a,ne and other papers, 1nnny severe structures
upon Gen. Patterson. I am no admir1r Of the

At The Eamc time am aware that there are
two sides to the question, and that it is con-
tended that 1t the facts we're known, the cen

to where it belongs.

which, after the receipt Of IN order for for

Gen. Johnston Was not vigorously FOLLOWED

' STATE ARMS.

STATE ARMS
Much injustice is being done Gov. Yates
and the Commissioners for the purchase OF
State arms, by the unfoundel assertion
that they have failed 10 perform their d'l-
Ties under the act Of the Legislature "to
establish magazine to purchase efficient
AIMS for the; STATE Afflitin, and for other
uurposcsn The facts are these: The law
authorized and required the Governor TO
purchase arms, equipments, etc, for the
nlilitia Of Illinois, 10 the amount aud value
Of $500 600. "as soon as tie necessary junas
ecould 1e obtained" It authorized him
also to appoint three persons to selectthe
arms and 10 contract for the same-thelr
ccntracts to be valid only when approved
by the Governor. The Commissioners
were appointed and went to work; propo-
s:ls were advertised for, and samples re-
ccived and examined. One member Of the
Commission went East and examined as-
sortments Of rifles and equipments. Scvc-
raj contracts were made, wanting only the
Governors approval The Governor with
hcld lis approval because there was no
money in the Treasury to pay for the arii-
clcs purchased, and because the parties
would rot accept the State bonds in pay
ment. That is all there is Of it. II any one
will show how the Commissioners could
buy arms without Tie Governors consent,
OF how the Governor could give his con-
sent without any means Of payment, then
a case may be made out against them.
Otherwise not
It is d fact also that no State is required
to furnish arms for soldiers of the United
States. The arms intended to be pur
chased under The law in question were de.
signed for the Illinois militia exclusively.
IF the arms were obtained or obtainable
they would be cheerfully given to the COM
mon cause, but it is not the duty Of the
Executive Of Illinois 10 furnish q single
1nuskct to our volunteers in the service Of
Tie general government. We mention
this as IN additional reason why ecnsurc
should not fall on Gov. Yates or the Com
nissioners, although the whole case is
covered by the previous statement
