Since the Legislature OF Maryland es-
tablished the whipping-post in that State
for wife-beaters, four husbands have been
dashed for brutally assaultng their wives.
One of those whipped was colored, and
the other three were white. The act was
passed at the session Of 1852, and the last
whipping done was in 1889. But. as we
stated yesterday. some Maryland husbands
have shrewdly hired other men TO beat
their 0he husbands) wives for them. In
this way the husbands escape the whip
ping-post, while the men they employ
can only be punished for assault.

The verdict in the Farrall case In
Charles county, Md, causes little sur
prise in that State. II Mrs. Farrall did
really kill her husband the state failed
TO prove that fact. 1t is quite generally
conceded that the jury only did It's du'y
in giving the prisoner the beneht OF
doubt of somewhat large proportions. Inc
charge against Mrs. Farrall was that she
poisoned her husband with strychnine;
but the State was never able to prove
the corpus deficit. We learn from the
Baltimore Sun that Senator Carrico,
physician in good standing IN Charles
county, and known to the jury as such'
who attended Frederick Farrall and was
present at the death-bed, testified that in
his opinion the man did not die of poison,
but from disease of the kidneys. To con-
trovert this theory the State brought SCI
entifc experts, who swore that in their
opinion the symptoms Is described by DR..
Carrico were the symptoms OF strychnia
poisoning, and they further testified that
they had dissected the body and had
found the poison in the vital organs Then
came another expert and depOsed that
these experts were probably wrong; that
their methods in finding the poison were
unreliable; that there was no certainty
that the substance obtained was strych-
nine, and that the symptoms were not
those of strychnia poisoning. And so this
left the States case to stand upon few
discriminating circumstances and the testi-
mony Of some half dozen other witnesses,
that utterly failed to impress the guilt
OF the woman or any motive for the
crime upon the jury. Hence the jury
very properly found n verdict Of not
guilty.

army under General Morgan. Whether
the soldiers were in sympathy with the
lynchers, or were overawed by superior
numbers. does not appear in any account
that we have seen, but II N everywhere
stated that they surrendered their pri-
soner without firing a shot
The prisoner was hanged to q bridge
and then the lynchers quietly dispersed.
In this case we undertake TO say that
thera was no great fear that there would
be any miscarriage OF Justice, either
through the errors OF the judge or jury
No, II was probably not for that reason
that the people determined to execute
unofficial justice. but rather that 'he
poor young lady who had been outraged
should not be compelled TO come into
court and take the chances OF having 10
undergo the torture Of cross-examina-
ton, as was the sad experience OF lady
victim at Manassas year or two ago.
We should like 10 see influential and
intelligent colored men OF the south or
ganize to suppress the crime that is so
discredltable to their race and so frult-
full OF lynchings. II they could be instru-
ments In the suppression OF this parucu-
lar crime they could have the assurance
that lynch law would soon become obso-
lcte. In no other way that we can think
OF can worthy colored men beneht their
race so greatly as by praying ana
preaching, working, and organizing
against this crime-a crime which, IN
many parts of the South. Keeps the Two
races embittered with each other ana
which justifes lynch law as no other
offence against the law does. Yes; II
our colored friends will but help to put
an end to this crime. they may well nope
to see lynching in all Of its forms disap-
near in the course OF few years.
