Contimted from the Birth Paje. nendfld riffhtlv th .v.tikm it Pnnnavl vHnlt airm- iatlon on ihn object, and IU bearing upon the iUfstlons that are presented In the discussion of this cnee.lt is to make local roads parts of one 'Teat Ui rough route. It is to provide not only that these local roads may be made very valuable to" Jhelr own districts, but tbat they may be also feed rrs to or form part of a continuous route. It was '9 accomplish this that they were allowed to con feot. You have this magnificent section of conn ry, considered agriculturally or In regard to it nineral wealth, opened in this way, and by means i'vf these connections forming apart of this great brough route. . , Where Is the harm in all this? Yet it Is charged Jgalost this company as a crime tbat It has picked lip a few local charters and made connections. ,-Vhy Uiat is just what the Legislature has been oiling the oommnnliy ever since 1847 tbat they wanted it to do. We want not a few small roads, icting without co-operation, but wrangling with sen other and cutting each other's throats. We want you to unite, and wherever you touch to orm one continuous road, and In doing that do two hings develop your local trafflo and Interests, md also feed the great seaboard city of Phlladel. hia on one side, and the great manufacturing city f Pittsburg on the other, each on a navigable lver, the terrainous of continuous routes. This is i great policy, and It rather remarkable tbat we dould be called upon here to answer a charge Stiade direotly against us, and indirectly against ibe Legislature of Y ennsylvnla, for devising this ystem. , We answer this charge that we bave need, and intend to use, these local roads where they are Adapted to the purpose of connecting, and by con necting form tins through, route, l cannot imagine mything more belittling as well as absurd, than bat you are to fly in the tace of the settled policy if the State begun in 1817, and steadily pursued lown to the present hour, their Idea being to aboU Kb private roads and form great arteries of con nection throughout the whole commonwealth and jwith other States. I cannot imagine anything nore absurd than to charge this as a sin against he Atlantic and Great Western Railway Corn. iiany. And why do they do It! uecause tne com plainants in the corporation bill tear that their in terests may be bnrt. The great feature of the ar i'ument is, and it amonnts to just this, that the rest Ait Pennsylvania must be shut up, hermetically aied, in order mat tne 1'ennsyivania iiaiiroau ftuay reap better harvests. I am not afraid of raeet- ng tbat argument in any place, nor am i airaiu oi neeting it because the city of Philadelphia is a arge stockholder in tbat company. X do not fear tbat the city ol rniiaaeipiiia wu utter because, by means of this central Pennsyl- vania route, inurmedtauj between the Philadel phia and Erie on the north, and the Pennsylvania (tail road on the south, she is to have poured Into lerlapall the treasures of the great west by a hrough connection with it. What is the Atlantic ana threat western iiiu- ay't It Is peculiar in its geographical position. It is not an east and west road, it is not a north ,ind south road; it unites the advantages of both, lor It is northeastern and southwestern, and, 'herefore, you must see at a glance that It strikes ill the roads of the west seventeen of thera, as I im told, and greatroads all of them. And It Is be cause the Philadelphia and Ueading Railroad Uompany wants to bring to Philadelphia, in the way 1 have shown you, bv this great route, all the traificof tbat road and all the united business of . those seventeen roads that feed it, carrying it out I to the Mississippi river it is because they want to do this that the Pennsylvania Railroad comes here into Court and says you shall be preveuted from entering into tbib contract. This is the argument, and this is the tlatut of the Pennsylvania Railroad. But who made the Penn sylvania Railroad the keeper of the policy of the iState of Pennsylvania! Who authorised that Icompany to set its face against the policy ot bring, ling to the city of Philadelphia all the trafUc from the west, because it Is done by means or a contin uous route, established, as I show you, so as to bring Immediately and directly all this great business to Philadelphia, although without the consent of the Pennsylvania Railroad I Have they so zealously contended for the interests of Philadelphia as to be entitled to place them selves to-day here upon a pedestal, and from that eminence dictate what shall be the policy of other (companies? Have they so carefully discriminated in favor ot jriiuadptpnia against new