The Dirtiest City in the World.

Smyrna has the reputation of be-
ing one of the most unclean cities in
the world, and its whole arrange
ments, indeed, are such as would
shock even local authority of the
most benighted provincial town in
Great Britain. An attempt is now
being made to put matters upon a
better footing. During the past year,
amid the pressure of other business,
municipal affairs have been allowed
to stand over altogether. The result
of this happy go-lucky system has
been that the state of The city has be-
come almost unbearable. The streets
contain huge collections of the bodies
Of departed cats, dogs, poultry and
rats in every stage of decomposition,
besides refuse Of all sorts; and the
only step that is sometimes taken to
cleanse them is the hanging of the
carcasses of the animals on the win
dow-bars of the houses in front of
which they have been deposited.
This proceeding has led to neighborly
quarrels and the wider diffusion of
horrible smells, and is for the future
to be discontinued as far as possible.
In the meantime the Governor Gen
eral has chosen nine "notables,"
three of whom are European & nile
men, to constitute the new Municipal

Corporation affairs.

For the past four or five years the
tax payers of Oakland have been
dissatisfied with the way in which
the municipal affairs have been con-
Quoted, and at every election during
that time candidates have been placed
before the people with the under
standing that if they were elected
the evils complained of should be
righted. But now corporation af-
fairs seems to be in a worse cOndi-
ton than eyer before, and the tax
payers, Democrats especially, are
anxious to have matters straighten-
ell up. With this end in view, we
publish a call for a mass meeting, to
be held at the Court House to night,
Saturday. at which meeting we
hope every voter may be present,
The importance of nominating and
electing new Burgess will be dis
cussed. .....
We call the attention of taxpayers
to communication in this issue,
which, we believe, expresses the sen
timents of a great majority of our
people.

Norfolk, the murderer of his wife,
suffered death by hanging Friday, at
Annapolis. He expressed confidence
in the forgiveness of his sins. and in
his immediate transfer to Heaven,
but did not extend the usual invita-
ton to the spectators to meet him in
that better land. His omission to do
so may have been on account of the
low character of the crowd collected
to witness the hanging. 1t consisted
chiefly of negroes and boys, some of
them of tender years. Whlskey adj
ded to the d amoralizing influences of
the scene; and one of the spectators,
so far from receiving kindly the
warning of the fate of Norfolk, took
that occasion to beat in the head of a
fellow-man with brick. Public ex.
ecutions are the worst lessons which
can be Taught to crowd.

The Tramp Convention.

The tramp-convention held two
days session in Baltimore last week.
A few prominent gentlemen partici-
pated in the proceedings, and some
very able and interesting papers
were read. The committee on reso-
buttons reported the following, as
amended:
WHEREAS, The several towns and
counties of this State are infested
with vagahonds and tramps to the
detriment of honest labor, to the
burden of the taxpayers and the en-
dangering of the lives and property
of citizens. Every person who
wanders from place to place, having
no permanent home, and lodges in
barns, outhouses or in the open air,
and has no visible means of support,
and begs for living, shall be deem
ed a tramp.
ResolUed, That the president of the
convention shall appoint commit
tee of seven, whose duty it shall be
to memorabilia the legislature to
enact such laws as may be deemed
best for the suppression of vagrancy.
ResoIved, That the COMMITTEES so
appointed shall use all proper means
toward securing the desired legisla-
ton, such as comforting with others
who may aid them in drafting the
proposed enactments, visiting and
consulting with such committees as
may be appointed by the Legislature
to consider the subject involved, and
inviting the cooperation ofall who
may be interested.
Resolved, That in the opinion of
this convention the proposed legisla-
ton should embrace the following
features:
First. Every tramp and vagabond
shall be liable to arrest and imprison-
ment for specified term of labor.
Second. That such labor may be
required to be performed upon the
county roads or other public works
at the option of the county commits
sioners of the several counties.
Third. That the house of correc-
ton should be completed and opened
for the reception of tramps at the
earliest day practicable.
Fourth. That the lodging and in-
generation of tramps and vagabonds
in jails and almshouses shall, so far
as practicable, be discontinued, and,
if necessary distinct warehouses;
shall be established to cooperate
with the house Of correction in re-
lieving the jails and almshouses of
the maintenance of able-bodied
paupers.
Fifth, The imprisonment of pau
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-12-29

