IT is said. that before leaving Harrisburg.
last Saturday. Geo. .. Evans made and
furnished to the Court Of Dauphin county,
a concise statement Of the disposition
which was made of the 1921. 900, which ne
retained ont of the funds collected by him
from the general government on account of
the claims of the State of Pennsylva-
mia. This affair has been the political
scandal Of this State for several years, and
all honest men will rejoice to hear that
there is y probability of the truth being
made known. 1t SCENE to be generally
conceded that Geo. o. Eavens was merely
the tool of bad men who planned the rob
berry Of the State Treasury and effected it
through the agency of Evans. For years
all sorts of rumors have been fife concern
ing it, and every campaign has brought
forth crin'iuation and recrimination in
regard to it, Which Indicate that the truth,
if made known, would seriously damage
parties in high standing. If Evans has at
last made the confession, which has long
been feared by his confedcrates, the public
may look for some interesting develop
ments. Whomsoevcr these may affect, it
is right that they should come. and where
the offense is found to have been, let the
great axe of justice fall.-Lancastee HtteJ-
iyeHcer.

a CATHOLIC priest i'll BIatteboTo, Vt,
recently asked of the local school committee
that the children of his parish who attended
the public schools might be excused on Cor
pus Christi day. in order TO attend church.
This request was refused, and as the priest
prevented the children from attending on
that day, the school committee and the
teachers, who have the sole right of dec-
sion in the case, excluded those children
from the schools the remainder of the term.
/ he Catholic parents appealed to a Judge,
who sustained the action of the committee.
There has been considerable angry discus
sion concerning the matter, but the COM
rnittee hold that they have right to enforce
school discipline, and that as there is no
such holiday as Corpus Christi in the civil
calender, they do not propose to recognize
il.

SINCE the Philadelphia Age, owing to
the untimely death of its fearless and ac-
complished editor, Hon. Charles J. Biddle,
has passed into other hands and assumed
neutral position, that city has been with
out a daily Democratic j ournal. We re-
gard this as very great reflection on the
wealth and intelligence of the Democracy
OF the metropolis of the State. The Re
publican party can boast of four or five
daily papers in that city, while the Democ-
r"cy seem content to put mp with that many
weekiicS, two Of which, The Common icealth
and the Weekly NAL, are among the very
best on our exchange list, both being con-

For the past two weeks the radical pa
pers have overtowed with exaggerated and
partisan accounts of outrages and murders
in three or fcur of the Southern States,
perpetrated as they allege by white men
on inoffending negroes. We condemn and
viii always protest against all acts of un-
lawful violence, whether they are commit
ted by white or black men. Such afro
cious crimes are disgrace to the fair fame
of the country, as well as to the civilization
of the age.
In any one of the present cases 1T is not
possible to gather true statement OF the
facts, and hence it would be presumptuous
to say who is really to bear the blame and
who ought to suffer the punishment. That
the white people of the South are hostile
to the colured race is too absurd propo-
sition to be believed by any man of ordin-
ary intelligence who understands anything
about the intimate dependence of the one
race on the other. The white man owns
the soil and must of necessity cultivate and
improve it. His very means of existence
depend upon his doing So and the black
man is the only class on which he can rely
as a laborer. 1t is therefore his greatest
personal interest to treat the eolored race
fairly and to live in peace and harmony
with it. That there are lawless and des-
perate white men i'll the South as well as
} in the North is not to be denied. There
is low, mean, plundering class of North
ern adventures in most of the Southern
. States, known as carpet baggers, who are
! responsible for nine-tenths of the trouble
between the two classes.
The notorious John J. Patterson of this
State, now Senator from South Corolina,
is one of this thieving crew. 1t seems
that he has visited the President and ask
cd him to send troops to preserve the peace,
as lie calls it, in the Eighth Judicial Dis
trict of that State. If the President would
consent to crafty him of course there
would be the old scenes of violence and
I bloodshed repeated. 1t is precisely such
! political villains as Patterson and others
like him who left this and other States to
rob and plumber the people of the South
since the close of the war; and who have
exerted all their devilish ingenuity to TO-
ment and foster feeling of hostility be-
/ tween the slaves and their former masters.
( The following dispatch from Greenville,
! s. c., repudiates and gives the lie to the
low and contemplate effort of Patterson
to quarter troops in a judicial district where
perfect peace between the whi6es and blacks
prevails
! GREENvILLE. s. c.. September 3.-Judge
/ Thompson II. Cooke, - prominent Republl-
eau, opposes Senator PattcrSon's proposal
! to Introduce troops TO preserve the peace in
+ tie Eighth Cirruit, personal reflection
on his (Cooke's) ability to maintain order,
we'll ~ on the people thereof. He sees
! no evidence of any resort to violence being
intended. No political murders or outrages
, have been committed in his district, nor
any other portions of the State for the past
/ two years. There is no bad blood between
whites and blacks there.

