RAILWAY MISMANAGEMENT IN -431 -
RICA AND I N ENGLAND.

The Saturday Review last week said of the New
York Nation that it was equal in every respect to the
very best English papers, a remark in which, we need
scarcely say, we fully concur. In the number of May
21 one of its able articles on the Railroad Fraternity"
shows in a convincing way how the same causes
prochEngland or the United States exactly
the same reSuTts. It is a stock argumerit 'in both
countries, when either is pointed to as an example
of the benefit to be derived from a certain course,
" that it might answer very well on the other side
of the water, but it was not adapted for us." When,
however, they act on the same plans they are pretty
certain to produce the same effect, and barring
some national differences of detail, the railroad mis-
management as prevailing, according to the Nation,
in America, might pass as written with reference to
English mismanagement. Three classes are sup-
posed to be interested : the proprietors, whether
holders of bonds or of shares; the public, with
their purses to deplete and their bodies to mangle ;
and that large class of individuals whom the Nation
styles " the Railroad-men," who form a fraternity,
a secret league, a united body., bound together by
a bond, not acknowledged nor even fairly under-
stool by themselves, but nevertheless real and sub-
stantial. This bond is none other than their ac-
knowledged hostility to the general public, and
to the great mass of railroad stock and bond-
holders. The class of railroad-men consists of
and comprises the great majority of the officers of
all railroads in the country, the presidents, the
v ce -epurpeesri
superintendents, all the great railroad builderss, the acting directors, the engineers
and
and contractors, the owners of rolling-mills who
furnish railroad iron, the builders of cars and loco-
motives, the land agents and subsidies, the capit a-
mid the speculators

No generation of feudal barons Hied more openly
or untlisguisedly by force or fraud than do the rail-
road men of our times. It is true the old barons
ruled their countries sometimes well, more often ill,
and hence may be thought to have done some good
But the railroad barons are also thought to serve the
State by managing the railroad lines, and it is to the
general prevalence of this belief, aided by their
own audacity, that they owe their power." The
history of Sir Morton Peto and the London, Chat-
ham, and Doyer Railway reads uncommonly like the
proceedings sketched by the Nation. The charter
to build a road is only b •
tam
o ed by log-rolling, and
generally by actual bribery. When obtained 'it is
of money value, and the company has to tender a
largo amount of the stock for this charter in addi-
tion to the repayment for
tive expenses." The company has then to elect
directors, and the services, or at least the names of
"prominent railroad-m
en " are necessary to give
credit and standing to the enterprise, but neither
services nor names are to be had without payment.
Shares are respectfully tendered and accepted, and
the use of the names are gained for the new con-
cern. One-half or one-third of the stock is often
thus disposed of without any "value received" before
the company is brought out. Then another stage
is reached ; the building of the road. The promi-
nent " men" - railroad- introduce " well-known con-
tractors" to grade the line at so much per mile,
payment to be made in firsrmortgage bonds of the
company at 70 per cent., the company undertaking
to " make a market" for the bonds. The exami-
nation of the contracting firm of Peto, Betts, and
Co. has let the
English public into some of the
secrets of the system, as conducted in England.
Of course the price secures the contractor against
any probable loss by the bonds, but, as the " pro-
minent director " has also to be provided for,
a considerable margin must be assured. No
bargain to this effect is made, the matter being
understood among " railroad-men," any contractor
failing to make things right with his friends on the
board would be denounced to the community and
cast out, never thereafter being able to get another
contract. The same course is pursued in the deal-
ings between the contractors and the manufacturers
of engines, rails, it,
--C., and by the time the enter-
prise is complete the contractors have received a
$l,OOO bond of the market value of $7OO in pay-
ment of labour and material worth perhaps $5OO,
the difference going into the pockets of the various
" eminent railroad-men" connected with the enter-
prise, the company having contracted a debt of
sipo for the value of $5OO received. Now comes
into play the operations of the board of directors,
who are bound to " make a market" for the bonds,
and this requires the services of " eminent financial
men." A judicious use of editors and reporters
prepares the public for the undertaking, and one of
the first steps is to sell a certain amount of the
bonds at 60 to 65 per cent. to the treasurer and
bond agent of the road, Who
is one of the " emi-
nent financial men," the company binding itself not
to sell bonds to others under 70 per cent. "At the
expense of the company the bonds are largely ad-
vertised, the advertisers generally paying a liberal
amount for editorial and reporters' puffing." A
large number of persons are now interested in the
stock, and their advocacy assured by the best of
all spurs, self-interest. The secret transpires that
the bonds are selling faster than is necessary
for money to construct the road, and this " de-
sirable security " is there/ore advanced 5 per
cent., and after this operation is repeated two
or three times the bonds obtain a satisfactory
position on the market, and the transaction is
highly beneficial to all the " railroad-men" con-
cerned. Notwithstanding the financing and the
contracting, if the road has really well been laid
out, the country well selected, and the management
thereafter proves commonly honest and judicious,
it may never belie the statements of those who
sold the bonds nor the anticipations of those who
bought them. But, says the Nation, the probability
is that the road will not be managed as honestly as
it should be; the temptations to be honest are now-
a-lays so inadequate, while the temptations to be

