GEORGE o. Evans has been heard from.
On yesterday week he turned up, just as
every one knew he would, in New York
He appeared before Judge M'Cunn of that
city with his counsel, Strahen, in obedi
ence to a writ of ha6eaS corpus In whose
custody he was, or who produced him
before the Judge, we are unable to say
His attorney insisted that Evans was an
innocent and much abused man, and that
If he had stolen two hundred and nindy
thousand dollars, he was justified in keep
ing it, because the Act of Assembly under
which Geary appointed him expressly au-
thorized him TO do so. Judge McCunn
stated that he would render his decision
today. By what authority this New
York Judge undertakes to 90 behind the
requisition of Gov. Geary, and to investi-
gate the merits Of the case, is certainly
mystery to us, and we are very certain
that such thing was never done before.
But as Geary and his Attorney General
have from the very beginning treated this
embezzlement as very trifling affair-a
mere seven DAYS wonder-it is possible
that Judge M'Cunn, if be is well paid for
it, may take the same view of it. and or
der Evans to be discharged. What will
be the next phase in this unholy and dis

A TERRIBLE BALLooNING ACCIDENT.-At
Paoli, Orange county, Ind. Saturday. Pro-
fessor Wilbur made arrangements for bal
loon ascension. He was to be accompanied
by George Fl. Knapp, editor of the Orange
county Union" As they were getting into
the balloon the cords gave way, and they
only succeeded in grasping the ropes as the
balloon rose. Knap9 let go and fell thirty
feet without serious injury.
Professor Wilbur held on and attempted
20 climb in the basket, but was unable to do
so. and the balloon shot upward rapidly with
Wilbur hanging below. The spectators
were thrilled with horror at the terrible scene,
which ended in dreadful manner. At a
height of about one mile the doomed man
let 90 his hold and came whirling to the
eal tn.
As he approached the earth he was feet
foremost. then spread out horizontally, then
doub led up. turned over. and then straight-
ened out with his head downward. AS ne
strnek the earth he fell upon his head and
back. His head was mashed into an uudis-
tinguishable. mass. and his body was bruised
and crushed horribly.
The body made an inden:atiou in the
ground eight inches deep. ann it rebounded
four feet from where it struck. The profess
sor's young wife and little daughter were on
the ground and witnessed the terrible affair.
The remains of the unfortunate man were
properly cared for. aud buried at Paoli yes

possible. In no view that can be taken
of the proposition can it be regarded as a
party question. but one in which every
taxpayer in the State is directly and per-
sonally interested. and for that reason il
ought to receive an undivided support in

The most notable political event that
has occurred for some time was the bot
Ting up of Ben Butler last week by the
Massachusetts Radical State Convention.
Butler had set his mind and heart upon
the Governo-shiU of that State. as the
stepping stone TO still higher political pre-
ferment, but he was ruthlessly stricken
down IN the house of his radical friends
and his Presidential aspirations rudely
scattered 10 the four winds of heaven
tie made bold and vigorous fight. and
the only thing strange about the matter is.
that as unblushing and unprincipled a
demagogue as he is universally admitted
to be could receive so many votes in a
respectable political convention. The won
der ceases. however, when it ia remember
ed that 1t was done in a Massachusetts
convention in the year 1871. Although
Ben has been foored, he will not stay
down at the bidding of Massachusetts
radicalism. He is an enterprising genius
and tull of expedients. Henry Wilson.
one of the Senators from that State,
helped to drag Butler down. Butler will
nov 90 for Wilson's Senatorial scalp with
all his accustomed energy, and if he does
not wear that trophy in his belt, we are
greatly mistaken in the man.

WE understand it is charged against
Mr.. Rose in some sections of the county,
that at the instance of the Cambria Iron
Company, he (aose) procured the passage
of law last winter, relating to the assess
ment of taxes in Cambria county, under
the provisions of which any owner Of pro-
perty may appeal from the decision of the
County Commissioners to the Court of
Common Pleas. The charge is false
The same law applies to Schuylkill, Dau-
phin, Somerset and Indiana counties.
The Cambria Iron Company had nothing
TO do with the passage of the law, so far
as we know. Before its passage the
Commissioners of this county were con-
suited on the subject, and gave it their
approval. The law is merely discretion~
ary, and was simply intended to afford a
remedy In the courts to any property hold
er who felt himself aggrieved by the action
of the County Commissioners Is there
anything wrong about that The law is
a fair one for any person who sees proper
to avail himself of it, and we pity the in
tellIgence of the man who can be induced
to vote against Mr. Rose because he was
instrumental in procuring its passage.
No man can be imposed upon by charge
so utt.rly weak and contemplate.
