Governor Foreman yesterday re-
ceived the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, Jan. d, 1865.
Case has resulted in favor OF West |
Virginia.
The lease" alluded to is more or less
familiar to our readers, who are aware
that the Jurisdiction of West Virginia
in the counties of Berkeley aud Jeffer-
son was disputed by the State of Vir-
Rinla, and that she carried the dispute
Into the Supreme Court of the United
States upwards of a year ago.
Briefly stated the grounds of dispute
were substantially as follows: Berke-
ley and Jefferson were not among the
As counties originally constituting the
State of West Virginia, but became
part of the State.in pursuance, in the
first place, of clause in the constitu-
tiou of West Virginia providing for the
admission of Traditional territory;"
and, next, in pursuance of the consent
of Virginia, (the restored government
given on the 3lst of January, 1868,
whereby these counties were permitted
ou luc AOAASA 4AAASNAy VA GAHyN 4OSOB
TO take vote on the subject land did
vote on that day and became part of
the State) and, third, in pursuance OF
an act of the Legislature of West Vir-
Ginia, passed August 5th, 1868, recogni-
ztng the result OF the vote thus taken
and admitting them rs part of Wesi
Virginia.
The first legislature of Virginia that
convened at Richmond after the close
of the war, repealed the consent given
by the restored government" to the
accession of Berkeley and Jefferson as
a part of West Virginia, and the rebel:
in those counties, as well as at Rich
lnond, contended that the re
peal worked a revocation of all tha
had been done in the matter, for the
reason that Congress had not ratified
the transaction. The State OF Yves
Virginia on the either hand contendeC
that the ratification of Congress wa
not necessary, seeing that our Consti
tuition in so many words, at the time o
our admission, and ever since, provi
ded for the acquisition of those coun
ties in case they should elect to cas-
their fortunes with US at the time allu
ded to. On this issue the TIVE
States went before the Court o
'last resort" and as we have just seer
by the Hon. Reverdy Johnson's dis
patch, West Virginia came out frs
best, the decision being that Berkele,
aud Jefferson are bona tide parts AMI
parcels of this State, and as such, IRE
vocably and everlastingly gone from
under the jurisdiction of the Richmond
government. Notifying as this result
may be to the Hon. Andrew Hunter 4
Co., who were feeling so bad about tn
matter some time ago, they must nov
learn to "accept the situation" as on
ofthe results oftheir secession madnes
and folly.

"I have been somewhat critised here

which | have made to them, have not

Mr. Dsraeli, who followed, said in the
course of his remarks:
