Gov. KemDer's Views.

The New York Herald OF Saturday contains
the following expression of Governor kemper
views upon the Louisiana troubles, written at
Madison c. H. (where Governor Kemper now
isl on the 18th instant, at the solicitation of the
Richmond correspondent of the Herald:
1T is the a%trocious system of misrule, forced
on the unwilling people of some OF the South
ern States, which has subjected virtue and To-
telligence to the rule OF vice and ignorance;
which has put the free-born and educated class
es under the dominion of their late slaves, led
on by miscreent adveDtureS-compared with
whom the negro is as Hyperion to a Satyr;
which has paralyzed the industry ofwhole CON-
munities aud given them up to be pillaged and
sacked by the most daring plunderers aud
thieves America ever produced; aud which con-
%stitutes a black and damnlng stain on the civil
iization of the Nineteenth Century. 1t has
wrought out its logical results in New Orleans.
The flesh will culver as the pineers tear. The
South can never recover, and the North can
neyer prosper, as long as the power of the
common government upholds those who har-
rass and plumber the section which produces
the chief exports OF the country.
The negro ought not to be blamed, for he
rarely commits wrongs, except such as partisan
syudicatcs a, the North predeternines to be
done, or adventures at the South i~nstigate him
to do.
The Kellogg government was inaugurated by
force aud fraud. Congress refused to interfere
10 the contest in Louisiana, and deliberately ig-
nored it. The Federal Legislature thus Sanction
ed the policy of "laisse= noustdire" The Federal
Executive will reverse that policy, postpone peace
aud reconstruction, and prolong the evils that
now depress the business interests of the whole
country, if the sword is again fourished over a
State, and the army and navy employed to up.
hold the Kellogg usurpatloD over the people of

THE ALLEGED FRAUD.-ID the Police Court
yesterday e.. Ii. Boyd, Jos. Wayne and Mrs.
Rvseberry Boyd gave bonds in $1,000 each to
answer all charges brought against them, rela-
i've to an alleged fraudulent transfer and mis-
appropriation of certain United States register
ed bonds, which belonged 20 Albert Conway, a
member of the Metropolitan police. The case
has attracted some attention., and the following
are believed to be the facts Some thirty
years ago Capt. Robert Conway married Miss
Mary A. NanSaot, the daughter OF James lan-
saot, a member OF the City Council, aud a
wealthy saddle aud harness merchant OF Alex
audria, with whom John 4. Ruff, OF Ruff s
bank, learned the trade.) After some tune,
Albert Conway, being meanwhile born, Con-
way and his wife we're divorced, and she mar
ried New Jersey capitalist, Mr.. Roscberry,
from whom she separated. aud at his death en-.
tered, for the third time, into matrimonial re-
lations with I'll. S. Boyd,a wclI-kuown Wash
lngton publisher, with whom she still resides
at GAINESVILLE, Nd. There came to herself
and son out Of the estate of the late james
Vansant some 81, 900, which DR.. Eansant, the
executor, invested in his own name as
trustee 10 registered 10 United States bonds,
the interest TO be paid TO Mrs. Boyd dur
ing life, the bonds to become the prop
cry of policeman Conway at her death.
The present case grows out OF an alleged sue
cesSful attempt to get possession of these boLds
by forgery. Mr.. Boyd having made display OF a
considerable amount OF bonds at the Rockville
fair, the suspicion of Mr.. Conway was aroused,
and the matter placed in the hands of detectives;
aud it is now said that during the absence of
DR.. Eansaot in California. bis personality was
assumed and his name forged by parties here
who thus obtained the transfer of the bonds and
misappropriated the funds derived FROM their
sale. Iii charged that Wayne forged DR.. Van.
sants's name; that c. G. Boyd personated him
10 getting the transfer, aud that c. II. Boyd
and Mrs Roscberry Boyd presented the bonds
for transfer. The case Will be further heard

Sustain the Sinking system.

The flashes of excitement produced by the
stimulants in ordinary use, are followed by a
reaction that is always more or less injurious.
Just as the darkness, Illuminated for a moment
by the Bghtning's glare, becomes apparently
blacker than ever after the flash is over, so the
mental gloom and physical debility that vanish
temporarily under the influence of a dram, re-
turn with ten-fold intensity when the first
transient effect ceases. Yet physicians habit
ually prescribe the liquors of commerce for pa
tients suffering from bodily weakness and men
tai dependency. The true remedy in such
cases is a pure stimulant medcated with the
finest tonics ard Alternatives which the vegetable
kingdom affords, and Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters is the only preparation at present known
which thoroughly meets the emergency The
effect of this popular restorative is continuous.
Each dose taken invigorates the vital energies
and the brain, and its prolonged use will un-
questionably cure any case Of debility, hypo-
chondria, or mental torpidity that does not arise
from organic causes beyond the reach of med-
cine. 1t is, in the strictest sense of the word
an invigorating and regulating cordial. If the
nerves tremulous and relaxed, it braces
them; if the bowels are constipated, it relieves
them; if the liver is torpid it promotes activity
in that organ if the mind is gloomy, it clears
away the clouds; if the appetite is poor and di-
gestion slow and painful operation, it creates q
relish for food and enables the stomach to con-
vert it into healthful aliment. Moreover, it is a
specific for large number of ailments, some of
which are particularly prevalent in the damp
and chilly weather which we so often experience
in mid winter. Among these may be mentioned
rheumatism, chlls and fever and all the morbid
conditions of the digestive anc secretive organs
superinduced by sudden changes of tempera-
ture and the inclemencies Of the season.

CRUSADERS AT LINcoLN.-Who would have
thought that the Womens Praying and Singing
Temperance Crusade would have made its first
appearance ON the Pacific Coast at so insignif-
cant place as Lincoln? No one would have
thought it, but it did. A lot of Lincoln la-ddes
it seems, got together and determined on q
thorough crusade. So at the proper time they
donned the needed apparel-we mean bonnets,
masks, shawls, dresses, etc.-and set out on
their important mission. There were Mrs.-al
but the s-Dr Flint, Cassidy, Hart Dameron
Chapman, Tenneyhill Bean, Turner and others
all good la-ddies. They first entered Strad-
lys sa loon, and commenced singing a famil-
lar but stirring airAuld Lang Syne, we be-
lieve. And in spite of all entreaties, continued
singing until Mr.. Stradley treated. Encouraged
by this success they proceeded to Mr.. Holly's.
Here, it seems their visit was not unexpected
An necessary preparations had been made for
their reception, and no sooner dld they enter
the saloon than slap, bang, splash went several
bucAetiuis oi water upon tAelr de.lcato iornls,
which nearly spoiled their fancy crinoline. But
