On every:hand we find them trolling our State Legislatures and Gov- who pass laws and sign bills control- the trade and production of the land—for is only the question of the distribution f the products of labor—entirely in the in- of the railroad managers, and without 6 slightest considetation of how these mea- ures may affect the people. No hesitancy is ibited-in giving the sanction of the law to hemes like that of the scrip issue of the ludson River Road (a scheme contrived ina vate parlor at a late hour of the night by a few cunning men), the consolidation of the ‘adson and Central, the continuance in office for years of boards of directors, whether the stockholders wish it or not, as in the Erie and Fort Wayne roads, and the general increase of capital stock to every corporation that seeks to sell water as capital to the general public. In contemplating this vast field of cunning schemes and speculative contrivances the first inquiry that presents itself fs whether the Cornelius Vanderbilts and Jay Goulds of ow. day are the legitimate successors of John Law, of Mississippi bubble notoriety, and George Hudson, of railway king in- fumy, of other days; or are they the legiti- mate growth of modern American imperialism ? Their plans belong to the great contest of capi- tal agaiust the people; they aspire to the con- trol of the general enterprise of the country ; and if they are to attain permanency we shall in a few years be governed by a little knot of ten or fifteen railroad emperors meeting in some dark room in Wall street or private parlor of the railroad palaces, We know that the argument of the railroad men is that they have the right to control their own property; that if its earaings make a profit of fifteen per cent on the capital, and thus give the stock a market value of one hundred and fifty for one hundred invested, it repre- sents a real increase in the value of their pro- perty, which belongs to them as much as the increase of value in real estate belongs to the ‘owner; and that if the owners of two roads find it to their interest to unite for their own mefit they have the right to do so. This all looks very plausible and fair, but there are really other issues involved which limit the Fights of railroad proprietors in the same way that they limit the rights of other property owners. These are the community rights, ‘which affect the great mass of the people. Under these the gathering of immense landed estates by entail, or by cunningly contrived wills, are prohibited, because they are perni- cious to the general interest. The same prin- ciple of public right holds in the case of rail- ‘way property, and will prevail whenever the public becomes awakened or the evil grows too onerous to be borne. The principles that Jie at the foundation of the growth of our rail- road kings are repugnant to the controlling ideas of American society and modern civiliza- tion, But there is another fallacy in the argument of the railway kings, which should be brought to control their schemes, even before the appli- gation of the general principle we have refer- refl to. What they look upon as their property, held in fee simple, is, in fact, but a grant from the State, or its outgrowth, held during the pleasure of the State. Arrailroad franchise is, An fact, a grant by the Legislature to a person, ‘or community of persons, of a monopoly to tax the travel aud transit of the people. We it ia so in fact, because, by the practice i= a it is made such, though that in- tention was not its original purpose. This will be seon better by an example: When the Hudson River Railroad franchise was granted the proclaimed object was the public benefit. At that time if a railroad earned sufficient to replace wear and tear and pay a dividend of eight per cont, it was held to be good property. With this franchise this road is making earnings supposed to amount to thiriy per cent annually ‘of ita capital, part of which is being issned in scrip, or, ia other words, used ina shape to Dring in compound interest, or profits on profits. Another portion is used to prevent the grant of a competing line on the west shore of the Hudson river, and this having been so ‘urgently demanded by the public interest that its concession could not be denied. Another portion of its profits derived through the origi- nal franchise is devoted to the purchase of a controlling number of the subscriptions to the Competing line, when suddenly the new com- pany determines not to build. Thus the fran- Chise of the State is really made to defeat the requirements of the community. The proposed consolidation of tho Hudson River aud Central railroads will only add to the power of the Failway kings to defeat competitive constrac- tion and tax the public. The instance we have cited is only one of the maltitudinous forms in which she monopo- lizers increase their power, and if these are at- tontively studied it will be seen that our mod- ern Vanderbilts and Goulds are not a repro- @uction of the Laws and Hudsons of other days. The ancient schemers were mere plun- @erers through 9 temporary speculating mania ; the modern plotters are permanent tax gatherers of a confiding public. They band together with an energy created by millions upon mil- lions of public plunder, and are extending their Combinations over the entire Innd with a ra- pidity that menaces us with early imperialism or the throes of successful revolution. The temper of the people is seen in the constantly repeated vordicts of our juries against railway corporations and thelr kingly managers; but yet the railway kings ‘hold recklessly on their course, buying Logislatures, subsidizing Gover- nors and electing their tools to Congross, Tho ale ts filled with thoir magnificent schemes, and NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 1369.