THE GRUMBLER:
Ao. 6.
[ The Grumller ruaketh some sage suggestion* on flu• sub
ject of Capital Pun ishments—he argnith that Ikctr un-
jrt f/uency is the reason of the boldness of Crime.] i
Mistaken philanthropists, .in various parts ofthe country, !
I find, are making a strenuous and united effort, no: only ■
to abolish imprisonment for debt, but aUotft abolish capital
punishment, let the crime be ever su enormous. Now,
that these enthusiasts, though actuated by pure motives, are :
laboring under mistaken notions of humanity and philanthro
py, 1 shall endeavor to shew, and expect to be able to prove.
The great object of punishment is the prevention of crime.
To obtaiu this end, the punishment must carry a terror w ith
it, proportioned to the magnitude of the offence.
Though it may, at the first blush, appear cruel, and unbe
coming a civilized people to iuffict the punishment qf death
on a human creature, aud we are disjxised to esteem as bar
barian those nations whose criminal codes are more san
guinary than our own—yet, upon feature reflection, the cus
tom docs appear to me to be founded iti humanity as well as
injustice.
The llolv Scripture tells us, as the behest of the Almigh
ty himself, that whoso ehedeth man’s blood, by man shall
his blood Le shed—and. We shall find, that those uations
whose laws approach the nearest to the Divine law, are the
nearest to perfection. The criminal laws of the Turks, 1
am told, are predi atCvl on the Bible—with them capital
‘punishments are frequent, aud crimes very rate—the crime
is detected, nnd the offender punished, almost as soon as it
is committed—escape ia haidly possible. Hence, in no part
of the world, is there less vice, or a purer state of tucrals*
than in the Turkish dominions.
To prevent the frequency of crime, it seems reasonable
ihat the punishment should equal tlie magnitude of the of
fence—nnd be so awful ns to strike terror into all who are
disposed to commit a like act.
That capital punishments, in our land, have not had the
effect of preventing crime, I will allow’—but this, I conceive
to be owing entirely to the facilities afforded the criminal, by ,
private aud public sympathy, to escape the penalty of the
law. Murders are common enough, God knows—and the
number and frequency are daily increasing; vfet, how seldom
is the murderer brought to justice! Ten chances to one lie
is not arrested; if arrested, ten chances to one he is not con
victed; and if convicted, ten chances to one lie makes his es
cape, or is pardoned by the Legislature ! So, not one in a
hundred of the ihousaud murders committed every year in
the country, is atoned for by the blood of the murderer !
To prevent crime, laws must not only be severe, but the}
must be peremptory. And we must have officers of the law,
Who, iustead of aiding the culprit to escape, as is frequently
the case, will aid the law in bringing him.to justice. If one
man is allowed to kill atiothc: with impunity —or when con
victed, instead of being hanged, as he deserves, is pardoned I
and set at liberty, it brings disgrace upon the laws, and eti- j
courages others to pursue the eame coutse.
Under the Mosaic law, criminals were promptly appro- J
heuded and punished. Such a thing as a pardon Was never j
thought of—no misplaced sympathy arrested the course of i
justice—consequently* murders were exceedingly rare.
But in our day, w hen assissins and sw indlers of all kinds •
are caressed and pampered, and countenanced L>v public o- 1
pinion—when more sympathy is IVlt for the* convicted felon ^
than for suffering virtue, it is no Wonder that crimes, ofthe j
most atrocious dye, become co Ireqnent.
By doing away with capital punishment, you do awov
with the great terror of the law\
True, it need not be inflicted for every offence; but the (
penalty should Le proportioned to the atrocity ofthe crime.
And a pardon should never be hoped for or granted. If
anything should be abolished, it should be the pardoning of
criminals.

The New Orleans financiers—that clique of paper swind- ]
| ler» who control tiie banks and business of the great com- .
j mercial ddpot of the south west—have resolved that there J
I shall be no resumption of specie payments bv tlie banks of ;
! the country until the people, whom they plunder, submit to '
! another great National Bank. Samuel J President 1
I ofthe City Bunk, writes to the convention of thieves, at Lou t
! iaville that il is useless to attempt specie payment nntil^p lie i
| tioual Bank sliali have been established. Now £*nm is the J
! partner in u great grocery which requires large Bank uccom- j
! uiodalious ; he is a great contractor to supply flit troops in J
I Florida which requires extensive credit; amt he is Presi
dent of oil extensive paper mill, swindling shop or bank.
