lature haze agreed upon plan for the ad-
justment Of the public debt of the State

OR interest certificates heretofore issued by
the State. except the per cent. dollar bonds,
and what is known as sterling bonds, but in
GLIDING the stock of the old James River
Company and the bonds Of the James River
and Kanawha Canal Company guaranteed by
the State, may fund two-thirds of the amount
of the same with two-.hirds Of the interest
due thereon to July 1, 1871, 10 6 per cent
coupon or registered bonds of 800, $500,
$1,000, and $4,000 to become due and pay
able in 81 years, but redee mable at the pleas
ure Of the State after ten years-the inter-
est to he paid scmi-annually.
2. The holders of five per cent dollar
bonds may in like manner fund it in like
bonds with five instead Of six per cont. in
crest
8 Upon such funding, there shall be is
sued to the owner for the other one-third a
certificate payable, the interest in money and
the principal in bonds OF the date ard char
actcr named, whenever West Virginia shall
have paid her just proportion of the public
debt.
4 All sums realized from selden,. With.
ers & Co., the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company, the United States, or from sale Of
State property, shall constitute a sinking
fund, and after 1880 a tax shall be laid, the

WAsHtNaToN, March 6 Id the United
States Supreme Court to-day the case Of Nc
Weigh, of Alexandria. Va vs. the U tied
States in error from the Circuit ecu ior the
district Of Virginia was heard
This was proceedings to conGscatc the prop:
erty of McVeigh and he appearing By co IN.
sci AID Cling aid answer, on motion oi the
United States District Attorney, The court
below struck out his claim and answer OF the
ground that he was a resident Of the City O.
Richmond, within the Confederate lines and
rebel, holding that he had 20 standing in
court. This Court (suprems) arc unanimous
in the opinion, that this was al error ia the
court below. and that when assaulted there:
| McVeioh had right to to defend there.
The liability and The right are inssparable,
and a different result would be blot On the
jurisprudence and civilization Of the country.
The provision of the Constitution that no one
shall be deprived Of life, liberty or property
without due process Of law, is conclusive on
the subject. Whatever the extent Of dis,sbil-
ity Of an alien enemy to sue the hostile coun
try, he is clearly liable to be sued, and this
carries with it the right Of defence.
The right Of MoVeigh 10 sue out this writ
was sustained, and the judgment of the lower
court was reversed, and the cause was re-
manded with instruction to the court below
to proceed in it in conformity to law.
Justice swayne delivered the opinion of
court.
| WASHINGTON, March 6.-In the United
States Supreme Court to-day the following
decision was made in the case of Virginia VS..
West Virginia:
This was bill denying the validity of the
cession of the counties Of Jefferson and Berke-
ley to West Virginia. The defendant de-
INJURED the bill and the court sustained the
demurrer and dismissed the bill, taking the
view that there was compact between the
two States to abide the decision Of an election
by the people of those counties on the subject.
Such an election was held and the result was
in favor of West Virginia, according to the
official returns as recorded and certified by
the Governor, which is a decision of the cues
ton. The allegation of fraud were not sus-
taired.
Justice Miller delivered the opinion of the
court.

The Forty-Second Congress.

The Washington special to the Balti-
more Sun says that the most important
feature of the new House was the solid
front which the Democratic side presented
with its ninety -four votes, two of its mem
BEES being absent, and with four States
unfepresented. While in full House
this side will lack some thirty votes or
more Of a majority, it nevertheless breaks
up the two-thirds rule under which there
has been so much vicious legislation by
the Republicans. The latter yield this
with such great eluctance 1hat they at
tempted, in the very last hours Of the old
session, to 50 amend the.rules as to give a
majority of the House the same power as
two-thirds. Mr. Brooks and Others declarl
ed that they would resist that attempt to
outrage the minority ssto the very borders
of revolution whereupon the movers Of
the amendment retreated.
The Washington Patriot Of yesterday
says: iase4 ae aaa aza:53
The general physiogomy Of the House Of
Representatives has great y improved. On
Saturday, when the carpet-baggers, scala
wags and negroes, who claim to represent
the Southern States--the Africans being
by far the best Of the lot-appeared to be
sworn in, there was q general expression
of disgust, even among the Radicals, who
are to be associated with this tribe as col
leagues. But when the Democratic and
Conservative members Of the South-the
real Representatives Of the peoplo-pfe-
scented themselves at the bar, the contrast
was 50 striking and impressive that invol-
untary applause testified the appreciation
from the floor and the galleries. M

Terrible Riot in Mississippi.

JACKSON Mss, Marcht7.-A riot occur
red yesterday at Meridian, ninety-fve miles
east of here, durng which Judge Bran,lette,
Of the city court, white, and eightor ten ne
groes were killed A number Of whites and
negroes were wounded. 5as,.g
A fire occurred in that city on Saturday
night destroying $40, 600 worth Of property
Lotten, a.negro, was arrested as the incendi
sary, and. while being tried before Judge
Bramlette, Tyler, another negro, was in the
courtroom, and shot Judge Bramlette thro
the head. killing him instantly. A. general
melee ensued, in which Tyler and Lotion
were killed instantly. Aaron ]. Moore, a
prominent negro politician and member Of
the Mississippi Legislature, who was also a
prisoner as an accessory to the burning, was
wounded, it is supposed mortally.
Last night another fire took place, destroy
ing church and other buildings.
Sturges, the mayor Of the city, from Con-
necticut,) who has been fomenter of strife
in the place, took the Northern bound train
last night promising never to ,eturn.

TWELVE PER CENT.

