Treasurer Commonwealth of Virginia,
second Auditor.

This certificate speaks for itself, and we
need not explain that itwas rot issued
from the Capital nor under the authority
Of West Virginia.
The debt of Virginia in 1871 was COM
puted TO be 5000, 900, and $4,000, GOO
not $lO,OO0,OOO) were assigned by Nir-
sinia 10 West Virginia. Ii seems that the
bonlhOlGerS have themselves scaled this
AMOUNT down to $4,000, 900 by going
hack TO the date of ACKNOWLEDGMENT. )"
West Virginia claims that her share Is 10
je computed from January l3t, 1861, and
the Restored Government OF Virginia 1T
Wheeling-the government recognized
by the Government Of the United States as
the true and only Government of Virgin
iI-by solemn act, on the 18th of May
1862, gave its consent TO the formation Of
tue State of West Virginia under 1.-The
provisions set forth i'll the constitution
for the said State of West Virginia, and
the schedule thereto annexed, proposed
by the convention which assembled at
Wheeling on the 2Gth day ofNovember,
ls6l." One of the provisions of said con-
s,ltution was as follows (see. section Sth of
article Wild:
"An equitable proportion of the public
debt of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
pior TO the first day of January, i'll the year
one thousand eight hundred and sixty
one. shall be assumed by this State, and
the Legislature shall ascertain the same us
III AN-iI n
for the liquidation thereof by sinking
fund sufficient to pay the accruinS inter
est, and redeem the principal within thir-
ty-ioUr years"
As to how the Legislature was to pro-
coed to ascertain West Virginia's equita-
bic proportion of the debt of Virginia was
specifically laid down in section of the
ordinance passed August Goth, 1861, by the
Virginia convention that assembled i'll
this city on the 18th of June, 1861 (which
section reads Us follows:
The new State shall take upon itself 4
Just proportion of the public debt of the
Commonwealth Of Virginia, PRIOR TO THE
FIRST DAY OF JANUARY, 1851, TO be ascer-
tanned by charging to it all State eXpendi-
proportion of the ordinary expenses of
ihe State government, since any part OF
said debt was contracted, and deducting
therefrom the monies paid into the treas
nry of the Commonwealth from the coun-
lies included in the said new State during
The same period"
The holders of the so-called West Vir-
ginia deferred certificates" ought to be a.
lie to make up their minds from this da-
"a about how the bonds stand related to
this State. West Virginia claims that the
bonds passing under her name do not rep
resent anything more than mere ex parte
assignment of debt on the part of Virgin
Ia, and that Virginia alone stands respon-
hble for the bonds thus issued Nheeling

49, ~ a ANNl NANs
No doubt all our readers are aware of the
successful running of the Siemens electric
railway, near Berlin, which unites the rail-
way depot with the cadet school, about q
milo and half distant, The principle on
which this railway is worked is that OF
making the steel rails conductors. The
electric current runs from the engine house
along the steel rails, aud is received into the
car through the steel tires Of the wheels,
whence II passes through the axles to
On electrical mscLine between the
wheels, under the floor of the
car. To stop the car the conduc.
tor has only to interrupt the current, by
moving Il bar. The car is started by the re-
verse process. The average rate given in
the official time table is fifteen kilometres
(about nine and three-tenths miles) per
hour.
The Travellers World reports recent
trial ut Paris of another system, which ap-
pears at first glance superior to that of
SiemeDs, Siemens plan is evidently liable
to accidents. Anything which should stop
the engine at the engine-bouse would break
the current and stop the cars. ANY other
accidental breaking of the current would have
the same effect. 1t a road should DO torn up
by any casuslty,or if two rails should become
separated so as no longer to constitute q con-
tinuous line of communication, the car
would stop. The Paris plan utilities the dis
covery by Faure 10 the practicability Of
storing electricity. Ia the stored form sup.
ply can DO carried aboard car, or any
wheeled vehicle, attached to the axle and
used as moter. Mr.. Rstford, the engineer
of the Power and Light company, placed the
apparatus in one of the vehicles of the great
omnibus company, and it worked
noiSelessly and satisfactorily both in
ascending and descending, (the road
was not level). It is reported that DR.. Brush
has constructed storage reservoirs capable OF
retaining for an indefinite time very largo
charges of electricity. To place such are
servoir on stree! car, connect il with the
sxles and make the electricity run the car,
is matter easily accomplished. The scien-
lists will probably soon work out the details
of practical system, and then we shall bid
goodby 10 the mule in the noisy streets, and
to the smoke, cinders and blowing of the
locomotive, and slso substitute the new mo-
tor for stationary engines wherever power
is required for large purposes and for small,
from the running oft mill or elevator down
to the working Of sewing machine.
