THURSDAY JULY L 1875.
The Era of Good Feeling.
Anew era is evidently dawning. The
hitter animosities engendered by a civil
war of four years duration, and kept
alive by tbe malevolence of Radical
- spleen, are gradually g'vingplaee to bet
ter feeling A few years ago, the dec
oration of the graves of Confederate
heroes, whose ashes hallow the cemete
ry at Arlington, was interdicted by tbe
strong arm of military power, edged on
by tbe most diabolical spirit that ever
stirred the human heart to foul deeds.
Those animosities seem to have been con
signed to the sepulchre of the dead past,
and a spirit more in keeping with the
advanced civilization of the age an
imates the bosoms of the people of tbe
North. This year, we find the Blue
and Gray blending in friendly offices of
kind remembrance around tbe honored
graves of their common countrymen
end offering floral tributes—mute but
expressive—to Confederate and Feder
al heroes, while distinguished officers of
either side ungrudgingly award due
meed of praise alike to comrade and foe.
But yesterday, and South Carolina —
(he very home of chivalry—crushed
beneath the iron heel of phrenzied hatc>
in the bitterness of her humiliation,
was derided and laughed to scorn by
puritanical Massachusetts What a
change! On the 17th of the present
month, tbe Washington Light Infan
try of Charleston, by special invitation,
participated in the celebration of the
Bunker Hill Centennial, and were feted
in Boston with almost regal splendor.
What a spectacle I Massachusetts and
South Carolina, the descendants of the
• old, phlegmatic Puritans and (he bold
impetuous Cavaliers fraternizing and
pledging anevj^their faith to the Con
stitution and the principles of’7(s at
the base of a monument erected to com
memorate tbe glorious achievements of
their ancestry a century ago. These
-;nd similar instances betoken a decided
change of sentiment in the Northern
mind, and are indicative of a returning
fraternal spirit which should awake a
hearty response in every Southern
heart. Every patriot has abundant
reason to rejoice at a change at once so
grand and so suggestive of a more glo
rious and lasting consummation, when
the tomahawk shall be buried —the
ejUunn t smoked and peace evoked from
Jong banishment, to bless the land.
lii'Gov, Johnson's Letter.
We publish below the patriotic letter
•of ex-Gov. [Terschel V. Johnson, ad*
•dressed to a Committee of the citizens
ot Atlanta, accepting an invitation to
•participate in the celebration of the an
niversary of A uteri -an Independence;
wi that city, on next Monday (July 5.)
The letter breathes a spirit of (rue de
motion to those great fundamental prin
ciples-irhich underlie the sovereignty
-of the Statt ? and the liberties of the
■people:
Atlanta, Ga., June2G, 1875.
Dear Sirs. —Yours of the 11th iast.
■inviting me, in behalf of the citizens c!
Atlanta, to co-operate with them on
"Fourth of July in celebrating the 90th
uoiversary of American independence,
-was duly received. 1 beg to tender my
sincere thanks far the courtesy thus ex
tended to me. I accept the invitation,
-and hope to beside te attend.
I have regvcHcd that the custom cf
observing this anniversary has fallen
into almost entire disuse. lam glad
to see indications —of which your pro
posed celebration is, perhaps, the most
striking nod noteworthy—of a disposi
tion in the public mind to return to it'
And why not? Tf the principles au
pounced in tho Declaration of Indepen
dence were ever worthy to be cherish
ed, they still are. They have not.
changed. They remain, and must ever
remain the only solid foundation of
popular liberty. They may be ignor
ed by party, maddened with dominions,
or forgotten in the stagnant inertia of a j
people paralyzed by tho despondency :
which that dominion imposes, bur they <
jire as vital now as when they were pro- 1
claimed on the 4th July, 1770, or as
when they were christened by the bap
tism of blood on the battle-fields of the
Revolution, or as when they were crys
taiized in 1787, into the form of Con
stitutional liberty. In the spirit that
animated our forefathers in 1776, let us
renew our devotion to them, and for
their maintenance pledge our lives, our
fortunes and sacred houor
If I aui not mistaken, the celebration
you propose, has an important and in
teresting significance. It is intended
as a manifestation of the desire of the
people of Georgia, that the bitterness
between the sections engendered by the
late civil war, shall cease. This is
right. Let the assurance go out from
the Capital of the State, that she is rea
dy and willing to extend practical greet
ing to the people of every section, who
agree to stand by the great principles
of public liberty and maintain the
Federal Uuion of States based upon
them, as they are defined in the Con*
stitutiou.
This is tbe only reconciliation bo
t ween the sections that can be of per
manent value. It means more than
simply making friends with each other,
or the cessation of overt exhibitions of
animosity. It means more than the ad
justment of party differences in politics
which look mainly to triumph in a Pre
sidential election and the consequent
control oftbe power and patronage of
government. Such a reconciliation is
superficial and falls far be! iw tho re
quirements of an exalted patriotism or
tbe comprehensive and far-reaching
policies of a wise statesmanship. The
harmony to which I allude is that
which will result* from a conscientious
return to a full recognition of tho prin
ciples of our common constitution and
the administration of our government
in nil its departments according to its
title and spirit. This, and this only,
can secure lasting fraternity and mutu-
al confidence between the States and
the various sections of our country. —
For it will reassert State equality, the
right of local State government nud
even-handed justice, in the distribution
of both the burdens an 1 blessings of
tho Federal administration. This is
the harmony for which I plead. It is
the true spirit and genius of our sys
tem of Confederate government. With
out it, we may have, not the union of
States, but the unity of empire,, consol
idated and upheld by military power—
the stagnant peace of despotism.
