ihe officers were sworn, aDd then the votes came
iu so fast that it was as much as I could do to

names by eourd, and sometimes they were
rot pronounced correctly at tho window; the

able: 1 dout think that there was any interrup*

papers Bhown in the first hour; can t say that I

think the Republicans polled about fiftyjotes
tbc first hour; that is about one-third of the Re
publican vote: had been twice and I think the
third time inside when Mr. Devitt was judge; I

about two-thirds of the voters who came up.

RELIGIOUS NEWS.
We understand that Rev. Dr. Rudder, of
Bt. Stephen’s, has declined the cull to the
Church of the Epiphany, Washington, D. p.
OvEE Beventy persons have united 1 theni-
Belvea recently with the Green Street Metho
dist Episcopal Church, Rev. J. W. Jackson,
pastor.
Tire Rev. Alfred Pauil was installed pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Hestonville,
near thiß city, on Sabbath evening last, by a
committee of the Central Presbytery of Phila
delphia.
Tiihitt churches have been aided since last
May by the Church Erection Board •’of the
Presbyterian Church. The receipts for this
purpose, during December last, amounted to
$2,719 17.
On Sunday last Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood ad
ministered the Sacrament of Confirmation to
89 boys in the St. John’s Orphans’ Asylum.
This institution is under the care of the Sis
ters of St. Joseph.
The Church of the Good Shepherd (Epia
copal), in Hartford, Conn., built entirely by
Mrs!; S&muel Colt, web dedicated lately. Four
bishops and sixty clergymen were present
The -building cost about $200,000.
A large hotel was Jateiy burned in St
Paul. Minnesota, and among the guests was
the.-Rev., Di. Boardman, with bis son and
daughter, of this city. They lost everything
they had, including trunks, books, clothing,
&c. t amounting in value to several hundred
dollars.
On* hundred thousand dollars were sub
scribed January 28tb, in Mew York, by the
Methodist laymen, towards afnnd of half a
million for building churches in destitute
parts of the city. Four church enterprises
are already on hand, and others will be un
dertaken.
The Free: Methodist Church has had a de
nominational existence since the fall of iB6O.
During eigbtyears it has increased in strength,
until last fall it numbered 6,000 members,
had ninety-four preachers and forty-mine
church edifices, ami owned church property
valued at nearly $170,000.
At the request of the Young Men’s Chris
tian Association, the Rev. J. L. Witherow
will preach a sermon especially to young
men to-morrow evening, at the Arch Street
Presbyterian Church, Arch street above
Tenth. This interesting course of sermons
is intended particularly for strangers in the
city and young men without regular places
ofworßhipi
A Quaker was Recently received into a
Presbyterian church in Brooklyn,New York,
(Rev- Dr. Cuyler's), having been dismissed
by the “Monthly Meeting” in New York,and
commended to this church in a very fraternal
letter. This is the first case of the kind oc
curriDg in New Y ork or Brooklyn, and but
the second that has occurred in America. It
excites much interest
The Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Reconciliation is the name of a new enter
prise which has grown out of St Andrew’s
Chapel, Thirteenth street below Washington
avenue. The congregation has become eo
strong and prosperous that a new place of
worship is demanded. A lot is to be pur
chased on Broad street, and a church in
keeping with the locality erected.
The Ebenezer M E. Church of this city,
Rev.. Dr. Alday pastor, has recently beenlm-
S roved at an expense of $6,400; the mem
erehip has been greatly increased, and it is
now enjoyiog a season of great prosperity.
Last Sunday was missionary day, and the
contributions am printed to $l,OOO. The Sun -
day School missionary anniversary attracted
a large audience. Tho offerings of the chil
dren amonnted to $5OO.
'An interesting piece of intelligence haa ar
rived from the Holy Land. The Church of
tbe Holy Sepulchre, around which the blood
of so many myriads, from the Crusades to
the Crimea, has flowed, has at last been re
stored in a new style, and stands once more
perfect, having been partially re-erected and
wholly re-beautified, strange to say, under
the supervision of a French and a Russian
ambassador, and a high Mohammedan func
tionary.
