THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
SUNDAY, August 1. 1875.
Flogging as a Punishment for Crime—
The Virtues of the Lash.
Several of the Eastern and Western
States, whose criminal record is abso
lutely frightful and constantly on the
increase, affect a very pious horror of
the Delaware whipping post, and brand
that remarkably virtuous and moral
commonwealth as a “reproach to civili
zation.” It seems to us that mon
strous and defiant crime is the great
est reproach to civilization, and that
those communities in which immorality
goes virtually uncurbed, are false to
their duty. We have heard old United
States naval officers declare that the
crews of men-of-war had become de
moralized by the abolition of flogging
for gross offenses against discipline, and
recourse has been had to bucking and
gagging—a far worse punishment than
a moderate flogging —in order to
maintain order. Any punishment,
when carried to a merciless extreme, is
disgraceful and outrageous; but, when
judiciously applied and guarded
against excessive cruelty, we are in
clined to favor the administering of a
dose of cat-o’-nine-tails, just as they
do in Delaware, as an expiation of
flagrant offences. Of a certainty, if the
tree is to be judged by its fruits, the
result in Delaware has been beneficial
and salutary, and tho sanctimonious
howl which annually proceeds against
it comes, in part, from long-haired
fanatics who used to weep over the ne
gro in the South and never ceased
their agitation until the country was
drenched in blood, divested of a large
portion of its treasure, and utterly cor
rupted in social and political morals.
Wo are of opinion that if a majority of
men know that they would get a sound
chastisement, publicly inflicted, for ras
cally breaches of the law, they would
hesitate before committing crime. In
this way the lash acts not only as a cor
rective, but also as a preventive, and,
to that extent, is rather an instrument
of civilization instead of a reproach.
One of the more plausible arguments
against this mode of punishment is
that it degrades the victim of it. The
man who renders himself liable to this
flagellation has already degraded him
self, and it is a Pecksniffian refine
ment of argumentation to contend that
chronic offenders, made so by the
dodges of the law, are too good for the
only reformation likely to check their
progress to perdition.
In this connection, we learn from the
Baltimore Sun that “the Judges of
England have lately expressed them
selves so strongly in favor of restoring
this method of punishment that it is
considered extremely probable that
Parliament will extend the punishment
of the cat-o’-nine tails to a great many
different crimes for which the penalty
is now imprisonment and fine. Chief
Justice Cockburn, as might be expected,
is keen for laying on the lash. Justices
Blackburn, Mellor, Lush and Quin
orn unanimDiici ftnfi pinjihatic in their
experience of the deterrent effects of
flogging upon garroters and grievous
assaults with brutal injury to the per
son. Even Chief Justice Coleridge,
while opposing corporal punishment
on general principles, with more or
less show of reluctance, accepts
the view that “there are extreme cases
of cruelty and wickedness” which
justify the lash. Baron Pollock ad
mits that five circuits in the midland
and northern counties converted him
from an opponent to an advocate of
the “cat,” and Baron Bramwell goes
still further, saying: “I am by no
means sure that, if flogging were per
sisted in such cases, it would not have
a humanizing effect. I believe it would.
I believe that a crime branded in this
way by the reprobation of the law and
public opinion would soon become
odious.”
“The judges,, „however, are not
unanimous. Justice Denman opposes
the lex talionis on principle; Justice
Bkett says, to be logical, the flogging
should be administered at the cart’s
tail, in public, which would undoubtedly
be demoralizing, and Justice Keating
says that the real point is not how the
criminal acts before, but after he is
striped, that it is an unequal punish
ment ; it is not deterrent, since a man
once flogged is pretty sure to come up
again; and, Anally, that it is un
doubtedly a “retrograde practice,” a
step backwards in the march of
progress and civilization.
“It is singular enough that seventeen
out of twenty learned judges in Eng
land should not only approve of flog
ging as a punishment in certain cases,
but bo anxious to extend it to other
cases not embraced in the original
statute.”
It is not a pleasant thing to witness
the flogging of a fellow being, but
neither is it pleasant to have the laws
outraged with impunity. When we find
Delaware, with her whipping post, a
model State, and so many other com
monwealths, without that avenging in
strument, sunk into dominant disorder;
when the learned judges of England,
with an overwhelming approval, re
commend a return to corporal pun
ishment as a barrier to crime—it would
seem that, in spite of the sentimental
ists, there is a power for good in the
lash which the highest civilization may
well employ to preserve itself from ra
pine, insult and decay.
