Heredity is likewise at Important factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are bort with tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous forms is sure to crop out some time in life. Not only poisons in the blood ! _ sue responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down and becomes poor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, boils, and various skin eruptions.

Oct 19.— (Special)—West Virginia has filed Supremo court an answer to the bill of complaint filed against It by Vir ginia, In which the latter seeks have West Virginia to assume a share of the debt previous to the forming of the State of West Virginia. John G. Carlisle former secretary of treasury, is of counsel for the defen dant. In the suit Is Involved an import ant question of the relations of two sovereign states, as well as some $15,090,000. In the demurrer the State of West Virginia denied that the jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court could be extended to the case Insti tuted by Virginia, because, It was claimed, the Supreme Court could not enforce a judgment for money against one of the sorerign States of the Union In any way or manner, was also contended that Virginia had no suable Interest In the demands for money made. These and other grounds upon which the demurrer was made were answered by the Vir ginia attorneys, and the court Issued an order requiring West Virginia answer the bill of complaint origin ally filed by Virginia.

In her answer West Virginia ad mits that the money appropriated and the payment of the annually ac cruing interest on the debt prior to 1861 and the formation of the sinking fund for the ultimate redemption of the debt was derived from taxes Im posed upon property subject to tax ation throughout the entire State, but avers that the large amount thus de rived, to which the present Stnto of West Virginia, then a part of Vir ginia, contributed her full share, was not kept Intact by Virginia after her ordinance of secession, but was used by ber "In the administration of the so-called State government at Rich mond and for many other purposes while she claimed to be a part of the Confederate States of America and that part of the sinking fund so ex pended should be accounted for” to West Virginia and constitute a credit to her In the settlement of her equi table proportion of the debt.
