1t is only whore death ensues that the attention
Of the public Is drawn to these occurrences,
and the question Is asked why do not the police
attend more strictly to the law against carry
ing concealed weaponsf For our part, we
believe 1t would be the grand preventive
against such scenes Of bloodshed and would
be the means of doing away with at least
seventy-fve per cent Of all our shooting and
stabbing cases. Let the police arrest all those
whom they suspect Of violating this law, and
deprive them Of the means Of indulginr in
these ARRAYS. Make occasional raids upon
corner loafers, gamblers, young men about
town, and evil-disposed persons generally
they are all known to the police--and let the
authorities make an example Of those found
violating the law, and, take our word for It,
there will be less bloodletting and fewer
Frierys. The police have perfect right 10
search for deadly weapons, and 1t only requires
an order from the Commissioners or Superin-
tendent to have the thing done. Frequently
policemen themselves como in for Q share Of
the assassin's steel, and, a. q matter Of self
protection, they ought to see that the law
against carrying concealed weapons is enforced.

be worse than the man who is inearcerated In
Fortress Monroe" JEFF Davis then, accord
ing to Thad Stevens, is a better man than
Andrew Johnson. Yet Davis was at the head o.
the rebellion, and johnson manfully battled
against II and was one Of the most staunch
friends Of the Union in its darkest days. "But,"
continues Stevens, a. had hoped that the blood
Of half million Of our citizens and the ex.
penditure Of Eve billions Of money would have
induced the destroying angel to put up his
sword. We have not yet done justice TO the
oppressed race" Then we are to infer from

TIE SPEECH or GEMRAL Dir AT PHn.ADEL-
PHn.-We republish this morning the speech
Of General Dix, delivered ut the opening OF
the Philadelphia Convention. As this was the
key note to the whole proceedings Of that body
and truthfully represents the position Of the
Convention on the issues now before the coun-
try, Il Il OF sufficient interest 10 bear frequent
republication during the present campaign.
Several errors occurred In the transmission Of
the speech over the wires. We therefore furnish
our readers with revised copy, thus enabling
them to better appreciate the feelings and SEN
tments Of this great statesman and orator.
The sentiments there expressed are those o.
an old democrat who has participated In some
Of the most important events In the history Of
our country. They are the words OF man
who was among the FIRST to offer bis services
when the Southern rebellion threatened the
life Of the nation, and who IL now found IN the
foremost ranks Of those who are rallying to
put down the Northern radicals faction en-
gagged in trying to complete the work which
the secessioriists of the South failed to accom-
plsh. II gives us In short, concise and iorcible
manner, the whole question at issue, and that,
too, In much more clear and comprehensive
way than the long address written BY Raymond.
General Dix speaks like man who understands
the question and has nothing to conceal and
cover up; while Raymond, being member Of
the revolutionary Congress and frequently
voting for the measures Of Thad Stevens, was
compelled to tread lightly upon the record and
resort to cireumlocusion in treating upon their
actions to prevent condemnation OF himself
The speech OF General Dix is not open to any
such objection, but Is an outspoken, comprchen-
sive ana complete exposition Of the issues now
before the people. II is Of a far higher order

The FEHRY ExEcUTIoN-A HINT TO TIE Pc
LIcs.-The moral effect Of the late execution at
the Tombs will be felt through the length and
breadth Of this great metropolis, and will do
more towards checking rowdyism, perhaps
than anything that has happened for years
Friery was the true type Of New York rowdy,
who, regardless Of all law, allowed himself to be
led from one excess to another, until in an evil
hour his hands were stained with human blood,
and he found himself at the bar Of justice
charged with the awful crime Of murder. Ex-
perience teaches US that nearly all our great
crimes are committed by just such young men
as Fricry. They commence by INDUCING in
drunkenness, fighting and night brawling gene
RAINY. Armed as they invariably are with
knives and pistols, skirmishes occur nightly,
and the only wonder IL that treble the number
Of murders are not committed. Day after day
and year after year they become accustomed TO
deeds Of bloodshed and violence, until finally
there is no crime that they will stop at TO crafty
their evil passions. In the long run the law IL
bound TO overtake the offenders, and justice,
slow but unerring, Is metcd out TO them accord
ing to their deserts.
There was time when rowdyism nourished
as an institution In this city, when the "b'hoys"
Of New York were only equalled in villany by
the killers" Of Philadelphia and the "plug
uglies" Of Baltimore but, thank God, that time
has passed, and we have comparatively an
orderly population. Still there remains great
deal 10 be done to prevent the sporadic cases
Of rowdyism and bloodshed that yet occur.
The strict enforcement Of the law againrt car
rving coEsssieS we sn Would do more p ssr
h,ps towards the prevention Of this class Of
crime than anything else that we could sug-
gest. II Is an offence against the statute for
persons to 20 armed with slungshots, knives,
pistols or other deadly weapons but very few
pay any attention &c the law, and The result Is
a sSoot,og or ss;aoplns osss siSoss every day.

