THE ATHENS GEORGIAN: APRIL 10, 1877.
The Disease of Mendicancy.
An English paper, in some recent
utterance, reminded the American
nation of the appearance of an un*
mistakahle evidence that it is grow-
ingold. It possesses “the tramp.”
The war left with us, as war always
leaves in every country, a great num
ber of men utterly demoralized. The
hard times have cut them loose from
remunerative work, and they have
become rovers, nominally looking for
employment, but really looking for
life without it. They have lost their
self-respet if they ever had any, lost
their love of steady industry, lost all
desire for independence, lost their
sense of manhood and of shame, and
have imbibed the incurable disease of
mendicancy. We mistake the na
ture of the case entirely, if we sup
pose that better times and fair wages
for all, would cure these men, and re
lieve the country of their presence
and their support. Leprosy is not
more incurable than mendicancy.
When the disease has once fastened
itself upon a man—when, through
long months or years, he has willing
ly and gladly lived on the industry
of others, and roamed around without
a home—he becomes a hopeless case,
and nothing but the strong arm of
the law can make him a self-support
ing man.
The same is true of the dead-beat,
who is only “the tramp” of the city,
lie is not so humble a man as the
country tramp. He dresses better
and supports himself by different
methods. lie is the man who wants
to get to Boston or Baltimore, where
be has friends. He is the man who
has just arrived from the South, hav
ing run as far as New York to get
away from the yellow fever, or what
ever trouble may be in progress there
at the date of his application. He is
the man who wishes to g t money to
bury his wife or child. Or, he
of the community, and among the 1877.
dead-beats and tramps we have an | m
enormous number of men who are
just as truly diseased as the maddest
man in Utica, or at the Blooming-
dale Asylum. Something must be
done with them, and done at once, if
we are to have any comfort by day
or safetlv by night; for men who are
so demoralized as to beg from choice,
and lie by profession, have but to
take a single step to land in ruffian-
Already they intimidate, and
rob and murder, to get the means to
support their useless lives.

Furniture Manufacturing
COMPANY.
Believing tliat Athens, and the section of
country around, should have, and would cor
dially support a first-class
Furniture Store and Factory
we have entered into a partnership, bought out
the Machinery and store of Gillelaud, Wood &
Co., and the store of J. F. Wilson & Co., and
determined to give the business a fiiir trial under
the firm name of the Athens Furniture Manu-
factaring Company.
, , , | At the store occupied by J F. Wilson & Co.,
It is only last year that we heard : we propose to keep a stock of Furniture equaled

them by tens of thousands at any

point desired, and how readily they
can be induced .to perjure their souls
for bread and beer. These facts
menace both our homes and our lib
erties. It is not a tramp, here and
there, such as we have at all times ;
hut it is an army of tramps that can
he brought together on the slightest
occasion, for any deed of rascality
and blood which it may please them
to engage in. The evil has come
upon us so noiselessly—so almost im
perceptibly—that it is hard for us to
realize that we arc tolerating, and
feeding for nothing, a huge brood of
banditti, who will ultimately become
as monstrous and as disgraceful to
our country and to Christian civiliza
tion as the banditti of Greece or
Southern Italy. , * > k $< . -
The one fact which we wish to

