tunatey, when the facts do come to light, they
will possibly be so exaggerated or distorted that
the effect will be more detrimental than if the
whole story had been told at first"

In view of the presen. uncertainty of things
the Boston TraUeler remarks:
1--WE are paying for the follies of which public
men have been guilty, and for which they were
not rebuked by the public. The present bad con-
dition of our affairs is directly traceable to cessa
/ ton of recruiting and of the manufacture of
arms last March, and to the refusal TO call out
men for short terms four or five months ago.
We saved twenty millions by the policy that was
then pursued, and should be glad to be as
sured that we shall not be found TO have bought
that saving at expenditure of five hundred
millions, to say nothing of an unlimited amount
of bloodsbed and humiliation"
