1t Affects the New States.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Assistant
Attorney General Shields, of the In
terror Department, has given the
Secretary Of the Interior an opinion
as to the effect of the seventeenth
section of the act admitting the new
states, which refers to the act of l84l
tthe original presumption act), and
repeats the same as to the new states.
He holds that, taking the whole Sec
ton together, the intent was not to
repeal the presumption laws, but to
make grant of lands in lieu of the
eighth section of the act of l84l,
generally known as the Internal I'm
provement Grant, and to repeal that
section as to the new states; that
the act of 1841 was carried into the
revised statutes, and repealed in
1873; that if Congress had intended
to repeal the presumption laws, it
could have done so by repeating the
sections of the Revised Statutes APP
pertaining thereto, or by apt words
so declaring, and not by repeal of
the old act OF l84l, and that the pre-
emption laws as contained in the
Revised Statutes, except as to the
Internal Improvement Grants, are
still in force in the new states.

CHARLEsTowN, W. VA, Dec. In
the Circuit Court, yesterday, Judge
Joseph $. Duckwall rendered bis
opinion in the celebrated case Of the
Fidelity Insurance, Trust and Safe
Deposit Company, trustee, vs.. the
Shenandoah Valley Railroad Com
pany. The suit was brought for the
purpose Of having a foreclosure Of
the mortgages on the road. The Gen.
trail Improvement Company, by pc
tition, set up a claim TO certain
mortgage bonds which the railroad
company, in 1878, agreed TO issue
and deliver TO it, bat failed To Go 80.
The case was before this court ca
the report of +. w. Brown, ccmmi~.
sioner, to whom the case was refer
ed, to ascertain the amount due the
Central Improvement Company as
damages against the railroad COM
pany for its failure TO perform its
part Of the contract Of 1873. The
commissioner reported the amount
to be S100,000,00S. SundIy excep-
tions were taken to his report The
Judge oyerruled all the exceptions
inconsistent with bis opinion, and
decided that the Central Improve
meat Company was entitled TO re-
cover against the railroad company
$4,000, without interest or costs,
and that this amount was a first lien
on the road. The opinion is great
surprise. as those who expected this
debt TO be placed as IA first lien ex-
pected likewise that the amount de-
creed would be much larger while
those who expcc ed limited recov-
cry are much surprised at finding II
placed rs a first lien. The attorneys
fer the Central improvement Com
pany will at once take the case to
the Supreme Court of the State, TO
be finally adjudicated.

clares that the general verdict Of the press
on the proposition to increase the salary

other condition. proposing that the num-
