IMP ORTANT BRIEF !.
FILED BY CONRAD.
Has Bearing on Debt Case,
Which May Be Called
Next Week.
Especial to The Times-Dispatch. !

tspecialt to The Times Dispatch
Washington, October 3.-Believing
that the case Of Virginia against West
Virginia will be called in It's regular
Court next week, Major Holmes Con-
rad, counsel for the holders of Vir-
ginia certificates. to-day filed an i'm
portant brief bearing on the case with
the clerk of the court.
After stating the case, Major Con-
rad says: THE bill was filed by vIr-
ginia to have ascertained the proper
ton OF the public debt OF the COM
monwealth of Virginia which should
Justly and equitably be borne by West
such amount to the exoneration OF
Virginia from that portion OF the cam
mon burden.
THE first and controlling subject of
inquiry is, what plan or method shall
be adopted for ascertaining this pro-
posed and urged by the parties to the
cause.
TT would seem to be obvious that
the proper proportion of this public
debt which should be borne by West
Virginia should be ascertained by the
proportion that her territory and popu-
lation bore to the territory and popu-
lation of the Commonwealth of Vir-
sin!a on the LIST day OF January. 1861.
or on May 13, 1862. when Virginia con-
sented to the erection Of the new state.
or on the Goth of June, 1853. when
West Virginia was admitted into the
Union.
"on the part of Virginia and her
bondholding creditors. who are the ben
eticiaries of the trust which Virginia
took upon herself, it is insisted that
the only just and reasonable >lan or
method for ascertainlng the proportion
Of the debt to be borne by West Nir-
ginia Is that stated and approved by
the writer's on international or public
law, and which was announced by Mr..
Justice Field In the case of Hartman
VS. Greenhow. in which he said:
"'During the war a portion of her
territory was separated from her. and
by Its people new State named West
Virginia was formed. and by the Con-
greSs of the United States was admitted
into the Union. Nearly one-third of
her territory and people We're taken
from her Jurisdiction. But as the
whole State has created the indebted
ness for which the bonds We're issued
and participated In the benefits of the
money raised, it was but just that d
portion of the Indebtedness should be
assumed by that part which was taken
from her and made new State.'
In concluding his brief Major Con-
rad says that In his opinion the only
method of ascertaining a proper way
of apportioning the debt Is by lnterna-
tional law. P. N. MEG. {.
