How 10 Deal with frames.

The New York Herald says the tramp, n
nuisance which few years ago was almost as
unknown as tho potato bug. has again ap-
pearcd, and like tho bug, chooses tho most
fertile regions for his rnvagos. Quito num-
Der Of outragcs ard dcprcdntions have been
rcported; aud it is certain that unless some
strong rcpressive measures aro Mt onco taken
the disgracciul scenes Of the past two or three
years will DC repeated in our rural districts
this summer. An indication OF what NAV be
expected is found in tho assaults on farm
houses, the insults ltstounprotcetcd women and in
the murder Of n child recently in Pcnnsylya.
MIA. When the tramp first appeared hc was
not understood; and was supposed to DO
deserving object of charity--a poor man
honest cmploymcut in the country. Kind.
hearted farmers wives looked upon him with
compassion, gave him food and sometimes
money to holp him on his way. But as the
beggarS became prosperous they grew proud,
and found that to ask was easier than to earn.
Tramping became as fashionable with this
nsoient class as pedestrian tours nrc with
young gentlemen. Tie lazzaroni Of The cit,
who live by theft and aims during the winter,

Give to their health to practise the same arts
in the country during the summer They arc
organized now and have made trumping one
OF the fxcd sciences. When it has reached
this stage We know how to deal with it, for
the evil has developed into tangible form.
1t is no logger to be dealt with by individuals,
but to he suppressed by the united efforts Of
communities. Instead of arrcsting now and
then the tramp who robs house. insults q
woman. or commits q murder, society should
array tsclfagainst tho system which makes
such crimes common. 1t should deal directly
with the cause aud not merely with tho
effects. The citizcns Of every county whore
the tramp has become nuisance and danger
should take measures to make him wish he
had mover entered it. Whenever the bully
and beGsar makes his appearance ho should

he could suffer. If he commits q crime ho
should rcceivc tho fullest penalty the law
allows. Should this mothod DO adopted and

officials OF every county it would not be long
before these bands Of outaws--for they arc
nothing lessr-would discover that robbery

We again impress upon the Masters of
subordinate Oranges in this County the duty
Of calling their members together and rcyi, ing
tho Order. The meeting Of the State Grange
IN Anderson on the Sth Of August will Lc of
general interest. and every Grange should be
represented. Much might bc learned aud
much fresh interest in tho Order might De
created by the assembling of leading members
IRON different parts Of tho State. and the
discussion Of questions Of general interest to
tho farming class. We feel assured there is
good in the organization, if our poople will
only take hold of it and avail themselves Of
its bonefts. There is q general wish to
obtain some Of tho pecuniary benefits of tho
Order by establishing agencies Or cooperative
stores in tho County. Much might bo learned
by some of our we'll informed Patrons attend.
ing at Anderson and conferring with Patrons
from other Counties whore these aystoms have
been tried. Besides, the SUBJECTS for discus
s'on at Anderson arc we'll selected and Of
great general interest Mt this timo No one
can fail to DO benefited by such discussions.
Among tho subjects we notice ono which we
sA""' VII NV ouiy uc culsCuaSCu, Dut that some
action will bo taken by the Oranges whereby
our next Legislature will bo induced to ro-
enact the usury laws. Wc have no homo OF
this much needed legislation unless it DO takon

arc the most oppressed by the present law
and thoy arc most Interested in tho restoration