xora ana other seaboard points in their rates of freight, as to be the arbiters or this policy ! xou win be surprised, sir, to learn that where they have discriminated, it has been in favor of the tcity of New York. You will be as surprised, as I was wben 1 learned, a few days ago, that in vio lation, not only of their alleged policy, but in vio lation of the very contract made with the Legisla. tnre in 1801, when, by its grace and favor, they procured the abolition of the tonnage duties, and uromised that they never would discriminate againBt Philadelphia, they had, by their scale of charges, discriminated against this city. Your f.Honor may well be surprised to learn that at this (Dl J Uaj tin J vll. J v. "..go .uo riiiuu nil vu.i. freight from points in the west to Philadelphia that they do to New York, though the distance Is ninety miles greater. In some cases they charge actually less to the city of New York than they do to the city of Philadelphia. How is It then, jealons guardians of the interests of the city of Philadelphia, that in order to show your zeal for the city of Philadelphia, you charge as much and even more lor the carriage oi goods to the city of Philadelphia than you charge for goods from the same point in the west to the city of New York. They have wilfully disregarded the plainest dic tates of what the policy of our State was, and the plainest provisions ot direct law as asserted by the act of 1861, and yet they pretend to say that the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad bag endea. vored to deceive the citizens of this community, and bane attempted to dellect trade from Philadel phia, wben we bave shown that it is the earnest desire ot this company, in entering npon the con tract of the loth of January, lbtifl, to make Phila delphia the gaining point, by giving it the advan tage of its greater proximity to the great west and Its trade, an advantage which it must ever preserve over the city of New York. Mr. Ouyler did ill, when he apostrophized one of my colleagues, re cently at the head of the government of tbls city, who, be said, bad been untrue to Philadelphia, and who, be said, made his appearance for the first time in a court of justice, after a long professional absence, In a case against 'the interests of the city of Philadelphia. I say, sir, that if that gentleman had earnestly tried how he could best show his devotion to this city, he could not bave done It in a more thorough and complete way than by standing on this Hour and advocating before this Court the great value of the contract made between the Philadelphia and Reading, the East Pennsylvania and the Atlantic and Great Western Railway, by which all this enormous trallla is brought to our doors. Unless we set our faces resolutely against what is ottered to us by tbese contracting parties, and Bay that we will not receive it, his action needs no vindication. w Tbat printed contract is a more powerful and 1 ...... .1 . . ., t . .x.. -Kan AUn full . V . . I ilM any man. Now, sir, I may say here, Philadelphia may pur sue one of two policies. She may either liberally take and freely avail herself of the great advanta ges ottered to ber by this connection; or she may sit perfectly still, wib her arms folded, waiting for Providence to help her. I would like to know which course will prove the most prohtdble. She may take advantage of the great privileges award ed to ber by this enterprise, or she may sit idle and Indifferent, with this six feet gauge road as an es tablished route to New York by way of Salamanca, Tunning, as your Honor knows, from St. Louis to Mew York, and lose all the traffic these connecting roads have ottered to her in this way. So much for tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company and its moral position in this place.- Hut what legal right bave they to raise their TOlce in this case except to pay tbat the provisions of tbe contract, make in lt-tto, between the Phila delphia and Erie (which is the Pennsylvania Rail road now) and tne Catawissa, ought not to be ex tended to the Atlantic and Qreat Western Rail wav i They Ihave no more right to open their mouths, except npon this question, than the roost indifferent person in the community. On that question they have a right, at some time, to be heard, bat that question does not arise now. If it be us they ray, that tbe alliance of tbe Catawissa Railroad and tbe Atlantic and Qreat Western Railway, thus enabling tbls magnificent con tlnuous route to be formed, does not carry with it the right to the otriract of lnno with the Sunbury and Erie UBjapany, we taae u suojeci wj ou leutmn. If we cannot use this contract let it be so, out it does not Interfere with tbe connection of tbe roads, and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company hri therefore no right to interfere in the matter. Tbey, tbemelves, have given ns their own opinion as to this; for while they filed their bill on Decem ber 7, le5, in tbe interval between tbat day and Decunber 25 they came to think tbat tbey had no m nonnnv this noaitlon. and then they tiled the Stockholders' Bill, as It is called, and depend npon that to prevent the completion Ot this cm- M,CilI nraathinir now to sav as to this stock holders' bill; for there is evidence apparent ou its face of the coalition and collusion between tbe - . . . . . 