Who Struck Billy Patterson ?

A new candidate claiming the authorship
of the celebrated Fifteenth Amendment to
the Constitution has appeared. and gentle
reader, WHO do you think it is? The au-
thorship is claimed by no less parsonage
than the recently elected Governor of Vir-,
ginia- Gilbert G. Walker! The Washing
ton correspondent ofthe Richmond Dispatch,
in reciting the speeches and detailing the
scenes witnessed before the Reconstruction
Committee, when Virginia's fair fame was
draggled in the mud and through the mire-
says:
"Govcrnor Walker, on behalf of the peo-
pie and as their chosen Chief Executive, as
sured the committee that the Constitution
should be carried out to the very letter. He
claimed to be much older Republican than
many Of the Reconstruction Committee He
stated that 1T acas lie u7o gaze to Senator
Steoart, Of Nerada, the original draft and
idea Of the fifteenth amendment bill. The
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments had
been adopted and one Of thebest State con-
situations in the country had been adopted
almost unanimously by the voters of his
State" t
1t is little strange that Gov. Walker
never once thought Of telling the people of
Virginia, when he canvassed the State from
Norfolk to Lee, and from Pittsylvania to AL
exandria, that the country, and Virginia
particularly, were indebted to him for the
wise staiesmanship-the cruel punishment
of the 18th Amendmet
And it is marvellous that Gov Walker
has just now discovered that Virginia has
zone of the best State Constitutions in the
country" That was scarcely his opinion
when he made his speech in Bedford coun-
ty.
We were apprehensive that somebody was
to be deceived by the results Of that convass.
Our apprehcnsions are fast being realized.

r5,s,.. Admission Of VIRGINIA.

The members Of the minority or extreme
Radical wing of the Legislature OF Virginia
presented to the Reconstruction Committee
to day their protest against the admission OF
the State under its present form OF govern,
mcnt. They desire that the test-oath should
be administered to the Legislature, and that
the Legislature should take no part IN the
election of senators and other officers until
after the State is admitted.
This protest is the same as that presented
by them at the organization Of the Leglsla-
ture. Then it was signed by forty -four
members, now it is signed by twenty-eight,-
the others having bolted, and are now de-
handing the admission of the State as at
present constituted. Bland, the colored
State senator, is among the latter :,
Mr.. Ward, of New York, presented bill
in the House day providing Tor the adj
mission of Virginia, and that the clauses in
the new Constitution which, relate to SUI
traee, common free school fund, and that
colorcd men shall serve as jurors, shall never
be altered or repealed. The bill was refer
red to the Committee on Reconstruction.
At a meeting of the Reconstruction Com
mittee this morning the Democratic mem
bcrs moved the adoption of Mr. Farms
worths bill providing for unqualified admls-
sion, and Mr.. Whitcmore moved the adop-
ton Of MIR. Wards bill. Both motions were
defeated, and after discussion of the Pane
and Butler propositions, but without deter,
mining the matter, the committee adjourned
mill next Saturday.
