The dreadful stories Of ou.rages by
tranps which are so frequen, Ibis sum
mer. are causing much uneasinsss. A
New York lawyer writes TO the Spring
field Republican as follows:
see By the papers that a shocking
outrage has been committed near
Brattleboro. Vt, by a tramp, and a
letter from that place confirms the
statement. When / was there two
weeks ago. | found that it was thought
necessary that young ladies walking IN
the country should be armed. | met one
carrying a policeman's club garnished
with two saw blades. Others carrying
pistols. / have no reason TO suppose

Washington, March 2l.-The House
on Thursday went into committee Of
the whole on the naval appropriation
bill. Willis of New York, offered
amendments reducing the pay of mid
shipmen 5000. Townsend, of New
York, said every member wanted to be
an economist. There was nothing that
went home to the bosom of his constitu-
ents like the idea af their representa-
tive being great economist. Everyone
must commence somewhere. The gen.
tleman from New York (Willis) re-
minded him of the clergyman who, on
being notified by his congregation that
he must not preach against sin, to
which it was addicted, hnd preached
against the Scribes and Pharisees be-
cause they had no friends; that gentle
man has picked out the midshipmen to
commence economy upon, because they
had no friends, and no more votes than
the heather Chinee. Laughter. The
amendment was rejected.

More Talk About Timber.

Washington, March 21.-In the SEN
ate to-day Morgan, of Alabama, op-
posed the second section of the timber
bill, and said the Secretary of the In
terror had relied upon men not whorthy
of trust, and refused to hear men who
were worthy of trust in regard to these
timber depredations. The conduct of
the Secretary of the Interior as to the
public timber lands had been evasive
and not candid. He gave notice that
at the proper time he would move to
strike out the second section of the
bill.
Matthews said: Whatever else might
result from this debate one good would
follow; it would demonstrate the neces-
sity for some wise and systematic legis-
lation covering this entire subject. He
argued that the Government owned the
land together with the timber thereon,
and any person engaged IN cutting said
timber became trespasser. AS owner
of the property, the United States had
right to follow it and take it where
ever found. IL il could be done with.
out breach of trust, the real gist of the
accusations against the Secretary of
the Interior was not that usually heard
about the negligence of public officer,
but that according to his sense of duty
he was enforcing the law, and because
of that he is arraigned as oppressive to
individuals and as being un-American.
He (Matthews) thought it was one of our
cherished maxims and principles that
the best way to secure the repeal of
obnoxious laws WAS to rigidly enforce
them.

IT is stated at the postoffice depart
ment that the saving to the govern
ment in the recent mail lettings over
the previous contract prices exceeds a
million dollars. 1t is difficult, however,
to judge what the ultimate savings may
be, inasmuch as it is not altogether
certain that some parties who have
contracted to carry mails at cheap rates
may not find themselves able to carry
out the contracts.
