State of Vermont's Settlement With
Uncle Sam.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The con-
troller of the treasury has settled the
matter of the mutual claims Of the
United States against the State of
Vermont for ordnance furnished the
State and sold by the State to outside
parties, and of the State of Vermont
aginst the United States for clothing
and other military supplies furnished
by the State to its extraordinary mil.
itia in the years 1864 and 1866.
The amounts involved in these two
accounts are found to offset each other
so that there now remains due to the
s tate the Rum of $155, 453, which is
the interest paid by the State in it's
bonds issued by the State to aid the
United States in the civil war.
A warrant in favor of the State
will be issued for this amount.
