It was ous of the finest Church buildiuge which we have ever seen iu a towu so small as ours, and had been erect ed with taste aud great expense.

It shows conclu sively that the party retaius nothing beyond its more name and—an imperfect organiza tion. Having wisely abandoned its principles, and thrown its extreme and impracticable leaders over-board, it would still retain its organization, and battle for tha spoils under the old usuie, but upon a new platform! — This is tho vory essence aud spirit of tlio Res olutions recently adopted by a State Conven tion of tho Democratic party in Minnesota, and it oontains an instructivo lesson to Uu Hill-l\K>mbs Democracy in (Korgts. Nor aro tho more intelligent uud moderate men of tho lab* Democratic party in Georgia disinclined to hoed these ominous warnings. They arc getting tlicir eyes opened to the fact that fossil leaders and a venal press can nev succeed in resurrecting tlio party, oven in this State. They realize the fact that crata bavo ceased to accept mere viruleuci abuse in lion of argument and political is The People, they find, aro growing weaiy of this perpetual din and cant about “respecta bility," “nigger supremacy," “State Rights, “tlu* Union as it was," “white mau’s govern ment,” “Southern (misconceptionsof) honor," aud so forth. They fully realize the fact tbut Uu* only distinctive issues of the Democratic party, proper, were Retried the day in which Geu. Lee made a formal surrender of tho Con federate forces ; that theuceforth tho Democ racy had nothing either of a State or national policy to stand npou ; and that a ro-uuiou of this eouutry upon tlio priuciples which tri umphed iu the war of I860, is inevitable. As well might au Englishman talk of tho resur rection of the Heptarchies, or the restoration of the Saxon Dynasty, as for Southern Demo crats to talk about “the Constitution as it wux," or attempt to foist upou au intelligent people such leaders am Hill and Toombs. And it ry climax of folly to attempt to build jw party" upon the ruins of an old one thus so effeotually consigned to the heca tombs. Conservatism is a good thing when properly understood, aud when in its proper place. But to-morrow. And whon a set of political leaders have, after a fail trial, aud into the oo-operatiou of all men of their section, re- gardle.sa of parly, mado a siguul and disastrous failure—their dogmas exploded, their theories abandoned; aud when the very name of their ancient organization has fallen with disrepute even with its friends; under such circumstan ces, it is the supremest folly to attempt the rebuilding of the purty—a party which has nothing to support it.but the memories of the disappointments, of (he heart-bnruings, the hatreds and bickerings of a past decade. We rejoico to see that the more able and respectablo portion of the Democratic press, iu this State, is awakeniug to a realiza tion of these plain facts; and that they have boldly proclaimed a purpose henceforth to deal with liviug issues, and to cease to treat ns enemies those of their fellow men who hon estly differ with them iu opinion. An influen tial Democratic paper, (the Brunswick Appeal) uow before us, declare its desires to bo that “the principles aud issues (of the Democratic party) whTcn have ceased to have any practi cal importance, should cense to vex the public mind." This sentiment is rc-echoed by otb Democratic journals, in other sections of the S»ate; uud wo happeu to kuow that they meet with a hearty response hom tho moro intelli gent and lespocluble portion of ilio late party throughout (he State. This is the first step. In the process of time—and that time is not vory remote,either— Democrats will vio w ith Republicans iu the ad vocacy aud support of those great principles of free government, for which they erewhile were wont to deuounce Republicans ns “spawns oi hell;" they will advise pence and re union upon the basis of All Rights f*>r All, whereas they once sought to set son against father, and father against soil, and I urn our State into a Pandemonium o haired and ceaseless contention. BowtWvIT* Fuels anl lb» Kn«iulv*f»« Horn* fete. The Enquirer, uo*-r the Million of Fact* and Figure!, show it* inability i» comprehend tha former, aud ita capacity to misuse aud fal* *tfy the latter. Perhaps ita brains have be come addled to figure out votarien from Dem ocratic defeats, which have been one of ita chief occupations for tho lust eight years; at all event*, it* effort to make out that there has beeu au increase iu the public debt since the present administration came into power shows its utter incapacity to understaud a simple statement, or an ignorance of the aub- ject which is inexcusable in a public journal. Tho Euquirer object* to tbo public debt statement ou the ground that it appears promptly ou the first day of tbo mouth, and culls this “unprecedented," when any one who knows anything about tbo matter knows that it lisa, with one exception, been given to tho public on the first day of each month since Mr. Boutwell baa been Secretary of the Treasury. The second objection is that the bonds issued aud lent to tho Pucifio Railroad are uot included in tho monthly statement, and proceeds to deduct the total umouut of these bonds from the decrease iu tho debt since March 1. and thereby figures out an inorease in the debt. Passing by the fact that the ex act Aiuouut of tho Pacific Railroad bonds is given on every statement of the public debt which Secretary Boutwell has issued, wo will prescut the official figures of tho state of tho public debt on March 1 and October 1, 1869.

