Newoasts, Del., May 14, 1870. After / losing and mailing my letter dated yester- ade another visit to the prison aud had @ 8000.0, interview with Sherif? Richardson, My ob- Ject ¥nis time was to pump his sheriifship as regards ‘“anner. ip whicb orminals are generally ‘bappel. 1 found, however, that pumping was un @ay I vy, Mece sary. The Sherif was a willing talker, negged noe extrao dinary skill to draw him out, He spoke with the w'most.freedom on the very subject ‘on Which I sought in’o. mation, and seemed glad of ‘the opporiunity of explaining everything connected ‘with his duties, “Are you obliged py law, Mr. Richardson, to tn- * filet the woipplag with your own hands?” I asked. “The law compeis me “Yes, sir,” he answered, %o Gott, and I ajways do.” “Do you ever find the victims famt under the tn- Miction etther of the whip or the pillory?’ was my next question. He smiled and remarked:— @ cise. You must know that I use con- siderable discretion in inflicting this punish- ment. I rarey very much hurt any of the criminals sentenced to be lashel, depraved cases a'tozetuer, litt’e chitd under ten years old.

SCENE ABOUT THE PRISON, Though the Delaware papers for days have con- tained the announce ‘ment that to-day the whipping of criminals by the Shera would occur, the town up to this moment (and the big show is Low Over) has been a8 quiet as if nothing out of the way was the matter, Whon I reached nere this morning a littie betore ten o’clo.K { found pot the slightest excite- meat prevailing. There was no crowd about the prison clamorag for adinission, such as I have wit- nessed in the victuity of your Tombs on a hang- ing day or soue similar occasion of interest. Nobody except the Shoriff and myself seemed to mind the fags that some poor devils were shortly to be lashed. And, to say the truth, the Sheriff, though he talked about, the sablect Appeared. periectly un- conceined, Tie men of Newcastle taiked about their peaches and other crops, discussed polities and spoke with warm‘h concerning @ democratic meet- ing to occur here to-night, but never an ailusion did thev make to the Whippiug.

Though the Sheriff struck so lightly, the whip rea- dened the skin of Willis’ white back, “You can’c lash a witte man like @ nigger,” said one of the Officials standing at my side, “Jt's far easier to draw the blood from a white man than from a nigger, The white man’s flesh is more tender and won't endure haif so much.” Victim No, 6 was another black man, William Thomas, of whom, when the Sheriff man to whip, the o:tictal who-had remarked on the diiference be- tween black and white flesh, sald in a loud voice, so PELSONAL INIELLIGS 0a Prominent Arrivals in This City Yesterday.
