Gen. Halleck, at Richmond, has issued an
order that All railroads in the Department OF
Virginia, when no longer required for military
purpose will, with their rolling stock, machine
~ and materials, be turned over to the officers
of their respective companies, provided that
such officers have taken the oath OF allegiance
to the United States. But such delivery will
not prevent the forfeiture OF any stock in said
companies which may be owned by persons
who do not come within tn Re provisions OF the

gogues, but should perform its duty, and
stand up for good government, kind offices,
brothery attentions, civil neigl borhood, and
forgivness, as we ourselves hope to be forgiven
by the Great Judge.

A Dilemma Presented.

In the next Congress, soon to convene,
a curious dilemma will be presented IN
the case of Western Virginia. Early in
the war that portion of the State of Vir-
ginia was, in defiance of the express dec
l~aration of the Constitution, erected into a
separate State, and Senators and Repre-
sentatives from it we're admitted to seats
in Congress. The Administration now
maintains hat the "rebellious" States
have never been out of the Union. Agreea-
Ebly to this, the State of Virginia has al
the time preserved her place in the Union
Therefore, when she sends up her two
Senators to the ensuing Congress there is
no reason why they shall not be admitted
to seats in the Senate of the United States
Are the two Senators from Western Vir
ginia also to retain their seats? IF so, the
State of. Virginia will have four Senators
in Congress@two more than the Fedora
Constitution permits. The Administra
ton party must either perpetrate a grea
wrong in refusing to admit the regularly
chosen Senators from Virginia, OF violate
the Constitution, by admitting four sena
tors from that State, or repudiate theil
Iown act of creating the State of Western
Virginia. Which will they do? It is no
a two horned but a three prongod dilem
ma. In its solution the question must alst
occur-whether Congress can, by an Act
wipe a State out of existence. There il
in fact, ~agreeably to constitutional provis
ion, nc such State as Western Virginia; Blu
the party in power created and do recog
nize that State. Now they must c%ontinu,
to recognize it and thus give the actua
State of Virginia four Senators, or do vic
lence to their own past act, and declar,
the State of Western Virginia e%ntirel,
out of existence. They have a very snar
ly subject before them-a gordian kno
that cannot be united. Let US see if the,
will cut it.

We have diligently searched the last num-
Der of Mr.. O'Meara's Confederate Democrat,
and fail to find a word of r%evilement about
Secretary Stanton. We must be permitted
to express an unfeigned surprise at this, no
doubt, u~nintentional omission.|lOregoni
an, Oct. 18th.
1t is not because there was any lack of
material, anxious man. But we concluded
to rest awhile and introduce the testimony Of
Abolition witnesses to prove the infamy,
a~trocity and treachery of the distinguished
butcher who presides in the War Depart
ment. Therefore, if the 0regonian will look
upon the outside of this issue Of our g Con
federate'' Democrat, he will find what the
Hon. Montgomery Blair, and Mr.. j. II.
Browne afthe New York Tribune, say of Mr..
Stanton. They are eminent and noted mem
bers of the 0regonian'a W party. Does il
propose to impeach their testimony? They
simply corroborate what VI have charged
against the brutal Secretary.

Tl,e Daily siI Contract.


The Statesman is in favor Of subdivid-
ing the long route from Lincoln to Port
land into five or six contracts for carry
ing the mail. Has the Statesman really
given reflection to this subject? It is
one on which every person and every
journalist in the State ought to exercise
his Judgment or influence entirely free
from political or paA@san considerations.
The President of the California Stage
Company is a member Of the party III
power, but we think no less or no more
of the Company for this reason. 1t is
only as faithful mail contractors we care
to consider any of the Company; their
political sentiments have nothing to do in
the premises. We trust this is also the
position of the Statesman and it's fellow
organs in the State. And now VIC ask,
does it believe the service can possibly
he performed as well by five Or six differ
ent contractors, as by one contractor
EXPERIENCE and common sense alike an
swer, no Out of the five or six, one OF
more might fail in a faithful performance
of duty, and the failure of a single one
would for greater or less time interfere
with and obstruct the performance Of
the others. Then there would frequently
occur difficulties, perhaps wranglings OF
combinations among some of the con
tractors, TO retard the mails, to slight
their duties, or to break down an objec
tionahle co-contractor. And it would
not be easy always to speedily enough
trace out the delinquencies or wrongs
Justice might at last be done as between
the parties; but nothing could ever com
pensate the thousands who depend upol
the mails for the injury or loss sustained
by their temporary obstruction or stop
page. There are other potent reasons
why the contract ought not to be let il
subdivisions. but let these suffice now
In the case of a single route. if any OBJ
struction or failure Of the mails occur
there is no difficulty in at once ascertain
ing where and upon whom the response
lbility rests It cannot be shirked q
upon some other contractor And bette
means can be taken to assure dispatcl
and faithful service over a route entirel
under the control of one head, than ca
be expected where there are sewers
heads, with separate and perhaps cor
hicting rival interests, to control. Man
are better than one to counsel, but one
much better to execute han many ca
be. This principle governs in this yer
/ matter.
What we all want is a safe, quick
faithful mail service. This the Calfol
MIA Company has for over five years give
US. Is it not better to continue in ser,
ice the faithful one than to essay the e,
pertinent of trusting to h~alf-a-doze
! strange hands, the failure or non-pel
formanee of any one of whom may caus
| delay or temporary stoppage to all th
: rest. aud indict serious annoyance or rea
], loss upon those who depend upon th
{ mails for their business correspondent,
remittances, and valuable papers, to sa
nothing of ordinary letters and printe
e matter? We think it is, and hence "
favor the single contract plan, and spea
e in favor of the California Stage Compan
as the best contractors for the service.

1t is stated that Maximilian wrote a letter

Lincoln, over his official signature as Empcr-
n of Mexico, which President Johnson re-
fused to receive, on the ground that he knew
40 such parsonage as the Emperor of Mexi-
e.-LRastern paper.
The event related above must have oc-
drred some months ago. Things have
hanged since then. Now, President
ohnson recognizes " such a parsonage as
me Emperor of Mexico" and further:
recognizes Macmillan as that Emperor
He wa elected or a platform pledged tc