! * hich is throwing out its worthless paper in boshels and j
I charging 6 percent interest on money it borrows frein the 1
j planters and other producers ofthe country. So long as j
these bank swindlers are allowed to mukc the laws of the j
! country the people must expect to b?* plumlert;d by irnulee- j
I tnabie paptir. These gigantic robbers can each uflmd to j
| keei^up a newspaper to blind the public, to puff their w is ,
I duin and to laud every act of public robbery which their pri- j
I vale intciests may di«*late. Look at the New Orleans press l
not one raises its voi«*e upiinst that wholesale corporation |
plunder by which a few desperate bank gamblers and list j
' meiclianij* UloUO]H»!i7V the business* of the country, became j
nabobs A rob the whole producing rlassb* ol tlife great valley *
ofthe Misshbippi. Samuel J. Peters, Edward Yorke. JtS’m !
Mint urn, Gleiuly Burke, it id genius owne, by the list j
system of selling cotton, (which men ns putttiug as inu« h of 1
the piocecde into his own pocket as hi* cupidity may dictate
without the planter having any possible menu* of detecting !
the fraud,) by the use of insolvent bnnks, and by tlie various \
means which the paper system presents, ate making bun i
dreda of thousands annually, while the whole community arc •
distressed, the producers robbed aud hundreds of efficient :
and holiest business men aie out of employ imut. These j
men owe all their consequence to the p. per system; and ;
such i* now tlieir connexion with tlie insonent banks of New I
Orleans, that the more the paper depreciates the better for I
them and the cliques who move around them. Auchan? the <
enormous blackmail which these men now draw from tlie ]
labor of the country through the paper and fraudulent far- ;
to rage systems of New Orleans', that they can support ail
the papers in tl;c city by nppropriat ng a small portion of ]
their extra plunder to the Oumiios of bribery*
John Minturti is l*re i lent of ti e Merchants Bank of New
Orleans, one of the tenders to the dishouvfed and faithless
Bank ofthe United State*. Besides he is one ofthe favor- !
iu; conti actors of that other den of swindlers the Second i
Municipality, lie wants the use of immense sums of irre- .
definable paper to enable him to monopolize in hi* line.
The charter of the Bank over which he provides was Irsu- '
dulently obtained fron* the Legislature and then sold to Ni
cholas Biddle for S 10( ,000 by the clique w ho obtained it.
It was required in the bargain tlnjt Mr. Biddle should use ,
die men who obtained the charter in the management of the .
Bank and in stealing the property of the producers, t nder
this contract, the Bank with a capital of n million went into
* peration, aud soon got in debt to the old prostitute in Chen- •
nut street, upwards of three million of dollar*, But one
thieving shop was not enough for Nick in New Orleans. So »
rich a harvest for hank plunder must not be permitted to
waste for want of reapers, and the Gas and Exchange Bank
are also enlisted in the paper plunder for the benefit of the (
l’hiladolphis monster. Edward Yorke, a broken merchant
is the financier to nianagv the Exchange Bank. He nnd j
Minttirn were tht* agents for the Brandon bank in shipping j
! thecnttuii which that swindling concern seiK to llutnphiev
J and Biddle in 1638.
I Samuel Peters openly acknowledged in his report of tlie <
L^g'*l»ture that tlie City Bank is b.opelessly iiiM'hbnt, nn- i
less it can borrow money for an indefinite period—or in oth- J
cr w ords c**t relief from a new National Bank. But as S**ui
cannot now get this great loan to prop up the City Bank, he .
| is resolved to borrow 5’s, Ilfs. 100’s, and 1000’s, in
| the shape of promissory Aot«*s from the producing class®i of
! the country. Tiuinsam!* of tliese notes signed by Samuel i
j Peter* are now floating about in this State in the hands of .
i c*nr horifst ]»rodmfl*rR who gave the value of 6pecie in ex- i
chance for thelii. The Bank get legal interest for every j
] note they issue, and let us enquite what are the basis ?
1 Why th* - * paper of the verv insolvent gamblers who con
i’ trol and direct the Bank* f—Bv the last report of the Bonk
j of New Orleans to the Legislature, it appears that their
I condition was infinite worse than it was in October last. The
| t’itv Bank which Pam Peters says never can pav her debts
unless ho is permitted to borrow and steal for the purpose,
had Upwards of )4 hundred thousand circulation and only
| about 15 thousand to icdeetn it • lhis is less than one dnl-
i lar for e\-erv eight in circulation. Sam vouches that the
* other Banks of New Orleans, an> iti equally desperate cir-
i eumstanrr*. This is nnt true ; but as far as the interests of
J the people are roncerred it l ecutnea them to act on it ami
i refu.-Mhe purer of all ihc*c ftaudnfejit in.,«iiniirr*. The
rinaujgert cl the few ?wd Bank- tiil.ti want tb« luacstty o
n dependcuce to disvltarge lhcic.fe<uf ht debts ; and they will
Le dragged to the dust with the others.
