distributed among the militia; but where these arms are, or what has been done with them, no one can tell; nor has the quarter-master-general been able to get any satisfactory information from the officers on the subject. It is believed, from other sources of information, that the light companies in many instances have been broken up, the arms delivered to them destroyed, converted to private use, or carried to other states by persons removing. In this way our loss in public property, of this kind, must amount to twenty or thirty thousand dollars. According to an estimate recently made at the ordnance department, about one thousand muskets rare due this state; of which, about fifty boxes, with accoutrements, have, within the last month, arrived at Madison. These arms are .worth, at first cost, near fourteen thousand dollars; and as the impolicy of

distributing them, as heretofore, has long since been so apparent as to induce many states to provide a safe depository, instead of delivering them to the militia, would it not be advisable for Indiana to adopt a similar policy, at least, until we can get some further account of those already distributed? The session before last, I endeavored to point out some of the prominent defects in our probate system, and as a remedy, proposed that the business be transferred to the circuit courts, and that in consequence of the increased duties, the judges' salaries should be raised to one thousand dollars. Satisfied with the recommendation thenmade,! beg leave-now to reiterate it. In point of expense, it may safely be said, that the increased salary of the circuit judges will require less from the treasury than is now paid to the probate judges. The present session is the period fixed by the constitution for making a new and .equal apportionment of senators and representatives, among the several counties in the state. In complying with the requisition, you will unavoidably encounter such difficulties as arise from the great disparity in the size and population of the counties, and that reluctance which is naturally felt to any diminution in the number heretofore sent, which may be necessary to a just and equal apportionment. In acting upon the subject, it should be remembered that a numerous body is not the best, either for harmony, deliberation, or despatch; and should your present number be materially increased, you may lessen the usefulness and business capacity of the body. During the past summer the foreign laborers unon the line of the canal, resusci tated some of their old animosities, which so often were the cause of collision in their native country, Ireland, and while under great excitement, from five to sev en hundred on a side assembled for sev eral days, armed for battle, to the great terror of the citizens of that vicinity, lo prevent recurrences of the evil, the punishment known to our criminal laws for riotous conduct should be increased in pro portion to such offences. There are several subjects within the range of my official duties which may call for a special communication; should the necessity arise I will avail myself of that mode; in the mean time, I assure you of my readiness to unite with you, in any measure calcnlated to elevate the state, andbenefit her citizens.
