New Caste, Del., May 20, 1870. after the lange Of a week I find mysel! in this quiet, pretty little vewn once more and with the same ob- Ject as before, to study the whipping post and pll- > tory. 1 gave you an account last week of the lash- ing of six criminals for divers little offences, but I had no apportunity then to sce tne pillory in opera- ton, as none of the poor devils sentenced had been bad enough or unlucky enough (1 don’t know which) ‘¥o provoke from the judges an indiction of story No. ofthe whipping post. Therefore it is that 1 come now to finish up the job, 1n other words, to see both ‘whipping post and pillory in operation, and to paint for the delcctation of your readers a pen picture or the acene. ‘fen minutes after one o'clock this afternoon I started from the Wilmington depot in the ttain for Newcastie—a train made up of the engine and one car split up into two compartments—one for passengers ani the other for baggage. Three men worked the train—an engine:r, a fireman and a con- ductor, who also performed the func'ions of brake- man, About thirty minutes pufiing and blowing brought us to the end of our jouiney, and five minutes’ walk sufficed to overcome the distance be- tween the uptown depot ani tne Court House, which was my objective point; for the old Court House bul'ding is where the criminals ace tried, convicted and sentenced. ‘There the State Attorney, Mr. Lore, prosecutes the iaw’s victims, and gets off his tcrrible denunciavions against ravagers of hen coops, the demolishers of old clo’s men, the vipers of ecpildren, the horse thieves, burglars, garoters, murderers and all classes of offenders. There the high and mighty Sheriff Richardson has his official headquarters—a little bit of a corner, where a first rate feline cotil- Jon could hardly be accommodated wiih complete satisfacuon. Richardson was the man I most wanted to see, but bis Sherifsbip was just tien (when I arrived) ca- gaged in Gisoussing his dinuer, and not wishing to spoil the official digestion I left him to his repast and strolled toward the large tron gate leading to the prison house. Here the gentle turnkey, Mr, Mark Wald, was ready and eager to welcome me back. Mr. Wild haa to tell of some deceptive scribe from the city of Brotherly Love, who had professed to describe the whipping of last Saturday (who had not svea the whipping at all), who had pictured the prison warden as a sort of sanctimonious cuss much given to hypocrisy. and ere piety, who had represented that the sashing a! occurred at seven o’ciock In the moralag, ‘Whereas tt did not begin watil ten, and who bud norantly, or purposely, misreprescuted wiat reauy had cceurred, ‘These offences by the Philadelphia scribe,1 ventured to assert, merited nothing short of the lash itsell. ‘What was the offender’s name? Whit paper did he represent? + Wild knew not the name of the deluding Bohemian, but his paper was the Philadelphia Bulte- tin, Mr. Wild was not certain that tue ind.vidual had a name ai all, Whereupon it was suggested that he ought not to be let off (in case of capture) with. out fifteen minutes or go in the pillory, besides get ~—_ softly on the raw hide, . Wild brougut me to Warden Wise for further Julars on the subject. Wise opened by mite “When the man came here the whipping was all over, and he was pretty tight. I knew it because he smel strong of liquor. could he know anything about the thing then!” ‘Which seemed a very lovical methoa of putting the case, but not being particularly interested in the how, or the why, or the wheretore of Philadelphia urnalistic peccadilioes, I cut the subject short, and ined tire conversation to the expecied wiippings: and pL tsine® of to-morrow, “How many cases have you on the list for to-mor- row?” Tasked. e “Seven, altogether, sir,” said Mr. Wild; “two in the pillory, and all to’be Whipped.” “Who are the fellows to be piiloried? Where are they confined?” I next inquired. «John MacHcard and Alfred Brown are the names of the men to be eee in the pillory—both colored men, who siole a horse ana wagon io the country. One of them, MécHeard, was iound guitty aiso of an assault on a clothing store keeper. Their s- 1s forty lashes each and one hour in the pilior, plied Wild. At my request I was led to their cell. Brown, a youngish looking mulatto, was on a stovl by the ceil door, While MacHeard, an oider darcy, very Diack and wicked tn aspect, was piaying ball against the wall and smoking 2 pipe. Still auother colored prisoner was trying gymnastics, haviag hoisted himself by means of a rope up into the win- dow aperture, where he appeared doubled up like a monkey, peering out into the prison yard through the little iron vars. It was a suspicious looking position for @ criminal, suggesting au effort w es- cape. What are you doing there ‘” said Wild. “Taking de fresh air, massa,” said the darky, who speedily and nimbly sprang to the floor. Neither Brown nor MacHeard seemed to give a SBhought to the morrow. “Are you to be whipped in the morning?” I in- juired, addressing Brown, Who answered, “I kiner ink #0.’ “What did you do?’ I asked, “TI didden done nofing much, boss; I jess wanted to take er ride home, me aud MacHeurd, we did, aad ‘we got in dat ar wagon an drav off, I never didden wanted ter take nofla, didden.

