rhs Use OF Deadly Weapona.


The authorities Of Cincinnati have authorized the po
lice to arrest and bring before them all persons who shall
be found carrying concealed or deadly weapons Inns
order has been given under law which was passed du-
ring the last session of the Legislature and which took
effect on the first of the present month 1t makes 1t
msdemeanor to carry pistol, boweknife dirk, any
other concealed weapon under penalty or tine not ex
ceediEg two hundred dollars, and imprisonment OF
not than thirty days for the first offence The Sc
cond is punished still more severely. Commenting upon
this wholesome law, the Philade phia Inquirer says
"a similar law should be enacted and enforced in
every State in the Union. Scarcely day goes by in
which we are called upon to record the particulars
Of some rghtul scene often terminating in boodshed
and DEATH and caused in most cases by the sudden and
fearful use of deadly weapons The practice is at once
cowardly and mnrderous 1t prevails, too, sorry
to say to alarming extent. This is particularly the
in the South and Southwest and even the leading
cities of the North, such New York, Philadelphia
and Baltimore are disgraced by bands of rufans, who
organize themselves into clubs and associations, with Of
ensve and wicked Objects and go about, by day
well night armed to the teeth and prepared for
the fell work of violence and death This condition OF
affairs at once lamenabe and deplorable and the eX-
sting laws which apply to the evil cannot be too rig
idly enforced If they not sufficiently stringent 9TH
ers of suitable charactee should be adopted Doubt
less many of the young men who arm themselves with
knives and pistols do under the belief that they
merely adopting the policy of seldeence and that they
will employ these dangerous weapons unless they
are attacked but tney orget the tect6 Vi excitement
lnemperance, rashness, and bravado and thus it not
unfrequeny happens that they discover too late that
they have imbrued their hands in the blood OF fellow
being. We told that in this city organizations
exist in which every member when he ventures abroad
after nighta, carries concealed and deadly weapons.
Anmosities have sprung up against rival associa-
ton, threats have been uttered feelings of vengeance
have been stimulated and thus the idea is nculcated
thu knives bludgeons pistols, and similar weapons must
be worn matter OF prudence and precaution. Al
this is wrong, and the effects but be deporabe
1t may harsh assertion, and yet it stikes that
every individual who makes it habit to carry deadly
weapons upon his person spirit of ncpient
murder The practice is vile, base and dasardly anc
authorities cannot exercise much vigilance il
bringing it to an end The arrest and punishment OF
few offenders would doubtless exercise sanitary nfu
ence."

MEssRs EDITORS Your paper ia extensively cir
cuated through the country, and your Prices Current
convey information to many readers who have no other
report of the market therefore it important that the
report should be correct nearly so as possible
Ever since the new crop OF Virgin Turpentne has been
coming in it has been reported at five dollars Now,
every one who knows how much Spirits and Rosn a
barrel of Virgin Turpentine will make, and every
who distlls it knows that the nett proceeds of these will
not be worth the cost of the Turpentineeven if the
Rosin sells at the highest rates. which very seldom is
the case 1t is understood by country dser that the
price of Virgin Turpentne is thus kept up nomiaally
by town dstlers for the purpose OF inurng them but
that fact, brings this price, it being understood
by said town dstlers and inspectors that it is to be
closely inspected that the price shall not exceed four
dollars say this is understood by country distillers
who are SO advised by Wilmington commission mer-
chants but while it understood by the distlers the
producers of the Turpenne having correspondents in
town. and no information about prices except from
ket reports in the papers, do not understand it until they
learn the fact from experience The effect of alLthis is
to get the Turpeptine to town for the benefit of few
dstiers, who impose upon producers, and njure the
dsters in the country, who have other way to in
spect barrel of Virgin Turpentine but to make it what
it is if merchantabe-viz: Virgin Turpentine.
It should be considered by every commission merchant
of Wilmington lho is not disler) part his duty
to expose this state of affairs if it does really exist and
it would be for their interest," too, for if country disters
driven from the market, consgnments must fall OF
in consequence and country dsers, in their consgn-
ing produce, should patronize those commission mer-
chants who do not thus cOnspre against them. And
you Messrs. Editors should in justice TO country peo
pie who rely upon the reports in your paper ascertain
the truth n regard to this matter and let it be known
in your market report. have thus written, presumng
the advces of merchants to be correct if erroneous

BILLIARD TALK-PRoBA B1L1TEs OF ANOTHER MATCH
-MR. PHELAN AND THE LADIES OF MOUNT VERNON
FUND.-The Detroit papers, and the people generally,
in that section of the country appear to think that al
though defeated in the late contest Mr. Seereier is yet
able to vanqush Mr. Phelan, and press the wish for
another encounter. As stated in former article in te
Express, Mr.. Phean has no desire to play any more
match games, more especially with American players
AS before stated, if Mr. Roberts, of England or Mons
Borgess. of France visits the United States Mr. Phean
would be delighted to test his capabilities with either or
both of them.
Although no formal challenge has been received from
Mr. Seereiter, without the verbal offer to make match
to Mr. Phelan before leaving Detroit be considered
as such, vet since his return TO New York Mr. Phean
has been waited upon by citizen of Detroit, who was
of Mr. Seeroters late hackers whose aim in an in
teryiew with Mr.. Phean was to learn if challenge
would be accepted. Mr.. Phelan again reiterated bis
repugnancc 10 match games, and more especially his
aversion to being again brought in contact with this
man Secreitcr but emphatcay remarked that if again
driven into such position, he would give Mr. Seereiter
and his friends cause to regret their rashness
Mr.. Phelan yesterday rsce vel q letter from Miss
Montgomery the Secretary of the Mount Vernon Fund
congratuatng him on his recent success and ntimaed
that it had been understood that portion of the re-
cepts received for admission to Firemans Hall was to
be devoted to the noble purpose to which these
were giving their time ard energies MI Phelan i'm
mediaey replied to her communication and at the same
time forwarding the statement of the Janitor Of the Hail.
by which, instead Of there being surplus Mr.. PheaE
is brought in debt $40. At the same time Mr.. Phean
endorsed certified check for $780, and an offer to fur
nish table and first class players for an exhibition at
any time and place the ladies might select the whole
proceeds to be devoted to the Mount Vernon Fund.
Such an exhibition could be readily gotten up say at
the Academy Of Music, and it could undoubtedly be
filled at So SO ticket each ticket admitting gentle
man and his party Of ladies. By this means several
thousand dollars could be- derived for the Mount Vernon
Fund, and the universal wish to witness Mr.. Pheans
skill be gratifed NEW YORKER
