Virgin IN.

1t is understood that the admission
of Virginia will be postponed until after
the holidays. This it is feared will
plovs rather disastrous to the WALKER
party. The Radical element will i'm
prove the interval by working for the
overthrow of all the proceedings had
b. the Legislature in October. Their
object now is to have that body organ
lied on n Test Oath basis, admitting to
seats the opponents of those members
who cannot take the Oath. This would
give the proscriptives clear majority
in both Houses, through which they
ex pect to control the political future OF
the State. 1t is of little moment with
the Radicals that Virginia has complied
with all the conditions imposed by Con-
gress and tie Administration. So long
as their men are not given clear mon
opOly of the offices, the reconstruction
of the State is deemed insufficient and
she must be kept out in the cold.

Interference of the Admiaistratiou A I'm
Ohio and The Souihern states

We learn that q particular friend OF
the Admi who is permitted 10
speak iu its behalf, has written that il
is indispensable that Ohio should ratify
the obnoxious Fifteenth Amendment,
which she has already rejected. To
secure such ratification heis authorized
to say that if any Democratic member
of the General Assembly will vote for
said Amendment he shall receive an
honorable and lucrative office from the
President of the United Stata IS. Here is
bid and a bribe for our Democratic
friends. All they have to do, in order
to render themselves pecnniarily inde-
pendent, is to violate their princi pies,
be treac herous to othesentiments Of those
who elected them, and for monetary
consideration, promised in advance, go
for a measure which degrades the
States, disgraces the whites, aud in
creases the central power Of the Federal
Government.
If they will only do these slight
things, they may have anything 10 The
gift of the President which they desire.
We shall see how many will sell out on
these terms. We hope not one will be
found who will TINS purchase tempo
rary profit at the price of dishsnor.
The proposition reflects much discredit
on the Administration. AT the sIme
time job Stevenson, 1t the Admins
tration's suggestion, introduces bill
which offers universal amnesty and
removal of al disabilities TO the South.

this Amendment. The bribe 10 tie

Another swiudiipg Patriot

WILLIAM C. GRAY is the name of the
"loyaT" villain who has just victimized
the New York money. lenders SO heavi
ly. When he left Treasury Clerkship
to 60 into business in New York, be
carried with him endorsements as to
probity, piety and other "loyal" gifts,
from Senator FOSTER of Connecticut,
Senator MORRILL, of Maine, and General
BUTLER of Massachusetts,. His father
had mouthed political prayers in the
Senate, and damned the Democracy
with such fervor that there was no ques.
tioniug the patriotism of the young
saints parentsge. With such antece
dents and endorsements, he could not
help succeeding. At first he acted rs
cashier for a leading New York firm.
Then he started business on his own
account. In such truly "loyar way
did be manage matters that he has been
enabled to take trip to Canada with
congenisl companion, carrying along
several hundred thousand dollars in
cash, procured by a refined species of
thieving.
The Baltimore Gasette thus describes
his, method Of operating: The New
York Bounty Loan certificates are part
ly printed and partly written-the sum
for which each certificate is filed up
being in writing. Getting possession
of a number of these bonds of the de-
nomination of one thousand dollars, he,
or his accomplice, obliterated the zone"
with an acid, and inserted "ten" in
stead. Certain registered bonds of the
United States are also said to have been
tampered with, but in what manner is
not stated. Here then was an easy way
to turn what was originally a very
small capital into one of very large di-
mensions. The next thing to be done
was to realize on the altered bonds
whatever amount Of money mi sht be
required by the good young man, either
in his business or for his pleas
ures-fOr, after all it will be
observed, he had bis pleasures. And
here, again, the marvel of the thing lies
in its simplicity. Wealthy banking
firms, as we'll as the generality of banks,
are in the habit of lending money on
call on collateral securities, aud with
quite a number Of the former, aud som
of the latter. Mr.. GRAY lodged his
fraudulent United States bonds, and
bounty loan certificates. md obtained
money therefor to the extent, it is sup
posed, of upwards half million of
dollars. The actual losses Of the prin-
cipal parties victimized foot up already
three hundred and ten thousand dollars,
and there are others besides whose
names are reported, but whose losses
have not been made public. Moreover,
a closer examination of these bogus Sc.
curities has been instituted, and the
further fact has been ascertained that,
besides being altered, some of them were
securities that had been stolenl

in this community, to-wit: Sandy Bill

there had been an ill feeling existing
between them for long time, caused by
the belief of Sandy Bill that Marlbor-
ongh Bill had intruded upon his domes-
tic relations and utterly destroyed bis
peace and Happiness with his wife.
With this belief resting upon his soul,
be was ever ready to strike down the
man whom he believed had dishonored
his family if he could only be sure of his
guilt. On last Monday night, soon
after dark, and before Sandy Bill had
left his residence to 60 to his bushes

soon resulted in Sandy Bill drawing his

the. matter, were told, by Sandy Bill

did not thirk he had hurt him badly,

borough Bill was lying upon his face on
the floor; the persons present seeing
that he remained motionless went to
him, and found that he was dead.
Green, upon seeing thas be was dead,
Immediately left the house, and getting
horse he rode some three or four miles
to O mans house named Pickler,
and there remained the balance
of the night, leaving, however. about
daylight afoot. He was found dead
at about ten o'clock in the day, at the
distance of about two miles from Pick
ler's with his face in small branch
water about six inches deep. 1t is sup.
posed that he had stopped down for the
purpose OF getting a drink, and was
seized with a fit of spOplexy and died,
as there were no marks of violence Oh