Gov. Roman has encouraged them in their fraudulent
course ; and when Glendy Burke, 8am. Veters and the wholes
t ibe of s[>eculaiors who control the legislatures the State, ihu
action t f the B.auk, and the ^®<?OBd Mtmicipdoy, openly de
clare iu favor of au inconvertible paper currency until they
get another National Bank to bolster them up ! 8»uce their
paper has depreciated about four per cent, they have increa
sed tlieir circulation as a matter of course, cashed bills t<»
enable two pent y ess specu alois to buy up all the boggiug k
rope in New Oneaus aud thereby raised iu price u> thef
planters iu two da\s from 20 to 24 cents t>er yard ! This is
the machinery end the modus operands oy which these ban
kers and speculators plunder the planters out of 17 per ceut
on all the bagging and bale fupe used on tlieir plantations.
But this is not the worst of tlieir plunder. Tuey will now
return them the promises to day of these iuaol vent bauks for
tlieir cotton. In the first place they have robbed the plan
ters out of 17 per cent on the baggiug and rope by the ban
king system, then they cheat them out of 50 cents a bale
charges fur storaee, drayage Ac., Ac., though they do not
pay one rent on these charges : then they swindle them out
of probably two dollars a bale by tlie list system which we
have already explained, and the balance is remitted to them
in New Orleans bank paper. As soon as tlie spring returns
are made, these factories and bank swindlers go to work A
extend their issues still further, and thereby depreciate the
value of the very money which they remitted u> tlie planters a
few weeks previous. And vet the men who are daily pur
suing these swindle financial operations are styled hignmiu-
de<i and houcrable men, and %ha whole tribe of editors in
their pay will raise hosannas to their virtue, dignity, purity
and gentlemanly-deportment! These desperate swindlers
are daily engaged iu coining money, the highest attribute of
sovereignty-vitiating the currency and miring and lowering
the standard of value just to suit tlieir own cupidity. Iu for
mer time* when intellectual darkness overspread the land,
corrupt and despotic monarch* te sorted to singular schemes
to supply the means to carry on their extravagance and pro
fligacy. When they could no longer resort to taxation they
called in the coin of the uartion, and under pretence of stam
ping it anew, they mixed it with base metal aud put the ba
lance iu their own cullers. This is precisely what the New
Orleans swirdlers will do when tlie people of this State du
ring the present spring and summer. Peters and Minium
and Yorke ami Burke and tlie whole trite of speculators A
borrowers will issue bank paper so as tG reduce its value
from 10 to 15 f»er cent., and just rob the planters of this Stale
out ofthe amount of the proceeds of tlieir cotton. Public
intelligence soon became too great to tolerate the vitiation of
coin even by the despots of old ; yet in the lahd of freedom
and in this enlightened age we tamely submit to tlie ignomi
nious plunder, notbv Kings, Princes or even the state or fe
deral government; \>ul by a bund of uneducated desperate
speculator*, insolvent and ignorant merchants who hard
sprung up like mushrooms irorn tlie very droM of humanity >
Eighteen of these houses have borrowed upwards of eight
millions from the banks of New Orleans, and until it suits
the convenience of thtfse speculators to J>«y the debts it is
impossible for the banks to pay theirs, lii the mean time
the people are to be fobbed, the honest merchants of small
capital but strict business habits must be driven from all com
petition with these bank favorites, the mechanics and labo
rers are 11 be swindled out of a portion of their earnings and
all is to swell the pomp extravagance and parade of these
swindlers who manufacture the currency.
It is important to the honor, the iftierest tod the welfare of
this state that the public should W thoroughly Acquainted
with Vie character and standing, public aud private of those,
men who are daily engaged in making cur currency—aftec-
tinu the price of labor and property at will—making nabobs
of a few bank officers and. Yist merchants while they plunder
thousands of the honest eaTidug?, The sneers of these pri
vileged swindlers and the denunciations of tlie press that
ponder to their avarice and ambition shall not deter us from
exposing tlieir corrupt and gigantic schemes of sggiaudize*
meut.
IN’#. XIII.
The Lizardis*.—\Vc alluded to this financial concert be 4
fore—but there are boma points in their history hot yet fully
developed. There is a good dual of mystery connected
with the houses of F. de Liznrdi A Co. The firm has lately
been changed, but the circular sent out to announce it, is
quite silent as to file hain'es of the partners composing th*
new firm.
