Thus Mr.. Wi liam Rice, late Of The Pennsylranian,
testifes as follows:

We have already published the fact that Mr..
RICE was for while the nominal printer of Post.
Office Blanks, for which he was to receive from
Mr.. Wendell liberal portion of the proceeds; but
q part of his per centase was, after while,
directed to the support of The Erening Argus
another Democratic luminary in Philadelphia,
which seems to have labored under chronic defi-
cheney of oil. Then Wendell was required to con-
tritute-and did contribute--large sums in aid OF
the Democratic candidates for Congress in The
PENNSYLVANIA election of 1S5S-to how little pur-
pose, the public is already aware. Of all his ben
6ciaries, Tom. Florence alone survived the disas-
trous tornado of that October. And not only had
money to flow in rivers in impotent efforts to stem
the popnar torrent, but more had to be contributed
to get up aud keep on its legs that third party that
promised 30 much but accomplished so little, aud
whose managers are now busly setting the " Ma
tional Union" trap. We copy on this point from
the evidence of Mr.. Sylvester j. Megargee, Poll
adelpbia dealer in paper and damaged politicians,
to the serious prejudice of the country, but OTIS

him, and note the wires by which the " National
puppet is kept in lively action:

So if ever you see this little joker "going it,
Neutrality-suspicious. in Pennsylvania, New-Jersey,
or elsewhere, and whether he calls himself Straight
"Anerican" National Uoion," or somes hing else,
Just bear in mind that the money that keeps him
buzzDg comes through the Wendells and Megar-
gees of the day out of the Federal Treasury.
We might quote much more from this dOcu-
ment of much interest, especially with regard to
]. B.s personal interference in directing these
streams of lubricat Dg patronage to fall on the
wheels whereby bis organs are kept grinding and
screakDg; but this sold public Rervant' is now so
near the close of his career that we prefer to let
him off as easily possible. 1t is the system, not
the man, that we would hold up to public reproba-
tiop; and that end, trust is already adequately
subserved. So let him CO.
