The three military companies of the city be-
longing to the 1st Regiment Maine Volunteer
Militia were inspected by Inspector General
Belcher last evening. at their respective drill
halls. The General expressed himself pleased
with the general condition of the companies
with the exception Of the uniforms of all and
the guns of the Infantry. The uniforms have
been worn by the men for seven years and the
state, although it made an express promise in
the past to supply new uniforms, has proved
recreant in its promise. 1t is remarkable the
uniforms should be in as good condition as
they are The General fears that unless the
next Legislature fulils its promise it will
prove the death-knell Of the militia sys-
tenn of the state on which is based the power
to carry out the laws.
The guns Of the Infantry shonld be imme-
diately exchanged for proper weapons. The
Blues received new guns short time since,
and the Montgomery Guards guns are in ex-
cell ent condition.
The companies turned out from 80 to 40
men and looked and marched ell.
