Tranps.

The tramp nuisance has assumed such
proportions of late years as to be almost un-
endurable. Yet no methods have been de-
vised for it's destruction. The subject, there
fore, is one which properly engaged the at
tention of the Social Science Convention
just closed at Saratoga, and we are glad to
see that it was SO ably introduced by Profess
sor Wayland, of Yale College. In his paper
read on Wednesday before that body Pro-
fessor Wayland photographed the tramp in
language torcible but unexaggerated. He
described the tramp as O ''lazy, shiftless,
sauntering or staggering, ill-conditioned,
irreclaimable, incorrigible, cowardly,
utterly depraved savage" and accurately
stated the danger he is to society in saying
that, being devoid of conscience, he knows
no gradations of crime, and commits a
murder or petty theft with equal inditfer-
ence. The character of the tramp, however,
is too well known to need elaborate illus
tration, and the practical question is how to
get rid of him. The mere punishment of
individual tranps for offences in which
they are detected is, as Professor Wayland
pointed out, an inadequate remedy, for de-
lection is difficult, and not one offender
out of twenty is punished. Tramps are
continually on the move, and so escape
from local jurisdiction. The only way
to deal with the evil is to lay the axe to the
root Of the tree, and not simply to lop off
the limbs 1t is truly said in the thought
ful essay to which we refer that honest men
deprived of work are sometimes obliged to
seek it where they can, but statistics show
that the vast majority of these wanderers
are impostors. They travel to avoid en-
ployment, not to find it, and blend the
bully and the beggar in their trade. Broad
and radical measures should be adopted by
society for the suppression of this evil, and
Professor Wayland asserts the true princi-
pie when he says that all able-bodied men
found begging should be considered va
grants and treated as such by the law.
The New York herald., 1877-09-08

once law, which does not permit the Presi-
dent to remove an officer, but only to sus-
pend him and await the action of the Senate.
If the President had the same absolute
power of removal which he possessed be-
fore the passage of the Tenure of Office
act Mr.. Cornell would have been removed
the next day after he presided over the
Republican State Committee, and the re-
calcitrants could not have helped them
selves. The President would have ap-
pointed successor to Cornell, and if the
Cornell would be none the less out of Office
and could not be reinstated But under
the Tenure of Office law the Senate has the
whip hand Of the President. The republican
Senators do not believe in the civil service
order, and the reason why the President
qunils is because he fears that Cornell
would be reinstated if he should suspend
him merely for defying the order. In this
state of things it would be masterpiece of
strategy for the democrats to repeal the
Tenure of Office act. 1t is no progeny of
theirs; they fought it when it WAS passed
merely to put fetters on Andrew Johnson;
they do not believe in it; it's repeal would
confer upon the next democratic President
freedom to remove as many of the repub-
lican office-holders as he pleased. The re-
peal would not be difficult in the present
state of parties. 1t could easily be passed
by the democratic House, and the repub-
lican majority in the Senate is so very
slender that it would require the assistance
of only four or five stanch supporters of the
President to carry it through that body.
The Tenure OF Office law once repealed
President Hayes would be free. He could
carry out his civil service order or any
similar order and Senate of his own
party could not thwart or obstruct him.
If Congress would at the same time repeal
the four years law, thereby leaving every
officer once confirmed by the Senate in
secure possession until the President found
reasons for removing him, it would be in
the power of every President who was so
disposed to secure an honest and efficient
civil service
