FIOgging in schools.
Nashville Bonner,

Some of our exchanges have been
discussing the question of Furnishing
school children by whipping, with the
conclusion that it should be abolished.
The system of managing schools has
greatly changed here in the South,
even within the last twenty years,
both as to the conduct of studies and
the character Of punishment. The
old blue back spelling book has almost
disappeared, and with it the beech
switch and cowhide. Charts and easy
spoilers have been substituted for the
one, kindness and consideration for
the other.
No intelligent, thorough, progress
sive educator will hardly dispute the
advantages of the change; though we
find some men who live in the past
and look upon the old field school
house as the perfection of educational
institutions, who yet believe that a
sparing of the rod ruins the child.
But the day has gone for beating
knowledge and goodness into children.
There are higher and better methods
for leading the minds and directing
the morals of the young. In this
connection we can do no better than
quote from a Northern exchange:
"Flogging is a relic of barbarianism
wholly out ofplace in civilized society,
and the same arguments which at
tempt to defend it now were at one
time used in defense of all kinds of
cruelties which have happily been
abolished. 1t was once popularity
supposed that experience of cruelty in
boyhood developed hardy aud vigo
rous manhood, but We have gotten
over that stupid delusion. 1t was
once supposed that fogging in the
army made good soldiers, and that
hogging in the navy was indispensable
to good discipline, but these notions
are now obsolete, and modern human
ity declares that even among convicts
in the penitentiary fogging does more
harm than good; that it brutalizes and
degrades still further the miserable
victim on whom it is used The slave
has been taken from under the lash,
the soldier and seaman are protected
from its brutality, and dumb beasts
have found friends to protect them
from physical cruelty, but the last one
TO find justice and protection are the
little children. 1t is still assumed
that punishment which is not toler.
ated in the case of hardened criminals
is essential to the control and forma,
ton of character in the case Of schoo,
boys. This is a proposition which
cannot stand the test of being, and The
sooner the days Of Aogging are mum,
bered the better.

A Valuable publication.

We have received a sample copy o.
the North and South, a paper pub
lished at 1871 Main street, Buffalo, N
Y, by j. I. Mclaughlin. 1t is de
voted almost exclusively to making
known the great material advantage:
the South possesses, and the induce.
ments offered to men OF enterprise and
a limited supply OF capital. 1t is
handsomely printed, on fine paper
aud is filed with interesting reading
matter especially for those who have
the welfare of our dear old South 81
heart. IL is published monthly at the
very low price of sixty cents per year,
single copy FIVE cents. 10 our mind
it fills want long felt by our people,
that OF medium 10 the North to make
known and correctly represent the
attitude of our people toward parties
in the North aud East looking
for some new field in which to cast
their lot. The West has not been
slow to see the advantages they would
gain by rushing to the support of the
above named publication and giving
glowing descriptions OF their induce
ments and advantages, and working in
every way possible TO secure the vast
multitudes Of emigrsnts from the
overcr0wde1 sections of our country,
and these emigrants have been glad to
accept the generous. offers made
them. AS a result the South
has so far received but a small share
of the capital willing aud anxious to
secure some investment which will
give fair returns. For years past the
LEDGER has let no opportunity pass
unimproved to show the Northern
people the warm welcome which
awaits them here, and we are glad to
be able to state that its efforts have
not been unfruitful, for men of CAPT.
tai and enterprise are beginning to
perceive the good results which will
follow their investments in the South.
Manufacturing establishments of all
kinds are springing up throughout the
entire South, built, in great measure,

they have come to stay. They are not
of the transient, fitting kind, for men
of energy and enterprise have been
placed at the head of them, and are
backed by capital sufficient to meet
all demands.
1t only remains for our people To
prove the truthfulness of what the
LEDGER and, indeed, almost the entire
Southern press, has been preaching for
years, to not only retain those already
here, but to reach out and grasp the
idle capital in the North and East.
The West is making strenuous efforts
to attract capital and immigration, but
if We will only exert ourselves in that
direction the day is not far distant
when the South will see and enjoy
prosperity such as has never been
dreamed Of, and we are sure the new
era is at hand.

TWO DISGRACED OFFICERS
A Statement as to Colonel Nor
rows CaSe-HOw Major Nicker'
sons Divorce Was obtained.
Special to Commercial Gazette.


WASHINGTON, May pa state.
ment given out as to Colonel Nor
rows Irregularities attributes them to
losses on oil, but it does not agree
altogether with known facts. In order
to meet duplicate pay receipts he has
been duplicating for other months,
until now, when inquiries brought out
the state of affairs.
One of his creditors told reporter
to day that Colonel Morrow is in
volved about $4,000, but he thinks the
Colonel will repay it all, as he has cut
down his expenses to less than quar-
ter of his salary, $435 a month, paying
the balance to his creditors.
This gentleman further said that du-
plicating of pay receipts was very
common indeed, and he gave instances.
This statement is denied, and SO re-
spectacle army officers demand a rigid
Investigation that it may be disproved.
the ugly feature of the matter is the
attempts to keep secret an offense for
which it was the duty of the superior
officers, who knew of it, to demand
an explanation and report the delin-
quent to the Secretary Of War.
A report is expected from Col. Barr
in day or two on the Nickerson di>
vorce. The only evidence OF deser-
ton by Mrs Nickerson Of her husband
is by his colored body servant, Car
penter, who swore that she said she
was going away, and later went to
Europe, leaving at night with her
little daughter. Mrs. Nickerson,
in her affidavit, says her husband
advised the trip, and promised to
fellow, kissing her goodbye on the
steamer. The servant, Carpenter, and
Msjor Nickerson had room in Cherry
street, Philadelphia, where there were
two beds, the Major sleeping there
eleven times only in fourteen months,
as the landlord, Benjamin Herr,
states. He paid the rent, however,
and when he sued for the divorce had
Herr swear that be had lived there
fourteen months, aud paid the rent.
OF course this was to establish his res
idence in Philadelphia. The neigh
borhood OF the room was not one
where one would expect to meet such
a man offashion as Major Nickerson,
and he never saw any Of his friends at
his room.
Mr.. G. NJ. Hough, counsel for Mrs.
Nickerson, said yesterday, in Phila-
delphia that he had no doubt the d.
Yorce would be declared void.

Marriage reform i'm England.

LONDON. May 22-For many years
the Right Hon. John Bright has been
a firm advocate of parliamentary re.
form in the marriage laws, and has
persistently spoken in favor Of the
passage of the bill legaling a marriage
with deceased wife's sister. He is
now about giving practical expression
Of his opposition to the law which for
bids such marriage, by leading to the
altar the sister of lis first wife. This
projected marriage Of John Bright al
the age of seventy two. is the talk OF
the town. John Bright's action is re
garded by every one a protest against
what he deems an ubiquitous law, az
recently, in a speech before the Lib
Grafton Society at the Metropolitan
Tabernacle, he referred to this subject
in the following words: There is an.
