ORANGE COUNTY vIsITArIoNs.

The Union, Orange county, New York, says that
the tramp nuisance has atterly become dangerous as
we'll as annoying. During prosperous times bcgGar
was seldom sent away from the door hungry, and
hence large number Of lazy fellows found it easier to
tramp about the country and live from door to door
than work. The hard times increased the number OF
tramps who really suffering from inability to OBJ
tain work. but people also became less willing assist
vagrants. The result has been that the tramps,
becoming desperate, have taken to pilfcring and
robbery, and hear from all parts OF the
country of the operations of gangs Of burglars wcrc
work abundant and wages high should Of find
a great decrease in the number of tramps Even in
Italy the traditional home Of beggars the demand for
laborers caused by the building of railroads and public
works has lately made bcggary rather the exception
than the rule and what has been dono in Italy could
easily be done here II might not be bad idea
to try Count Rumfords plan with reference TO tramps
and compel them by law to work for their board and
lodging Count Rumford put this plan in operation in
Munich. After holding 900 tramps to labor he
found releasing them that very large proportion
became industrious and selfsupporng. or course this
could not be done without tho aid OF good vagrancy
law; but certainly need law which will relieve us
in way Of the dangerous plague OF tramps which
has spread over the whole country.

HOW TO LIMIT TEANrprNG.

The Albany Evening Times in article the
TRAMP Scourgc" has something the subject worth
reproducing 1t says-'Wnat is required to prevent
the ranks Of the tramp and reclaim the
less dcbascd Of their members the opportunity OBJ
tain voluntary and steady labor This condition OF
affairs be reached once but the spread OF the
tramp scourge and Of highway robbcres and house
breaking should admonsh statesmen of the noces-
sy Of egslatng TO bring the country to OF
prosperity at rs carly day as possible So
ccty is in measure responsible for tho scourge OF
vagabondism. If the people would make 1t their
business attend to their political duties
TO sec that public affairs were wisely
and economically administered, taxation kept
interfcenccs, prosperity would be restored and with
the wandering bcggar nuisance would die ont. The few
tramps who would still remain might then be easily put
under the wholesome discipline Of compulsory labor
until habits of industry and thrift had been acquired
In brief the Tpics sees all who choose look for
themselves must Sec that the public prostitution and
private pcnury including rampage which has settled
like incubus on the country is the direct outgrowth
the policy which has "ruledN and all but ruined the
country. IN the comparatively short period since the
time honorcd principles which led the country TO pros
perty gave place to the ncompctcncy, stupidity and
corruption which all embraced in the term Grantism
This the Of this effect and until the primary
cause removed tho social evil OF rampage and thou
sand other ills within the power of good government u
remedy, will be our portion despite the best efforts to
get rid OF them.

THE COURTS.
THE TWEED SIX MILLION SUIT.

In the Supreme Court, General Term, which meets
to-day the appeals from the various orders given in thu
Tweed six million suit will probably be argued There
appeals the first from the order Of Judge Dom
ohuc directing bill of particulars to be given, which
appeal of course is made behalf of the people, and
the second from the order OF Judge Barrett refusing
reduce Mr. Twceds bail from So 600, Ooo as fixed by
Judge Davis to vacae the order of Court the latter
appeal being made on behalf OF Mr.. Tweed
IL is understood that preliminary objection will bd
raised by Mr.. Tweed's counsel to any argument on
either appeal the ground that this is regulas
General Tern and that IL rs in vacation and merely
adjournment for rendering decisions. The absence OF
David Dudley Field in Europe will also be urged an
additional reason for argument at a regular General
Term. which meets october. An objection will in
all likelihood he raised to Judge Davis sitting the
ground OF his letter to Mr. 0Conor asking advice from
him in the Tweed case, and especially in view OF the
fact OF Mr. 0'Conor's appearance in the case. How
ever, should these preliminary objections be omitted,
the argument will either be proceeded with orders

currency see-saw, and gets only distant

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE

We have heard great deal lately of "the
shot heard round the world'-"the shot
fired by the embat,led farmers" at Concord,
As pictured in Emerson's verse. But the
reports of the Rifle Match which appear in
the New York papers, if we accept them
for what they represent, come very near
realizing, in little more literal sense, the
shots seen round the world.
This feature OF the reports is quite as
interesting and quite as much of triumph
always accepting it As genuine-as the
match itself. The Tribune and He,uA print
diagrams which rurport - show the exact
location on the targets of all the shots
made by the contestants. 1t is precisely rs
if the targets had been photographed, after
the match was concluded, and reproduced
in the columns of the papers. How the
shots were thus shown BY cable is not de-
scribed, but il is said to be new process
discovered by the correspondents. This in
dication and Transmission of their position
by cable is decidedly new feature in Jour
nalism, and furnishes striking evidence
OF tho marvellous resources which modern
newspapers bring into play.

THE RAIN AND THE CELEBRATIONS.

We have had glorious rain. 1t conf
menoed to pour Sunday afternoon, and con-
tinued, with few sunny intervals, until
Monday night. Though the crops in other
portions of the State are all safe, the small
grain being harvested, yet the farmers OF
Leavenworth and adjoining counties, which
have been visited by the grasshoppers,
needed good big rain TO make them hap
by and at peace with the rest of the world.
To say that they are pleased does not ex-
press il they are jubilant and wild. What
do they care for picnics, and 4th Of July
celebrations? OF course, with everybody
else, the grangers like fun, and enjoy
themselves on proper occasions, but they
also resemble the rest OF the world in the
matter OF bread and butter" They are
willing TO forego all pleasures and gayety,
when their crops are At stake. And not
only the tiller OF the soil should feel CRATE
full, but each and every one should con-
graduate themselves on the fair prospects

COL. ANTH0NY's CONDITION.

This is the fifty-iiith day Col. Anthony
has been lying upon his back. His sur
geons restrict his food to graham mush,
boiled rice or toast, which he takes in
small quantities three times during the day.
He is prohibited from using tea, coffee or
meal, but is allowed To drink chocolate. For
three weeks past temporary compressions of
the artery have been made, for the space of
fifteen minutes each, three times day.
The result thus far seems to indicate that
the aneurismal sac has been reduced in size,
or its limits more definitely defined. The
tumor is now about one BY one and one hall
inches in its diameters. The impulse OF the
blood into the sac seems to remain about
the same. At noon, on Friday last, continued
compression was adopted. 1t is proposed to
try this method thoroughly; if it fails, the
chances OF life with the aneurismal sac in
existence will have to be taken, the only
other alternative being the legation of the
subclavian artery above the collar bone.
