controversy does not appear to furnish
any sufficient reason Of delay. The terms

ever way the question in reference to them

the authorities of West Virginia will deem
Il proper to appoint commissioners, with
powers SimilRr TO their own, their own
action being subject to rcvlsal by the Nir'
giniA Assembly.