Only jess I ride in it, dai’s all.”” “How did you get caught?’ I asked. Brown’s explanation of the form and manner of his capture was something that only a Philadelphia Jawyer could make ont. Thad to give lt up in utter bewilderment. The only points that I could make out atall were that Brown was ouiy six years old ‘when he went to jive “dar,” and that everybody “Mar” knew Brown, and that Brown was an orphan from the time he went “dar’’ until his uncie “tuk” him “fur ter brought him up.”* ‘Turning to Brown’s partner in iniquity, MacHeard, I inquired why he stole the horse and wagon ? “{ qaidden stole um no more urn him,” MacHeara’s self-defensive answer, “HOW do you feel about your punishment to-mor- Tow ‘’ Whereat both MacHeard and Brown chuckled, looking from one to*the other, but making no reply. “Ever whipped before y” | asked. “No, sir-ee,” in a very emphatic way. AN OLD PAUPER DIES—SOLEMN SCENE IN THE CELL OF DEATH. At this moment Warden Wise came up breathless and exclaimed, “Mark, let me out as quick as youcan. Old Jim is going. Guess he’s dying now.” Leaving me to wonder What was the matter, who ‘was old Jim and what were the circumstances of the case, Wild started off ahcad of Wise for the prison doctor. Both returned in a few minuies, accompa- nied by the doctor and a bottle of brandy, I toi- lowed the three mto one of the ceils, where, stretched on a miserable littie bed, laya poor darky in tue last struggles of death. Tne doctor with his sumulant came too late. A moment after our arrival Ie fled from its wretched tenement of clay. The physician nevertheless made an efort. Stooping down he measured out a teaspoonful of brandy aud tried to pour it down the throat. But there was no relaxation of the muscles.

His crime was poverty. He was a pauper—a por, miserable, epileptic vagrant, without home or friends, nobody to care for him, none to lend him a hebping hand, except the cold poorhouse officials im the first place, and next and Jast the authoritles of Newcastle Prigon. While I was gazing down upon his dead face. wondering if any story could be traced tn his dark features, searching for some lust impres- sion that might have played there bdefore Death struck 1t; Mark Wild, the gentle turnkey ‘whispered in my ear the story of Jim Martin. He had been sent to the poorhouse for protection, but his fits were 60 dread{ul and bis manner sometimes RO that the poorhouse people had him trans- ferred to the prison.

New Caste, Del.,May 21, 1870. All last night I dreamed of the fellows to be lashe:t and pilloried, and of poor, dead Jim Martin, the pau- per. I had horrible visions of Browo and Mac Heard, the horse thieves, fighting with Sneriff Richardson and pounding two or three of the jail Keepers to elly. I fancied old Jim came to Iie agata just a3 he was about to be tumbled into Potter’s Field, and grinning savagely at the fright and consternation of his prison keepers over his resurrection, so much aid the occurrences of the day impress themsel ves upon my slumbers at night. i When I visited the prison shortly before ten this morning, I found everything a8 quiet as usual inside and outside. There was no crowd without the walls any more than there was a week ago, when I gave you a fall account of what I saw and heard con- cerning the wnipping of six criminals. I need not, therefore, go into minute details again. These scenes are pretty mach the same, I take it, every time, and I propose, therefore, to coafine myself in the present letter mainly to an account of the cases in the pillory. THE THIEVES IN THE PILLORY. When I stroiled into the prison yard I found the only addition to the penitential apparatus to con- sist of aladaer placed against the platform below the pillory. This was to give the criminals a facilis aacensus averni, or an easy Method cf getting tiem- selves into limbo. As the prison clock struck the hour of ten Mr. Albert Vining, the night watchman, led forth the prisoners, Brown and Mac Heard, dressed in their usual manner, that 1s, in ragged coats, pants and) shirts, and wearing cloth caps that mignt have been new some time be- fore the Revolutionary