FEBPERS LETTER,

Blr. Kemper, the Governor of Virginia,
has certainly written q most remarkable
and mysterious letter in regard to his pres
ent position politically, and 10 his position
year ago. As an explanation it is vague,
unsatisfactory and inconclusive. IL bears
upon the face of it the stamp of insincerfty,
and leaves the impression of deception and
double-dealing,
To begin with the second portion Of his
communication-that in regard to his visit
to the President-GOvernor Kemper saws:
"Early in December last a desire, spon.
" taneousIy expressed, that 1 should call
and see the President, was conveyed to
"me orally from the best source" The
impression sought to be conveyed in this
sentence is that President Grant invited
General Kemper to call upon HIM. That
is the construction wh - Mr.. Kemper
would have us put upc q, If it be true,
why did he take so clumsy, blind and doubt,
ful way of stating it?
Now, is it true, or is it not that
the President invited him3 Who made the
first oVerture7 ga desire spontaneously
expressed" Spontaneously expressed
by whom? To whom1 WhenH And
where2 Upon the same subject and after
this spontaneous expression Mr.. Kemper
goes on to gay that he consulted with some
Of his friends, and after that II went be-
''cause, under my convictions of duty and
''Propriety, I made up my mind to 60.

THE New York Commercial AdVeTiiSsr thinks
that the unnaturalized editor of the New
York Times has the hydrophobis. 1t says:
"The editor Of the Times has been down to
Fire Island. He tells his readers 1t was so cool
down there on Monday that he had to button
up his coat collar around his neck. 1t would
be good thing for the readers Of the Times If
he could be induced to stay down there. We
don't know of any individual who stands more
in need of plenty of washwater and cool air
than the man of the Times. Drs. Hammond,
Cross and Hamilton should look into his case.
He seems to be in a very bad way. He no
sooner reaches the broiling pavements than he
begins to froth at the mouth, refuse cold
drinks, shows his teeth, snarls and snaps as if
he had an attack of the 'phobie.' We would
not be surprised-if the doctors could prevail
upon him to submit to an examination Of his
condition-if they were to be quite as much
puzzled about his case as with that of Mr..
Masor's dog, Prince Who knows but that
he might do as much for science as PnnceP
The meanest things in the world are made for
some good purpose" The Times editor is
afflicted with combination Of diseases. He
is very ignorant of American affairs and densely
stupid.

for Mr.. Kemper, will show that he ther
declared that his visit to the President wa.
merely accidental; that he was in Washing
ton and merely called as a matter Of cour
tesy. Mr.. Kemper's letter in June is in
direct conflict upon this point with his in
spired statement in December. Which are
We to believer If he told the truth in De
cember, what are we to think of his utter.
ances upon the last day of last month
printed in our columns yesterdayf
In that portion of the letter in which he
attempts to explain his action toward the
President and the Administration he has
placed himself in a truly pitiable position.
In his second letter to Col. Mosby he writes
'It were better to elect Grant the third
''and the seventh term than go under
Hughes and his negroes" and further on,
Surely Gen. Grant and all Northern gen.
''tlemen know that our white men, including
cover fifty thousand x-Confedsrate braves
''in Virginia, are the real moral, intellectual,
land political power of the State, if not Of
'the whole South, are implicitly to be re-
'1ied upon, and are invaluable as friends. "
What did Kemper mean when he wrote
that letterf The two conventions had been
held. Judge Hughes had been nominated
at Lynchburg and Gen. Kemper himself
had been nominated at Richmond. The
issue was fairly made up between the two
parties. What did the offer of fifty thou
sand braves mean except that Gen.
Grant might count upon him and
upon them for third term, if he would
only consent to throw his influence for
Kemper against Hughes. General Kemper
now denies that he entertained sentiments
of this character at that timei and he en-
deavors 70 wriggle out Of it in a couple of
newspaper columns. He has printed his
letters to Colonel Mosby. Where are
Mosby's letters to him? 1t is impossible to
understand correctly the one without the
other. In December, 1873, he writes to
Mosby: 81 bear in mind all that you say,
and am alive to it" What did Mosby say
to which Mr.. Kemper was so much ''alive?"
The whole thing as it now stands is, as we
said, unsatisfactory. 1t settles nothing,
and in the opinion of all impartial men
will place Kemper in a worse position than
before. By all means let US have the
Mosby letters

Congress had leagued with the courts

Buell. was made the hero of the hour.
From q reckless and shrewd news-hun-

the courts decided that they had no juris-
diction. But the men who had previously
charged that the courts were so fearful OF
the ire of Congress that they would ignore
all law and justice, did not have the man
hood to interpret this decision as contra
diction of their charges, and even now,
since the new indictment against Buell. has
been found, keep up their misrepresenta-
tions. One correspondent went so far as to
say that the Indictment was procured under
the gag law, " and was consequently sz post

THE Teported loss OF the steamship Fars

ocean cable, is corrected by dispatch from
Pictou, NO-a Scotia, to the New Yorl
Merchants Exchange, the dispatch saying
the report of the wreck was without foun

confident belief that something has gont
wrong with the steamer. Why such belle
should exist is a mystery. Nothing he:

The association which arrogated to itself the
title Of "ths Worhingmen's party of Illinois" is
at an ebb. At fits last meeting the question
arose whether the workingmen's party of L.
linois should send q delegate to the Working
mems Congress to be held at New York July
10. All were unanimous the workingmen's
party Of Illinois had no money, and It was
therefore decided to send letter instead Of a
delegate.
Says the Augusta (Me.) Journal: 'In no
State Of the Union does the Republican party
stand on q frmer foundation or present a
better record in its public men than in Maine;
but IL may as we'll be understood now as two
months later that the Democrats in the State
are not asleep, nor do they intend to allow the
election to 60 by default. They mean business,
and what they most desire is a quiet, secret,
'hide-and-go-seek' kind Of \ campaign"
The California GraDgers are doing things up
in the Golden State In q way to make other
State Oranges green with envy. They have
established warehouse in San Francisco, an
agency for purchasing implements and bags,
chartering ships and doing other business Of
the kind, fifty ships having already been char
tered by this agency, and now they have estab-
ished bank with q capital of five millions of
dollars to aid the farmers in "moving the
crops"
The Pittsburg Commercial says: North Car
olina leads of in the elections of this year. and
the political caldron in that State begins to
simmer quite hotly. The tar-heel Democracy
seem determined that their leaders who took
prominent part in the raids, whippings and
murders of the Ku-Kux organization, many of
whom were indicted in the United States
Court, shall be elevated to high judicial posi-
tion, because of their services to the party as
members Of that Infamous organization. Sew
eral of these precious gentry have, therefore,
been nominated by the Democrats as csndi-
dates for judges and solicitor. If the cam
paign is properly conducted the Republicans
ought to be able to sweep the Stats.