By invitation of several of the best known
clergymen oi different denominations in this
city, the Rev. Henry Dane Ward will deliver
in the lectnre room of the Church of the
Epiphany, the Rev. Dr. Newton’s, on con
secutive Thursday evenings, four lectures on
“The Gospel of the Kingdom and Reign of
God on Earth.” The lectures are free to the
pnblic,and free from sectarian partiality. The
first is to be given on Thursday evening next,
Feb. 18th, at 71 o’clock.
On last Tuesday evening five persons re
ceived the rite of immersion in the' Third
Baptist Church, Rev. J. H. Peters. At
Broad and Brown streets, on Wednesday
evening, Dr. E. L. Magoon administered the
same sacrament to four others. At the Bap
tist Church in Old Chester, on last Babhatu,
a number were baptized. Revivals of reli
gion are in progress all over the city. In some
instances-prayer meetings have been held
during the entire day, from 9 A. M. till 9 P.
M., and been attended by large audiences.
The thirty-third anniversary of the Sun
day School Missionary Society: of Sf. John's
Evangelical Lutheran Church was celebrated
on Tuesday evening last. Rev. I)r. Beiss
presided, and addresses were made by Rev.
Sir. Hunt, of West Philadelphia, Mr. God
frey, Rev. Dr. Bciss and others. The annual
report showed that there had been contributed
to missionary purposes, $440. There was
also contributed towards the erection of a
chapel for a feeble church in the southern
part of the city, the sum ot $O4O. The ope
rations of the Society are made through the
Sunday School Union, and have been the
means of accomplishing much good.
The Methodist Theological Seminary at
Frankfort-on-the-Main was recently dedi
cated with appropriate ceremonies. The
latest foreign mails give an interesting ac
count of the proceedings. The building is
described as being 72 feet front, four stories
high, and situated on the Roederberg or
Roeder Hill, the highest part of the city. The
grounds lie near the banks of the river Main,
with a beautiful view of the surrounding
country, and overlooking Frankfort and its
vicinity. The cost of the land was about
$O,OOO, and the building, when completed,
will cost upwards of $75,000. The funds for
the erection of this institution are derived
from the gift of $50,000, made by a citizen of
Brooklyn, N. Y., who, it is stated, intends
adding enough to complete it
Tns Friend sayß: “Since the year 1830,
two Quarterly Meetings out of the eleven that
formerly constituted the Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting, and several Monthly Meetings have
been laid down, from declining numbers or
inconsequence of the secession of 1827;
whilst thirty-seven meetings for worship have
been finally abandoned, and reported to the
Yearly Meeting as dissolved within this pe
riod, and their meeting-houses are now deso
late and forsaken, or else demolished. Mean
time numerous other congregations through
out our bordershave dwindled away to a
cozen or, fewer attendants. But five new
meetings are reported on the records to have ‘

j THE BIRCH IN THE BOUDOIR.
Tbe Flagellbuta of modern Britain.
j Another step has been taken in the onward
march of feminine aggression. On all sides
the,fortress in which masculine presumption
has so long been entrerichea is now assailed,
and one by one the outworks hie falllrif.
