vailed, and the afternoon devoted to the ar
raignment OF Dr.. De Hoover for extreme ritual
ism, bordering on ROmanism. The opposi-
ton offered numerous documents, private let
ters and private conversations, in support of /
their charges, going so far as that he disclaim-
ed all tendency to Romanism, but adhered to
his position as a strict ritualist. He cited a
number of shining lights in the church who
believed as he did. He characterized the cru
Sade against himself as a trumped-up affair,
the obi ject OF which was too plain to need
further explanation. The convention then
adjourned until half-paSt seven O'Clock, when

dress, very damaging TO DR.. De Koover, and to
which the doctor desired to reply but was cut \

Governor Kemper, OF Virginia, In wash
tngtOn.
WASHINGTON, February 13.-Gov-
ernor Kemper, of Virginia, being in Washing
t7reo ms a a nF U1trNN
President Grant, to-day. 1t was some time
ago stated that Colonel Mosby had pre-ar-
ranged an interview between this gentleman
and the President, but the governor says
there is truth in the report, and that he
merely called TO pay. his respects to
citizen of the United states, with no political
OBJECT in view. The governor tonight in
conversation with friends, spoke of the pleas
ure the visit afforded him, the President re-
cefving him in a spirit of marked friendlineSs
and courtesy, and in the course of converse
tion expressed his views deliberately, as If
weighing his words, which left favorable
impression on the governors mind. As the
sation cannot be explicitly stated, but it can
only be inferred by the governors own free
utteranceS tonight that he and his polit-
ical friends in Virginia stand upon a
broad, conservative platform, which he
says gives ~ the States co-eqqal rights as
members Of the Union; that they may dis
charge ell their duties and restore perfect
peace and reconciliation to all parts of the
country. They will support everybody that
supports that platform which the govern
meDt framed, and which was indorsed by the
people of Virginia, and they viii oppose, he .
further says, every body who opposes the con-
servative and harmonizing principles therein /
expressed.
