A senseless and untrue article ap-
peared in the New York Herald on
Wednesday in relation to the whipping
post In Delaware, and the most chart
table construction that can be placed
upon 1t Ia that 1t was written by some
one who never witnessed whipping,
and consequently knows nothing about
1t. This imaginative writer says
The criminal who is to be whipped has
bis. hands elasped in irons above bis head
TO the post, while the rest OF his body is
at perfect liberty" The back is laid
bare and the ''oat-o'-nine-tails"-a whip
with nine cowhide lashes-is then vigor-
ously applied by the sheriff Of the county
as many times as has been specified by
the Court, this being graduated according
TO the grade of the crime. Many a time
the blood is drawn with every lash, and
frequently when the sheriff has COM
pleted the operation the criminal Is
covered with blood from head TO foot,
while the ground and post round about
bear the stains which, had they the power
of speech, could relate many heart
rending tales. Some culprts squrm and
twist into all imaginary shapes, while
others never finch.

who reads such stuff as the above
would naturally come 10 the conclu-
sion that the residents of the Diamond
State are set of barbarians, who take
a tisndish delight In torturing their
victims. We have witnessed many q
whipping in this State, aud only on
one or two occasions have we seen
blood drawn, and these were cases
where the criminal was OF light COM
ploxion and very thin skinned. The
TACT that this writer, whoever he may
shown by the following:
"For murder in the second degree the
perpetrator must be imprisoned tor life,
pay heavy fine and be whipped with
sixty lashes. Imprisonment for mau-
slaughter is also accompanied with
whipping, while for all forms OF stealing
and robbery the last named punishment
is a specially"
The sixty lashes in cases of murder
of the second degree was abolished
some years ago, and we cannot re-
member when whipping was q part of
the punishment for manslaughter. II
Is just such tissues of falsehoOds as are
interviewer in this correspondents
article that places Delaware in false
light before the country. The trouble
OF lsle years has been that our shcrifIs
have not laid the lash on hard
enough and the way il is now ap.
piled ii is not much more than farce.
II the punishment was strictly in &C
cordance with the law, which says the
lash shall ''be well laid on" there
would be fewer criminals back to the
post a second, or, as is the case in
some instances, third time.
