The Bill Forbids th? Carrying of

Twenty Inches In

Mr. Cooper's bi!! ip regulate ibo
carrying, matiufaoturlrg aud salo of
firoarms usually usod for tho ioflction
of pomonal injury, and to mako a vio
lotion of tbo sauio a misdemeanor, was
taken up in tho Ronato on Tuosday of
last wook. . Tho bill is very drastic in
its provisions, and tho o un mitt ce re
port on it was unfavorable
Sonator Graydon offered an amond
mont .waking-tho bill apply only to
pistols, and adv.Qoatod tho bill with hin
amondmont at somo longth
Sonator Aldrich thought it tho boBt
bill that has boon in(rgduood at this
sesoion. Pahlio opinion has oryntal
ized on two r oints, ho said, that whis
key ;and pistols aro roBponsiblo for
most of tho orr mo. Tho pona'ty'for
oarrying concealed wtapona is ontirely
too Jpw^ ' Ho know of no ovil in tho
StaJLo moro to bo doplorod than tho al
most, universal ouetom ol oarrying oon
ooalod weapon H . It in a most do
mbruliising and degrading thing. Tho
poh'nlty?'omniot bo made too sovoro.
Tho habit of oarrying a oonooalod woa
poti will mako a oowsrd of any man
All tho courago ho ovor had will bo
Bunk in tho barrel of his pistol, and if
ho ever gets into a row without his
pistol ho will run as sure as ho lives.
A.pistol is a dijgraooful thing, and no
man ought to bo allowed to oarry ono
whothor concealed or not. If a man
need a fire arm at all he needs a gun
and not a pistol
Sonator Henderson said ho wai as
muoh opposed to oarrying concealed
weapons as anybody, but ho thought
this proposed hw would bo. unoonsti
tutionnl, as it. forbids tho tight givon
by tho constitution .of oarrying.arms,
and ibis.bill will prol ibit us from Oar
rying p??tiols, oonooalod or cot. Thc
bill, ho thought would bo unoonefitu
iional, Omi for that toaBOn ho -"could not
VOto it. ,v
Mr. lld erl on lMsuggostcd an amodd
mont, that a' man oould not oarry
weapons "without just eauuo or ex
i otjao;'' Ho thought tho wisest thing to
' do wauld bo'to-'Btop tho importation
abd ?saio of'piatbla. l?o thought tho
bill under disousriion'should pass.
. : Boned or 'Mov,'or aualyTd t hd bill*- In
tho'first placo it absolutoly forbids a
citiaon oarrying a pistol, whothor eon
coaled or not, and a provision of that
ktaoV jot ontiroly unconstitutional. It
e|sa provides that thoro shall not bo
sold in this State a fire arm of loss than
a oprtnin ?izo and woight, HQ seriously
doubted if tho pasoago of laws on this
subjoo't', will, aooomplish muoh good.
Wi will havo to have aomothihg bo
sidos'law?;
Senator Henderson s ?id ho did not bo
lievo tho law*would do any good, that
it wouldV.be. violated just as the prosont
law : ..against : ?collocated . ' weapons is
violated.
BenaforTMayfiold olforod an amonid
m^pt. tb at n person do?i ring to oarry a
concealed weapon might obtain an .an
nual'lioonso from tho dork of court at
an annual bo'st of $50, and spoke in
favor of his amondmont. If a man
- thinks ho oqght to go armed ho ought
to bo .allowed to do no, and tho pooplo
... ougfy.t io know it. So lot him tako out
n-lioonso,'and lot ovorybody knovv. that
he has taken"out suoh a lioonso.
Senator Henderson said this amend
ment' would ?till not mako tho law con
stitutional. Tho taking out of a li
o??bQ would not protr ot anybody. Ho
nipVod 'tO strike out tho o nao tin g
wtef tbo bijl.
*Soii?tqr Graydon oon*obded that this
h?l.^uld'bie constitutional as tho lan
?i\f\gO of 'Um. constitution an to tho
right of \tJan , pooplo to . boar .arms re
ferred only to tho. militia. .. .
..Jfipinritoy Htauland thought this a moBt
important.ingasuro, and that somo law
of this kind should ho passod. Ho
. spoko pf, tho eonditions in tho lowor
counfloitj and said protection of somo
kind wan noroly nooded.
Tho vot? to nt ri ko out tho onaoting

