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.
