Twenty one cartridge box belts. Twenty three bayonet scabbards. Twenty waist-belts. Four sergeant swords and belts, by Lieutenant William Pitcher, of the " Trenton City Guards," Trenton, Mercer Brigade. There have been received the following military equipments from the Ordnance oflSce, at Washington, on account of the annual quota of arms due to the State of New Jersey, under the Act of Congress for arming the militia of the several States : September 6th, 1855. 100 artillery swords. 28 50 flo...n-comraission officer's swords. 100 sword belts, artillery, new pattern, black. 50 sword belts, non-commissioned, double frogs, black. 50 sword belt plates. 500 infantry cartridge box belts, black. 500 waist-belts, one-and-a-half-ineh, black. 500 waist-belt plates. December 20th. 5 cannon locks, for giins. I would respectfully call your excellency's attention to the law requiring annual reports from the brigade inspectors. By the act establishing a military system, approved April seventeenth, eighteen hundred and forty-six, section twenty- one, it is made the duty of the brigade inspectors " to inspect the arms and accoutrements of the militia of the several bri- grades, and to make returns annually," among other things, " on or before the first day of September, to the adjutant-gene- ral, the actual situation of the arms and accoutrements, &c., of the several corps," and by the ninety-fourth section of the same act it is made the duty of the quartermaster-general an- nually " to compare the returns made by the respective brigade inspectors of the number and condition of the public arms and equipments in the respective regiments, with the number actually loaned to such regiments," and he is also required in the first week of every session of the legislature, '* to lay be- fore them a particular return of all the arms and equipments belonging to the state, the number loaned out, in whose hands, and whether they remain under proper responsibilities." By reason of the neglect on the part of the several brigade Inspectors to make their annual reports, as required by law, I am not in the possession of reliable facts upon which I can communicate any satisfactory information to the legislature of the number and condition of the public arms and equipments loaned out, in whose hands, and whether they remain under proper responsibilities.
