At a Stand Still.


About q month or six weeks since we maoe
mention of the fact that the California >Sise
Company IS contract for carrying the mails De-
tween Lincoln and Portland had expired, anu
that special mail agent Gaskill had entered INTO
an arrangement with them TO continue the ser
vice until the new Observation-Disclosures
make the necessary arrangements for assuming
the performance Of the service. Mr. Gaskill was
unable to communicate with the Department at
the time, owing to Indian difficulties on the
Plains, but stipulated with the Stage Company
to carry the mails until he was further advised
in the matter. In this way things went on until
the 18th of this month, when the postal agent
received the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON Septemher 6. IS65--945. p.
r. Ga- apScS Asn' EN- Post @ oGe lee at n
California Company j. rejected by the
Lincoln Portland that temporarily, cost not
exceeding forty thousand dollars per annum
GEORGE ". MCCLELLAN.
Second Assistant Postmaster General.
The consequence Of this announcement was
that the Stage Company Immediately discontin-
ued the mail service. The eastern mail, ny the
Colorado, which arrived last Saturday, was
brought as far as Lincoln, and there it remains.
The stage on Wednesday night brought mail
matter from below Marysville, and all comnuni-
cation beyond Shasta is for the present at an end.
The contract of the Stage Company for perform
ing the mail service between this place and Shasta
is separate and distinct from the overland con-
tract does not expire until next March, and we
will No. cna1o
What the instructions of the Department in
re gard to a weekly mail contract will amount to,
we know not, but will venture to express the
opinion that a mai! once a week between Lincoln
and Portland would most of the time require
half dozen four-horse teams for each trip Even
with daily line it almost impossible to
keep the mail matter from :. iammng. We are
not without hope that the daily mail between
Lincoln and Portland will be continued, and
agree with the Marysville 4ppedl in the following
suggestions
1t will probably be necessary for the people to
take public action in relation to this matter.
Public meetings should be Immediately called in
every city and town on the route, and the pro-
ceedings forwarded to Washington. If con~id-
cred necessary special agent of the people
should be selected to carry on to Washington
these proceedings. These meetings could be
strance on its way to Washington in three weeks
What say the press of Northern California
Shall the people write a big letter to Postmaster
General Denniston? Shall such public meetings
be held If they are to be held. the quicker the
better. Let move or give up the daily mali.
