THE WHIPPING PosT.-The criminal ex
penses of the State have increased to such
degree, that our legislators are perplex-
ing their brains to devise some means of
diminishing them, and some, it seems, IA
vor the enactment of law to punish the
perpetrators of misdemes aors with stripes
aud thrs ro-establish the whipping post.
which shocles the sensihlities and has a de-
noralizing tendency. We regret to see
that bill OF that kind b IS been proposed
n the legislature, though we can not be-
lieve that it will pass, for we think that
even the consideration of it will do harm
1t is evident that the Criminal expenses
shonld be diminished, but the remedy al
luded to would be worse than the disease.
We hope that our S)lons will be able to de-
wise some other mode Of accomplishing
that object.
F. S.-Since the above was put in type.
we are pleas ID to see it stated ID the papers
Of yesterday, that the Democratic caucus
has declarel against the enactment of
whipping post law, and that the over
whelming s. ntiment of the Democrats in
the Leg stature is against it. This is as it
should be.

Republican slaRdeFs

Spooner, Republican partisan, who sits
in the United States Senate, has undertaken
to reply to Senator Georges very digniied
and moderate reference to Jefferson Davis
by rehashing the old falsehoods that MIR.
Davis was responsible for the suffering of
Federal ,ldiers in Southern prisons. Soma
tor Dapiel presented in collected form in
his recent address on Jefferson Davis, de-
livered in this city, full refutation of these
ancient and putIid slanders. Mr. Davis
tried to get the Federal prisoners exchang-
ed according to the cartel. but this was re-
fused & delegation Of Federal prisoners
went to Washington to plead for an ex-
change AID were rebuffed. Then Vice.
President Stephens went to Washington to
effect an exchange and wac refused. Then
twice, 10 January, 1864, and in January,
1865, Pieaident Davis proposed through
Commiss ,ouer Ould that each side should
send snrceons, money, food and clothing TO
their prisoners, and no reply was made. Il
was pFoppsed to buy in he North medicine,
which Il d not be proc uced in the South,
for Federal prisoners, and 10 answer was
made. l was then proposed to deliver the
sick and Yonnded without any equivalent
in exchange. 1t was mouths before an an
swer came, and fnally both sick and well
were delivered without exchange More
over, Gen. Grant, in letter on record,
written August IS. 1854, said:
cit is hard on our men in Southern pri
SOUS not TO exchange them, bat it is hu'
manity to those left in the ranks to fight
our battle. If we commence system of
exchanges which liherates' all prisoners
taken We will have to fight on until the
whole s puth is exterminated. If we hold
those eaI1nht they amount to no more than
dead men. At this particular time to re-
lease all rebel prisoners North would insure
Sherman's defeat, and would compromise
our own safety here"
These are indisputable historical facts,
facts that will not down. What do they
prove. as clearly as the light of the sun
shines? That it was the Federal, not the
Confederate authorities who were RESPONSE
BILE for the continued suffering and distress
of Federal soldiers in Confederate prisons
Some Southern senator ought to fling these
hard facts in Spooner's teeth.-Richmond
State.

MRS. Law BURNED TO DEATH.-On Fri
day week, Mrs. Benjamin Law, who lived
about two miles West of the Warm Springs
in Bath county, was aceidently burned tn
death. The Greenbrier Independent says
that "Mrs. Law, who was an invalid and
could not walk very we'll, was sitting in
front of the fire with book and her spec
tacles 10 her lap, when she was left alone in
the room. In about five minutes after
wards she was found envelopsd in flames.
As the book aud spectacles were found on

Chaperons for Lady Tourists.

At a meeting of the directors of the Wom-
EMS Educational and Industrial union the
question of establishing guide and chaperon-
age department was favorably discussed, and
measures have been taken to organize the new
departure. The idea, though novel to this
coast, is an acknowledged success in London,
and within recent years in New York. In
conversation with a director of the society
the work of the new department was out
lined.
'Of course, you know" said fair official,
shat many ladies come into San Francisco
from the east and elsewhere who. in many in
stances, have no friends to familiarize them
with our city and indicate points of novelty
and interest. To such persons we expect
that our system of chaperonage will be an in
valuable comfort and assistance. Upon ap-
plication we will furnish lady guides and
chaperones to escort strangers throughout the
city. 10 accompany them TO theatres and to
other places of interest and amusement, and
to also assist them IL shopping excursions.
In this way much time, aggravation, and in
deed money, will be saved to ladies who
would otherwise fall into the hands of sharp
ers, and the ordinary monotony of their situ-
alton will be pleasantly relieved by agreeable
company."-San Francisco Chronicle.
