Judge SWavnA.

"E. d. NJ, in the Cincinnati Ca
zette, pays Judge Swayne a very
high compliment for his recent de-
cision sustaining the constitutional
ity of the Civil Rights Bill, deliv-
cred in the United States Circuit
Court for the District of Kentucky.
He says it carries one back to the
days of Marshall on the Supreme
Bench. The case is one in which
white persons, convicted of bur
glary upon the house of a black
woman, upon her evidence, moved
for arrest of Judgment on the
grounds that the Civil Rights law.
under which the indictment is
brought, is unconstitutional, and
that Kentucky law does not allow
blacks to testify against whites.
Judge Swayne fully sustained the
constitutionality of the law. He
shows that citizenship does not de-
pend on the States; that the term
citizen is analogous to subject In
common law, and that all persons
born within the United States, or
naturalized, are citizens. He also
shows that the National Govern
ment has repeatedly made citizens
by treaty, and that its power of
naturalization is not limited by
color. Under that it may natural
ize all Africa, if its inhabitants come
here. 1t might also do this if we
should annex Africa. He shows
that the pretence that the National
Government has not the power to
declare the extent Of citizenship, is
absurd and historically untrue. He
also shows that the constitution
gives black persons the rights Of
citizenship in all the States, by the
clause that the citizens of each State
shall be entitled TO all the privileges
md immunities Of citizens in the
several States. Even the limitation
1f the term citizen to voters would
1ot exclude the blacks, for negroes
voted in five States when the con-
'titution was adopted. The Judge
leld that the power was generally
conferred upon Congress to enforce
Ill the provisions of the constitu-
ion by proper legislation, ard that
he Civil Rights act is legal.-0hio

Of the lash showed very plainly on
his white skin, and his faee twitched
conyulsNely. lie cried and moan.
cd considerably White men, II II
said, never stand it as st0lidly as
the blacks, Joseph Riggs, anoth-
er white man, quite young, convict
ed Of stealing clothes, iewelsy DC,
next received twenty lashcs His
back was deeply marked, but ho
stood it bravely, and like one Of the
colored men, went off to Jail with 4
forced laugh. The next, and for
that day the last victim, was Wm.
Mayer, tall young German, con
yicted of stealing some goods at
Middletown. He seemed more hui
inflated than any Of the others, and,
as soon as taken to the post, hung
down his head and commenced weep
ing bitterly. He made no outcry,
but showed by his facial contor-
tions and the shrinking Of his body
the physical pain he suffered. He
received twenty lashes, which show
ed very plainly on his clear white
skin.
THE MANNER OF THE WHIPPING,
The prisoners are stripped to the
waist in the Jail, a blanket is then
thrown over them and they are
brought to the yard; the blanketis
removed and the wrists pinioned to
the post The Sheriff then applies
the whip, with its nine leather
thongs, so that man really receives
nine times as many lashes as there
are blows struck; the man who re-
ceiyes forty, for instance, really re-
ceives three hundred and sixty. As
soon as the man is whipped, the
blanket is thrown over him and he
is taken back to Jail. The severity
Of the punishment is greatly mitiga-
ted, 50 far as the physical suffering
is concerned, by the humanity Of the
Sheriff who loathes the work which
5he law makes part of his duty
Though welts were raised by the
.hongs, no blood was drawn on Sat
lrday, as is frequently the case when
ess humane men ferform the dis.
,usting duty. 1t is due to Sheriff
Ierbert's humanity to say that he
eemed to suffer as much mental
'ain from the performance as di
ny of the victims. Such was net
he case, however, with many ofthe
pectators, who really took pleas
ire in the scene, especially the chill
-ren, who went out of the yard af-
er the Terformance with yell of
eight.

The Desolate Heart.

o desOlate heart cease thy throbbing,
The peace | crave eachmoment robbingi n
That blest tranquility fain would possess
Let not thy thoughts of by gone years,
Be-dim my eyes with bitter tears,
Or add to my minds heaylness.
o, aching heart let the future be
THY polar starr thy destiny,
Among the sons and daughters ofearth:
Cease thy troubling o ever cease,
And give instead, a blessld peace,
And emotions OF nObler birth,
o burdened heart a desert drear,
Without one green Oasis near
To beckon me on TO that "blissful Shore"
Where "the river of life" the lovely stream,
More beautiful than fairy dream
Flows gently on for ever more.
This life seems but dismal gloom,
"A charnel house;" living tomb,
To last throughout eternity; b.
No CLEAN Of hope appears, to light
Or drive away this darkest night
Or urge me on to victory.
0 vacant heart with care O'er cast,
Must grief and sorrow always last
To bind me down in blank despair
No twill not last, will be freel
I'll dissipate this misery,
And hope shall cheer me every where.