The Enquirer admits that thin is a very sat isfactory statement, if true—and it is true, ev ery word of it. Secretary Boutwell includes iu his statements tho accrued interest, which, however, is not due, and is really no part of the debt until it is duo; but we will, however, take this into tho calculation.

Richmond, October 7.—In tho Henato tho protest »>i the Republican caucus against the legality of tbo body, was taken up and read at length. It auuouucc* that the Republican members reserve to tbemselve* the right, at any time, to secede from tlio present Legisla ture and orgauizn by themselves a legal and loyal Legislature. The Senate voted to lay it on the table. In tho discuRHion a Republican saiil he regarded those who joined in making this protest or representing the Administration and Congress, until the President and Con gress should decide otherwise. It wo* announced that Gen. Canby has re plied to the committco of the Legislature which wuited ou him, that ho had no com munication to make. Gov. Walker ha* sent in his message on the 15th Amendment. Ho says: “The people of this Commonwealth, at the lute election, by an overwhelming majority, accepted and adopted the principle Nought to be incorporated into tho Constitution by this amendment, viz: Tho civil and political equality of all men before the luw. Tho well known honor and integrity ot the people ot Virginia forbid even tho supposition that Ihey would tail to faithfully adhere to and maintain, while necessary and possible, any principle to which they had yielded their adherence.— Virginia always fulfills, iu the most ample good faith, all her pledges; but our people, by this action, have not only placed the prac tical rights of all our citizens upon a firm and enduring basis, they have accomplished much more : They have increased the prospective power and influence of onr State in tho na tion’s counsels by broadening tho basis of rep resentation under the fourteenth article of the Constitution of tho United States. When in any State the right of suffrage is abridged, except for crime, the basis of representation must bo reduced in a corresponding propor tion. Although we have wisely settled this question so far ns our State is concerned, aud banished forever from tho theater of Slate politics this prolific cause of irritation niul discord, thero is reasonable ground for appre hension that if tho Fifteenth Atucndmout should fail of adoption us a part of tho Fed eral Constitution, onr State may bo flooded with and the control thereof pass to tho hands of a class of emigrants Irorn tbo great States lying upon or near our borders, who will seek the enjoyment of those civil and political rights accorded to them hero but denied to them there. Self protection, therefore, de mands that we do onr part towards scouring the ratification ot that amendment. Our in i' rests require it, our faith is pledged to it.” He considers th«: •'lection of Senator* clearly a requisite to admission, and adds tlmt com plete r« t*.ration is accomplished bv admission to representation in Congress, uud there can be uo question that admission to representa tion may. to some extent, depend upon tha presentative* elected. While tho election of Senators would fully complete every prepar ation necessary for the prompt admission of tlu State to representation to both Houses of Congress, the election of Hiiiluble men for these exalted positions won 1*1 uumistHkably demonstrate tho sincerity of onr past action, and afford a sure quaranteo of onr intentions and purposes for Clio future. In conclusion ho says: “Permit mo to con gratulate yon upo.i the progress already made towards tho roalOifetiou of tho Statu to civil government. Its good effect* are already visi- blo everywhere within tho State. Confidence is being restored; commerce is reviving; min ing and manufacturing enterprises rre being organized; capital is seeking investment in our public improvements, aud in our rich ag ricultural and mineral lands, am* above uud more gratifying than all, joy aud hope are taking the place of gloom and despondency; peace and prosperity aro onco more dawning upon our dcHolatcd laud.

"Respect fully (Signed.) “Gilbert C Walker." The legislature adjourned after reading the Governor’s inenhiige. Th** Gov* rntir iu his message, expresses his conviction that the Legislature would ratify the 15th Amendment voluntarily, and even if it was uot a requisite to admission. He re commended the appointment at this session of standing commutes*, and in view of the fact that onr educational and judiciary system must be remodeled and placed in harmony with the Constitution and onr internal im provements demand tho gravest consideration. The caucus of the Conservative members of tho Legislature, to-night, resolved to adopt tho 14th and 15th Amendment* at onco.

Richmond, Oct 8.—Both Houses of the Leg islature to-day ratified the 14th ami 15tb Amendments. In the House there were only six votes against them, aud iu the Senate only four against tho 14th and two against the 15th Oue of the latter being a colored Republican Senator, who declined voting because the Leg islature is illegal. Tho Legislature, by joint resolution, then adjourned till October 18th. In the House an amendment to the bill pass ing the 15th amendment, making it take ef fect on and after the admission of tho Stat* to the Union, only received five votes. In the same body a resolution was offered that iu view of doubts expressed about the le gality of this Legislature, it will, after udmis- siou to the Union, re-enact the 14th and 15th Amendments. Tho resolution was referred. Iu the Senate to-day, before adjournment, & resolution was offered pledging tho re-onact- ment of the two amendments after the admis sion of the State, and was pending when the Seuate adjourned. It was opposed by a Con servative Senator as casting doubt on tho al ready pledged faith of Virginia. Geu.
