WASHINGTON, May %, 1868.
Nh Dear Sr-You are right In believing
that / "shall never abandon the great prlucl-
pies for the success of which have given my,
entire life | adhere to my ''old creed OF
equal rights, without one jet Or title of abate,
ment shall be glad if the new professors OF
that creed adhere to it as faithfully.
| am amazed by the torrent oflnVectiVes by
which | am drenched. Almost everything
alleged as fact is ialsehood out OF the "hoie
cloth. Where an allegation has little tact IN
it, the fact, is so perverted and traVestled that
it becomes falsehood. | know no motive TOR
all this except disappointment that lmpeach,,
ment has not thus far proved success, coupled
with belief that [ have done something to
prevent its being q success. L have not been
a partisan OF impeachment certainly; but L
have not been partisan on the other SIDE. AS
presiding officer over the trial my conscience
testifes that I have been strictly impartial,
and | am sure that any one who reads the re-
port will say so. Individually L have my con-
victions and opinions, but | have very seldom
AoS
think that the case, in any of it's aspects, has
been the subject of conversation between my
self aud more than four or five Senators, and
then only casually and briefly. No Senator
will say that have sought to influence him.
The real ground of denunciatlon is that |
have not been partisan of conviction; and
this denunciation am willing to bear They
may denounce and abuse me and read me out
of the party If they choose. l follow my old
lights, not the new.
What the developments of the future may
be, know not I neither expect nor desire to
be candidate for Office again 1t would, how
ever, crafty me exceedingly if the Democratic
party would take the ground which would as

LEEsBURG, Va, June 6.-The fine weather
of the past week has enabled our farmers to
finish the planting Of their corn, and to do a
great deal of narrowing and ploughing. The
wheat, as yet, is very promising, and the grass
has started into vigorous growth.
For the benefit of those who love such things
(and who does not?) will say that the fruit
crop is not injured.
While ''conviction did not come with the APP
pie blossoms" neither did a Ing frost, and,
accidents excepted, We will have an abundant
supply Of peaches and apples.
Strawberries come In slowly they sell from
Is up to 40 cents per quart Butter has come
down to % cents, but -four and corn meal map-
tain their high rates; the latter being 81 20
from the sbops-probably 81 from the mills.
Henry Hardy is rebuilding his mill, hall
mile from town, on the railroad 1t will be
great accommodation to US. Mr.. Phillips is
Rebuilding Oxley mill, formerly Gilmore's, 4
miles below town. OnIy one house is going
up this year, and that is building by &. Il.
Janney, who seems to be imbued with the
idea that it is better to put bis earnings into
real estate than to lend them out.
Mr. B. f. Head will build a house sometime
during the season as ne may ma unc HoIh
his Jobs as carpenter.
Mr.. r. NJ. Bentley is repairing the Eagle
Hotel" for a residence. He is out on clutches
occasionally, having broken an ankle somc
weeks ago.
The lime kiln Of Orr & Manning is turning
out good quality Of building llme, and ardent
wishes are expressed by their friends for its
success, as they and Mr.. Janney seem to be
always, and the only ones, disposed to take
hold.
