the Adoption of the Ibtla Amendment.

RICHMOND, Oct. 7.—ln the Senate, the
protest the Republican caucus against
the legality of that body was taken up
and read at length. : It announces that
the Republican members reserve tb
themselves the right at any time
to secede from:the present legislature
and organize by themselves a legal and
loyal Legislature. The Senate voted to
lay it on the table. In the discussion a
Republican said he regarded those who
joined in making their protest as repre
senting the Administration and Congress,
until the President and Congress should
decide otherwise was announced.
General Canby had replied to the Com
mittee of the Legislature which waited
on him. He had no communication to
make.
Governor Walker sent in a message on
the Fifteenth Amendment: He says the
people of this Commonwealth, at the late
election; by an • overwhelming majority,
accepted and adopted the principle
sought to be incorporated into the Con
stitution by this amendment, viz:
The civil and political equality of
all men before the law. The well known
honor and integrity of the people of Vir
ginia forbid even the supposition that
they would fail to adhere to and main
tain, 'While necessary and possible, any
principle to which they had yielded their
adherenCe. Virginia always fulfils with
most ample , good faith all her pledges;
but our people, by% their action, half()
not only placed the political rights of all
our citizens on a firm and enduring basis
they have accomplished much more,—
they have increased prospectively the
power and influence of our State in the
National Council by providing he basis
of representation .under the 14th article
of the Constitution of the United States..
When in any State the right of sugrags
is abridged, except for clime, the basis of
representation must be reduced in
corresponding proportion. Although we
have wisely settled this question so far
as our State is concerned, and • banished
from the theatre of State politics this
prolific source of irritation and discord,
there is reasonable ground for appre
hension that if the Fifteenth Amend
ment should fail of adoption, as a part of
the Federal Constitution, our State
nuey be flooded , with, and the eon- .
trol thereof pass into the hands of
a class of emigrants from the great States
lying upon or near our border, who will
seek the enjoyment of those civil or po
litical rights accorded to them here, knit
denied to them there: Self protection,
therefore, demands that we do our part
towards securing the ratification of that
amendment. Our interests require it—
our faith is pledged to it.
He considers the election of Senators
clearly a- requisite to admission, and
adds: Complete 'restoration •is accom
plished by the admission to representa
tion in Congress, and there can be no
question that admission to representation
may, to some extent,depend on the repre
sentatives elected. Whale the the election
of Senators would fully complete every
preparation • necessary for the prompt
admission of the State to representation
in both:Homes of Congress, the election
of suitable men for those exalted posi
tions would unmistakably demonstrate
the sitioority of our past action and afford
a sure guaranty of out intentions and
purposes for the future.
,In conclusion he says: Permit me to
congratulate you upon the progress al
ready made - towards the restoration of
the State to civil government." Its good
effects are already visible everywhere.

message, expresses the conviction that
the legislature: . would ratify the Fif
teenth Amendment voluntarily. even if
it was not a requisite to admission.' He
recommends the appointment, at this
session, of standing committees, in view
of the fact that the educational and judi

NEW YORK CITY.
Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
NEW YORE, Octooer 7, 1869
Rev. James Porter, late assistant agent
of khe Methodist Book Concern, prints' a
defence against the late - aspersions
thrown upon him by the publication of
the rumored defalcation in the concern.
Dr. Porter conclusively refutes all the
imputations of improper dealings with
any one during his official connection
with the conoern,and shows that he never
bought a pound of paper while tnere, all
purchases of this nature having been
made by Mr. Goodenough, the Superin
tendent Printer. Also, that he never
bought a penny worth's of supplies for
the bineery. and that hls son never, to
his knowledgn, made any purchase of
paper for the concern. Dr. Porter
proves that instead of defrauding the
concern, he for several years expended a
thousand dollars a year out of his pri
vate funds to meet his family ex
penses, besides performing thousands of
dollars worth of extra literary service to
aid the concern out of embarrassments,
amounting to 8170,000, brought about by
the division of the capital stock with the
Church South. Dr. Porter says if it can
be proved that he took one penny of
commissions on purchases for the con
cern, he is willing to be branded as a
thief and robber. But no such charge
has as yet eminated from the concern;
but the 'rumors ' which have probably
come from outside parties, have neces
sitated this denial.
Thomas C. Hillhouse has declined the
Republican nomination for Comptroller.
The Republican State Committee to
day nominated Gen. Sigel for Secretary
of State-and it is - understood he has ac
cepted.
