Wii.misotu.'*. December 25.—The whipping
po<t in the New Castle jailyard bad seven vic
tims yesterday. Three boys, who had stolen
something like fifteen dollar.;, got ten laslics
* piece. Twenty lashes were applied to the
lucks of four other prisoners who bad been
convicted of larceny. Sheriff Clark did not
handle the cat in a particularly forcible man
ner. and the men t. ho were strung up in the
pillory didn't seem to mind the blows much.
The whipping post has greatly degenerated
in kite years. There was a time when it was
applied hi -V : : minutely to thieves and felons
of high and low degree. Now it is mainly
used as a sort of scarecrow for chicken thieves,
sneak thieves and errant tramps known as
pea li plucks." There are Delawareans liv
ing in tiiis city who remember, as children or
youths, a time when some of the Jtiue Hen's
most respectable chickens were put into the
pen known as tiie pillory and made to expi
ate their offenses against law and morality by
a forced embrace of tli • whipping post.
HUAXJlF.n WITH AS “F.”
Asa child the writer remembers having
seen men who, after being whipped, were by
law compelled to wear the letter "F” (felon)
over the back of their coats, as long as they
remained within the boundaries of that state.
Other people, a little older, will recollect how
in Dover a man, who had been a prominent
church member an 1 most highly respectable
citizen, for some act of dishonesty was pub
licly whipped and condemned to wear the
stigma of disgrace, the letter “F,” as long as
he lived, or to abandon his home and busi
ness and take up his abode in another state.
He resolved to stay where his interests and
affections inclined him to remain. Although
lie was a storekeeper and his occupation neces
silated his constant appearance in public he
attended to bis business in person, and it is
said by those who frequented his store as
purchasers that he had his stock so arranged
and was so adroit in his movements that no
one ever caught a sight of the badge of bis

p.st. If they come into my store to do any
stealing I’ll have them arrested and whipped
as quick as if they were chicken thieves.” No
one believed the "fellow would carry out liis
threat.but he did. Two of the sisters came
into bis place and after they were gone lie
missed a"bundle of gloves. He followed them
up the street, called a constable, had
them arrested, searched and would have

a score of citizens for their appearance to an
swer tiie charge at court. Now began the tug
of war. It was known that if the ease came
to trial tilt- young ladies would he sentenced
to be wliipic d and that tiiis sentence would
not lie remitted by the governor, who was one
of the sternly righteous men, who believed

ease of aiier-disci vere.i extenuating evidence.

who had already been much impoverished
through the peculations of his family, was to
buy tiie prosecutor off.
This he did and reduced himself to almost
absolute want by complying with the de
mands made upon him. Tiie father never re-
overeil from this public disgrace and died
soon after. Tiie daughters, however, who
never seemed to understand that they had
been guilty of any criminality, held up their
heads bravely, and ail married Well. Some
of them are living to-day, beloved wives and

of tiie whipping-post, it is said, get their dry

heir fatlier did.
disgrace whilst being waited on by
him. In the old time, when Delaware
was more rigid in Igr righteousness than she
is in-day, it was held by those who made and
those who administered the laws that dis
honesty was much more heinous when en
gaged in by those placed by social position
' ■ want and amidst respectable surround
a In i
ings than when indulged in by those tempted
by necessity and evil companionship. Con
sequently, when a prominent citizen was
caught stealing or forging, his punishment
was always made heavier and more severe
than that meted out to rogues of either of the
classes contemptuously known, as “poor
Whites” or ‘'free niggers." In fact, a half
century ago so large a proportion of the crim
inals punished by whipping was of the re-
sjiectablc class of society, that a lady on visit
ing Delaware sonic years ago, having heard
that tiiis, that and the other distinguished
citizen was the descendant of some one who
had been publicly whipped, asked: “Donot
«tl the aristocrats of Delaware derive their
patents of nobility from the whipping post?”
WllIITINU A MAGISTRATE.
Toward the close of the last century an
eminent and well-beloved gentleman of .Sus
sex county, a public benefactor, distinguish
ed for piety, fell from his high estate. He
was a magistrate, and noted for wisdom and
excellence of judgment. On one occasion
there was brought before him in his official
capacity some counterfeiters, who had been
arrested for passing bad money, a large
amount of which was found upon* their per
sons. The magistrate, as -was his duty,.took
jiossossion of the counterfeit stuff, to destroy,
it was supposed. The ftjgues were committed
for trial and subsequently pilloried and whip
ped. Years afterward the neighborhood was
Hooded with “bogus money;” at 'length
traced to the “’squire,” who had committed
the culprits alluded to, and who it was after
wards discovered had been for a long time
passing the money he had confiscated for de
struction. Every effort was made to shield
this beloved and respected citizen from the
consequences of his offense, but without any
avail whatever. He was whipped most se
verely in tiie jail yard at Dover, as the slicrift'
who inflicted the punishment was so fearful
that he might he accused of partiality for a
rich and respectable criminal that lie’ cut so
deeply into the flesh as to cause the blood to
mu off the end of tiie lash and down iiis own
hands, whilst the back of the unfortunate
offender was a sight on which the most,
stoical could not look without being sickened
with horror and pity.
A POLITICIAN SENTENCED.
Some So or so years ago a well-known and
very able politician of Wilmington ran for
congress and came within three votes of being
elected. He spent more money than he
could afford, and in order to tide over a tem
porar.v embarrassment forged the indorsement
of bis brother in-law, a distinguished plsysi
eian of the city, to a note given by him,'in
t 'tiding to take it up before it came to matu
rity and so escape any bad consequences, li
so happened that he was noton good terms
with the brother-in-law, and this tiie teller of
the bank at which the note was presented for
discount knew. It was therefore retained
until the matter could be inquired into. The
teller took occasion speedily to see the
doctor, and said, suddenly: “Why, you
have made your quarrel up with J—— and
have commenced indorsing for him, eh?”
“I have done nothing of the sort,” said the
doctor, who was thrown off his guard, and
who, for family reasons, would have cut his
tongue out bet re giving his relative away
had he taken time to thing before speakin '
His after attempts to hush up the matter
were without avail. Political opponents of
the unfortunate culprit got hold of the story
anil he was indicted, tried, and found guilty
of the crime of forging, and sentenced to be
whipped. That he would have been so pun
ished there is no doubt, had not his lovely
and loving wife gone to tiie governor aTid to
the governor's wife and so wrought upon the
sympathies of both as to secure his pardon.
But from thar time forth he was politicallv
and socially dead.