That hideous old superstition of the supre
macy of man having once been denied, and
bis claims to an' exclusive use of any virile
properties, from brains to breeches, having
<pnce been vitiated,it is astonishing to see how
rapidly the whole social and political fabric
Which bas been constructed on that founda
tion is tumbling to pieces. Man’s monopoly
of cigars, of clubs, of the pulpit, of
the liberal professions, of sports, of aca
demical life, and, of the franchise, having
each of them been more or less successfully
infringed, one might almost have been inclined
to fancy that there waß little else left which
woman could grudge him; that he had been
stripped of every shred of his ancient en
croachments, and that, except the trifling and
accidental distinctions of sex and of bodily
strength, there was now really no property
and no qualityjeft undisputed which might
be said to-'flifmrentiate the male from the
female Briton. But such a conclusion
would be premature, There is at least, it
seemß, one more great privilege, one more
time-honored custom, which the male inhabi
tants of this country have been used to arro
gate to themselves, and of the exercise of
which there are divers notorious emblems
and Instruments. The male Inhabitants of
Great Britain have been hitherto distin
guished from their female compatriots, as from
the inhabitants of most. other countries, by
the peculiar Insular privilege bf receiving cor
poral chastisement'at certain stages and in
certain conditions of their existence; and in
deed, until very recently, it would not have
been an inaccurate account of the difference
between Englishmen and, Englishwomen
which described the former as that portion
of theacommnnity which is, and the latter as
that which is not, flogged. It was not likely
that women, in their present mood of self
assertion, wduld long allow such an invidious
distinction to remain unchallenged. If the
youDg Englishwoman is to be trained to be
in ail respects as like as possible to what the
young Englishman has been, it is clear that
means of discipline and correction similar to
those which have been in force among men
must be brought to bear upon the girls. It
was to be expected that before long that
should occur which has now, it seems,
in fact occurred; that man’s monopoly of the
birch and the cane, as instruments of train
ing or education, should be attacked in the
same way as bis monopoly of the academy,
ihe pulpit aDd the-franchise; that a eect of
Female Flagellants would arise to swell the
numbers of thoee who are assailing man’B
empire; and that to the women who wish to
preach, the women who wish to graduate,
and the women who wish to vote, would
shortiy be added the women who ffrish to
flog.
That in the year 1869 there Bhouid be living
in England, and in London, a considerable
number of women, moving apparently in
good society, and some of them titled, who
are in the regular habit of stripping anlflog/
ging with birches, apple-twigs, or leather
straps, their daughters of thirteen years old
and upwards, must appear to foreigners sim
ply incredible, and to most Englishmen very
queer. Yet that such is the case is amply
proved by a correspondence in the English
woman's Domestic Magazine, on the sub
ject or “Flogging Girls,” which commenced
in August of last year, and which, after hav
ing lasted six months, and having handled
the details of corporal punishment In a style
which certainly did not err on the side of too
much reserve or delicacy, has at last appa
rently been brought to a conclusion by a
summing np from the conductor of the mag
azine favorable bn the whole to the
cause of the flagellants. This corres
pondence, or “conversazione,” as the ladies’
periodicals affect to call their agglomerations
of rambling queries and epistleß on any topic
which happens to interest their patrons, from
best methods of education to best methods of
removing superfluous hair,shows that there are
in England many women—some of theta de
clared by the conductor of the English
woman's Domestic Magazine to be
“ladies of title, and well worthy of atten
tion" —who make it a regular practice, “for
certain faults,” to strip their grown-up girls,
and, either, by their own hands or by the
hands of governesses to inflict Upon them
severe floggings. Nor is this all. Some of
these ladies are downright enthusiasts for the
birch and taws. They Beem to glory in the
privilege of thrashing their girls. They give
faithful representations, carefully drawn from
the life, ot their own pet mode of
conducting the operation. The preliminaries,
the place of execution— sometimes a bed
room, sometimes a boudoir —the instrument
of torture, the behavior of the victim before,
during,and after the infliction of the floggiDg,
in short the most minute details of the entire
process, are described with that graphic force
which some women exhibit when writing on
a subject which powerfully excites thetii.
These writers do not even take the line qf
apologizing for the inhumanity, or of ens
deavoring to palliate the shame, which must
be involved in the proeeSff^ of stripping and
flcggiDg a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.
On the contrary, som s of them, who seem to
have a Bort of mission for propagating the
doctrine of flogging girls; are most" keen In
recommending means whereby the pain may
be made as severe and the shame as over
whelming to the sufferer as possible. Thus,
for example, a “Mother of a Family” who
evidently belongs to this class of enthusiasts,
who says that Bhe was herself flogged “until
Bhe was fully fourteen years old,” and who,in
describing her experiences, occasionally em
ploys a phraseology which is a little too
highly spiced to be quoted here, writes :
“I have my girls’ fullest love and confidence;
yet I never omit the punishment for certain
faults. At the same time it causes hardly an
hour’s intermission of our happy intercourse.
