THE CONCEALED WEAPON BILL.
Mr.. Cleveland, in accordance with
notice, moved to reconsider the vote by
which tho bill to prohibit the carrying
of concealed weapons passed yesterday.
Mr.. Wright, who was absent yester-
day, said no understood there was a
provision in it which prohibited the
carrying of n weapon if n person were
travelling less than 80 miles.
Tho Speaker said there was no such
thing in tho bill /; n person could carry
all tho arms he wanted to.
Mr.. Woodwork said he thought the
gentleman from Ormsby Mr.. Wright
had not had q fair answer to his
question. It was truc that no man had
q right under this bill TO carry Icon
ceslsd weapon unless he was on n 30
miles journey.
Mr.. Wright was so informed, and
shall therefore vote for n reconsidera-
ton. For my part l think n man ought
to havo tho right to carry arms in going
to Virginia. We are liable to DO stopped
in going thore, and I arm myself in
doing so, md l do not wish to DO
obliged to carry my weapons in sight.
Mr.. Mills-Can any man tell me of an
instance in which n man protected him
self from a highwayman by tho carrying
of a concealed weapon?

fcrs to me, | will simply say that | have
twice saved my bacon in that way.
