ST.ATE OF M.AINE.
Adjutant General's Office, } Augusta, December 31, 1879.
To Hi's Excellency, ALONZO GARCELON~ Sm :-I have the honor to herewith transmit my report as Adju tant General, Acting Quartermaster and Paymaster General, for the year ending this day. Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant, S. D. LEAVITT, Adjutant General.
REPORT.
The Legislature, January 10th, 1879, elected Joshua L. Cham berlain Major General of Militia. The failure of the Legislature of 1878 to elect a Major General, practically abolished the former organization of the militia. By General Order No. 4, issued from this office November 1, General Chamberlain was assigned to the command of the Volunteer Militia. The force of High School Cadets has been increased one com pany, Rockland High School Cadets, armed by the State. Many new companies have been formed. The Lewiston Light Infantry and Frontier Guards have been armed and equipped by the State. Others have purchased arms of the State under order of the Governor and Council. The Inspector General's returns hows the condition of the organized force and State property in their hands, and condition of armories.
LAW. The militia law should be repealed entite there is so little of it worth retaining, this would be the wisest course. A commission of competent persons should be appointed to digest and submit to the Legislature of 1880, a "practical code." This is a matter of too much importance to be longer delayed with credit to the State· They should at least authorize uniforming two companies.in 1880, one addition in 1881, and the fourth in 1882 (including overcoats.) The neglect and refusal of the Legislature of 1878 and 1879 to make the nec.essary appropriation for uniforms for the organized militia, justly merits the condemnation that it receives at the hands of every man who would see a well disciplined militia that would be a credit to our State. G ADJUTANT GENERAL'S REPORT.
ARSENAL. Upon inspection of arsenal buildings at Bangor they were found to be sadly in need of repairs. I recommended to the Governor and Council that such necessary repairs be made as would preserve the property. In accordance therewith the Governor and Council authorized the repairs to be made. The work was done under the supervision of Hon. John B. Foster. The arsenal building and fence inclosing same are now in good order.
PENSIONS, By order of Governor and Council this department was removed from the Adjutant General's office, and established in a room m the rotunda with Benjamin Bunker, Esq., Pension Agent.
HISTORICAL MEMORANDA of the war of 1861, as provided for in resolve, approved February 23, 1876, has not reached that state of completion to bear fair criticism. No memoranda has been forwarded to this office dur ing the year.
ROLLS OF THE WAR OF 1812. The purchase by the State of the rolls of the militia and regular service in the war of 1812, in 1877, proves of great value to the soldiers of that war and their widows during the year. The index has been completed and substantially bound. About two thousand inquiries have been answered from these rolls, materially increasing the labofs of this office.

FARMINGTON, December 15, 1879. 7 o His Excellency, ALONZO GARCELON, Governor and Commander-in- Chief: Sm :-As Inspector General I have examined the armories of the several militia companies and have inspected the uniforms, arms, equipments and military property belonging to the State in their possession and submit the following report: ANDROSCOGGIN LIGHT ARTILLERY, LEWISTON._ This company has two 12-Pdr brass cannon and a Gatling gun, and is also provided with 40 Springfield B. L. muskets. The armory is in the city building in Lewiston, and is safe and convenient. It is impracticable, however, to store the heavy guns and carriages here, 'and they are consequently kept in another place. The cannon, carriages and Gatling gun are in good con dition. The harnesses, though perhaps usable, need oiling, blacking and repairing. I am informed by the commanding officer that owing to the expense of procuring horses, this company do not attempt to manoeuvre upon the field with their pieces except when ordered into camp; but content, or are obliged to content themselves with drilling at the guns. It is of great importance that the men should become familiar with handling the pieces upon the field, and sufficient money should be appropriated and alloted to this company to enable them to provide themselves on proper occa sions with horses, and to perform their evolutions upon the field. The swords and equipments were in fair condition. The small arms are new and in perfect orde1. COMPANY c, AUBURN LIGHT INFANTRY, AUBURN, This company has a good armory and drill hall. The arms and equipments are in good condition and show that the officers and men are attentive to their duty. INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, 45 The uniforms, by which I mean caps, coatR and trousers, were issued in 1873. Some of the coats and caps are in fair condition, but many of them are utterly unfit for further use. The company books are well kept. COMPANY D, NORWAY LIGHT INFANTRY, NORWAY. The town has furnished this company with a fine hall and armory. The company appears to be in good condition, and I am informed by the commanding officer that the drills are well attended and that the men are obedient and eager to perfect them selves in their duties. The arms and equipments are well taken care of and are in good condition. Clothing was issued to this company in 1873, and is worn out. I was surprised to find that no descriptive book is kept. BIDDEFORD LIGHT INFANTRY, BIDDEFORD, Here also I find a good drill hall and armory. Nothing better is needed. The arms and equipments show that they are well cared for. This company has no uniforms and is consequently unable to parade in public. The company books should receive more attention. COMPANY A, PORTLAND LIGHT INFANTRY, PORTLAND. This company and Company B use the same ha11 