Directors and Officers the same as set forth in the Orissa

The scheme of works to be executed has been tho-
roughly investigated and carefully re-planned on behalf
of the Company, and particulars submitted to and ap-
proved by the Government, so that there will be no delay
in making preliminary surveys, plans, &c., all of which have
been effected, and everything made ready for immediate
constructive operations, a great advantage not possessed
heretofore by any other undertaking of a like character,
because the realisation of profits has been thus brought so
much nearer.

Some shares have been already allotted in India.

" a smart railroad-man" are, under the circum-
stances, almost irresistible. At this stage these

temptations are peculiarly strong. The stock is in
the hands of legislators, lobbyists, editors, original

owners of the charter, and, in a word, the "railroad
men," who have paid nothing for it, but desire to
see it saleable in Wall-street. It earns only enough
to pay expenses an l interest on its mortgage bonds,

therefore no divi&nds aro p Lid on th?, stock ; and
until one or two dividends are RAM it can have but
little value. Then comes the cooking of the ac-

counts, an operation so thoroughly well known in
England that there is little necessity to allude to it

" A dividend must be declared whether

earned or not, and the money must be pro-
vided, honestly, if possible, but most generally
not." The plan in America is similar to that
adopted in England. The road is allowed to de-
teriorate, the money that ought to be expended in
repairs being entered as excess of receipts over ex-
penditure going into the dividend account, whenc it
is thus distributed, and the report being taken as
honest by the public, the stock acquires a market
value, which enables the holders gradually to sell
out. When the deterioration has reached danger-

point, money is borrowed in America as in Eng•

land, being there termed " floating debt," which is
not readily understood by the majority of the out-

side stockholders. At the same time the " eminen
railroad-men" on the board have a pull over the un

suspecting public in their prior knowledge tha
more capital is required, and-a fresh issue of stock
necessary. The " smart" directors immediately
sell large amounts of stock through their brokers
for their private account, knowing that the price
will be depressed when the new stock is brought on
the market, and they can buy back for delivery at
a gain—an operation usually termed "bearing."
The end of a thoroughly jobbed road in America
differs in some degree from that of a line in Eng-
land. After its credit has become so bad that it
can neither borrow, contract floating debts,
nor sell new stock, the line passes danger-point,
accidents become common, traffic declines, and
the income being insufficient to pay besides ex-
penses, the interest on the mortgage, it is foreclosed,
the property is sold at auction, and the millions of
stock held by the unsuspecting public vanish into
thin air. If the events of the last two years had
not shown up the railway mismanagement of Eng-
land, such an exposé as that in the Nation would
have furnished a theme for the " eminent railroad
men" and " financiers" of England, ou which to
moralize. We would have heard a great deal about
the degrading tendency of Democratic institutions,
the corruption generated in all classes through
universal suffrage, the necessity for the check and
control of men of high and well-established cha-
racter. Bat the revelations in London have
effectually silenced English comment, for it is a
Iproved fact that a system more shamefully dis-
honest has no where else prevailed. In both coun-
tries the question of Government control is mooted,
and is, the Nation says, " only one of a series of
questions that are forcing themselves at this time
upon the attention of all peoples of Anglo-Saxon
race, and will probably involve in their settlement
some serious changes in the whole spirit of our do-
mestic policy." With all the American belief in the
" no-Government" theory, amounting almost to a
national principle of law, " there is, nevertheless, a
growing disposition to return to the old-fashioned
belief that, after all, Government is not a bad thing
in itself ; that there ought, after all, to be responsi-
bility attached to the actions of all men ; and
that somewhere the power must reside to enforce
that responsibility. We are being gradually,
not by theoretical arguments, but by the invincible
logic of bitter practical experience, educated to the

