MILITARY PUNISHMENTS.

--
" Men do not become penitent, and learn to
abhor themselves, by having their backs but opin
with the lash." Bo says °serge Eliot, in 'Felix
Holt, the RislicaL" The narrow majority
in favour of Ur. Otaway's motion for doing away
whh flogging in the army, although not likely to
effect at min the desired object, is t drown-
stenos which enables us to see the bigining
of the end. It has become clear, that if we wish
to make the nosy popular and attractive, we
must abolish corporal punishment. That men
experienced in military discipline should argue
otherwise is only • proof of prejudice and the
oonservetimen of habit. Flogging in the army is
an old British institution It Banished in the
time of the Duke of Wellington, and for ought
we know, in the times when Marlborough gained
his victories. Because, therefore, it has existed
aide by side with our success in arms, it is
illogically held to be • necessary adjunct thereto;
and it must be confined that when each men as
the Duke of Cambridge and the Adjutant.
General express doubts on the matter, there
must be some show of reason for maintaining the
custom. In spite of this, however, we believe
that whether we regard the rint theoretically
or
cogiiially, there is nothing beyond mere
prejudice to rapport it. Is the British soldier
so different from the rest of his countrymen that
he must needs have • special form of punishment
designed for him I Are hat offences so heinous
that the ordinary modes of criminal treatment
will not in his cue suffice I It seems to us that
we have always made a mistake in our estimate
of what the soldier should be. Taking it for
granted that ite must be • worthier; and disreput-
able fellow, we have sought to restrain him by
terror ratitr than by kindness tempered by
firoinees ; and while we have endeavoured by
every means in our power to mitigate the severity
of criminal punishment, we have not thought
fit to alter in the lent the cruel spasm by which
the erring soldier is taught to amend his ways.
lithe Int is necessary for our army, there must
be something terribly rotten in its constitution.
Better that men who are thought to deserve and
require such barbarous psniament should be
drummed at ones out of the service, than that
they should be allowed, with their contaminat-
ing influences, still to wear the Queen's uniform.
We must in these times raise the character of
the army, otherwise the class we are so anxious
to enlist will still hold aloof. It may be desir-
able to increase severity in time of war, en
czt/s4l
even then some more respectable mode of -
EMMA than the cat-o'-nine-tails might be • I
But as • means of punishment in times of pesos,
we should my, let dogging be done away with.
Instead of dreading any bad am* from the
change, we have • most sanguine belief that the
' happmet results would follow.

Tombs (on.behalf of Chalmers) ofhted to make Mr.

THE FENIANS.

The Fenian Insurrection his been snppreeed,
we may say, in a week. It began on Ash
Wednesday, and last Wednesday it was virtually
at an end. There were apprehensions that •
renewed outbreak might occur on St. Patrick's
day (last Sunday), but we find that it passed
over without anything serious occurring. From
all parts of Ireland we hear of tranquility pre-
vailing, and of the trains being very regular in
their arrival. The rising throughout, extensive
as were its ramifications. was • miserable and
an abortive movement. There were many mis-
chievovs plotters at work in the United States
and in Ireland, but in vain they have aechemed
and toiled. The result is creditable to the con-
stabulary of the sister island, and to the action
of the military authorities ; but what is of still
more consequence, it is creditable to a large
proportion of the Hiberniana themselves, for,
after all, with the exception of the outbreaks at
Dublin and Drogheda, and in their neighbour-
hood, the whole rising has been confined ii the
main to one province in Ireland—to Munster;
Ulster and Connaught having been tranquil
throughout. The priests, the middle classes, and
the farmers have b,ia aloof ; thanks to the wise
and conciliatory leeislation of the last thirty
I years, they have been taught tbat England
mains *ell to Ireland.
