ALoNDoN dispatch of the 9th says
there is nothing tlere to confit m the report

THE Delaware House of Representa-

The Delaware House of Representa-
tives has refused to abate the punish
ment of the whipping post for certain
grades of crime in that commonwealth,
and there may be expected cry OF in
dignation from some of the cailow phi
anthopists at the barbarity of this institu-
ton and the darkness of the state which
tolerates it. The facts of the case do
not bear out such an unfavorable judg-
ment Of the whipping post as means of
vindcating outraged law. Where the
lash is applied with the proper exercise
of judicial discretion it is found to be IA
salutary mode of dispensing justice alike
in preventing crime and in reforming
offenders. Those who suffer it in Dela-
ware are seldom found there the second
time. Il is true that the stern dispensa-
ton which iueXorably eXacted el e for eye
and tooth for tooth has been waived aside
By more benefcient civilization, but
| it is equally true that for a certain grade
OF offenses the ordinary modes Of punish
| ment by confinement in Jail have 10
terrors for wrongdoerS nor adequate
satisfaction and protection for an out
ragged community. For rape, for Tie
beating OF women and children and
kindred crimes the sturdy application
of tie lash is the best punishment YET
| devised.

Why the ':"vern"r Appointed Els Successor.
When Governor Pattison was asked Oh
Wednesday, for his reasons fer the removal
Of Recorder Lane and the appointment Of
Mr.. Smith, ho said
81 claim the right 10 make this change
in the recorders office under the supreme
court decision in the Donohua Tenor case,
which clearly gives the executive tL,,
right Of removal at any TINA. The Office
is held entirely at the pleasure of the ex-
c,utlve. AStO my reasons, certainly the long
Continued and earnest complaint against
the present infringement of the Office
ought to be e sufficient answer. The peU-
pie Of Fhiladel ihia know that change,
and radical change, ought TO be made,
aud under all the circumstances | consider
that the executive would be derelics in
regard to grave rub,ic duty if cha ge
was not made or attempted to b.,
made. The responsibility is now
with the Republican majority ia
the Senate, and if they refuse to sanction
4 change they nu5t answer to the people.
As to tho nominee nothing adverse can
be said. He is we'll and favorably
known He has been rendering great

Removals and Appointments.
If those who are opposing the COVER
nor's nominations to the Senate were as |
frank to state their real motives as Mr.. |
Pattison is in giving his reasons for
making them, the public would
be better enlightened upon the merits of
the controversy. As to the recorders
Office, Mr.. Lane, who holds it by the
favor of Quay, and who is popularly sup
posed to divide its profits with him, is
the staunch and unwavering friend
Of Cameron. lie has largely aided in
the overthrow Of McManes, who has
never been forgiven for frustrating
Cameron at Chicago, and no estimate Of
the political situation in Philadelphia IS
reliable that fails to take into account
the influence of Lane. operating for
Cameron, in defeating McMantS. These
circumstances will amply explain
why such Republican senators
rs train with Cameron will eX-
haust every means to save Lane.
On the other hand il is believed, and The
Times gives color TO the allegation, that
the real reason why the Independents
fail to support the nomination of Smith
for the succession is their dissatisfaction
with MIR. pattisOn'S appointment rf
his attorney general, which is, OF
course, rot Il good reason why
they should be influenced to 0l-
pose the nomination Of fit mal-and

cause why he should De removed. Lant,
