the Bombastes Furioso of the Paris

often postponed that there existed a
doubt as to whether he would be tried

He first attracted attention as the

of the Emperor Napoleon aud the

Parisians whose bad instincts he fat.

Mot d Ordre, one Of the noisiest parti-
sans of the Commune. 1t was he who
started tho idea Of demolishing the

Relative to the question among

that the driver of Goldsmith Maid put

and their being no other witness tc
tho deception than llickok, the driver
OF Lucy, of course there was no de
judgement of claim or foul. Ii thi:

The New York Tribune propounds
the plain question--"Can criminal,
guilty of frauds on the government
which should have sent him to Fort
Lafayette, make himself, through gov
crnment patronage, the dictator of the
Republican party Of New York 7" and
proceeds TO pin these frauds upon the
back of Thomas Murphy, Collector of
New York, and pet and familiar OF
General Grant. The proofs are of a
most minute and crushing character,
and arc thus stated by the Tribune
That Mr.. Murphy was guilty of the
grossest frauds in the delivery of
shoddy hats and caps to the govern
ment that these frauds were inten-
tional, and under his own personal
direction; that they were so gross as
to attract the attention of the work
men and TO elicit from the Quarter
master. General tho declaration that
the goods could havo been received
only through the incompetency or col.
lusion of the inspector who passed
them that Mr.. murphy had found
such known means as presents of ele-
CANT carriages and the like for making
terms with inspectors to say nothing
of unknown and more powerful means,
there were reasons for suspecting that
the frauds established 10 the few con-
tracts investigated amounted 10 sll2,-
000.00 and moro were in reserve In
this manner Mr.. Greeley exhibits
shoddy as q means of making Repub-
lican leaders in New York, and then
cooly tells Mr.. Murphy the war is of
his making, and he must take the
consequences. The fight will begin in
earnest Ia the Radical State Convcn-
ton at Syracuse, when Mr.. Murphy
boasts he will have the Grant dele
gates admitted, and the friends of Mr..
Greeley rejected. In the meantime,
Mr.. Greeley will continue the contest
and show the kind of men General
Grant has put in power in New York.
When the Radical papers Of New
York are denouncing Tammany for
dishonest practices, will they not look
at the case of the Collector of that
port, whom Mr.. Greeley calls "this
shoddy contractor, swollen with rob-
berries from our soldiers ?"-Phiiadei-
phid Age.

a LIE.-That Radicalism is mainly
kept up by falsohood and robbery is
patent to all intelligent beings. Tho
following, coupled with Evans, EN-.
braces just what we allege:
evans, the Pennsylvania dcfaulter, has, in all
probability, made his escape through the tardi-
ness Of Gov. Hoffman, and the aid Of III. Tamma-
ny Democrats, in New York. Republicans seek
to punish scoundrcls, while the Democracy pro-
tcct them"
This frst.class lie we find in nearly
every Radical newspaper we open, and
is so hugely untruthful, and the au.
thors know it, too, that VIC have al
most came to the conclusion that
Missionaries and Sunday Schools make
but little impression on loyal editors,
The reverse is the fact. Geary, Har.
tranft and Treasurer MaclSey as much

waited two weeks TO allow him to
pack his traps before they issued their
warrant

n Sit;uid Trick,

Governor Geary aud the rest OF our
State officers at Harrisburg have ad-
dod TO their guilt in the Evans case by
attempting 10 shift the responsibility
for that scoundrcl's escape upon the
shoulders of the Governor of New
York, The trick is as stupid and
contemplate as II is wicked, Evans
wash Philadelphia andin Harrisburg,
where the hand of the law might have
been laid upon him any day or any
hour, if the Governor had desired his
arrest. No steps were taken TO Sc
cure him until the force of public
sentiment, loudly and even angrily
expressed, compelled our State officers
TO take action. Then they gave no.
tce that they intended TO arrest
Evans. Then Evans went to the city
of New York and showed himself
publicly, so that il might become
known where he was, and so that the
Governor Of Pennsylvania might send
requisition for him to the Governor
of New York. Then he went to AL.
bany and showed himself publicly
there, so that it might become known
all over the country that he had been
right under tho nose of tho Governor
of New York. But before Governor
Geary's tardy requisition could be
presented to Governor Hoffman and
endorsed by him, Evans slipped from
Albany and took good caro- not to let
any one know where he was going,
And now Governor Geary's organs
pretend to censurc Governor Hoffman
for not acting upon tho rcquisitiou
with sufficient promptness to secure
the arrest of Evans But do not all
the facts so to prove that Governor
Geary arranged this whole affair with
Evans, so that the latter might escape
whilst the Governor should appear to
have made an effort TO have him ar.
rested 1t is clear that our State
officers did not want Evans arrested
They were afraid he would make q
clear breast OF il and give the names
of all with whom he had divided his
| plunder,- VALLEY Spirit,
