TO produce the revolution which has taken
place in the management OF that impor

Soon after the dissolution OF the last As.

from the pamphle, lately published BY my.

examined aud proved the arms in July
1903. These are tn. facts.
J" This clmmi'lc met at the Capitol
some time in July 1868. They se,e cted
a number of muskets OF different IN nu
factories, and sent them to The armory,
| by pc sons employed by the officers. Al
he armory they selected others. They
we're all taken to pieces on tina, day. In
that situation they we're left at the armc-
( ~ in the care of the officers. The com.
lmittee returned next day, and proceeded
prove as they supposed, the muske
which they hal seiecled They comm
d several days, and made favorable re-
port, OF the armory muskets, s. of the ta-
Tents of The officers and managem n, oil

general confidence of the people.
" But this committee was deceived, an
in The following modes. Previous TO tha

armary mu.kets. Many were destroyed,
those which were saved, were either pla.
ced in situations 10 be selected by he IN

BY hose means the armory nuskels APP
