DEFERRED MATTER
West virginia's Certificates.

A petition has been presented to the
Legislature of Virginia from the holders
of the West Virginia certificates asking
that steps be taken to effect settlement
betwt On the States of Virginia and West
Virginia, SO as to locate the responsibility
for the paymelIt Of these evidences of debt
There are are about $l3, 100000 Of them,
in round numbers, nearly all of which
were issued under the Funding Bill of
1871. There is nearly $7,0O0,000 Of the
ante bellum debt yet lnfunded, West Vir-
ginia's estimated proportion Of which is
not included in the sum above mentioned.
Virginia holds the original bonds, funded
under the law of 1871 and will DO so, until
a settlement with West Virginia is eff
fected. as she is obligated tot pay over to the
creditors the amount that may he ascer-
tanned to be due by West Virginia. Under
that law she only holds in trust, and does
not grssto pay more than may be paid by
West Virginia.
There should he no question as to the
necessity and policy of bringing about an
adjustment between the two States, so
that the holders of the. certificates might
be paid Upon What basis such a settle
ment could be effected no one seems to
know. Both States deny their response
bility for the one-third assigned by the
act Of 1871 10 West Virginia-an assign
ment West Virginia has never recognized
as just or valid. The debt exists, howev-
er, and the longer it remains as it is. the
greater will be the embarrassments when
a final adjustment is made.
Should this controversy. finally get to
the Supreme Court Of the United States,
the question might come up as to the va
lidity OF the act creating the State of West
Virginia out of a part of the territory of
Virginia, without the consent of this
State. Should it at any time be brought
before the Court it is possible that the
whole transaction would be pronounced
unconstitutional and that West Virginia
is still a part of Virginia, each bound alike
for the whole debt. We think the two
States ought to adopt some plan of settle
ment and determine on some arrangement
by which the controversy will be forever
disposed of.

The bourbon majority i'll the Legislature
seems to be run mad with greed for power
and malice towards the Readjusters.
Having secured a two-thirds majority in
each of the branches of the Legislature, by
scouting justice. law and the Constitution,
they are proceeding to rob the Executive
Department of it's constitutional preroga-
tives and deprive it of all power-practi-
cally absorbing it in the Legislative De-
partment. In order to get control of the
charitable and educational institutions of
the State, resolutions have been gpassed
taking from the Governor the power
to make the appointments, which have
adhered in the Executive ever since the
State has had an existence. Following
upon this, sweeping vacancies are declared
and authority given to fill them by the new
power created for that purpose. The spirit
which directs and controls in all this is
revolutionary to the last degree, and is as
certain to bring to grief the authors and
promoters of it as the sun rises and sets.
IT partizan considerations were all that it
involved, we could wish for nothing more
effective to offend the conservative infu-
ence of the State than the policy inaugur-
ated and being enforced by the majority of
the Legislature. They seem to be indif-
ferent to and ignorant OF public senti-
ment, and reckless Of the future conse-
quences of their own acts. They are
grasping for few petty Offices, regardless
of all the restraints Of law and order, and
will be as certain to cause popular re-
vulsion as another election will take place.
A bill has been passed to remove from
the State Board of Education the control
OF the public schools, by creating County
Board of School Commissioners to consist
Of three persons, elected by the Legisla-
ture, sand when vacancies occur in said
Board, during the recess of the Legisla-
ture, the Circuit Court Judge is to fill
them. The effect of this bill will be to
vacate the offices of school trustees all over
the State on the LIST of April, and to fill
them in the mode prescribed, ignoring en-
tirely the State Board of Education. An
other bill has been introduced vesting in
An Electoral Board the appointment
of all registrars of election, now appointed
by the County Court Judges. because the
Electoral Board are identified with the
Bourbon party, and some of the County
Judges are in sympathy with. the Readjus-
tiers. In order to get the power to over
ride the veto of the Governor and consum-
mate these radical revolutionary measures
legally elected representatives of the peo-
pie have been deprived of their seats in
the Legislature to make places for rejected
Bourbon partizans. In this way the ma
jority of the Legislature is exercising it's
power and inaugurating methods to revo-
lutionize every department of the State
government they can reach.

Opposition to the Measure-PrOvisiOns

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 13-General Grant, who
is at Fortress Monroe, Va, telegraphed his con
gratulations tonight to Fitz John Porter, and
General Slocum and several distinguished gen
tlemen called upon Porter at his hotel here as
soon as it was announced that the Senate had
passed the bill restoring him to the rolls of the
army. 1t was observed, however. that most of
them were Democrats, and the jollifying that is
INDUCED in over this victory of Porter is now by
the Democrats alone Republicans who sup
ported the bill are not crying their
sentiments from house-tops. They seem
to feel that they have put enough
shame upon the escutcheon of obedient
soldiers for one day. Those who opposed the
bill regard the vote by which it was passed with
surprise Some of them doubt that the Presi-
dent will sign it. Many papers say there can be
40 doubt that bill will be passed within the
scope of another Congress which will give Porter
his back pay. General Browne, of Indiana, who
opposed the bill with such vigor, said tonight
that if Porter deserved the treatment he re
aeiyed at the hands of the Senate to-day, he
ought to be voted pay from the day he was dis
missed from the service to the day he will be
reinstated. and he had no doubt it will be done
His back-pay will amount to about 800, 900.

Tensas in the Convention.

4 question of serious conse-
quence to the Democratic party
will inevitably be presented to the
approaching congrcssional>convcn-
ton. We venture the assertion
that there is not an intelligent man
in.thc district who believes that
Tensas parish polled anything like
1920 Democratic votes III the recent
State election. Now the apportion-
ment OF representation in the con-
vention is made on the returns OF
that election. By this apportion-
ment Tensas will have nearly twice
the representation that any other
parish of the district will enjoy,
and moro than three and four times
the number of delegates of most Of
the parishes.
The theory of conventions is that
they are representative bodies, and
where they are party conventions,
that they represent the relative
strength of the party in the various
parishes. Indeed, this is the only
excuse for the existence Of conven-
lions.
To say that Tensas is entitled to
thirty-eisht delegates when her
Democratic vote perhaps did not
exceed 1000, while Ouachita has
only IA delegate with a vote OF
nearly 1900, and Lincoln and Rich
land only u delegates each with a
Democratic vote in each of 1900, is
to announce q party injustice that
we warn the managers will not and
cannot be submitted to by a free
and intelligent people for any
length of time. 1t amounts to dis
reimbursement in those parishes
where an honest return of the votes
was made The design of this out
rageously exaggerated return from
Tensas is so Extensively apparent
that we cannot conceive how the
convention can submit to it. Ten
sas was credited with $500 Demo
cratic votes for the purpose of CIV
ing her preponderating influence
in district affairs. This is the only
explain alton that such a reckless
disregard of the facts of the case
will admit of.--Monroe Bulletin.

Jig the bone Of the tAIgh, and am
putation of the leg will probably
be necessary. 1t is thought how
ever, the wound will not prove
fatal.
Robertson, the guard, will also,
il is thought, have to suffer ampu-
tation of the leg.
Cunningham, the trusty, who
rendered such praiseworthy ser
vices, is receiving the gratitude OF
the city, and will have powerful
aid in his behalf for pardon. He
was cut in the side with knife,
but the wound is not dangerous.
Capt. Johnson was beaten over
the head and back and is suffering
much pain from his wounds, but Is
still at his post.
Only the three convicts named
escaped, the others being captured
or driven back.
Wolff says there were nearly
fifty in The plot to escape, and is
severe in his denunciations of those
who did not follow, calling them a
lot Of id towards. He said
also, he was sorry he had not kill
ed George Alsop for going back on
his word. The arrangement be-
tween him and Alsop was TO stand

who dared approach them, and TO
remain until the whole gang in the
plot came out. This, he says Al
sop didn't do, while ne himself was
true to his word.-T-D.
Cunningham the trusty, has
since been pardoned.
