v 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. Railroads. THE ATHENS 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 <• „ i> • -r /.<• .l-,,, by rewand surpassed by none in the State. Mr. of a fblCC of five hundred of them , j BV Galley has charge of this department, approaching a western citj\ to the 1 Clarice Coiaxvfcy- univorsal alarm of the inhabitants. The disclosures connected with the anil will be pleased to wait on any desiring goods in this line.

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 impress upon the people, and upon legislators, in this article, is, that the evil which wc are describing and commenting upon is notone that will cure itself-—is not one that will be ,s cured by returning national prosperi ty e have engaged with Mr. Wm.

NEW YORK. 1877- 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.
