THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MAJOR
ScoTT AND Gov. KEMpER. THE Warrenton
Index is authorized by Maj. John Scott, whose
name has been repeatedly connected recently
with correspondence between himself aud
Gov Kemper, to say that he declines to au'
thorize the publication Of any part OF that cor
respondence, for reasons entirely personal 10
himself. He statos that the correspondence
was private, and that he does not mean, with
his consent, it shall be made public Major
Scott further states that Col. Mosby is not in
any degree responsible for anything that he
Mai S. has written to Gov. Kcmper; and
further, that the couteDts of the letters to aud
from Gov. Kemper, to which such frequent
illusions have been made in the newspapers,
have not been communicated by him to Col.
Mostly, or to anybody else. The letter from
Gov. Kemper as SOON as read by Maj. Scott
was committed 10 the flmes.
The Richmond Dispatch says: IA publiea'
ton having appeared charging Gov. kempel
with correspondence with COL Mosby, pledg
ing the Governors support to Gen. Grant fol
third term, the Governor will probably fee
called upon to make public what has taker
place between him and the Colonel on the sub
iect. At present the Governor is absent from
the city aud will not return until Saturday
next. We have 20 idea that Gov kempe
has pryjudiccd his position by his expression
| or nlodoas Rnt thn nublic will soon know al
about it.

INTERESTING LEGAL POINT DRCIDED.-The
contested election Gaze at Cornwall, Vt, has
brought up the interesting question whether a
witness in court is obliged to state for whom he
has voted at an election. One refused to do it,
on the ground that the state constitution pro-
vldes for the secrecy OF the ballot, while the
opposite party claimed that the provisions for
cOncealment are intended to apply only to the
moment when the ballot is cast, and il man is
asked in court whom he has voted for, he must
answer. The witness was committed for con-
tempt, and on being taken taken out Of Jail on
writ or habeaus corpus, Chief Justice Pier
pont decided that he must answer, which he
did.
