Temos hoje de applicar este tratamento na pessoa de <em>Camillo +Castello Branco</em>, pela sua dupla qualidade de podridão physica e degradação +moral. Ha muitos annos que este galeriano se tornou o symbolo da torpeza de +costumes, da indignidade em todos os actos da sua vida, uma especie de cadaver +ambulante dentro do qual vomita corrupção um vampiro que exhala o asco da +sacristia, a atrocidade do covil, a vilania do alcouce, e a linguagem +desenfreada do açougue. A cara d'este monstro, ultraje da especie humana, +é a sua biographia; n'ella estão escriptos os vergões das chicotadas publicas +que tem levado, e ainda se vêem as manchas dos escarros de desprezo que tem +provocado. O amolecimento da espinha dorsal, a que a natureza o condemnou, é a +historia da crápula em que se tem revolvido; emfim o idiotismo de que se está +sentindo possuir arrasta-o para o abysmo da bestialidade d'onde nunca teria +sahido, se o caso de uma infamia o não trouxesse de guardador de cabras em +Villa Real para uma terra grande como o Porto, que o tem tollerado como uma +especie de cloaca maxima, como o sumidouro de todas as paixões abjectas que se +manifestam ás vezes em qualquer sociedade.</p> + +<p>A côr livida d'este miseravel que em França nem mesmo chegaria a ser +Cartucho, e na Italia seria engraxa-botas de Casanova, a sua côr livida +representa a alliança com o patibulo, se é que Camillo Castello Branco valesse +a ponta do baraço necessario para o enforcar. Elle não vale nem mesmo esse +pedaço de corda. Deixamos estes traços da sua physionomia; passemos a indicar +os mais caracteristicos episodios da sua negra epopêa de iniquidades: </p> + +<p>Quando Camillo Castello Branco guardava cabras em Villa Real, causou a ruina +de uma pobre rapariga filha de um taverneiro; o pae da criança chamou-o para +elle casar com a filha.</p> + +<p>Camillo acceitou a proposta com a condição de lhe dar o taverneiro um fato +novo e uma moeda. Recebido o ajuste, Camillo fugiu com o fato e o dinheiro para +a cidade do Porto, e aqui continuou o seu cyclo de immundas aventuras. Começou +desempenhando o papel de aprendiz de padre, recebendo apoio dos jornaes +miguelistas e tendo só em vista uma cousa—o rapinar alguns cobres ao bispo. +Padres e miguelistas achavam em Camillo um inspirado, capaz de ser um Ravailhac +ou um Jacques Clemente; mas o ex-guardador de cabras sacrificou todos os planos +dos seus protectores a uma só cousa que tem sido o movel de todas as suas +acções—comer e babujar. Com a raiva do asno que morde a albarda, Camillo +annullou a protecção d'estas duas influencias descompondo uns e outros. Foi +então quando se sentiu uma potencia, que tinha a força do mal para se fazer +temer.</p> + +<p>Explorou este novo esgoto que se lhe abriu na alma, e assentou banca de +descompostura por dinheiro: nas descomposturas que lhe pagaram contra a +consorte do conde de Bolhão, a par das libras tambem recebeu algumas moedas de +escarros na cara; nas descomposturas contra a snr.ª Brown, recebeu tambem +n'isso que de cara passou a ser lata, as publicas chicotadas vibradas por seu +filho Ricardo Brown.</p> + +<p>Os differentes romances obscenos que foi escrevendo eram uma +supporação d'esta necessidade de abocanhar; leram-se os romances para se +descobrirem os escandalos portuenses. Mas quando o publico se viu cançado +d'este desaforado histrião e os editores se não quizeram mais deixar roubar por +elle, Camillo Castello Branco lançou-se n'uma empreza nova: explorou uma mulher +casada que tivera a desgraça de ter perdido o senso moral com a leitura +frequente d'esses romances a que alludimos. Todos sabem o caso da morte do +infeliz marido, e como Camillo Castello Branco foi completar nas enxovias a +educação que encetou com as cabras em Villa Real.</p> + +<p>Da cadeia começou Camillo a abrir brecha para a rapina na casa Moré, +mandando ali mostrar um Romance de descompostura ao dignissimo procurador regio +que não lhe tolerou certas obscenidades no carcere; o amigo do procurador +regio, gerente da dita casa, teve de pagar o romance para poupar um desgosto ao +magistrado respeitavel. Ainda não ha muito tempo, que o snr. José Gomes +Monteiro se refugiu no nosso Escriptorio para evitar o encontro de Camillo na +loja Moré, que ia ali armar uma <em>escroquerie</em>, com o fim, dizia elle, de +pagar uma decima. Livre da cadeia, porque a lei quasi que não admitte prova no +adulterio, Camillo Castello Branco devorou então os bens d'essa infeliz +creatura do Senhor que arrastou á aversão publica. Depois de ter comido o +que pertencia á sua victima, viu o que ainda pertencia ao filho d'ella, cujos +rendimentos eram utitisados pela mãe, que, por não ter passado a segundas +nupcias, ficára com a administração d'esse resto: nada mais natural que armar +um cerco a este dinheiro.</p> + +<p>Em primeiro logar não casou com a mulher a quem devia uma reparação, para +ella não perder a administração do filho; e em segundo logar mandou agora a +criança para a Africa, na esperança d'elle alli morrer e então poder livremente +dispôr d'esse resto de dinheiro. Alerta snr. Curador geral dos orfãos. Por onde +quer que se olhe este monturo de crimes, que por ahi infecciona os áres por +todos os lados Camillo Castello Branco só mostra aspectos repugnantes; +ultimamente comprometteu a sorte de Vieira de Castro com a sua defeza; explorou +a desgraça do amigo com o drama o <em>Condemnado</em> que vendeu a dous +individuos; e por ultimo lucra ainda com a morte do homem de quem se diz amigo, +vendendo para o Brazil por 800$000 reis as cartas que esse desgraçado lhe +escreveu da Africa.