COKPOE ATIONS.
No inconsiderable portion of tl:e pres
ent session of our Territorial Legis'' ure
has been spent in renting corporations.
Thii has been June, notwithstanding the
democratic creed denies the doctrine o!
'chartered rights" and "exclusive privi
leges," ond in theory, maintains the doc
trine of equal right.
We lay Uiiil a large portion of the pres
ent lession has hern spent in the creation
of paltry corporations, and petty moncpo
les, which en.ible a few individuals to bar
away the public from privileges to which
they are inherently entitled, and have as
jrood a right to exercise (if the doctrine
r-f democracy be true,) as those whom the
aw says shall have the exclusive right.
The liberality of the Legislature hat been
most profuse in granting exclusive priv
ileges to Individuals and companies. In
proof of this look at the single iletn ol
ferries." We cannot now recall the ex
ct number already granled they i.re
iuite numerous, however, particularly
lorg the Missouri river. '-Paper tnvrns"
i.re piettyildukly established up und down
the river-, nearly llw whole 4cngth cf jhe
Territory? Ever one of these towns
want a ferry, -ami many' of them moie
than one. Charters have been called for
at nearly every place, and obout as freely
granted as nuked for. Not content, how
ever, wiih the establishment of a corjiora
iion for each of the places referred toe.
We notice one of a broader character, de
signed to cover the whole extent of the
river from one end f the Territory to the
other, not already coTered by other char
ten. Numerous charters hare been procured
Vy companies or individuals for ferry priv
ileges in different portions of the Terri'o
ry, where there ar no settlements, nor
ny likelihood or their being any for years
to come.
Trie enquiry arises, why have so many
special privileges been grunted? We pre
sume most of these charters have been
procured for no other purpose than spec
ulation. A chr.rter when inec obtained
gives the possessor the power of making
something off of the public, or off of indi
viduals, without having made the least ex
penditure for the benefit of cither.
We see no valid rea&on why every im
rginary ferry J r'.v ilege in the Territory
should be covered by chartered lights.
When the country becomes settled, many
ferries may be needed that ore nut now.
Why establish ferries with char'crcd
rights, before they are called for hy the
necessities of the community? Where
there are no settlements, and no travel,
no reason exists for the establishment of a
ferry at all, and none should be rs; LI ish
td for the prospective benefit it any class
of individuals, in advance of the public
wants.
A large majority of the members of the
Legislature claim to be the disciples of
democracy, and yet, we have never known
an instance where the ze.-.I of a wing leg
islature, lead it to bestow charters wiih
that degree of liberality which our legis
1st ure have manifested in its crsatiotis of
monopolies. We ljk upon this thai ter
iruAii.g spirit as democratic heresy of the
s liest kind, aud more becoming whig fai:h,
than democratic practice. If whig prin
ciples ore the best for thepractic' of dem
ocrats, in other words, for adoption in
practice, we have no objection to them
providing the theory is adopted alcng with
the pructiee. We like to sen consistency
enough to produce a correspondence be
tween party theory and prac.ice., Urt ihua
le what they iru.y.
The di wocralio theory s.iys, avoid spec
ial legislation shun moiKo!ies. The

POST OFFICE MONfcY CaSEUS.
Probably many of our readers have

Unlike an individual, the Post OnVcl
Department is irresponsible. Money ink-'

ISDIAN PAYM;STS.
Tiiere seems to be considerable diver
si'y (.f opinion among i,e friends of the
Indians. rj.ecting the kind of payment,
most proper for them in their prtscnt cir
cumstances. It has been contended 1 y .some, (hat if
they were to be paid in money, whiskey
sellers mid olher sharpers would be the
principal gamers, and to prevent so de
plorable an e,il, their annui.ies should be
paid in f gihidtun.l implements, school
ing, provisions mid clothing, instead of
money, li is ihe opinion or some, that
the entire Mnount due ih( m, should be
pidd in money. O.hers hold that n pur
tion of the annuity should be paid in pro
visions and clothing, and the remainder in
the establishment and support of schools.
Odiers, again, hold that the pood of the
Indians would be promoted in 'die highest
degree, by Living a portion of each of the
provisions spoken of above, made for
them. We are of the opinion that pro
visions should be made for the education
of the children und youth of our Indian
tribes that reading, writing Mid the ru
diments of science, agricultural pursuits,
and religion, should be taught them, and
wmi ioo oi uirir own expense, it tins
view is correct, it follows that a Govern
ment wishing to secure the intellectual
and moral improvement of the Indians ,
should m-ike provisions f ir those mental
necessities, which an In li m stands in so
much need of, but which he is the lust to
think of providing for himself.
(jovernment has reserved to itself the
right to pay the Indians in such a wpv as
itlelieves most eondusive t,i their pres
ent end pcrm-iuent good. It is not to be
presumed that the Indians know best what
limy need, and above all, that they would
have wisdom enough to provide for their
highest and greatest wants the wants of
the mind. Light must be provided, and
must penetrate the b-nigh!c-d soul of these
degraded beings, before they will care
enough about it, to seek it, or know
enough to provide it for themselves.
After the provisions now referred to
have been made, the balance due, should
be p; id in money. Indians know very
well how to provide for the body, partic
ularly when the means are provided, so
that it can be done without work. Gov
ernment cannot tell uli t kind of food or
clothing will be most suitable for the In
dians, nor w hen tney stand in the great
est need of them. Li order (o obviate this
difficulty, give them their money and let
them purchase to suit themselv es, and if
ihey make bad bargains, the loss will be
their own.

