We know Of no more suitable place for
holding the Congressional Convention in
this district than the town Of Burnett. This
point IS near the centre Of the district.
Here the delegates can breathe the pure un-
alloyed Democratic atmosphere for awhile.
BY holding the Convention in Burnet the
nominee val remember when he takes his
seat IN Congress, that he started from the
frontier, and II may be the means of re-
mindlng him Of the most important duty
Tor which he Is sent 10 Congress, to-wit:
Frontier Protection. And we would state
right here 10 our contemporaries of the press,
that the Democratic candidate of this. dis
trict cannot be elected without the aid Of
the upper or frontier counties Therefore,
appoint the meeting of the Convention in
the heart OF Democracy on the tops of the
mountains IN Burnet, and it will have ten
dency to quell the spirit Of indifference that
exists IN the minds of our Legislators and
members OF Congress in regard to the from
tier interest. We viii support no man that,
even by his acts, words or gestures, ignores
frontier protection. We wish it generally
understood that there are other places Of
equal importance with Red River bottom
and Galveston, so far as the question of
sending members to Congress is concerned.

the high trust Teposed in him. When then
it is announced that.he is soliciting poliii-
cal alliance with Grant through Mosby who
is known to be warm friend Of his ana
for such ignOble purpose. feeling Of scorn
and indignation IS created in the breast Of
every honest heart. It is 50 base, 50 lost
to every sense Of duty and principle as to
cause US to lock with lOathing upon the
man who could so far forget the constit-
uents who had elevated him to place. We
trust that Governor Kemper viii be able to
clear his skirts from such foul charges; and
hurl back upon his accusers the Just con-
demnation of every lover of truth and
justice. In order that our readers may
fully understand the case, we append the
article from the Seatinel, which is based
upon the letter of Mr.. Wedderburn, pub
lished in the Chronicle, which is as follows: :
GOVERNOR KEAIPER ARRA1GNED.
George G. Wedderburn publishes q letter
in this mornings Washington Chronicle, In
which he states the report that Governor
Kemper did certainly induce Col MOsby to
believe he agreed with him in his policy,
and challenges its denial by Kemper's
friends.
Mr.. Wedderbun has anticipated this
paper in the statement, which we had re-
solved to make ourselves, since the Rich
mond Wig and Petersburg Nelcs have rather
insinuated, In reply to the SeRtiRe2s demand
for all the Kemper letters, was an unmerited
fling at the Governor, with no facts TO sus-
tain it. Such it was not, but made upon
Information of the most UNREASONABLE re-
liability, and the furnisher of which we
were waiting to hear from before publishing
reply to those papers.
Nr. Wedderburn's letter contains in one
paragraph an epitome of the case which
Colonel Mosby will be able to prove, viz. (:
The cooperation of Governor Kemper in
his scheme to bring the Virginia Conserva-
tiyes over to the support of Grants admin
istTation, aud that Kemper signifed his viii
lingness to go for Grant, not only for the
third bit the SereJlth term, and had promised
chat fifty thousand Confederate braces would
follow him to Grants support; that Mosby,
in good faith, and with torittcn evidence to
support 1t, looks upon Kemper as an effec-
tive coadjutor in behalf of Grants admin
istration; that Governor Kemper, in Janu-
airy last. got Colonel Mosby to visit Wash
ington to ask Grant to invite him Remper)
to pay him Grant visit for the purpose
of effecting political alliance; and further,
that Governor Kemper sent a prominent
citizen of Fauquier county to Grant last
December, on the special embassy to let
Grant know that he was about to wheel into
line, and inform him as to the contents of
his message.
Again, we dare Governor Kemper's
friends to publish his letter to Major Scott.

GOV. KEMPER, COL. MOSBY AND
PREsIDENT GRANT.


The Richmond Enquirer calls upon Gov.
Kemper to state how far the report is true
that he, through Col. Mosby, had sought
an alliance with Grant, and would support
hin. for not only the third but the ssOes'th
term9
That paper says ''there had long been
mutterings Of this threatened storm in our
political horizon, and no one should have
been caught unprepared." And further
that ''the Conservatives Of Virginia who
elected Governor Kemper, thought it
due to them that he should in some clear
and emphatic manner vindicate himself and
them from the suspicion that had been cast
upon his political integrity by these FumOrs,
and we have shared the surprise that his IN
accountable silence has caused
These charges are certainly very grave,
and in no small degree compromise the
political integrity Of Governor Kemper.
Il would be very great political heresy
for any man at the South to advocate Grant
for another term, in view Of the history Of
that individual. But for q man Of Cover
nor Kemper's known ability and prominence
to do 50 would show such political cOrrup-
ton as would be most damaging to the fair
name and honor Of the Southern people. It
viii be remembered that Governor Kemper
commenced his administration under the
most ALTERING circumstances. scch e. were
calculated 70 give renewed confidence in
the sounincss and incorrupiblsness Of
Southern politicians. he refused fine
csrriage and horses which were presentsdt to
him after his election. This was IN such
marked contrast to the character and
antecedents Of Grant as to causs the

THE GOVERNORS PROCLAMATION
SET AT DEFIANCE.

BRYAN, June 90, 1s74.-Last night at
about 10 o'clock large crowd of men took
Harry Cook, the assassin of James p.
Farmer, out of the Jail and shot and hung
him inside of the prison yard. j. A. Mel
son, his accomplish, it is said, was told to
leave the State at once. s.l3.
The Jail was guarded by forty-three men,
but they were powerless to prevent the
hanging of Cook against the large number
of about 200.
The above special TO the Galveston Ncsos
shows that the Governors proclamation has
been set at defiance. The issue has been
made. It now remains to be seen what
course the Governor will take to bring these
offenders to the bar of justice. viii he
move forward on the line of duty, or will he
say 81 am unable to do moreln The stu
ton is critical. Either law or violence will
be the master. There Is no compromise.
Which shall it beG