It may be that I cannot co-operate
personally with the citizens of Atlanta,
in their proposed celebration. If not,
then these hasty reflections must be my
representative.
Renewing my thanks for your Jcour
tesy, I am, gentlemen,
Your ob’tserv’t and fellow-citizen,
lIERSCIIEL V. JOHNSON.
State Sovereignty.
In bis speech at the Baltimore meet
ing held to protest against tho actions
of the President and of Gen. Sheridan
in tho Louisiana affair, Mr. Reverdy
Johnson used the follow language:
‘The State (Louisiana) is now sovereign,
except so fur as she has delegated a
portion ofher sovereignty to the Gen
eral Government.’ This one sentence
of the venerable lawyer contains, in a
nutshell, the whole doctrine of the
Democratic party, and ®how that the
principles of that party hate not
changed since the Wa t, —(_ Chicayo Tri
bune, Jan. 27.
From all that vCe have read and
heard upon the characteristic difference
between democracy and Conservatism,
we would define it as follows : The
Democrats hold that the States are sov
ereign except so far fas they have dele
gated a portion of theif sovereignty to
the General Government. —[ Southern
States.
You are entirely wrong. The Jefler
satiiau doctrine is this : Sovereignty
resides inalienably in the collective be
ing called tho State. Tho States are
respectively 'sovereign without any cx
erption whatsoever. They have not,
and cannot ( delegate ‘any pmtion of
tl -ir sovereignty,’ it being like life, an
indivisible, Incommunicable essence,
except by propagation and through the
succession of tho generations of man.
Certain ‘powers’ were delegated lo
the States United to fee exercised inn
specific manner. Therefore the Union
is not a nation. Its principle and form
is ‘federal,’ and not ‘national.’ It is a
thing of tho ‘compact,’ a general gov
ernment ‘between,’ not over, nations.—
Each State is a nation u sovereignty.
Tho idea of ‘divided sovereignty’ is as
absurd as the suu revolving around the
earth. It is as inconceivable as the ex
istence of a vacuum in nature.
Tlie States created the Union ; be
fore it was, they were. The ‘powers’
delegated are not the General Govern
ment,’ but from each State as an indi
vidual party to its co-Statcs as tho oth
er party. When the plan of the Feder
al Constitution was submitted and ra
tified by the States, each acting through
its own convention for itself alone,there
was no General Government of the
United States itt existence, and conse
quently no delegation of power could
pass to it.
The States are the only parties to the
Union. ,Tho government of that L uion
is not a party to tha compact. It is a
creature of the Union itself, and the
Uuionof the States; they alone are
sovereign. God creates worlds and
peoples them, but lie never divests him
self of Ilis omnipotence. Man takes
bis image and lives in ids attributes,
but God remains God for all of that.—
[Louisville Jeffersonian Democrat.
A Webster county man killed an al
ligator recently and invited his neigh
bors to partake of a barbecue. ’I he
saurian was the basis of the feast.
Dried likicUbciTicM.
Dried Blackberries are claiming con
siderable attention as an article of com
merce. Last year, North Carolina ex
ported throe million pounds, which
sold for §4(50,000. It is estimated that
a bushel of well ripe fruit will yield
thirteen pounds when dried. Upon
this subject, the Atlanta Herald speaks
as follows: “It is the utilization of a
hitherto useless crop. It is a crop that
ho does not plant, cultivate, or furnish
land for it to grow upon. It comes
spontaneously and he merely harvests
it. Drying blackberries at 5j cents
per ponnd is far more profitable than
raising cotton at 15 cents, and when it
is considered that tho women and chil
dren who are useless in the cotton-field
can attend to this humble crop, we
shall wonder if every farm houso in
this section does not send at least a few
dollars’ worth of dried berries to At
lunta, by tho middle of August. It is
by taking care of the odds and ends of
a farm that our farmers must acquire
their permanent wealth. We advise
every country housewife into whose
hands this paper may fall to go to work,
and have the blackberries on her place,
picked and dried, and prepared for the
market. We do not want to see Geor
gia waste any longer, a crop that paid
North Carolina a half million of dollars
l ist year, and nearly as much the year
before.”

The Nashville Union J' A:ncri-a!
says: “We see it. stated, that the busi
ness transacted by New York specula
tors in futures, since September first,
1874, aggregates 6.537,150 bales,
against 3,409,705 hales, as tho total re
ceipts at the port3 for the same time. —
This fact alone shows the character of
tho gambling done in tho great staple,
a feature more mischievous to commer
cial interests than any other that can he
named, since it gives a false idea of the
market, and compels a surging in prices
that cannot but he attended with loss
to all who have to buy the staple for
manufacturing purposes.”
The Knoxville Chronicle learns from
a gentUmau from Grainger county,that
a sister of cs-Governor Senter, to all
appearances, died a few days since, and
preparations for her funeral were made,
she being dressed ready for tho coffin.
See laid in this condition nearly twen
ty-four hours, and just before the hour
of burial had arrived the lady opened
her eyes, telling those around her that
she had been with her father (who is
dead,) and was going back to him soon,
but that she came back to talk to her
brother, Dewitt C. Senter The last he
heard ofhershewas still alive, and
still insists that she will not remain in
this world ranch longer. It is a strange
case.
