II Camp Of Tramps tn Sc. Joseph COun-
ty-Some Of the Fraternity ia Eaton.
From the Three Rivers Tribune.
In last weeks Tribune We made mention OF
the presence OF 80 or more tramps in our vii
lage. They seemed to have come in q bod
and disappeared as they came, and are now
probably grazing some other community with
their odorous presence. Their camp was in q
grove on the south side, below the Three
Rivers Manufacturing Company's shops, and
lolling under the shade trees, baths in the
river, cards and like games, an occasional foot
race or scuffle for exercise, and roosting in
empty cars, on the nearby side tracks, filed
in the round Of time. Only good living was
needed to complete this care-free life, and that
was levied mainly on the community by dele
gated ones who three times day secured that
part OF the town and brought in an abundance
for all. We say mainly for besides the bread
and butter, meats, pies, cakes, doughnuts and
coffee given them freely they added, by raid
ings, the appetizing chicken fry to grace their
feasts.
Harvest hands at the time were scarce and
prices high, and at the same time the NJ c..
gravel train, which has headquarters here, was
running with Is men because the 80 more
needed to make out their number could not be
had. No one Of these tramps, however, could
be induced to work. The excuses were various
most OF them were unaccustomed. they said, to
work in the sun and couldn't stand the heat
some hadn't time to stop-been sent for aud
must hurry along aud occasionally one, too
shameless even to lie, made bold to say that he
didn't propose to work as long as he could live
OF the fat Of the land without it.
From our exchanges comes the same tales.
Tramps everywhere begging for bread and re-
fusing to work. Oftner they go singly or by
twos and threes; occasionally they congregste
in camps, IS they did here, and often make
themselves the terror Of the neghborhood,
plundering orchards and gardens and chicken
coops in broad daylight, and committing petty
thefts and burglares by night. In some cases
they have pitched their camps just beyond the
jurisdiction OF the town police, and by covert
threats have for time completely oyerawed
the surrounding population.
From the Charlotte Republican.
The tramps sent to the workhouse from this
city last week were quite communicative TO
Sheriff Smoke while en- route for their new
abode; but to one Of the party 1T was like the
return Of the prodigal SOD, as it was the eighth

Ilton on the Chicago and Alton road, was the
Iorst tramped section IN America aud that
900 tramps piled between those parts con-

early part OF the winter Of 1S77-7S that he
would buy the water that he was going to
California to spend the winter. and when he
returned in the spring we would agree upon
the price and he would pay the money. Upon
this understanding he sent his son with me 70

water and agreed upon the quantity. After

George William Curtis says, in "Harper's

| Grant: "To say that he ia the only candi-
date who can be elected. is . confession OF
. despair we do o share, and to assert
that he is the sole distinct representative
Of Republican principles. is to insult Re-
publican intelligence. However probable
the nomination Of Grant may be. it seems
likely that it would chill the sincere part

would be accepted with doubt and regret
by another part, and would be really well

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8.
A Victoria dispatch says the British gun
boat Osprey arrived this morning from
Sitka, where she was relieved on the Sd
instant by the United States ship Alaska.
All was quiet 1T the time of the Osprey's
departure. On the night Of the 29th ult.
trouble was feared, and ct the request Of
Colonel Ball, the Collector of the Port re-
quested the commander Of the Osprey to
hold his crew in readiness to land the mo-
ment . signal was given from the shore.
The request was complied with, and the
crew Of the United States revenue steamer
Oliver Walcott, lying off the Indian vii
lage, also stood to quarters all night, but
no occasion arose for their services. 1t
afterwards appeared that = number Of
ChilcOt Indians, recently arrived from the
North, had been holding adrunken carouse
with their friends in the village, during
which = quarrel arose, and . Sitka chief,
named AnahoOts, who ID friendly to the
whites and lives within the stockade, was
severely wounded. One Of his assailants
was also badly hurt, and Chilicots threat
ened to kill Anahoots. In retaliation it
was feared that the quarrel might result
in . general attack on the whites, on &C.
count Of their friendly relations with Ana
boots. Aside from this. no trouble arose
during the Osprey's stay at Sitka.
A Sheriff. sale has been held OF the
stock Of GOdchaux Bros. Blum, Levi 4
Co., who were the first to attach ON money
loaned, were the purchasers, At $50, 900.
The amount due them was some $50, 900,
and they expect to secure the balance out

Of continuing the business after the stock

have been offered ten cents on the dollar

dorsers can be obtained for that sum, the
proposition will be accepted.

1t has been notorious for years past that
enormous frauds are systematically and
constantly perpetrated in the payment Of
pensions without the least real effort being
made 70 check them. A regular combine
ton Of agents, Of surgeons, and Of profess
sional witnesses is known TO exist, who
make . business Of getting up GASES, and
who are materially aided by subordinstes
in the Pension Office at Washington, as has
been repeatedly shown by the c~lcarest
proof.
The proportions which this plumber has
taken are astounding, even by the admis-
sions of the Commissioner Of Pensions,
whose duty IL is to know where the present
laws open the doors TO laxity, and 10 sug-
gest o remedy that will furnish some prac-
teal protection against these organized
raids on the Treasury. According to the
best information. there are now some two
hundred and thirty odd thousand pension
ers on the rolls, o. nearly tenfeld the num-
Der Of the regular standing army.
In the last ten years the payments for
pensions have aggregated the enormous
sum Of two hundred and ninety-one millions
Of dollars, or an average exceeding twenty
nine millions per annum. Mr.. Ingalls,,
Chairman Of the Senate Committee on Pen
sions, states, after thorough examination
Of all the facts, that mot less than twenty
per cent. Of our entire pension list is
wrongfully and improperly paid" And
this is the deliberate opinion also Of the
COMMISSIONS Of Pensions. These frauds
are successfully committed by rank per-
jury, by the false p~ersonation Of persons
who are dead, by the remarriage of widows,
by the growth Of children who have passed
beyond the limit Of sixteen years, when
their pension legally ceases, and by papers
manufactured through connivsnce and
other devices.
1t is probable that between fifty and
sixty millions Of dollars were stolen in the
years between 1869 and 1878, covering the
whole administration Of Grant, and one
year Of the Fraudulent President. The
current rate Of stealing is about five and .
half millions . year, taking twenty per
cent. as the basis Of the estimate Of frauds.
How it is possible, with the knowledge
that this immense robbery is going on ali
the time, for the Interior Department,
charged with this trust and directed by
professional reformer Schurz, to remain
passive and permit such q scandal to con-
tinue, is past finding out, unless eyes are
purposely bandaged md vigilance is taking
. pr~econcerted sleep
