FIRE COMPANY. A citizen sup rested to
us the propriety of calling the attention of
the people of Lewiston to the Importance
of organizing fire company. Although we
have no objections to the movement, yet we
would again call the attention OF merchants
and property holders to the fact that before
they expends large sums of money in erect
ing, fine substantial buildings both public
and private that the suggestion we gave
some months ago in the TELLER in regard
to reservoir being constructed on the hill
above Lewiston would be in this connection
worthy Of their consideration.

The Baton Rouge Advocate has an
able editorial on the practice Of carry
ing concealed weapons which concludes
by calling upon the press to organize
public opinion on this question.
The Guardian has waged war against
the pistol and knife from it's birth up to
date. Feeling that common decency,
religion, morality and love Of peace and
harmony should cause every good man
to take a decided stand on this matter
we have never failed to cry aloud and
spare not. We have demanded in the
interest of law and order that there
should be prohibition of the sale Of
pistols, for the reason that they are
good for nothing but to kill human be-
ings. Others agreed with us and the
better element of the community en-
dorsed all we said on the question, but
the iuries are slow to convict and lines
are light, so the practice continues. The
people are careless and Indifferent about
this question. While cognizant OF the
necessity OF stringent measures they
are too apathetic..
If every man who knows that another
has carried concealed weapons; would
report it; if Grand Jurors would not
carry to an extreme the idea that no
notice should be taken Of petty ofenses,
chasing concealed weapons as petty
offense; if petit jurors would construe
strictly their oath, and Judges would
impose severe fines, we venture that
pistols and knives would soon be eaten
up by rust.-[Claiborne Guardian.

Lieutenant GOvernOrship.
IN. o. Daily States.l

The communication in yesterdays
States, relative to the Lieutenant Gov
.ernorship, and which seeks to establish
the existence Of law which gives the
Senate the power of filling that Office
zaow vacated by the succession OF its
.-constitutionally elected incumbent to
the Office Of Governor, has its full refu..
tation and answer in the constitutional
provision, Art. SO, that both the Cover
nor and Lieutenant Governor shall be
elected by the duly qualified voters at
the time and place OF voting for the
representatives.
Any law which provides for the cleo
ton of these officials by any other mode
than that prescribed in the Constitution
lis null and void.
We do not think the law referred to
was intended to embody any such alb
, surdity. The President of the Senate
.sr-oticio succeeds to certain duties and
powers of the Lieutenant Governor.
Whether he succeeds to any OF the
functions of that official which are Of
an executive character, is a very grave
question. AS President of the Senate
lie remains Senator, member of the
legislative department OF the State
Government. 1t would be an obvious
inconsistency and unconstitutional that
he should unite the two distinctive
functions of legislator and executive
officer.
The confusion in which we have been
thrown by the innumerable bad, absurd
and unconstitutional laws, enacted by
the horde Of incompetent persons who
nave assumed to control the legislation
of this, State for years past, can only be
corrected by constant recurrence to
the fundamental principles of our re-
publican system, of which these consti-
tuition and law makers of our State ap-
pear to be profoundly ignorant or crimi-
saally neglectful.
