wore as 10 The KeInper.sIosbyC erre re

Tn publishing the following article from
the Wing Of yesterday, we do not wish TO
be understood az doing an! thing more than
giving our readers additional light upon the
subject of the Kemper- Mosby correspon'
dcrce. We shall of course publish also any
reply that may be made by the party or par
ties concerned TO these serious charges:
We perceive that an cff1rt Is being made to con.
meet FIX. Governor Walker with the late scandaious
assault upon Governor kemT.er. We are wholly ~
/, loss 10 see what motive Governor Walker could
have had for entering into tt!s conspiracy against
his succesorwho IL not ut al In his way, ~ rs u

ors-ard are not willing u believe that. as some

Some such ideas and questions had been
running through our own head. Not TO be
irreyerent. we would ask: What the devil
has Governor Walker got to do with it? He
and Kcmper are not rivals in aspirations:
they are not antagopistic, nor do they cross
each Others paths In any way that We know
Of. What motive. therefore, could Walker
have 10 aspersiug Kemper? None, we opine
and politicians are not apt TO do such things
without motive. Is there certain clique in
Richmond who think the present.a good OPP
portunity to break the wave Of popularity
which promises to watt the late Executive

When the charge was first made over a
responsible name in the Washington Chron-
acle that the Governor of Virginia had been
guilty of base treacbery TO bis party the
H'hl1 denounced the charge as false, and
gave somewhat detailed statement of the
tol ,1-,kI, fri ne ri.
NJ charges against the Governor. In Ibis
connection Ex-Governor Walkers name was
mentioned as one of the parties Instrumental
in having published grave imputatlons upon
the LOYALTY and good faith of Governor hem-
Der. Our authority fer this statement we at
the time asserted was gentleman well con-
ycrsant with the facts, and of unquestioned
yeracitv. His name We proposed to give
at any time Governor Walker denied the cor
rcctness Of our statement. But this Gov
error Walker has never done, publicly at
least, so we bare been and would have con-
tinucd content to let the matter rest there,
withstandug accumulated proof in our
possession to establish the fact that Governor
Walker "ros persistent in urging The publ
cation of Governor Kcn,pcr's private letters

arm,d as we were with proof to
subslautiate, or at least to justify,
all that We had said with reference
to Governor Walkers connection with
tie affair, we should have kept silent until
Governor Walkers denial challenged our
evidence but for the intimation that there is
"a certain clique in Richmond who think
the present good opportunity to break the
wave CT popularity which promises to watt
the late Executive. into Congress" Having
been the first to make the charge, we again
relaat ii, uninnaenccd by any "clique," for
il was made without consultation, indeed,
without the knowledge of one person in
Richmond, and when Governor Walker
Shall have denied it for himself over bis
own signature, then be will be confronted
with witness the correctness of whose
statements we will leave the public to pass
upon, as we will the proprety of our orig-
nal reference to the parties who are charged
with having been instrumental in sowing
the seed so well calculated to yield an album
daut harvest of disatlection in the Conserva-
tive party. "'What the - has Governor
Walker to do with it" is just what the peo-
pie ale curious to know. What he had to do
with it the public will know upon his denial
of amy completely with it.
