The RoBBER EVANS. The Cambria
Freeman, in alluding 10 the partner of
John F. Hartrsnft, says: "fhe civil
suit against George o. Evans was
called up in the Court Of Common
Pleas of Dauphin county last week
and continuance was asked for on
the ground Of the serious illness OF the
defendant This was opposed by the
Attorney General, but tho Court
granted the continuance on condition
that the case should never again be
continued for tho same cause. We
think the case will never be heard Of
again, the probability being that
Evans will be in another world before
tho next term Of the Court, ard then
the story Of his embczzlement will bc
like a thrice told tale In the mean

no Senatorial election in Alabama this

rel over the organization Of the Leg

are really in terrible condition.
Violence and bloodsbcd are imminent,

The administration has furnished
the public with its account Of "Com.
merce and Navigation for tho past
year, and we confess we don't like the
shape of things. If our individual
account was running behind as badly
us that Of "tho government" II would
not be long until we would have moth
ing left. But to tho figures OF tho
Secretary of the Treasury. The sta
tlstics Of foreign commerce for the
eleven months ending June, 1872, put
forth by tho Washington Bureau,
show the following; Imports for pre-.
vious year of 1871, si90,22s,632 do.
Of 1872, s5ss, lS6,O3S; excess in favor
of 1872, s0S,OO0,0OO, Domestic OK

1872, si5s,6l4 ,527 decreased exports
in 1872, sl3,00O,0O0. This makes bad
show for the country, and brings a
balance Of trade against us Of $780,
100000. We find that of American
tonnage engaged in the carrying TO
and fro the above imports and exports,
there is only the amount Of 3,746, 202,
while of foreign tonnage there is 1915
III. The peculiar political results OF
tho past ton years, under the domi-
nant party, have shown, among other
evils, increased imports, decreased
exports, and destruction OF half our
carrying trads -bse;is. F,vuu ~ rrsl-
class ocean power of over G,000,O00
tonnage, VIC have sunk to third-ratc
power Of 3,746,000 tons.
This shows decrease in business
and largely increased Indebtedness on
the part of the nation. There's bad
management somewhere. The reve.
nues are either stolen, or not collect.
cd, or the whole policy of the Govern.
mcnt is wrong lfthe account ofany Of
our wel-to-do farmers or merchants
wcro TO come ont this way for several
years, their patrons and creditors
would soon lose confidence in them,
and they would soon bo rendered
bankrupt, or be compelled to change
their mode of doing business.
A loss of thirteen millions of dollars
in business during tho past ten years,
and an additional debt Of ninety-eight
millions, may be small affair for
Uncle Sam, but a business of that
kind would soon ruin farmer, mer.
chant or mechanic, if ho did not
change his modo of doing business.
