Colonel John s. Mosby, as published by the
Richmond papers:
MADISON, August II, 1873.
Dear Colonel The Indec is doing more
aud better than the combined city press. If
they don't haul off from Federal politics, they
will deeply hurt US. 1 am trying hard to get
them on the right track
1t were better to elect Grant the third and
the seventh term than go under Hughes and
his negroes. To us the defeat of negro rule
here is to save society and decent existence,
to save US from barbarism and ruin. Surely
General Grant and all Northern gentlemen
know that our white men, including over 5O,-
600 ex~Confederate braves in Virginia, are
the real moral, intellectual and political power
of the State, if not of the whole South, are
implicitly to be relied upon, and are invalu>
able as friends. 1t cannot be that he will
spurn prefer of reconciliation from such
men for the sake of Hughes and his hordes
Don't tire in your labors. Truly yours,
j. l.. KEMPER.

GETTING BACK.

The Vicksburg embroglio, details of
which have oeen given in these columns,
is nearing it's solution. Every effort has
been made to induce President Grant to
send q. S. troops there, but without avail.
The last is the telegram of Governor Ames
to the President, on July 29th, in which IS
stated as his ground, ir suggesting that
Gen. Grant again occupy the city with his
military, that it is a political controversy.
Gone side, the democrats, represented by
the whites, claim that they fear frauds on
the part of their opponents. The republl-
cans, consisting mainly of blacks, claim
that they fear frauds and also violence on
the part of the democrats. At one time
collision and bloodshed were feared by all;
now by the republicans but not by the
democrats, because they have become mas
tiers of the situation. 1t is they also OPP
pose the presence of troops at this time. "
That only in the interests OF peace and
protection to all does he suggest the pres
ence of troops.
This may all be correct, but we think
not. A number of republicans, including
the postmaster, asserted that troops were
not necessary, when acting Gov. Davis
made his effort only few days ago.
Things can scarcely have changed so much
since, else these very republicans would
side with the Governor. But they have
not. 1t would seem then that republicans
as well as democrats oppose the presence
of4 of nj
ty is purported to be given by correspon
dent to the Louisville Courier" which
we copy elsewhere, and we conclude that
Gov. Ames seizes the occasion to endeavol
to secure the supremacy there by armed
Intervention, which he implies the demo
Gratis already have peaceably. President
Grant seems to have seen through it. He
is said to be tired Of misrule in Louisiana
Mississippi and South Carolina, and il
would appear so from the following reply
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July .Sl--Hon. A. Ames. Jack
submitted to the President He declines to move thu
troops, except under call made strictly i'll accord
ance with the terms OF the constitution.
W; W. BELKsAP
Secretary OF War.
In this the President also falls back Oh
the Constitution. He will only act whe1
the terms of that supposed to be forgotten
instrument are complied with.
1t is indeed pleasant to think we are get
ting back to that document. Forgetting
it, or not regarding it has brought ILL
enough on the country and people.
We thank President Grant for so posi-
tive an allusion to the written COnstitu
ton. 1t makes us feel as if there was ;
day of prosperity ahead for the downtrod
den South. Her people will, if he continue
firm, have an incentive to eXertion no
felt since the war. and President Gran
will win a greater renown than he eve
obtained at the head Of his panoplied thou
sands.