STRANGE POPULAR 31.4N1FESTATION I,N

A certain feeling of animosity, says the Times,
has been manifested in the Department of the
Charente against the clergy. How it has arisen,
or who has directly provoked it, is not clear ; but
it is since the discussion in the Senate on the peti-

tion against the Materialist doctrines attributed to

certain Professors in the Schools of Medicine that

these symptoms have appeared. No serious acts of.
violence have been committed ; but, if we may

believe the local papers, the agitation was spread-
ing among the peasants. Some persons have, it

seems, succeeded in persuading the population
that, owing to the clergy, tithe 3 and other
charges existing before the great Revolution for

she benefit of the monasteries and churches are
obe re-established forthwith. The credulous

peasantry caught caanuaghetonufipsetahteeasem rumours, and

ment of Barbezieux. Among other stories, circu-
wvilm-
the effect that a painting representing ears of corn,
blades of grass, and bunches of grapes, emblematic of
tithes, was concealed in the church. A crowd,
greatly excited, broke into the building, with
shouts of " A bas la dime!" and searched in every
corner, but found nothing. Then rushed to the
presbytery, or residence of the priest, smashed
the windows, threatened bim with violence, and
might have done some more serious injury but
for the opportune arrival of a party of gen-
darmes, who dispersed the crowd and arrested
four or five of the ringleaders. The following
morning, however, another crowd assembled
and made an attempt to rescue the prisoners. The
gendarmes stood firm, and they and the Procureur-
General, who was on the spot, succeeded in over-
awing them. Of the four arrested three were sen-
tenced by the police magistrate to fifteen months'
imprisonment and one to fifteen days. Tranquil-
lity, however, is not yet so complete as to dispense
with the aid of the military, and small detachments
continue to watch the parts where the agitation was
greatest. Meanwhile the Prefect of the depart-
ment has issued a proclamation to the following
effect :—" Inhabitants of the Charente,—A. portion
of our department, usually so calm and devoted to
the Emperor, is under the influence of an agitation
the cause of which is as devoid of common sense as
of truth. The enemies of the Government have, with
a view to detach you from it, spread about the report
that the time for tithes and fedual rights was com-
ing, and that the clergy were preparing to hang
up in their churches a painting which was to be
the signal for the restoration of the ancient regime.
The mysterious painting, the idea of which disturbs
your mind so much, has never existed, has never
been seen by any one, and never will be seen. It
is a malicious fiction imagined by persons who want
to lead you astray. The re-establishment of tithes
and feudal rights is at once an impossibility and a
falsehood, and, by accepting as serious inventions
so absurd, we expose ourselves to be made a laugh-
ingstock. We are in a country of equality. All
Frenchmen possess the same rights, and the Go-
vernment would be the first to enforce respect for
them if necessary. Such is the will of the Emperor.
Have every confidence in him, and in those who
represent him. Banish from your minds all such
chimerical fears, and do not pain me by seeing you
imitate those who have committed acts of disorder,
and whom justice has already severely punished."
it is not ascertained who set such rumours afloat.

They may, perhaps, be traced to some hasty obser-
vations on the part the Cardinals have taken in the
late debates in the Senate, to the ovations accorded
by the students to M. Saint-Beuve after his
spee:thes, or to the visit ostentatiously paid him by
Prince Napoleon. At any rate the Opinion Na-
tionale, the anti-clerical, Democratic, and " Liberal"
organ, comes forward in hate to declare that the
whole affair is a mystery, but that one thing is clear
to all—viz., " that the Liberal Democrats, who
have been so often calumniated, have had nothing
whatever to do with these agitations." The Liberal
Democrats have not, that I know of, been accused
by any one. From the last accounts it was feared
the agitation had reached parts of the Charente In-
Nrieure and the Gironde, and in the former bands
of peasants were going about crying " Vive l'Em-
pereur ! Down with the tithes !"

SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS ON

ImpsACIIMENT.

