IS THE AMERICAN SYSTEM IN DANGER? The questions of law raised in the important case of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Co. versus The Atlantic and Great Western Railway Co., now pending before Judge Read at Nisi Prius, we doubt not will be fairly considered and properly determined; certainly no material point is likely to be omitted by the nine or ten counsel employed by the latter Company, and who, though we have so widely differed with most of them on national subjects during the last four years of our great struggle, are eminent for legal ability and astuteness. There are other questions, not of law, but of fact, involved in this case, and to which it may not be improper in us to ask the careful attention and reflection of our readers. The advice of Washing ton to beware of foreign influence does not merely apply to the diplomacy of politicians. It is met and to be encoun tered in a more insidious and dangerous shape: in the influence of foreign capital and enterprise among us. So long as it is content with the interest upon a principal securely invested in enterprises under home control,it is in a measure advantageous; but when it seeks to control those enterprises and establish a policy or a system in this country, it becomes dangerous and will bear watching. _ . The Atlantic and Great Western Rail road Corporation is an absolutely foreign concern, owned and controlled in Eng land. Its railroad, of six feet gauge, extends from Dayton in Ohio, through £he northwestern corner of Pennsyl vania into New York, where it connects at Salamanca with the New York and Erie Railroad. Recently its managers in England have effected a consolidation of the road in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, and issued • a consolidated mortgage for $30,000,000, and consoli dated stock for a like amount. With the former, or a portion thereof, they propose to take up the mortgages on the respective roads in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. And did their operations cease at accom plit-hing this, we suppose the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania might withdraw its quo warranto, legalize the act of consolidation, which is imperfect in Pennsylvania, and perhaps pass enabling acts to cure some of its alleged organic defects and acts of misuse of corporate franchise. However, it is to the - recently declared purposes and acts of this Company that we desire to refer. Especially does it become us in Pennsylvania carefully to scan these acts and purposes, in view of the fact that they have followed the failure of this Company in its recent negotiations with the New York and Erie Company, and in which the main purpose was to obtain the right of fixing the through rates of freight from London, Liverpool, Man chester awl other points in England, via steamer, and from New York over the latter road and its connections to all points in the West. So long as the At lantic and Great Western Railway Com pany proper had no seaboard.connec tions, except the New York and Erie road, or controlled no main trunk line to tide water, it was, in the hands and under the management of foreign capital (at all times adverse to our American system), powerless to do mischief to the industrial and legitimate railroad inte rests of this country. But, failing with the New York and Erie Company, foreign capital, under the auspices of the Atlantic and Great Western Company, suddenly becomes enamored of Penn sylvania, and notwithstanding the cas tigation'she received from. a countryman, Sydney , Smith, who doubted not only the faith of her people, but the security of State bonds, which was as great as the whole length and breadth of her area, is clamorous to invest its pounds, shil lings and pence to the extent of millions upon a strip of her soil four rods wide and about 200 miles long. In plain terms, British capital proposes to build a "great through route from Franklin Lto: NewlYork" through Pennsylyania, t'da the Western Central, Lewisburg, ,Centre and Spruce Creelr,Catiwissa and , Bioriis and. Essex Railroads, and as an after thought—for the health of the landlOrd —a "branch to Philadelphia" via the East Pennsylvania and Philadelphia and Reading railroads. Under different cir , 7 cumstances, and home auspices, this project might - be commendable; taut there are certain laws, not only written, but of common . sense, which before; a railroad is constructed presuppose a ne cessity for it—not only a general but a local necessity. With the exiStencelof five well-equipped, double-traek main trunk roads reaching from tide water ,to the great West, each striving for busi ness, and now with the Mississippi river open to commerce with the Gulf, soon to be cutting each other's throats to secure a full share, the necessity for the proposed "Great through route 'to New York" and its "Branch to Phila delphia" is not very apparent. We are at a loss to know what suddenly de veloped commercial, manufacturing, agricultural,landed or other legitimate healthy interest, either in the West i or in Pennsylvania, suggested or required, or is asked to contribute to this sud denly proposed "Great through route, to New York" and its "Branch to Phila delphia." The Western Central road from Phillipsburg to Waterford, with power to connect with the Philadelphia and Erie Road. The Lewisburg,Centre was incorporated in 1860 as a local road and Spruce Creek Road was incor porated in 1853 as a local road from Lewisburg to Spruce Creek, with power to connect with the Pennsylvania Rail road, and until galvanized into lifeby the touch of British gold, the original promoters of these two roads were not willing to invest in them even to the extent of securing the charters by pay ment of the "Enrollment tax;" and we doubt whether a corporator or a citizen, along their proposed route, has as yet been pressed by the local necessities for their construction, into investing a dollar in their capital stock or bonds. That they have not, may be partly because they are deprived of the privilege, and partly because it is the natural tendency of mankind to keep their own purses shut, when some one else volunteers to foot the bills. For instance: The Atlantic and Great Western Company has covenanted in its "Catawissa lease" to build the Western Central; and Judge Barrett, of Clearfield county, as attorney of Sir Morton Peto, has subscribed a million dollars of the capital stock of the Lewis burg, Centre and Spruce Creek road, and given notice "that he would take the balance of whatever stock was not subscribed by the people along the line." Liberal and princely as this is, it is after all not equal, by four millions of dollars, to the subscription made by the Hon. Robert J. Walker to the capital stock of the Pacifie Railroad via Texas. Indeed the whole scheme of this pro posed "Great through route to New York" and its "Branch to Philadelphia" appears to have been hatched out and launched full fledged from the London Tavern in England, upon its mission of mercy and development to the