W Well, really, if we knew how
to come down gracefully and make
the aneasde hOpeorable to our valued
correspondent, DIR. Wilkinson, we
would do SO. We have looked over
the editorial referred to by our
friend, and are for the life of us un-
able to see in is any thing that the
Doctor ought to construe into a re-
proof 1t was not so intended. The
Doctor had sent us a well written
communication, which we were glad
to publish-(hope to publish many
more from his pen-) He expressed,
rs We understood him, not so much
his own views upon the subject as
what he conceived TO be the views of
others. We, as o public journalist,
thought it not only our privilege,
but our duty, to present what we
humbly conceived TO DO . correct
view of the matter. We thought,
and yet think, the law an excellent
one for the people along the road,
and hope it will be so executed that
the road will become q great thor
sOughfare. as in days of yore. In
expressing our views upon the sub
ject we referred to what DIR. w. had
said of the people along the line. but
certainly with no intention to criti-
else the Doctors article-and moth
ing was further from our purpose
than to refer to it in an offensive
way. What We desired, and still de
SIRE. is that all difficulties about the
Paw and its execution may be gotten
over. and the people agree together
and make good road. Only this,
and nothing more.

PUBLIC LNsTRU07TON

To the Editor Of the Borristown Gazette:
For some days correspondents and
the editors of the Knoxville papers
have been discussing the extent of
the curriculum of study in,the public
schools and the duties of the Trus-
tees of the East Tennessee Univer-
sity in regard to the Agricultural
College. No proposition seems clear
er to me than this: mae E
The State has a right and ought
to give every child the opportunity
Of a good common school education.
Whenever a State, town, or corpor-
alton goes beyond this, a great wrong
is done the public. Schools of tech.
nical science for the country, and
military and naval schools may be
of public benefit. Normal schools,
in which teachers for the public
schools are trained, become a neces-
sity but beyond these, all other
schools of high grade at pub
lie expense operate against the In
terests and vested rights of the peo-
pie. and are used for the advance
ment of the interests of the few, and
to the detriment OF the many.
We need a thorough system Of
common schools, We will never see
the day in Tennessee when this will
be the case, if Latin, higher mathe-
MATES aud other mere accomplish
mcnts are taught at public expense.
/ am not disposed to be captious.
When / write upon this subject, the
thousands of illiterate boys and girls
in our State arise before my mind.
and for them T plead. 1t is to be
hoped that our law makers and school
officers will look not merely to local
interests here and there. but the
whole field will be considered.

HAGRAErS and THE "a.
GRANT LAW.

We hear much compliant from
countrymen and others of the num-
Der Of vagab0nds and oilers new
living in their neighbOrhOods with
ont any visible means Of support.
In one neighberhood, few miles
from this place, Q reliable gentleman
informed us a few days since that
family or rather squad Of no
less then sixteen persons, male and
female, squatted near his farm in an
abandoned house. and were the fear
and pest of the neighboFhooe- They
were forced to leave an adjoining
county on account Of pRblic senti-
ment, and thrust themselves upon
the federation of the good people
where they settled. And This case
is by no means exeeptionable. In
oar own town and vicinity, there are
any number OF persons WHO haEe no
apparent means of subsistence and
who fail to appIy themselves to any
honest calling. 1t was with an eye
to the proper treatment Of these
pests of industry and honesty that
the last Legislature passed what is
known as the ''vagrant law" an
enactment very stringent in its pro-
visions. Section says:
cit shall be misdemeanor for any per-
son who having no apparent means for
subsistence, neglects to apply himself
or herself to some honest calling"
Section 2 says:
at shall be a misdemeanor for any one
to be found lettering about saloons or
dram shops, gambling houses or houses
of i'll fame, or tramping or strolling
through the country without any visible
means of support. -
The penalty for these offences is
fine of not less than five nor more
than twenty-five dollars. or imprison-
ment in the county work-house for
not less than ten days nor more than
twelve months.
Section says:
cit is hereby made the duty of all
peace officers of this State to arrest all
Migrants and carry them before some
Justice of the Peace to be dealt with as
the law directs. af
The gentleman who called our at
tention to the law requested that we
should publicly ask the attention of
our courts and peace officers to it,
and impress upon them the fact that
it was their duty TO enforce the law
in this matter. The term peace
officers, embraces sherifEs and their
deputies, town marshals and con-
stables. We call the attention Of
these officers to the law, and earnest
ly hope it win receive their prompt
attention. Vagrancy and theft go
hand in hand. They are twin evils.
One is a necessary result of the
other. Every man must either earn
his living by the sweat of his brow.
or beg or steal it. Labor is a law
Of mans existence. Farmers every
where in the country want Iaborers
and are willing to pay good prices
for them, and yet wherever you turn
the eyes you find vagabonds and
loafers who would rather steal a
bare subsistence than live well by
honest labor. We should be reliey-
ed of this intolerable pest, and in
the name of the good citizens who
feel an interest in the welfare and
prosperity of the county, we repeat
our cali upon our peace officers to
enforce the law.
