THE OLD DOMINION.

R1cnhoND, September 21.-Goyernor Walker
WAS installed as Provisional Governor at the
pubernatorial mansion to-day at noon, General
Candy being present. Governor Wells turned
over the ofice to the new ircum bent, who took

were no ceremonies and'io demonstration save
the gathering of considerable crowd of white
and colored people to congratulate the new
Governor, who shook han,is with them.
Governor Walkers first appointment, made
after his assuming the duties Of his Office to-
day, was that Of Captain Vim. E. Cameron,
editor of the Petersburg Index, as his secretary.
CAPTAIN Cameron was an officer in the confed-
crate ermy, and one of the first snd most d.
termined supporters of Walker and the Con.
servati}e ticket in the late campaign.

A PIOUS FRAUD.

New YORK, September 21.-The Methodist
Book Concern, No. sos Broadway, is the loser
of several hundred thousand dollars BY cor
ruption and fraud. The deficit was discovered
by the Rev. DR.. Lanahan, the new agent. The
frauds have been going on for eight or nine
wears, and seems to lie in the fact that DR..
Porter allowed his son, who was paper bro
ker, to charge heavy commissions on the pur-
chase of paper used by the establishments. 1r-
regularities are also reported in the binding
department. The investigation is still in pro-
