be public. As general principle Of Prussian law,
all court proceedings are open; but an exception
permits the judges, in their discretion, when pub
lefty can be noxous to the interests Of the State to
order the doors closed The Arnm case, cODct rning
as il does diplomatic papers, aud presumably State
secrets, would seem TO come under the exception.
Some time ago it was thought the Government
would propose TO exclude the public. Bat wiser
counsels have doubtless prevailed, and nobody now
expects star chamber trial. Some way will per-
haps be found to keep the papers secret. ana the
German public is docile enough to accept such
policy without complaint.

The election generally was a very quiet one.
Here in Montgomery the Sheriff appointed o num-
Der OF special deputies, and placed at their head
Democrat, one of the very best and most moderate
young men of this city, Major Jones The Mayor
swore IN 100 special policemen, selecting them from
among the most respectable citizens of Montgom-
cry There was not even fist fight here during the
day. Everybody voted as be pleased without in
tImidation from any quarter and the citizens, white
and black are proud Of the good behavior of MOnt-
gomery on election day.
Everybody deplores the serious riot at Enfaula.
1t originated as you have already been informed,
in abuse of Democratic negro. but there is rea-
son to believe that it would have been serious in its
consequences had it not been for the very general
and wholly unnecessary use of pistols.
THE SOUTHERN HABIT OF CARRYING ARMS.
The idea which prevails to too great an extent
among the young men of the South. that they must
be armed, especially whenever they go to town or
attend public gathering of any kind, is most dan
gerous to the peace and good name of the Southern
people, and does moro than any other one thing to
neutraze the efforts of law-abdng citizens to pre-
vent the occurrence of such bloody scenes "a that
enacted at Eufaula on Tuesday. Not less than one
hundred and fifty or two hundred men nsed pistols
IN that riot within minute or two. Promscuous
hiring was done by both whites and blacks. but as
the latter present in much the larger numbers
and were poorly armed and less skIllful ID the
use of their pistols they suffered most severely In
the cities l am glad to know that the habit OF
carrying pistols is much less prevalent than it for
merly- was or than it now is in the country. There
is, believe, State law against carrying concealed
weapons, but it is very rarely enforced and j sup
pose day has not passed since l came to Mont
gomery on which have not seen some one in from
the country, either white black, with pistol
sticking out of his pocket in belt under his coat
On election day especially, it ought to be a INSIDE
meanor for any person. not an officer Of the law. to
have about his person firearms of any kind. Such
law as this, rigidly enforced would be more effect
i've in preventing bloodshed at elections in the
South than whole army Of soldiers. ZL.W
