The whipping Of white man, under the
new law, at Hampton, last Saturday, has been
telegraphed from one extremity OF the country
to the other, and is the SUI ject OF some neWspa'
Der comment. The whipping of white men tor
petit larceny here during the last year or two,
though rare, has not been such an extraordinary
occurrence as to warrant the notorlety that
attaches 10 tho Hampton affair, and VIC suppose
the importance paid by the newspapers to the
latter is attributable to the fact that the officer
who executed the sentence Of the Court Is
negro. 1t certainly goes against the grain IN
this section, at least, for negro to irtilct
stripes upon white man. but law, lift is, should
not DO respector of persons, and it white men
commit offences warrantipg stripes, and thereby
render themselves smenable to the punishment
intended to deter others from the commission
Of such offences, they must suffer the conse-
quence, and, with or against the grain, the law
must be enforced, and tho sentiment Of the
people must accommodate itself to our altered
condition.

to send copies, but by all means to retain pos

danger of the mutilation or perversion of such
records by the government We Can not imagine,