1 i , a . 1 K.iu it I 111 iin olalntln in U aua ma i'enusyivnui vmi.u.... r.n u,nri of iuitv will always lrowi unon any attempt, such as tbat set up by this bill, to interfere in a controversy, when fealty there Is no Intention ot vindicating the rights of a stock-.-.,..... .nnh hut a n ii r nose to subserve the in terests of another aud rival company. There are some features in this stockholders' bill to which 1 THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, will refer briefly, andfthen apply the law to It, In tbe first place it is presented and tiled by the same counsel wbo filed Ue Pennsylvania Railroad Com pnny's bill, Mr. Onyler and Mr. (lihuons. It Is Hied against the Atlantic nnd Oreat Western Rail rosd Company, of Ohio, New York and Pennsyl vania, which company the plaintiff says he is a stockholder, and that la a second point. It says that the Atlantic and Oreat Western Rs.il road Company, the Western Central and Cata wissa Railroad Companies, with a view of form ing a line of road to be a great through line, and therefore in opposition to the Philadelphia aud Erie, by which it will deflect the trade of tbe western Suites from Philadelphia to New York, bave entered Into this contract, an averment Iden tical In terms with the corporation bill. It goes on to say tbat by reason of this contract the charter of tbe Atlantic and Oreat Western Railroad Com pany has become Imperiled, and, Anally, tbat Ibe Atlantic and Oreat Western Railroad Company, being tbe proprietor of a six feet gauge road, can not make a connection with the Philadelphia and Erie or a road connecting with the Catawissa, w here the roads are all ot a tour feet eight-and-a hall-inch gauge. It is, as my friend Mr. Cuvler said, ibe same bill; but, unfortunately for their argument, Mr. Scott cannot occupy tbe same po sition as the Pennsylvania Railroad or Philadel phia and Erie Railroad In this controversy I would like to ask my friends, wben tbey In the outset of tbls case called the attention of the Atlan tic and Oreat Western RallroadCompany to the faot that ibey were going to argue that that company had no right to act as a corporation, whether they made tbat assertion as tbe counsel of tbe Pennsyl vania Railroad Company or as tbe counsel of Andrew Scott Such a position would be a little anomalous, a little extraordinary In gentlemen re presenting, as tbey say, a stockholder, not in the old company; because tbe momeut it was suggest, ed that it was the old company they brought forth certificates to prove tbat be bad the right to be In the new company. It is certainly extraordinary that a stockholder in the consolidated company should come into this Court and ask it to say that this company bnsno existence. Now, is it as tbe coui'ff 1 of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, or as the counsel of Mr. Scott, that they makrf the argument) No doubt there will be a plausible ar gument to show that the two positions are per fectly consistent; but I hardly think that a party really interested In the Atlantic and Oreat Western Railway Company would get np here and gravely contend that tbe company had no existence what ever as a consolidated company. Then they use an argument still more extraordi nary. They say that the Atlantic aud Oreat Western Company, in order to be a great through lire in opposition to the Philadelphia and Erie, will deflect trade from this city. Now, 1 would like to know, 1 feel curious to know, how U is a stockholder In tbe Atlantic and Oreat Western Consolidated Company is to be injured by the run ning of a great through rival line deflecting trade from the Philadelphia and Erie and Pennsy lvtmla Railroads or from this city I I always had sup posed, looking to the language of the decisions of the Courts both in England and this country, that the claim of a stockholder, and the sole claim that could give him a right to be heard In a Court, was a rigbtto get as high dividends ss possible. I sup posed that by the establishment of a