THE TRIBUNE AND TIMES SUMMARIZES OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
New York, Nov. G.--The Tribune estimates
the new Legislature as follows: Senate. Republi-
cans 1S, Democrats ID. Assembly, Republicans
II, Democrats 81. The returns are very meagre
and there may be three or four more democrats
elected to the Assembly, but there is no reason to
doubt that there will be a Republican majority.
The above estimate gives Democratic gain of
nine Senators and eleven Assemblymen.
The Times claims twenty Republican Senators
and sixty-fyc Republican Assemblymen elected,
against forty-scyen Democrats, with sixteen to
hear from, Or in doubt
The Democratic majority in the State is esti-
mated at nineteen thousand.

THE AUTUMN wnIppINes AT DOVER.

THE AUTUMN wHIpPINes AT DOVER.
DOVER, Nov. 8, 1867.
This enlightened and Christian community
were benefited % on Saturday last by the semi
annual public exhibition Of whipping which
usually takes place during the regular sittings of
our Court of General Sessions and Jail Delivery
The victims were both white and colored, and
their offences and conviction were faithfully
chronicled by your correspondents report of
Court proceedings. We do not set ourselves up
as their especial advocate, but for the sake OF Il
common humanity we cannot but, with you, pro-
test against the shocking barbarity and plain in
consistency Of our State statute in this respect.
The day before this whipping took Place, a Jury
justly convicted man for cruelty Whipping his
own niece, and the Court sentenced him to pay
800 fine. Those who were present at the trial
listened with satisfaction to tho sentence, and
only had to regret that 1t was so light. He was
condemned and reprobated as merciess wretch
who deserved much scverer sentence. Now
| mark the inconsistency of our statute In regard
to public whipping. Public indignation had not
become settled from the effects of making public
the facts connected with the cruel treatment Of
the child, the sentence of our Court in the case
had scarcely died away, before the strokes FILLING
| upon the bare backs OF the unfortunate prisoners
oil the State, and their suffering cries, rent the
air. The stiifened cow-hide cut like n knife the
| flesh of those who were forced to undergo this
severe punishment, and the blood trickled and
| fell from their lacerated wounds.
In a community where the public laws com
mand the execution of such extreme measures
what other results can naturally be expected tC
follow than those of individual harshness and Sc
verify? Private cases of severe whipping and
other severe or harsh treatments melted to human
beings cannot but be expected when the State ia
its sovereign capacity too often sets before hel
children such pernicious examples. 1t is pool
consistency to punish man for private cruelty
when by our laws our officials are forced to bea
men who are made and fashioned in the image O.
their Maker, as though they were unfeeline
| brutes. G.

MEssRs. EDIToRs I'm late issue of your pa
pei and in the Republican, We find a statement
which Is positive ialsehood. The article says;
The Presbyterian Synod met at Danville, Pa.
Last week, and after the statement of the differ

llfst Presbyterian church of this city, sustained
ilc course of the opponents of the Rev. DR..
Landls." In our reproduction of 1t, we said
The Republican states" &C., Sc.-EDs.
Now for the truth. On Friday morning. the
iSlh, the Synod voted that all the papers in re-
terence to The church difficulty should go before
lhc Judiciary Committee. We were summoned
To meet the committee after dinner. We debat-
GU the whole subject before them. during the af-
lcfhoon, and evening" On Saturday morning, the
| report of the committee was read to the SyHod.
We were ready and anxious for the trial. Some
Trend of our opponents called for the records
!he minutes of the Presbytery. Without them
| lhc trial could not go on. But no records were
Present. Why were they not there Mr. L. rose
| and apologized for their Absence He suid the
Jerks wife was sick, and he could not bring
Them but promised tosend them to Mr. E. by ex,
| press. The Synod manifested swift Indignation
at this trifing; ordered Mr.. Z. to telegraph for
Them, Immediately; and adjourned the case till
Monday afternoon. Several hours after an an
sswer came that Mr.. N, the Clerk, had gone to
Downingtown, and the records could not be sent
FINALLY the whole case was adjourned till the next
meeting of Synod. The fact was palpable to
nearly every one, that the Presbytery were SC
certain that our cause would be sustained by the
synod, that they took this mode to defeat us
ihey were too cowardly to meet us in q fair tria
before the Synod. q

lloSoR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.-A New Or
leans special dispatch to the Philadelphia Evening
Thgraph says >
Two fine steamer tugs, the Achilles and the
Thomas A. Morgan, which were recently built In
Philadelphia by Messrs. s. 81 j. NJ Flanagan, of
That city, have just arrived at this port. During
their long voyage they worked admirably, and dis
played the most thorough sea-going qualities"
Ignorance may justify the sending of such u
dispatch, but the Telegraph can hardly plead ig-
nornce in regard to the falsity Of the assertion
that either of these boats were built in Philadel-
phia As we once before stated when one of the
inqairer's reporters grow enthusiastic over the
homer due to Philadelphia on account of building
these boats, Philadelphia workman never struck
hammer to either of them. The Thomas A. Nor
| gQa, like most the boats plying between Phadel-
phla and other ports, was built in Wilmington.
She was always sent here for repairs, and when
becoming too old to continue to be used as q
steamboat, but her hull still being too good to
throw away, it was concluded to turn her into a
tns boat. She was sent here again to be cut down
AMI altered, and Philadelphia never saw her again
until the alterations were entirely completed
The Achilles, on the other hand, was built In
New York, and had her machinery put in her al
Chester. They arc, we believe, n very fair couple
OF tlly-boats, and though neither of them arc bet
lc than dozens of other boats that yards have
turned out still IL they had been built in Philade
pla they would have been quite enough for it Il
bag On, as they were not, however, this persisten
pulling looks somewhat out OF place,
