Baking the Charters.

An act passed at the last session of the
Legislature requires the payment into the
Treasury by the applicants for acts OF incor-
poratiou of joint stock companies of sums
of money proportional to the amount OF
their respective capitals as sort of indemnity
to the State for the time devoted to the con-
sideration of their charters. The charge in
the act upon charter with proposed CAPT.
tai Of $1,000 is $50, and for every additional
$4,000 charge of $3.50 Is made. ~~.-
This act had been forgotten, and two ap-
plications were made at the opening of the
present session by gentlemen who were not
aware of its existence. They were met at
the threshold by demand for the required
deposit" pay before you ride"
The question, Us our readers know, was
immediately raised whether the sum psid for
riding through the Legislature would be paid
back if the charter asked for be not granted.
The question was important, as tho amount
Of capital specified In ono Of the charters
asked for required the payment OF upwards
Of $1,000 into the Treasury. The committee
to whom the subject was referred reported
that there could be no such thing as refund
ing. The State, according to the act, charged
for the time devoted to deIiberation upon {
charter, and, passed or rejected, 1t was all one
The State kept the money.
UnQuestionably the committee was right
The State would not cook for these peopl
for nothing. She must be paid. But then
strangely enough, there was an exception
!. made In the law in favor of existing compa
q MES. Their applications for amendments t
7 their charters were to perceived and passet
upon without the payment Of anything 70
the time given to them. This looked
as though the existing companies had fxet
things to bluff off newcomers. The old rat
had thus reserved hole for themselves ant
closed up all the openings to Others. *
I'll existing railroad company could appl,
for permission to build branches of an,
kpgh to 80 anywhere without paving down
cent but any application other than theirs
would have to face the music aud pay down
the rhino.
The act is neither creditable nor just The
State ought TO be above any such thing.
Acts Of incorporation are supposed to be for
the public good. The Legislature does right
TO pass all that may be SO considered, and
there should be no charge for their passage.
If charter is asked for that Is not for the
public good, the application should be re-
jected. But there should be no taking of
money from either side; not for the approved
charter, because that is for the public good !;
and not for that which Is condemned, be-
cause the States treasury should not be
soiled with the money Of corrupt applicants
that might secure for them consideration
and hearing 70 which they were not entitled.
We care not for examnes- The act 10

has been the fashion for several years. IL
seems not to have been known to our NORTH

that at last the fact has been discovered, at
least BY the Tribune. That paper, conclud'

"ro crown ali, this same United states

with two companies of United States troops.
This may he law; perhaps it is; but II
looks like great and successful game Oh

We know the United States marsha!s well
down here, and we have a speaking acquaint'
