WEST VIRGINIA.
The Debt Of Old Virginia.

WHEELING, WEST VA, Jan. 19.-The
West Virginia Commissioners, Gen. Jack
son, of Parkersburg; J. NJ. Bennett, of
Weston, and A. w. Campbell, of Wheeling,
have published the amount and character
Of Nirginia's debt prior to the war. This
State proposes to settle with Virginia for
her proportion Of the debt. After crediting
Virginia with amounts expended in our
territory for public Improvements, bank
stocks, etc, and charging her with esti-
mated interest in public buildings and vari-
GUS funds, they find balance in her favor
Of about million dollars. The public i'm
prove2Aents of Virginia, which represented
some thirty millions of her debt before the
war, they turn over to that State along with
The debt for the same. Their language is
that Virginia has the property and owes the
debt which it represents.

TIE WHARTON TRIAL.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 19.-ThOmas resumed
argument in the Wharton trial this morn
ing. He said there was no evidence to show
that the prisoner owed Ketchum 81, 900,
and that there was no improbability that
airs. Wharton had entrusted $4,000 in bonds
to Ketchum without his receipt, as their
previous relations justified such confidence
on her part. He said it was not necessary
that the defense should show the disease of
which Ketchum died, but only rebUt the
evidence Of the prosecution that Ketchum
died by poison from tartar emetic, and this,
he argued, they had done. Thomas con-
cluded his argument at 1870 P. N.
Mr.. Steele followed in a closing argu-
ment for the defense. Adjourned.

IT is stated that u post-mortem examina-
ton Of the body of Rufus Ripley, the young
clerk in the Bank of New York, shows that
several sharp needle-like growth of bones
had been forcing their way from the inside
of the skull into the unfortunate young
mans brain, and it is probable that they
were the direct cause of the headaches to
which he was a martyr, and of the giving
way at last to the suicidal impulse. Some
of these bones projected a quarter Of an
inch or more into the brain, and were ex-
ceediDgly sharp. During the last eight
years of his life, Mr.. Ripley suffered from
persistent, incOrrgible pain in the head, on
which no therapeutic agencies-nOt even
the strongest electric current-would pro-
duce the slightest impression. In other re-
spects he was a healthy man, finely develop
ed. His case is not without precedent.

degrees; summer 60 degrees, and autumn
81 degrees. The seasons are really but two
summer and winter-whiCh run insensi-

the Atlantic coast, are kept in hothOuses,
there flourish during the whole year in the
open air. The productions are as varied
and excellent as the climate is delightful.
Fruits OF all kinds, except the peach and the
grape, grow in great profusiOn. Although
California fruits are highly priced, Oregon
and Washington apples are sent to the San
Francisco market, where they are greatly
appreciated, on account Of their superior
quality.

THE HEATHEN CHINEE.

A singular discussion occurred in the

the presentation Of a petition from the
Heatlsn Chinee Of California, praying for a
reduction Of the duty on rice. The present
high tariff on the nutritious grain is a griev-
Gus burden on the economical Celestials,
Next to curtailng a Chinaman's pig tail.
or defling his Jos house, you could not in
nict a more serious grievance on him than
by depriving him of his rice. The prOtec-
tionists in Congress, Of course, objected to
the petition. They hold that the Chinese
were foreigners, and had not the
right TO petition. The memorial
was finally received. The Bill Nye and
Truthful James Senators viii no doubt see
1t safely buried, and now, having discovered
the "bit Of raw" in the body polite of their
enemies, there is every reason to fear that
they will endeavor to secure an advance Of
the already high tax on rice. It would be
a more eiIectual means of Kidding their con-
stituentS Of the competition of "Chinese
cheap labor" than by shooting down the in
offensive strangers, as recently in Los An
