The Military.

Adjutant General Noise has issued
al order to those militia companies
holding Roberts rifles to return them
as unserviceable weapons, and to send
them to q firm in New York for cx-
change. The State appropriates five
thousand dollars Of tho incoming
taxes for exchanging weapons, and
while tho new arms cannot be Oh
tanned till fall, they will be given to
those companies that first hand in
their old ones. Inasmuch as the
militia are not expected to enter into
any war in the near future, and as
the supply Of arms of all sorts is
very limited, it may bo asked why
not retain the old guns and expend
the appropriationin purchasing now
ones, SO rs to increase the number,
instead of improving the quality. A
gun is gun as far as mere drilling
is concerned, and in the opinion of a
civilian, 1t is better to crafty fvo
companies, even At the risk of giving
somo OF them inferior weapons, than
10 equip only three with rifles war;
ranted to perforatc hostile invader a
mile OIL The way to preserve militia
ry organization is to provide as many
companies with arms as possible. No
company will exist any length of time
without regular equipments, and
even unseryiceable rifles are bettcr
than mono at all. South Carolina
does not propose to whip tho United
states government, or acquire Mexico
within the next ten years, therefore
why deprive the military Of thcir
Roberts gun? Let every company

From the Bangor Wing.
PilIsbuFy in 1868 and 1870.

Pilsbury is shocked at the open Rebel
lion in Bangor as he desgnates the occur
renee of Christmas Day. lie says "Thc only
division now is to be between ioyalists and
rebels. Will YOU stand on the side of the
Government or of the rebellion," This is in
1879.
Where was Mr.. Pillsbury when, at mid.
night OF Friday, July 18th, 1863. Mr. Daniel
Bradley of KINGFIELD, who had in his
hands the notices to serve on the drafted men
of his town, was called to his DOR where he
was met by twenty men. acting upon Mr.
Pillsbury's orders and advice, who with oaths
and imprecations too shocking TO listen to,
demanded and obtained and afterwards de-
stroyed the papers issued from the Provost
Office! And when on the succeeding Fri
day, July zith, when Il military
company marched into the village of
Kingfeli and protected the persons employed
in serving the notices. where was Mr.. Pills
barry! Skunk into his hole, out of sight, just
where he would be should the COLLISION which
he is trying TO provoke in 1879 take place!
He is very ''loyal' now but that loyalty is to
Eben 4. Pillsbury, and so long as his own
miserable neck Is saved from the halter and
worthless body from bullets, the whole state
might reek with gore so far as he would do
aught TO prevent il.
The people of Maine have good memories.

The grenback national organ at Washing
ton denounces the acts of the Governor and
Council of Maine. 1t says:
"The democratic Governor, elected by an
unfair construction of constitutional law, has,
under the instigation of democratic leaders
of doubtful political reputation, induced the
council, composed largely of nationals, to
enter into an extraordinary and unprccedent-
ed means of canyassng and deciding the cleo
ton and here comes the gravity of the matter
so far as nationals are concerned. The ques-
tons of law involved in this manner of can
vass and count by the Governor are ques-
toned by men of all parties and all shades of
politics. The Governor himself at first ap-
pearcd to b. in doubt as to the means of de-
termining and reversing the result of the