-QU ADRUPLE SHEET. of the members of the commission | a hundred millions of capital is now held to be a moderate power for one man to exercise, Who can or will resist this monopolizing ten- dency of the chartered tax gatherers? Our Sammer Resorts, The day is fast approaching when the sultry hours of summer must admonish the denizens of the city to pack up their trunks and betake themselves to the sheltered nooks, the bracing mountains and cool waters of our numerous summer resorts, where pleasure, health and fashion unite in one embrace like the three Graces of Canova. It isto be regretted that fashion commands so much and health and pleasure so little of the time and objects of a summer vacation. The truth is that what our pleasure and leisure seekers should endeavor to make the purpose of their country trips is repose, and not the hurry-skurry life which most of them lead at fashionable watering places and summer resorts generally. Under the prevailing pernicious system of transferring the city into the country—carrying there the frivolities, the despotism of rule and cere- mony which oppress fashionable life in the me- tropolis—a summer season in the country ia deprived of half its genuine pleasure and nearly all its hygienic advantages ; and hence, instead of greeting blooming cheeks on the return of our tourists, it is too often the wearied face and exhausted form that we have to meet. They comprehend this thing betterin Europe. They gointo the country during the heated season for ease and rest, not for hurry and dissipation. Comprehending the philosophy of summer touring, and recalling to mind just now that From brightening flelds of ether fair disclosed, Child of the Sun, refulgent summer comes ; In pride of youth, and felt through Nature's depths, He comes attended by the sultry Hours, And ever-fanning breezes on rtf way, the next thing to be considered is how and where to enjoy it. As to the manner in which the philosophy of summer travel can be made most appreciable we have already given a hint. When sensible people look for relfef they do not jump from the frying-pan into the fire. Neither do they exchange the excitement of the city for a more intense round of excitement in the country. When they talk of comfort, ease, fresh air, salubrions exercise, healthy food, balmy breezes, chalybeate waters, and such anti-dyspeptics furnished in all substantial or visionary shapes, they do not hope to find them in the crowded ballrooms of hotels at night, or entirely at the luxurious dinner table, although that is a part of the programme not tobe despised, when the landlord looks more to digestion than epicureanism for the comfort of his guests—which, we may add, is a rare virtue in a landlord, and one that should be as precious as treasures of Ophir, when it is found, As for the localities suited to summer enjoy- ment, they are as broad as the Continent; and we span the whole Continent now across the Pacific Railroad, taking in the regions of gold and silver, salt lakes, Indian reservations and all the grand fresh phases ot nature which this great highway has opened to us. But within our own immediate reach we can number them from the White Mountains, the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario at the North, down to the Sulphar Springs of Virginia, taking by the way Niagara, with its historic and world-known cataract; Saratoga and Sharon, with their healing watera; the Catskills, away up in the clouds, overlooking the Hudson; the coast sites on the shores of Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Long Island, and the Jersey salt water paradises at Long Branch, the High- lands, Red Bank and Cape May, with their splendid combination of lake, sea and moun- tain scenery. Along the coast New London is the most inviting harbor for our yachts, in whose placid waters they yearly furl their sails for atime and make their starting point for a new cruise, skimming like a flook of snowy swans away out into the sea. The fair and the brave, from shore and deck, con- jointly welcome the arrival and deplore the departure, which is a touch of huwan nature that is not foreign either to yachtmen or their gentle admirers. Climbing the Alleghanies we find on their summit the re- tired, hermit-like spot at Cresson, almost at the point of the eastern and western slopes. At Delaware Gap and other mountainous resorts the grandest scenery invites the tourist and the artist. But, as we are not writing 4 guide book, we may stop here and leave our sum- mer ramblers #0 elect for themselves, suggest+ ing merely that at each one of these places, anda hundred more, there are large draughts of vitality, mingled with pleasure, awalting those who understand how to enjoy a vacation in the true sense of that term, out of the thousands who are now preparing in a few weeks henco to take themselves off to our summer resorts. annsinnneipheettitimecemene Aono THEMSELVES.—There is nowhere in the world a worse class of desperadoes than the half-grown wretches who come out from the neighborhood of Pitt, Sheriff and Stanton streets with their horses and wagons and prey on the community as licensed venders.

