All history proves this. To-day! dongs tc the great struggle for oquaiir before the law. The South hates lis and means to defeat it. The North j hidden this grand rule in its heart 'hearts. This provoked and justified 1 ie war. The battle over it is not end-! I. For this struggle the nation is ripe, I pened by forty years of discussion and j ve of war. Much as 1 value your great naiicial measure, I must in this next) residential canvass measure my eandi-i lie by anotherstand?loyalty to imparitl liberty.

' k-.V. : The Fourth of July and Ex Gov." Rershell V. Johnson: 0:ir CrecM'gia exchanges puhli.iha well wriltcn'letter of (jov. Johnson in reply in :in invitation lo co-operate in a Fourth of J lily celebration at Atlanta, in which, whifcft accepting the invitation, too urges a number of cogent rea sulls lor [lie gene mi onservuiivjcui u urx; , whfeh of Ink has been almost entirely disreyardt d. lie .justly holds that iI* the principles of the Declaration of lupeiidencc were evej' worthy to be cherished, they still are, and that at this time esjieeially we should seek by such celebrations astiio proposed'one, t?J give io our .Northern brethren the assurance that we are still true to the principles of constitutional liberly, and that we arc willing to renew otir devoiiion to the principles of ITTii, and to pledge on lives, fortunes and saered honor to their maintenance. In speakingofthis ITiiiou on tiie basis of Constitutional liberty, lJoy. Johnson well says: This ifl'thec.nly reconciliation between the sections that can. be of permanent value. It means more than simply making friends of each other, or the cessation of overt exhibitions of animosity. If means nioie than the adjustment of party differences in politics, which look m.iitily tr> f rintnnh in anresidentialclec tion and the consequent control of the power and patronage of government, such a.^conciliation is superficial and falls far below the requirements of an exalted patriotism or the comprehensive and farreaching polieiCStof a wise statesmanship.^ The harmony to which we allude is thnt which will result from a conscientious return to a full recognition of the principles of our common constitution and the administrations of our aro\ eminent in all its departments according to its title and spirit. This, and thisohly, can secure lasting fraternity ind mutual contidenco between the Stales and lHo various secuons 01 tmr country. For it will reassert State equality Die: right of local State government ami evenhanded justice, in the distribution of both the burdens and blessings of the Federal administration. This is the hahnony for which I- plead. It is the true spirit and genius of our system of confederate government. Without it. we may have, not the union of Sfdfi's, but the unify of empire, consolidated and upheld by military power ?I lie stagnant peace of disposition. It may be that I cannot co-operate personally with- the eiti/Diis of Atlanta, in their proposed eelcbratioir. If not then these hasty rellections must be my ivp retentive. The letter is in keeping with the spirit which has been manifested at all the recent celebrations, and which has found utterance in the declarations of distinguished speakers of all sections. It is time that the North and the South should forget the alienation of tlie past, and :?.i! the bitter memories of fratricidal -Irife, and recurtotho.se glorious days, when they made common cause against a common enemy, aud achieved through peril and privation liberty and independence. The recent centennials have come most opportunely to keep alive these recollections, and to cement anew ihe union of ail sections, and we trust that the Grand Olebratinn next year at Philadelphia will go far to complete the work and unite indissolubly the people of all sections. -<5- C -O End of the Beetlter Casd. The almost interminable lieech'cr case has at hist conic to an end by the disagreement, anil discbarge of the jury. They stood three for conviction and nine for atfjuittal, and hr.ve left the matter where it properly belongs,to be decided at the bar of public opinion. The whole proceeding has a good deal of the farcical in it, and looks very much like a burlesque upon the administration of justice. Here for four long months a learned judge, eminent counsel, pober-minded jurors, and witnesses and spectators, have been listening to the unseemly quarrels and unbecoming revelations of two disputatious litigants, who choose to ventilate their personal grievances in a court of justice, and who have at last succeeded in blackening their owff characters and disgusting tlie public. For weeks anil months the disgraceful details have been spread broad cast over the country to the manifest detriment of iniblio morals, and with no* better result to tl^parties themselves, than thedoubtin the public mind, whether ol' the two Beeclicr or Til ton1 be the guiltier party or the greater fool. It has been a costly proceeding to prove so little?"a big cry and little wool." "NVeare glad that the case is ended, and think tlnit it mattered very little to the interests of the Christian church, what the iriiirlif- 1 ?ij_ Thfi f!h risf.in n Church is too grei'.t to he compromised by the act of any unworthy disciple.

The testimony occupies nine closely printed columns, and engaged the timeof the Court fortiffontire day.
