THE GONZALES SHOOTING.

Whatever may have been Mr.. Tillman's
grievances against Mr.. Gonzales he took
most reprehensible method of reveng-
ing himself on that gentleman It was
one that can bring Tillnan no peace OF
mind. no consciousness of duty courage
ousIy done. and can elicit from the pub
lie only the most unqualified condemna-
ton of him. It was an act marked by
a desperately cruel determination to be
revenged without regard to the means.
Mr.. Gonzales appears to have been
shot down without the slightest idea that
Tillman approached him with hostile IN
tent, and moreover was unarmed and
3owerless to defend himself at the time.
We shall not enter into the history Of
the Gonzales-T.lIman controversy Both
were free spoken men. The editor was
often scathing and sometimes unjust i'll
his denunciation of public men. The
politician was wont to reply In kind The
Tillnaans are not mcaly-mouthed.
There are intimat!ons in some OF the
press kilograms that Tilllnan will claim
that Gonzales sent him q message that
he (Gonzales) would be ready for him
(Tillmanj when they met face to face.
That Gonzales denied-denied, too, in the
immediate presence of death. as he
thought. Indeed his case must still be
considered critical.
Not many. persons wounded by bullets
recover from the operation Of laparotomy,
and it is resorted to only in desperate
cases. Where the intestine is wounded
by a, keen, sharp knife the operation, as
we understand it, is far moro likely to
be successful.
We are fearful that Mr.. Gonzales has
scarcely more than one chance in hun
dred to recover. but it is In his favor that
he is man of strong will and robust
constitution, and those at his bedside
cherish hopes of his restoration to health.
The Dispatch sympa thizes with them IN
Their distress, and joins them in hoping
for the best
Mr.. Gonzales is but a young man yet,
and If life be spared aim now. he would
probably have before him many years in
which his power as an editor might be
exercised for the public good

TIRE WHIPPING POST.

TO the Editor OF the Dispatch:
I can't see why all the papers of the
State do not take up and advocate the
establishment of the whipping post in
Virginia. There is no law which could
be passed by the Legislature of more Inn
rortance. for by its passage more money
| would be saved to the State by reducing
criminal expenses than by anything else
| that could be done The negroes commit
nine tenths af all offenses. and, as every
one knows, they dread the lash more
than death. So If the lash were applied
for all offenses few crimes would be
committed.
Other States apply the lash and their
criminal expenses ara much less than
ours. 1T. 3.
The whipping-post law has been tried
in Virginia once since the war ana was
disappointing in Its results. And when
negro magistrate ordered or threatened
to order a white woman to be punished
| with stripes the rage Of the people was
great, AS soon as possible the law was
repealed. Under the restricted electorate,
| provided for by the present Constitution.
there is no likelihood that we shall ever
again have negro magistrates In this
State. but still justice requires that all
E 5 20
laws shall. be administers ed equally and
impartially, without regard to color or
sex.
No. the whipping post won't do. It is re-
| pugnant to the humane spirit of the age.
and 1t would not be for the best IN
terests OF Virginia for her to return to
| it.
