YICE-PREsIDENT MORTON being called
upon yesterday as presiding officer of the
Senate to decide a parliamentary question,
put on his spectacles, and did so after the
manner of the most ultra partisan. A rule
OF the Senate prescribes that when petitions
are presented in that body, only the subject
thereof, not the petitions, shall be read but
instead of doing that. Mr.. Chandler, In pre-
senting one of his daily bloody-shirt petit
lions. read q long rigmarole of what sena.
tor Berry properly termed "rot and filth"
Mr.. Morton's attention being called to this
gross infraction of the rule alluded to, de-
o'ded that Mr.. Chandler was in order. But
what else could be expected of man who.
fearing the opposition of the prohibitionists,
denied that he had endorsed the applica
ton for a liquor license for bis W hotel,
though his signature was subsequently found
on the application referred to.

The Punishment of Ling Che.


This last certainly amounts in theory TO tor
ture of the most horrible kind. 1t is applica-
bic only TO criminals of the deepest dye, such
as rebels. PARTICLES. women who kill their hus-
bands. or murderors who kill three persons of
one family. IL is called variOusly the lingering
process, the slow and painful process slicing to
death, etc, and tho prescribed method seems
TO correspond with the last-named term. The
skin Of the forehead is supposed to he sliced
down, the cheeks slashed, the nose slit, the
breasts sliced off, the stomach gashed, etc, be.
fore the coup do grace is given. But when we
come To ask how far the legal sentence is put
i'll actual execution we find some conflict OF tes-
timony. Mr.. Giles atiirms that "a slight cash
only is made across each collar-bone, and three
gashes across the breast in the shape of the
character meaning 1000 Indicating the num-
Der of strokes the criminal ought TO have re-
ceved,) and that decapitation follows without
delay" But in the only case where / have
heard OF foreign witness the process seems to
have approx mated much more nearly To the
legal prescription than TO this assumption. But
methods of execution seem To be occasionally
employed, ut least in the South, which find no
sanction in the code. Cases have come under
the notice of foreigners of death by crucihxion,
and Of the victim being suspended by the neck
in a cage in such way that he can only touch
the ground with tho tip of his toes, and being
lelt 10 die OF starvation. Such proceedings are,
however. distinctly illegal-survivals prob
ably, of an age when Chinese rule aud Chinese
civilization, which have radiatcd from the
North. were less firmly established. So that,
whatever the law. the usual practice in given
region would seem TO be materially influenced
