WEST VIRGINIA.

TIE VIRGINIA COMMISSIONERS Messrs.
Robertson, Sutherlin, and Aylett, commits
riOners on the part Of Virginia to meet
commissioners on behalf of West Virginia
Tor the purpose Of adjusting the debt OF
Virginia contracted prior to the rebellion,
arrived in the city Saturday. Our Viz
ginia friends are going about this matter
with q good deal of dispatch. These gen.
tlcmen are expected, as we learn, to con-
summuie IL settlement and report to Cover
nor Walker within sixty daye. With every
wish to see this matter arranged as early
az may be, we doubt that any settlement
can be concluded within so limited time.
Il the basis of the settlement be agreed on
III sixty days it will ne quite aa much as
we expect for the differences between the
two States respecting ii are SO wide that 1t
is difficult to see how they can be recon-
oiled at all. Yet We have already express
cd the belief that the work of adjustment
had best begin at once. 1t cannot be fully
congummated till the controversy about
Berkeley and Jefferson is ended, and when
that vii, be cannot now be foreseen, unless
Virginia should withdraw her suit ; but
this suit does not seem to be in the way of
q BEGINNING or of II conference with refer
ence to the basis.
Since Virginia has sent her commissions, 8
hither with d courteous request from her
Executive for responsive action by the
authorities of West Virginia it would be
somewhat ungracious to decline appointing
commissioners to confer with them. This
action should be taken, however, not alone
as a matter Of comfy towards Virginia, but
for the reasons assigned in our columns
Friduy-yiz., that it is the duty Of the
State under her own Constitution 10 respond
TO this action, and that no reason existing
why we should lot, the failure to do 80
would expose us TO reflections calculated to
tarnish the fair fame of our youthful Com
monwcalth. Beyond this view OF the case
we feel 10 intercs; whatever in the matter,
but this view Of il seems to furnish suftl-
Gent reason why the Legislature before
adjourning should authorize Governor Ste
venson to appoint these commissioners
