CRUISING 'soUr VRGIN1A.-The
Richmond State Journal continues it's
argument in reference to the s'divisioh' y
OF Virginia, and the formation of West
Virginia. 1t says 1.-THE federal gov
eminent in crushing out the rebellion
in Virginia, also crushed out the life of
the State. This it had no constitution
al warrant to do except as the last and
most desperate extremity of war; Such
an extremity at no time existed; and
certainly was not continuing extrem-
ity after the war was closed"

The arguments of council II The

The arguments of council iii the case
of John E. Platter, indicted for the
murder Of his wife, at Cambridge, were
concluded on, Friday afternoon. At
ha lf-past three o'clock the jury retired,
and after an absence OF three hours
returned as their verdict mot guilty of
murder, but guilty of manslaughter. -
The prisoner was soon after sentenced
to the penitentiary until April 2, 1878.
He declared his innocence in a brief
speech, and claimed that he had not
had fair trial. The case, of course,
goes to the Court of Appeals.

The Richmond Wing calls attention
to the construction Of q railroad from
Gordonsville through Msdison, Culpep
er, and Rappahannock, through Ches-
ter Gap to Front Royal, in Warren
county. This road would traverse one
Of the most fertile and beautiful dis
trlcts in the State. At Front Royal it
would tap the Manassas road, Which
leads up the Valley to Harrisonburg,
and at Strasburg, with the road to Win
chester.

In reference to the Harper's Fer

In reference to the Harper's Ferry
property, the Attorney General says
that all the claims have been adjusted
except that for the water power, and
ne knows Of no reason why longer time
should be given to the parties to that
purchase, as they and their bondsmen
are able to make settlement. He adds
that their Obligations are now one and
two years overdue. Suits have been
commenced against them, and he il 6p-
posed to the withdrawal of the SUITS or
to giving them longer time. He doubts
whether better or even as good terms
could be obtained if sale was again
made to other parties.

Legislature Of Virginia, s'That
the Ascend y has men in both Houses
able and anxious to make better use of

fact remains that all the large questions
which demanded in December last their
attention still stare them in the face;
still wait their decision after more than
sixty days oftalk, consideration, amend
ment, reconsideration and confusion
worse confounded Even the railroad
problems still'lie before them All end

they are blameless in this matter of dila

NEW YoRK, February IA The de
cision Of Judge Boardman in the Stokes
case was received by Justice Ingraham
this morning, and by him announced.
He denies the motion for a new trial,
and in an opinion gives his reasons
therefor.
Townsend, counsel for Stokes, states
that in case the decision Of Judge Davis
should be adverse to granting a new
trial application will be made to other
judges, and in the meantime he will
endeavor to obtain letter from Judge
Boarttman to the Governor recommend
ing respite. Stokes is bitterly disap-
pointed at the adverse decision of
Judge Boardman, ard is greatly agitat
ed: He hasstrong hopes however. that
Judge Davis decision will be favora-
bile.

New YoRK, February l6.-Repre-

denied access to Stokes, and his father
and brother were the only persons who
saw him. The only remaining chance
for the prisoner now, Is a delay in the
execution of the sentence, which may
possibly be obtained, to the end that a
review Of case may be had by a full
bench Of the Supreme Court, or test
Of the eonstitutionality of the jury law
of 1872:
