vouchers might be allowed and credited to the-State at Washington. Q—You approved the resolution? A.—l approved the resolution after it passed. Q.—And appointed Mr. Evans, and took the bond as printed? Q.—Was there not any arrangement for the division 5f commissions arising under those claims? A.—None, directly or indirectly, to my knowledge, in the whole scope of the golferninent, from the chief executive down to the lowest of the Common wealth. r Q.—Was there any h4estment br agreement. by' which any state °Alcor received any of this money? A.—None,. to my knowledge. Q.—Was there, or wan Ulm() not, any money,' directly or indirectly, seetired for your bonck. ' whatever. , Q.—Do you know,what Mr. Evans did with his money, .to your, knowledge ? A. 7 -No, sir; not .one .dollar, not one coot, not ono ningWilerm Q>—Dia you not- moot Mi'. EVallli a West Point. A.—Yes, sir. Mr. Evans ca:ino there and told 1110 that certain persons at Washington wore endeavoring to stop the'payincut of a sum which- ho stated to be nearly $300,600, by - sonic , undue i'nterferonce. Some ono had stated I 0 the Treasurer of the United States that ho [Mr. - Evans] was' untrustworthy, and should not receive the money, wh. .o• noon I sat down and—wroto a letter to the Treasurer requesting him to issue it draft-p 4mble to my order alohe, hind to hand the dra;ft t Mi. Evans. Mr. Evans then left West 'oint, obtained the dra ft, amid when Preached New York ho entroi and handed Inc the draft at the hotel—L the Fifth Avenue hotel.' The next day I came on td Harrisburg and put the too poy in the Troaanry. Q.—Detail the oircumstanoos suriound. ing D. C; Forney at Harrisburg about that tine. - . A.—The recollection, I have. Was, ' im mediately upon my return from New York and from West Point, I vobsery d -1)..0. Forney and' Wien Yornoy aitting in the executive chamber. It en hap pened, that . I was very much engaged anththey renialned there for. a consider able, length of time. •At lot*th - they . cumin' [to hi§ofilool find said, Mr. ,Evnns owed thoM ijp,ooo each, and tisked me to -use- my-i flame° -with Mr-Evans:to_ get. him to pay the money. -- ; I told them no, - very peremptorily and - very austerely, that I had nothing whatever to do with Mr. Evays',debts ' nor the debts of u any, otherlimn in!,the State 1 was so sharp about it, that I think I gave them mortal offense. Thal. was all. Q.—Was there ' arrangerneht• by which you aided at any time in obtain ing money from Mr. Evatis for Mr. For ney. A.—No, sir. Q.—Do you know anything about pa-, porn on file in reference to the claims of 1802-8, save those printed? ' A.—No, sir ; not ono. Q.—Did you ever seo tho report of Co]. M'Mieliael? • A.—No, sir. Q.-By Mr. Graham.--Had you any knowledge of you'r• private secretary h.t that time having received 4500 tlom •Mr. Evans? A.—No, sir. Q.—When did you first obtain any knowledge that he had ? A.—The iV st I know of it was in read ing Mr. Lams testimony before the committee. In this connection I will state that I have no recollection of Mr. Dunglison having mentioned the subject of the appointment of Mr. Evans, or in any way speakineof it during the time ho remained my private secretary. I will state in addition ,that I have given you a detailed statenient of all the cir cumstancdk in connection with the war claims that I know officially ;•and as I ammow on oath, I -desire to repejtt, and I do repeat, that what I have given you is the truth: There was DO' little labor involved in the preparation of the state= mont, which you will see from the amount of statistics quoted. Q.—lly Mr. White, of Allegheny— When did Mr. Evans' make his first report to you when lie was appointed? A.—l cannot give the time, but think it was in the latter part of May. Q hl lie state to you that lie had col; iliected„somc $78,000. A.—llc gave me the exact amount of collections, find showed me a certificate Of the third auditor. , I then told him to comply simply With his agreement, Which was on file here, and make his settlements: with the accounting depart ments. Q.—By Mr. Whitt, of Allegheny— When he collected the secomt i claim' of $105,90, he also reported to y, Yu then ? A.—l was not aware of the collection at the time. It was not until 1870. Mr. White, Of Allegheny— Then in your message of 18118 yon men tioned the settle nice of this claim. You did not state that you hal collected any money" A.—No, sir. Mr. White,—The reason why I ask it is thnt 1 think that if you hadmutde that known to the Legislature they would have stopped any further collection at ten per cent. on this monev, Governor Geary.—Mr. White; I (lo not aPpear here for the purpose of entering into an argument with you on the sub ject. I pill answer any question you may ask, but I will not enter into any argument with you. - Q. by Mr. Graharri , —Ayas there any arrangement between you and Air. Evans by which he' was to be allowed ton per cent. on all the collections A.—None such, but that seemed to be the understanding at the time. Ile claimed it, and there seemed to be no dispute between him and the members of the Finance Committee. Major W. C. Armor, who signed the agreement, testified to his signature, when the committee adjourned. Connecticut ! E SEC O'D G . CT X ! I=l OF THE . STATE-GOVERNOR ,TEwELI = I=l ==!

At nine o'clock we repaired to the Bentz House, mid quietly took possession of the lower parlor, when M. C. IThrman, esq., clasts 'd2, was called to the chair and' de clared the gymposium in regular session. J. Harry Shopp. class '72, in a short, but eloquent address gave welcome to our visitors, his remarks were well timed and truly spoke the sentiments of his Chapter. He- was followed by our chronuster, W M. Bottontc, class '7B, who read to us an elegantly composed article on "Memories and Revelations since last we met." We would,..much like to repeat, sonic of the joke's that were brought forth upon the unsuspect .tog, member, hut of course over dirt we are compelled to draw the veil Of secrecy. The load and fri2quent ap plause showed the appreciation given to h isll'clll4l7lllos. M. Chaney, M. D., class '62, of Mr•yland, delivered the Anniversary Oration. Its. composition showed labor and interest, While his practical but polished remarks were well received. J. L. Shelley, ehiss '7l, gave to us the Anniversary Poem, which was—a model of beauty and elegance. Jack always had ai marvelously smooth way of saying everything, but when IM had The Fraternity fur his lubject., he e'en surpassed himself. This was an end of the literary' exercises ; and it was just the time, as occasional glimpses of the banquet had trade the boys restless and each one was eager to test_ its quality. We hereupon took, out march 'for the dining hall. 1t is absolutely im possible for us to attempt to describe ho feast that our kind hok had pro pared for us. At was grand, his bill of fare was complete cud not made merely for show, as each tempting viand when called for was, forthcoming. Much praise is due to Mr. Bentz, and by DO means would we forget the ono in charge of his culinary department:. After the banquet the following regular toasts were called and warmly re sponded to : Our Fpateruity—M. C. Herman, esq. The G. A. J. Myers, jr., The Grand Chapter—W. H.

At short intervals good old Phi Psi songs tilled the Hall, and animated each heart. We thought nit of sleeping guests, and under the good feeling of the occasion felt capable of enduring all their maledictions. But au end must come to all things and to the eating and, speaking of our Symposium there had to be an end, though its memories will live forever. We left the Bentz House at an early hour, as quietly as we went every one highly pleased with the occa sion. We will now live in the memories or Friday evening, the twenty-second ultimo, until we can look ahead and live in anticipation of the good time coming when the Zeta will hold her Fourteenth Annual Symposium.