It is, of course, Inflicted in strict privacy, and
without anger or scolding. A short while ago
I tested both plans in the caße of a niece, a'
girl of thirteen, who was placed under my
control in my house. She had been reared
on the ‘moral force’ plan, and was as bold
and disobedient a child as could be met with.
For a month J tried the moral plan, but in
vain. At leDgth I resolved to see what the
rod would do; and so, taking her with me
one day after gross misconduct into a secluded
room, I lectured her kindly and gently on her
behavior, and finished by telling her that, as
all other means had failed, I would now give
her a sound whipping. Bhe was much dis
mayed, as you may guess; but seeing how
calm and determined I was, she quietly sub
mitted, and I gave her what some American
friends call ‘a spanking,’ sharp, short and
effectual. From that day the greatest change
has been visible in her; and though four
months have elapsejd, I have found it neces
sary to repeat the operation only twice.”
Only twice! and does this enthusiastic
flagellant, in whom the disposition to flog .
appears to be coDgs-ltal or inherited habit,
really, think that three floggings in the course
of foiifr months are a small allowance for a
young lady in her fourteenth year? Would
a Harrow boy of the same age consider it-a
small allowance? What would a Wykeha
mist in 'the Fifth Book think of being
“bibled” or “scrubbed” at the rate of nine
times a year? But then Wykehamißts and
I h THE DAILY EVENING BPlkEfoN— 13,1869,
, Harrovians are not, if we may judge from the
i lamentations and complaints of parents and
teachers in the Englishwoman's Domestic
Magazine, so unruly, so insubordinate, and
so generally incorrigible as young ladies aged
, Ifojn,,thirteen la Thus one poor
' describing! the failure- of an
attempt to educate'girls under 'the “no •
personal -chastisement system,” says:
! “Their progress was so unsatisfactory, and
their general conduct so insubordinate and
unladylike, that I yielded to tbe reiterated
solicitations of the governess, and consented
td her introducing the rod. One was accord
ingly procured, and at her suggestion it was
of soft, pliable leather, cat into long,
narrow thongs at one end, which she assured
me produced intense pain with little or no
injury to the person. I directed the govern
ebs to inflict u'pon'eacb of them a most severe
which was arranged to take place
in her boudoir immediately after evening
prayer. Tbe eldest was first taken to her
dressing-room and prepared for the rod,-and
then conveyed to the bondoir by the govern
ess, who at once administered tbe discipline.
Tbe younger one was then prepared, and re
ceived a wholesome flagellation. These
Whippings were administered sopra dorsum
nudum (sic), the delinquents being tightly
strapped to an ottoman during the castiga
tion, at the conclusion of which they had to
kjsq,tiie .rpd and thank the governess, when
they were permitted to retire. Since then
there-has been a most marked improvement
id their behavior, and: the made in
their studies has been truly gratifying. It is
nbw nearly nine months since one had to be
corrected in the boudoir,'although the rod is
yet occasionally applied to the palms of their
htrida when they are negligent.”
