A city correspondent writes: There eau be
no doubt that the statutes enacted for punish.
mcnt of crimes and misdcmeanOrs in Virginia
are fairly enforced, with utter disregard Of
color. Any other suppu,itiOn would imply
suspicion quite disrrputable to officials Of the
'Old Dominion Accepting, then, the unques-
toned fact that punishmcnts, including the
amenities of the whipping post, are equitably
distributed, there is reason TO congratulate
the good people Of Fuirtax Court House
and vicinity on the exemplary conduct
of the white population Of that section, for not
one of them has tasted the sweets Of the lash,
while their colorcd ncighLOrs have enjoyed
this magnificent disciplinary appliance with
ut stint, and Sin contiyuC to profit by this
humane and bcnchCcnL institution This
fact, which speaks volumes in favor Of the
whites Of that locality, wa: learned from d
Fairfax constable who has held office fOI three
YEARS, and listed this city a few days ago to
procure a signature q his bond fOI n new OH.

Evidently awell.firnishcd hcn-roost has no
seductive influence upon the poor whites Of
Fairfax; nor does u newly stocked smoke
house ever tempt an impccunious Caucasian
resident of that cnviablc VicinaEe. For, In
that proud old Commonwealth, there is no
spucamish scntimontality that would connivc
ut such injustice rs discrimination on account
Of color In the matter VI Furnishing offenders.
Let us hope that the civilizng influence of the
whippingpost and the equitable distribution
of Its cnuObling fayots will soon effect entire
publication Of Nirginia's moral atmosphere.
Then the lover of music, as he listens with
nvishcd ear to the mcliAuous click and jubi-
liant jingle of the hcll.punch noting sales of
cheering beverages in Virginia saloons aud tap
rooms, will not he panied with the discordant
notes of the INSTALLING lash or the shricks Of
Its victims. Then will the constable fold his
cat 'o-ninc-tails and gently lay IL away, re-
joicing IN his honest heart that 81 humble and
economical an instrument has made such grand
music for the march Of human progrcss.'
Then will the carly rrcning spring chicken
