Policemen and sheir Weapons.

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
In former and more primitive times the Off
GERS patroled the city with a largecane, as their
arm ofoffense and defense. Later, as the offend
ers of the peace invented and used the "slung
shot" "a most dangerous and effective instru-
ment) so the policeman had to throw away his
stick, and use his loaded billy" to back IN his
demand for submission, OF dispersion: and this
strilsingiy eloquent persuader of the peaee is
now used more than any other Formerly
pistol was rarely if ever, carried or used even
by rascals of any class; but few years have
wrought an entire change, and revolvers are
as plenty and cheap as once they were scarce
and costly. Every half grown boy, with put
lew exceptions, has one, and Is 1amiiiar WIN
its use. Every rascal, drunk or sober, car
ries one and as a natural result uses it on slight
as well as on important occasions; as was re-
Gently the case with the fellow Ham, who shot
the two Browns through the lungs.
Now this state of things caused in great
degree by the war through which we have just
passed. and which has familiarized every rough
with violence and blood, and by the slight fines
which are imposed as punishment upon those
who resist and interfere with the officers, with
weapons other than knives and pistols. These
fines practically amount to immunity, for they
| are usually paid in the end by assessment or
made upby the voluntary contributions of the
| fraternity 1t is a common saying among them,
& don't care d-n; it will cost only ten dollars
| or SO to punch or rock policeman orclt'zen.
These facts have forced large numbers OF our
private citizens, as well as officials, to carry re-
volvers in order to protect themselves from evil
men, and keen the peace enforce the laws and
compel respect and submission from those who
would. as well as those who do offend against
| the rightfully constituted protectors OF pupfc
and private tranquility, life and property.
A few differences and close. First, among
the qualifications of an effective officer in these
DAYS, the one that lies at the foundation of all
others. without which the others are inopera-
tive, is, that he should be willing to fight, in
the performance of his duty, either Extensively
or Extensively just as the case may demand
| Second, that the public should uphold the Of
ficers in taking firm and efficient means at all
hazards to secure respect and submission to
their authority. Lastly, the public should de-
mand more stringent law afixing to resist
| ance and interference Jail and prison penal
ty instead of fines, at present, and thus deter
| large class, who on pay days like to get
drunk ana go free, and lose, pay ng their fine
| but who would be very careful if they should
have to go to Jail and thereby lose their place
of employment; and thus do away with large
number OF pettifogging lawyers who for a
greater or smaller consideration, on the plea of
shielding the innocent, do all they can to shield
and clear the guilty, and thus do as much or
more injury to the public than the other and
more open class. 2. p.

LORD DERBY AND THE ALABAMA CLAIMS

LORD DERBY AND THE ALABAMA CLAIMS
From the following extract from Lord Derby's
Speech at the Lord Mayors dinner it would
seem that the London Times interpreted his
language with some liberality, in describing it
as an intimation that propositions for the ar.
ragement of the Alabama claims would be fay
orably entertained:
We rejoice to see the return of peace With
regard to that great country, our natural friend,
our relation, L may call it-that great republic
across the Atlantic-the storm of war has in
oeed ceased there, but the surface nay, may

great and powerful nation, which has made
sucn glorious efforts for the purpose of keeping
down the burden of debt which that war has
entailed on its national fnances-which is max

Ar. there any Voter. i'm Massachusetts.

Are there any Voters i'm Massachusetts
The New Bedford Mer ury has discovered a
mares nest, and the Argus is so delighted that
it copies the important announcement at
length. The Mercury wants to know, mas
much as the second section of the pending con-
stitutioual amendment declares that the basis
of representation in each State shall be reduc-
ed In proportion to the number of male citi-
zens whose right to vote is abridged, except for
crime, whether the adoption of the amendment
by State like Massachusetts, which requires
of 8 voters the payment of a tax and evidence
of ability to read and write, will leave any ba-
sis of representation at all. The Mercury
thinks not, and the Argus cheerfully comedies
in that opinion. 1t may perhaps be correctly
asserted that by the terms of the amendment
all paupers, persons under guardianship, AID
persons who cannot read and write are to be
counted out of the basis of representation. But
to assert that the rights of people who pay
taxes and can read and write are abridged by
the law of Massachusetts, is nonsense. The
conditions do not apply to nor affect them, in
any way. If there are any voters in Massa-
chusetts now, and the election returns look
like it, there is pretty broad basis of repre-
sentation under the amendment, if it should be
adopted,

A pisapnoin,ed Petitioner.

1t must be very agreeable thing to be one
of the City Relief Committee. If ever set of
mortals were made to realize with entire dis
tinctness the impossibility of suiting every
body, certainly these patient workers for the
good of others may be supposed to do so. The
following may serve as sample of the agree
able incidents by which their labors are con-
stantly enlivened. 1t may be well enough to
remark that the writer is well known as per-
son who has been receiving relief for some time
under false pretenses. These having been de-
tected, the last application failed hence the