continuous line of road by which the trnfllo would be Im proved on that road of which he Is a part, and by which greater dividends could be pat in his pocket, be would be benefited and not Injured. I leave the counsel to explain how this would be Injurious to the interests of Andrew Scott! They will find it dlllicult to answer. I would like It to lie shown by tbe counsel of Andrew Scott if, by a connection between this four lee' eight uud a bait inch gauge road and tills six feet gauge road, all this traflic could be brought over his road, and the result put into bis pocket in the shape of dividends, how he would be injured! I shall, therefore, and without much tear ot successful con traiiicton, alflrm that Mr. Andrew Scott's bill is utliam; that it Is simply auxiliary to the bill of the Pennsylvania Railroad; that he cannot have any independent status In this Court. 1 am per fectly aware that it is the right of a stockholder, w hen he comes into Court bona fide asserting that a corporation in which heowns stock has onfoota scheme that is ultra vires, and avers that he may be injured thereby, to have the matter adjudicated. Hut I contend that the moment the Court sees that he is not upon this independent footing, and that his bill is tiled by him in aid of a rival company, bis mouth is closed, and the Court will not listen to turn. I will take the very latest decisions of the highest conrtB of judicature, and 1 say, If your Honor thinks, as I do not believe you can fail to think, that this man has a greater interest or a dif ferent interest in a rival company than he has in the Atlantic and Oreat Western Railway Com pany, in which be claims to be a stockholder, then the law is settled against his bill. Prom the incon sistent averments of this bill, as compared with the averments of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, your Honor's decision will b mi ined. And the moment yon urn convinced that this man, owr.ing thirty or twelve shares In the Atlantic and tl rent Western Railway Company I don't know which, lor In his affidavit he says he has twelve shares, and In his printed bill thirty share but whether having a greater or lens number ot shares, that he has a greater or different interest In a rival company, the moment you are convinced of this, 1 submit he cannot have a bearing here. I In ten) to refer to a lew decisions lu support ot this position, lint nrst i will notice, in a rapid way, the decisions cited on the othef side. My col leagues and I have looked Into thcin all, and we agree that they do not sustaiu the positions set up by the plaintiffs. The first was River nam navi gation Company vs. the North Midland Rail way Company 1 English Railway Cases, pae 114. It bus nothing to do with the cae of a stockholder's bill. It was a bill riled by the River Navigation Company to prevent a trespass alleged to be caused by the other party. The next citation Is waiford on Railways. It is in court now, and It sustains the general position, undoubteuly, but Is inappli cable to tbe present case. Tbe next case is Bagshaw vs. Eastern Railway Company, 6 English Railway Ctises, page ll'J, to the same ellecl. 1 be next case Is Ware vs. Orand Junction Water Works, 2 Russ. and Myln., page 401, and it is rather in our favor, certainly not againBt us, because the Injunction was not granted at the suit of a shareholder, who tiled a bill to pre vent tbe company from applying tor an act of parliament to procure an increase of power. The Chancellor there says: "I can see nothing in the nature of a corporate body of this description to prevent that body from so dealing with Itself, and asking for such an extension or variation of its constitution." The two cases of Munt vs. Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Company, 3 Law and Eq. Rep., p. 144, and Coleman vs. Eastern Counties Railway Company, 4 Eng. Railway cases, p. 3H2, seem to sustain the right of a stockholder to file such a bill; but these cases are at variance with later cases in tbts same Courts, and more thoroughly consid ered, one of them, decided by the' late Lord Chan cellor in a uourtoi the last resort. The sain re mark may be applid to Beamun vs. Ruit'ord, 0 Law and rJq. iep., p, no. The case of the Columbus and Peqna Railroad Company vs. Indiana and Iielletoute Railroad Company, 5 McLean's Rep., p. 450, is altogether different. These two companies entered into a contract by which they agreed to haveacoutlnu ous line formed by each company, by means of roads of exactly tne same gauge, line ot tbe com paries departed from the agreement, and tried to change Its gauge. A bill was tiled against it to prevent this being done, and It was