TELE6RAPHIC dispatches from Colorado
indicate :hc election of Patterson, the Dem
ocratic candidate for delegate to Congress
10y handsome majority over his Ecpubli-
can competitor and an independent Dem
ocratic candidate also in the field. The
Republican majority in 1872 was !, 300. 1t
does not seem to make much difference,
says the Harrisburg Patriot, at what point
of the compass IN election is held, the re-
suits are uniform. The iniquities of re-
publican administration have transcribed
the limits Of endurance, and, as opportun-
ity offers, the people are simply throwing
its advocates overheard. Now let us hear
from Maine.

TIE result of the election in Wyoming
furnishes an additional proof of the inabil-
ity of the Republican party to hold it's own
ut the election, this year. The majority by
which the Democratic candidate for Com
gress carried the Territory two years ago
has been more than doubled, probably
reaching 600 against 227 in 1872 As the
Territory casts less than 1000 votes, this
gain is quite noticeable one.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.-A Philadel-
phia dispatch of the 9TH inst. says: About
half-past one o'clock Saturday morning a
terrible accident occurred in the preSs-room
of the Democrat office. Mr.. VIM. Geary,
the engineer, was busily engaged in clean
ing around the cutting cylinder of the Bull
lock press, when, by some mshap, one of
his hands came in contact with the cutter,
and In second was amputated Just above
the wrist. The unfortunate man uttered q
Wild cry of agony, and staggered back,
overcome with pain and faintness. In a
moment all was in the greatest confusion.
The press stopped as quickly as possible,
and the attaches of the office gathered
around poor Geary. The severed member,
which had fallen inside the press, was pick
ed up by one of the employees of the estab-
lishment, while the agonized victim was
conveyed rapidly to the hospital. The
bleeding stump presented a horrible ap-
pearance, and for while much consterna-
ton existed among the workmen. Singu-
larly enough, the accident occurred on the
same press that caused the death of MIR.
Bullock, the inventor. Mr.. G.. is young
married man, and well known in the city.

SINGULAR COINCIDENCEs.- The loss o.
two propellers of somewhat similar names
at nearly the same date, is made the occa-
sion, by the Chicago Inter Ocean, of recall
ing to mind several losses which have
occurred in past years, where strange
fatality is noticed. The destruction of the
steamer Washington on Long Point. in
1888, 1t says, was followed by the loss of a
vessel of the same name on the lakes, a ca
nal boat on the Erie canal, and also a
steamerof the same name on the Ohio river,
and all occurring within few hours of each
other. The steamer Washington No. 2,
which was burt ed on Lake Erie in 1888,
was followed as the record shows bv the loss
of sloop on the North river of the same
name. a canal boat near Portsmouth. on the
Ohio canal, and brig in the Gulf of Mex
ico. The burning of the steamer Erie on
Lake Erie, in 1S41, was followed by the loss
OF the brig Erie, the capsizing of vessel
of the same name, and damage sustained
by another steamer of like name by COLI
sion. Coming down to a more recent date
the steamer Seabird was burned on Lake
Michigan, ii 1868, during the same twenty
four hours the scow Seabird sunk with coal
at kelley's Island, and the schooner Seabird
went ashore on Lake Erie.
