The Tombstone Republican says there is scheme on foot to restore West Virginia to the old state. There IS no West Virginia, although it is claimed that there is state of that name, which was organized out of territory belonging to the state of Virginia, but not in accordance with article 4, section 8 of the constitution of the United States which expressly declares that mo new state shall be formed or erected within the jurisdic. tion of any other state" As will be seen from the above quotation, the constitution of the United States ex- pressly inhibits the erection of new state within the jurisdiction of any other state" Virginia is and was a political subdivision of the United States, and an independent sovereign state when portion of its territory was segregated and formed into a new state called West Virginia. This seg- regatsd territory was within the juris- diction of the state of Virginia, and within the limit and extent of its sov- ereign authority. The so-called state of West Virginia was formed in 1861, of the western counties of Virginia which had not ceded from the Union. A convention which assembled at Wheeling, November -26, 18G1,' and concluded its labors February" IS, 1862, submitted a constitution, to the people of the counties named, April 8, 1862, and the returns received showed its ratification by an overwhelming majority. The consent of the body recognized by the federal government as the legislature of Virginia was given, and congress then passed an act, approved December.3 .3l, 1862, pro- viding for the admission of the new state, upon condition of the adoption of an amendment by the people rep resented in convsntion. This was done, and the state was admitted, with the amended constitution.
 Such, briefly, is the history of the matter. But it will be noticed that the objection to the creation of the new state of West Virginia is funda- mental, and obviously the counties named had no constitutional right or power, (being at the time within the jurisdiction of another state to erect themselves into new state, even though the recognized legislature of Virginia gave its consent thereto, or congress ratified and consented to its admission into the union. The su- preme court of the United States vir- tually decided this question adversely to the preconceived opinion that West Virginia was state, when Chief Jus tice Fancy, upon an appeal case from Wheeling court coming before the court of last resort, ordered the word West stricken from the papers, re- marking that "this court has no knowledge of any such state within the federal union as West Virginia"

The most remarkable was a village of sixty-6ve underground dwellings near the summit of one of the volcanic foothills of the San Fran cisco mountaineering.

Triaa OF Harvesters.


We take the following from the philadcl-
phia Record OF last Wednesday.
The great competitive trial OF harvesting
machines at the Moorestown, N. j., Fair,
Tuesday, June 10th, attracted very large
attendance of practical farmers, and the
test was watched with the closest interest.
For the trials an acre of heavy green rye
was selected. The shrewd farmer mana
gers of the Fair Association had "peppered
the grain" as they gleefully acknowledged
when the combined reapers and binders
would stick at more than usually heavy
spot, where the grain had been sown dou-
BILE thick and treated with an extra spread
of phosphate. Nine machines engaged in
the trial, as follows. The Buckeye, Cham
pion, Excelsior, Johnston, Estherly, Deer
ing, Osborne and Walter A. Wood combin-
ed reupers and binders and the Hubbard
separate cleaner and binder
The performance of each of the competi-
tors was the subject of a great deal OF
critical comment, and each spectator was
allowed to Judge for himself, there being
no prizes given nor any award of excel
| lence made by official committees.
The first machine in the rye, the Buck
eye, exhibited evidences of being of very
heavy draft; and although its two strong
| mules worked with great vigor they did
| not succeed in concealing the fact that
more power was necessary. The binding
was indifferent, and the sheaves were
thrown out irregularly, frequently catching
together and choking up the binder.
| The Champion dragged the bundles bad
| ly, dropped great deal of the grain, and
was twice nearly stuck.
| The Excelsior worked so badly that II
was compelled to stop two-thirds of the
| way up its first swath.
The Hubbard separate CLEANER and bind
err following a Triumph reaper, went down
the swath with precision, and bound every
sheaf without a skip. .-..
| The Johnston, which followed the Hub.
bard, dragged its sheaves and strung them
together so badly that they looked like
linked sausages.
The Deering machine was almost q total
failure. 1t worked badly, failing to cut a
part of the grain, and did the least of any
of the combined machines. The bundles
hung together and the grain was badly
scattered.
The Osborne succeeded admirably, con.
sidering the extraordinary condition Of the
green rye.
The Walter A. Wood did the best work
of the day among the combined machines
and escaped being absolutely stuck, but
its performance, while not a complete
failure, was far from a success.
Harman and Hasscrt are local agents fo
the Osborne, and are selling large mum
ber of the machines.
