mani.

nent.
The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser having said there was no guaran.
ty that the Virginia Legislature would
ratIiy the Fifteenth Amendment unless
the test oath were enforced, the Rich
mod Wing says:
we havo declared time after time,
and In the most emphatic manner, that
the General Assembly OF Virginia will,
as soon as possible after It Ia permitted
to convene, proceed 10 the ratification
Of the amendment In question. We
have never entertained u shndow of
doubt on the subject, and certainly
could never have written line or syl-
liable suggesting such a doubt. This
has been the pivotal point OF every ar
gument we have made on the subject,
aud has been urged as the great reason
Qeaving good faith and fair dealing
out OF view why our General Assembly
should be allowed 10 assemble and act
without being trammelled by the test
oath. We may here add that we do
not believe that a solitary Walker
member elect OF that body will hesitate
moment ABOUT voting to TRtlty the
Fifteenth Amendment. We have en-
deavored to show that tho object OF the
reconstruction measure was 10 promote
loyalty In the South, and TO induce
those called 'ex~rebels' 10 accept and
ratify the Constitutions embodylng the
conditions and requirements that Con.
RteSs prescribed MS essentials 10 their
reconstruction. II Is shown by Geu,
Canby's oIAcIPl returns that out OF
2l9 81 votes cast In our election, all but
9.lS6 were given for the Constitution.
Is 1t not II sGlG,evIdent proposition that
those who voted TO ratIfy u Constitution
establishing universal suffrage and
equality OF political rights in this
SINe, will, In the same Undertaking
manner, favor the ratification OF the
Fifteenth Amendment, which only ex i.
tends 10 other States the principle thus
applied to VlIgIuia2 To refuse this
after doing that would be nnmlxed

FIurry In the Liverpool Cotton Mar.
ket-The Byron scandal.


LONDON, Aug. 80.
The TINES In the Manchester cotton
trade reports, says 1t ls admitted returns
ofthe sales OF cotton at Liverpool were
ialslfied every day last week; lts figures
really augmented 10 but little more
than half OF those given to the public
90 the result. There Is something like
panic at Manchester, and for the pres.
ent oil confidence Is Lost In the truth OF
the returns from Liverpool. There 10
no disposition 10 do business either on
the part Of seller or buyer.
The article IN the Atlantic, by Mrs,
Stowe on Lord and Lady Byron, Gre.
atea considerable excitement. The Tel
eorGph comments editorlally, and says
without further explanation this awful
story cannot be accepted as true. The

The lsity Of the Methodist Church
have decided In favor OF lay delegation.
The returns Of tho vote are not yet
completed, but enough Is known to
show that the vote will be but little
more than ten per cent. OF the whole
membership, and that OF the whole vote
about twothIrds will bo In favor Of
lay delegation. The opponents OF The
measure lay much stress on the meagre.
ness Of the vote, and claIm that the
non'votlng portion are opposed to or at
Ieas! not In Iavor oil the change. 1t Is,
however, generally conceded to be de-
cisIve In favor ofthe new law. AL, the
church papers, with two exceptions,
accept the vote Us, II not conclusive, at
least indicative Of the wishes OF The
people.
The measure, however, In order to
become law, requires n change of the
constitution OF the church. Such
change can only be effected by con.
current vote Of three. fourths OF all the
itInerant ministers. Tho admission OF
laymen TO the law-maklng body of the
church, can therefore be effected only
by the general concurrence OF the min.
Istry. The question is to be submitted
By the Bishops presiding to the annual
conferences at their next meetings, aud
will be decided 80 that II the change Is
approved, lay men may be admitted 10
the next session Of the general confer.
ence, In 1872. Undoubtedly a large
mSjOrIty Of the ministry will vote for
the change, but it Is not quite certain
that the required Ihree-iourths vote
will be given In Its favor.