Havana, May 24, via Key West, May 25, 1869. Advices from Santiago de Ouba, dated the 19th inst, and coming from Spanish sources, report that several days previous a steamer, supposea to be the steamship Perit, landed a large body of flibusters in the Bay of Nipe. While they were engaged in for- tifying their position they were surprised by a strong force of Spanish soldiers, who attacked and carried their uncompleted works, capturing seven pieces of artillery and a fag marked “Presented by E. C, Villarade to the Riflemen of Liberty.” Before the Spaniards could aval! themselves of the advantage they had gained the filibusters rallied, and after a severe engagement retook the “position and.gll of the guns, but failed to recapture the fiag, which the Spaniards carried of with them in their retreat. On recovering their artillery the the filibusters turned the guns upon the Spanish steamer Marsella, sending two shots through her hull and forcing her to retire beyond range. Some time after the Spantards had been defeated the Spanish gunboat African arrived in the bay of Nipe, and on perceiving the situation of affairs im- mediately went to Nuevitas for reinforcements. ‘The excitement at Nuevitas was very great. Im- meatately upon the receipt of the news the anthort- ties there sent a steamer to Havana with despatches communicating the intelligence to the govern- ment. ‘The steamship Perit arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 15th instant, and was quaranteed because she had touched ata Cuban port. She intended to return to New York ina few days, Five Cubans re- mained as passengers on board. Captain General Dulce has issued a decree order- ing the military authorities, in the cight specified jurisdictions, to seize all the horses, to prevent their falling into the hands of the rebels.

Lonpon, Mag-#8/ 1899, The annual match race of the Royal London Yacht Club, which is open, by rule of the mombers, to vessels of every class of rig, was contested on the 2ist mstant, attracting much interest among our yachtmen and the lovers of aquatic sports and out- door recreation generally. After the morning preliminaries had been arranged and the contestants brought into line it was found that the starters were:—The Julia, yawl, of one hundred ana nine tons burden; the Cambria, schooner, of one hundred and eighty-six tons, with the Fiona, Volante, Muriel and Sphinx, cutters, ranging from thirty-nine to seventy tons respec- tively, The course was from Erith to and around the Nore lightship aud return tothe point of starting after rounding. At the moment of starting the yachts were handled thus:—The Cambria set her balloon jibs and balloon topsails; the Sphinx her balloon foresail, with a large working topsail, the others ustng their working jibs, The canvas of the Cambria was worked in hauling amartly, yet she was slow in coming round. When off Gravesend Reach. the Muriel aad the lead, being followed by the Sphinx and Volante, with the Cam- bria last. At the Lower Hope the Sphinx and Volante had the lead, running in close company. The Muriel had fallen off in consequence of having experienced a head wind, and theCambria was gut of the race. ‘The yachts rounded the flagsiup with the Fiona first and the Cambria last, On tho retura the Volante maintained the lead for some time, the Sphinx drawing gradually to the front. The vessels reached the starting polut in the fol- lowing time and order, viz.:—The Volante in seven hours and fifty minutes, and the Sphinx in seven hours and forty-eight minutes; theSphinx, of forty- eight tons, taking the first prize, and the Volante, fifty-nine tons, the second.
