WASHINGTON, May THE case of
the State of Virginia rerSlLS West vir-
ginia, involving the right Of the latter
State to the counties Of Jefferson and
Berkeley, through which the Baltimore
q Ohio Railroad runs, came up in the
Supreme Court yesterday, and was ar
gued by Mr.. Hunter for the old, and
Mr.. Ben, Stanton for the new State.
The argument will be closed Tomorrow
by Judge Curtis, on the part OF Vir-
gtnia, and Reverdy johnson on the
part of West Virginia. The case ex-
cites much interest in legal circles, in
volving the validity of Gov. Peirpoint's
Alexandria Government, and Its right
to act for the State Of Virginia during
the rebellion, and consequently the
legality Of its action ceding these.coun.
ties, as also the question whether Vir.
ginia Is sufficiently a State In the Union
to bring such a suit.

tIon Case.
From he zdnesrille Courier

From The ZdneTriHe Courier.
The taking of testimony in the Della
no-Morgan Contest has progressed far
enough to assure the result. A major
ity OF the legal votes cast in the 18th
District last fall were cast by Union
men, and Hon. Columbus DeIano was
fairly reelected to Congress. This Is
already proven by the evidences taken,
and plenty OF votes TO spare.
It is also considered by many as
conclusiyely proven that Gen. Morgan
resorted TO such bribery and corrup-
tion In endeavoring to secure his cleo
ton as to disqualify himself from hold
Ing the office and under the statutes of
the State render himself ineligible to
the office for two years. This Is a thing
honest-minded men should ponder
deeply and II the action OF Congress
justihes the statement, as we think It
will, we leave 1t with every honest
minded man to settle with his own
conscience whether he can ever again
support aparty that countenances such
doings.
The most outrageous frauds were per-
petrHted in COshOcton county-A coUn-
ty, by the way. in which If there could
be strictly fair election, the Union
men would carry 1t by handsome ma
jority. AS a sample we refer TO Linton
township. The election returns from
that precinct were, Morgan 200; Delano
100. The tedious process of qualifying
every voter in the township as to who
he voted for, gives the sworn showing

were Democratic votes, while the Union
men md . more voters who swear thew
did vote for Delano, than the same

the same county, Union votes were
thrown away by sworn Democratic
Judges and Democratic votes substitute
ed. In other townships Of the same
county the Morgan importations from
Bingham's District were voted, amount
ing in all to some rs or 100 votes. In
this county about 20 fraudulent votes
have already been shown, besides cir

The Paris correspondent Of the New

can contributions to the Paris EXPOSE
ton:
And it must not be forgotten that
we, too, exhibit in the Park. We have
n schoOl-hOuse-an Illinois school,
house-a cheerful chunk OF building,
with nice, straight lines in every direc-
ton, and brilliant and beautiful shin
giles on the roof and gorgeous white
paint to relieve the eye. Why this
treasure was sent to Paris Is mystery
which agitates the common mind. In
the Immediate vicinity 1t is possible to
obtain a glance OF the architectural
condition OF the world, but there Is
nothing which can approach in pure
simple ugliness this singular piece of
Western enthusiasm. Regarded as "A
box it may have Its uses, and indeed
for saving pennies, by dropping them
down the chimney, It is commodious
and practical. COntrasted with the
work Of other nations II looks like a
Joke, and a bad one. II 1t served any
useful purpose It would be different.
But il does not. No one pretends that
such a shanty Is q part Of the ineyita-
BILE machinery OF common school edu-
cation. The youngsters OF New York
are taught twice as well in buildings
that are not half as ugly. However,
there II Is, and all the world wonders,
In the immediate vicinity, and impart-
ing a son and graceful charm TO the
scene, Is the Boston Cracker Factory,
and not far od-smiling cOngenially on
all-is the American Restaurant and
Bar-room. There Is another building
called a Southern Planters Home,
which Is progressing slowly. None Of
these establishments are finished, and
OF the last It Is barely possible
TO form an idea; except that so far II
does not resemble anything that the
subscriber has seen in America.

IMPORTANT GEOLOGICAL DISCOVERY.
AT the annual meeting ofthe Swedish
Academy OF Science, NJ. NordensioId
announced that a discovery of great i'm
portance to geological science had been
made in the hill OF Nullaberg, in Swe-
den. A large deposit OF bituminous
gneiss, thirty-three metres In thickness,
has been found imbedded in layers OF
gneiss and mica schist. Its composed,
In addition to feldspar, quartz and
mica, OF n black substance like coal,
containing carbonated hydrogen-in
fact, n real organic substance, formed
of the remains Of plants or animals
coevaI with the deposit. He added
that there could be no doubt as to the
antiquity and geological situation OF
the strata of Nullaberg; intlltration
was impossible. The inference was
that the crystalline stratihed rocks Of
Scandinavia were formed when there
existed animated creatures, but at a
time long anterior to the period when
life Is supposed to have first existed on
the earth.

don of Samuel Kohnstamm Is causing
more excitement than any issued to
criminals by the President for some

byists known TO Washington politics.
Nearly two years since the sister of the
prisoner, who undertook to secure his
release, went to Washington for that
purpose and has worked fndustriously
ever since. Rohnstamm was sentenced
upon conviction OF most extensive
frauds upon soldiers during the early
stages Of the war. Between thirty and
forty indictments were found against
him, all equally strong. On one OF
these he was convicted. An opinion OF
his crimes may be formed from the re-
marks OF Justice Nelson, OF the Su-
preme Court, who presided on the trial.
In prououncing the sentence he said
that he regarded the detection and con-

to the national welfare with a victory

pardon. Those engaged in the attempt
TO secure 1t have lived in the most ex-
travagant style.
