INDECENT children. They declare that

Springfield (Nlssl IIspublsAa.
West Virginia feels aggrieved that she
10 charged with bulIdozlng William F.
Taylor out Of the State. Mr.. Taylor, u
wealthy old man from Philadelphia, To-
Gated in Green6rier county, W. Va, eight
years ago, bought 600 acres OF land, and
GpOnt 100000 building a fine house, store,
school house and mills. He took no part
in politics, and got along well enough with
his neighbors until he took sides with a
Republican mRil.Carrier who was assaulted
by the Democratic Postmaster OF neigh.
boring village. His buildings were burned
after that, and he received threatening
letteTS which Induced him 10 sacrifice hiG
property and leave the State. This is MIR.
Taylor's story as furnished 10 Attorney
General Deyens with considerable detail
West ViTginia'B defense Is that Taylor Is q
wGak'minded, cratic man, whose troubles
were due TO his disposition, and not 10 hi
being Northefner. The testimony OIL
local Republicans Is advanced to prove hi
story SANDER; but while 1t may be trut
that Republicans can discuss aud advocate
their principles in West Virginia as freely
as anybody, It yet seems true that tht
State has lost man Of means, and ont
disposed to advance Its prosperity, through
the malevolence Of the ToUgher elements
Such occurrences may be only misiOFtunes
but they are no less damaging to immigra
ton.
There is no doubt that every such cas-,
asthis one Of Taylor's hurts the State, bu
ut the same time ills due to the State Il
say that there is no authentic record o
late years OF any man having been NAL
treated in West Virginia on account o
his politics. In the matter OF political
federation, US in most other respects, West
Virginia Is essentially a Northern State,
There may be few communities in the
State where the ruling element look down
upon the Republicans with an aIectation
of social superiority, but they are mol
numerous. Nearly all that sort Of thing
is played out in West Virginia. People
stand on their general merits about q
sQuarely US in tho average State of the
Union. No intending emigrant need hang
back for fear OF his Republican principles.
There arc nearly $4,000 Republican voters
in the State and they arc pretty well dis
tributed.

WASHINGTON. April S.-Thc Chief Justice
Of tue Supreme Court announced to-day
10 the httorncy-General OF Virginia that the
court had determined that it would hear
together or the l4th instant argument in the
two casts from Virginia growing out OF the
?c.i0n oi United States District Judge RlTcS.
On this occasion it il understood that the
Acknowledgement OF The United States will
appear only as a1nicuS curtT, and Judge
RWc> will be represented by special counsel.
The rumorS in regard TO these cases, OF
which mention was made last night, appear
To-day to have grown into conviction. The
opinion was very generally expressed in
legal circles that the Supreme Court would
decide that 1t had 10 original jurisdiction
nader the Constitution, and that the only
way in which the matter could properly be
brought before it would be by appeal from
The United States Circuit Court from Nlr-
ginil. Mr.. Justice Bradley, from the bench,
Indicated that he had strong doubts rs TO
Whether the Supreme Court had original
Jurisdiction. Ii is generally understood
mat III consequence OF the excited con-
GHlon d public feeling which has several!
liiAc> existed when eases growing out or
ihe reconstruction legislation bafc been
before the court, and the severe comment to
which The court has been subjected, the dis
position OF the court now is to avoid rs far