This chap is iirotind ig iin. He has
bei'ii in town for a week. 1 Ie nny be seen
on 'Chat ge every dny. He is over on thu
Pier, t.b ng (iuny strcel, looks in at the
banks, ntid lounges in the hotels. He
burrs our merchaiils. and seats himself
eezily inlnwjer's eflicis. He is every
where.
A great disturl er of the public quiet, a
pi slilent fellow is ll is Same Tight Times.'
F.verybody talks about him, cvcrjlxnly
huksout for l.im, rvrrjbody hates him,
mid a great many hard words and rm little
prof .lie epithets r.re bestowed upon him.
L ci) body would avoid him il they could.
everybody would hijs liitn from 'Change,
hoot him from ofTlhe Pier, ehase him frem
(jury slrec', kick him out of the banks,
throw hit eut r.f thn torn, eut of the
hotels, liny can't. Ti'rht Timet is
boic. A burr, he wi!l stick. Hints are
thrown nvvny on him, nbuse, lavish in vain,
kicks, cuffs, profanity are all thrown sw.ty
oti 1 tti. He is impervious to them all.
An impudent fellow is Tight Times.
Ask fur a dis"om.!, and he looks over your
shonl L-r, vv ink t thu cashier, and vouf
note is thrown "out. Ask e. loan of ihe
usnrcis nt one per cent a month, he looks
over your ser-urilies and m u k two and a
half. Present a bill to your debtor, Tight
Times shriiu'S his shoulders, roll 3 up his
e.vts. and you must cdlrgaiu. A wifo
asks fur a fashionable brocade, a di lighter
for a new I onm-t ; he puts in Lis caveat,
and the brocid" and bonnet are postponed,
A great depreeiator of s'ocks is Tight
Times. He steps in turning the brokers
and down goes Central to par, to ninety,
fiv e, ninety, i,:hty-fiv c. He plays the
dure with the Michigan Central, widi
Mb hiiran Southern, vvi'li Hudson River,
with N vv Yoi k and Flie. Hegoesidotig
the railroads in processor const rue' ion,
and the Irishmen throw down their shov
els and walk awry. He puis his mark
upon r. ilioad bonds, and tiny find n,
purchasers, are hissed out of lm.rket, be
come obsolete, absolutely dead.
A great evplodi.r of bubbb's is Ti-ht
Times. He looks into the affairs of 1,0'.. I
, i.iiipanii.s, nn I Ihey fly to piec es; inlo kit
ing banks, mid lliey stop pa) ment; into
i-ickc'y insurance coinpn.-.ies, and they
vaiiish away, lb; walks around corner
lo's, dr..ws line across lithographic cities
and they disappear. He leaves his foot
prints among mines, i.n 1 the rich metr.j
becomes dress. He brealhcs u;cn the
cunningest si hemes of speculation, &. thy
burst like ,1 torpedo.
A hard master for the poor, n cruel en
my to the L.bnring n.aMr. is Tight Tiio s.
He takes the mechenic from his bench, the
laborer from his work, the hod-carrier
from his ladder. He runs un lh mice
of provisions, and runs dowu lee jiriee of
laborhe runs 1 p the price of fuel, and
runs dow 11 iho ability to purchase it at any
price. He. makes litlle children hungry
and cry for rood cold, and cry for lire
ml clothing. He m..kes poor women sad,
makes mothers wee), discourages the
hearts of falhers, carries cnie and anxiety
into families, and sets a crouching desola
lion in the 1 orner and oil the hearth-stones
of the poor. A hard master to the poor is
Tight Times.
A curious fellow is Tight Times, full,
full of idiosyncrocies aud crotchets. A
!tr.opo!iic a wanderer loo. Where lie
come f rom nobody knows, and where hn
cs imhoi'y kows. He ILshes altj the
.digraph wins he fakes free passage in
die iais. he seals himself in (he sti ires, or
( s idol .;; the furiipikc on fool. He is a
i.""!1'"" '"i Wall street to-day, and a
b .ck settler on the borders of eizilization
to-moi row. We hear of l.im in London,
ill Paris, ill St. Petersburg, at Vienna, all
over ihe cnmmereiul world, in every great
city, in every rural district every where.
There is one way to avoid being bored
by this Iroublesomc fellow, Tihl Times.
