Arreaf The Vagranfa.

A rigid enforcement of the vsgrant laws,
by taking up the idle vsgsbonds, both white
and colored, who are numerous in our city,
would give such a reinforcement to the Guy
Ter swamp brigade that We might look for
ward to an early completion of that great
public work. Let the chronic idlers who are
loafers in the daytime and thieves at night
be arrested under the State laws provided
for such cases and made 70 do service for
the good of the public. By this method we
think the CITY and vicinity will either lose
the presence Of such parties or receive some
recOmpense for allowing them citizenship.
We want no thieviDg drones here, and their
presence should not be permitted. We trust
that the necessary instructions will be given
by the authorities for the arrest Of all par
ties found losfing about the city without
visible means Of support.
In this connection we call attention to the
following excellent tramp ordinance recently
enacted in Columbus, and which has been
found TO work admirably: "Any person
who shall 90 about from door TO door with
in the corporate limits of this city for the
purpose Of begging for his or her benefit;
or who shall place him or herself IN the
streets, highways, lanes, parks, cemeteries
or other public grounds Of said city, with no
fixed place OF abode, shall be known and
arrested as q tramp, and upon conviction as
such shall be fined or suffer such other pun
isbmeut. or both, at the discretion Of the
Mayor"

Lookout for Them.

Ii would seem from the following, which
Va find in the Macon Telegraph Of Sunday,
that among the recent arrivals in Savsnnsh
are two sharpers. The Telegraph says:
sTwo men. usmed Levy and Gretchner,
have been selling iewelry on cur streets for
several days. Business getting dull, they
Matched up q scheme to get TO Savannah
without paving twelve days bOsrd bill at
the Southern Hotel. They left their jewelry
In the hands OF c man named MOrell, on
Tuesday, aud induced him to express it TO
Savannah, and to take out q receipt IN his
name. The men then walked 70 Griswold-
Vile and boarded the train for Savannah,
leaving their gripsscks, filed with old pa
pers and trash, at the hotel
'sMOrell somewhat repented OF his com
plicfty in the matter, and informed Mr..
Wiley Jones. the landlord, OF what be had
done. Mr. Jones then had the goods at the
express Office attached. He wrote to the
men IN Savannah, and they replied that thew
desired him 10 send the goods on G. o. ID.
This Mr.. Jones refused to do, and has writ
ten 70 that effect.
f'They managed TO get their clothes out Of
the house, and stuffed their vslises with
trash TO deceive.
at is supposed that the men bad bad luck
in Macon with Their sales aud took that
method OF getting away"

We have received from Hon. George 4.
Black, Representative from the First Con-
gressionsl District of Georgia, the following
copy of the report Of the Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, which &C
companied the bill introduced by him re-
Gently, and which is now pending in the
United States House of Representatives for
the sale Of 0glethorpe Barracks, in this
city:
The Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, to whom was referred the bill Oh.
r. 22i3) to authorize and direct the sale OF
Oglethorpe Barracks, in the city Of Savsn-
nah, Ga, having considered the same, re-
spectfully report That in reply to an in
QuirY, the General Of the army states that
these barracks are no longer required for
military occupation, and therefore should
be sold. The Chief of Engineers Of the
army also reports that the barracks are not
necessary for the purposes Of his depart
ment, and he knows of no reason why they
should not be sold. The Secretary of War
states that the care and control OF the bar
racks causes considerable annoyance and
some expense to the department, aud he
recommends the passage OF the bill. In
view of these statements made to the COM
mittee, contained in the letters referred to,
and which accompany this report, it is
recommended that the bill do pass.

A very large matinee and splendid Satur-
day night house greeted the popular young
actor, Oliver Doud Byron, and his f1e COM
pany in their presentation of the thrillingly
sensational play Of Across the Continent"
Mr. Byron, as "Joe Ferris, or the Ferret"
is spirited and skillful ia his role. and makes
# tell for all it is worth. He received
strong support, the entire cast being good.
The curtain had not been up many seconds
till the fun began In a scene in the Five
Points, New York, wherein an eccentric
Irish shoemaker dispenses bread and blows
very freely, the former with great good
heartedness, the latter Unfortunately. His
antics at one moment provoke the most
uproarious laughter, and In the next his
kindness of heart challenged the admi-
ration of all who saw 1t manifested.

Saturday morning Magistrate Isaac RuE-
sell had before him a case in which two re-
spectacle cOlored persons, deacous in a
church, were claimants for mule. Each
party produced several witnesses, who swore
positively as to the respective claims, and
they all being Of equal credibility, the Ma
gisfrate confessed his inability to render
a decision, and suggested that the parties
settle the matter between themselves and
relinquished bis costs in the case. We IN
derstand the parties agreed to this, and after
consultation appraised tie value OF the
mule at $50, and then Offering to take the
animal az that price, the go was equally d.
vided between them and the Magistrate was
minus his costs.
