Ohean Justice.

There is sense in which 'Fchesp
justice" has become proverbisl. But
in a very different sense economy is
urged as an argument il favor Of
the 'sreal article" of justice which
Virginia has concluded to mete out
at the whippiDg-post to a certain
class of offenders. Hereafter no
convict will be sent to the peniten-
tiary in that state for a period less
than three years. All the petty
rogues will be compelled to receive
tie SHINE and thirty" if they are
male; if female the court may use
its discretion in sentencing either
the whipping-post or to prison. 1t
is predicted by local authorities
that crime will be a good deal di-
minished by substituting this kind
of punishment for board and lodg-
ing in jail or penitentiary. People
in other states, burdened with tax
es, are looking on inquiringly. The
N. o. Picayune abiding to the
matter says:
'The whipping-post Institution
is re-established In Virginia and
the disposition to try it is spread
ing to other states particularly
North Carolina. The newspapers
are discussing the question with
fresh interest and the idea meets
with more federation than one
would expect, judging from the
universal denunciation of flogging |
for petty offences when it was only |
prscticed by stout little Delaware.
There are certainly things to be
said in favor of it. It is cheap, ex-
peditious and efficacious; but the
greatest of these Is it's cheapness.
No jails, no guards, no clothing, no
food, is required for such culprits.
Nothing but g simple unostenta-
tiOus post with perhaps a ring and |
a staple, q whip and a constable.
ALI this will cost after the trial, for
the punishment of q chicken thief,
about a dollar and sixty-two cents
per thief. That is very economical.
To punish the same offenders by |
feeding, guarding,
ETC., would cost the state at least /
five hundred dollars per thief, on
an average