War. Vining sent the con- victs up the ladder and followed immediately nim- self, placing one of them on the right and the other on the left of the whipping post. That done he un- hooked the frame and raised the upper sections to enable the criminals to place their necks and wrists tm the hobs “for such purposes made and pro- vided.” For the better understanding of the operation by your readers‘! may briefly repeat what I stated last week by way of description of the pillory. It consists simply of a piece of board apout four feet long, one foot high and one incn thick, In this board are cut six holes, two of them large enough for the neck and four of sufilclent capacity to hold securely an ordl- nary man’s wrist. This board, thus provided with hotes, is fastened on the upper part of the whipping post at right angles, and in such @ way that at each side of the post there are two small holes witha large hole between them. The board 1s cut in two, 8o that the upper parts may be raised up, and when put down may be fastened at the outer ends by an ordinary tron hook. As I was explaining, Mr. Vining raised the upper sections of the frame and first fixed prisoner Brown im the curious ake Brown ts 4 very sinail man, his neck only just about reaching the pillory in a safe way, to prevent straining. When the frame was closed upon him, imprisoning neck and wrists, he looked down upon us, smiling dismally, as one who would whistle to:keep his courage up. Mac Heard contempiated his companion’s position in gloomy silence, but was not left many seconds to travel along with whatever train of thoughts was rushing throuzh his mind. No sooner was the frame adjusted over Brown than Vining turned his gttention to the big Mac Heard, who beside bis keeper lookedlike a giant. Mac Heard was soon fixed like Brown, and rolling his large eyes right and ieit finally settled them on one of the prison cell windows, out of which all the convicts on that side were gazing with interest, some of them louking solemn, but by far the greater number laughing and fibing at the pil- loried victims, One of the criminal spectators called out something to Mac Heard which caused the latter to indulge iu a little forced effort at jolly laughter. When ail this had occurred Vining descended the jadder and unlocked the gate of the prison yard, Jetting in a juvenile crowd similar to that which I witnessed and described last weck. There were, perhaps, more grown people scattered among the youngsters to-day than I noticed on the former occasion. As each person entered the yard @ glance was directed to the two prisoners aloft undergoing the sentence of the law. A smile and some ordinary exclamation, like “My! how funny |” or “Goodness? or “By jingo!” were ail that the crowd induiged in. Nobody pelted the prisoners with pebbles or rotten eggs, as used to be done by the brutal crowds that attended such exhibitions in the olden time in “Merry England.” I did not even hear any one. get of a joke at the expense of Srown and Mac Heard, much to my astonishment. in the so-called “good old times” such would not have been the case. I recalled scme of the scenes of which I had read In history and chronicles, where the poor vic- tims while fastened in the pillory were cut with sharp stones, and taken down torn and bleeding aud utterly exnausied, Noble crowds they must have been surely to jeer and torture men to whom retalia tion and revenge were im ‘ible. Iasked the offi- clals about me whether they remembered any in- stances in theit experience of the ill usage of prison- ers by the crowd, and they one and ail declared that they knew of no such cases in Delaware. A very great improvement, therefore, la the New Castle pii- lory Upon its ancient prototype. FIFTEEN MINUTES UP, The sun poured down upon the prison yard this morning with the power of mid-August, and the vic- tums on the platform got the full benetit of the Scorching rays; for they were literally scorching, 80 much so that one feit extremely uncomfortabie even standing in the shade afforded by the prison wall. the very worst places, according to medi to expose to the solar beat.

