to that etfcct, all Of Which the friends
of Govs7Kemper have oonstaatly de-
MED, and deolare that he is and has
always,rbecn, :hoatile to Grants ad-
Smitlistration.
Colonel Mosby was one of the most
active and energetic of Mr.. Kemper's
friends, and his exposition to Judge
Hughes, the candidate Of the Radical
party, he (Mosby) being cordial sup
porter of President Grant, ooncen-
trated :, the entire support Of his
tricnds, political followers, and a
large number Of the white Radical
vote in favor Of Kemper.
Colonel Moshy is now an Administra-
tion candidate for Congress in theSth
Congressional district of Virginia.
1t is charged. that General Komper
has recently written letter to
;Mosby's district oondomn ing the in.
dependent candidacy of Mosby, and
Expressing his disappfoval Of Mosby's
crratic political course. ....
Colonel Mosby's friends charge
that he has indisputablc evidence Of
the corporation Of Governor Kemper
in his scheme to bring the Virginia
conservatives over to the support of
Nirant's admintstration, and that
Kcmpcr had pledged himself for
Grant's administration, and for
Grant, not only for the third, but the
seventh term, and had promised that
fifty thousand Confederate braves
would follow him (Kemper) to
Grants support that Mosby in good
faitA, and with written evidence to
support it, looked upon Komper as
an effective eoadjutor in behalf Of

but I also believe that, he was wrong
and mistaken: I cannot doubt, from
the high authority from WhiSh the
foregoing Information in regard TO
the cpntroVersy reaches me, . that
Gov. Keibper, induced Col. Mosby to
believe that he would GO operate with
hi in his political schemp to bring
the Virginia Conservatives to the
support of Grant. I am authorized
by my informant to challenge dehial
of the above tbs ehatge, in sub
staprS, being that Gov! Kemper wal
thoroughly In acuutd with CUlons
Moshy's political policy, and that The
only difference betw6on them wa
that Col. Mostly openly declared hi
adherence to Grant.
