LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

VAGRANTs.-A man who has settled
home, family, and is doing the best he can
to support them, even admitting that it is
but poorly done, can not be justly charged
with vagrancy. A man who has no home,
and is without visible means of support
from honest labor; man who wanders from
place to place in search of a nights lodging
seeking it sometimes in the public squares,
and at others in empty buildings, or where
he can best find the opportunity, and when
he does make little money spends it for
whisky, and between drunkenness and
laziness becomes a vagabond-sucha man
might be justly charged with vagrancy, and
punished, and the punishment of such
persons is authorized by the vagrant
act; though the validity of the act itself is
questioned. It would be well, therefore,
that the Police Department, including the
Recorders, take the correct view of this sub
ject, and use the law-not as an engine of
oppression to the poor and unfortunate
but as means of correcting vagrancy; not
as means of Furnishing persons, but as a
means of correcting wrong and dispensing
equal justice to all. Men, clothed with a
little brief authority, should not forget their
true positions. 1t is only by acting justly
that they can expect to be maintained any
length Of time in authority by people who
are in reality free