are now in circulation in the city and
all parts of the State, which will be
presented to the General Assembly.
These petitions request the passage
of "a law submitting to the voters of
the city of Baltimore or the several
wards thereof and to the voters of
the several counties of the State the
question wether licenses shall be
granted to sell intoxicating liquors
as "a beverage in said city or the
wards thereof and in said countless"
In addition to urging the passage of
general law, special efforts will be
made to secure local option laws for
the various counties. The State
Temperance Alliance has strong
hopes in regard to Kent, Cecil, Car
roll, Charles, st. Mary's, Howard,
Anne Arundel, Frederick, Washing
ton, Allegany and Garrett counties.
MIsCELL ANEoUs SUBJECTS.
It is not likely that there will be
any important action in regard to the
school laws of the State. the present
system being regarded as a very good
one. The controversy between the
county school boards and the Comp
troller in regard to apportionment
of the school fund has been carried
Tbefore the Circuit Court of Anne
Arundel county and will be settled
by judicial decision. The law pro-
vides that ION the fifteenth day of
June, the first day of October, the
first day of January and the fifth day
of March in each year the Comptrol-
Ter shall apportion the amount of the
school tax received by the Treasurer
among the several counties and the
city of Baltimore" This the Comp
troller has construed to mean that
one-fourth of the whole estimated re-
ceipts from the school tax during the
year shall be distributed at each aD-
portionment. In this way balance
of about half a million to the credit
of the school fund is carried over at
the end of every year. The Com.
missioners insist that the COmptrol-
Ter has no right to reserve any por-
ton of the receipts, and the schools
of Prince Georges. Hartford Frede-
rick and Queen Anne's county have
applied for a mandamus, and the
case is now pending in the Circuit
Court of Anne Arundel county. If
the School Boards gain the case the
amount of the State deposits will be
greatly reduced. The State School
Commissioners Association at its last
meeting recommended the passage of
law for the appointment of Super
intendent of the public schools of the
State, the duties of which Office are
now discharged by the Principal of
the State Normal School. The AS
ISOLATION also recommended the APP
pointment off commission to inveS-
tigate the con ditioD of the schools
occupying a position between the
district school and the college.

The proposed plan of issuing Uni
ted States bonds of small denomina-
tions, and bearing low rate of in
terest, will reach the object sought
by the proposed postal saving banks,
and will be unobjectionable in prin-
ciple; and there would be a decided
advantage in having large number
of small holders. Every thrifty me-
chanic, merchant or farmer might
be in a small way "bloated boz d.
holder" and this would do more
toward disseminating sound ideas
upon finance than reams of argument
and treatise.

for its object reformation and instruc-
ton. with the protectiont oft the com.

Sixth. The sale of intoxicating
drinks to known tramps and vaga-
bonds should be forbidden.

lowing committee on legislation !:

The Pennsylvania Railroad shops,
at Altoona, employ three thousand
hands. With the facilities at hand,
an eight-wheeled hopper-bottom car
can be constructed in an hour, and
recently one hundred and twelve OF
this class was turned out in week of
ten hours day. An eight-Wheel box
car can be made in nine hours, in
Guiding one coat of paint, and a pas
senger car can be built in two days.
So far during the year five postal and
LII freight cars have been constitute
ted, and $50 passenger and 1878
freight cars repaired. The wages of
the employees aggregate about ST.
100000 annually.

No such December has been known
here for many years. Out doors
plants and flowers are still seen
blooming in sheltered spots; there
has not been a sign of snow; the
ground has hardly been frozen, and
fires have been regarded as super
fiuOus.
The President and members of
the Cabinet who attended the recep-
tlon of the Union League, in New
York Saturday night, are expected
back tonight; the city is largely
deserted by members of Congress and
other officials, gone to spend the hol
idays at home, and those of lis re-
naming have, lost interest in public
affairs, even the Mexican matter, in
our preparation for general observ-
ance of the holiday season.

are to begin the work of cleansing
the Aug@an stables without further
delay, and as some ofthem are known
to be persons of energy, hopes are
entertained that better days are in

efforts will be really made to improve
its sanitary arrangements before
pestilence is added to the horrors of
the situation.

THE WARM SPELL.-There is
nothing sooner forgotten than the
state of the weather in past days.
When it is very cold we imagine that
it was never as cold before. The
warm temperature Of this December
has banished from most minds the
fact that in December, 1872, 1874 and
1775 there was warm weather. In
1874 some persons pronounced it the
most pleasant fall and winter, up to
December 81, ever known. Deem
her %, 1875, it was warm, and at H.
40 p. m. there was an earthquake.
December %, 1875, it was warm, and
there was so much warm weather
that people supposed there was some
connection between it and earth
quakes.

The New Orleans Tm1ez takes a
bloodthirsty view of our Mexican
relations, and says ninetenths of our
people would rather have war with
Mexico than not, provided there is a
good excuse for it. 1t says it is all
nonsense to talk about out CONNER
cial relations with Mexico, which
consist mainly of reciprocal SNUG
Cling, the skinning of Texan steers
by Mexican greasers, and exchanges
of lead at long range"

COSTLY CHURCHEs.-Reference
has been lately made to the efforts to
raise S25O,0OO to pay off the debt on
Rev. DR.. Tying Jr.'s Madison Ave-
nue. Church in New York, which
was begun by Mr.. Edwark Kimball,
of Chicago, on Sunday morning last,
and has so far resulted in wiping off
the huge sum of $l59,99S from the
amount. This is very creditable to
the congregation, but, as the Wash
ington Post very pertinently in
quires, "Would it not be more cred
liable to congregations throughout
the country, who are given to build
ing costly churches they cannot pay
for, if they would be less ambitious
of their own glorification and more
Jealous for the honor of their relig-
ion ?p To dedicate to DiviTe wor-
ship house of prayer, and allow it
to be sold to satisfy the mortgage
with which it is burdened from the
moment it is opened for sacred SER
vices, looks like mockery of re-
ligion,