The Lizardis were in the Mexican trade, Slid acquired
considerable wealth by smuggling in that country, Thertt
s a large amount of real estate owned by the family in Lou
isiana ; but die title deeds are in the name of one who is not
ai partner in the house-, although the latter gets credit for uw u-
ing the property.
NVeari: not n'Aare that there is any member of lht? housd
worth tm u*y. Mr. Alexandtr Gordon is the partner in N.
Orleans. He left a broken house to join them and, like Mr
Witherby, of tire houee of MoKncux, Withcrbv A Co., hu
has the tact of getting into a new house as soon as he btuaki
an old cne*.
The Lizardis had a house in Paris, and ha v# biill 'eke in
Liveqiool and London. They werenhe agents to ckgbtiaitt
bonds for the Citizens' Bank, of New Orleans, for some tini#
and sold a large* lot to raise die w ind in 1637, under die li
mits prescribed by the statues of the State authorizing their
issue*. The liousb suffered severely by the criris of that
period, and refused to accent bills ofthe Citizens’ Bank when
they had the proceeds of tut* bonds in their hands. This is
one ofthe numerous examples of swindling, by which Suites
have L’een robbed by the fund mongers; and in law, equity
an J Louor. they entmo; be bound to redeem the bonds out of
which they have becu defrauded. They also recoivfe bills
that were remitted to them, pass'd them through the Bank
of England; and failed to apply thfe proceeds to the objects
for which the remittances were made.
They he’d n lirgfe affiohn oTSta't Bofcds ftif Ihh Citizens*
Bank, and < n a settlement with that institution, (which to
this day is a mystery to the b^k ridden citit'ena of the t?ugar
Start?) they became the purchasers of about a million and a
half of the bonds on a credit—payable in 1641, *42 aud ’-13?
Why they did not purchase these Louisiana bonds frotn
themselves on a credit of 5**, iustead of 5 or 6 year* is a
matter of surprise. This sale was utterly in violation bf the
laws of Louisiana, which do not ttfthit o’f a rale fcf ahy thing
but cash at par with 5 pter cent. Such credit safes an this,

T. C, Mscoflm.-—Thef# ia something in the character of
Nicholas Biddle, to explaiu which would rechirt* lit n»-
search and acumen ofthe most profound psychologist*, llitn*
^♦•lt bold, talented, chivalrous and lofty, l.e almost invariably
selects agci t-i to perfi rui that series of tricks and stratagem
which his false system of finance constantly called into re
quisition. ofthe very ’Opposite charactui istics. I’liancy, cun-
ning, arrogance, ami a facility in testifying to Bank state*
tnOnts. were therefore, recommendations to Mr. Magoffin fet
the employment of the great financier of Cheauul street. Jn
this gentleman’* history we have a tear sgecitneo of the wor
king of the paper system, iti advancing men to n’ace# of ereat
profit and consequcncO* whom nature moulded for the In;in
ble walks of life. There is such a total destitution of gctii
us, talent, or any highly d ini ugu if liable characteristic in
Mr. Magoffin, that we shall not trouble our reader* with his
early history, but paas onto hi* first apearam e in N-Orleans
lie was first known in the CrcM-ent City us a clerk *f the
United States Branch Bank. By degrees he advanced to
the L’iishiership of tiue Bank of Louisiana; whii.h office hs
resigned to assist in settling up the affairs ofthe unfortunate
and extravagant house, Hesnolds, Byrtie A Co., and as tf
hey were desirous that the creditor should receive as little
as possible of the a 12,000 per annum—was retained at the
astounding talary ofkscis. Mr. Msgoflin double the salary of
the Secretary of State of this creel republic! Any system
that enables a man of such caj>#vuv to gre^p so large a por
tion ofthe labor ofthe country tor bi. own consumption, must
be vicious in tlie extreme. In time, however, be proved to
1 be a dear servant, as there wett* several clerks in the b< use
atone tenth of his salary, who were much more highly en
dowed io learning, t uergv ami bw?im s* talent. The lions*
j got clear of him at the end of hi* encasement, but th« cmlb
J torshajl to suffer, for he drew hi* salary monthly.
As tlit representative o4 Mr. Biddle, Mr. Magoffin was
l elected President (at a *a’nrv of S2000 ■ year) of tlie Gas
! Bark, which is doing no business. The expense of this Bank
art over $35,000 per annum, for salarier, Ac. He is syndW*.
for the estates of Thomas Barer and other*, and he use# the
funds in his hands shaving paper nt from 2 twlO per cent per
month. But notwithstanding hi* facilities for clutching th*
spoils, he is t-aid never to have performed a gene on u# •« t
