The CASE OF VIRGINIA VS.. WEST VIR-
G1yIA.-The Chief Justice announces that
in the important case Of Virginia Us. West
Virginia the court stood equally divided
upon the demurrer, and equally divided as
10 what order should be made in the cause.
The contest here is for the jurisdiction OF
the fertile counties Of Jefferson and Berke-
ley, lying in the Valley of Virginia, and
claimed by both States. An election was
held in these counties to take the sense OF
the inhabitants as to which State they would
elect to belong to. Governor Peirpoint gave
certificate that majority had voted in
favor of union with West Virginia; but
il is urged, we believe, on the other hand,
that there were frauds and irregularities
which vitiated the election. At present
these counties vote with West Virginia,
though very large proportion of the popu-
alOn are DISTINGUISHED.
Two points were made in favor of West
Virginia one that Virginia, not being a
State recognized by the political depart
ment of the United States Government,
had no right to appear before the court and
file bill; the second, that the certificate
Of the Governor was conclusive as to the
result of the vote. We believe that it IS
On the second point that this division OF
opinion has occurred.-National lntelA-

The article continues:

Particulars OF the Arrest OF Hr..Trasn
and Ofhaps


LONDON, January 2I-Noon.-Tha fo,.
lowing particulars of the arrest of George
Francis Train nave been received here
from Queenstown: During the transit Of
the tender which contained the passengers
and baggage of the Scotia from the steamer
to the wharf, the baggage of Train, as we'll
as that OF Thomas G. Durant, of New
OK, who was also q passenger, was sub
Jected to vigorous examination by the
custom officers. Nothing of incendiary
or seditious character being found in the
trunks Of either of these gentlemen, they
we're accordingly both permitted to go
ashore. As they stepped from the tender
to the wharf they were arrested and taken
before justice Of the peace in the city.
The examination eliciting nothing against
the prisoners to warrant their detention
they were discharged. Soon after their
arrival at their hotel they were rearrested.
Upon the completion Of the second exami-
nation Durant was discharged. The au-
thorities, however, detained Train and
he was sent in custody to the Cork Jail.
On Saturday he was brought before court
and reexamined but was remanded until
Monday the 9th. Mean time the case is
creating considerable excitement. News.
papers are reprinting characteristic
speeches and letters of Train, as forming
sort of justification of his arrest.

The Cole-Hiscock Murder Case.

ALBANY, January 20.-The trial OF
General Cole for the murder of His
cock, Of Syracuse, member Of the Con-
s;i,utional Convention, at Stanwix Hall, in
this city, last summer, is on the calendar
for this week, but will, in all probability,
be postponed. Mr.. Hadley, the counsel for
Cole, will drive the case off as long as
possible, in order that the affair may have
time todie out of the public remembrance.
In the case of Mrs. Hartung, who was for
several years in Jail here, and twice SEN
fenced to death on the charge Of poisoning
her husband, the same counsel (Mr. Had
ley) kept the matter alive, and the prisoner
too. by appeal after appeal, and eventually
not only saved her from the gallows but Sc
cured her release. Great interest is felt
here in relation to the trial. Mrs. Hiscock
is the sister of William D. Barto, men,
Der of the Constitutional Convention, in
which body the brother of the deceased
Hiscock also has a seat. Public feeling
sets too strongly against Cole at present to
make trial now desirable, and it will no
doubt be postponed.

The Armstrong Fou4fry Case-Its
Importance-The @ u I'll ON . In

The Armstrong Foundry Case-Ifs
vOlyed.
WASHINGTON, January 22.-The Arm
strong Foundry case, mentioned in the Su-
preme Court proceedings yesterday, came
up from Louisiana. Armstrong worked his
foundry in New Orleans while General
Lowell, Confederate States army, COM
handed there, and his works were en-
ployed in making shot and she'll for the
Confederacy. When New Orleans fell,
Armstrong took the oath and continued
working his foundry, which was afterwards
seized and condemned. The following
steps have been taken:
1st. The Attorney General moved to dis
miss the appeal, insisting that the case
should be heard on a writ of error. In
this he was overruled.
I'd. Armstrong moved to file plea of
pardon, which the Attorney General re-
sisted.
Leave was given after the argument to
file the plea, so that the case will now be
heard on it's merits, and will come up next
week. The Attorney General represents
the United States, and Hon. Humphrey
Marshall, of Kentucky, appears for Arm
strong. The case is considered a leading
one, which must decide these points:
1st. Whether seizure and capture are
the same.
I'd. Whether property liable to capture
and prize embraces land held by private
title.
Sd. Whether property, tainted by the
guilty consent of the owner, is relieved by
his pardon after condemnation and before
the sale.
4th. Whether a citizen, shut up in q
place occupied by Confederate arms, can
be responsible to the United States for q
breach of municipal law under command
of the military force Of the Confederates.
9Th. Whether the Constitution operates
with It's guarantees upon him when the
United States recovered possession OF the

that Jackson and Harrison were defeated
