VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND.
From the Baltimore american.

STATE BOUNDARY LINTON Thurs
day, the Joint Committee in the Mary
land Legislature made report on the
subject ofthe disputed boundaries, on
our western and southern frontier
between this State and Virginia. The
report complains in sharp terms of the
course of proceedings adopted by the
Legislature Of Virginia, in relation to
the controversy;-"a course" say the
Committee "heretofore unknown in a
matter of dispute between States who
sincerely desire continuance offriend-
ly relations, and which cannot be al.
lowed by this State without loss of her
reputation and dignity" The report,
resolutions and other papers heretofore
adopted by the Maryland Legislature,
were dul Y Transmitted to that of Virgin.
ia through the proper functionaries.
Strong resentment is expressed at the
"arroganco" with which that State,
"without denying one single fact" and
without any argument to confute or
overturn any one of our POSITIONS" has,
by solemn act ofthe Legislature closed
the door of negotiation, and determin.
ed that the boundaries in question
will not be settled unless we permit her
to be "the sole arbiter and Judge"
A recapitulation of the facts and ar.
guments upon which Maryland relies
to establish her claim, is made in the
report. They are substantially the
same, that have been published in this
paper onSeveral occasions-with one ad-
dltional document, ofimportance, which
has been discovered in the Land Office,
since the publication of the report in
1921. 1t is the report made to Cover
nor Eden in 177l, by one of the Com.
mssloners, who surveyed the bounda.
ry, and who placed the fountain" in

land to belong, according to the true
construction of the charter. The re.
port of the Joint Committee concludes
that as Virginia has ''disregarded all
our friendly overmres of arbitration,
and will have nothing to do with us,
except upon her own terms, and these
are found contrary to Justice, and the
equity IL right ofthe matter" her man.
ner forblds on our part any further
approach to her except by adversary
proceedings" They therefore recon.
mend in accompanying resolutions, the
institution of a suit against the State
OF Virginia in the Supreme Court of
the United States, for the settlement of
the boundary-the suit to be discontin.

part in any such deliberations.
awe do not understand that any
measures were matured at this time.
From the Correspondent Of the Portland Adv.
WAsHINGTON, Feb. 16, 1884.
| came to the conclusion this morn
ing that nothing Of interest would arise
in either House Of Congress to-day, for
Mr.. wilkins is not remarkable as an
orator ora thinker-but we had a scene,
which was interesting and e1 citing e.
nough. MIR. wilkins head is not so
clear as il might be, though he is fu-
ent and not unpleasant speaker-and
in some of his illusions he quoted some
harsh phrase which he attributed TO the
gentleman from Massachusetts,.
Webster was engaged writing, but,
hearing Massachusetts" pricked up
his ears, and asked his neighbo.rs what
Mr.. Wilkins had said. They told
him, and when Mr.. Wilkins had de.
scended from the Eighty period in which
he was soaring Webster exclaimed in
terogatively, in low tone, "the gen.
tleman from Massachusetts, eyes,
the gentleman from Massachusetts, :"
reiterated Wilkins: whereupon Web
ster's face began to lengthen, and his
cloudy brow to lower. "You are mis-
taken, sir, | did not make use of any
such words" was the reply. 81 noted
it down at the time" was the retort of
Wilkins.
81 cannot help it," replied Webster
"the words are not mine" Wilkins
persisted, Webster disclaimed where.
upon a scene arose, and verbal scuf-
file, and combatants grew angry.
Webster looked like thundercloud,
and Wilkins as mad MS bull dog. Will
kins held on, and Webster called him
to order. In the midst Of this, Will
kins quoted from Southland, and South
ard said he chad never said any such
thing"--whereupon the Senate and
spectators all laughed outright, all but
Webster and wilkins, who went al it
again, and were coming to an angrier
issue,-and the ladies of course were
threatening to faint, when Mr.. Clay
volunteered his services as pacfcator,
and he came in with his soft oily voice,
and with face full Of smiles hushed
the storm--calmed the waves and
brought Wilkins to a disclaimer in
part, with which MI. Webster was sa-
tisfied.
This over he left his own scat, went
into the area, and advanced towards
Wilkins seat, and in a voice quite au-
dible, pleasantly said, "Wilkins if you
want to draw upon any of the Senate
for harsh phrases, draw upon me: III
honor the draft" Wilkins of course
was amused with this: good temper
was restored. Wilkins went on with
speech, and Webster with his letter.