Tho houao was somewhat eurpriaod
Thursday when Mr. Ruokor moved, io
take up from tho tablo Mr. John Mo
Mastor'o resolution of oonsuro for John
L MoLturin. This motion was net
dobatablo, but tho speaker indulged
Mr. Ruokor to (tate his position. Mr,
Ruokor said:
Mr. Spoakor: Wednesday a roBolu
tion waB laid on tho tablo without giv
ing an opportunity to thoso thatfavorod
it to givo thoir loasons for Its passage,
it wad on important ono and whilst
we who aro proeont know tho reasons
that aotuatod those who opposed tho
resolution it will bo misunderstood and
usod olsowhoro as evidonoo that tho
houso of ropresentatives endorse tho
oourso of tho Junior senator from this
State. I fool euro that not 10 por cont,
of thoso who votod against tho ros?la?,
.lion ondorso 8onator MoLaurin'o
oourso. It is noe a question of tho
advisability of tho resolution. It has
boen introduood. Tho quotation I rc
spootfully submit, to you is, shall wo
ondroso his oourso, for timt will DO tho
ostimato ; plaoed upon tho rejection of
tho resolution, lt has becta urgod ia
oonvorsation that we ought not to eon
domn him in his abBOhao. Why should
no not? .Ho has not hesitated in our
fyabsonoo to botray tho trust Wo plaoed
[Mifhim. - v'
v -Ho ran as a Demoorat in a Demo
cratic primary and ns tho result of that
election was ohoson by a Demooratio
lcgiulaturo to the aonato. ?.. >
.1 find fault, with no man hooausp of
his vot<? upoti any ono question,. ovon
i^ou^h ho:diG?g?^o* with his politic*!
aseotnatop; but when the dinagtoomont
with his party assooiatos reaohos that
point that it is heralded over the coun
try through ; tho mod i um. of tho press,
that "Senator MoLautin votod with tho
administration as is his custom" ' I
say that tho timo has oomo for us to
put on reoord our condemnation of his
oouj'f.o, and in so doing voioo tho conti
mont of those who put him where he is.
Tho junior senator's oourso has not
only boon absolutely at variatfoo with
thowell known wishes, of tho*.-people
of the Stat?, but has been inconsistent
with his own publio utteranoos. A, few
days before tho voto upon tho treaty of
Paris, Sonat?r MoLanrin said upon tho
floor of tho senato (I quoto hom mom
ory,) "I am opposed to tho ratification
of tho troaty. In my judgment it
moans the ostahlishmont of a largo
standing army whioh will be used , at
first to eon quer oolonioB abroad, and
sooner or later, will bo usod hero at
homo to ovorrido and intimidato, the
popular will." And yet after in this
solemn mannor having denounced' thc
troaty, 48 hours thereafter ho voted for
it. How thon cnn wo have any con
fid onoo in tho sonator.
I submit to you therefore, gentleman,
that there is no eourso left open tofus,
tho roBolution having boon iutroduood,
but to pass it. To do loo?.would ho to
havo tho interpretation plaoed .upon
cur oonduot that tho houso endorses
tho oonduot of Senator MoLaurin.
He was elootod ad a Domoor&t. To
all intents and purposes bo is how u
Rcpublioan. Ho is in favor of the ship
tubsidy bill, a Republican moaoure
whioh, under tho guiso of assistance tc
our oommeroo, is an unqualified raid
upon tho troasury vof tho country oi
hundreds of millions of dollars, JU
thero . any reason-and valid roasori~
why wo should not condonan him?
Doos ho re pro uo nt anything . ho wei!
?up poa od to represent whon he wat
elootod? In no sonso has he onrriod
out tho dofliron.of his constituents. ' Bql
on tho contrary ho hno violated thc
oonfidonco reposed in him. I movo-tc
take tho roao'.ution from the tablo.
