THE QUARTERMASTER GENERAL
reports the companies holding arms of the State, including four Gatling guns, the persons having custody of cannons, and a list of the arms and ammunition in the Armory. He has derived $1,086.25 from sales of condemned and unserviceable arms, and $749 26 from sales of cartridges and ammunition, making in all, $1,835.51 paid into the Treasury. It will be remembered that our supplies of ordnance and ordnance stores come from the Ordnance Department of the General Government, under authority of the act for arming the militia. The State should at least make adequate provision for the care and custody of her munitions of war, that nothing be wasted or lost in issuing, using and returning them.
