The Richmond JThig says that
butchered Virginia has right
to look to her destroyer, the
United States government, for
relief from paying the old State
debt incurred before West Vir.
ginia was taken from the terri
tory. The relief asked is that
the general government perform
duty incident to war by read
justing the terms of separation
so that West Virginia may have
its part of the debt.

SPOFFORD AND KELLOGG.


Washington, October 24-Mr. Spoford
before the privileges and elections CON-
mittee, to-day, argued that accol ding to
the Constitution of Louisiana the Return
ing Board has nothing whatever to do
with the question of who were elected
Governor and Lieutenant Governor of
the State of Louisiana, and as Louisiana
law requires all election returns to be de-
liYered to the Secretary of State and not
to the Returning Board, he claimed his
seat on those grounds. He hoped the
Presidents decision would not be revers-
ed, and that the government recognized
by him. which had brought peace and
prosperity to the State of Louisiana
would be allowed by Congress to ex-
ist
Packard's title of Governor rested en-
tirely on the Returning Board, and upon
Nicholl's recognition the acts of the Pack
ard Government were void.
The Hon. S. S. Shellabarger made the
closing plea for Kellogg, defending the
Returning Board. 'COncludlng, he said {:
"The country cannot afford to secure
peace by overthrowing one Of the States
of this Union. Peace thus got is too ex.
pensiYe to get"
The committee then went into execu-
tive session, and adjourned unlil to-mor-
row, when it is understood they will de-
termine as to the scope they will take In
the investigation, The proceedings will
be with closed doors.
