dEHPuES APPEAL.
CONDENSED DEUISIOSS OF TIE
SUPREME COURT.
Brownsville, June Term, IS6S.
BIZ H. CLAY KING, Esq.
, ss.-Frlshlnnaer vs.. Pollook

No S2.--Friedlander VS.. Pollock.
This WIS an action by original attach
mGnt ct law, based on two grUuncs: lst.
That the defendant was removing bis
property out OF the State; I'd. That the
defendant was about to remove his pro-
perty out OF the State. The defendant
appeared and moved the Court to trans-
fer the cause to the Circuit Court Of the
United Ststes FOR this District, which was
disalloWed. He then filed q plea in
abatement traversiHg the grounds OF at
tachment. The CAUSE Yves submitted TO
the jury on the issues raised by the plea
ia sbatement. The plea in abatement
wss signed by the defendant, TO which
appeared the certificate Of the clerk that
the plea was sworn to by the defendant.
Held: l. That in cases by original at
tRcbment, it is the attachment which
gives jurisdiction to the Court, and when
that is defeated by sustaining the plea IN
abatement, the whole case goes ont OF
Court, and there can be no Judgment
against the defendant for the debt or de-
mand.
2. An application to remove the cause
to the United States Court was not such
an appearance to the cause as would
prevent the defendant from syailing
himself of bis plea in abatement.
8. Under. Code, 2S63, the Court will
lock to the substance OF the plea rather
than ths form to determine whether 1t
be good plea.
A. But the Code being silent as TO the
mode of verifying the ples, the affidavit
Of the defendant must appear in writing.
The certificate OF the clerk that it was
sworn to is not sufficient.
8. It is not necessary that q "remoy-
ing of property or being about to re-
move property out of tie State" should
be with fraudulent intent to justify the
sUiHg out the writ of attachment.
6. a permanent removal OF the debt
Oris property out of the State, not leav-
ing enough within the State for the sat
isiaction Of the claims of his creditors,
will authorize an attachment.
T. And, if it be shown that be was
about to make such removal, an attach
ment will lie.
s. Proof that the defendant after the
suing out of the attachment did actually
remove his property, is competent TO
support the issue that he was about to
remove bis property" at the date of the
attachment.

Resolutions Adopted by the
Democratic State COnVen-
ton of West Virginia.

l. Resolved, That we approve the platform of
the National Democratic Convention, lately as.
sembled in New York, "A the true exponent of
our political principles and pledge our hearty
and united support to the nominees OF that
Convention for the offices of President and Vice
President of the United States.
,. ReSOLred That we demand of the Legisla.
tuTe of this State q reduction of the useless
swarm of officers with which We are infested,
and such other measures of economy. retrensh-
ment and reform as will reduce the bUTthen of
State and local taxation, which is CNha"siing
the substance of our people.
g. ReSOlred That we demand the reform OF
the present system of registration as unjust,
oppressive upon the people, and at variance
with the fundamental principles of free govern
ment.
A. Resolred, That we denounce the Radical
party of this State, because, with view Of
perpetuating their own power, they have re-
fused to permit the people to elect their own
Registers, and have vested the power of appoint
ment and removal in the Governor, so that the
INSCRIPTIONS purposes Ct the party may be bet.
ter accomplished; and because, with the same
view, they have by recent legislation relieved
their Registers, thus unfairly and improperly
elected from either civil or criminal RESPONSE
bility, for even willful and corrupt violation of
duty.
5. Resolved, That while we are willing to ac.
cord to the negro the full measure of legal
rights with ample protection of person and
property, we are unalterably opposed to negro
suffrage, negro equality, and Radical legislation
looking to that end.
g. Resolrcd That we denounce the Radical
party for having, through its representatives in
Congress, by the passage of certain military re-.
construction bills, declared null and void the
Government of Virginia, which formed the
State of West Virginia, thereby denying the
legal existence of our new State.