benighted and sequestered vales of Pennsylvania. Whether the Free-trade League of England and New York were present and assisted at the incubation, gave it the first nourishment, and provided the ways and means for its future develop ment, we can only surmise. It is a significant fact, that its "Branch to Philadelphia, via the East Pennsyl vania and Philadelphia and Reading road," has long been managed by the controlling foreign interest of a single London Banker;and the negotiations for the lease of the roads were, for some 'rea son and purpose, studiously concealed from the knowledge of their sole counsel and solicitor, a gentleman who ranks among the highest at the Ameri can bar. Why was this done? Did the controlling foreign interest mean fair play with the minority shareholders at home? Was there,or is there any advan tage taken, which his American, in stincts and thorough knowledge of the practical detail; of su. h a contract would have enabled him to perceive and reject? Since the publication of the contract between the Atlantic and Reading Cora panics we have heard some of the most experienced railroad men of this coun try give an interpretation to its sixth clause, far different from what its con cluding paragraph, or the second resolu tion of the series passed by the Corn Exchange yesterday, proclaims; and it may be our duty to express more fully, hereafter, what that interpretation is. Considering that the resolutions passed yesterday at the Corn Exchange were prepa' ed and written under the eye and direction of the representatives of the foreign managers of both said roads, and carried by a prominent official of the Reading road to the member willing to father them at the meeting, it would hardly be expected that they should be less fulsome in the praise bestowed upon the managers themselves, or upon the project they have undertaken. That the contract is what the , mana gers, through the resolutions, say it is, "one of the most important evor made for the interests of Philadelphia," we fully agree; but whether important in the sense the members of the Corn Exchange would have it, or important in the sense the foreign owners of the roads intend, the future must develop. Whatwe havestated as facts herein., can be readily verified, and we leave them o the consideration of our readers, With his remark: That the manufacturing nd free trade interests of England and New York would willingly sacrifice a THE; DAILY EVENING. BULLETIN : few millions of dollars to' crush out our American system; and may it not be done as effectually, by controlling the Railroad Policy of this country, and by •establishing; temporarily, nominal rates for transportation direct from British workshops and looms via British steam ers to New York and Philadelphia, and thence viaßritish railroads over Ameri can soil, as by controlling the law-mak ing power of the United States? -A SLANDER REFUTED. The country owes its gratitude to Mr. Kasson, of lowa, for the prompt and manly way in which he has set at rest the story which has been so industriously circulated by the New York Daily News, in reference to the circumstances of Mrs. Lincoln's departure from the White House. It has been publicly and privately charged that a large amount of public property was removed from the Executive Mansion after President Lincoln's death, and the story has been so positively asserted, that it has gained credence amongst many of Mr. Lincoln's friends. Additional color was given to the charge by the extraordinary action of Congress in the matter of the appro priation to Mr. Lincoln's family. That appropriation was so disgracefully small that many persons have been led to be lieve that there must be some grave reason for it, not given to the public, and upon this theory, they have been willing to believe the unworthy charge, which has so maliciously been set afloat by Mr. Lincoln's personal enemies. Mr. Kasson, as a member of the Com mittee on Appropriations, gives a full, explicit and most satisfactory denial of the whole story. He asserts from his personal knowledge, that, so far from there being any foundation for the charge, but one solitary article ever paid for by the United States, was removed by the occupants of the White House. This was an article of furniture particu larly associated with Mr. Lincoln, and which his widow asked permission to retain on that account. The request was made through the Commissioner of Public Buildings to the Secretary of the Interior, and by him granted, as it of course should have been. We regret that Mr. Stevens should have felt it necessary to raise a technical objection to Mr. Kasson's statement, on the ground that the proceedings of the Committee have not yet been made public. As the statement had been made publicly, on the floor of Congress, it would have been better to have let it go to the country with the full weight of its manifest truthfulness. We do not understand Mr. Stevens as in any way contradicting or qualifying Mr. Kasson's remarks, but only as treating them as premature. J 0 URNA LLSTIC BEM I'LLITY. A copperhead cotemporary of this morning contains an article so monstrous in its savage cruelty that we would be almost as willing to have the crimes of Wirz and Forrest staining our soul as its authorship. It seems that a man named Cox left his home near Washington at the breaking out ; of the war, and joined the rebel army. His house and grounds were confiscated, the property was con verted into an asylum for colored or phans, and several hundred helpless creatures were gathered under its roof- Recently a brother of Cox, who had ob tained the promise of a pardon for the foiled traitor from the President, ordered out of the house the sable tenants who bad mercifully been afforded shelter there. Our r .'cotemporary does not argue the case on the ground that a par don involves a restitution of the forfeited rights of the pardon party; but in a long article it actually gloats savagely over the misery and helplessness of the poor creatures who would thus be made home less that a defeated traitor might again enjoy what he had rightly forfeited. It also coarsely insults and derides certain ladies of Washington who interceded for the unfortunates. Strip off from the soul of the man who penned this brutal article the sleek and gentlemanly looking body that encases it, and put it into tie frame of a low browed, heavy jawedruffi an; remove the scanty gray locks that surmount the in tellectual head of the writer, and re place them with matted masses of bristly hair; take away the suit of elegant and seemly black, and clothe the meta morphosed body in the garb of a deni zen of Mackerelville; and put vile oaths and terrible imprecations, instead of courtly phrat es into iris mouth, and the writer of tLe article referred to stands revealed as brutal a savage in soul, body and spirit as the worst of the wretches who sacked and burned an orphan asy lum in New York, and hunted down its little, helpless inm ites, for no other sin than than that their skins were black.
