IEFrERsorr ANp eRnYpLEY.

The Richmond Di,putek, in announcing
the passage by the House of Representatives,
of the'bill transferring tEess, two counties to
West Virginia. says: "We regret the fact ;
but as Virginia has no power to prevent its
accomplishments there is an end Of the mat,
tcr".
Virginia has power to attempt to prevent
the accomplishments of this outrage, and should
not let congressional action end the matter:
She should, without further delay, By her
Legislature, order the proper legal pruceed-
iugs to beiustituted to test the question before
the Supreme Court; and make appropriation
of sufficient money to employ the ablest legal
cOunsel-sueh as Reverdy johnson. The
people of-these counties are entitled to have
state-actiOn on the subject, and the Legisla.
tsre should order it promptly. -

THE WAY WAS DONE.

The torty-eight counties which make the
State of West Virginia, at the gubanatorial
election in 1864, cast some eighteen thou
SAnd four hundred votes, every one of which
was given to that distinguished lawyer, of
the fifth degree, from Petersburg, Arthur
l. Borsman. The counties of Boone, Brax-
ton, Calhoun, Greenbrier, Hardy, Logan.
Mercer, Monroe, Mcdowell, PeudletoD, Ra-,
leigh, Webster and Wyoming, according to
the authority before US, were not guilty Of
any participation in this miserable farce
they cast no vote for Foreman. or for any
other candidate for the place These forty
eight counties have voting population of
upwards of 50, 900 votes. In the presidcn-
tial election of 1850, they cast about AZ, 900
votes. Boreman's vote shows the West Vir>
ginia strength at the time of the creation of
that State. The course of legislation has
gained it no recruits, but the contrary. We
believe if the question of going back to the
old State was presented TO the white males
Of legal voting age, an iEsmense majority
would be found to favor q restoration to the
old limits. Boreman, according to the same
authority, received 265 votes in Jefferson .!
This is certainly news to us; but we pre-
sumo it to be the correct " returns" Where
these votes were cast, or who cast then, is
entirely unknown to US. We were here at
home at the time, and never heard that il.
was even contemplated to hold such election :;
aud like thatheld to transfer our county, we do
not believe that it was known to dozen men
outside Of Shepherdstown aud Harpers-Fer-
~. We Wenld like to see the list of these
voters, and publish their names for the ben
st Of our readers.
This whole West Virginia affair has been
. base cheat upon the people who inhabit it,
aad upon those of the State Of Virginia
Ihs creation had no warrant either IA Fede-
Jsl OF State Constitution. Even had the leg
isEature Of restored Virgins" been The only
lawful legislature of the State it had no 9TH
e. powers than those granted by the Consti-
tuition of the State, and we look in vain to
Gbat instrument to find any authority for
granting away any portion of the domain of
6he Csa,Rlonwealth. The time, the number
Of xsAss, and all the circumstances of that
transfer, show beyond all dispute, that West
VirEinia owes its existence to no legal right,
20 DO will of the people, but to . deliberate
AIsn1 npou both.

A cRUMB or coMToRr.

Upon the subject of the status of Jefferson,
in which our readers are more deeply in
terested than in all others, we are disposed
to take comfort from any and everything
which indicates sense of the obligations
resting upon the nenEbsrs of Congresses
pccially SO since the hasty and unfair action
of the House of Representatives, and We
therefore read with much pleasure, and no
little hope Of its turning out true prophecy
the following portion of a letter frcm Wash
ington to the Alexandria Gazette:
From an interviewwhich we have had
with one of the moro reasonable of the radi-
cal members of Congress, We think that the
Senate does not intend to recognize the per-
manent ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Virginia. He
said that it is too unconstitutional, and that
to erect two States of one would be secession
in its most uaipabie' f0rRH and in direct vio-
lation of the Constitution"
If this is true of the erection of the origi-
nal State of West Virginia, as we have al
ways believed it to be, how much more so is
it of the transfer fthis county to that State !?
The Legislature of Virginia had no power
given it by the State Constitution to give away
any portion of the State to another; the un-
constitutional bill of gift was not complied
with in any of its most material conditions
the people were nearly unit in opposition
to the transfer; and, after the bill was re-
pealed, Congress had no authority whatever
to act upon the matter There is not one
single feature in the whole project of trans
fer that will stand the test of either Federal
or State Constitution; and if there is a dis
position in the Senate to throw aside parti-
! zanship, and act only with reference to law
and justice, this transfer can never receive
the sanction of that body.

