The Whipping Post.

tka0m the Phila. Evening Bulletin. Of Thursday }
Al accounts agTso in asserting that the Sheriff
Of New Castle county did not apply the lash yeg-
friday With any degree of vlgoT 90 the shoulders
q tue Wilmington bank robbers who stood at the
New cAslla ,ItlPRing7pOst. We certainly shall
nos cOmp!aiu that this punishment was not made
a. cruel as II might have BEEN but the lenisncy OF
th0 Sheriff upon this occasion supplies an aFgu-
ment against the use OF the lash which is stronger
than any that can be offered upon other grounds.
The Court wo will! say, directs that forty lashes
shaa be given TO 70 criminal The SheFitf, ii he
ts brutaly dnpOssd, can kill his victim with that
aarnOer Of hloGs, or he eau touch him so lightly
tAat the proceeding Will be utterly flrcial We
npeDrt that this law which permits au exscutive
Oficer to use such large screion rs that la mat
tor ct thb kiud is inhuman, unjust and danger
Gus. The court cannot accurately tix the measure
OF the punishment The Sheriff himself deter
mines IL He can wreak his vengeance upon an
enemy or he can permit friend TO escape almost
uascathed. II he Is a corrupt man he can defeat
the ends OF just &C By accepting br'bs IRON the
victim, and VI he Is timid he may permit his fear
OF . peTsonat assault IRON the prisoners tfiends
20 induce him 20 10 the lash teI.dcrly. Leaving
bVary olhbr cbnsiderati6u out Of the quest On,
this Is enough to show the improperly of such q
mode OF punishment. Tho court alone should
have the authority 10 InAict penalties, and an ex.
acntiVS Utiicer should bs competent OIIy to obey
Wilh skaotnees the order received from the bench
Under any other system abuse Is certain. There
will surely be too great inclination to mercy OF
TO much barbaTily ii individual officer is per
fnltted te do as he pleascs without having any re-
qponsibility for his actions or for its results.
The above is copied from the editorial columns
Of paper WHICH had a reporter on the spot who
witnessed the whipping. Comment Is useless.
