HISTORY OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Matthews, elected from the Ninth District, produced a paper showing that he had taken and subscribed before a Notary Public, in Greenbrier County, an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, but was informed by the President that it was not the oath re- quired to be taken by a Senator. He refused to take the prescribed oath, and his seat was declared vacant.
In the House, John J. Thompson, of Putnam, John T. Beard, from the Fourth Delegate District, James Withrow, of Greenbrier, and Elliot Vawter, of Monroe, refused to qualify. The contest by John S. P. Carroll for the seat of William Brumfield, of Wayne, was sustained ; that of John Dawson against Lewis Dyche, of Morgan, together with that of John Michael against Abijah Dolly, of Hardy, was dismissed.

January 25th the House received a copy of a joint resolution adopted by the General Assembly of Vir- ginia, the object of which was the reunion of the two States. It declared : "That the people of Virginia deeply lament the dismemberment of the old State, and are sincerely desirous to establish and perpetuate the reunion of the States of Virginia and West Virginia, and that they do confidently appeal to their brethren of West Virginia to concur with them in the adoption of suitable measures of cooperation in the restoration of the ancient Commonwealth of Virginia, with all her people and up to her former boundaries."
In response the House, on the 28th of February, set forth in a preamble to a series of resolutions : "That the citizens of West Virginia deeply regret the civil strife-for which they were in no way responsible -in the midst of which they secured their State organi- zation, yet they regard their separate State existence of the most vital importance to them, and have no pur- pose or intention whatever of reuniting with the State of Virginia."
