beyond the reach Of mere local remedies
B. That Impurities IN the nostrilS, are

4 That Catarrhal virus follows The mu-

Mr. Arthur and the Presidency.

The succession of Mr.. Arthur to the
presidency is not likely to create any
present political change except placing
the organization Of the Senate in the
hands of the Democracy. This result
will surely follow the removal of Mr..
Arthur from the Senate. Without his
vote in a full Senate, the parties would
be equally divided, and the Democracy
would he as much entitled to the organ
ization rs their opponents, independently
of the question as to whether or no thew
have a moral right to Mahone's vote.
There will be no reason, therefore, WHY
they should not take advantage of their
power to do their duty and organize the
Senate before the two New York sena-
tors are admitted to their seats. Indeed.
they cannot lawfully be sworn in till it
is organized. The good of the country,
as we'll as the law, requires that the
Senate shall be organized at once,
and it would not be furthered
by the creation of the deadlock that the
prior admission of the New York sena

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
TIE WHIPPING POST.
another Local Advocate for tho Pecul
Institution.

another Local Advocate TO, tho Peculia,
J Columbia Spy.
Personally the editor of the Spy has lon
| been an advocate Of the whipping post
The alleged barbarity of this method o
| punishment is not a tenable objection
1t is no moro barbarOus to bare a mans
back and apply the lash vigorously than
| it is to hang a man by the neck until he is
dead, or to shoot him to death as they do
in the army. We whip our children fol
the most trifling violation of. parental
law. The school master applies the rod
with impunity on the back of the dis.
obedient or indolent pupil, and the courts
will protect him against the charge of as.
sault and battery if he does not exceed the
bounds of reason in its application. In
some Of the reformatOry institutions other
punishments are made use Of which are
far more Objectionable than whipping.
We dismiss the charge of barbarism as
unworthy of notice.
The penitentiary and Jail, houses of cor
rection, ETC., are failures so far as they
were intended to make men better. Men
60 IN as cOnvicts and they come out as
criminals, to repeat their crimes or commit
greater ones. Association with all sorts
of criminals seldom makes q man better
The man who once wears q prison garb
generally returns to it at some time i'm his
life, if he can be caught.
We don't claim that the whipping post
will inaugurate a millennium of perfect
law and peace. But We do believe that it
will beget more healthy respect for law
and order. If the men who are almost
daily sent down to the Lancaster iail for
brief period of ten or twenty days, there
to enjoy their otium cum dig, were taken
to the Town hall, at tho corner of Third
and Locust streets, and there beaten with
ten or twenty stripes, we'll laid on, We
doubt if there would ever be cause for
their being arrested second time. Men
arc seldom lost to public exposure and
public ridicule, but they do not SO much
fear the seclusiOn of Jail. We would
punish wife-beating, drunkenness, disor-
derly conduct and all such minor offences
with given number of lashes, graded &C
cordlng to the crime.
People may ridicule little Delaware, the
home of the whipping post, but they have
fewer criminals and less crime there in
proportion to population than any other
state in the Union. There is a growing
sentiment in this state in favor of the whip.
ping post, and we shall not be surprised to
see it's introduction attempted by the next
Legislature.

tors would occasion. We look, there.
fore, for Democratic organization.
The Senate, however, owing to this prob
ability may not be called in extra session
by Mr.. Arthur, who may prefer to take
the risk of leaving the country without
a successor to himself rather than hasten
the choice of a Democrat to that posi-
tiOn. If this should be his course the
public mind will he agitated until De-
cember by the fear of possible anarchy
through the death of the president with
out leaving constitutional successor to
his authority.
Mr.. Arthur is a thorough partisan and
the representative of the opposing ele-
ment in his party to that favored by Mr..
Garfield. But succeeding as he does to
the presidency it will be his present aim
to do so as quietly as possible, and he will
not be likely to make any changes in the
officers of the administration. We be-
lieve that he will even ask the present
members of the cabinet to retain their
places. Whether they will be willing to
do so is another question. We should
think that Mr.. Blaine would not !; for
his position as premier would be such
only in name. He became Mr.. Garfieid's
secretaryOf state to control his admins
tration. lie would not retain that power
under Arthur, whose real chief would be
Mr.. Conkling. At least it seems very
clear that Mr.. Blaine's disposition to
tomahawk Mr.. Conkling's friends would
not he gratified. III he is willing to give
up this aim, which is supposed to have
been his incentive to accepting office, he
can harmonize his party by continuing
in his place. But this is too much of a
sacrifice to look for from his ambition.
lie would, as secretary of state, be bound
in the hands Of his enemies and he is
not likely to voluntarily assume any such
position. lie will prefer that his lance
shall be free.
