. .Honied monopolies, sooner or later al
ways prove a curse, instead of a blessing,
to "any community. They, should, there
fore, be discountenanced by all hating at
heart the permanent well-being cf socie
ty; Monopolies are frequently engines
x)f tyranny They favor the rich and
grind the pooh , Monopolies are purse
Jroud and insolent. Their constant and
Uniform tendency is to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. a
Young as Oregon is she nevertheless
is already cursed with monopolies, not the
least of which is the People's Transp or
tation Company. We do not pretend to
know peisonally those who compose this
Company. .We have as yet taken but lit
tle trouble to inquire. . It is sufficient for
lis to know that as a Company they have
no opposition j that hence they are a mo
nopoly, getting rich off the people of Or
egon by exorbitant charges for freight or
passage.
Sometime last August a box of books,
belonging .to us, all the way from Pitts
field, Illinois rta Gape Horn and San
Francisco, arrived at the wharf at Alba
ny. It cost us as much less about one
fourth to get them from Portland here,
as it did from Pittsfield to Portland. In
other words, it cost us nearly as much to
transport our books fifteen to eighteen
thousand miles as to have them brought
seventy-five or eighty miles 1 It was not
o good day for the P. Trans. Company to
charge, either.
We once moved some household furni
ture from a point opposite Louisiana, Mo.,
to Stillwater, Minnesota a distance, by,
irater, of seven or eight hundred miles;
an 1 although it was the- first boat of the
eaason, and the rate3 of freight had not
teen reduced by competition, yet the
charge was only seventy dollars. Last
August we moved ahout the same amount
aud kind of household goods from Port
land to Albany, and were charged seven
ty dollars therefor ; but on our express
ing some surprise, the very gentlemanly
purser very graciously deducted ten dol
lars!1 A year ago we were merchandizing in
Monmouth, Polk county, Oregon. We
replenished our stock several times, and in
at least half the instances we sent down
to Portland for goods by teams, because it
co?t us no more, and teamsters would re
ceive the greater portion of their pay in
merchandize a thing the People's Tran.
Company would not do, of course. They
want the pound of flesh next the heart,4
It is somewhere in the neighborhood of J
eighty or eighty-five miles, by water, from
hera to Portland. Let a man get aboard

along down, and being in Portland by1
daylight next morning, as heshould, he
eimply drops down to Salem, and lies at
that place all night paying fifty cents
for a bunk; and the following day, at 3 or
4 o'clock, he reaches Portland. Then, a
gain, they take their own time in return
ing. We landed'in Portland a week ago
last Wednesday, and by the following
Friday were ready to return. On inqui
ry W3 found that no boat would arrive at
Albany till the next Tuesday ! and the
alternative was thus presented us either
to lie over in Portland four days or else
go heme on Friday in one of the delight
ful mud-wagons of the stage Company.
We chose the latter. Now, no good rea
son can be .given tor such long delays.
They are inexcusable. But the P. T. Co.
are a monopoly a rich, purse-proud, ex
acting monopoly and they do as they
please in this matter.
We do " not wish it to be inferred that
we were charged more than anybody else
in the above specified cases. So far as
we know they were the usual rates, made
out in exact conformity to the scale of the
People's Transportation Company. We
give the Company credit for treating all
alike in the matter of freight charges.
If they haVo inserted, their fangs into ns
quite deep, we have the exquisite satis
faction of knowing that they bit others
just as deenly and fiercely. If, while they
trailed and called us brother, they smote"
us under the fifth financial rib, it is some
Consolation to us to know that they have
very nearly disemboweled others.
