me Senate took a final vote on the admis-

unprecedented in duration and interest. Mr..

against the bill, and offered an amendment,

BY proclamation Of the President; If rejected
a new Constitutional Convention should be
called TO frame a new Constitution, which
should be submitted to the people for ratifica-
ton or rejection. This was rejected and the
bill passed by 33 to %. Before the passage
OF the Bill, it was amended so as to declare
the right of the people of Kansas to alter or
abolish this Constitution through Legislative
action whenever they may think proper to do
so. This Bill was sent to the House where
its merits were discussed more or less till the

people Of Kansas to change their Constitution

HE DELAWARE WHIPPING PosT.-The same
Fhiladelphian on whom we have made such a
large draft elsewhere, thus speaks of one of the
great institutions of our State-the " whippiup
post"-a great terror to "outside barbarians."
We should have stopped bere, but it would
be gross neglect were we TO fail in a need OF
praise to one of the best institutions of the
State of Delaware-the whipping post. We
saw one of these inventions behind the Citv
Hall at Wilmington, and another at New Castle
in the jail yard. The whipping post is bless
ing to the State, and works with the most sat-
isfactory results. In Delaware petty crimes
are almost unknown, and all because of the ne.
cullar mode of punishment there in vogue We
are informed that but two cases were ever
heard o! where a white man was hogged twice.
One of these was a man who had broken into n
farm house on the edge Of the country. He
was convicted and received thirty-nne lashes,
payable in instalLnents. While receiving his
first allowance he swore necessarily, not 60
much en- account of the pain he suffered but, to
use his own language, {" because he had been
such id fool as to cross the Delaware line "
When he committed the robbery, he supposed
himself still in the State OF Pennsylvania. II
is very much to be questioned whether the in.
slitutlon OF the whipping post would not be one
of the very best Preventlves to crime if prac-
tised universally. Of one thing, however we
feel fully assured, and that is that the man who
lives 10 see the practice abolished in Della ware.