for drilling. A smaller room in the same building is used as an armory. At the time of the inspection the arms of this company were bright and clean, but many of the pieces were out of repair and not effective. The commanding officer should have the defective pieces repaired at once or turn them in and have new muskets issued in their stead. The clothing is unfit for further use. COMPANY B, PORTLAND MECHANIC BLUES, PORTLAND, This company has an armory of which they may well be proud. The room is luxuriously furni:;hed and afl:ords a pleasant place of meeting for members of the company. While a room so elegantly furnished is by no means necessary for a militia company, the fact that the members have seen fit to so furnish and decorate their armory indicates that they are interested in the success of their organization. They have, within a few weeks, been supplied with new Springfield breech-loading muskets ( cal. 45) which, of course, 46. .!~SPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT. are in perfect condition. The equipments are in good order. The clothing is worn and should be replaced by new. MONTGOMERY GUARDS, PORTLAND. This company is fortunate in possessing a fine, large hall in which to drill. A company could desire no better place in which to learn and practice company movements. In the story beneath the hall are two large rooms deyoted to the uses of the company. One of these, which is used for an armory, is fitted up like a parlor, adorned with portraits of distinguished soldiers, and is intended and used for a place of meeting and for the transaction of company business. The clothing is kept, andfumigated, in the other room which is conveniently fitted up for the purpose. The uniforms of this company have been in use but three years and are in fair condition.. Arms and equipments are in good order. The company books are neatly kept. RICHARDS LIGHT INFANTRY, GARDINER. This company has a hall for drilling which is tolerably well adapted for the purpose. They have no other room for an armory and the arms are consequently kept in open racks in the hall. I am informed that this hall is used for other puposes, and the arms are consequently exposed to injury and liable to be carried away by persons having no right to them. The commanding officer receipts for and is held responsible for the public property issued to him and should have the exclusive control of the room used as an armory. The municipal officers of Gardiner should provide some other armory for this company or cease to use this hall for other pur poses. The company presented a fine appearance at the time of inspection, and I noticed that the men cheerfully submitted to a discipline unusual in volunteer companies,but worthy oi imitation by all of our militia. The arms and equipments were in good order. The clothing of this company has been in use but three years and is yet serviceable. Company books are well and systematically kept. COMPANY F' CAPITAL GUARDS, AUGUST A. This company has a good hall and armory. The arms and equipments are well taken care of and are in good condition. The INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, 47 clothing was issued seven years ago and is no longer serviceable. The company has a full set of books which are properly kept. COMPANY E, SKOWHEGAN LIGHT INFANTRY, SKOWHEGAN. This company has a small room for an armory, which, though a safe repository for the public property, is not suitable for the purposes of a company. The room is too small and unsuitable for company quarters. The company has the privilege of drilling in Coburn Hall when it is not otherwise in use. It is, perhaps, impracticable in our small towns to furnish our militia companies with spacious halls with smaller rooms con nected, but I regard it of great importance that the company quarters should be convenient and pleasant. The arms and equipments are in goo Co. H, BELFAST CrTY GuARDs, BELFAST. I visited Belfast in obedience to my order, and repaired to the armory of Company H, at the time appointed for inspection. The company was not assembled and I was unable to gain admis sion. The following day, accompanied by Lieut. Townsend, I visited the armory. The arms and equipments in the armory were in fair condition. I could not learn whether or not the company has any books. The clothing was not in the armory, and I have no knowledge of its conditio,n. From inquiries made of the citizens of Belfast, I am lead to believe that the company should be thoroughly reorganized or disbanded. It is very probable that the blame should rest upon the commanding officer. I did not see the men composing the company, and do not know what causes have led to the COMPANY G, JAMESON GUARDS, BANGOR, This company has just moved into new quarters and rejoices in a fine drill hall with several smaller rooms connected. The rooms are convenient and suitable for the purposes for which they are used. The arms arid equipments are in good order. The clothing is old and worn out. Books are carefully kept. 48 INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, COMPANY I, CROSBY GUARDS, HAMPDEN, This company uses the town hall for a drill hall and armory, It is a suitable and convenient place for company drill. The muskets are placed in racks, which are enclosed in closets, and are safely kept. There is, however, no place in which to keep the equipments and uniforms, and the members of the company have been alowed to carry them to their homes. As a result, at the inspection some of the men were without uniforms and others without equipments. The town should provide some suitahle place for the company where they may be able to keep their arms, equipments and clothing together. The arms were somewhat rusty and foul, but with cleaning will be effective. The clothing is worn and should be replaced. The company books were not present when I inspected this company. COMPANY K, HERSEY LIGHT INFANTRY, OLDTOWN. This company has a small armory which is apparently a safe repository