WEST VIRGINIA. Will PAY?

The preliminary decision rendered
by Charles q. Eittlepage, Master in
the suit against west Virginia appar.
entity holds that West Virginia should
pay 23.s per cent Of the total Viz
ginia debt. From the Information re.
ceived from Washington, It is not
clear whether any deductions are TO
be made from this finding. II no de-
auctions are to be made, the total
debt to be assessed against West Viz.
ginia will be about s%si5Oo,o0o, with
interest.
The Inteiligencer does not believe
that the state OF West Virginia will
eyer agree to pay this sum or any
sum approaching II. One interesting
question obtrudes Itself throughout
the entire debt controversy. That is:
How will any finding against the
State of West Virginia be enforced?
There is no precedent in the legal
proceedings OF this country, that In
dicate how a legal process for debt
can be enforced against q sovereign
state. There are numerous prece-
dents to Indicate that such a process
cannot be enforced!
Be It understood that West Wiz:
rinin has never admitted the iuris;
+ diction of the Supreme Court in this
case. West virginia has appeared be;
fore the Supreme Court throughout
these entire proceedings, an unwili.
Ing litigant. From the very start i
hns been denied the propriety and
LEGALITY OF the proceedings.
Therefore, NO allegation OF repudia:
ton can lay against West Virginia In
line event that West Virginia refuses
lo nay this sum. This Is Of course,

Sunday Closing in Force

Springfield has had its first dry Sunday. Every
Saloon in Sangamon county closed on Sunday,

Sunday violation of the state law and informed
them that the law would be enforced. Just sa-
loon man. whose place is at the edge of Springfield,
doubted the word of Mr.. Wheeler. AS result he was
arrested and is before the court of Sangamon
county.