ruled that tbe true construction ot the contract prevented such a cbange of gauge. You will flud that is the sole point decided. I speak now from having read tbe case last night. On the construction of charters and acts of Assembly our learned opponents have cited a number of cases. The Charles River Bridge Company case, In 11 Peters, doesfnot come witnm a mile o: tnis case. There was an old bridge over the Charles river, and another company obtained a charter to build a bridge over the same river. The old company thought there could be but one bridge over tbe Charles river, and filed a bill in equity to prevent tne new company constructing a secona. i nn case was argued before the Supreme Court of tbe United states, ana uniei j ustice Taney delivered the opi nion of the Court, in which It was decided that there was no prescriptive right by which the Charles river was assigned for all time to the Charles River Bridge Com nan v. nhat tbeconve ulence of the public might demand that another bridge should be ouut,) and tbat it could be built. Judge Story dissented, but I am justified in say ing mat tne, opinion oi me prolusion has always been against Judge Story, aud with Chief Justice Taney. , The next case, and thre are several from Penn sy I van la, is upon the construction of powers of corporations, i neea not say, as iney ao not touch this question, mat undoubtedly a corporation can not act unless it Is authorized to act. That is all that can be said about these cases. Moll vi (as 1'enn. lytvania Kailroad Company, 6 Casey, page 9, is Ira portaut, and Is decisive of this application for a preliminary injunction in the stockholders' bill. It is there held tbat while Mr. Mott did well in buying shares in the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany, making himself a shareholder to test the question, yet that, as a dissenting stockholder, the whole court was ox opinion that he was not en titled to a preliminary injunction. Mr. Scott, under the last section of that act of consolidation of the 24 111 of lYlarvh, l-(i?, if tie was not pleHsed with the consolidation of the dimpa nies and the protect to form continuous routes 1 through other Stales as well as Pennsylvania, tied his right of fpM within thirty days, to a uonri oi common fleas in urawrord nr Erie coun ties. By Ibis proceeding bis stock wonld have been ppralsed by disinterested parties, and redeemed by the company, and the remedy aQorded by the act Is fnll and complete. His case Is precisely analogous to Dir. Aloti's in this respeot. He could bave got par for bis Bbaree the moment he asked for it, but be did not choose to take it. He cannot, therefore, succeed In his preliminary application. i ne case oi jnonawa unoge uompany vs. Utlca nd Schenectady Railroad, il Am. Railway Cases. fi7l), has no relevancy to this case at all. So much for the authorities presented by onr op ponents. 1 wish now to refer to some cases we bave collected on this vital point, which will es tablish whether we are right or not in the view we take of Mr. Scott's bill. Tbey are all Interesting, and bear directly on the facts of this case. The first case I shall cite Is that of Flocks vs. Southwestern Railway Comnanv. 1st Smale and Oiflard, 102, decided In IBM by V. O. Stuart, and reported also in 19 Law and Equity Rep., p. 7. i us juogmrm oi toe uourt in tnis case contains very elaborate view of the dill'erence between private corporations and corporations for pub ic undertakings involving rubllo inierests and public duties; and it Is there said that the principle lhat the majority cannot bind the minority as to acts not wlililn the common contraot has not been applied to corporations for public undertakings, Involving publio Interests, for which 13 Beavan, 4H, is cited. This was aleo Lord Cottenham's judg ment when he was Chancellor. But I wish lo refer vou lo tbat part of the casein which it is held that where a bill is tiled by a stock holder in the Interests of a rival comnanv, the Court will r)ot interfere. You will find this laid own on pages 107 aud 163 of the report. The next case I cite is Roeers vs. Oxford. Wol verhampton and Worcester Company, it He Oex fc tones, on?, decided In lb58, by L.ords Justices Knight lirnce and Tnrner, assisted bv Mr. Justice Erie. On page 674 of the report, you will find the mphatic wonts ot Lord Justice Knight Bruce against the duty of a court of equity to assist a tockboider who is playing into tbe hands of a Ival company. Next Is'the case of Hare vs. Lon don and Northwestern Rnilway Company, 2 .Tohn- on ec lieitiin, p. mi, ilecidd by Sir W. Pace Wood in June, IWI1. The main point decided is that two companies may agree to