“A Dead Failure. n
When we **aw tliltc startling caption in laat
w«ek ? s ishue. of thp Enterprise. we naiuraUv
enough felv »ou»o apprehension that the Editor
had discovered tt fl-wv, incur article on the hw of
advertising, fatal to the argument; but on ex
amining the tailto tie-Conn f, welouud the wb<»lo

W« cannot dignify such diHtngeimousn ess with
the name of argument, nr such flimsy scribbling
of nonsense with the epithet of *vm«tn»MH/ ? Our
article wu- either not read by the Editor, not
understood, nr wilfully ji**rv« rted and miarepre
sentod.
The various clause* Tram the code, were quot
ed for the very jmrpom.* of giving nil Ihe law on
the subject, coubiined in the code, end to show
that the Orflinara is nowhere directed, in terms<
to advertise in unv partieuW paper. The argu
ment constructed upon thin foundation, remains
untouched by the Editor, and his failure to grap
ple and overthrow it, if it wt*i*c possible, is by
no means honorable to himself, or just to those
whose interests may be Mwimndy affecled
by illegal advertising. He writes. »* if his whole

code declares ttpeeifu'dly, where the Sheriff*

Ordinaries to “a fiver tint' in the Gi/.oit** indfc'bieh

they are left to their ow n discretion, and are
permitted to hire out their advertising to the
highest dr lowest bidder ? II thin be so, th»*n ;
♦ hey may advertise in any paper In the State
however remote, or even in a paper beyond the
limits of the Stale. The, law permits no such ab
surdities, and the Editor of the Enterprise knows
it. The rule in the ninth Hpetisn renH*.’i<?n the
evil, and points flTrcetty to the Art of l 8. r ;onb tho
law of the eare.
The Editor has discovered that we did not
quote the whole of H*de 9th, and, chuckling with
an air of triumph, proceeds to illustrate the utter
incapacity of his brain so comprehend the moan
ing of comings, semi colons, colon* and periods,
Wr can scarcely believe ldm serious in id*
st run ion of the rub* in question. It is so ridicu
«• tuiumnl to iu.'uill to il-.e intel-
Hgence of county oificera, whom Hi* inTendodto
deceive.
Yb** Wf paragraph of the rule lias nothing to
•do w ith the first-. A question might arise, (as. in
this case) in which there nr** no “grauuuutieal cr
rora,'* atid whieh couhl only he interpreted by
resorting to the rule in the first paragraph: “In
nil interpretation.-, the Courts shall look dili
gently for the intention «*| tin* General Af muddy,

Ihe evil, and the remedy. This is a full sentence, j
and the courts must resen t to it, though then* be
no “grammatical emus." The last paragraph of
th*- rule simply {luihoih'-s the “transposition of
words and clauses,’ 5 in order to interpret the
meaning of sentences or clause* rendered ambig
uous by “grammatical errors. >J
We found no “grammatical errors" in the sec
tion of the code relating to advertising, and there
fore had no use for (hut portion of the ninth rule.
Our business was to nKcertain what the code
meant, in directing OrdiuurleP to “advertise iQ the
Gazette in which the Couutv advertisement* mo
published; !1 and to do this, wo referred to com
mon genre, the object of advertising, the luw
compelling SheriliyHi advertise in n particular
paper, “the intotflion of the General Assembly,"
“the old law .no evil and the remedy.”
The EA**dr is mistaken, it he supposes that
w hat joined to him •‘personalities." wort* intend
ed ns personal offenses *. The controversy is not
one of that character, and we purposed no such
condescension.
Our “spread eagle boast a of the great popu
larity and success of tie* Bonner,'' as ho is
pleased to term our expose of his own beggarly
Mibscription lists and the disreputable means
employed to secure comity advertising, were
unvarnished truth utterances, and were necessa
ry to i epel she covert insinuation that we were
endeavoring to enforce tho Jaw upon county offi
cers. because the Burner was pining for patron
age.
The Editor closes hi-article w ith tho follow
ing seiitfmce : “lbit wv think we are entitled to
the thanks of county officers generally, for
bringing about so g.-ed <t ty%ha tton iii the ndver
twing rates of the tpnhna > h > «r, a journal

Whoever heard of such impudence? “Enti
tled lo thanks," eh ‘ We have already stated, and
now repeat, that when the Banner was started,
th** rales of the Enterprise were aihqpttii by its
publisher, who. not having previously published
a paper in Georgia. *knew uothing of Georgia

Ik-fore the 'establishment of the Banrer, the
Ajsfef|>r<se enjoyed a monopoly in tin* win-grass
country, and it seems from the Editor’s own
showing, that he had.it m his heart to make the
county officers sweat under the weary weight ot

brief history of the bloody viot in New Orleans on
the 301 h.
The following extract from Ihe correspondence:
ofthe New" York 'J'itues, dated at New Orleans,!
July J Itli. fufni.-lu’s the most intelligible accounts |
of the origin of the trouble that we have yet!
The i ’om - utbm muddle is tin* most interesting, |
beeaufto it is most complicated, bt nil tin* ques- I
tion* that are now ’attracting attention here. It
w ill be remembered that Gen. Hanks called on
; the people to elect delegate* h> a Constitutional
Convention in M’til. which met and was organ-:
' i/.ed in pursuance of the policy laid out by the
lamented l.iueoln, and afterwards adopted by
lYoftideut Johnson. That body embraced all of
the consistent loyally of tin* State, and was jm
. doubtedly above tin* average in ability and:
intelligence. Its action was worked with kiml
! m*.-.* t*nv«id tho.se who were- then in armed
! rebellion against the Government, and it did not
foolishly disfranchise them as was done in Virgin
iu and Tennessee. As l understand it, there \uw
’ not even the lightest efl'ort to that end . Instead
of re.-uiatiugsulferagedhev empowered nnv future

; It adopted a Uon.-tituiion which has been recog-,
nized by Lincoln. Johnson and Seward, and in
directly by all of the different bruliehes of the
General Government. It did not adjourn sine
dir. hut authorized its President to reconvene it
in ease an emergency requiring it should arise.
‘ The lament abb* difference between Congress and
tin* President, together with tin* unsettled con
dition of affairs, and the fact that some of tin* e\
Confederate.- misused some of the privileges be
stowed on them by the leniency of the Conven
! tion. was the cause of the recent call for its
second meeting.
The history of this call is the strangest part of
the whole business. Judge Ihuell.thc President,
at first favored the project: and conferred w ith
the Governor in the premise*. That ollieer. how
ever. w ith his usual fickleness, succeeded in di
eouraging Judge IJurell, and postponed tin* mat
ter until a heavy ouUtidc pressure was brought
to bear on him. and he has since itiuudonetl the
idea. Added to tin* Governor's oscillation was a
remarkable luek"of consistency on the part of
some of the Uadh ul members ot Congress. Judge
Unroll telegraphed to -onie oi» the most promi-
I’ueutof theta, ivskittg them whether tln*y would
! sustain tin* Convention, but received no reply.
An informal caucus was then held iu this city, at
'which between forty and fifty members ofthe
[body of lcM were present. Under the insti
gation of King Culler, and other ox’rcme Uadieal*.
they passed i resolution **otu'erning Uurvll, for
r«*fu-al t*» reeonyoke them, tmd eieete 1 Judge
lb-well Pre-id-nt , a ten*., flrdering him to issue
;t call, whh h he <lid, at’ l immedijfttely thereafter
lefi for Washington, for the purpose of conferring
with Hanks, S;i*v»*ns and Stunner, or others of the
Uadieal stripe. That body having such supreme
power as a Constitutional Convention has the
authority to reconvene, is uppercut : lint it
unfortunate forit* friends that tin-call is informal.

would, however, nrobablv be extensive enough:
to secure their orqcet. With tliU aim iu view,*
they knew very well that they would not receive j
the co-operation of the iYesident. and have con
sequently sent Judge Howell to Washington to
Beeuro their recoguition by Congress. Some of
them fear military interference, add l have heard
it publicly nt sited that the Governor would rail
on the President for assistance in dispersing tin*
Convention when it meets. Again. 1 have beard
it loudly proclaimed that the Governor favored i
th*- whole plan. From thi« brief statement ot;
facts, it will be readily imagined that some ex
citement exintrt there. The white population of
the State i* organized as militia tyre*.', and jin*
Governor lists promised to authorized a similar

In the opinion of a great many men who are
neither hasty nor simple, it is rapidly drilling.
Then* is * now very little, question that the!

carry out his theories by force of unless so
thoroughly defeated in the elections ttys fall as to
destroy' all hi.* hopes of dividing the North.
Alt of our readers are familiar with the threats
w hich havo been made bv the President s new
allies.of his recognizing the .Southern member*.
„,)*l those who might join them, as the cenuim*
Congress. This is not likely to be done at pre
senb simply because a quorum could not be got
together in this way. When the Southern seats
are tilled there wiU’be 70 Senators and 212 Rep
resell tutives. Hut there are not inoi# than 31
persons now claiming to be Senators, nor more
I*;; claiming to be Representatives, who could
' possibly be induced to take part in any such dis
; organizing and revolutionary proceedings. The
! scheme, therefore, cannot at present bo carried
! out with the slightest pretence of legality,
I . Rut the next Congress will present an entirely
different question. There is very little doubt
' that the Republican party will lose one Kept -
sentativc* in Connecticut, three in New York, o:i»*
in Pennsylvania, three in Ohio, three in Indiana,
two in Illinois, one in Michigan, one in Wi.-eon
mu, two in Missouri, and one in Kentucky, while
the four Johnson-l’nion members Train Mary land,
Kentucky and Missouri w ill bo succeeded by
other Johnson men. if not re-elected. Four ot
the members elect from Tennessee to the present
Congress are too loyal to support Mr. Johnson.
Not more than two of these will be re-elected.
No members have been yet elected in lexas.
l our secessionists w ill appear from that recon
structed next winter. Tbps, at the opening
of the Fortieth Congress, one hundred and seven
• leen persons claiming seats in the House will
certainly be prepared to support Mr. Johnson's
policy. ’ If he can only carry live more, he will
have a clear majority of those whom he will con
sider lawfully elected to the lower branch of
Congress. Now it is very probable that, in •ad
dition to those losses which we have before men
tioned, the Republicans will lose one member in
; Connecticut (Mr. Hubbard), two in New > ork
(Messrs. Humphrey and Ketehum), two in Penn
sylvania (Messrs. Thayer ami Miller), two in Ohio
(Messrs. Uubbell and AMily. or <'lark>. one in
Indiana (Mr. Hill). «me in Illinois (Mr. Harding',
and one iu Wisconsin (Mr. Sawyer)- ten in all:
while it is not certain but that five or six other
seats wav be lost. Taking, however, these esti
mates a**' a ba>is of calculation, it will be seen
that the probable loss of twenty eight members,
though it would leave a Republican majority ot
about forty in the House of Representatives as ;
at present constituted (oue hundred and thirteen
' Republicans to seventy-one Johnsonians) would
• yet give the Johnson party one hundred and
twenty-seven members out of two found ted ami
forty-two, iu case the Southern delegation were
admitted.
if the present programme is carried mti. the
Southern representatives will insist upon their
! right to vote for Speaker at the commencement
'of tin* next Congress. The Clerk will not
call their names: and the plan meditated is tor
the TO or 7o Johnson mpiqbeYs who are clearly
entitled to seats, to untie with the .>» excluded