New York, December 27.—[Special corres
pondence]—Compare Christmas in New York
with Christmas in Atlanta and you have the
two extremes of quiet and fussiness. Atlanta
howls on Christmas. New York seems asleep.
There are none of those doleful horns, queer
nslru meats to express juvenile joy; none of
those cannon crackers popping under the
:oat tails of the pour pedestrian; none of
those gay fantastic processions for which At
lanta was once famous.
Here it is a day at home, the streets being
almost abandoned to the newsboys and the
tipplers. Christmas is more of asocial occasion
here i think. Dinners and evening parties
are planned for months ahead. Families
draw all their connections into one general
glad conclave around the plum pudding and
theslierry. under the mistletoe and the bright
red holly berries.
These delights were enjoyed yesjerday un
der a sky soft as June and in the same balmy
air that has wooed out the (lowers in the
meadows of Massachusetts for the first time in
a score of years to look December square in
the face.
But it seems that the season so favorable to
outdoor vegetation is disastrous to the culture
the conservatories. Fancy flowers are
scarce and prices very high. It is estimated
that over half a million dollars will be spent
in Moral decorations for New York’s new year
receptions and still there are complaints of
the scant supply. Some ladies told me in
Philadelphia the other day that they had to
be content to liil vases this year, whereas last
year they were festooning rooms and adorn
ing tables with (lowers. They say the ex
pense, however, is about the same.
New year's will be almost universally obser
efi here. Tiie granduer of preparation for it
excels anything yet known. Superb invita
tions are out for those expected at the most
palatial residences. The dressmakers and
tailors are working day and night to make
young America fit to be seen in the dazzle of
next Monday night. Jewellers are designing
charms to sparkle in linen and lace. Cater
ers are racking their brains to concoct delica
cies to tickle the pandered taste of aristocrat
ic circles.

Millions of dollars are pouring into'circula-
tion for this week’s festivities. It is said bv
some that New York is the most extravagant
city in the world. I have often heard that
Americans are recognized abroad, even in
Paris, by tlieir reckless expenditureof money.
Fortunes come easily here and are not treated
with that reverence which the heir of an old
feudal estate feels toward a property centuries
old, linked with tiie history of his ancestors.
New York is a spendthrift town.
It ruins many a man with the temp
tation to live beyond his income.
Titere is a grain of the truth in ti e old saying
that when a stranger comes here to see the
sights it costs hint ten dollars every time he
turnsaround. A stylish lunch at some of the
“toniest” restaurants, where French finery is
aped and French prices multiplied by five,
will cost a young man about what a month’s
board would in Atlanta. Still you can live
here as cheap as anywhere. One has only to
keep in His sphere, rebuking all inclination
to showiness ' with tiie stern maxims
of common sense to he safe and successful.
I have met three or four southern boys
who came to New York a few years ago to
begin on small salaries. They went at the
thing right, always getting in more than went
out, and working like a man must work here
to be anybody. Of the three I have now in
mind the lowest salaried- is getting $3,500 a
year with a business reputation that guaran
tees him an increasing income,
When a man gets such a start as that, his
danger is from the contagious fury for sudden
wealth. Tiie head must be cool, not to be
turned by tlia frpquent stories of millions
made at one lucky stroke on 'change, and the
hand must- be steady to keep from tossing
into the wheel of fortune the few thousand
saved in years of hard, economical living.
Wall street lias hanging out all the while its

Quite a sensation was created here by the

the conviction that General Johnston made a
hasty accusation on insufficient evi

THE WEEK’S REVIEW—FRIDAY. DECEMBER CO
New York—The cotton market, considering the
interference of the holidays, has been fairly
ctivc this week, though the tone has been quiet
and steady, and the tendency of the market has
been to a lower range of prices. Net receipts have
been liberal, and the amount of stocks now in sight
has a depressing influence on quotations. To-day
lutures opened steady at prices considerably under
yesterday’s closing figures, and early in the morn
ing showed a want of strength, which feeling pre
vailed throughout the remainder of the day. and
resulted in lowering quotations several points. At
the close to-day the market was quoted easy for
future deliveries, and, compared with the figures
of a week ago, show's a loss of 18@-5 points. The
spot market has been remarkably quiet and steady
ith limited demand; middling 12c
Net receipts for the week ending to-day 191.3C7
bales, against 200,225 bales hist week and against
197,899bales for the corresponding week last year;
exports for the week95,930 bales; same time last year
2,S72 bales; stock 1,217,702 bales; same time last
year 977,309 bales.
The local cotton market has been unusually quiet
this week, especially during the early part, when
business was at a standstill. Latci on there sprung
better feeling and a few sales have been reported.
Prices to-day are some lower than a week ago, but
buyers appeared more animated which cheeked
the downward tendency of the market. At present
the market is steady and prices are being sustained.
The futures market has been fairly active. Receipts
for the week ending to-day amount to 2,053 bales,
against 1,423 bales for the corresponding week last
year.
