MAJOR KEMP'S SEDITION.
[Br Tklegkaph.] .WANGANUI, February 20. Native matters at Murimotu are unsettled. Major Eemp openly boasts that he has done with the Government, and threatens to burn Mr Moorehouse's homestead and turn off the sheep. He prevents wool being packed to Napier. Kemp's influence between Wanganui and Taupo is now paramount, solely on account of his hostility to the whites. All the settlements on the lower river are deserted by the males, who have gone either to Parihaka or Murimotu. Eemp has sent his gun to Tawhiao as a present. His attitude is most bounceable, and he is rousing up a feeling of hostility against the whites. The dispute re boundary is now said, on good authority, to be a blind. Public feeling is very strong here, that Kemp's pay as Government officer should at once cease, and that he should be called upon to answer for his seditious conduct. Old residents on the river say they do not like to notice the wide breach now between the Native and pakehas.