Not only do the P. T. Company charge
exorbitant freights, but in the matter of
meais iur pssseugtia na-v mil tv luruiMiu

fair equivalent. As we have already in
t timated, last week we visited Portland.
i Of course we jumped aboard the first
' boat that came along, which happened to
!be the Fannie Patton. The purser, Mr
Church, was just as smiling and obliging
as ever. We took two meals on board
Bupper and breakfast. We are not very
fastidious in our gastronomic tastes : but
arc quite easily satisfied in such matters
But when we pay four bits for a meal, we
do expect to . have something near its e
quivalent set before us, whether we par
take of it or not; and having but recent
Jy been engaged in the hotel business, we
claim to know what a meal should be for
which , a half dollar is charged. The
breakfast furnished us, to which we have
tbove alluded-, consisted of a piece of very
ugh beef, cooked till it was dry and quite
asieless. We set it aside. The coffee
s black a tar -water, newly eold nd
without milk. We took a sip or two and
pushed it aside. Butter was rancid and
smelt like 4 nigger perspiring freely of a
hot day. After tasting it wo contented
ourself by merely pointing our case-knife
at it. Rolls were warm, but clammy and
too eour for our palate. Of vegetables
there were none except Irish potatoes.
These we had, first boiled, secondly fried,
and thirdly boiled, and fourthly fried a
great variety of murphys all will readily
admit. The waiters were slow, confused
and simpering. This was our breakfast.
We went before breakfast to the wash
room and washed, but oh! horror on top
of horror ! when we essayed to wipe we
found the towel as wet and dirty as a dish
rag. We suppose it safe to say that thir
ty to fifty poor pilgrims had used thatr tow
el that morning era we went to the wash
room for the purposes of ablation.
Why should this Company charge so
exorbitantly ? Why so much more than
in the States? Money there is worth 12
per cent per annum. It is about that in
Oregon. Steamboat hands there receive
$30 to $40 per month, and we are told
that is about what they get here. Fuel
there is worth $3 to $4 per cord; and it
worth no more here. Provisions are ac
tually cheaper here than there. The old
Willamette river is not nearly so difficult
and dangerous to navigate as the Missis
sippi and its tributaries ; besides it never
freezes sufficiently to impede navigation;
while the northern Mississippi and Mis
souri rivers,' for several weeks, and some
times months, are closed by ice ; and of
course the capital invested in boats nav
igating them is unproductive during this
ice-embargo. Again we demand : Why
should the People's Transportation Com
pany charge so much more for freight, or
passage than they do in the States ? It
may be said that there is not business e
nough to keep the boats fully employed.
But this is" untrue. They are loaded
down, a3 a general thing, each way, and
ordinarily have more . passengers than
they can comfortably accommodate.
The true solution to the question is this :
The People's Transportation Company are
heartless, soulless, monied monopoly
and true to the ancestral fame of all mo
nopolies, they pluck the public goose
while they can, because just now they
have the power.
But we trust this will not always be
true. Ihey may have no opposition this
year, nor next ; but they cannot expect
always to have things all their own way.
This coast is full of sharp-sighted capi
talists; and in due time they will see that
the Willamette river offers strong. induce
ments to them to invest some of their
capital in an opposition line. When the
steamship Montana first made her appear
ance at Portland, there were those who
prognosticated that she would soon be
hauled off for want of sufficient encour-
gement. But she etill continues in the
trade, and there is scarcely a citizen of
Oregon but is either directly or indirect-
y benefitted by the Montana. Long may
he wave!
We hope to live to see the day when an
opposition line of steamers on the Willam
ette will be in full and successful opera
tion. We here and now pledge ourself in
advance to do what we can to have it suit
ably encouraged by the public.
"Radicalism and Ruffianism."
a a recent scathing article under this
head on the many insults offered to the
resident during his tour, the Metropoli
tan Record says : "It is not surprising
that Radicalism has at last developed it
self into ruffianism. The idea upon
which it started was in conflict with or
der, and the teachings of its apostles led
inevitably to such results as the country
has lately witnessed. Hostility to the
Constitution, to established laws, to the
rights of the States, and to political in
dependence, formed the ground work up
on which the Black Republican party was
organized. It is not strange that, as the
party thus organized became strong, and
its leaders corrupted by the prolonged
possession of officejXit should finally be.
come what it is to-dav the head aud
heart to lawlessness and rascality. It
e
would be more strange to see such a party
elevatinj; itself to respectability. Evil
doctrines never lead to good results, and
the doctrines of the 'party of greal moral
ideas' were and are essentially evil."
