ROUGHS AND THEIR PISTOLS.
An Effort to Break Up the Carrying
of Firearms.


The police are very glad that steps have been
taken toward having law passed placing
severe penalty on parties making assaults
with dangerous weapons. The reports have
for years shown hundreds Of eases where
parties have been shot cut, and MANNED,
and The assailants punished with either light
fines or short terms of imprisonment. In
1856 there were 9,0lI arrests for assault and
battery, and SO cases Of assaults with intent
TO kill. Last year these figures were in
creased A large percentage Of the assault
and battery cases were those where the
knife, razor, or pistol took a prominent
part. ,.,
For e long time the police have felt the
need Of Just such II law as Is now pending
in Congress.
If II passes It will be the means Of restrict
ing individuals who are too handy with the
knife or pistol, and stop the Saturday night
carriages. There is hardly an old officer on
the force but can tell how sorely they have
felt over the failure to properly punish
desperate characters for infiiCting wounds on
citizens. The people of the city have be
come alarmed at the frequent reports Of
cutting or shooting atlrays, and the light
punishment imposed upon the offenders,
Citizens maintain that there should he other
laws passed in addition TO this one, placing
severe pehhllleS ou pclHons iou," c"lly
ing concealed weapons, Such characters
should be looked upon as wOuId-be violalors
of the law, and the oilense considered 50
great as to remind them of II,
The officers would also gladly hail a law
inncting punishment on persons selling
firearms to minors, especially such weapons

Tile first of the regular annual appropra-

lection Of the most experienced senators
that this has ever before occurred at so late
Il period IN a long sessiOn-thOugh the
records as To dates have not been closely eX-
amined for more more than half dozen
years. In the long session of the forty
seventh Congress SIX of the fourteen an
mal appropriation bills, and In that of the
fory.cighth three of them had reached the
Senate committee before the middle of
March. IN the long session of the last Con
gress the first bill made its appearance on
the 4th, and the second on the 2ith Of
March. The record is held to indicate an
increasing tendency toward prolonged ses-
