VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND BOUNDARY
The commissioners appointed by the States
of Maryland and Virginia to determine the
boundary line between those States will
meet at Cape May about the middle OF ALL
gust. Virginia claims that the line between
the State on the eastern shore OF the Chesa-
peake bay, as established by agreement
in 1865, is from Watkins's Point, at or
near Cristield, to the Atlantic ocean,
and that the same line should be pro-
tracted eastward over Tangier sound
and Smiths island to the mouth OF
the Potomac river, and she insists that this
protraction accords with her ancient posses
sion and Jurisdiction. Maryland claims that
the line properly runs from Smiths Point
(the south point OF the Potomac rlVerl
where the river flows into the Chesapeake
bav, thence across the bay by right line to
the centre OF Cedar straits, near the south
ern end of Watkins's Point; thence by q
right line to the Atlantic ocean. The point
of line in dispute includes some OF the most
valuable of the oyster beds.
RI. Daniel, ESQ.,, Acknowledgement OF
the State, is now in Washington examining
the SURVEYS and maps bearing on the sub
iect He feels that he ought to know all
aboI,t the boundaries of the Chesapeake, as
he and Judge Robinson were upset IN the
bay when they were commencing their IN
yestigations. They both touched bottom,
and ought to have seen the lines that seem
to have been the cause Of so much dissen-
tion between two ancient and dl2nlned
CommonWealths.