Never. Pred. Douglas says that "he
stands forth just as God made him.", Wc
beg Fred's most humble pardon, says the
iew xorK uav J300K, but uou never
made him. God made white men and
negroes, but He never made mulattocs.
They are the origin of men's sins and
crimes and so distasteful is their exist
ence to the beneficent Creator of every
thing good, that he dooms them to cx
tinction. God will not even permit the
nondescript beings to .exist permanently
on His footstool, but in the third or fourth
generation, punishes them with annihila
tion.
We heard of a Yankee and his wife at
one of our hotels ihe other day, says the
Brenham (Texas) Banner, who had
brought a hired negro woman along to
wait on them. They told the worn;
that they would pay her regular wages
but that she would have to pay her own
board. Her wages were ten dollars
month, and her board twenty-five dollars
At such rates how long will it take the

What the Radical Xeaiiers Will Doi
A late number of the Oregon Herald
contains a letter from some correspondent,
from which we extract the following
"Our country is about to pass a terriblo ordeal.
It is evideut ta me that th is coming Congress .is
about to ro-cnact the scenes of Cromwell in Ire
land, and the scenes of Hobespterre, Danton and
Marat in i ranee, and inaugurate in this country an
otherreign of terror. First, it will impeach the
President, depose him, appoint some one of their
lavoritos to act ae President, and perhaps Aan
Mr. Andrew Johnson. Then they will establish
negro suffrage in the Southern States. Then they
will appoint a commission to try Confederate offi
cers for treason," convict and hang them and con
fiscate their property. They will then disfranchise
all who were in any way connected with the Con
federate cause, and confiscate the Southern land
under the pretext of paying the expenses of the
war. Then they will invite the negro to insurrec
tion and lay the blume on the whites, appoint an
other conimission to try those acoused of participa
tion in the riots ; then more hanging of white
men, more confiscation of lands and more dis
franchisement. Then they will accuse prominent
Northern men of treason, appoint eotnmissieners
to try "Northern : traitors," hang the richest of
them and confiscate their property, and commit the
poorest of them to hostile. Then they will com
mence a crusade against the Mormons, acer.se
them of treason agaiustthe Federal authority, try,
convict and hang their rich men and confiscate
their property. Then commcnee a crusade against
the Catholics, accuse them of conspiring against
the Government, appoint commissioners to try,
convict and hang the Bishops, Priests and rich
laymen, ami confiscate their property, and dis
franchise all Catholics. In the meantime the
Frtedmcn's Bureau will be working the Southern
negroes and pocketing the proceeds of their labor."
Whoever he may, be, we agree with
this writer. We believe that the Radical
leaders are aiming to produce all these re
sults; and that if they do not it will be
because of their being checked by a pow
er greater than their own. The future
peace and quietude of this' country de
pends greatly on Andrew Johnson. We
are about to pass through another terrible
ordeal. ' lias Johnson the requisite nerve
and couraee for the occasion ? Those
who know him best claim that he has.
We shall probably soon see whether this
confidence in him is justifiable. Under
the leadership of Stevens, Wade, Sum
ner and Bingham, Congress we have no
doubt will attempt to impeach the Presi
dent. Of course if they attempt to im
peach they will be successful not because
he is guilty at all, but because so corrupt
and unprincipled a Congress will find the
meaus wherewith to convict him, whether
uihy or innocent. His conviction and
execution are a foregone conclusion ; and
Johnson once out of the way all the other
results, so correctly depicted by the Her
ald's correspondent, will naturally and in
evitably follow. The Civil War through
which we have passed, although suffi
ciently terrible and bloody, will be as
nothing when compared with that which
will thus be inaugurated; because that
wa3 a war between sections, while this
will be a war between individuals nnd
mmunities a war something like that
which, during the last six years, has
fpread havoc and desolation throughout
the State of Missouri.
We hope Johnson will have the cour
age cf a Jackson. , A large majority of
the whole people of the United States are
with Johnson, and they would sustain
him in any policy of his own and their
self-preservation he might see proper to
adopt, whether it should be to seize- and
imprison the ring-leaders of the faction
opposed to him, or the more summary
and just punishment of hanging them up
by the neck until they are dead, dead,
dead, A bold and successful coup d'etat,
on the part of President Johnson, is all
that will save our countrv from all the
horrors of 'another bloody Civil War.
Magnanimity. The Radicals, says
he Santa Clara Argus, have expunged
the word which- heads this parasrranh
a w a
rom their vocabulary, and eradicated the
virtue it represents from their . hearts, if
ever it had a place there. They speak
sneeringly of the desire expressed by
w a
Southern men that the past should be
forgotten, and that fraternity and union
should be cultivated between the North
and the South, declaring their willingness
to accept the situation and "let bygones
be by-gones." The Radicals affect to
think that the South has nothing to for
give, but everything to be forgiven. The
devastation of their homes and their im
poverishment, in the eyes of the fanatics
are nothing in comparison with the hein
ousness of their attempting to set up s
government of their own and failing'to
do so, when, had they succeeded, the
world would have characterized their
achievement as grandly glorious ! Had
our Revolutionary sires succumbed to the
power of George III, it is painful to con
template how enormous would have been
their criminality in the eyes of modern
loyalty.

"When President Johnson was on his
late trip in the West, a Uuited States
Senator and two Major i Generals of the
army, who belonged to his party were ap-
proached at Indianapolis ,by a prominent
conservative Republican, who had been
Colonel of an Indiana regiment during the
war, and who is now a Captain in the
regular service, and irbo made the touow
irfg startling statement : He had been
making speeches for the Republicans in
Indiana, in August last, and at the request
of Governor Fletcher, of Missouri, visited
that State and made one or two conserva
tive speeches.
"He was told by Governor Fletcher
that his speeches . were too tame that
the most radical of declaration"! were
wanted in Missouri j that the people must
be told that the Republicans had decided
that the Rebels should not vote : and that
the State was to be carried by force of
arms if necessary. Governor r letcher al
so told him that he had 80,000 muskets
in the State in loyal hands, and that they
should be used if necessary to carry the
State. The Indianian told Governor
Fletcher that he was a Republican in
la . 1 - . f
principle, but did not approve ot sucn
measures aud would not advocate them.
Governor Fletcher thought him merely
weak-kneed, and answered him that he
would come into the harness after a
bile.
"A few nights subsequently he was
present on invitation at a secret meeting
f Radical leaders at the Lindell Hotel.
About fifty prominent radicals were pres
ent, including Gov. lleteher ot Missouri.
Gov. Oglesby, of Illinois, and Senator
ates ot Illinois, lhe whole plan ot the
mpeachment of the President was dis-
ussed, even to the arrangements of fili
ng Washington with the armed foree of
Boys in Blue to protect Congress, and
Uo to decide who should succeed John
son in case Vice President Foster, as his
successor, should not prove equally posi
tive, and pliable to the will ot the Jacob
us.
'Butler, Governor Morton of Indiana,
and others were discussed. Butler was
ooked upon as lacking courage, and Mor
ton was feared as being too ambitious for
the purposes of the conspirators. Gene
ral Grant was mentioned as too conserva
tive, and Sherman was accounted as a
Copperhead. Finally Senator Yates was
ecided upon as possessing more stamina
nd less scruple than any other available
man. It I'resident Johnson ottered seri
ous resistance, and Foster did not act
igorously, Yates was to be put in to con
trol affairs. .
''When he was about leaving St. Louis.
the informant in the case was requested by
Governor Fletcher to ask Governor Mor
ton, of Indiana, what number of arms he
could spare to missouri. Governor Mor
ton replied when the message was deliver
ed, that he could not say that he had any
to spare: that there were about one hun
dred thousand stand, with pleuty of ara
muuition iu the arseual; he would see
what could be spared, and confer with
Governor Fletcher.
"Out of this correspondence grew the
conference of the Governors at Philadel
phia, which, it is now well known, was for
the purpose, among others, of distributing
arms throughout the country. Uutsiue
of the statement of this officer there is
ndubitable evidence iu the bauds of
'resident Johnson of thr secret ditriu-
tion of large quantities of arms throughout
the Northwest on various pretexts, allot'
which, however, are legal aud plausible
enough.
