A letter from Charleston, West Virginia,
says that ''it is now apparent that the debt
middle between Virginia aud West Virginia,
will never be settled outside of the United
States Supreme Court, but how it is to be got
there is not clear. Before bench Of judges
West Virginia will not be able to get cut of her
share of liability, however plausibly some of her
statesmen may argue her out of it now. With
twelve millions Of dollars or SO at stake, some
right nice arguments can be framed. There is
no higher incentive to erudite reasoning and
hair splitting logic than twelve millions of dol
lars, unless it be larger sum"

1t is reported from New York that the
Cooper Institute was crowded last night with
Republicans favoring the Cincinnati Conven-
ton. Colonel Conkling, the brother of Senator
Conkling, presided. The declaration of princi-
Piles was couched in strong and terse language,
every paragraph of which expressed unqualified
antagonism to the denomination of Gen. Grant.
The interest of the meeting was heightened by
the presence of Senators Schurz and Trumbull,
who gave In for the first time their formal ad-
hesion to the Cincinnati movement, and their
adhesion to the principles that animate it and
are giving to it an ominous strength and con-
gistercy

SUIT FOR MILEAGE. Lewis FL. Bryant,
member of the House of Delegates from Gray
son, has brought suit, through his counsel, F.
W. Mahood, Esq, against the Auditor of Pub
lie Accounts for constructive mileage due him
for attendance at the late extra session of the
General Assembly. 1t will be remembered that
joint resolution was passed at the beginning
of the extra session declaring that no member
should draw mileage on account of the extra
session We learn that the suit is based upon
the plea that the General Assembly may not by
joint resolution set aside the constitutional pro-
vision which entities members to mileage. The
amount in Mr. Bryant's case will, we believe.
reach about $112, and if he RECEIVERS the way
will be opened to all members who choose to
collect from the treasury.

The Queen of England in her speech

Alabama claims and the Geneva
Commission, in the following terms:
The arbitratOrs appointed pursuant
to the treaty of Washington, for the
purpose of annie ably settling the Ala
bama claims, held their first session in
Geneva. Gases were laid before the ar,
bitratogs on behalf of each party to
the treaty. In the case SO submitted
by the United Safes, large claims are
included, which are understood on my
part not to be within the province Of
the arbitrator. On this subject I
have caused friendly communication
to be made to the Government of the
United States.
