THE TEs7TKONY OF Mr.. EVANS

In the charges presented by the counsel
for the memorialists on the 18th inst it
viii be recollected that the whole force of
the accusation was directed against Mr.
John o. Evans, who was alleged to be the
head Of . "ring" to advance whose inter.
est the Board of Public Works entered into
. conspiracy. Mr.. Evans was placed upon
the stand Tuesday. His evidence was
printed in full in thissj Journal yesterday.
That evidence must have convinced the
committee and everybody who heard and
read 1t Of the baseless character of the
charges of the memoriahsts.
The counsel for the obstructionists laid
great stress upon the alleged fact that Mr..
Evans purchased certain pavements before
the board had announced their intention a
to what pavements they would or would not
use. Mr.. Evans, having been Intercepted
upon that point overthrow the position ofthe
memorialists. Having testified that he
purchased only the right to use certain
pavements, the record reads:

ACCORDING to the dispatches Senator
6pnague's prospects for a reelection to the
Senate do not seem to be very bright. Mr..
Dixon, who is mentioned in connection
with the succession, served several terms in
Congress has been chairman of the Com
mite on Commerce, and is man of the
highest integrity.

"PERS0NAL CORRUPTION"


The public, in whom we include men,
beers of Congress, should not forget that the
essence of all the charges against the Dis
trict officials for more than q year past has
been that they were personally corrupt.
Every vile and opprobrious epithet which
language could frame has been applied to
Governor Shepherd. He has been assailed
more violently than any public man save
President Grant 1t was supposed that
when his assailants got the chance they said
they wanted we should have the locality Of
this personal corruption at once indicated.
But what is the result? Nothing of the
kind. No charge whatsoever against the
integrity of Mr.. Shepherd or any other Dis
trict official. The counsel for the memo
xialists are so cautious, indeed, that they
dare not ask their own witnesses if they
know Of any corrupt act. They are entirely
willing to have it assumed by the public,
but they are careful not to have it put to the
trouble Of proving it by charging it. On
Tuesday they had up the man whom they
charge with being the head and front of the
conspiracy, Mr.. John O. Evans, whose
notes at six months counsel for the memo
rialists would no doubt be glad to take for
their fees, if they could get them. He was
the man, of all Others, by whom they should
have sought to prove the corruption Of
Governor Shepherd and his associates. II
he, being the head "conspirator," doesn't
know It, who doesi
But they never 80 much as asked ques-
ton in that direction. The loquacious and
resonant Mr.. Christy had great amount of
irrelevant small talk with Mr.. Evans, but
he LEFT it to the counsel for thS District to
put these questions. and to get these an.
ewers:

head OF q conspiracy with the Board OF
Public Works to obtain contracts. Was

such arrangement existing between you and

No wonder Mr.. Christy resigned Mr..
