THE LASH IN CANADA.
From the Toronto Globe.

Coulter was brought before Police
Magistrate Duff at Kingston and found
guilty. He was severely admOnished as
to the crime, and sentenced to one year
and 800 days in the Central Prison, and
to receive 48 lashes with a cat-O,nine-
tails, "a at the expiration of one month.
the other "a at the end of six months.
In accordance with the above SEN
tence, "a lashes were administered to
Coulter at the Central prison at o'clock
yesterday morning. The prisoner was
stripped and placed on the triangle. He
showed considerable terror at the ap-
preaching punishment. One of the
guards barred his arms, and, taking hold
of the instrument of torture, he swung
1t over his head and brought it down
with great force over the prisoners bare
back, who rOared with terror and pain,
and implOred the doctor to have mercy
upon him. His cries were unheeded
and again the blows fell with redOubled
force, while the victim continued his
cries for mercy. After the flogging was
over the prisoners back was bleeding,
the skin being broken, and he was taken
In the prison hospital, where a cloth
saturated with oil was placed over his
back, and he was ordered to do light
work for the eremainder of the day.

THE ENORMOUS PENSION FRAUDS,

Have been spoken of from time to time,
but seem to affect little the public
mind. The late Commissioner of PEN
siOns admitted that the frauds in his de-
partment formed large part of the
payments, in one class of cases reach
ing twenty per cent. According to this
there are many millions of dollars
annually stolen,
1t would seem by recent case ex-
posed under the new Commissioner that
these frauds are organized on business
principles and carried on by collusion
with those in the Office. The ring of
thieves, it would seem, extends inside as
well as outside of the Treasury and War
Departments. In no other way could
they succeed.
For years such ring has been known
to exist. From time to time an expo
sure has been made, but resulted in
nothing for it soon died away. Legisla-
tiOn too has been shaped through the
influence of the ring on members of
Congress.
The pensions this year will reach
about as large an amount as the interest
on the national debt; and it is claimed
very considerable proportion will be
awarded on fraudulent papers.
With these pension swindles, the Star
route performances, the Custodian
operations &c. sc. the Augean stables at
Washington need cleaning badly. Some
man like Samuel j. Tilden is badly
needed at the head of things there.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.

Charles s. Wolfe, the Independent Re-
publican candidate for State Treasurer
in Pennsylvania, in his speech at Titus
vile. charged Gov. Hoyt, Secretary
Quay, and Blake Walters, Cashier of the
State Treasury under NOyes, with using
large sums of State money in private
speculatiOns. The speculatiOns turned
out disastrOusly; much of the money
was lost, and when the Office was turned
over to Butler, he declined to take the
paper of the spectators as cash, and
Senator Cameron came forward and
made the deficiency good, with the aid
of Mr.. Harry Oliver, who demanded the
Senatorial nomination for his reward
for this timely service to the ring. This
is Mr.. WOlfe's statement.
Should Hoyt and Quay be convicted of
so serious charge, they may find them
selves in the penitentiary from which
their pardon rescued Kemble, distin-
guished for addition, division and ST.
lence." We do not see that HOyt and
Quay take notice of WOlfe's charge.

unnecessarily high rate of Interest on

THE TROUBLES IN IRELAND

Are only another Outburst in cOnse-
quence of the unequal condition of
things there. Over hundred years ago
Goldsmith wrote of Ireland:
Ill tares tue land, to threatening ills a prey,
Where wealth accumuates and meu decay.
Owners of property in other lands, as
well as those in power everywhere,
should profit by the lesson in Ireland.
MtlliOnaires and owners of property
should remember that safe possession
and quiet enjoyment of the same depend
on the people, rather than the reverse.
The tenants OF Irish landlords COM
bining to pay no rent renders owner
ship of no value, for no revenue is forth
coming. And worse still, by the prac-
tice of Boycotting an owner cultivating
his own land is, without violence, pre-
vented from enjoying it's productions.
All the owner can get is what his per-
sOnal labor produces and no more. The
wealthy in other countries should
profit by this lesson. The rights of the
people are eternal.
Equality frlghts is Natures plan,
anu iOilOWlnS nature Is the marcn OF man.
Justice is the only safe rule in govern
ment, and that means equality. No
privileged classes; no gOvernment-es-
tablished religion, with lOrd-5ishops and
archbishOps; no protected" or favored
capitalists; no national bank corpora
tiOns to furnish and control the cur
rency of the country and thus disturb
and unsettle values, business and labor,
to suit their ayariciOus purposes; no
carrier corporations plundering govern
ment and people by watered stocks and
oppressive exactiOns. In fact, may not
we in this country learn wholesome les
sons from Irelands condition? Is not
history full of such lessons? The ter
rible French revolution of near hun
dred years agOis the most remarkable in
the worlds history; and milliOnaires
and privileged classes everywhere
should remember and consider.

The New York Tribune enters a Wig
orous protest against the election of
Gorham and Riddleberger to Senate Of
fees, being the price promised Malone
FOR his vote last session. The Tribune
seems to rue the bargain, and says:
But they say these two men must be
carried because the balance of power,
Senator Malone of Virginia, demands
1t. 1t is he who ties these heavy dead
weights to the party. Is this indeed SC? Z?
And is this Mr.. Mahone's price for-for
what? We really do not know. The
largeness of the price is plain, but we
fail to see any adequate consideration.
There has been some talk about bargain
and sale in this matter, but all as though
the Republicans were buying Malone.
Isn't there some mistake about it? Isn't
Malone buying the party? And isn't
he getting it very cheap?

THE New York Post calls attention to
the fact that almost the last act of
WashingtOns military life was the
writing of letter of Acknowledgements

follows:
My DEAR BARON: Although have ta--a

lie and in private, of acknowledging
your great zeal, attention and abilities
in performing the duties of your office
yet wish to make use of this last mo-
ment of my public life to signify, in the
strongest terms, my appreciation of your
conduct, and to express my sense of OBJ
ngatlOns the public is under to you for
your faithful and meritOriOus services.
Ihls Is the last letter l shall write
while L continue in the service of INV
country. The hour of my resignation is
liked at IL to-day, after which shall
become private citizen on the banks

No respectable Republican paper at-.u-,
tempts to excuse the State of MinnesOtR
for contemplating the population OF a
part OF her debt. They denOunce any
such idea in the strongest terms On

many Southern States. Nothing cOuld

so far as to condemn Minnesota repudi- .
alton, we invite his attention to MahOna
reputation in Virginia. We take pleas,

party opposing population there, is tha
Democratic party, and the party favor-ma
ing reputation is the Malone Republic

We know not what Southern States
the Repository refers to as having shown
bad faith" We should be glad to know
the names of these "many Southern
States" that have shown "bad faith" like
unto Minnesota. Let US have them
