anything. She then expressed her wish for them
to search the entire house. They said thev were
not instructed tn do sos but if she insisted on they
would She did insist, remarking that they would
find neither men muskets; there was nothing
but about the house, and they could search
where they pleased-for she liked to give people as
much trouble as she could, when she was sure they
would get nothing for their pains. She made them
look through the house, in cupboards clothes
presses, wardrObes, through the garret, and even
in an old eight-day clock. She showed them nv
double barrel fowling piece, and told them they
could pass their opinion it, whether it looked
anything like a musket; informing them at the
same time, that they might tell their informer for
her, if he would stay at home little more and
loaf less around the tavern, he would know more
about his own business and less of bis ueighbors'

THE STATE ARMS.
The following is the letter of Governor Hicks in
reply to the call of the Legislature for his
for ordering the recovery of the State arms:
STATE OF MARYLAND, EXECUTIVE CHAMBER,l
Frederick City, June 5, 1861.
Gentlemen of the Senate:
In response to your order of this date, asking me
"to furnish the Senate, at my earliest convenience,
with statement of the facts which induced me to
reclaim the arms formerly confided to certain mill
tary companies of Baltimore city; also, with the
reasons why said arms sent by nv order to
Fort McHenry; and also, what security have for
the restoration of said arms when demanded by
the proper authorities of Maryland" have to say
that, although | cannot acknowledge any right
the part Of the Senate to make such inquiries,
yet it gives me pleasure to respond to them mas
much as desire the people of the State to be &C.
quainted with the motives of all my official ac-
tions, and had, therefore, determined to give the
public the reasons for my action in the premises.
issued orders for reclaiming the arms referred
to because had become satisfied that many of
them had been carried beyond the limits of the
State CT Maryland for disloyal purposes, whereby
our citizens, the loyal well as the disoyal have
become obnoxious to the charge of aiding and
abettlng those persons who are now in rebellion
against the United States Government, and where
by, also, the State in addition to pecunary loss,
has been deprived of the protection designed to
her citizens by the purchase of said arms. Having
good reason to believe that more of said arms
would be carried off for like purpose, unless they
were promptly secured, | ordered them to be re-
claimed thinking it to be my duty to do so for the
protection OF the interest of the State.
have ordered the arms to be deposited at Fort
MeHenry as place of security, because other arms
belonging to the State had preyious been stolen
from the depository selected in the city of Balti-
more; and did not deem it prudent to again incur
a similar risk
The security have "for the restoration of said
arms, when demanded by the proper authorities OF
Maryland" lies in the honor of the United States
government, and of its loyal officers. should
have deemed it absurd and insulting to have re-
quired any other security.