for the arms and other public property. I was informed, however, that it is damp and that the muskets rust and the equip ments become mouldy. If this is the fact, a more suitable place should be provided by the town authorities. The company are not provided with any hall· in which they can drill, and are therefore compelled to practice all company movements in the open air. At the date of inspection the arms and equipments were in good order. The clothing was in fair condition. The books are properly kept. While, as appears from the preceding report of the condition of the several companies, the men composing the militia are gen erally attentive to their duties and take proper care of the public property entrusted to them, a feeling of dissatisfaction prevails. A brief examination of the duties of the Legislature in relation to the militia will show some of the causes which have led to this feeling. Immediately after the war in 1865, public attention was turned to tl)e militia, and the laws relating thereto were thoroughly revised. In 1869 an attempt was made to organize a small but INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT. effective state force. For several years sufficient appropriations were made and the militia flourished. Soon, however, public attention was directed to other matters and the interest in our cit izen soldiery languished. As a result, later legislatures have failed to make appropriations sufficient to keep our militia in an effec tive condition. The men who entered the militia companies and assumed the responsibilities laid upon them by the statutes had a right to expect that the State would be true to its promise and keep faith with its soldiers. The militia say that while they have been required to obey the laws.the State has failed to give them that support which they have a right to claim under the statutes. In chapter 29, pub lic laws of 1869,it is provided that "The State shall supply a coat, cap, overcoat and pantaloons to each soldier," etc., and that ''the above enumerated articles of clothing shall be supplied once in three years." Under this act the First Regiment was organized. A part of the clothing was issued, but the soldiers were never supplied with overcoats as the law required. In 1876, when, according to the law as then existing, the sol diers of the First Regiment, and, perhaps some unattached com panies, were entitled to new uniforms, the Legislature amended the law of 1869 by substituting the word.five for three, so that in stead of furnishing the soldiers with uniforms once in three years~ as the law required when the men enlisted, the State proposed to furnish them once in "five years, reckoning from April 1st, 1873." By the provisions of this act of 1876, the militia were entitled to new uniforms in April, 1878. But, although the Committee on Military Affairs recommended an appropriation for the purpose of uniforming the militia, the recommendation was disregarded and no appropriation was made. [See Journal of Senate 1878, page 292.] The Legislature of 1879 also failed to provide for uniforming the militia. By the act of 1865, it was provided that each commander of division shall annually order an encampment of his division, etc. This statute was subsequently modified by striking out "shalf, and substituting "may." In 1878, the militia served dunng the encampment without pay; and this year no encampment was ordered. It will be readily perceived that the whole legislaticm has been 4 50 INSPECTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, adverse to the milita. The State virtually entered into a contract with the militia to provide arms, equipments, clothing and pay in consideration that the militia would enlist and hold themselves in readiness to perform the duties required them by law. The militia insist that they have always performed all the duties required by them while the State has failed to furnish supplies and money to the militia as promised by statute. The militia feel aggrieved by this action of the State aud say that it has not kept faith with them. A great State cannot afford to break its faith under the plea of economy. It is respectfully submitted that these facts should be brought to the attention of the Legislature. If this is done, I feel the fullest confidence that such action will be taken as will be honorable to the State and satisfactory to the militia. Some definite policy in regard to the militia should be adopted and steadily pursued. The due execution of the laws depends finally, under all forms of government, upon physical force. Under our system, a State militia is ot the utmost importance. The several states compoHing the union are properly jealous of any interference in their domestic affairs by the national government. But, unless the State has the power to enforce the due execution of its own laws, it invites and necessarily depends upon the national forces in case the civil power is unable to enforce its mandates. Your obedient servant, S. CLIFFORD BELCHER, Inspector General. P.AYM.ASTER GENER.AL'S REPORT. No money has been paid out by me as Acting Paymaster Gen eral for the present year. There has been paid since the commencement of the year 1861, for State bounties war of 1861, $4-,658,538. The militia law expressly says that the militia shall be inspected each year, and the sum to be paid for such inspection is also stated. The companies had been inspected by General Belcher, and I drew from the Treasury $1000 for the purpose of paying them, when my authority to do this was questioned. Some of the officers connected with the militia claimed that though it was only right and just that they should be paid according to the law of 1865, Still, as it had not been the practice to pay for inspec tion, I should not be justified in expending the money for that pur pose. I therefore returned it to the Treasury and leave the matter· to be decided by my successor. S. D. LEAVITT, Actz'ng Paymaster General. APPENDIX. STATE OF MAINE.
