They did hear, and looking on and see ing what the contestants were, and what the struggle was about, determined that they would settle this question on the side of tha Constitution and of principle. I proclaim here, to day, as I have no previous occasions, that my faith is in great mass of the people. In the dark. est hour of thio struggle, when the clouds seemed to be most lowering, my faith, instead of giving away, loomed up through the cloud, beyond which I saw that all would be well in the end. My countrymen, we all know that tyranny and despotism, in the language of Thomas Jefferson, can be exercised and exerted more effectually by the many than the one. We have seen a .0ongress gradually encroach step by step, and violate day after day and month sfter month, cons.itutional rights and the fundamental principles oF the Gonernment. We have aeon a Con gress that seemed to forget. that there was a limit t'o the sphere and scope of legislation. We have seen a Congress in a mmnotify atssume to exercise power which, it allowed to be carried, would result in despotism or monsarehy itself. This is truth, and bdcause others as well as-myself have seen proper to appeal to the patriotisni and republican feeling of the fo'untry, we have been denouned mn the severest serms, 8ltader upon alan der,. vituperation upon vituperation, of tJia thpst vIllais,ons character has made t.way thropgh the press.

I trust and hope that my future action may be such that you, and the convention you represent, may not regret the assinrce of confi dence you have expressed. Before separating, my friends, and all, accept my sincere thanks for the kind manifestations, of regard and re spect you have exhibited on this occa. sion. I repeat that I shall. always be guided by a con..cientious -onviction of duty, and that always gains one cour age under the Constituion which I have tnade my guide. At the conclusion of the President's remarks three eiithisiastic cheers were giv'en for Andrew Johnson. and three more for General Grant. Tli - President then took a seat near the door opening into the Hall, with General Grant by his side, where, as the gentlemen of the Committee and members of tihe Conven tion passed or.t, lie grasped each by the hand, and had a smile or a cheering word for all; after which they passed on to take General Grant by the hand. A POSUR OF A LAw CASp..-The fontgomery AdIvertiser says the follow. ing is n literal extract of a letter receiv ed by a lawyer in that city, describing a point of law in a csee iii which the writer wis interested 1 "There has been a case of m4nda. nius em-pas christus here, in which I am interested, and the judge from the other County wants to supenus a millimus on the affidavit. The other parties claim the.. where the cses are topit from one vmt.) 1,u ri-n agi : on the line, and where the parties are not of age, that the father of the boys living im the next nearest town having other connections, who may also swear that he is father of other boys, and that the mother is also living and one and the Mame persons, and there the con. junction is von cOnplps ienti. I told them I would let then know i two weeks. I am quite sure I am right, but by one word you can satisfy nie. Say yes,'and I'll understand it." An exchango thinks the iogislatire of Alabama will h:ave to make a liw to tit that case, which Ie calls one of "internal sligeestions and bias of juris prudence." Just so. Tu NERDI.C-oUN CiECK 3.1TED.-dolin Mitchell writes from 'aris to the New York Neirs : "@The needle-u lies met its match in a bullet-proof clothing for soldiers. At the Belgian Tir Naiontd, or Volanteer Shooting Ground, the thing was exhibited for the first time by its Inventor, a M. Bernard, and in the most satisfactory manner, namely : By standing tire iimi;self 10 yards, having pro vioUly shewn that lie wore nothing under his cloak but a shirt and vest., A coniial bullet struek him in the breast.; it flattened Itself and fell down at his foot; lie pIcked- il Up and showed it to the spectators. Bit lie would autfer nobody to examine the texhure of his new cloth, not having yet secured his patent. Ilis head and lace were covered withl a steel cap ; and the cloak reached to the ground. Such Is the story that comes to us In. Belgian newspapers." Five young men recently discoverod a stone pyramid in a barren plaith on the Colorads, 104 fet high, with a lev el top of 50 feet square. It was buiit at a very acute or steep angle, and the blocks of ston cut smooth on the sur face of that angle. It had evidently once been perfect, as there was a heak~ of stones at the foot, once fortnnng she apex, probanbly shiakon. down by an. earthquake. The Raleigh &entined says: '-Mr R.

Secretary MeCllech, being on a recent visit to his native New England, was invit ed to dinl with the solid men of Boston. The lettef' failed t6 reach him till after his return t Washington;- boit on the 18th in stant he responded', sh')*ing why lie 0oald not accept, and speaking of the natiofial' finances as follows : "Although it was hoped that crc this the cutrency of the country would have been brought nearer to the specie stahdard, I am sure'the people have cause for congratu-' lation that.dur finatices aro in so healthy a condition as they are. "Since March, 1865, the *ar has been brought to a' iticcesstul conclusion; im inense arnics have been disbanded; every soldier has been paid before being mustered out of the service; all maturing obligations of the Government have been satisfactorily provided'for,- while the iational debt is nearly $260,000,000'less' than estimated it would be at the present' time, and the re-' duction of it has averaged, for the past year, more than $10,000,000 per month. If no other nation evet- relled bp a' debtso rapidly, none certainly ever cGinnienodd the reduction of its debts so soon after its cre ation. If our currency is' depreciated, we have so far escaped tho fnancial troubles that usually occur among nations at the close of expensive wars, and which there was reason to apprehend would'happen to us at the termiration of the grfat war in which we have been engaged. If the bdsi. ness of the country is conducted, din a changing and uncertain basis, it has been' subjected to no severe revulsions. If our taxes are heavy, our resources are almost unlimited, while the disposition of tif #so ple to bear cheerfully their burdens is a surprise even to those who have the great est confidence in the honor of good faith of a free people. In my opinion, the people of the United States are to make republi canisni illustrious among tbe nations by es. tablishing the fact that the securities of a republican Government. are the safest of all securities, and that the people who impose taxes upon themselves are the most jealous of their na0onal credit.. I do not, however, disguise the fact that great 'Inancial difficulties are still to be overcome; that our pfesent prosperity is rather apparent than real; tfat we are meia are, In fact, exposed te all the dangers which attend an inflated and irredeemable c,irrency, which diminishes labor-thu true source of national *ealth--and stimulates speculations and extravagance, whieh Ied invariably to thriftlessness r.d demorali zation Before the country becomes again reily prosperous. the specie standard must be restored, prices reduced, industry stimu lated, the protlucts of the country increas ed, the balanceo of;trade between the United States and other nations cease to be against us-all the great interests pf the country cared for and protected by wise and impar tial legislation, and all sections of the coun. try ro be brought again into harmonious and practical relations wfth the General Government. That the country will be again thus real ly prosperous is as certain as anything in Ihe future, That it should be so at at, ear ly day, and that, too, without a financial cri sis, it is only necessary that there shoutd he proper legislation by Cengress, economy in the public expenditures, and fidlelity on the part of those- who are entrusted- wita the nmanagemens of the-public revenue. Trnsting that you will pardon me for writing so long a letter in acknowledging tihe receipt of y'eur very courteous invita tion, I remain, very truly, your obedient servant1 Hluot McCUlLOCI.

DAvIS. dria, who visi at Fortress Monroe, a fe ~ e, gives in the Gazette the fo ccount of their interview: "Mr. Davis was all that we could conceive of-cordial and courteous-his utrbanity an.l amiability were character istic.