(From the Anglo-American Times.)
The tone of the American press on Impeachment
has, on the whole, proved satisfactory. A great
number of country newspapers and the more ad-
vanced Radical organs adopted a style, we dare say,

they now regret, but the daily press of New York,

notwithstanding the violence of the excitement, as
a general rule wrote nothing they have any cause
to be ashamed of. The Round Table on this subject

.hus gives the spirit of the New York dailies :
The Evening Post, grave, sincere, and possessing an

influence due to its years and character, while treating

the Impeachment as a regular and authorized proce

dure, has never affected to think it wise or necessary
either for a party or national purpose. The Com-

mercial Advertiser, directed by unusual experience

and sagacity that has become proverbial, has
steadily discountenanced it. The Times, with a
temperate and discriminating spirit, which is its

chief characteristic, has from the outset depre-
cated the rancorous zeal that inspired and has
embittered the whole movement, and has not

disguised its lack of sympathy with its inceptors
and Managers. The World, with the odd mixture
of scholarship and ad captandum badinage which

it finds suitable to its audience, has reasoned with,
ridiculed, and reviled the measure and its pro-
moters with an assiduity that its increasing circula-

tion has made proportionably effective. The herald
has vigorously ranged itself on the same side, and
from its own stand-point and in its own fashion
has bombarded ancient enemies unceasingly in
their new and vulnerable citadel. The Ex-
press has stood staunchly by its political co-
lours, and evinced throughout its abiding
faith in the principles and classes it represents.
Even The Sun, in spite of editorial antecedents that
might hake been supposed to augur a different
policy, has shown in various ways its doubts of the

udiciousness of a scheme which, whether success.

ful or not, threatened to aggravate political reac-
tion against a party with which it nominally
acts, while in the former case it would strengthen
individual hands likely to be mischievous. Thus

the Tribune alone, of all the metropolitan
dailies which may be credited with political
influence, has heartily and thoroughly advocated
Impeachment and conviction, and with consistent
pertinacity has fought the battle through to its
close. The summary may be taken in a general
way as representative of the press of the whole
country. All the newspapers that may be termed
moderate Republican, Democratic, Conservative,
or neutral, have virtually opposed Impeach-
ment, or rather conviction. The extreme Ra-
dical party alone, led by their Magus Apollo,
the Tribune, have been of an opposite mind.
The course oc. the Tribune has provoked much com-
ment. The Nation says that this remarkable paper
is the apostle and guide of nearly half a million of
people, and although humiliating to have to com-
ment on its course, it is this fact which makes it
worth while to do so. Up to Monday, May 18,
that is to the first working day of ter the vote on the
eleventh Article of Impeachment had been taken, it
tried to disgrace the press and disgrace the
country, not only by attempting to convert a
judicial proceeding into a riot of perjury and
partizanship, but by holding some of the purest
and most distinguished men in the country up to
the execration of the world as scoundrels. It de-
clares them " infamous ;" insinuated that Mr.
Trumbull had been bribed by the " whisky ring ;"
and allowed its correspondents at Washington to
sit in the gallery of the Senate and sketch even the
personal appearance of Mr. Trumbull and Mr. Grimes
in the language of mingled hate and ruffianism. The
Brooklyn Union well says of a part of itsperfortnanccs :
" The absurdity of the Tribune's article of this
morning is only equalled by its atrocity, and that
is unparalleled in Northern political journalism, or
in civilized journalism anywhere." And Harper's
Weekly also truly points out how fitting a termina-
tion this is to the Tribune's course during the rebel-
lion. " A soldier in peace and a citizen in war," it
was timorous and vacillating while the cannon were
sounding, and pluck and persistence were before all
things needful. When peace was restored, and there
was occasion for prudence, for caution, for reflection,
and for intelligent doubt, it began charging like
a fury, and with an apparent determination not to
be taken alive. It has supported every bill and re-
solution, good, bad, and indifferent, that any Radi-
cal chose to introduce into Congress during the last
two years, and has declared the passage of each one
essential to the salvation of this afflicted country.
It was opposed to Impeachment while Impeachment
was spoken of as a judicial proceeding ; but when it
took it up, it apparently determined to " put it
through" as a great " Wade movement," and pro-
nounced anybody who refused to vote the eleventh
Article a liar and scoundrel, and proposed to drive
out of the Republican party its most respected
members." Finding, however, from the unmistak-
able marks of reprobation coming in from every
quarter, and that peculiarly effective one " Stops"
it retracted in the cases of Messrs. Trumbull
and Fessenden, and declared Impeachment a
mistake." The Round Table asserts that " more
than to the moderate press do the Managers owe
their failure to the Tribune. More than to the
moderate press to the Tribune does Mr. Johnson
owe his acquittal. Mr Butler did much, no doubt,
but, with all his will and much more power to
damn,' Mr. Greeley with exquisite infelicity did
more. We have never been his admirer, but we
in
certainly think it must be owned that, however
Milesian a fashion, the editor of the Tribune has in
this instance deserved well of his country."
