(The Demid. I. It. I'AICK. - - - Proprietor H. 91. LEAVER. - - Editor. t ii 111—r* nrmzizmm 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.” STATE ITEMS. Mieajah Dyer of Union County has invented a (lying machine. Gov. Bard has issued a prospectus for anew daily paper at Atlanta, Ga., to be called the Advance. Sirs. Whitaker, of Jefferson county, who recently killed her husband, was acquitted on the ground of insanity. The Board of Trustees of the Uni fersity c>f Georgia will elect a Chancel lor and several J’rofessors at their meet ing in July. Henry Daniels, a negro desperado, was shot to death in the Richmond county jail on Saturday, while resist ing the authorities. Mr. Howard 15. Van Epps has been invited to make tho address before the Literary Societies of the University of Georgia, anil will accept, GLEANINGS. The Democratic Central Committee of St. Louis, in behalf of the Democ racy of Missouri, have extended an in vitation to the National Democratic Convention of 187*3, to assemble in that city. The Committee pledge them selves to make ample preparatians for the reception arid accommodation of all who attend the convention. The place proposed for holding the convention will be the hall of the Dew Chamber of Commerce building, wliioh will be 2-55 feet long by 100 feet wide, and 70 feet high, with galleries all around*thc hall and a capacity fo: seating 17 000 peo ple. 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. The Ohio river from Pittsburgh to its mouth is 967 miles in leugth. as measured along the banks, aud contains 200 bars or sboal places that give trou ble in low water. The depth on these bars in dead low water, varies from twelve inches near Pittsburgh to twenty inches near Evansville and Cai ro. The width of the river at ordinary stages varies from 1,200 to 1,500 feet near its head, and from 3,500 to 5,000 near its mouth. ‘ Last year Dr. A.
