for instance, whipping is a regular punish
ment, especially where negroes are the often
ders, and we are told that negroes prefer it to
imprisonment. What the choice OF the ne
groes has to do with the matter it is difficult
to say. Probably if their voices were to rule
they would not be punished at all. The
truth is, the whipping-post is a relic of barba-
rism and it ought to be abolished.

TRIBULATIoNs OF THE New YORK RING -
New York dispatches of yesterday say Mayor
Hail. Sweeney and Tweed held long secret
meeting on Wednesday to devise some means
OF forcing Comptroller Connolly to resign. 1t is
generally believed that charges of mafeasance
in office against all the members OF the ring will
be made. 1t is reported that Connolly will re-
sign as soon as the INDUCTION against the ring is
dissolved by Judge Barnard. 1t is reported
that if Connolly is forced from his position, it
will be rendered to Nathaniel Sands first. and
then to Hurry Tilton, who will accept it. Au-
gust Belmont is also anxious to secure tho
place, as he aud his house in Hamburg are
largely intereste in the city and county bonds
and many believe that his appointment would
strengthen the credit of the city.
The Tribune Thursday morning, referring to
the break 10 the ring" says: 1.-The idea thai

THE CIV FOR JIrSTIcE

THE Cry FOR JUsTICE.-The New York
papers are almost unanimous in denouncing
the members of .he ring and demanding re-
form. The following extract from the Ecen-
ing Mail is fair sample OF the feeling against
the Tweed-Connolly ring:
Sing Sing prison has hun dreds of inmates
who judged by any standard of ethics are far
less deserving of dlsgraceful confinement than
these two high officers of a great city. From
the Battery to Harlem there cannot be found
an intelligent boy who does not believe them
guilty OF the crimes with which they are
charged. Wherever in the wide world New
Yorker may travel he will feel the deep dis
grace that rests on the city that has hOnCred,
trusted, tolerated, and has not punished these
men. They now defy not only the honest
citizens OF New York, but their own colleagues
ia office. If their attitude does not enkindle
the righteous indignation of our citizens into
a consuming rage, then we have placed Tar
too high an estimate on the manhood that
shows itself in SO many ways in the private
life and pursuits of the men to whose ability
and integrity is contided the business of a
