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 ,

those aims, who at all times paid the

The committee then proceeded to the
executive chamber, lint owing to the
illness of his child, his.excellency had
' 'not yet,reached his °Mee. 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,

THE rEA•NA. ZETA
One year ago we all thought that
there nev,r hail been, .mid that' there'
never would a g ain he such a joyous
bairt of Phi I'si's_ collected together, as
then made Oil "Mansion House", 'to,
sound with fraternal, songs and happy
speochell - i7 • But as the welcome miniver
sary,day once- more came round the
" old boys" camp wail it, and the Zeta
chapter .of Penna. has lost none of its
merited renown for Grand Symposiums,
At eight o'clock, about forty-flve mem
bers assembled in the Chapter Hall,
where an hour was passed in exchang
ing mutual greetings,' and where class
mates of years ago clasped hands and
became for the hour active workers in
their old Chapteit, and hero the fire was
kindled, and fagots put on which made
the blaze burn brightly by the time we
.M(1 reached the hotel. 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.

These were followed by a large ontn

had a chance to allow their overflowing
spirits to have exit. We mention
only a few :

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
