took charge of. On coming 10 place
where certain poles were firmly erected
in the ground, with wires passing over
them, the attention OF the newcomer
seemed to be excited, az he stood gnzlng

CARRYING WEhPONs.-lt iS very com
mon for sage morallStS to rrprohate the
practice Of carrying weapons about the
streets. No doubt they are actuated hy
proper motives, | ut they are prone To
overlook the real cause Of the practice. -
They set out with the idea, that men con
ceal weapons about their persons with the
intention of assnu ting some one, provided
they have the least provocation. But it
ia no such thing. 1t is from craven fear,
and if any white livered, clustering cow
ard ia afraid to walk the streets unless
armed TO the teeth, he is to he pitled ra-
ther than blamed, and who would deprive
him of his liberty and shut him up within
the walls Of house, because he fears
to GO abroad unless loaded down with
pistols and bowie knives. Different men
are different constituted, and if one man
with the ordinary attributes of courage
and GOODNESS feels perfectly safe, II does
not fol ow that a foolish captain Bobadil,
with FOOLS tongue and coward's heart,
should not feel it dangerous to walk across
the Plaza without at least seven shots in
the locker and big knife to fal back
upon. If such psrsOns do by chance get
into an affray the only safe person near
them is the one they are quarre ing with,
for the trembling hand of an arrant cow
ard is too unsteady to point weapon at
the object sought to he destroyed. And
though sometimes two such characters get
into an affray together, they confrive to
shoot some innocent outsider rather than
each other.
1t appears tn m to us, to he the heighth
Of uncharitaheness to attribute the prac-
tice which some people have of going
armed, to offensive intentions. 1t should
bs rather ascribed to fear, and it man is
afraid to go about without weapons should
he be deprived of the privilege of going
about ut ALP That would be hard, and
we therefore are disposed to favor some
ordinance of this kind-that all persons
wishing to carry weapons should take out
q license for the privilege, and that they
should make affidavit that they are pos
sessed Of weak nerves and cowardIy
spirits, and do not feel safe unless they
are fiercely armed. Ii would he well,
TOO, to have the names Of al such persons
published so that the public could know
who they are, and knowing their weak
ness avoid them, and never show any de-
nonstration towards them calculated to
disturb their shattered nerves. We ear
nestIy recommend the plan to the con
sderation of the City Fathers. ALA.

The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1853-04-14

The-Speaker addressed the Houae in favor of
the appropriation to the North Branch canal.
the Portage road and the Columbia road. lie
was also in favor Of the sale ofthe public works;
but inasinuch as it was not certain that any
sale could be effected he was in favor of the an
preparations. lie went for all together, and
thought ail the requests fer money should be
complied with, until it was ascertaiIled what dis
position would be made Of the project to sell the
Emain line Of the public works; and if all the an
preparations could not be carried together he
hoped none Of them wopld succeed. As it was.
the only safe course was to pass the appropria-
ton, and it the bill for the sale passed the ap-
preparation could be stricken from the bill.
Mr.. hiibourn contended that those who refu-
sed to vote money for the Portnge road, and still
required that additional appropriation to the
Columbia road, were inconsistent. inasmuch as
with the Portage road, the whole Columbia road
would be utterly useless, and Lancaster county
be left-in its original poverty.
Mr.. Strong thought the gentleman from West
moreland, (AIr Cook understood preaching
better than legislation, and words of fancy bet
ter than figures. He then went into an exami-
nation of the facts and statistics as connected
with the revenue received from the public works,
and insisted that without such revenue the State
would he hclFlessly and hopelessly without rem
edv. On this gro2nd he III ged the appropria
tiou for the completion of the North Branch ca
nal He also urged the appropriation to the
Portage road, it being necessary to induce the
purchase contemplated by the bill introduced
to- that purpose
Nj. CoGk replied, and pursued his remarks in
yndication of he statement and arguments he
had previously bI ought before the House. He
yindicated the citizens of Westmoreland from
all the charges which had heen alleged against
them officers of the public works.
The question was then taken on Mr.. Flani- !
gems amendment as modified, and wGs, yeas

AFTERNrnN SESSION.

The appropriation blu was then taken up on
the amendment offered by Mr.. Hart during the
morning session.
Mr.. Henderson was opposed to any further
appropriation to the North Branch canal or the
Portage road ifit was seriously intended TO pass
bill for the sale Of the public works
Mr.. Eyster thought it time to stop with fur
ther appropriations on the Portage road unless
it was better managed; and with good managers
of private business men with ordinary capacity.
it would so be treated. The State had lost en-
ough without losing another half million as
contemplated by this bill.
Mr.. Flauigen said he was opposed to the am
endment, and hardly had made up his mind
what his course would be finally in relation to
this Portage road. If it could be shown, ias he
thought it could be- that it was economy TO
abandon the expenditure already made on that
road, then 1t would be both prudence and sound
judgment 10 stop: but how far it might be expe-
dient to proceed on that portion of the road
which had avoided TWO Of the planes was a qucs-
ton to be settled.
Mr.. KiIbourn viewed the contest in relation
to the appropriation, n contest between the
Pennsylvania railroad company and the State
improvements That corporation was a power
ful antagonist to contend with. and there was a
manifest attempt to monopolize the trade, by
throwing it from the public works to the
Panrs vlvania- rt,ils,oad i.
Mr.. Strong spoke st considerable length in
support Of the amendments. He insisted that
there was no rivalry between the Central rail
road and the State Improvements but one be-
tween the States north and south of us which
were now competing for the trade Of the great
west. He deemed it Of the utmost importance
that the appropriation should be made. The
amendment was then agreed to-
And the amendment offered by Mr.. Kilbourr
as amended was agreed to, yeas G5 nays %,
Adjourned.