THADEUs REPUp1ArEo.

At recent election fer MAJOR in Lancas-
ter, Pa. the home of the notorious Thadeus
Stevens, the Democratic Candidate was elect
ed by majority of ITO. We hope this re-
suit may be regarded as an Indication Of the
returning good sense of the Northern people,
and that wh=n they have another opP"rsani-
ty to vote for congressman, they will leave at
home the radicals who now unworthily in~
habit the halls of Congress. The Lancaster
htelLigenccr says that every effort was put
forth to carry that city, as an endorsement Of
Stevens radical course.

THE coNeRBss1oMAL TEST oArz

It seems to be now generally conceded that
Congress does not intend to act upon Thad-
deus Stevens proposition to. abolish the, test
oath so far as the lawyers are concerned. It
is also conceded that the Supreme Court has,
either unanimously or nearly SO, come to the
conclusion that this oatfis insiolation Of the
Constitution. and that the prennnciasion of
this decision has been delayed to await this
congressional action we sincerely hope that
no further delay will oseurAthat the Court
viii at once Deliveries opinion. TIE country
looks anxiously to this august tribunal and
has the firm faith that it il. not 70. be swayed
by the partisanship ofthe day. s

FEDERAL RELATIONS OF VIRGINIA.

In the'SeDate of TiTgis on the LIST inst. :,
Senator Keen presented che following joint
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted:
Resoived, By the General AsSen.LLv of
Viryi'tiu, That the people of this e, lnlnon-
wealth aud their Representatives here az
semblcd, cordially approve the course Of pol
icy pursued by Auurew johnson, Presidents
OF the United States, in reference to the re-
construction OF the Union. We abide tho
issue Of the late contest. We do not desire
to rvuew what has been so cOnciusireIy de-
termiued, nor do we IIezn TO permit any one
subject to our cUutrOl to attempt its renewal.
or to violate any of our obligations % tho
United States Government. In the wise,
firm and just action that Andrew johnson
has commenced, we must cooperate with all
the energy aud power which we can devote
to what Is obviously the cause of liberty and
repose III all our borders
Resoloed, That knowing as we do the above
declaration represents the universal sentiment
aud purpose Of our people, We perform a du-
ty to ourselves and to the people of Virginia,
when we denounce as crael aud criminal as
saHlts upon our character and our interests.
the efUrts Of those who promote evil designs
by representing our views and intentions to
be different from those which we here as
sert. That we have in our midst persons who.
find their interest temporarily promoted by
such a VOufse of Misrepresentation, is one oS
the misiOrtu4es of our present political con-
ditiOD.g 70 the intelligence aud integrity Of
those who rule the powers of the United
States gOyernmen. We look for our safeguard
and protection against malign influences.

DEPOT AoENT.-Dr. John D. Starry has
been appointed Depot Agent for Charles
town, and We presume will enter upon his
duties so soon as the necessary buildings can
be erected. The w. & p. road is now in
tine running order, making two trips daily as
regular in time as clock work. The landings
at the Depot are intolerable, and were it not
that Messrs. Warner and SPOTS have made
crossings to their respective places of bust
ness, passengers by rail would mire in
the mud on landing, before they could
reach terra-frma. We think it is due to
the travelling public that the company
should make a small appropriation to have
the crossings paved.

The persecution of Col. Mosby, will we
hope, now cease. The Alexandria G0zeite,
of Saturday, says: "Mrs. John S. Mosbv,
who has been in this city several days seek
ing for her husband, from the authorities in
Washington, the privileges accorded to other
paroled prisoners of war, has returned to her
home in Warrenton, having succeeded in Oh.
tanning from Gen. Grant the object of her
visit. The papers given to the Colonel hold
good until revoked by the President"

Amendments to the Constitution, proposed
by Congress, do BOT require the sanction of
the President; nor are they subject to his
veto. They can only be proposed by two
thirds of each branch Of Congress, and when
ratified by three ros5ihs of the States they
are valid. So says Msns6eld's Po4itical
Mammal
