The Whipping-Post.

f - a sF
We are somewhat surprised to see that
tho Kentucky Senate has laid on the table
the bill to reestabllsh the whippiDg-post.
We say we are surprised at this in Ken
lucky, where men are stern and stout and
practical, and where mock philanthropy is
scarce, IL it has any existence at all. But
we begin to suspect that demagogism has
found q Judgment amongst the solid men OF
Kentucky, as we'll as amongst the legislators
Of most all the southern States, under the
fearful social revolution OF the times. The
consideration that in whipping afelon a
voter might be whipped no doubt prevailed
to carry the bill to the table. Philanthropy
! had nothing to do with its Fate.
Soft is in other things that the public in
terests are subordinated to the polite view
taken by the demasogne. For instance,
the measures TO encourage sheep culture,
by protecting sheep from dogs, all fail be
cause the dog has q cote. IS. n. I
The criminal policy Of this country has
become inefficient because OF too much
philanthropy. The delusiye idea that crime
was TO be ended by Kindness to robbers and
house-burners, sneak-thieyes and cut
throats that Villains and murderers were
TO be made honest men and gentlemen By
preaching and forgiveness, have paralyzed
the law and disarmed the police. Felons
are not TO Sbe roughly treated. Their feel.
siDgs are not to he wounded. They must be

[For the Dispatcl.1
:. Vsuhlie schools In DANCER

Messrs. Editors,-In reply to your CORE
spendent .'S.'' would say that if the pub
lie schools were what they ought to be
places for plain, practical education to be
taught, and not for foreign and dead Ian
guages that not one scholar in one thousand
ever make use of after quitting school, and
not for nursing children from five to eight
years of age, but make it law that no child
under eight, and, better still, nine, years Of
age should be allowed to attend public
schools-it would be better for the health
of the child, and it would learn faster when
it did 60, and public schools would not bea
burden, as they now. are, and, OF course, in
no danger. II new aspirants for the City
Council were to run on the above they
would surprise the present ringites by the
demand made on them FOR their seats that
they have become TO think sinecures.

splsW honaysaxtrasss The sling from sba Inv

and healthy daclpiine which y so saiutary
lid the processes Of repentance end atone
ment. 4 Sc sss,
Thus Che prisons and penIsentiafies have
done absolutely nothing iii the way of re-
form, nd the men who hive passed through
them have come forth without repentance,
confirmed rascaIs, TO make their art ayaila-
BILE with more success than before their con-
fincuent and before that hardening process
which made them impenetrable to the moral q
sensibiIities, OF which there were some
traces In their minds until they entered
che so-called penitentidry, to part with them
forever. @
The whipping post would do more to put
a check upon crime and TO deter men from
repeating their felonies than all other proyi.
sions OF the law. II the lash were applied
to big thieves and little thieves without dis
tinction OF color, race, or previous condi-
ton of seryitude, the criminal docket
would shrink up aud the iails and peniten-
tiaries would be relieved Of fully half their
dodgers. Widen the range Of banging,
shorten the period OF Imprisonment, and
introduce the whipping-post for application
to eases OF burglary and stealing, and there
would be such change In the character and
Fnumber OF criminal cases that we might
well imagine we were in new country.
1t is for the want OF a more rigid admin
istration of the laws against ielonies ano
misdemeanors, and for the want OF more
Just graduation Of the retribution to the
crime, that we hear even in this advanced
period Of civilization Of so many cases o.
the Intervention OF Judge LYNCH.
Make crime odious by proper punish
ment, and the public security will be in
creased while crime will be decreased.

/ All the twaddIe as to President DAvIs's

a mans hat. In fact, General PRTCHARD,
of Michigan, who commanded the cavalry
detachment that captured Mr.. DAVIS, says
now:

THE You've MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
MEETING at THE SEvENTH-STREET CHRISTIAN
CHURCH tomorrow night is one of the series
Of such meetings which the Association has
been holding.
As a rule the Association has not held
meetings at hours conflicting with SER
vices in any OF the churches, and does not
propose to do so in future. Indeed it has
always so conducted its work as TO be in no
sense in conflict with the churches. But in
their great desire TO excite greater interest
in their noble efforts they have been hold
ing meetings at several of the churches
whose authorities have invited them to
do so.
The meeting tomorrow night will be ad-
dressed by several Of our best speakers, and
the occasion will be one OF great interest.