Norwood. —The New Orleans Times is
in ecstasies over Senator Norwood's
recent speech. It says he “ has struck
the centre of our political situation.
And when the new era does come there
is no man, within her borders, to whom
the South will be more indebted for
wise counsel and untiring zeal for her
interests, than Thomas Manson Nor
wood, of Georgia.”
Three hundred thousand dollars were
expended by the planters of Lafourche last
year for com alone. This year they will
have more corn than they will need.— N. O.
Times.
No doubt these Lafourche planters,
once upon a time, contended that they
could not make their own corn, and
that it was a better plan to raise all
cotton and buy food. We are glad that
Southern farmers, in some sections,
pre coming to their senses.
Duncan, Sherman & Cos. Again—The
Sham of a Great Firm.
As the days roll on, and the smoke
clears away, Duncan, Sherman & Cos. do
not, as the miners say, “pan out” very
handsomely. It has been well observed
that when bankers abandon their legi
timate business and become specula
tors they should be mistrusted. It is
not difficult to predict what their end
will be. The New York Star thus
speaks : “Although the firm of Dun
can, Sherman & Cos. was rated “Al’ in
the agencies, it was well known to well
informed circles that its actual capital
was limited to the comparatively small
sum of $750,000, while its transactions
in legitimate banking, and its opera
tions in outside speculations were sim
ply enormous. * * * The wide
spread disaster which will certainly
follow the failure will generally be at
tributed to causes which really had
nothing to do with it. Bankers who do
not speculate do not suspend. Brokers
who operate only for their customers
do not lose money. If Duncan, Sher
man & Cos. had confined themselves to
legitimate business their ponderous
doors would not be shut to-day, nor
would American credit have received
so staggering a blow.”
But the most serious aspect of the
case, outside of the transfers of prop
erty which may be plausibly explained,
is the fact that this house ha 1 been
issuing letters of credit and drawing
bills of exchange when the members of
the Arm must have known how hazard
ous an operation they were perform
ing. A foreign dispatch states that it is
believed that the firm’s letters of cred
it will be protected. We hope this may
prove true and thus serve to brush away
much of the suspicion attaching to the
good name of the broken bankers.
The Cincinnati Gazette pronounces
a fitting verdict upon the firm, thus :
•‘lt did business under false pretenses ,
entered upon desperate ventures at the
risk of other people, and finally sus
pended when advised by cable of the
loss of its London credit. The com
mercial and financial atmosphere will
be all the better for this occurrence.
“The mystery about the concern is
that, although largely insolvent and up
to its eyes in cotton speculations, it
could have managed to maintain a
very good credit up to the last hour.
But Ludlow, who wrecked the Ohio
Life and Trust [Company, was equally
successful in that line.”
And now the next thing to consider
is : How many more dazzling shams
are there in New York and other com
mercial centres ? If the public reports
of the newspapers are to be credited’
commercial honor is at a very low ebb
In all parts of this country, and espe
cially so in the land of “Puts, Cal's and
Straddles.”
Gov. Chamberlain—An Absentee Who
Had Better Return.
We have never taken much, if any,
stock in Gov. Chamberlain, of South
Carolina. It is needless to repeat the
reasons governing us in this matter,
nut recern events nave made them
much more formidable. A carpet-bag
ger who helped to heap infamy on
South Carolina may, when satiated
with his effort and comfortably fixed,
offered to play at reform, but all such
experiments might as well be taken
with several bushels of salt, instead of
the grain prescribed for ordinary
mortals. The Anderson Intelligencer,
one of the ablest, most honest and in
fluential of the country press of the
South, always had misgivings of the
genuineness of Mr. Chamberlain’s con
version, and boldly proclaimed that
fact. Against this intrepid conduct,
a large majority of South Carolina
journals protested; but the circum
stantial evidence now is that the peo
ple of the Palmetto State have no
purer, better and more intelligent cham
pion than the Intelligencer. We quote
from this high-toned paper :
What has become of Governor Cham
berlain ? Ilis absence from the State at
this juncture of affairs is not entirely com
patible with that inflexible devotion to the
duties of his office which he can so glibly
declare in smoothly-worded messages and
letters. More than a month has elapsed
since he went aw r ay to instruct Ihe youth
of Connecticut, and he must have ceased to
study the financial problem now afflicting
the people of South Carolina. The Parker
trial, in its various phases, and the fail
ure of Hardy Solomon’s banking
institution are subjects for his pro
found contemplation; yet he is miss
ing it all. His faithful organ grinds
the right tune, however, and de
clares that “substantial justice” is being
meted out to Republican ex-officials. We
fail to perceive that punishment has fol
lowed malfeasance in office, and that “the
party” has pursued the culprits with any
great vigor. It may be that we are “entire
ly partisan,” yet it does seem that Leslie
is still defiant, that Parker is in a fair way
to be released from confinement, and that
the rogues of the past are practically
shielded by the present administration. It
is a lame and miserable farce! The real
work of bringing public robbers to justice
has not yet begun in South Carolina.