"While the startling character of this
story causes U to be iuerdulously received
by many, the character of the officer muk-
ng the statement, the known desperate
characters of the leaders implicated in the
scheme, and much corroborative evidence
received, cause it to be generally believed
among the President's adherents.
"The actual facts regarding the rumor
ed resignation of Secretary Stanton are
about as follows: He is now encased in
making out his report, and as soon as it
is finished he will undoubtedly retire.
His resignation has been precipitated bv
by the discovery lately made that Mr.
Stanton has filled nearly all the vacancies
n the regular army without the knowl
edge or assent of Mr. Johnson.
"He has been for some time making out
the commissions and forwarding them to
the appointee's, with orders to them to re
port to Gen. Grant for duty. Gen. Grant
g them, as appeared from the
face of their paper?, duly appoiuted by
the President, has assigued them to duty,
and they are now at service without the
knowledge of the President. On learning
this fact, the President, very angry, sent
for Mr. Stanton and demanded an explana
tion. The result was. the retirement of
Mr. Stanton as soon as he could make out
his report, on which he is now engaged.
Almost a Prophet. The National
Intelligencer says, "Mr. Calhoun, so far
back as 1837, proclaimed a great truth
when he said :
'Emancipation itself would not satisfy
these fanatics; that gained, the next step
would be to raiso the uegroes to a social
and political equality with the whites, and
that being effected, we should find the
present condition of the two races re
versed. They' and their Northern mas
ters would be the masters, and : wo the
slaves ; the condition of the white race
in the British West India Islands, as bad
as it is, would be happiness to ours ; thero
the mother country is interested in sus
taining the supremacy ot the race.
If Mr. Calhoun had been a prophet
he oould not more exaotly predicted what
is now taking place."

that Butler broke open General Albert
Sidney Johnson's tomb in search of inon-
ey. it is true that he stole sixty thou

sand dollars in cold from the Smith
Brothers, for he has only lately been
compelled to reluctantly disgorge it. It
is equally true that by theft, and by trad-

with food and other means to enable them
to fight against the Federal army, he and
bis brother amassed enormous fortunes.
Trouble with Tubkey. A. serious
embroglio in our relations with the Divan
has arisen, as follows : Sarki3 Minasian,
who has for many years acted as the resi
dent atrent in Turkey for the sale pf Dr.
J. C Ayer's medicines, driven bv the in
crease of" his business to a necessity for
more room, built his warehouse in Con
stantinople several stories higher, after
having obtained the necessary permit from
the authorities. The Inmans of a neigh
boring mosque, which overlooked the
premises, demanded a large present in
money, which was refused. They then
applied to the Grand Yirer, for the en
forcement of an obsolete law, which had
been disregarded two hundred years, re
quiring him to take down the building to
eighteen feet, which was granted, and
they commenced the work of demolition.
Minasian then applied to the American
Minister, who notified the Sublime "Porte
that American property could not be thus
trifled with, and that the demolition must
cease. Then commenced the usual
course of Mussulman prevarication . and
promises, but no real redress. Finally,
Minister 31 orris informed them that if
their depredations continued 'he should
order the U. S. ships of war to enter the
Bophorus, and Messrs. Ayer's medical
warehouse would not be alone roofless. A
stroke of his pen could have laid the en
tire city under the sweep of American
cannouT backed by men who are not
schooled in the lesions of fear. This
brought them to their senses and a speedy
redress. Minasian has now arrived in
this country, to present the case to our
State Department for indemnity. At
length it is something to say among the
peoples of the earth "I am an American
citizen 1" Columbia Republican.
"Powerfullymean," was the expression
used in the Eastern Express office in
Portland. Maine, when the head acci-
entallj fell out of one of three barrel?
of peas sent from Lowell. Massachusetts,
free, for the destitute Porthnders, and a
note also fell out requesting the consignee
to "sell for the most you can get and ljr-
ward the proceeds."

which place them beyond the reach of the public,
while the others are entirely new and have been
purchased at a large cost, ranging, from $5 to
$1,000 each. A person of ordinary tact can maka
from $o to $10 per day. in the manufacture and
sale ot tne articles, by almost any of niy rocipes.
