phatic language In denouncing tlie habit of
wearing deadly weapons concealed alxxit

It Is a matte# of deepest regret than so
many of our citizens indulge in Lite repre-
Jiensible practice of carrying conccuh-d
weapon*. This sliouid lx- discountenanced
by all g<vxi men. It is a cowardly practice,
for it is not to be presumed tliat any citizen
in the daily diachargc of his duties walks
forth with sn armory l/eltcd ar'xind him.
A man armed with a bowie-knife and pi*,
tol has the a< I vantage of one unprepared for
an assault, and no geo tinman would take
advantage of saeh an tnteipm) contest. We
can only that a dastard or tmvn£i
wottld do an. { W have a law against this
deUMtabk; practice, and 1 hope it will be
rigidly enforagd. None should bn exempt

of our people demands this ; many a help,
