The Republican canons meeting, on Friday night luat, nominated Robert J.

It should be the wish and effort of all that the bail man win. In this case we have no doubt but that Mr. Atwell would prove an efficient and able officer In the future as In the past, and as be Is disabled from laborious pursuits by wounds received while In the cavalry ser vioe of the United States, it should be con sidered the duty of all alike to give bim the boon he seeks when it can be su cheaply and easily granted and bestowed. Moreover, it Is the Centre's turn to have this office, a claim that we presume will not be seriously disputed. . We understand Mr. Burgess, qrbo was Mr. Atweli's opponent, now supports bis claim heartily as be agreed to do when they went into the caucus tegetber. This Is right and honorable, and redounds to bis credit as a gentleman. Lawfix Flaubi.latio.n. Judga Trim- key's charge to the jury ia the late whip ping case from this place, shows conclu sively that children can be flogged by the eacber at will. Anything short of death is not punishable ou the contrary it is lawful. There ia no doubt that the Judge sympathized with the girl to the case allud ed to but he was powerless. As it stands this law, which is the legacy ef a bygone age, lu which cruel treatment was consider ed essential, Is a disgrace to the civilization and Christianity of the day la which we live. It can and ought to be repealed, and now that the Ceostitution of Pennsylvania is undergoing a second incubation, wo think that a compulsory system of education free Irom corporeal pnutshmeot might easily be batched out with the other Improvements contemplated. Then, the ignorance that begot and per peluates so barbarous a system as flogging In schools will disappear, and a better phil osophy take its place.
