Gen. Reu. Rrice.

A letter from an old friend in Washing
ton, not at all connected with the Govern
ment. draws our attention to an article
which appeared some weeks since in re-
gard to the reduction of the clerical force
of the Pay Department, of which Gen. B.
w. BRIcE is the head. The reduction it
seems was made by order of Congress, and
not. BY the Paymaster General, and al
though the law was wrong and Gid great
injustice to soldiers waiting for the settle
ment of their accounts. yet the Paymaster
General is doing his hest, with the force he
has, to promptly settle all claims on his
Department. ---
GEN. BRIcE is native Ohioan, and our
correspondent speaks in the highest praise
of his efficiency and in. no shape, form or
manner as deserving of censure in his Off
cial capacity. hf

were asked by the Court if they had any

replied by making strong speeches, in

the legality of their trial without mixed

A Manhood Whipped I'm Delaware
for Crime.

a Manhood Whipped In Delaware
for Crime.
The Radical press are just now severely
exercised at the punishment of Negro
convicted of an assault upon two White
women, by a fiogging at the public whir-
ping post, In Sussex county, Delaware.-
For the purpose of making political capital
out OF the affair, the Journal OF this city has
as one of the head lines to the article, that
Delaware is "a good old Democratic State"
The same Negro. thus flogged, it is thought
will be sentenced to death at the next term
of the Court, for the additional crime of
committing rape on White woman.
We are not now, and never was, the ad-
vocate of public flogging. In the early set
tlement of Ohio, and until after the war of
1872 every Court House in the State had its
whipping post, where the Sheriff, with
raw hide, flogged men convicted of petit
larceny. Many of the best men in the State
| justified it at that time, as the most effective
punishment for the smaller Otlenses. A
man once whipped at the public whipping
post, never was known to remain in the
same neighborhood. He always left for
parts unknown. AR ~ 7e-a gr Tiu
| Another law, which Ohio had and en-
forced for time, was the selling of men
convicted of light offenses to the buyer,
who would take them for the shortest period
and pay the fine, or, failing this, would
bid the largest amount for their services
for a given period. These laws were wiped
from our statute book-the first named is
still in force in Delaware, and because of
this, and because that State is now Demo-
cratic, and flogs negro tor an aggravated
crime, the Journal and its kindred prints
seek to make political capital out of the
fact that s.Manhood" was f1ogged.
| Flogging, until few years past, was one
of the punishments awarded to sailors en-
listed in the Navy of the United States, for
trifing offences. When the bill, which
did away with this tiogging, was pending
in the House of Representatives at Wash
| ington, ROBERT c. SCHENcK, then as
now an anti Democratic member of Con-
gress, stood forward as the champion of
logging white sailors-insisting that with
out the cat-O-nine-tails, discipline could
not be preserved. Will the Journal please
ScHENcK, comes up again for Office, give
m the benefit of his vote and his speeches
in favor of the whipping of American sail
ors who neglected to touch their hats to a
beardless boy, in the undress of midship-
man?
During the war, we well remember read
ing accounts of men who were tortured by
the thumb screw in the State of New
York, to make them confess crimes in Or
der that the proof of guilt might thus be
procured. This was done without the
shadow of shade of law or justice. Be-
cause the outrages were committed by men
who wore straps on their shoulders, the
Journal has no censure to bestow. A ne
gro, convicted by due course of law, for a
high crime and the sentence of fogging
being executed at the public whipping
post, is, in the eyes of the Journal editor,
an outrage that demands at the hands of
the people, revolution in the politics of
the State.

the township was enormously assigned to

nam the Watch is regarded as only machine, to
be oeconstructed likean other machines on mechan-
principles. If the Watches are good it is be-
cause the machinery is good. OF course there
must be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes shapes Of
the pieces OF which it is comrosed-nothing want

means of multiplying guages and microscopes, tests

from beginning to end. As q Necessary result, tho

The precise manner in which the crime
was accomplished can never be known.
Near the top of the stairway, in the WALL
were four or five holes, evidently made by
bullets. The circumstances indicated that
when the helpless girl became aware of the
intention OF Gregory, that she was alone
with man maddened by rage, Jealousy,
and all the haser passions, who was intent
upon taking her lite, she endeavored to
avail herself of the only possible avenue of
escape, by the skylight at the head of the
stairway, to the root, Gregory having
locked the entrance door, and placed the
key in his pocket. The terrified girl fled
p up the dark stairway. but was unable to go
further, and then, in all probability, he
discharged several shots at his victim with
out effect. A subsequent examination of
the body showed that the fatal bullet had
entered the lett temple, and must have
caused instant death. The face was black
ened as if by powder, and it is supposed
that the fiend incarnate, bent upon the
full accomplishment of his purpose, after
the ineffeci ual shots, went up to her, placed
the muzzle of the weapon directly against
her head, and finished his bloody work.
THE SUICIDE.
The entire tragedy is shrouded in the
deepest mystery, and save the ghastly and
bloody realities which the scene presented.
IL Will IN all PROBABILITY thus remain until
the final revelation of all secrets. Conjec-
ture alone can fill up the dark picture.
During the investigation of the affair, the
question was started, whether it were posi-
BILE that third person could have acted a
part in the terrible drama. murdered both,
and made his escape. The letter might
have been written by another and placed
in Gregory's pocket to divert suspicion. 1t
was the universal opinion, however, that
the matter could not possibly be explained
on that hypothesis, that there could not be
a shadow OF doubt that he had murdered the
girl and then killed himself.
From the appearance of the body OF the
former. the physicians expressed the Opin-
ion that she had been dead at least twenty
