EDIToEs GAZETTE: For the benefit Of
the heavily burdened tax. payers Of Ohio.
we desire publicity TO be given 10 the fol.
lowing facts:
When it was first asceriained that Ian
caster would probably be mate point Of
rendezvous for a regiment Of troops, Mill.
er d Bush teIegraphed Adjutant General
Car.iuglon that "they would ration them
cheaper than any man, Or set Of men, in
Ohio They we're then supplying, at the
TaIlmadge House, the two Companies or.
gauized at this point at the low figure Of
40 cents per day, being 90 cents per day
less than the State was paying at Camp
Harrison, Cincinnati, fos troops in large
bodies. Receiving reply, Chas. Miller
of the firm Of Miller & Bush, repaired a,
once 10 Columbus, and meeting General
Schlelch, informed him he we there
for the purpose of "bidding for the con.
tract, to ration, &C., the troops now quar-
tered, and hereafter 20 be quartered at
Lancaster y Gen. Scbeich was then on
his way, as he informed Mr.. Miller, to the
Adjutant Ge erals Office for the purpose
of getting power to let the conlrac: which
he succeeded in doing. Upon his return 10
his room at the "American, for the pur.
pose, as he said, Of letting the contract, 4"
the following proposition was handed him
by Mr.. Miller;
LANCASTER, May lst. 1861.
BRIG. GEN n. ScuLETcu, Columbus, O..
Sir: The undersigned parties, (OIds,
Miller d. Co., agree to subsist al the
troops that may be quartered at Camp
Anderson Lancaster, furnishing them with
proper and sufficient ralions, barracks,
and all things necessary. for their con-
Portable subsistence, at the rate OF twenty.
five cents per day per man; for the faith
ful performance oi which agreement they
will give security TO your entire satisiac-
tion. Very respectfully,
OLDS, MILLER L. co.
For some reason. unexplained, Mr.
Schleich totally disrcgarded the above
bil and let the contract TO Messrs. Spring.
er, Ulnck, Mumaugh and Rising, at the
round little price Of 35 cents per day,
making a difference of 500 per day to
the taxpayers Of Ohio.
But the bold and glairing iniquity Of
this whole transaction is in this Meisrs.
Springer. Ulrick, Mumaugh & Rising.
several days prior to the letting of the con.
tract. had submitted 10 the State by tele-
graph proposition to "ralion the soldiers
quartercd at Lancaster a, 80 cents day
per head, making an aggregate Of $50
a day less than the sum now paid.
Will Gen. Schleich be so good as to OK.
plain this transaction; will he inform the
public why he dsrcgarded the bid of Olds,
Miller & Co.. why he gave Springer &
Co., cents per head more than they
asked? Vito gets tie benefit ofMs extra 5
cents, and finally whether or not ho is the
same Gen. Schleich who rooted the ground
hogs out Of the Board of Public Works
about ore year ago. TAX PAYER.
