SOME ONE HURT.

The West Virginia Democrat, pub
lished at Charlestown, is making war
on the democratic leaders of the
State. The Democrat is owned by a
stock company, Messrs. Bedinger,
Lucas and Eichelberger being among
the stockholders. Just now it is
waging war upon Senator Camden,
who. we hear, has been instrumental
in giving citizen of Charlestown.
one of the best of Federal offices.
This seems to be very unsatisfactory
to the Democrat, for it goeth for Mr..
Camden's scalp as follows:
"Sycophants and parasites gather
around the millionaire politician as
carrlon crows swarm about a carcass,
and the immense wealth of Mr.. Cam
den, coupled with prostitution of
Federal patronage, has surrounded
him with horde of servile bench
men, ready to black his boots so
long as he retains either his money
or his office, and who will be equally
ready to blacken his name the in
slant his power is lost. The flattery
of his henchmen doubtless misleads
the Senator"
Now, we have this much to say
for Mr.. Camden, in an independent
way: He has been the architect of
his own fortune. He made himself
millionaire by industry. energy
and business tact. Not only that,
but he has used his means and his
enterprise in West Virginia, and has
been builder of her material inter
ests. We knew him when he was
much poorer than now, and without
the honor of official position, and we
take pleasure in saying that increas-
ing wealth and earned honors has
neither made fool of or lessened
his frank, kind and manly qualities.
With the politics of Johnson n.
Camden we have naught to do, but
with his behavior as q citizen, his
qualities as man, and his business
capacity we have an interest in COM
mon with the people of West Vir-
ginia, and we do him no more than
simple justice in saying that all are
commendable and worthy of emula-
ton.

The Tramp Nuisance.

Now that the summer season has
opened in earnest, our rural friends
are being invaded (not by city cou-
sins of the dudish persuasion, butt
by hordes of such unsavory, tramp
ing bummers as annually migrate
from their vile and noisome haunts
in town to the pure and invigorating
God made country, and these, hyena-
like, seek to devour and devastate
what the industrious have accumu-
lated. Some Legislatures have, we
believe, attempted to enact stringent
laws for the protection of rural citi-
zens against the lazy, tbieving YAM
pires; and it is stated that the far
mers of at least one county in Penn
sylvania have effected organization,
offensive and defensive, to prevent
the summer invasion of tramps.
This last, in the absence of effective
Legislative action, is an example
worthy of wide imitation. For
tramps are becoming the terror of
rural life in many parts of the Union;
and hence any society organization
that seeks to protect farmers and
their wives and families from the de
predations, insults and worse, of the
shiftless scamps marauding it's sec
ton has a worthy and necessary,
though it may be herculean, task be-
fore it--but if the renovating work
be thoroughly done the community
directly interested will be vastly ben
nefted. And pray, why should not
the farmers of the Middle and New
England States, and like infested re-
gions elsewhere, organize to pursue
and punish INDECENT and lawless
tramps, on the same lf-protective
principle that people of the West
combine to Ego for" and eradicate
horse thieves and other plunderers?
The simple announcement of such
salutary organization in locality
would deter many tramps from COW
ardly insults and depredations, and
have powerful tendency to make
them seek honest employment. The
tramp nuisance is becoming unendur-
able IN many parts of the country,
and it is high time that stringent
measures were adopted for it's sup
preston. Let the good work of
getting radiance of the rubbish be
taken up and continued in every 10
cality afflicted until the evil shall be
abated, for the only effectual remedy
is to entirely expunge the noxious
nuisance.

THE Inertia GE.

The rich mans son inherits lands,
And piles of brick, and stone, and gold,
And he inherits soft, white hands,
And tender flesh thatfeels the cold,
Nor dares to wear garment old;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inherits cares;
The bank may break, the, factory burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft, white hands could hardly earn
A living that would serve his turn;
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit?
a patience learned bysbeing poor,
Courage; if sorrow come, to bear it,
A tellow-feeling that is sure
To make the outcast bless his door;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in fee.
o poor mans son scorn not thy state;
There is worse WEAKNESS than thine,
In merely being rich and great;
Toll only gives the soul to shine,
And makes rest fragrant and benign;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both, heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last
Both, children of the samedear God.
Prove title to your heirship vast
BY record of well-filled past;
a heritage, it seems to me,
Well worth a life TO hold in fee.
