WHAT SHALL WE Do ABOUT IT?-Per-
sons resident on the line of Railway
from Weldon to Wilmington, and
from Greensboro to Charlotte, are
growing uneasy with regard to the
steady stream of 'tramps" descending
upon those routes. On the w. & w.
R. r., especially, the swarm of vaga-
bonds is becoming intolerable. They
blacken the railway, and scour the
country for halfdozen miles on either
side; exhibiting an insolence, rapacity
and acuteness Of nose, second only to
Sherman's beastly bummers. They are
of all ages, sizes, colors, and grades of
responsiveness BY some they are
thought to have the system and sign
language of the English tramp be-
cause in many instances they know the
name of the family and seem to un-
derstand when to assume the role OF
the half-starved bcggar, and when
that of the menacing ruffian.
Rev. DR.. Burkhead, P. E. of Will
mington Dist, has decided to remove
his family from their present resi-
dence, in the vicinity of Magnolia, be-
cause in his necessarily frequent alb
sences, the tramps walk into his house
unhidden, demanding food, or money,
with impudent mendacity, Recently
while sitting at window, he noticed
two vagabonds pass down the railway.
Presently he heard slight creak, and
opening the room door, found one Of
the scamps creeping through the hal
from the rear door. The latter began
to be impudent, but on finding himself
likely to be kicked back whence he
came, changed his tone to the usual
whine, Haven't had bite to eat since
day before yesterday. AT this, DR.. B.
said, well take the axe and chop me
a wheelborrow load of wood and you
shall have your dinner" The tramp
sullenly took up the axe, struck a lick
or two, then went to the well for
drink, and seeing one of the boys gal
lop off towards the village, imagined
that some of hi. rascality had been
discovered, and instantly climbed the
fence, and was off like shot.
Mine Host Bonitz, of the famous new
Hotel in Goldsboro, tells us he is daily
besieged by the vagabonds, who are
always, of course, on the verge Of star
vation. The other day, after giving
one of them large bundle Of dinner
table scraps, he saw the scoundrel sell
it for dime, TO some negroes at the
street corner.
Major Hooks, Of Wayne, informs Us
that Spring Hill school-house was re-
Gently broken into by tramps, who
warmed themselves during the night,
by burning all the school-books, maps,
&c, together with such of the benches
as they could break up.
Now, We're the Legislature In session.
We should advocate the passage of
law to utilize this floating labor for the
improvement of our public highways.
But as the matter stands, we suggest TO
the Board of county commissioner.
whether il would not be judicious for
them to order the sheriffs 10 employ
one or more of their deputies as spe
cial detectives TO arrest all tramps COM
ing within their several counties, and
have them put at work under the va
grant act

1t is becoming toierably certain
that the tax on whiskey viii be re-
duced to 90 cents, and on tobacco to
12 or 10 cents. The liquor and tobacco
interests are united, and they make a
strong team, both in building up, and
pulling dO,cn.

40 miles east of Constantinople. In

present juncture of Oriental affairs

There are some precious smart
people in this world. Writing hastily
the other day, with half dozen friends
talking in the room, we spoke of Pen
dleton, Vorhees, Valandingham and
Mcclellan as coming back to power
after years of exclusion. OF course,
we We're as well acquainted with the
fact of Valandingham's death as any
editor who published column on eel
umn of description of the unfortunate
accident by which he lost his life But
if we forgot it for the instant, we are
not likely to do 50 again. Because from
all parts of the land long -eared sdrdnts
are sending US letters to say" I'm
surprised! Didn't you know Nalan-
bingham was dead? Oh, dear /
thought everybody knew that , Well

bingham was dead Why 1 knou,d
