The Blanket Story.

We copy the following from the Lewis
town Democrat of last week:
Recent developments, made before the
United States Grand Jury in Philadelphia,
show that the State has for all these things
paid tie price Of good articles Blankets,
for instance, although weighing barely one
pound and six ounces, have cost the State
$500 piece. Any housekeeper knows they
were not worth over half the money. 1t is
plain therefore that somebody has been spec
ulating at the expense Of the gallant volun-
teers, who so nobly and promptly responded
to the country's call. Somebody has swim
died the State, and at the same time deprived
at least portion of our soldiers of decent
game has been played; but certainly quite
far enough to be a lasting stain upon the
State"
10 put at rest, once and forever, one of
the miserable lies got up either to produce
an effect for political purposes, or else in
subordination among the volunteers, we
state, BY AUTHORITY, that the light blan-
kets spoken of above were settled for at
Sl.5O per pair, or IS cents a piece-so
that the Democrat and all other pepers that
have published this abortion, will perceive
that the blankets were bought and paid
for at less than half rhat THEY aUsge
every househeeper hno,os to hare been their
value!
