ANEcDoTE OF Tom CoRwIN.--When the
late Iom Corwin was quite young
man he was elected a Member of the
General Assembly of the State of Ohio
and early in the session he brought in
a bill for the destruction Of the public
whippins-post. He made an earnest
speech in favor ofthe measure, to which
an elderly member replied as follows -
" Mr.. Speaker, the gentleman is not as
old as | am, and has not seen as much
OF the practical operation Of the system
of punishment which he desires to abol-
ish. When l lived in Connecticut. if a
fellow stole horse, or cut up other an
tics, we used to tie him up and give him
a real good threshing and he alwayg
cleaned Iightout, and we never saw anv
thing more of him. It's the best way
of getting rid of the rogues that ever
was tried and without expense to the
State" Mr.. Corwin, who never failed
to carry his point by joke, if the argu-
ment was against him, only made
brief reply "Mr. Speaker, 1 have Of
ten been puzzled to account for the vast
emigration from Connecticut to tho
West; but the gentleman last up has ex-
planned it to my satisfaction" 1t is al
most needless to say that MIR. Corwin's
bill passed by an overwhelming major
ity.
