DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
Washington, D. O., Jan. Is. 1869.
SIR 81 have received your letter oi
the 11th instant, rsking that certain maps
fled by j. CASTOR, Esq, under the acl
approved July 25, 1866, as showing the
location of the railroad from Portland. ia
Oregon, to the northern line of the State
Of California, may be accepted by this
department.
In reply, | have to state that, as there
are two companies under the same namc
claiming, under the laws of the State oil
Oregon, the benefit of the grant made By
said act of 1866, must decline, in the
absence of q judicial decision as to the
rights of the claimants, or some action
of Congress upon the subject, to comply
with your request.
Very respectfully, your obd't servant,
0. II. BROWNING, Secretary.
S. g. Reed, Esq,
Care Hon. II. W. Corbett, u. s. Senate
Looking at tho above decision Of the
Secretary of the Interior, and the action
of tho Oregon Legislature in 1868, taken
upon evidence submitted and arguments
mado by the respective companies, it il
evident that the State of Oregon is il
great danger, at least, Of losing the grant
altogether, without somc legislation in Of
feet reyiying it.
Congress ought not to decide between
the two companies, because the question:,
involved are judicial in their nature, and
the object of tho accompanying bill is t
provide so that both companies may have
standing in tho courts Of Oregon, and
there have their legal rights and equities
fully examined and adjudicated.
To declare by act Of Congress that the
East Side Company shall have the graz
would be unfair, for it may turn out up
on investigation before the courts thai
the West Side Company was legally des
ignated in 1866, IN which event that com
pany for aught that can now bc seen
would be entitled to tho land.
To declare by act of Congress that The
West Side Company shall have the gram
would be equally unfair, for it appears
that the East Side Company was organ.
ICED and made large expenditures upor
the ground that the other was never le
gally designated, and It ought to have
tho benefits and advantages Of tho law il
accordance with which it was organized
and invested its money.

DEPARTMENT or THE INTERIOR,
Washington, D. c., jan, 2s, 1869.
SIN :--l have received your letter oi
the 10Th instant and The accompanying
cory Of Senate Bill 776, TO amend IAN
act granting lands TO aid in the construc.
ton of railroad and telegraph line from
tho Central Pacific Railroad, in Califor.
MIA, to Portland, in Oregon, approved
July rs, 1885," with other papers relat-
ing TO the same subject.
Said act Of 1866 required the Legisla.
ture Of Oregon TO designate O company
organized under the laws of the State, to
locate aud construct so much Of said road
as was in Oregon. and that the company
so designated should Gle its assent to
tho act of Congress within one year after
It's passage.
BY resolution adopted BY tho Lcgis.
lature October IL, 1866, the Oregon Gen.
trail Railroad Company was designated to
locate and construct said road 10 Oregon.
Two companies called the "Oregon Cen.
trail Railroad Company" claim TO have
been so designated. These, it appears,
are locally called the EAST Side Com.
pany" and the "Wcst Side Company"
Al the date Of the adoption Of said
resolution By the Legislature, neither
company had been organized as required
by the laws of Oregon. The West Side
Company, however, fled its assent 10
this department within the year.
By resolution adopted by the Legis-
lature in October, 1868. the East Side
Company was designated. The purpose
of the bill, as understood. is to author re
this company 10 file It's assent" without
prejudice TO the rights or interests Of the
other company. aud you ask Tor an ex.

Is any necessity for the proposed lcgisla-
ton.
In reply, have the honor to state
that, as the case now stands, the grant.
so far as The portion Of the road In Ore
9on Is concerned, has iapsed, while the
grant for that part of the road situate 10
California is still in force, aud some legis.
la,ion by Congress is necessary to rovivc
the grant for the Oregon portion Of the
road.
The proposed bin, if il becomes Law,
will in my opinion accomplish that pur-
pose.
On the 18th instant, declined to act
upon maps 6lcd by the West Side Com
yany, "in the absence of judicial decis-
ion as TO the rights OF the claimants, or
some action Of Congress upon the sub.
ject." enclose copy of the letter.

HAVE STILL SoNxrHISG TO LEARN -
We are told that while IN this CITY some
members of the Wisconsin Party"
went in,o a saloon, when they produced
bottle of old rye, and obtniuing The
use of a number of glasses at the bar,
de iberateIy proceeded to take wet"
all round. We cannot vouch for the
truth of the story, but in case it was
true the Wisconsin f-llers" must have
had wholesome fear of tarantu!a. They
ought TO have gone of into some stable
or backyard to take their little nip. The
barkeeper Who furnished them with the
glasses has not yet recovered his senses,
and it is thought that it will be neces-
sary to send him 20 Stockton. He says
be never before had his feelings SO
shocked.

UNIFORM CITIZENSHIP AND UNI

The late terrible wars indicated our
nationality. Uniform citizenship is es'
tabIished from the Atlantic to the Pa.

formed. Suffrage must be made uniform
also, and this will be doue BY the FIT
reenth Amendment, which reads as fol-
lows,
ARTICLE 6-SEc. l. The right of the cit
liens to vote shall not be denied or abridged
b. the United States, or BY any State, on &C.
count of race. color OF BY previous condition
of servitude.
SEC. 2. The Congress shall have power to
enforce this article BY appropriate legisla-
tim.
In spite Of predictions to the con
trsry, the foregoing amendment will be
ratified by tue next Legislature, and the
vote Of Tennessee will be recorded for
the FIfteeuih ss II was for the Four
teeuth Amendment.
IL nas been objected that States hos
tile to colored suffrage can evAde the
Fifteenth Amendment by establishing n
property or intelligence qualification.
As these qualifications would disfrau-
chise as many whites as colored persons,
not oniy in the South. but 10 many OF
the Northern States, there is no lkelI-
hood that n qualification of Intelligence
or property ~iil be required for u num

the amendment would take the suffrage
question out of The arena af Stale poli-
