	Virginia-West Virginia Debt Settlement: Payment of the Virginia Debt (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In other words it assumes to apportion to West Virginia one-third of the debt as it not stands, simply on the ground that she has one-third of the territory and population formerly belonging to Virginia, and without reference at all to the question of resources and values.
		Virginia, by selling, donating, and disposing of those works as her own property, without regard to the rule laid down by Chancellor Kent, and without consulting West Virginia, must be taken to have accepted them on that basis, and is therefore chargeable with them on that basis.
		The Governor of Virginia, in his message of 1870, and again in 1871, and the Legislature of that State, by its funding bill, seem, however, to have entirely overlooked the foregoing considerations, and to have jumped to the conclusion that West Virginia should pay one-third of the debt.
