FLoaa1Na. Readers OF the police report,
in the Gazette for q week or so past, have no
ticed that offenders were frequently whipped
and discharged. Now, however desirable and
proper fogging may be for minor Offences it is
a mode of punishment which the Mayor does
not cause to be inflicted unless at the option Of
the offender who prefers it to the alternative
fines or imprisonment. No Obstruction is made
on account Of color. Three white men were
hogced one day last week. The culprit has a
6ne imposed upon bin he says he cannot or
will not pay it he is then sentenced to impris
onmsnt in the work house, hut as shat would
be burdensme to the city-he IS told that it
is optional with him to serve out the term or
take a Jogging. 1.-The elects the latter he is
led to the station house, stretched prone upon
a bench under which his hands are manac!ed;a
policeman then sits upon his ANGLES, while
another, with a deaf board, applies the blows
varying in force and number according to the
character of the offence with which be is
charged. Often after the first wback, the
man rcpents of bis choice and demands that
it shall cease, but when once commenced it IS
always flushed. White culpritS punished IN
this way invariably leave the city forthwith
but the colored ones don't seem TO mind the
disgrace a. muob as the agony of its iLfictiOn.
