THE CUMBERLAND ROAD.


A debate of some length took place
yesterday in the House Of Delegates
on the subject ofreceiving that part Of
the Cumberland Road, which lies
within the limits of Virginia. In 1882
an act was passed aulhorising the
Board of Public Works to receive The
portion aforesaid, on certain condi'
lions, and erect toll-gates thereon, to
keep it in repair. Congress, at the
session just closed, passed an act max
Jog a further appropriation for the
Road, and the Secretary of War in
formed the Governor of his readiness
TO make the surrender, and Of the de-
sign to lay out the money appropria'
ted, under his authority.
The communication having been re.
ferred to the committee on roads, 6
joint resolution was reported, author
izing proceedings in relation thereto
Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Brown thought il
involved the constitutional question a:
to the right of Congress to appropriate
money to road within Virginia. Mr.. b
offereda substitute, the tenor oil wha
we cannot now state from memory
Mr.. Johnson and Mr.. Colston oppos'
ed the substitute and supported the O.
riginal resolution of the committee.
The substitute being adopted, Mr.
Colston moved the indefinite postpone
men, Of the whole subject, which was
carried. So matters stand as they
were.-Ib. of March IL.

House, Tha, there is no Inconsistency
between the facts stated by the Gov
ernor and those stated by the Auditor,
respecting the revenues Of the Com
monwealth, in their communications to
the General Assembly; that the state
ments by each, in the obvious sense in
which they were made, and have since
been explained by them, are correct.
Resozved, That as it was not refer
red to the committee to examine the
reasoning employed BY the Governor,
or TO ascertain the cause of the facts
stated by him !; and as it is not becom-
ing this House, at this time, and in this
manner, to institute such an invesliga-
ton, the committee be discharged from