land, whose mind Is not blinded by partisan
views, who can read the noble and patriotic
sentiments found in that speech without feeling
. thrill in the innermost recesses Of his soul.
The President announces to his countrymen
that be has taken his stand upon the broad
principles Of the constitution, and upon chat
great charter Of our liberties, civil and rcli-
gious freedom, he appeals to them to rally to
his support and In defence Of the Union. An
appeal 80 stirring, 80 effective, can hardly be
made in vain. He tells us that we are threat
ened with q despotism through efforts at GEN.
trallzation which, II allowed to be carried
out, will lead to monarchy ITSELF He tells us
that radical Congress are encroaching, "step
by step, upon constitutional rights, and are
violating the fundamental principles Of the
government" For resisting this he IL heaped
with abuse and vituperation Of the most viii
famous character by . radical press and de-
nounced as worse traitor than JET Davis.
Yet In the face Of all this he refuses to
accept the power which the radicals
attempted TO thrust upon him, which would
have enabled him to hold the whole country
at his mercy and exercise . sway over the in
terests Of the nation far beyond that now pos
sessed by any European monarch. Would he
but consent to use this power and override the
constitution none would be more anxious to
sound his praise and proclaim their approval
than the same radical Congress and radical
press which now defame him. The lesson 10
be derived from oil this II the great fact that
we have reached an important crisis In the
affairs Of the republic. The issues which divided
the political parties In the past have oil been
wiped out by the memorable logic Of events. A
new epoch has commenced and . contest been
inaugurased In which !. aevolyes upon The
people TO decide whether they shall end in the
disruption Of the Union, the permanent alienn-
ton Of one section from The other, or in a COM
pletc reconciliation and restoration Of the coun-
try under one Gag, one Union of States and one
government for all Shall we have union and
consti utlonal liberty, or dsunion, despotism,
anarchy and ruin This IL the momentous

REPEAL OF THE REAL ESTATE TAX
Both branches of our Legislature have passed.
a bill repeating the State tax heretofore levied
on real estate, and in lieu thereof have author
lied the taxation OF the stock of every bank
to the amount Of one per centum, and three
fourths OF one per centum on the gross
receipts OF every railroad. canal, or transpor-
tation company Incorporated by the laws of
Pennsylvania. The State tax upon real
estate was light, but as it was mainly assessed
and collected from residents of large cities,
and especially from Philadelphians, its repeal
will go far towards ameliorating the present
municipal tax of four per centum on real estate.
1t is a step, too, towards the establishment of
a proper system of taxation-that of levy
ing upon corporations and companies,
instead of the masses. From the former
large sums are easily and cheaply obtained,
and the extra expen nse to them is drawn from
the masses of the people. To tax real estate,
and at the same time to allow the one on cor
porations to continue in force is, simply to
tax them twice, which is manifestly wrong.
1t is in this way only that taxation can be-
come oppressive in free country. Our pre-
sent system Of municipal taxes might be
measu1ably improved if, after the reduction
of our Internal Revenue levy, a poll
tax could be arranged for and col
lected. The sum needed from each indl-
vidual will be small, but the amount receipted
in the aggregate would be sufficiently large