divide their profits, con firming Lord Cottouham's view on this subject. It is an Interesting case, and I will read a little from It. Alter considering that Interesting point with which your Honor is famtlar, and which had been previously decided by Lord Cottenbam, as to the dlilereuce between tne rights of a private and a public corporation, going over all the decisions, pud showing bow common law judges agreed with Lord Cottenham, and how the weight of decisions was in his favor, on pages 111, 112, ho considers the position of a shareholder, and shows tbat bis inteiest is to gain the largest possible amdunt of profit. He then expresses his inclination (on page Hit) 'o act upon tbe views expressed by Lord Jus- tics Knight Bruce, in the case above cited, in re gard to a etockhloder filing a bill In the interest of a rival company, and proceeds to decide tbe cause. still later, in tne case or orrest vs. Manchester Railway Company, 3(1 Beavnn, 40, the decree of he master of tne Rolls was amrmed by the Lord Chancellor, in July. 1WS1, on the grounds that the aintill, a stockholder, did not bona fide represent he slinrt holders of the railway company, but was he pnppet of the rival packet company. See note on paire 48 of the report. How sirougiy does this apply to Mr. Scott's bill. He contends, poor, Injured man, thut he Is dam nge d by tho increase of the traffic of the road of wnicn ne is u stockholder, and seeks to restrain the completion of a contract which will produce such a result. Now, here yon have, as late ns July, the decision of the late learned Lord Chancellor on this ground alone, that courts will not counte nance any such attempt as this made here to-day, where a man who does not, bona fide, file his hill us a stockholder, or who could go out of a company without being hurt at all, comes into Court with a statement, which on its face shows that it is n thum, complaining of what Sir Wm. Page Wood says is not ordinarily the complaint of sharehold ers, the probable increase ol trartlc ou the road in which he says he is interested. He is manifestly but a puppet in the hands of others who are com petitors of th road. l do not think tne court win be able to reconcile the statements put forth by tho gentlemen on the other side, who say to us, "You are a company under the stockholders' bill, nnd not a company under the company's bill. I do not think yon will he able to reconcile the statements of the two bills, in which, on the one band, n stockholder complains cf what Is manifestly beneficial to him, in aid of a complaint set up on tbe other hand, In the bill tiled by the compunies, of injury caused to them by the self same acts. I do not think the wit of man can reconcile such inconsistencies, and it only proves bow bald and destitute of merit must tbls case tie wben it cannot even be presented lu a court of justice with a decent covering npon it, and when its nakedness and grotesque deformities peep out through the lll-n'ting garments with which it is attempted to conceal them. I have now, sir, just as I am about closing my remarks, bad handed to me a printed circular of a prominent business firm of this city, which I will hereafter present in the shape of an allidavit. Mr. Biddle here read the business circular ot Miller & Co. What a commentary upon the position of the companies w ho set themselves up as parties com plainant in this case, wben we find our own citi zens leaving Philadelphia to transfer tboir busi ness to New York, alleging us one of the reasons for the charge that freights are cheaper to 'he west from New York viu the Pennsylvania Railroad than they are from the city of Philadelphia. And yet tins is the company which comes into Court to ask to real rain the compaction of the contraot between the catawissa Railroad Company and tne Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, under the pretence tnat by means tnereot trade will be de llecttd from the city of Philadelphia. 1 bnve now presented to the Court tne united views ol my colleagues and myself upon the vari ous points raised upon the bills and allidaviu, and I trust made It apparent tliat no preliminary in junction, as asked lor, can be granted to the com. piuinants in eitner bill: ana that tnere is not tne least ground to ask the interference of a Court of Equity in the manner in which it is sought to be obtained in the cases now bPfore the Court. Thanking your Honor for the attention with which vou have listened to me in a somewhat pro tracted discussion of the case, I leave it, so far as the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company and tbe East Pennsylvania Railroad Company are concerned, in your hands.