There is Ii bill now On the calendar of the
House of Delegates, the object Of which is to
bring up The question Of interest," on money;
and place it in form for the consideration
Of the Legislature. The Tnyinian, we be-
licyc, was the first paper in the State to take
an advance position OH this question: and to
ask in the name Of the suffering psopEe of the
State, that the proper steps be taken to hate
change made in the Constitution, repeating
;hc Il per cent clause. Having fully ex-
pressed Cur views on this subject, aid they
having been endorsed by nearly every paper
in the State, We deem it unnecessary to repeat
them, Or to offer additional arguments in sup
port Of them. The matter is now, through
the watch!uluess Of Senator Roller, of Rock
ingham. before the Legislature, and if menu
bcrs wish to represent the almost unanimous
wish Of their constituents they will act
promptly in this important matter. The fea
turc in the constitution allowing II per cent
interest to be taken by contract On the face Of
the bond, is a blight and curse to the State.
1t is an outrage and fraud upon the people,
forced upon them at time when they were not
in a condition to pay even 6 per cent. II is
paralizing all the industrial interests Of the
onwealth-holding al bay emigration
protesting manufacturing enterprses-sta
mating land sales, and operating as a mildew
upon every thing calculated to reinvigorate
and regenerate the State.
ANOTHER INVESTIGATION COMMITTEE
Mr.. Arnett, Of Clark, having in speech in
the House of Delegates, stated that pending
the controversy upon the passage Of a bill "to
amend the charter of the Alexandra and
Fredericksburg railroad company in such
manner as to secure continuous railroad con-
ncction from the end Of the long bridge op-
pcsite Washington city, through Richmond
and Danvlle to Bristol, and to construct a
branch thereof, the proposition was made to
Gen, VIM Malone, President Of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio railroad company, that
If lie and his friends would Withdraw his op-
position to said bill, the friends Of said bill
would secure to him control ofthe Richmond
and Petersburg railroad company and that
the proposition was Indignantly scorned and
spurned by Gen. Malone. Maj. Daniel, Of
Lynchburg, offered resolution to appoint a
special committee to investigate the matter,
and to ascertain whether any member of the
Legislature was implicated in the proposition
Mr. Arnett reiterated his assertion, and
while he regarded the proposition as improp-
er, he knew that there was no criminal mo-
tive involved in it. The resolution was adopt
ed

Political Items.

The idea of a fusion between the Revenue
Roformers and the Democrats IN Congress was
abandoned some time ago: The reason not
given but it is onjeetured that parties ere
not yet ripe. 1t is not doubted that elm ,nts
of discord exist in the Republican party, but
practical questions must arise to bring them
renominated under the expectation that he
would appoint three different men to the
chairmanship of the Committee Of Ways and
Means. Messrs. Dawes of Massachusetts,,
Kelley OF Pennsylvania, and some IN, AIMED
Western man opposed to the tariff Ofcourse
the friends Of one or the other of these n
tlemen must be disappointed. That isap-
poiutment will possibly be the germ Of trou-
bic.
There are signs of trouble among the Re-
publicans Of Pennsylvania A Convention Of
The Party was to be held the 10th inst, but
it has been adjourned to the 18th Of May
The reason assigned is that there is discord
between the party in the city Of Philadelphia
and the party in the country The latter is
led by Senator Cameron and the former by
"Rlng." A very bitter feeling exists between
the two factions, and convention in. the
present temper would lead to schism and ruin.
An adjournment, it was thought might give
opportunity for compromise ard peace.
The Republican party in New York ap-
pears even more discordant than it is in Penn
sylvauia. Doomed to a certain and hopeless
minority, its members amuse themselves by
pitching into each other. In the New York
Assembly, the other day, the two leaders Of
the party-Littlejohn and Alvord-had
fierce encounter, and manfully defed each
other.
With The two great States of Pennsylvania
and New York in opposition, no party has
ever been able to hold control of the Nation
al Government.
President Grant has vetoed bill to pay an
army officer $3.50 for a horse; but, while he
does this--which may be all right and proper
he signs away millions of acres of public
lands and pays Baez in gold for the lease Of
SANTANA and proposes to buy the island at un-
known figures. This is considered penny
wise and pound foolish craftsmanship. But
this is an age of progress, and we live to
learn.-Rachmond Wig.

THE FINANCE BILL Tho Enquirer, Of
the 9TH, has very clear article explaining
the Finance Bill reported by the joint COM
mttee of Finance of the Legislature. We
have not the space for its reprint to-day. We
earnestly hope the Legislature viii promptly
actupon this important subject There is
not enc which more directly bears upon the
true interest of the State, and whose prompt,
adjustment will tend more speedily to raise
the old Commonwealth to the proud position
she once held in the sisterhood. Of States.

FINANCIAL PROSPECT OF FRANCE.-The
official ststementof the public debt of France
at the beginning Of 1870 showed total Of
S2,600000,000. Three loans were contract
ed during 1870, which, when capitalized:
will amount to $40o, 100000: French war
expenditure, yet to be covered by loan, $780,
100000. Germany now demands 81 ,0OO,-
600 GOO, which, if it can be borrowed at all,
will probably be on such terms as will make
the Indemnity reach $1,500,o 100000, The
New York Times estimates that surprising,
at the erd Of three Or more, probably Of six
years, France should be able to pay this enor-
NOUS bill, she will fad herself in the posses
sion of national debt reaching the aarn
ing total of $4,000, 600 600. It is not easy
to see how, under any form of government
no matter what its prospect Of stability, such
a sum as that is to be carried In add ton
to all this, territory is to be added to Ger
many which yielded the treasury of France
about twelve millions Of dollars per annup
