The Whipping Post.

The Baltimore An,erican has Joined the
ranks of those who advocate corporal pun
ishment for certain offences. [: defines
its position as follows:
The whipping post is generally looked upon
to-day as a relic of barbarism, and its intro
duction would probably be viewed with as
much distavor as would the revival of the
stocks or the pillory for Migrants and female
scolds. The English Government, however,
seems to have faith in its efficacy as a moral
regenerator. Garroters and wife heaters have
generally added to their Imprisonment. both
in Great Britain and Canada, certain num-
Der OF lashes, and the punishment is said to
have had remarkable effect in reducing the
number of this class of crimes. 1t is custom
airy for travellers who visit England to tell of
the many cases of cruelty to wives which are
daily heard IN police courts. But our own
country IS rapidly gaining an unenviable rep
utation IN this respect, and hardly day
passes by in which we do not hear some sad
story of mans brutality and woman's suffer
ing. The offenders in such cases are gener-
ally punished by fine; and even if they are
given term of Imprisonment, that punish
ment has but little effect upon them, and the
STANCES are ten to one that when they are set

da, a man who had been convicted of assault
ing a woman was taken into the Jail yard, tied
up to triangle and given twenty nine lashes.
This dose will be repeated on May I'd, and
then he will be sent to prison for twenty
months. The judge, in sentencing him, said
that ''nothing short of severe corporal pun
ishment would reach the sensibilities of such
wretches.i
There is an often quoted passage in an old
play to the effect that the man who lays his
hand upon a woman, save in the way of kind
ness, we're one whom it were base flattery to
call villain. Not only is he villain, but a
coward; and there is no one who has greater
horror of physical punishment than your cow
ard or bully. The man who inflicts needless
pain on any helpless object, whether human
being or dumb animal, is the one who has
himself the greatest dread of pain and suffer.

by which our fathers sought to punish brutal
ity and check cruel instincts could again be
introduced they would be ten times more
effectual than either fine or Imprisonment

Our Worthless Navy.

The Hon. Richard W. Thompson, See
rotary of the Navy, has sent to the House
Committee on Naval Affairs a statement
Of the present condition of the navy, and
also his views as to its improvement.
Mr.. Thompson thinks that our navy is
worthless. Though over three hundred
millions Of dollars has been spent on it
since the war, there is not now a single
vessel in the service of any real value for
fighting purposes. We have not an iron
clad whose armor could not easily be
pierced by the projectiles of guns aAoat
in foreign navies. We have only twenty
nine cruising vessels, four of which are
despatch boats, and one of which, the
Wyoming, has just been pronounced I'M
seawOrthy, while another requires repairs
which will cost quarter Of million of
dollars. Out of eleven ships awaiting re-
pairs, at cost of nearly a million and a
half, four are too rotten to be serviceable,
and Of the others one has been condemned
as utterly worthless, after thirty or forty
thousand dollars had been spent on her.
Nearly thirty ships are good for nothing
except to break up. The monitor Puritan
viii not float when her armament is on
board, and the vessels in process of con-
struction are rotting away on the stocks.
This is the condition in which Mr..
Thompson finds the navy See. Robson
turned over to him. Yet we have spent
enough on our navy since the war to make
it one of the most formidable in the world.
whereas in reality it does not bear COM
parison with the navies of some of the
inferior South American States. Both
Mr. Thompson and Mr.. Whitthorne, the
Chairman of the Naval Committee, advise
an annual appropriation of from two to
three millions of dollars to gradually create
a new navy.

REsuMPTIoS.-Gold closed in New
York, on Saturday, at 1901, and on Mon
day it was as low as J. Some of the
city banks paid out gold in sums of $500
aud less, and spectators let go, as the
premium would no longer pay them. In
Chicago there we're symptoms of resump-
ton, gold being paid out by some of the
merchants The North western Bank has
advertised that it will redeem in that metal
all of its circulating notes that may be
presented at its counter At the Sub
Treasury $50 gold piece was received on
Saturday in exchange for currency, and a
bank deposited as currency three gold
checks. In Cincinnati, the Third Ma
tiOnal was to have begun resumption in
gold on Monday last, and it is thought the
other banks will follow its example The
orimania has quite subsidized and silver is
nearly at par with gold.

War Certain.

The Baltimore Daily Nelrs says Euro
pean advices still come to us oscillating be-
tween peace and war, but always bringing
illusions to the constant and mighty military
preparations by both England and Russia
That war is inevitable we have never doubted
and We have been always explicit in impressing
thefacttlat Her Majesty government will con-
sumo all the time necessary to secure allies and
equip herselffor the impending struggle. That
GREAT Britain intends to try conclusions with
Russia there has been every evidence already
furnished, from the aid Indirectly given to
Turkey during her last efforts, to the actual
confronting of the Cars army with her
threatening squadrons. There is no road to
peace save by the utter sacrifice Of honor and
interest on one side or the other. Russia
must ANONYMOUSLY yield ali that she has
fought Tor, or England must abandon all that
she has claimed and eEacted. Neither can
afford to do this.
