under great disadvantage, in attempting to make an argument against his better judgement.
 Mr PICKETT desired the Senate not to be alarm- ed, as he was not going to make speech Expe- rience had taught him not attempt to speak on a subject with which he so little eonyersant. he was with affairs of jurisprudence He stated that his mind had undergone some change since the com msncement of the session, in regard to the measure contemplated by this bill. He had intended to vote for it; but he did not now expect to do so. The principle reason that had operated his mind in favor of the bill, was the consideration that, the constitution limited the number of counties to be comprised in judicial circuit, the number of Judges was likely to be too large to constitute the Supreme Court when the Indian territory was acquired. As the constitution stands, he supposed the num- Der of Judges would be, perhaps, twelve, after that territory should be acquired; but resolutions had been introduced, which he hoped would pass, to amend the constitution in that respect Should that amendment prevail, the number of judges he sup posed, would not be greater than nine which might not be too many.
 He had another reason against passing the bill at present. Our constitution provides, that mem- Der of the General Assembly shall be elected to any office during his term of service, that shall in that term have been created. Mir F. wished to extend the restriction somewhat further than it was earned by the letter of the constitution and had ntroduc- ed bill for that purpose; excluding members of the Legislature from all offices which the Legislature have the power of conferrng. Should members of the Legislature be appointed to any office which this bill should create make vacant; it would in his opinion, be violation othe spirit of the constitution But he did not wish to create this Supreme Court un less the other bill was passed into law. To do so would, in his opinion, be violating that part of the Lords prayer. which says, lead us notnto tempta- tion."

State already has, are an expense to it. though this were the truth, means can cer- taInly be employed to prevent such expense Tn future. The guns that may be ordered hereafter, may be painted, and stored away securely ln boxes, or otherwise, in the arse nal; or should 1t be deemed unnecessary to order any more now, they could se permit ted to remain in the keeping of tie General Government, until our situation night urge uS 10 Their uSe in self defence. It is in my opinion, exceedingly desirable, situated as we are, that the public arms, equal innumber to the number of our militia, so thatshould ne- cesslty ever require it, there wodd be gun ready to be placed into the hands olevery mili- tiaman in the State; for it cannot bt co.lcealed, that we nave population among Is that may at some day, give us reason to rejdce that We are prepared. would also suggest to yoNr Excellency, that it be made the duty of the Quartermaster General to keep a regular set of books, by which he might at al times be enabled to show the number of public arms belonging to the State, in whose pos session, and whether or not they were in the hands of responsible persons; for without such an arrangement, it is almost entirely i'm practicable to ascertain any of these ftcts.- - would also further suggest, the prOpriety of change in relation to the mode piescrib- ed tor organizing courts of inquiry in case, of contested elections, &c. At present, ''not less than seven nor more than thirteen" off, cers are required to constitute Court Mar tal. In mj opinion, equal justice would be dispensed by court consisting of smaller number, say not less than three nor more than seven. If this change were effected, the difnculty III organizing court of inquiry, It not entirely removed, would certainly be much diminished. The officers arc at pre- sent not paid for such services, and whilst this IS the case, it is almost impossible to get the attendance of sufficient number to do business. The expression of indifference, and almost total want of knowledge in rela- ton to military matters, so common to our Le- gislators, is much to be regretted. Laws, plain and comprehensive, are required on this subject. Whatsoever fall short of such arc useless and unavailing. h strange fatality seems to have attended every effort, made within the last several years, fora moro ef- hcient organization of our militia, and the in- troduction of better and more useful code of military laws; and the ambiguous and contra dictory reasons assigned for the general un- concern, strongly evnce q msconception of the subject.
 My apology for submitting these crude and imperfect suggestions to your EXcellency, must be found in the importance of the sub ject, and my desire that your Excellency should at an early day, take it into serious consideration.
 l have the honor to be, most respectfully, your Excellency's ob't humble servant.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, Dec. 17, 1881.
 l herewith lay before the General Assem- bly, copies of communication from the Adju- tant General, which accompanied his annual report to the Executive, dated the 9th of December, 1881. The comprehensive view which that officer presents of our militia sys- tenn as now established, the manner in which he has pointed out its defects, and his sug gestions of such amendments of the laws, as would place it on more respectable and de sirable footing, are well worthy the considc- ration of the Legislature.
 It is apparent, that the laws have failed in the essential particular of enforcing such re- turns from the several divisions and bryades, as will afford any thing like a correct state ment of the strength of the militia. This should at all times be known, as we'll to be prepared against such exigencies as may arise, as to enable us to receive from the Ge- neral Government the quantity of arms and accoutrements to which, by the existing laws of Congress, we are entitled.
