Barbarity

- The papers ara exclaimingagninst tho barbaiity of a law ofDelaware, by which a young giri was reccntly eentenced to wear ten T's on her gnrménts, and receive2lO lashes on the bare back-for stelling ten times. The Dolawaro Gazetle says: "And this on a woman, a very genteel looking young girl! tied up to a post, lier naked body exposed to the gaze ofalascivious crowd - stripped and scorctl! iïut enough the theme 19 shocking. Tlus barbarnos law must be repealcd. It is crying dgrscc to the Su!::."The court, and the citizur.s genorally, in-j terceded in her bchalf, and the Governor pardoned her, eo ehevvill go unpunished . We aro gratified that some scnse of decency, as well as of humanity, can be found in Delaware. Büt if it be barbarous to whip a girl at the yyhjppkfg post on the bare back. when duly convicted of crime ten times in fiilCCefisicri, tvhat umi ?lr pdjtpr nf t'-.o Ga- zette say respecüng the thousand cases whicli occur among the slayes at the South, where 'very genteel looking girls," at the capí ice of théir owners, aro punished at Lhe wliippingi postj on the bare baclr, without 'oè'ing guihy! of any crime at all? Is not this a more "shocking" case? As a specimen, road the fojlowiog from the New Orleans Bee, of Oct. G: "Cruel Trealmcnt cfan Infanl Slave. - Josephinc Bonne, f. w. c, w.-.b brouglit yeslerday before Recorder Bertiis, charged wilb having cruelly treated her slave Mary. HÍ3 honor went into a minute ínvestigation of the circumsttinces attending tliiscomplaint, and assisted by Dr. Valietti, made a personal examination öf tbo ciiild. Her body was mostshameiully abused, bfiing covered with scvere stripes and boils ofclotted blood from head to foot, evidently sbowiug a most outrageous mal-treatment on tiie part of her mistress. The case being tiuis clearly provod, liis honor remanvled the prisoner for írialbeforethe criminal court, and fixcd the amount of bail at $500." Willshe be punislied? We (ioubt ;it,. when we see in the respectable papers of New Orleans, such advertisements as the followiirg: From the N. O.
