Senator Davis, of West Virginia, made an
interesting speech In the Senate on Tuesday
in review of the question as to the proper
sPportloament of the debt of old Virginia
between tho mother State and West Vir-
gin'a. He showed that West Virginia had
always indicated a disposition to assume the
payment of whatever was decided by proper
authority to be her just proportion of the
debt. but he did not regard tho arbitrary al,
,otmsut of one-third of it to West Virginia
BY Virginia az equitable.
