Vagrancy.

Would it not be well to give some vi
taiity to the law against vasrancy i?
Ihe statute defines vagrants to be IAN
idie persons, not having visible means
TO maintain themselves y etc, etc.
There are numbers of just this class to
De seen daily and nightly IN this town,
congregated at Il negro saloon kept at
the corner of Bellevue and Court
streets. They congregate there at an
early hour in the day, remain there all
day, noisy and hoisterous, and then
make night hideous.
1t Is on one of the most convenient
tioTooughfares in the town, and order
should prevail along it. These idIers
appear TO have lost all regard for rer-
sons passing and living near by, not
except the ladies promenading on the
plank walk. They Lre, and somebody
supports them. 1t is apparent enough,
they do not honestly work for it, and
they should bo arrested and made to
give an account of themselves
Every house keeper knows how they
exist, and everyone should feel an in
terest in having them put to work-if it
be only on the streets.

The necessity of eradicatins the illit-
crate vote from our elections has been
ap, rent since it was first given voice.
Swayed by prejudice and passions and
dem0ralized by the greed and avarice
of designing politicians, it has ever
been menace to society and good gov
ernment. An honest election, where
the voice Of the people and not the pur-
chased franchises of an unlett tered
majority has decided the issue,
has and will be matter of
impossibility so long as our con-
stitution is so framed as to allow the
ignorant and vicious elector to decide
issues of which he has no understand
ing and to have an equal voice with
the competent and tliroughtful voter
in matters the importance OF which he
