TRAMPS.

The committee appointed by the
tramp convention to confer with the
Legislature in regard to special law
for the suppression of the tramp nui-
sance, had an interview with the House
Judicial Committee on the subject, on
Wednesday last Two bills will proba-
bly, be offered upon the subject. One bill
declares and defines tramps to be as fol-
lows: All persons coming from any
place outside the State who have no
fixed or permanent residence and who
follow no labor, trade or occupation or
business, and without visible means of
support or subsistence, and can give no
satisfactory assurance that they are
not charge upon the public: all per-
sons who shall refuse work for the usual
wages, and who are found lettering
about or wandering from place to place:
all who 90 about from door to door, or
place themselves in the street or on the
highways to beg all who wander
about and sleep in barns or outhouses,
or on private premises, without the
knowledge and consent of the owners,
&c And provides for their suppress
sion by Imprisonment or confinement in
aims houses, &c
The other bill provides for the ap-
pointment of a local board of charities in
each Of the counties of the State, and in
vests them with extraordinary powers
This latter bill also provides for the ap-
pointment by the governor of a superin-
tendent of warehouses, at salary of
$4,000 year, and actual expenses, and
clerk hire not exceeding $4,000 more a
year. He is also authorized to hire
land in behalf of the State and erect
rough warehouses for the accommodate
ton of the tramps, &c.
The author of this bill evidently drew
it not in the interest Of the tramps that
perambulate the country and are a nui-
sance in the land but in the interest of
another class, viz: the political tramps
who infest the Hobbies of the State legis-
lative halls, and like cormorants and vul-
lures ever ready to prey upon political
spoils. The tramp nuisance is already
quite as much as the honest toiing citi-
Zens of the State can bear, without add
ing this enormous incubus to their al
ready over burdened shoulders. The egg
from which the Shiny serpent was
hatched, whose coils are so ill-concealed
by the specious phraseology of this bill,
was probably laid at the late convention
in Baltimore, and has been properly in
cubated ever since

PRINCETON CoLLEGE.-We have received
the annual catalogue of Princeton College
for 1S17-7S, from which we learn that there
are now in attendance at that institution
49G students. DR.. McCosh sends with the
catalogue a report, submitted by him to
the trustees, showing the nature and OBJ
ject of the course of study. He calls at
tentIon to the entrance standard, which is
being gradually raised, and emphasizes the
necessity of establishing "upper schools :"
in the States of New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The curricu-
lum of studies pursued during the four
years course is wide one, yet by iudi
cious division of labor, thoroughness in
specific branches is attained. The scien-
tifc school, lately founded, is increasing in
numbers and efficiency. A postgraduate
course has been established and AZ gradu-
ates from various institutions in the United
States and Great Britain are IN attendance

GEN. EWING AND THE MARYLAND
LEGISLATURE,

General Ewing, member of Congress
from Ohio, was in Annapolis, on We'd
nesdav last, and presented at consider
able length to the members of the Leg
islature the Western theory of finance
and his views upon the subject, which
are well known to be peculiar and radi-
cal. Now Mr.. Ewing may as we'll un-
derstand at the outset that the people
of Maryland are not Spring chickens.
They have still some old-fashioned ideas
of honesty, and have not vet reached the
point where the sophistries of " tinan-
cial iunatics can induce them to repu-
diate their obligations OF pay no regard
to their plighted faith. Mr.. Ewing is
one of the leading advocates of the Bland
dollar and, we have no doubt, would
champion rank reputation, if such
project could have any chance of sue
cess. Ohio has right to send him to
represent her in Congress BY virtue
Of his membership he has a right too
address that fog bank " as long as it
sees propcrt to hear him. But we ques-
ton the right of the Legislature of Mary
land to insult the intelligence Of the
people who elected it, by inviting and
encouraging blows at principles that
have ever been uppermost in the breasts
of that people. We are told that the
hope was entertained "that Gen Ewing
would, by his specious arguments, ex-
ert some influence on the members of
the Maryland Legislature from tile rural
districts, so as to affect their votes on
the resolutions " now pending before
that body. This whole question of
finance is a simple question of com
mon sense, and we have only this to
say, that if the members Of the Mary
land Legislature, be they from the rural
Or the city districts, have not intelli-
gence enough to understand that the
payment of ninety-two cents or ninety
three cents or nlnetv-nine cents does
not discharge contract to pay one
dollar, they are not fit to occupy seats
in legislative body. They should un-
derstand that the question at issue is
simply question of the triumph or the
overthrow Of the commonest principles
Of fair dealing. Independent of the
abstract question Of right involved,
they should know that, as a matter Of
policy, an honest course is the best one.
Strip the subject of all "speclous argu-
ments and all subtle theories, and the
naked issue will be found to be-shall
our national credit be preserved or shall
we repudiate! The dollar of the dad
dies" in its modern form, is nothing
more nor less than a dishonest dollar.

REFORM In THE INFERIOR DEPART
MENT.

The Interior Department of the gov
eminent and the Indian bureau have
for years been fruitful topics of discus
sion. 1t was very generally conceded
that abuses of the most glaring descrip-
ton had crept into those branches of
the government service, and that radi-
cal measures We're needed to correct
them. Characteress adventures had
gained the ears Of those who had the
disposal Of the favors The Indian
ring perhaps the shrewdest and most
powerful combination of corrupt men,

GENERAL EWING, member of Con
gress from Ohio, recently visited An
napolis, and addressed the Legislature
of Maryland, in advocacy of the Bland
silver bill. Since the stormy times of
1861, when the agent of Mississippi
visited Annapolis in the interest of Sc
cession, we have not heard of such
brazen-faced audacity. The honorable
gentleman had much better remain in
Washington and attend to his own bus
ness, if he has any; and if not, we sug-
gest that possibly he might be better
employed in attending to the Legitimate
business of his constituents.

THE morning mail from Philadelphia
has failed to reach Elkton very fire.
quentlv of late till l.30 p NJ The de-
tention appears to be caused by the
failure Of the train from New York to
reach Philadelphia in time to connect
with the early train for Baltimore, and
could be remedied by the agents of the
Z. o. Department telegraphing from
Trenton when the New York mail is
too late to connect at Gray's Ferry and
the agent at Philadelphia sending the
mail to Broad and Prime street depot
instead of sending it to the railroad
postal ear at West Philadelphia There
is great room for reform in this branch
of the civil service, and now that the
attention of the P. O. Department has
been directed to it, we hope they will
lose no time in e1ecting the reformation.
