    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.