</p> + +<p>Para Camillo Castello Branco as palavras honra, dever, amizade, são como as +particulas sacrosantas que tivessem cahido em poder de um macaco; privado do +minimo vislumbre de senso moral, a moralidade, a vergonha, o pudor são +para elle como as côres para um cego de nascença. Ultimamente aspirou a um +titulo de visconde, porque viu alguns negreiros e agiotas ornados com esse +distinctivo; elle por tanto achava-se com maior direito para se distinguir pelo +seu cynismo. Como alguem do paço se oppôz a que acabassem de degradar os +titulos nobiliarchicos, Camillo começou a insultar a Casa de Bragança. Mas como +hoje as suas diatribes sujas produzem o effeito contrario ao que elle mira, e +como já ninguem lhe pagava para pôr a sua penna ao serviço da calumnia, +ligou-se então com um francez devasso chamado Ernesto Chardron, para a +publicação de um cano de despejo intitulado <em>Insomnias de Camillo Castello +Branco</em>. Este snr. Chardron é aquelle que violou a casa de um seu +compatriota, raptando-lhe a mulher, e aquelle mesmo que estaria a estas horas +na cadeia, se o gerente da antiga casa Moré tivesse sellado as portas do +estabelecimento quando este aventureiro sahiu d'alli para traficar á vontade. +Os dois grilhetas acharam-se dignos um do outro; Chardron é o passador dos +latrocinios que o Camillo pratica sobre a honra dos que o desauthoraram perante +a honestidade. Ora n'este opusculo n.º 7 das <em>Insomnias de Camillo Castello +Branco</em>, com a sua auctoridade de juiz de enxovia, onde já residiu, diz que +eu lhe roubei o livro <em>Mosaico</em>, publicando-o contra a sua vontade. +Este homem, que tem recebido dinheiro por livros que nunca escreveu, +recebeu de nós 14 libras para escrever o <em>Mosaico</em>, e mais 9 libras por +outra comedella; quando nos viu com o livro em metade da impressão, julgou +ter-nos o pé no pescoço e exigiu mais dinheiro. Recusei-me a este logro e +exploração sordida, e para não perder o que já lhe tinha dado publiquei o livro +na altura em que já estava. Camillo fez-me um arresto, mas o Tribunal da +Relação em vista dos documentos de letra do proprio Camillo, mandou-me entregar +o que era minha propriedade, por Accordão de 31 de Agosto de 1868. O desgraçado +paria, porque um Accordão restabeleceu o meu direito, vem hoje chamar-me +ladrão. Não vamos aos tribunaes, porque Camillo Castello Branco manifesta já os +primeiros symptomas de demencia, e porque um elogio da sua bôcca seria a maior +affronta que podiamos receber. Camillo lembrando-se ainda do tempo em que +furtava os brincos ás criadas da casa onde morava, está agora com a monomania +de que todos o roubam; eil-o ora nos jornaes a accusar um garoto que o servia, +eil-o a restabelecer-lhe os creditos, dando a entender que fôra roubado pela +amazia e até pelo proprio filho! Eil-o contando as colheres de prata que +pertenceram ao marido da sua victima. Decididamente os amigos de Camillo têm +razão para caracterisar-lhe o estado de demencia. Este larapio das +livrarias dos fidalgos de provincia, empulhando-os com livros de hippiatrica, e +rindo da sua lorpice, este vendilhão acobertado com o pseudonymo de Jorge +Correia, tem a audacia da rameira, para chamar aos outros aquillo que o +distingue. Assim como Alexandre Herculano o pôz fóra de sua casa, a sociedade +devia expungil-o, ficando á conta do municipio o recompensar aquelle que lhe +deitasse a bóla.</p> + +<p>A nossa vingança está breve: ir-lhe-hemos regar a cova com o que elle sabe, +e temos a certeza que assim como se guardam os exemplares dos notaveis +aleijões, a memoria ominosa de Camillo Castello Branco hade conservar-se por +muito tempo na execração publica como uma das grandes aberrações moraes da +especie humana.</p> + +<p>N. B. Em vista dos factos que deixamos apontados Camillo Castello Branco +perdeu toda a imputação e auctoridade moral.</p> + +<p>Por isso, emquanto á accusação que nos fins de não termos pago a dois +escriptores os artigos que enviaram para a <em>Gazeta Litteraria</em>, temos +apenas a dizer ao publico: entregamos a Camillo, como era do contracto, o +dinheiro destinado, a esse fim, de que temos os devidos documentos.</p> + +<p>Porto, 22 de Julho de 1874.</p> + +<p style="text-align:right;"><em>Anselmo de Moraes.</em></p> +<hr> + +<p style="text-align:center; font-size: 0.8em;">Porto—Imprensa Portugueza.</p> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Supplemento ao n.º 7 das Insomnias de +Camillo Castello Branco, by Anselmo de Morais + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SUPPLEMENTO AO N.O 7 DAS INSOMNIAS *** + +***** This file should be named 27941-h.htm or 27941-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/2/7/9/4/27941/ + +Produced by Pedro Saborano (produced from scanned images +of public domain material from Google Book Search) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