starving condition, and wants some
thing to assist him in “bridging
over.” If you happen to have been
born in Vermont, he comes to you
as a Vermonter. Perhaps he comes
to you because you and he happen to
have the same name. There is no
end to the lies he can tell, and does
tell. We have some very genteel
and high and mighty dead-beats in
New York, who never stoop to beg,
hut rise to borrow, and forget to pay.
We know of one woman here, claim
ing to be productively literary, who
apparently lives well on the funds
which a bright and sweet-faced
daughter borrows for her. Now all
the sc people arc hopelessly diseased.
They can never be restored to sound
manhood and womanhood. What i
worse than all the rest is that they
perpetuate their mendicancy through
their families. So we have the
tramps and the dead-beats, and the
regular old-fashioned paupers, and
they are all alike, with some excep
tious, perhaps, in favor of the regular
old-fashioned paup -rs; for now and
then there is one of these who, much
against his will, has been forced by
circumstances into pauperism.
What are we to do with tin se
people ? How is this disease to he
treated? These questions demand
an early answer, lor the evils to
which they 1 elate arc inc - easing with
alarming rapidity. There is the
general feeling that they w 11 take
c.:rc of themselves, so soon as pros
perous times shall return ; hut, as we
have already said, this is a mistake.
T1 ie dead-lioat will never reform.
'1 lie tramp will be a tramp for life,
shifting from country to eity as his
emulous may demand, and ready to
he led into any mi-chief which will
give him grub and grog. There
ought to lie, this very winter, in
every Slate in the Union, such laws
passed as will restrain the wanderers,
and force them to self-support in
smue public institimi. A standing
commission of vagrancy should he
instituted in every large city, and
every county in the land : and insti
tutions of industry established for
the purpose of making these men
self supportin ami of curing them
ol their wretched disease. We have
lunatic asylums not only for the ben-
ei.t of the lunatics, but for the relief
ty—is not one that will he cured by
driving tramps from one State into
another—and is a hopelessly demoral
izing mental disease. It must be
taken hold of vigorously, and han
dled efficiently ami wisely. There
is not a month to be lost. Tims fat-
in the history of the country we have
been singulaily free from any pauper
ism but that which we have imported
from the great European repositories
of pauperism. But matters have
changed. The tramps are not all
foreigners. They are, to a very con
siderable number, our own Ameri
can flesh and blood, and unless we
are willing to sec the country drift
into the condition of the older peo
ples of the world, where mendicancy
has grown to be a gigantic burden
and curse, and pauperism a thing of
hopeless heredity, we must do some
thing to check the evil, and do it at
once.—Scribner.

Aii Agonizing Ulioicc.
The Memphis (fenn.) Appeal re
lates the following in its account of
the recent burning of the steamer
Governor Garland in the Arkansas
river. Captain NewlandV conduct
was heroic. Finding it impossible to
rescue his wife and two children,
he was compelled to forsake either
the former or the latter. He had no
time to hesitate, for the flames were
already scorching the passengees
Captain Ncwland kissed his little
children farewell, and seizing his
wife plunged into the water. He
looked back, but the children he
could not see, for his eyes filled with
fears, such as only a father or moth
er can know the meaning of. A
deck hand, named Billy Staples,
whoso home is in Memphis, wit
nessed the sad farewell. Seizing
hot!: the children in his strong arms,
the brave man leaped into the wa
ter and carried them safely to the
shore.
The different editions Of Tiik Sun during the
next year will be the same as during the vear
that lias just passed. The daily edition wifi on
week days be a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays a sheet of eight pages, or 56 broad
columns; while the weekly edition will be a
aluct of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character that are already familiar to onr
friends.
The Sen will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, und ot
the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom, and
integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, and
fraud iu the administration of public affairs. It
will contend for the government of the people
by tile people und for the (ample, as opposed to
government by frauds in the ballot-box and in
the counting of votes, enforced by military
violence. It will endeavor to supply its readers
—a body now not far from n million of so I:
with llie most careful, complete, and trustworthy-
accounts of current events, and will employ for
this purpose a numerous and carefully selected
stuff of reporters aud correspondents. Its re
ports from Washington, especially, will be full,
accurate, und fearless; and it will doubtless
continue to deserve and enjoy- tlic hatred ot
those who thrive by plundering the Treasury or
by usurping what t’ie law docs not give them,
wtiile it will endeavor to merit the confidence of
the public by defending the rights of the people
against the encroachments of unjustified power.
The prioe of the daily Sen will be 55 cents a
mouth or $8.50 a year, po.-t paid, or with the
Sunday edition $7.70 a year.
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages, $1.20
a year, post paid.
. ‘The \Veeklv Sun, eight pages of 56 broad
columns, will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of $1 a year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for the Weekly can be enjoyed by
individual subscribers witiiout the necessity of
making up clubs. At tlic same time, if any of
our friends choose to aid in extending our circu
lation, we shall be grateful to them, and every
such person who sends ns ten or more sub
scribers from one place will be entitled to one
copy of tlic paper for himself witiiout charge.
At one dollar a year, postug paid, the expenses
of paper and printing are barely repaid ; and,
co* sidering the size of the sheet and the quality
of its contents, we are confident the peojde will
consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest news-
pa er published in the world, and we trust also
one of the very best.
