; The Whipping Post.
Delaware has received much
criticism on account of the whipr
ping pof t law, which has been iri
force some years in that State;
On Saturday nine men were pub
licly whipped at New -Castle for
the crimes of burglarly and petit
larenyP in the presence of 500
people.; There was no pretence
aboutthe punishment.- The lash
was laid on according to the man
ner provided by the law. It is
easy to say harsh things about
punishment in this form, and the
so-called humanitarians and the
super-senitive have not been
sparing in their condemnation.
There is, however, another side
of the case. The fact that Dela
ware has tried this method t of
punishment, and refuses to repeal
the lw, is evidence that experi
ence lias shown that it is not ad
visable to abolish the whipping
post. There is nothing more
valuable in the study of crime
than experience in finding .out
what method;: of punishment is
best adapted to certain cases.
Delaware asconcluded that ap
plying the cat-o'-nine-tail to
thieves is better c than locking
them in jail for six months asd
feeding them at the State's ex
pense. Baltimore Sun. - .
