Concealed Weapons.

Editors Dispatch / see In the Dispatch
OF this morning August 26th), Messrs. Ed
itors, that youthful pick pocket was con-
yicted and sentenced, and at the same time
was convicted OF carrying concealed wea-
pons, and fined $50; but, in default OF
ability to pay, was sentenced 10 six months
imprisonment. This is all right. But car
rying concealed weapons is very common
thing, and, either by premeditation or in the
heat OF passion, frequent cause Of wounds
or death when men get into difficulty or a
conflict with each other. II the weapons are
drawn, which before were concealed, and
injury is prevented by the interference OF
bystanders or OF the police, have not
noticed that the parties are often prosecuted
for carrying concealed weapons. When in
jury IS done and the offender is called to ac-
count for it, have not noticed that be Is
also called to account for the separate Of
fence OF carrying concealed weapons. In
the former case, does the law, or do the OIL
GERS OF the law, tGke notice only Of pick
pockets, thieves, and such like, and pass
over gentlemen who are above stealing, but
who do most OF the mischief that is done
with concealed weapons? And in the lat
ter case, when the weapon is used to the in
jury Of another, does the greater offence
swallow up the less, 80 that only the use OF
the weapon is noticed, and not its previous
concedlnsent, although without that conceal
ment the injury in most cases would not
have been done? INQUIRER.

The " Sunday Liquor Law"

Editors Dispatch &: observe that your
correspondent - Richmond" proposes that
the candidates for the Legislature define
their position on several questions OF pub
lie interest, and that you announce your
Willingness to publish short communica-
tions responsive to the questions propound-
ed. The fourth question is:
I" Are you in favor Of the present Sum
day LIQUOR law? II not, in brief, what
modification do you propose
It is within the range OF possibility that
some OF the candidates may respond to this
INQUIRY, sentimentally, after the fashlon OF
the fellow who, when asked his opinion
about the fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States, exclaIm-
ed: "D-n the fourteenth amendmcntn
what is the fourteenth amendment 10
nreyent q committal which might prove
embarrassing afterwards, ] respectfully
suggest that responding candidates exam
inc the law before replying.
A candidate may be in favor OF the
principle OF the "present Sunday ilquol
iaw.o but not In favor OF some OF lts
pbraseology. To illustrate my meaning 'e'
me quote the law-viz.:
uNo bar.room, saloon, or other place loi
the sale of intoxicating liquors, shall be
opened, and no Intoxicating bitters "a nlt a'
country drugstoresJ o.. other drink lthis 10
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1879-08-27

cludes lemonadel shall be sold in any bar
room, restaurant, saloon, store, or other
place, from IL o'clock OF each and every
Saturday night OF the week until sunrise OF
the succeeding Monday morning." etc.
[Why use The word "morning?"1
1t seems to me that the most ultra sab.
batariun or temperance crusader" /" would
scarcely object to the simplitlcaton OF the
law by The substitution Of the following
words:
"No Intoxicating drink shall be sold at
any place in this Commonwealth from u
O'Clock every Saturday night and O'Clock
OF the succeeding Monday morning." etc.
[Why until "sunrise
Beyond the queries in brackets have no.
thing in the shape OF comment TO offer. My
point is gained II put any candidate on bis
guard against declaring that he is in favor
OF the law as it reads, when it may turn out
that he is only in favor of effectual means
for preventing the sale Of Intoxicating
drinks Sunday by a iudicious use of the
English language in the construction Of the
requisite prohibitory law.

to fine audience. Wyman has added
a number OF Interesting tricks to his

His tongue is as glib as it was years ago, his
sleisht-oi-hand is quite as astonishing. ana
his tricks and yentriIoquism are hard 10

An Old King Erhumed. Last week
whilst Mrs. Walden. residing on the corner
OF Fourteenth and cambridge streets, in this
city, was pulling up bunch OF wire-grass
from her garden, she found clinging to the
roots OF the grass a plain gold-ring which
had been lost for more than fifty years.
The ring was lost by gentleman from one
of the southern States whilst visiting here.
A dilgent search was made for it at the
time. but to no purpose. As soon as Mrs.
Vaden found the ring, she remembered the
time the ore was lost by the gentleman, and
at once concluded that it could be no other.

LOCAL MATTERS.

DROWNED IN THE DoCK.-The body OF
Mrs. Gertrude Voelker was found in the
Dock yesterday morning near Fourteenth
street and the Danville depot. ........
Mrs. VCeker left her home, No. 722 north
Third street, on Sunday evening about I
o'clock, and had not been heard OF until
found drowned. It is said that she had
been lahoring under mental alteration for
some time past, and that trouble was in
creased by the sad termination OF her daugh-
ter's life, who was recently burned to death
from the explosion OF kerosene-oil lamp.
The Coroner (Dr. w. II. Taylor) took charge
OF the body and carried it to the City Morguc
for examination, where it was subsequently
identified by some OF the relatives OF the de-
ceased, to whom it was afterwards turned
over for burial. 1t was much disfgnred by
the water, having, it is believed, been in the
dock since Sunday. A number of persons
from Belle Isle went down to see the re-
mains. thinking it might be those OF wo-
man who has been missing from Belle Isle
several days.
An inquest was deemed unnecessary.
