The Arms Swindle. We print to-day the history give a by the Joint Investigating Committee, in their re? port, of the Biog swindles in ennection with the enrolment and organizati >n o? the militia, and the employment of an armed force "for the preservation of the p? ace." The State was profoundly tranqui , but by Joint Resolutions of the General A, sembly, under date of February 8 and March 15, 1869, Governor Scott was authorized "to employ "an armed force (of one hundred meo or "more) for the preservation of the peace," and "to purchase two thousand stand of "arms of the most improved pattern; pro? vided that a serviceable and satisfactory "arm cannot be procured from the United "States." The Adjutant-General o? the State, Speaker F. J. Moses, obtained without difficulty from the Secretary of War, General Rawlins, ten thousand Springfield rifles as a gift to the State. There was, the efore, no necessity nor authority for purchasing the two thousand stands of arms contemplated by the Joint Resolution of March 16, 1869; but one thousand Winchester rifles were or? dered to be bought, and the ten thousand Springfield rifles, as soon as delivered, were sent to the North to be converted into breech-loaders. The entire cost of the or? ganization of the militia, and of the purchase and alteration of arms, is given, by the com? mittee, as follows : EurolmenL^and organization of the Militia.$108,472 Expenses of thc armed force for the presentation, or the peace... j-. 23,747 OflEQ THO TIS ti 11 t?" i LI uti wt (J i-rltfrtr Wi QT * ~~" ' ' ammunition. 38,780 Adjutant-General's Department. 13,000 State Constabulary. 33,463 Alteration of ten thousand Spring fled muskets and ammunition. 202,002 Total.$420,073 This amount, as shown by the committee, is equal to a capitation tax of S2 75 upon the whole voting population of the Stale. There was no earthly authority for the ex? penditure of this vast sum. Where did the money go tor The Joint Committee say that the large sums, charged as militia ex? penses, were used in paying the expenses of the friends and hired advocates of Governor Scott, to secure whose re-election, in 1870, about one hundred thousand dollars of the State funds are believed to have been em? ployed. Bat the most glaring robbery is detected by the committee in the job of converting the ten thousand Springfield muskets into -breech-loader^ The muskets were thor? oughly serviceable, and the only object in converting them was to give Governor Scott, Treasurer Parker and Speaker Moses what they call "commissions," but which we call "stolen moneys of the State." Con? tracts were made with the Roberts Breech loading Arms Company for the conversion o'five thousand muskets, at SS 85 each, and and with the Remington Arms Company for the conversion of the remaining five thou? sand muskets at $9 each; also, with the American Metallic Ammunition Company for one million cartridges at $37 a thousand. The amount of the three contracts was : Roberts Arms Company.$ 44,250 Remington Arms Company. 43,000 Metallic Ammunition Company. 37,000 Tota'.$126,250 But the amount charged was $202,602. What became of the difference of $76,000, if we may assume that the sums contracted for were really paid? The committee can only say that they are assured that $20,000 of the plunder was paid to Treasurer Parker. The committee, however, print allidavits showing that a commission of $76,000, upon a nominal outlay of $202,000, did not satisfy the rapacity of the Ring. Mr. Isaiah Woodbury, of No. 48 Broadway, New York, who was, at different times, the Treasurer of the Roberts Arms Company and of the American Ammunition Company, sw?ars that his company were furnishing | cartridges to oiher parlies at $31 a thousand at the time it was agreed to supply Scott, Moses & Co. at $37 a thousand ; that the Roberts Arms Company gave receipts for $44,250, while they only received $2500; that the American Ammunition Company gave receipts for $37,150, while they only re? ceived $21,817; that the actual work of con? verting the arras was to be done by the Providence Tool Company, who were to be paid $6 a gun. The further statements of the Joint Committee enable us to gauge the plundering. For the work done by the Roberts Arms Company there was nomi? nally paid $8 85 a gun, but the amount actually paid was $6 50 a gun, viz: 50 cents to the Rober;8 Arm Company and $6 to the Providence Tool Company. For the work done by the Remington Arms Com? pany the price nominally paid was $9 a gun, bat the price actually paid, taking the other payments cs a ?aide, did not exceed $6 a j gan. The commissions demanded cf the American Ammunition Company were $13, 872. These give the following result : Stealage of $2 35 upon 5000 guns of Roberts Arms Company.$ 11,750 Stealage of $3 upon 5000 guns ol Remington Arms Compauy. 15,000 Commissions on one million cart lidges..'. ...^. 13,172 Stealage as commission?.$ 39.922 Add difference between nominal amount of contracts ($120,000) and amount charged the State ($202, 602) lor tbe conversion of arms . 76,000 TOTAL STEALAGE UPON $202.602. .$115,92? We charge, therefore, that Governor Scott, Treasurer Parker and Speaker Moses, in the so-called conversion of arms, swindled the State out of S115.922; and that Governor Scott, os principal, and Speaker and Adju? tant-General Moses, a3 accomplice, swindled the people by diverting to electioneering pur? poses the public funds of the State.
