THE TRAMP NUISANCE.

One hundred tramps were in town on
Monday. Thirty-eight slept around one
FIRE Sunday night. These fellows are
positive nuisance. They are a dangerous
element Families on the outskirts of the
town are at the mercy Of this vagabond
class Bolivar Bulletin, l4th.
If the people of the South do not
organize against the tramp nuisance
the organized tramps will take the
country. One hundred desperate vag-
abonds can capture any county seat,
commit any and all kinds of outrages
and terrorize a whole county. We do
not produce the tramp in this part Of
the country, and should not feed or
tolerate them. We have vagrant laws
in this State, and in many States,
strong enough, if enforced, to check
this growing evil. If these wander
ing able bodied vagrants were put to
work on chain-gangs, in work houses,
Or on public roads they might at least
be able to earn what they eat. Some
of them are the victims of bad luck or
hard times, and are to be pitied rather
than prosecuted, but this class is very
small, and will have to suffer like poor
dog tray for being found in bad com
pany. The majority of tramps scorn
to accept a job of work, and when
they find a house occupied only by
women and children they are often in
solent and threatening. The North
ern papers TEEN with accounts of out
RACES committed at farm-houses by
tramps, and the same vagabOnds arc
coming down this way now, not singly
or by twos, as formerly, but in mobs Of
ffties and hundreds. 1t is not more
than week since sixty tramps camped
at Bartlett one night and forced a rail.
road conductor to let them ride into
the suburbs Of the city next morning
If such conduct as this goes unpun-
, ished they will become bolder and
commit more shocking crimes Thii
question will be forced upon us sooner
or later if we do not give it attention
in time. These tramps, many Of them
are armed and prepared for any sort o
mischief. They are nearly all worth
less and beyond the point of honorabl,
aim or reform. Many Of them ar,
desperate and vicious. If the author
tiles do not enforce the laws and sup
press this evil there will be a necessit,
in less than five years for shotgun
policy sure enough.

THE UNITED STATES SANITARY COM
MISSION

The members of the United States
yellow icvcr commission, who have
been in session here several days, have
arrived at two or three very important
conclusions:
First That the yellow fever is not
indigenous to any part Of the United
States, and that in New Orleans it was
caused by being imported, from
whence it was carried to every other
place.
oud-The disease does not seem
to be prevented from prevailing cpl
dcmically, either by distance from the
sea or distance above the sca-lovel, as
under favorable circumstances for its
dissemination, it might prevail in any
part Of the United States. Hereto
fore seaboard quarantines, as far as the
Gulf Of Mexico is concerned, and
making exceptions this year in the
case Of Texas, have been inadequate
to prevent the introduction of the
disease. The difficulties Of inland
quarantine are so many and so great
in the case Of places on the Mississippi
river, or in the case Of towns having
extensive railroad connection as to be
almost practically impossible.
Third--It seems to be the opinion
of the commission that the only rcas-
enable protection to keep the yellow

The Government After Alleged
Sugar Reflners.

New YORK, November 16.-The
government officers are continuing their
investigations into the adulteration Of
refined sugars. They decline to make
known the result of their analysis at
present, prefering not to mention the
names of the suspected refners until
positive proofs of fraud are firmly
established. Collector Merritt thinks
it is the duty of the board of health to
protect the consumers Of sugar from
the evil effects of the poisonous adul-
erations.

ROBERT SMALLs, the colored South
Carolina congressman, has been de-
feated for reelection by his own race,
the colored people havingvoted against
him in very large numbers. A recent
speech of Governor Hampton, at
Beaufort, doubtless had great deal
to do with Smalls' defeat He pro
duced a thick pile of the evil
dence of the corruptions of
Smalls, when that person was in the
South Carolina legislature, showing,
among other things, that he had on
one occasion sold his vote for 5000, and
had received $1,000 of what is known
in South Carolina as the printing
steal The governor here produced
the cheeks indOrsed by Smalls, and in
vited such colored mon in the audi
ence as chose to come forward and in
spect the statesman's signature, which
number of them did, and then
shook their heads significantly" On
witnessing this performance, Smalls
who was on the outskirts ofthecrowd
indignantly disappeared and was seen
no more.

NASHVILLE, November 10.
To the Editor Of the Banner:
In order to decide bet of long stand
ing, would be obliged if you would an
swer through your columns, as early as
possible, the following question; Can a
citizen Of one district run in another for
congress, and if elected can he qualify?
In other words, could a resident of the
Sixth Congressional district run in the
Ninth, and if successful is he eligible2
Yours, X.
There is nothing in the constitution or
laws to prevent a citizen Of one congress-
ional district from running for congress in
another. In England and France il is
quite customary for persons to be elected
to parliament and the assembly from
counties and districts quite remote from
where they reside While we cannot now
recall an instance in this country, there is
still no legal prohibition in the Federal OF
State constitutions or laws Banner
l4th.
This gives a man chance to run in
two districts instead of only one, and
the politician too well known at home
might slip over into another district
and run better than ever before.

BROWNSVILLE STATES; Many
laughable expedients were adopted du-
ring the late epidemic to ward off the
yellow monster. One worthy gentle
man wore string of red-pepper pods
down his back, and as he never had the

him. Another gentleman wore
a string of onions around his waist.
The colored people tried all their
witch preventiyes, such as mailing horse
shoes on the front steps, but all in
vain. But jesting aside, it is asserted
that a number of the Howard Associa-
tion made it a rule to eat sulphur eve
