SECONDARY Punishment.

aim at the life Of tho crimipali ana are
intended only to cause bodily suffer-
ing and shame, are called secondary
punishments, in distinction from those
that are capital.
Scourging or whipping 10 . very
ancient form Of punishment, 1t was
practiced by all nations. BY the
Jewish law it wac prescribed in the
case Of a betrothed bond-woman guilty
Of nnchastity, and was in common use
among that people as a punishment
for other offences. II was inflicted
with thongs or whips made Of ropes or
straps OF leather, or with rods, TWICE,
or branches Of tree. The. offender
was strapped from his shoulders TO bis
middle, and tied by his arms to q low
pill ar, that his back might be more
fully exposed TO the person whose
Office IL was to in6ict the punishment.
By the Romans the culprit was strip
ped, stretched with cords or throngs
on frame, and beaten with rods. In
ancient Egypt, and in modern times
also in the east, the customary instru-
ment Of punishment was a stick ap-
piled to the soles Of the feet. This
was called the bastinado. The knout
was formerly the favorite instrument
in Russia, for al! classes and degrees
Of criminals. It was a scourge COM
posed Of many thongs Of skin, plated,
and interviewer with wire. The often
der was tied to two stakes, stripped,
and received on his back the specified
number Of lashes. One hundred, or
one hundred and twenty were equiva-
lent to sentence of death; but in
many cases the victim died under the
operation long before this number was
completed. The whipping-post, both
in Europe and America, was once in
general use, Flogging was until quite
lately prevalent in the navies of the
world.
Branding was a mode ofpunishment
for various offences. IL was effected
by the application Of a hot iron &c
different parts Of the body. On the
heated end Of the iron there was 9
device which il was desired should b.
left upon the skin. Sometimes the
hand was branded, or the arm, or some
part Of the face. An old Englisl
law provided that certain offender
should be branded in the most visible
part Of the left cheek nearest thu
nose.
Ia ancient times q red-hot iron wal
employed in another form Of punish
ment. The heated metal was repeat

LEE COUNTY.
Mr.. Massey Divides Time with ID. y. Bailey
Great DAY for Democracy.

MIR. Massey Divides Time with d. r. Bailey
Great DAY for Democracy.
Correspondence fthe Richmond Dispatch
JoSEsvILLE, Va, Sept. %, 1885.
This has been a grand day for our
cause in the good old county Of Lee.
According to announcement, the Hon.
John +. Massey was here to-day to adj
dress our people on the issues involved
in the campaign. The Republicans had
an appointment for the Hon. ID. f.
Bailey at the same time. Our people
believe in joint discussion, and terms
we're readily agreed upon, by which
Mr.. Bailey was to open in speech of
two and half hours Mr.. Massey to
follow in the same length Of time, and
each to reply in thirty minutes.
At the ringing Of the bell the court
house filed until there was not single
foot of standing.roo that was not oc-
cupied. Yet but little more than half
the large crowd could get into the court
house. Mr.. Bailey's speech was far
above that of the average of the Ma
honeite speakers, and yet he and his
speech were but as playthings in the
hands Of that grand old champion of
Democracy and Of the peoples rights.
The arraignment Of Malone and his
party by Massey was terrific and crush
ing. He swept the brush thrown in
his way by Bailey aside as though it
had been chaff, and exposed the naked
corruption and crooked ways Of Malone
and his party so fully to view as to as
tonish and disgust even Mahoneites
themselves. His defence Of the Demo-
cratic party, its principles, its teach
ings, and practices, was simply grand,
convincing, and overwhelming. You
may put Lee county down as forming
one block in the great Democratic pyra-
mid that will be built in Virginia on
the Sd day Of November next.
Mr.. Bailey's speech showed conclu-
sively that he felt even now the defeat
of his party, because he said that :" he
was afraid that they would be counted
out"
Yes; they will be counted out, but
that counting will be an honest count
of the free ballots of the free Democrats
of Virginia independently cast by men
who wear the collar of no man.
Mr.. Massey has made two speeches
in the county, and will make another
one on Thursday. He will then go to
the railroad. We propose to make the
canvass hot and swift from now until
election-day. Colonel O'Ferrall will
speak here tomorrow night. Our or
ganizaton is complete, and everything
is being done to make assurance doubly
sure, JUNIUS.

X. =. Thomas Makes n Stirring speech to a
Good Crowd.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch. j
AMELIA c. H., September "a, 'S5.
According to appointment Mr.. R. S.
Thomas. Of Isle of Wight, addressed
the people Of this county to-day. Owing
to the fact that it is cutting-tobacco
season and the frost-signal was dis
played, the attendance at court was not
as large as usual, but the courtroom
was we'll filled.
For an hour and a half Mr.. Thomas
reviewed the leading issues Of the can
yass. He first commented upon the in
consistencies and receptions of the Ma.
hone party, taking in the prominent
acts of the party. He unmasked its
hypocrisy and demagogism with a
mastery hand. His contrast of Ma
hone with Aaron Burr was striking.
He then gave a history of the Demo-
cratic popular, its devotion to principle
and party rights. He told in terms
that all could understand what Democ-
racy had done for the country.
and dwelt with great emphasis upon
the fact that the Democratic
party had inaugurated the free-school
system, and nurtured and fostered it
with almost parental devotion. He
contrasted John s. Wise and General
Lee. His eulogy on Lee was strikingly
eloquent and glowing. / have never
seen an audience listen with more pro-
found or deeper interest. Mr.. Thomas
will do good work, and l hope the COM
mittee will lay tribute on his efficient
service. 1t was regretted that his time
was limited. He had to take the train
to meet another engagement.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
PETERSBURG, VA, September %.
Hon. George G.. Cabell. Of Danville,
and Judge Staples addressed a great
Democratic meeting here tonight aud
kindled an enthusiasm which will be
left for good in this city. The Acad-
envy Of Music was crowded to its ut
most, and an interesting and encour-
aging feature of the assemblage was
the presence Of large number of CO.
lored people in the galleries, among
them a club of $50 Republicans who
have resolved to support the Demo-
cratic ticket.
Mr.. Cabell's speech was, in consider
able part, addressed to the colored peo-
pie, and his arguments and appeals to
their reason and manhood were received
with the heartiest applause. Their eyes
were evidently opened by the facts he
so plainly and tersely placed before
them. He made manly speech on the
issues new dividing the people and
the dangers which threaten the
State should the Republicans sue.
coed, and his appeal to all true
sons Of Virginia to rally to the support
of their mother State struck chord
which elected unbounded enthusiasm
and applause. His vindication Of the
people of Danville and of Virginia
from the charges Of John S. Wise and
the Republican platform Of being as
sassins and murderers was complete,
and words failed to express his con-
demnaton of and contempt for the
Virginians who could thus asperse the
fair name of this State and people.
Judge Staples made statesman-like
speech on State politics, and he tho
roughly covered the whole ground.
His comparisons of the two conventions
that assembled in Richmond in July,
and of the respective tickets placed be-
fore the people by them, was just as
we'll as severe.
The name OF Fitz Lee was received
with the widest enthusiasm. There
were Old-Line Republicans in the audi
ence who We'd with the Democrats in
their applause. The canvass opens
auspiciously here, and the outlook,
judging by to-night's meeting, is en-
couraging in the highest degree.
