The refined and chivalrous senti ments of the whole State of Georgia have recently received a severe shock because a warden in the btate peni tentiary gave an obstreperous woman prisoner a decent, or indecent flog ging. The knightly spirit of the State rose in indignant protest against such inhuman barbarity to a defence less woman and it seemed for a while that Warden Allagood and prisoner, Mamie DeCris, would have to ex change places in the penitentiary, if indeed the warden should escape the shdrt shrift and the conventional “riddling” of bullets. Now we know nothing of the pe- The severity of English laws has been greatly mltigaced in modern times. But in England today, when a man commits a capital crime, he is condemned or acquitted inside of ten days after the commission of the crime; and if condemned, there is no appeal, except in some rare instances to the Home Secretary. An Ameri can woman in England poisoned her husband some fifteen years ago, and was sentenced to life imprisonment. In obedience to that same maudlin sentiment in America which is horri fied at the whipping o Mamie DeCris, heaven and earth have almost been moved to secure her pardon, but Mrs. May brick is still in durance vile and likely to remain so till she pays the fell penalty of her atrocious crime. People don’t play at hide-and-seek with British laws, and one conse quence is,they have no lynchiugs over there and there is no vexation over “the law’s delajs.” AMONG OURSELVES.
