The Evans Embez.lement.

The whereabouts OF Mr.. George ".
Evans, whose name has become famii'
liar in connection with the Pennsylva-
nia war claims" cannot be discovered,
although he has professedly. a place OF
business in New York. As soon as
reouisition was made for him on the
criminal charge Of embezzlement he
disappeared from his accustomed walks.
This fact is full Of significance, and
will lead the public mind to the only
conclusion which is possible under the
circumstances. The concealment Of
the principal actor in this huge fraud
tells the whole story. 1t is part OF
the conspiracy, to prevent any investi-
CATION at this time, and to keep Evans
hid until after the election in Pennsyl-
vania. If there had been any desire or
intention to prosecute him, he would
have been arrested month ago, when
at Harrisburg trying to cook up 'the
figures, upon which he was pronounced
TO be a satisfactory agent
The authorities had precisely the
same knowledge at that time that they
have now. The facts have in no man.
ner changed, for they are OF official
record. The plain truth is, the parties
to this corruption expected 1t to blow
over at first, by the effect OF their one.
sided statements. When the storm
raised could not be allayed, Evans was
told to get out Of the way, so that when
the requisition was finally made he
could not be found. All this was dellb-
erately contrived by leading Radicals in
Philadelphia, Washington, and Harris,
burg, who were sharers in this and
other plundering jobs. 1t is we'll
known here that Evans never received
but a fractional part OF the immense
commission which he charged. 1t was
distributed among others, much more
conspicuous than he is, and they have
contrived to spirit him away, not because
Of any regard for the instrument OF
their corruption, but because criminal
trial would bring before the public the
men who participated in the fraud, and
who are far more guilty than he is.
Reluctant as the Ring is to disgorge
its gains, some OF the members OF that
fraternity would make almost any sac
rifice, rather than submit to the threat
ened exposure They thrive upon an
artificial character OF social and politi-
cal pretense, which, if destroyed or
damaged, would materially injure their
future operations upon the Treasury.
Hence, it may be assumed that Evans
will never be brought to justice, on ac.
count OF the position and influence OF
his confederates, because they know
perfectly well that he would tell the
whole story.-Patriot.

TIE New York Sun pertinently COM
ments on Grants denial that he ordered
the troops to be used in Louisiana, with
Gatling guns, to keep the anti-Grant
Republicans from the State Convention
by saving: Very well; il this be true,
let him prove it by promptly dismissing
his brother-in-law, Collector Casey, with
Messrs. Packard, Joubert and Herwig,
all United States officials, who had the
troops there and directed their action.
"The fact that four weeks have
elapsed since this unprecedented wrong
was committed, and that Gen. Grant
neither said or did anything about it
until be was driven into a corner by the
New Orleans delegations, renders his
denial rather superfuous. II he had
not been morally at least a party to the
conspiracy, he would not have waited o
month, but would at once have pro-
claimed that he should deal with It's
authors a. they deserve" Fl.

A DefaIcatiOu In the Treasury Oh
Warrington TerritOry-.Alteged
Attempt at Bribery by Governor
SaIOmOn-The President Takes NO
Action In the Premises.
Another defalcatioa OF an Admins
ton officer and Grants indifference TO
the same has Just come to light. The
Receiver OF Public Moneys for the Ter,
ritory of Washington is deiaulter for
a large amount. and Governor SaIomon,
of that Territory, seems to be party
to it. 1t appears that the frsi'named
officer was suspected some time
since OF being defaulter, and
accordingly the Treasury De
partment dispatched a special agent
to the territory Of Washington to inyes-
tigate his accounts, and upon an exam
ination Of the safe kept in the Receivers
office he discovered memorandum
checks signed by Governor Salomon TO
the amount OF $4,000 for moneys be-
longing to the Government, which the
Receiver, in violation Of law, had let
him have. Similar checks, signed by
Governor Salomon's coniederates, rep
resenting several thousand dollars more,
were also discovered Governor Salo-
mon, finding that he had been detected,
endeavored to have the affair con-
cealed. He went so lar as to
offer the special agent Of the
Treasury a thousand dollar bribe If he
would not report the real facts. This
offer was Indignantly repelled by that
officer, who has officially reported this
together with the facts above detailed; ;
and what is even worse than this at
tempt at bribery is President Grants
conduct in the premises. The facts
we're fully presented to him several
weeks ago, and the removal OF Govern
or Salomon and the Receiver Of Public
Moneys demanded by Mr.. Garfield, the
Delegate in Congress from Washington
Territory, to which not the slightest
attention has been paid by the Presi-
dent. The olrense OF the Receiver is
made felony by the sub-treasury law.
