THE DAILY fiVRrasm TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, Fill Da r, MAT 2C, 1871 TO WN AND CO UNTR T, Wrtm tht Pall Mall Garttte. It becomes increasingly evident that among many civilized nations there will be in the future a distinction of class even more im portant than the old difference between gentle and simple, or between rich and poor the distinction between town and country. Like many other things English, we have recog nized it without becoming more than half conscious of it; the political suffrage in our towns differs wholly from the political suffrage in the counties, and the method of adminis tration, however it may work prao'ioally, is as different in principle as freedom from des potism. If Mr. Qoschen's proposed county financial boards are established, they will be the first distinct example of the invasion of the country in England by the principles of the towns. The terrible contest going on round raris, whatever were the intentions of those who began it, has resolved itself into a strag gle between town and country, and proceeds upon the denial by one side of the political doctrine which the French were supposed to have founded on the one political sentiment retained by them amid the wreck of their in stitutions the passion for compact national unity. The American phenomena which point in the same direction are not so well known in this country, and yet it would not be too much to say that the single city of New York is at this moment threatening to falsify every one of the principles which underlie Anieriean institutions. The early eulogists of American democracy were accustomed to assert that the United States had a sufficient security against the dangers which had elsewhere proved fatal to experiments of the same kind in the univer sal extension of local government. The se cret of the political success of the Americans, said De Tocqueville, was the complete organi zation of the township. All large circum scriptions the United States, the several States, the counties were only multiplica tions of the township, and whatever was dis tinctive of the township was distinctive also of the collected townships. If this account of the American system had remained true, that system would now be a great example of the predominance of the country over the towns. We do not say that the exact con trary of this has actually occurred, but it is the fact that numbers of intelligent Americans have persuaded themselves it is on the point of occurring. They declare that influences, beginning in the city of New York, are threatening to spread themselves' over the whole of the country. There are few Eng lishmen who have not heard of the present administration of the Erie Iiailway as a per manent swindle; but very few have as yet recognized that the seizure of this great undertaking by its present directors was both in itself and in its consequences one of the most extraordinary events of our day, and one worthy even of diverting attention from the stupendous drama which has been en acted since last July on the European conti nent. The history of the Erie transactions began in the occupation of a board-room by a hired mob in the pay of the speculators whose names have become almost famous through their association with these occurrences. The invasion of the offices of the North western llailway Company by a crowd of fast stock-jobbers accustomed to "bonnet" strangers on the Exchange would be a very scandalous event in England; but the powers which would at once rouse themselves to punish or put an end to it would act so effectually as very shortly to leave nothing remaining but the memory of a scandal, lint the invaders of Erie held their ground as confidently and as securely as a Parisian mob which in ordi nary times has occupied the Tuileries and the Legislative Chamber. They obtained the com mand of the receipts brought in by the traffic, and they appear to have possessed themselves of a still more important power in the facili ties which the ostensible direction of the company afforded them of issuing fresh stock of a kind which, however discredited in the market, has always retained some speculative value. It is admitted on all sides that it is the command thus secured over many mil lions of dollars which has enabled them to defy every attack made on them in the interests of civil justice. They had to fear the civil tribunals; with us, it would not have taken a week to dispossess them nnder an in junction of the Court of Chancery. But it is openly stated that they have bought over the two judges who exercise more immediate jurisdiction over the scene of their violence and fraud. They had to fear the powerful municipal corporation of New York, whioh has the police at its command. But it is scarcely denied that the prinoipal members of the corporation are now sharing in the plun der of the railway company. After all pre cautions had been taken they had to fear the Legislature. We need not hesitate to say Parliament in this country would have post poned everything else to the suppression of this public outrage. But the Erie speculators have bribed a majority of members of the State Legislature of New York, which has actually passed a measure to give a colors of legality to the seizure of the railway, and de clines to repeal it. And now it is publioly affirmed that the Erie directors, the man agers of the New York corporation, and the leaders of the parliamentary majority have combined for further operations; that the re ceipts of the railway traffic and the pro ceeds of local taxation, nnder a measure now before the Legislature, are to be fused, and a vast fund thus formed for corruption which will ultimately extend much beyond the limits f the State of New York. Although a meeting has recently been held in New York to give expression to the publio indignation which is said to be felt some where, the language of most Americans on the subject is that of humorous despair. The excuses which they sometimes offer do not appear to us greatly to the point. They allege that New York is not a fair sample of the United States, since it is in the main an Irish city. The retort is better than the argument, for the Irishmen in New York do not, after all, form quite a third of the population; and even if they did the great peril does not lie in the corruptibility of New York, but in the susceptibility of places and persons beyond New York to corrupt New York influences. Occasionally Americans tell us that the new power which is destroyiug them is the power of great joint-stock cor porations, which, being unkaown when the foundations of the American political sys tem were laid, could not have been provided against. It seems to us, however, that the really startling part of the matter is not the influence of a great railway company, bat the fact that this influence can be suddenly seized by a city mob and retained and used for th worst private and publio objects by the men. who hired the mob. It is not the mere exist ence of the railway company, but the accident of its having a terminus and a set of ofiiues in New York, which has brought about this astonishing series of events. Englibhmen must be pardoned for saying that the true and inevitable inference from these occur rences fceeuifl to them to be that no institution. characteristic of American democracy can hold its own against the influences of a great and wealthy oity, itself democratically gov erned. Universal suffrage, frequent elections, local self-government, the popular, choice of the jndioial body, the payment, but the moderate payment, of the representatives of the people, the low salaries of the judges, even an apparently rational and highly sim plified code of legal procedure each of these seems to have separately contributed to the generation of an entirely new political virus, which, beginning in a low and impudent fraud, is now spreading itself by contagion over the whole of the State of New York, and seems likely to be diffused through every State in the Federation. All the institutions we have named may have worked well among the rural population, and in cities not as yet too power ful; but the moral climate of one great city has perverted them, and in their distorted shape they seem likely to assimilate to them selves all the once praised characteristics of American democracy. A men oft n institutions a few years since falsified the predictions of their earlier apologists by the successes against the South. It had been universally laid down that the American democracy would prove weak for attack, though strong for defense; yet it proved capable of as energetic an offensive effort as a people ever made. The result of the war was, however, not the less the falsification of theory, and it is to be expected that many other prognostications concerning the Americans will turn out to have been too confidently made.
