local ball club. Yesterday President Young

Jimmy Calvin left for st. Louis last even

stay here. He fully expects to demonstrate
that the club has parted with a good and
useful pitcher. -

Tho Whipoinp-Post.

brief law making whipping the punishment
for all offences below felony would at once cut
down criminal expenses TO reasonable proper
lions. Not only this such a Law would do much to
lessen crime, for experience has shown that there
Is nothing your petty criminal dreeds 80 much
as a good, sound whipping, vol laid on.-Char-
lott,sriRe Chronicle.
Virginia Will never Sc. up the whipping
post again. II has been tried IN recent
years and rejected. Public sentiment is
against it, and we are not aware that the
figures show that it was such wonder
fully economic mode OF punishment
either. But whether il was CHEAP or dear,
il is gone, and never TO return, we trust.
No doubt there are criminal classes IN
Virginia that deserve the lash well laid on,
but the laws must be equal and uniform.
Those of our people who have seen white
man or woman handcuffed to a post and
lashed until great bloody whelks fur
rowed the flesh cannot possibly wish TO have
that law re-enacted. 1t is law unsuited
to our times, since no discrimination can
be made in its enforcement.
While it is true that Virglnla's criminal
expenses have grown very heavy of late
years We may be permitted to doubt IT the
bulk of tins increase has come from In
crease of jailers' fees. At any rate we do
not remember that we ever saw any official
figures setting forth this fact. II is far
moro probable that the account has been
run up by tees of various other officers.
Nor are we so very sure that the whip
ping-post when 1t was authorized by law
in Virginia acted as great deterrent of
crime, and if our supposition be correct the
only saving that could be effected by the
re-establishment of it would be in jailer,'
fees, for Of course the plan would be to
whip the petty thief and turn HIM loose
instead Of sending him to Jail for thirty or
sixty DAYS. But you would have TO whip
the white boy as well as the colored boy
the white woman as well as the colored
woman. To evade the law by "suspen-
sion of Judgment" or by any of the other
subterfuges that might be devised and re-
sorted TO, would only DO TO lessen the peo-
Piles opinion of our courts of justice.
To the lot of the late Police-Sergeant
OaALxIry Ga fine old man and one of the
worttiest and sternest officers that Rich
mond ever had it fell TO see that the lash
was laid in accordance with the SEN
fences of the courts OF this city; but it
was ever a repulsive duty to him. 1t was
his constant prayer that the Legislature
would repeal the act, and if ne was living
when that repeal came we have no doubt
that that day was one of the happiest Of
his life.
We believe that the public sentiment Of
Virginia is overwhelmingly against any re-
turn to the system.

Messrs. Inman and Thomas Now Hsrmo-
nious--Everything Lovely.


(By telegraph 70 the Dispatch.l
New YORK, January 9.-The President OF
a prominent financial institution, speaking
of the Richmond Terminal to-day, said !:
ut is q matter of considerable congratu-
Iation among tho fnanciers of this city
and those Interested in railroad affairs
that the Richmond Terminal difficulty Is
being freed from complications which a
few DAYS ago appeared To be quite threat

q disposition on the part or some
TO misrepresenr the situation as it
now stands and to convey the impress
sion that lack Of harmony exists between
the so-called Inmsn faction and the party
represented by General Thomas. These
gentlemen are now working IN harmony,
and have never been at serious variance.
The correspondence that has passed be-
tween them plainly shows desire on the
part of the Thomas faction, so-casled, 10
utilize the ability aud financial strength OF
Mr.. Inman and his friends. Mr. Imam
shows a willingness to help out the situa-
ton by continuing for u time the burden
of responsibility which he has carried 50
ably and well through the very
perilous times OF the past eigh-
teen months, with the proyiso that he

successor can be determined upon.
Those who are familiar with the inside his

Letters for the Farmers.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette repeats
editorially a remark that has appeared we
do not know how often in this paper when
IT says that it might DO better. before re-
ducing postage. TO extend the free-delvery
service and take the farmers mail to his
house free of cost, saving him the time
and expense of going to the post Office.
This is a measure which cannot too soon
receive the attention of Congress. Per-
haps our Legislature could boost it by
endorsing it on behalf of the farmers Of
Virginia. 1t is a measure as much in the
interest Of the city people. however, as
the country people. 1t will work its way
into pubic favor without anybody's en-
dorsement, the farmers themselves having
taken charge of IL, and some OF the Faym-
ers' Alliances having already assumed the
guardianship Of it. We 60 for every mea-

Senator Colquitt on Silver.

As We have said heretofore. We do not
entertain much hope that the next Demo
cratic National Convention will have a
free-coinage plank in its platform. Never
theless, free-coinage is as desirable now as
1t ever was. 1t is only because the Demo-
cratic party cannot be rendered unit on
this question that it will have to be held
in allegiance. We find that Senator Col
QUIT, OF Georgia, agrees on this subject
with Senator DANIEL. OF Virginia, and so
many other Democratic United States
senators. In an interview with New
York World reporter, Mr.. CoLQUITT a day
or two ago said that tariff reform would
be one OF the issues In the next presi-
dental campaign, and then added;
"To say. however. that tariff reform will be
the only issue shows ignorance OF the sentiments
of the great mass of the people. particularly in
tho rural districts The condition of the agri-
culturists In many sections Is deplorable. and
this condition affects all other trades and inter-
ests. Free coinage Of silver is looked 10 as one
of the measures that will contribute to the relief
OF the poor and suffering. II Is Democratic
doctrine. IT has been approved In Democratic
conventions in nearly all the States. and disap-
proved nowhere except in Massachusetts. Tho
Democrat who seeks TO dodge this issue avoids s
great Democrats doctrine advocated by Jefier-
son and Madison and followed in the practice OF
the Government tor eighty years. Democrats Of
this day cannot afford TO ignore thisquestion and
expose themselves 10 the charge that they are
friends Of the favored classes of monopolists and
plutocrats. The Democratic party must DO now,
as it has ever been, the champion Of tho masses
o. the people"
The Democrats will not dodge the silver
issue. They propose merely to postpone
it. But if they postpone it for year or
two il will only be to renew it when it can
be renewed with every prospect of being
forced to successful termination.