When thirty minutes had elapsed Brown, the smailer of the two, showed no signs of being used up. He was eviuently more gamey than his big partner, who now seemed uneasier and more ul- comfortable than ever. I fully appreciated the re- mark of a bystander, who “Pluck and endur- ance aint always measured by size.” One would certainly say ‘Troe, indeed,” while contrasting the burly MacHeard, sweltering and puffing, with the cool and euduring Brown, who up to this moment had scarcely recovered from the position in which he was first left by Mr. Vining. The exhibition had grown Cental ae orenaes and uninteresting by ‘this time. Continued gazing up at the victims was tiresome and calculated to produce a “crick in the neck,” ag some of the little boys forcibly expressed it, i certainly expertonced the “erick’’ to some extent inyself, und was beginning to Weary entirely of the show, when Vining came to the rescue with an anecdote, It was about a Dutchman who some years ago was convicted of stealing a horse and har- pi ‘e don’t imprison, you know,” said Vining, “for horve seuling, but we give six months w fellows who steal sinall articles.” When the Dutchman's sentence was announced he cried out, Ach, mie Got, | s.eal a horse and dey no imprison me one day; bat I sieal a whole harness—only tliy cents’ wort— and dey give me six months! Mine Got! Vata gun- try! vat a pecbles!? ‘This made us laugh, and refreshed us for at least fifteen minutes more, when the victims had gone through tiree-fourths of thelr agony. Mac Heard was now, Whenever Vining’s back turned, reguiarly squeezing out his right wrest and squeezing 110 agai, to the admiratiou of the young Newcastlers. Browa was still game, and Mac Heard suil the very opposite. Tie littie barefooted boys were amusing themselves with pitching pebbles at each otuer aud betting on the election, (It seems that tucre 18 sumething of the kind in progress here to-day.) BIXTY MINUTES AND A RELIEF. At last the 1ull hour was up, and Vining, who had already rea-cended the platform, procceded to un- hook the criminas, coimmencing with p.ucky lite Brown, who had endured his piliorying 80 courage- easly and manfully. While Vining was busy at Brown Mac Heard seemed to be enduring the tor- ments of the damned, Every second ap- peared to be felt by him as an hour, so anxiously did he look for deliverance. vi dently a very few minutes more would have finished him up. Brown took his deliveraice as coolly as his punishment, but when Mac Heard, ou getting out his neck and wrist, ejaculated “?hew ! golly !? and proceeded to straighten out nis cervical vertebrae and to swig around lis arms as though they needled unsuiffeang, I should say that the necks of both prisoners ivit unusuaily starchy. Vining ordeied thei to descend the ladder, and a momeut after they were inside the prison again, peeting off prepiratory to getting forty lasies each, Which would compiete their seutence, barring one yeai’s imprisonment. HIGHT DARKIES WHIPPED, Immediately after tue piliorying Sheriff Richarda- son came Jorth with his iasu. There were eght victims on the iist—to wit, Allred Brown, John Mac- Heard, Benjainn Harmon, Jouneputy, John Dawa, Jonn Thomas, Samuei Nichol, and John Jobason. ail colored men, Old Ben Harmon, wiiose case f menuoned yesterday in my letter, was the first lashed, and he is the only one that [ have noticed as showing anytuing like a sense of suame.

RETURN OF EX-CONSUL PUMLLIPS. The steamship North America, which arrived on Fri- day last from St. Thomas, brought ex-Consul Phillips, late United States Consul at Santiago de Cuba, who a short time since was obliged to fy from his post of duty in consequence of a hostite demonstration made against him by the Catalan volunteers of that city, for no other charge than that of his strenuous efiorts to save the lives of American citizens recently assas- sinated by Commander Boet, acting under Vaima- seda's orders, Owing to the frequency of outrages committed upon our flag Consul Phillips was induced to call the attention of our government to the politi- cal state of affairs in his consular district, repeatediy urging the necessity for a vessel of war to be sta- tuoued on that post, pot only for his protection, but that of American citizeos residing there, which re- quest was not complied with, aud finelly eaded by tue Consul being compelied to seck protection under the British flag to enable nim to Jeave the island. Upon his re.urn to Santiago in the Ragsbip Severn it was not deemed advisabie for him to go on shore, having been informed that his Jife would be endan- gered, as the bitter feelings of the Catalans still con- tinued against him. Mr. Phillips, however, procured through Admiral Porter the reiease of the captain and crew of the American sivop Champion, who were seized by the Spanish authorities and held a3 prisoners. He also procured the release of Mr. Latte, of New Orleans, an old man of sixty years of age. who since August last has been in prison for causes to him unknown, and who, had it mot been for the repeated demands of the Consul, would have been shot, Dr. Phillips will proveed at the earitest possible moment to Washington, for the object of laying before che department the particulars of the outrages committed upon the flag of our country, and to request that a remuneration be made to him for the considerable pecuniary losses which he sus- tained in ‘being compelied in his hasty tligat to aban- don his private eitects.

When the blood is in an unsound condition it is as ready for infection as land ploughed and harrowed is to recetve the allotted grain. milk, BRANDRETH’S PILLS cleanse the blood from all infece tom, and those who use them never take infectious diseases; that is to say, when using them no contagious or infectious. malady can possibly be taken, ‘The blood is freed from those matters on which only infection can faaten. ‘Thus BRANDRETA’S PILLS restore your health, and in reality erect a fortress of safety around you.