The Abbeville Medium also wants to
know why the Governor tarries at Cape
Cod, when he is so pressingly needed
at home. Riding a centennial hobby at
Yale College will not make amends for
Hardy Solomon’s fiasco, and bumming
at the seaside, while the verdict of the
Parker jury is still remembered, does
not look so charmingly.
The Medium does not charge that
Chamberlain is guilty, but the tenor of
its article is:
“Governor, dear Governor, come home !’•
Answering the prevailing conundrum,
the Greenville News, a plucky sheet
edited by a Georgian, says : “ Where is
“he ? Why, prowling around with the
“ great Yankee nation of Radicals,
“ carrying the * leading Democratic pa
“ pers of South Carolina ’ In one hand
“ and a history of Radical successes in
“ the State in the other, and by the
“ first proving his popularity with the
“ good people of South Carolina, and
“ by the second showing that the Radi
“ cals have cleaned out the State and
“ now hold it under the iron heel.”
We have mainly allowed the South
Carolina press to speak for itself. The
upshot of the whole matter seems to
be that Chamberlain is under a cloud ;
that some of his enthusiastic Demo
cratic admirers are getting weak
kneed on the subject; and that if ever
a man and Governor ought to be at
his post, D. H. Chamberlain is the in
dividual in question.
A Fast Age—Conundrums Answered.
Alluding to recent supposed discov
eries, the New York Herald says:
If this kind of thing is to go on anew
pang will be added to death; for no rea
sonably intelligent person will wi-h to
leave this world just as the means of loco
motion and for the transmission of intelli
gence, as well as the conveniences and com
forts of life, are to be so greatly and re
markably increased. But when t he Schroe
der air ship takes good Bostonians to
Paris in six hours and the Keely motor
propels ordinary freight trains at the rate
of one hundred and twenty miles an hour;
when a single telegraph wire can be used
by a dozen or twenty people at once; when
the oxygen light drives even petroleum
out of use and ruins the gas companies;
when every man may hatch his own
chickens with the help of electricity, and
perhaps cook them by tho aid of condensed
sun’s rays, what will be left for the Gran
gers to do?
The Grangers can still meet and
have their barbecues. Nay, they can
better gather together by means of
tho air-ship or the Keely motor, send
messages to all brethren at cheap
rates, carry illuminating material in a
shirt stud, live on fried chicken, instead
of bacon, and boast that everything
was old fogyish until they put in a
long pole and stirred up stagnant mo
nopolies.
Gordon.— General Gordon has been
making a speech in Alabama. Among
other things he said that as an excuse
for the perpetration of many of the
outrages which had been heaped upon
the people of the South the Radi
cals gave out that we were disloyal—
and, pray, disloyal to what ? To the
Radical party ! —to wrong and opposi
tion —to corruption in high places—to
robbery and plunder! Aye, to be loy
al now one must not only believe Grant
to be a statesman and Beast Butler an
honest man, but that Henry Ward
Beecher is an innocent,persecuted saint.
Young America.— Somebody writing
from the Springs says “the young men
spend more money than the million
aires. They pay fifty cents a drink at
the hotel bar, order wine for dinner,
hire carriages, eat soft shell crabs, and
after a few days, go home dead broke.”
Do they rob their employers to get so
much money; or are these the kind of
persons who receive large salaries
while better men grind their lives out
unappreciated and unpaid ?
Don’t Like It. —The Columbia Union-
Herald does not like to take doses of
New York Day Book. If the editor of
the Union-Herald had taken kindly to
that kind of physic we should have ad
vised Messrs. Van Eyrie & Cos. to shut
up shop.
Theodore. —Mr. Tilton is writing a
novel and has more lecture engage,
ments than he can possibly fulfill.
