Of Justice, and is 80 regarded by many Of our
most conservative people. SO long ago ~ 1855,
when the State advanced t4OO, 900 Of its bonds to
the Junction Il Breakwater road, the request was
made that the Legislature should do something
for the railroads Of Northern Delaware, but this
latter request WAS not granted. Again, in 1873,

tributing 100000 in all, to develope and improve

the other two counties.
II the aid thus extended had been free gift,
taking the sum represented directly out Of the
treasury. we should hesitate to urge that any
thing further should be done OF the same kind,
even az all act Of justice. But the policy has
proven success. The bonds advanced are now
secured, dollar for dollar, and the reasonable
prospect is that the State will not be called on
to give anything beyond what was at first asked
and granted-the loan Of her credit. She has
greatly improved the material condition Of the
people, has helped them to better markets, and
increased tile value and tax-payng power of
their lands. Now, the question 49, will not the
policy be supplemented and perfected by doing
something for the Development Of the Northern
section of the State. Our people are large tax
payers, and deserve equal favor with those Of
any other county. Will the Legislature recog-

The Lash u. Pun1.l, men,

The advocates OF the use OF the lash as a
means OF punishment are very fond of quoting,
in support Of their theories, the fact that in
Great Britain hogging has boon authorized in
certain criminal cases. and the very common NJ.
sertion that 1t has been exceedingly effective il,
checking the crimes Of which it iH the penalty.
1t would appear, however, that the remedy is
not 80 complete ~ i. is claimed to be. Lord Alb
erdare recently declared in court at Cardiff that
the popular belief upon this subject is sltogeth-
or wrong. He said, in substance:
There was no idea more prominently fixed in
the English mind ut the present moment than
that the punishment Of logging has put an end
to garotting. He happened to be appointed to
the Home Office al Under Secretary in Noyem-
Der, 1862, and the outbreak had taken place in
the previous July. There were many cases of
garotting, and the offenders escaped with i'm
pnnity, the consequence being that the crime
increased. The streets were filled with police in
plan clothes, and in November the whole Of
these garotters were in custody. In some twen-
ty-hve Cases which had been reported there was
only one genuine case when they came to be ex-
amined into. Lord Aberdare said he had q dis

perieI'ce OF II In his youth, but also from it's
general effect. He thought 1t brutalizing pun.
islment, and one only to be resorted to where
absolutely necessary. He thought they would
incur great danger in entruHting magistrates 10

VheOdOsia BURR ASTON,

The old story Of the sad fate of Aaron Burr's
daughter is brought to mind in the narrative Of
Jean Baptiste Carstre, one Of Lattte's men, re-
siding IN Calcasieu, La, who writes to the Gal
weston Netcs that after LAfitte abandoned his
adventurous career, Chauvet, his first leuten-
ant, took command Of the Vengeance, and sailed
into the gulf for = cruise. He captured the
American privateer schooner Patriot, bound from
Georgetown s. G., to New York. Every person
on board was put to the sword or made food for
the sharks. After disposing Of the dead Chau-
vet descended into the CABIN, and soon called ont
in All angry tone for Callistre and the mate to
go to him. They found him in the cabin con-
fronted by beautiful woman who held an
empty bottle in her hand, with which she had
struck Chsuvet, who had attempted to make
too free with her. He ordered them TO tie
her hand and foot, convey her on board OF
the Vengeance and place her in his cabin
She fought the men and did all she could to
jump overheard. Callistre says she died q