)At the commencement oi tfais discussion
on the art and mystery of flagellation, it' ap
peared that there was a largenumber of fair as
pirants to initiation in the mystery who were
extremely ignorant of its most elementary de
tails. Venr numerous and very various- in
quiries as to the best instruments to the best
means of making or procuring it, and as to
the best mode of applying it when procured,
appear to have poured in upon the editor such
as it might have perplexed even Orbilius
himself to have answered satisfactorily. Bat
the editor was equal to the occasion. He
availed himself of the assistance of some
persons of his own sex who had experience
ot the flogging of boys; and. their teachings,
backed by the extreme keenness and eager
ness to learn which the patronesses of the
magazine exhibited, have caused a most
rapid and astonishing advance io tbe develop
ment of tbe doctrine and discipline of'tbiß
Dew Society for the Whipping of Young
Women. The following six princi
ples may be said to be definitely
adopted by the Society: 1. 80
long as girls are under their parents’proteor
tion there is practically no limit of age, short
of twenty-one years, beyond which they may
not be profitably flogged. “Even at tne age
of eighteen,'’cries one enthusiastic mother,
“I will administer corporal chastisement;”
while another says that she inflicts this dis
cipline “regardless of the age of the offender,
who, if she behaves like a child, must expect
to be treated as one.” 2. The flogging of a
girl should always be effective; and it is so in
proportion as it produces shame and pain. 3.
With tbe view of producing shame, it is de
sirable that the sufferer's sisters should be
present at the operation. 4. For similar
reasons, and also in order to obviate resist
ance, it may be well to summpn the attend
ance of the servants:
“On tbe first occasion (says a lady who
signs herself a ‘Lover of the Rod’) on which
your girls show disobedience and want of re
spect for their mother, order all three up to
your bedroom, to wait till you come. I
would keep them all three waiting in sus
pense, as not comprehending your intentions.
Then I would provide myself with a good
birch sod or cane (a cane is very severe), go
up stairs, shut the doors, and at once tell tbe
eldest one you are going to give her a flog
ging. Doubtless she will teel much aston
ished, and very indignant; but if you are firm,
and threaten to call In the servants to help
yon, she will submit There must be shame
as well as pain in this; but she bas deserved
both, in my opinion; and one such punish
ment in the presence of her two Bisters will
do everything.” (
5. With the view of producing pain the suf
ferer piust be unflinchingly stripped. This
principle was, after some hesitation, finally
settled in t,he last number of the magazine,
on the "authority of "an old gentleman who
affirmed that “during his school career it was
biß duty, ah junior King’s Scholar, tb pur
chase and apply all the birch rods of the col
lege,” who says that in choosing the instru
ment“salutary care must be taken to purchase
rods with good buds, the handles being
about the thickness of {he wrist,” and who
“warns perplexed mothers that any interpo
sition of underclothing materially interferes
with the efficiency of the operation.” The
sixth rule Btates how and where the rod is to
be applied. The discussion of this question
dees not appear to have presented the least
difficulty, to,the conductors or the contribu
tors of this magazine. They have treated tbe
topic with a freedom and fearlessness of ex
pression which is justified by one corres
pondent onthe ground that “the English
woman's Magazine is written for women
only,” and which we may therefore suppose
represents, in the opinion of that correspond
ent, the genuine esoteric or after-dinner style
of ladies’"conversation. The'reader, is "hot
likely to feel much desire to intrude into the
mysteries of such a conversauonjandJjesides,
enough has already been said to snSw how
rapid a progress has been made since the
summer by this new sect of female flagellants
in the organization and propagation of their
doctrines.
The French Commissioners who recently
reported to the Emperor on our Public
Schools express their astonishment that our
great Head-Masters, with their huge salaries,
their extensive learning, their high reputation,
their dignified social position, and their good
prospecls of seats in the House ol Lords,
should condescend to use the birch; and they
declare their conviction that the custom will
soon die out. It seems plain, from what haß
been written during the last six months in the
Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine,
that if the English Head-Masters do abandon
the custom of flogging, it will be enthusiasti
cally maintained by English mothers and
their governesses. Is it possible that before
loDg the only creatures in Europe, besides
cattle, that are flogged, will be English
criminals and English girls ? Or is the whole
of this amazing correspondence fictitious ? Is
it nothing more than an elaborate and vulgar
hoax? Have “Materfamilias,” the “Marchi
oness,” the “Perplexed Mother,” and the
other “Lovers of the Rod” no existence out
of the fertile brain of the conductor of the
Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine f
One of these, two hypotheses-must be true,
and it is hard to say which of them is the
more preposterous, — Saturday Review.
