The Riches Of Rockingham.

Tho Harrlsonburg Free Press publishes

county surpasses all her sister counties

oregon's Experiment.

Z, Oregon's whipping post, erected by law
for the punishment of swfe-beaters Is adj
mitted to be an experiment in that State,
1t being understood that II 1t proves to be
the proper and effective remedy for the
evil sought to be eradcated. the law
Will stand, but II not 1t will be repealed.
Naturally the ople8a are watching It's
operations closely, and naturally enough
too there is already wide difference Of
opinion on the subject The Portland
Orcgonlan.1 for purposes of study. makes
full reports of the infection of the pun
ishment every time a wlfe-beater is
brought under the lash in that city, and
1t has had to dispatch reporters to the
jail very sgfrequently since the law was.
put into operation about six weeks ago.
People who are making a study Of the
question are permitted. If they desire, to
see tho lash applied when q wife-beater is
called upon to pay the penalty OF his
crime. The Oregonian reports that "one
man who saw the first applications Of the
law a few days ago says that, the sight
was the most disgustngly brutal he ever
saw, and that he would rather see ten
men hanged than one such whipping
and he has witnessed a hanging
The criminal at the post probably did
not concur In this opinion, but the an
swer to that sentimental argument is
that the lpshing Of man by another
cannot IN the nature Of the case be al
together as brutal as the beating Of
! woman by a man, aud, it may be added
| that tho degree Of brutality Is enlarged.
when that woman is the wife of the
boatcr. We daresay the tender hearted
gentleman above referred to would have
been worse shocked il he had seen the
husband In the act of violating the law,
the penalty Of which he had to suffer at
the whipping post.
| But tho question after all is will the
| "disgustIngly brutal" punishment act as
a preventive of the more disgustingly
brutal crime. and is It the only thing that
will so, act? That is the experiment that
is being watched, and If Oregon proves
that she has found tho true remedy for
Il growing evil, her law will not only
stand, but will probably be copied by
other States.
The experience OF Delaware Is that the
law rather tends TO protect wife-beaters,
as most wives Will endure almost any
punishment from a brutal husband before
| they will bring disgrace upon him and
the whole family by having him publicly
flogged. Hence they endure In silence
and do not report their husbands to the
authorities.

I, ing himself with this company. It was
undoubtedly an indIscr6tion. but nothing
moro. The mans whole life and his
faithful service to the Corporation Com
mission preclude the suspicion Of corrupt
motive. We have given the case thor
ough Investigation; we have gone over
the entire subject with Judge Crump's
associates on the commission, and neither
Of them has the rernotest suspicion that
in subscribing for share Of stock IN
the Virginia Corporation Company he had
any purpose IN mind save that or en-
couragng company which, he believed,
would aid In simplifying the commlssion's
work. Being convinced of this. we have
felt that we could do no less than to
express the conviction that Judge Crump
had done nothing to forfeit his claim to
the respect and confidence of that public;
that he had done nothing to call for his
retirement from tho commission. He Odd
not purchase share of stock In q COM
pany already in existence. The pros
pectus of company which 1t was pro-
posed to organize was called to his att
tention. He thought it would be1a useful
company to the commission, and he put
his name down for one share OF stock.
It was merely tentative. The stock was
not then Issued, Of course, and we learn
that no assessment was made on 1t Tor
some time thereafter. The first assess
ment we are told, was for fifty dollars
q share, and we suppose that Judge
Crump paid that amount on his share
when 1t was called for, or within rea-
sonable time thereafter. He was then IN
postion to wait and SEQ what the conf
pany was going to do, and all who know
tho man know that IL he should nave
discovered that It was doing anything to
compromise or enfbarrass him, hea would
have lost no time in dsposlnE Of his
stock and severlng his connection With
the company. In point. of fact, We are
further informed that as soon as the
question OF proprlety was raised, Judge
Crump did dispose Of his equity IN the
share OF stock, for which no had sub
scribcd. and has since had no Econnection
whatsoever In the Virginia Corporation
Company, or any like organization.
Judge c1slnp is responsible to the Gem
eral Assembly for his conduct. He stands
towards that body in the relation OF a
Judge Of the Court Of Appeals, and tho
Constitution provides that amy conn
missioner may be impeached or removed
in the manner provided for the impeach-
ment or removal of a Judge Of said court
Doubtless the Legislature will INQUIRE
