CHILD WHIPPED TO DEArH.-The account
of the whipping to ieah of q child three years
old by its father, clergyman, because ii
would not say its prayers, near Medina, pub
lished yesterday, awakened the greatest indig.
nation OF our citizens against the inhumar
father. The report was hardly credited so
unnatural and monstrous was the crime com
mitted We blush to say it, but the most
sickening and dreadful part OF unparalleled
horror was not published.
Lindsey's CHATS the moastor's name J
statement before the 0oroner's jury, given
yesterday, was corroborsted by other Witness
es before the jury. The body of the child told
more plainly and pathetically than words
could of the terrible punishment it had under
gone. Several of it's fingers were broken and
the blood had oozed from every pore. To con-
ceal the crime the father had tied the little
ones hands behind it's back and pinced il in
Its coffin. While the physicians were making
post t-mortem examination of the body, he
sat by, looking coolly at the proceedings =
After n while he spoke aud aske them If they
had not carried this thing about far enough2'
The physicians discovered no disease ABOUT
the child-it died solely from excessive and
cruel Punishment. The little one would have
been three years old in August-whpped to
death because it wouli not say its prayers.
We are told that Lindsey justlfies the cruel
work. He thinks it was his duty to punish
hls child NATL his will was broken and be
obsyed. Lindsey was arrested yesterday and
commltted 10 jail in Albion. It was with the
utmost difficulty that the officers who had
him ia charge could keep the citizens Of Ne
dina and neighborhooi from lyuching the
murderer on the spot. Lindsey is man abou,
hve feet eight inches in height, well proper
tipned, has black whiskers and dark complex
ion. He has the appearance of mau of
violent temper.
The murder is the all absorbing topic OF Or
leaus county.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

The Temperance law has been declared uu.
constitutional, by the same Judge we referred
to In our last letter, in terms by no means
commendable. This is n result we anticipa-
ted. Rum and ruin sway this city. Good
laws have always been disregarded or else
stricken from the statue book. Men have east.
ly been found in high positions who can be
bought up by the brothel keepers in Green
Street and the Five Points. The army of grog-
sellers have more influence than all the veal
thy citizens of Fifth Avenue and Madison
Square. The temperance men will test the
new law by carrying It to a higher court, and
In the mean time the death and ruin dealers
will be arriving their trade with new energy.
No new oases Of cholert have been reported
during the past week. The city is in remark
able heath, and all fear of a sweeping pesti-
lence has passed away. The Beard of Health
is still using its best efforts to preserve the
health of our population. The measures a.
dopted are very complete, and the city was
never in more clean condition. Twelve min
listers of the Episcopal Church have offered
their services to wait upon choleta patients,
niyht or day, whenever they are demanded
with all these preparations, we see no reason
Tor the stampede made from the city by many
persons. Greater danger may be incurred by
going elsewhere, as there have been cases In
other places. We believe New York is better
prepared to resist the approach of the disease
than any other city.
The Fenians violated the sanctity of last
Sunday oy holding grand frolic in Jones'
Wood. Stephens made speech in which he
predicted there would be great war in Ire
and next year. He did not state his views OF
he fourth commandment, or whether a half
irunken Feniau gathering was enc way of
resping the Sabbath holy. ALPHA.

The CosT OF AN ELEcTIoN TO PARLIAMENT
During the debates on the English Reform
BILL great many rather strange things about
our cousins acroes the ocean have come out.
II will be remembered that some twenty of
the members of the present Parliament were ur =
seated for bribery in procuring their eli ,ions.
In the recent speech on the Reform bill, how
ever, very interesting statement lie made of
the expenses OF the eandidates in some of the
counties and boroughs, which shows how much
1t costs to go to Parliament For Stafford, the
election cost the candidates $27, 900. West
minister, $50, 900, North Durham cost S73, 200;
South Durham $55 900; North Essex cost
$50 900, and South Essex $50 900; West Kent
$50 900; South Lancashire $s5 900, and the
North Riding of Yorkshire $I35 900 Nearly
all the other boroughs and coInties cost in
proportion. Some Of the foregoing were
doubtless for legitimate expenditures, fir even
the election 4 John Stuart Mill, who was re-
turned by popular exclamation, cost 81 l, 500.
This was paid by his constituents But d
great deal Off was spent in sheer bribary I'm
corruption. 1t was the keen recollection of
these heavy outlays that had as much to do
with saving the British Ministry in the recsnt
crisis there as the probability Of war. The
Ministry had proclaimed il eaten on the Reform
bill they would dissolve Parliament and gp
peal to the country, and this brought to thsir
senses great many members who had no
fancy for paying out such immense Gums
twice within oue bear for the privilege of re-
taiaiug their seats.
