The Couucil has referred the matter to a special cominittee, and the necessities of the case require careful consideration as well as prompt The needy and suffering must be cared for law or no law, but the able-bodied indolent, tramps, and vagabonds, must bü thrown upon their owu resources. And with proper watchtulness on the part of our officers the towns WlB uot puuish the city us much as they hope, or escape all the burdeus they imagine.
