THE TRAMP ACT.

The tramp bill passed finally In the Houss
branch Of the Legislature on Tuesday last, by
vote Of 123 to bO. ID provides that any person
going about from place to place begging shall be
deemed TO be tramp and guilty Of mlsdemean-
CT and on conviction shall be sentenced TO solitary
confinement at labor or Imprisoned Ia the county
Jail or work house for not less than six months nor
over eghteenj provided, that be can prove that he
does not make . practice Of going about begging
he shall be discharged also, that any tramp who
shall enter a dwelling house against the will Of
tho occupant, or kinde q FIRE In the highway, or
on the land Of another, or DO found carrying any
angerous weapon. or do or threaten any injury
not amounting to felony, shall upon conviction
be sentenced to solitary confinement at labor for
not over three years
The tramp bill of which we give a
synopsis above has passed the House
and is now before the Senate. II will
be seen while it has some good feat
ures in II, there are others which if
passed into law will work badly
For instance, to sentence q man 10
three years hard labor in the peniten-
tiary for simply building fire in the
highway is monstrously out Of keeping
with the character of the oflense. 1t
can't be questioned that some law
should be enacted TO abate the tramp
nuisance, but a law similar to the one
contemplated is tyrannical and will
prove imperative. 1t must bc under
stood that while many worthless, lazy,
vicious scamps are on the tramp, II
don't follow that oil who follow the
road are Of this character. The con-
dition Of the times the depression in
business the scarcity of employment
have forced thousands of poor honest
men to roam the country with the hope
that in some quarter they may find q
job OF work. And 1t is difficult to dis
tinguish this class of men from the reg
ular tramp. Both look seedy and un.
kempt, and while it may be policy to
punish the latter as an excresence on
society, the former are certainly de-
serving of sympathy and commissera-
tion, and to punish such to the extent
the bill alluded to contemplates, almost
rivals some of the laws passed in En-,
gland during the reign of Henry the
Eighth. The Senate should amend
and modify the bill which is crude
throughout. Exchange.

Louis was quite q way station on the

lowed the North Star from slavery to

has come to think there is too much

the mayor of that city has sent South
numerous handbills cautioning the

REJOICING. OF COURSE.


The Radicals in Cincinnati, at their
recent municipal elections, elected their
nominee TOR Mayor by a majority of
447. Last year the same party had
100 majority. The Pittsburg Ga
zette was so elated over the result that
it produced its "old coon" and rejoicsth
wonderfully at this victory. 1t is a
wonderful victory indeed, when we
look over the ground. Mr.. Jacobs, the
Radical nominee for Mayor, a few
days before the election, flooded the
city with circular which contained

RADICAL ADMINISTRATION.
THE SCHOOL FUNDS.


One of the most disgraceful things
among our public afisirsis the mannerin
which the State authorities are admin.
istering ourschool matters. Two weeks
ago Superintendent wickersham sub
mitted q reply to resolution called
upon him to inform the Senate how
much, if any, ofthe appropriation made
last year for the support Of common
schools, State normal schools, and sol.
diers' orphan school remains yet un.
paid. The report is as follows;
COMMON SCHOOLS, 1873.
Incorporation to Common Schools
made in 1878, the year covered by
your resolution, for the school year
ending the first Monday of June, 1879
now due and payable at any time upon
tho presentation Of the annual district
reports and certificates, was $1,000
900. OF this amount there has been
paid out only s72, 2,964.56, and there re
mains unpaid s927 O35.44.
STATE NORMAL SCHOOLS.
The appropriation to the State Nor
NAL Schools, by the act approved May
"a, 1878, was sl00,000.00. The Who'll,
Of this amount still remains unpaid.
SOLDIERS ORPHANS SCHOOLS.
The amount due the several Sol
diers' Orphans Schools and remaining
unpaid is $50, 100000, as we are inform
cd by the State Treasurer.
COMMON SCHOOLS, 1876.
Tbeappropriation to common school

The State Normal Schools want theii
money badly, but take this occasion
to call the special attention of the Sen
ate and Legislature as a whole, to the
fact that the unusual delay in the much
needed appropriations to common
schools is crippling the work OF thu
whole system, and causing widespread
dissatisfaction and complaint. Th'
State Treasurer cannot pay out money
not in his hands, but those who have
the authority to do it, should provide
funds sufficient to meet the demand
of this character upon him.
And in this connection, permit m,
to remind you that this appropriation
of 100000 annually to common
schools is in virtue Of provision o
the Constitution of the State, and tina
upon the fulfillment of certain condi
tions on the part Of the several dis
tricts throughout the Commonwealth
the law that directs the Superintendent
of Public Instruction "shall draw hi
warrant on the State Treasurer for tn
whole amount which such district j
entitled to receive from the annua
State appropriation" If the Superin
tendent should obey the law-as it i
his duty to do--there would soon b.
aAoat, to disgrace oil concerned, dis
honored school warrants to the amour
of moro than million and a.half o
dollars. The attention Of the Legisla
ture is most earnestly called to this i'm
portant matter.
