From the Spirit of Jefferson
Our status.

We have seen q copy of the bill in
chancery which Judge Curtis has pre-
pared to contest the validity of the
transfer of LETTERS IN and Berkely coun.
ties to the State of West Virginia. The
two main points urged in the bill are
first; that the act of the Legislature,
preliminary to the transfer, requiring an
election to be held fol the purpose OF
asc ertainiug the sense of the voters of
the counties, was not complied with
inasmuch as the el4ctisn was not held at
time when it could be ''fairly and prop
erly held" and as polls were not opened
at leach of the elect ion precincts" in the
counties; second, that at the time of the
passage of the repeating act of the Legis
lature in Decembrr last, there was no
valid, subsisting contract between the
two States, and that therefore the Legis-
lature had the legal right to repeal
which being done, Congress had no con-
stitutional power to pass its act of con-
sent.
On the first of these propositions. the
Judge intends 10 take testimony. In re.
gard to Jefferson, this testimony will
disclose beyond ali doubt, that the cleo
ton was held at time when it was
impossible for the voters to at
tend such polls rs were opened,
owing to military occupancy that
the people living south of the Balti-
more 81 Ohio railroad were never notified
of the election; that no polls were opened
at either Charlestown, Kabletown, or
Middleway; and, ia fact, polls were
opened at only tWo of the eight election
nj for fo An
pie are perfectly familiar, and 80 indeed
was Congress at the time the matter was
before it,
The bill does not raise. any question of
the validity of Il y government of Re
stored VII sinia, or "f West Virginia. The
Judge is clearly OF the opinion that the
other feat ures of t'!e case are sufficient
for any fir court 10 pronounce Judgment
against the transit, of the two counties.
We viii await, tn no little curiosi-
ty, the answer WI 'oh West Virginia is
