CINCINNATI Commercial, Friday
morning:
There is not politician. In Ohio, no
matter OF what party, who does not
know that the situation of the Democ-
racy Is one of goneness. Mr. Ewing
Is entirely too shire Sd an observer not
to be fully conscious of this fact The
latest report is that he has written a
letter saying he was not receiving the
support he bad a right to expect fr1m
the Democratic leaders, and therefore
gave way to some one on whom the
party could be united. @

THE Cincinnati Commercial thinks
Tilden has got things in New York
just 10 the shape he wants them. He
has demonstrated his power by forcing
the nomination of Robinson, and now
if he is defeated he can lay all the
blame to Tammany, and reserve his
power until next year, when he will
force his party to support him for the
Democratic Presidential. nomination.

Decision In the County warran. Case
The suit Of Major E. C. Camp vs,
the county of Knox to compel the
pay ment of a county warrant, with
interest from date of the first presenta.
tion thereof for payment, was heard
yesterday evening by Hon. M. l..
Hall, of the Criminal Court. The suit
was recently heard before Justice AL.
lison, and, as will be RENE mbered, il
was in proof that the warrant was pre-
sented and payment asked soon after
its Issuance, but the money was noi
in the treasury. Afterwards q
tender of the face amount oil
the warrant was made t. the holder
but refused, unless accompanied by
interest The case was ably presented
by Msj. Camp and Msj A. 8. Prosser,
for complainant, and by Mr.. James
Comfort for the county.
The decision of Judge Hall was that
the complainant recover the $500, the
face amount of the warrant, a tender
OF W ieh had been made, but refused
10 allow him interest, holding that
it was against public policy to require
body or corporation TO pay interest
on a demand of this kind. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court.

GRAFTON, January II, 1870.
Editors Of IntelllgsnceT.
The heavy freeze Of several days ago
completely closed navigation on the Valley

A large number of logs are in the boom
at this point, and it is hoped they are Sc
cured against repetition OF loss such as
occurred two years ago.
Below Valley Falls the ice has gorged,
and when this breaks it will most likely
move the ice In the Monongahela. 2 s !

congregation. He is plain though con-
vincing speaker, and such as 10 win the
favor OF his audience.
We recently enjoyed a ride from Nor
gantown TO Fairmont. The toll is sixty
cents, or a little over three cents per mile,
for two horse sleigh or vehicle. On the

Is represented by taxes, and taxes are i'm,
posed not on numbers or square miles but
on resources and values. How much
stronger Is the case when the very debt
under consideration was created in devel.
Oping and enriching one portion OF the
State almost exclusively. Nay, more,
when that division Of the State Is in pos.
session Of and enjoying, giving away and
selling at auction and otherwise disposing
Of the very subjects for which the debt
was created"
"The tables accompanying this report
show that the bonded debt OF Virginia on
the first day Of January, 1861, represented
money borrowed and expended in improv.
Ing the State by canals, railroads, turn.
pixies, plank roads aud bridges. All these
expenditures conferred local and special
benefit where expended, not only by the
outlay Of the money in creating market
and stimulating enterprise and trade, but
in otherwise developing the resources
of particular localities to an extent
quite equal to the general benefit to the
State at large, And this local and gen.
eral development is the sum OF the value
of the improvements to the section where
located, and gives them an inestimable
and abiding value to that section. This
valueis progressive and not susceptible OF
being fixed. So certainly is this the case
that it islprobablc fit were practicable TO
utterly extinguish these improvements,
and thereby extingutsh the debt, that the
State where they are located would not
listen-to such proposition"
ut may be assumed, then, that thepub-
lie works for which the debt was created
are worth what they cost. Virginia by
selling, donating and disposing Of these
works as her own property, without re-
gard to the rule laid down by Chancellor
Kent, and without consulting West Virgin
Ia, must be taken to have accepted them
on that basis, and is therefore chargeable
with them on that basis.' q.
"When the, tables are completed they
will show an expenditure Of over thirty
Virginia and about two and
half millions in West Virginia. Much of
this latter was expended at comparatively
recent dates, whereas the expenditures in
Virginia range through a period Of fifty
years, with benefits accruing more or less
that period. In the light Of
such facts, We submit that no intelligent
mind, wishing only to do justice, can doubt
for moment that the benefits conferred,
and not the territory and population,
should be the principal II not the only ba-
sis OF an adjustment OF the debt"

The resolutions declare that Virginia in

States, and is entitled to the same rights
and powers; that the United States can
no more rightfully Interfere with and at

the United. states, for, tha Western Dis
tfict ot Virginia; in assuming the jurisdic-
ton of the cases OF Lee Reynolds and Bur-
well Reynolds, parties charged with n
crime against the laws OF this State, and
held to answer therefor, is an attempt
to execute the laws OF this Com.
monwealth, and to regulate her internal
policy in the courts by officers of the
United States, and is unwarranted by the
Constitution, is destructive OF the rights
OF the people OF each State to protect life,
liberty and property in their own way, by
their own courts and officers, and ought at
'once'to be!rernedied by proper judicial
acior5 and any recurrence OF the same
prevented by appropriate legislation. That
proper provisions by law ought to be made
for the prompt and effective supervision
by -the Supreme Court OF the United
