T 1 tr. IttPEXOirtC WAR
It is with the deepest regret we
announce that the hopes of r-ettling by
a conference the dispute? which uqy
neitate Europe must be .abandoned. —
The Trench government has telegraph
ed to our own that, in consequence of
the ’ -tsistence of Austria in imposing
c aaitioßS which w auld lnake the
diicussion nugatory, the conference
will not be held. It would* indeed
be a mockery to call together the
representatives; of the great powers
on terms which would necessarily
involve their immediate seperatiem
We fear, then, that matters stand as
they stood three weeks since, and
that it now rests with the armed powers
to compo:*e their disputes by negotia
tion between themselves, or to rcs.rt
to the final arbitrament of war. We
mn only hope that the foimer counsel
will prevail, but everything must now
be done by the powers, themselves, for
the functions of the neUtra-1 States are
at ail end. The decision of thj Aus
trian Emperor will be termed by his
admirers, finuners: by his enemies,
perversity. We have no desire to
judge harshly a sovereign who has
certainly received much provocation,
but it is to be regretted that Austria
should, for the second time within
seven years, seem to be the cause of a
European wax.. The error of her poli
cy will be proved by- the tempter in
which her foes will receive the news
that she has. strangled the Conference
Wherever there is one who wishes her
ill, whether it be. in the conclaves of
Prussian politicians, in the public
places of the Italian cities, or in the
households of her disaffected provinces,
there will be joy when it is told that
meditation is at an end, and that on
Austria the blame is made %o rest
If the Emperor had detained an agent
of Count lliamark as his adviser, he
could not more effectually have served
the policy of his opponents

Daily, almost hourly, the chalices of
peace fall away. Should the sword be
drawn it is from the Elbe Duchies
that we shall probably hear of the first
seriors events of war, but the con
test in this quarter cannot compare in
importance with that which is impen
ding-on the frontier of the two monar
chies. At an}* moment the Austrians
may hurst into Silesia. It is not un
lik-.iy that the first great- move of Aus
tria will be an attempt to possess her
self of this province.. I; would almost
seem'to be the prize of the conqueror
in the coming campaign ; the Emperor
lias been probably led to look for com
pensation on the province that was
wrested from his house in the last cen
tury. Thi.- is to make up for Venetia
and counterbalance Holstein. If Vene
tia -houid be lost Prussia must defend
herself, for there is no one to help her.
liven if she had a western ally to help
her he could not penetrate into the
heart of Europe. The only aid must
tame from Kussia, and the Czar is
j rtc indisposed to take up arms on
-half of the northern powers. If
Prussia seize Holstein, it is not unlike
ly that Autria will at once cross the
frontier. The Emperor is naturally
desirous to show his strength, and to
gain reputation at the outset by a deci
ded success. Whether Deuedek will
advance through Saxony or IJerJin,
or content himself with a provincial
campaign for. the conquest of Silesia
itself, the first -few.days of the war
must determine, but in either case all
the resources of the empire will be
brought forward to make head against
its late ally.— -From the London
Times, June t}.
Goi,d V atches.—-We see it stated
by the Richrnond papers, that the New
England States do not like to pav
taxes. The Assessors returns of gold
watches give only f2 in the six New
England States..
Neither Rhode Island or Connecticut
acknowledge to a single one, and Ver
mont.only 2. Virgina pay taxes on 168,
which is a large number for the Yanks
to have left in that State, and shows
good hiding on our part.
Par.k Side of Fexiamsm.—The
dark side of the Fenian picture is now
coming to view. In Canada the trial
of the prisoners will soon occur, and
there is cause to apprehend that the
unfortunate men will be severely dealt
with. The press and the people of
Canada are clamorous for the hanging
of the prisoners and it is not unlikely
that a part of them, at least, will suffer
the extreme penalty of the law.

He planted the Drumhead seed in Feb

of the Drumhead cabbage has been a com

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
From the New York Herald we gather,
that Mexican affairs are assuming u.n im
posing attitude at Washington, and since
the transfer of territory has entered into,
the argument on the side of the Liberals,
the subject has at once become all absorb
ing to the American politicians. Gen.
Jesus Gonzaies Ortega, Chief Justice of the
Mexican “to called ” Republic, has sud- :
denlj been discovered to be the legal Pre
sident of the Republic instead of-Juarez,
and a$ the former is now in the United
States, prepared to negotiate and piadge ’
the territories of Sinaloa, Sonora aui Chi- ;
huahua, as security for a loan by the L*ni- i
ted States, the Washington statesmen are
all in favor of upholding the “so called”
Mexican Republic; and even Thad. Ste
phens dropped for a moment his negro equal
ity pleadings, and resolved to endorse the
Mexican bonds. Santa Anna is trying to
obtain a hearing, that he may once more
figure in Mexican affairs, but all the repre
sentatives of that government denounce,
him, and having ascertained that Juarez
ha3 already held his office twelve months i
beyond the constitutional limitation, (lie
favors of the l nited States government
will be bestowed upon Gen. Ortega, as be
fore hinted. .

[FOR THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.]
BROOKS SUPERIOR C OURT, )
JUNE TERM, 1866. $
The Committee to draft suitable Resolu
tions in regard to the members of-the Quit
man Bap, who were killed in the.late war,
beg leave to make the following report:
The storm of war has passed, and under
the magnanimous polic}’ of the President of
the United States, the civil tribunals have
been re-iiistated, and we are again permit
ted in peace to assemble incur Court House,
to engage in our professional business.
During the past-four or five years, most of
the members of the bar had to abandon the
contest of the forum, for the more active
and dangerous sceixes of the battle field.
Some have returned after having passed
through many t0.i13 and dangers. We wel
come- them back to the more quiet and we
trust more profitable pursuits. In the
midst of the pleasure, however, that arises
from commingling with social and conge
nial spirits, a sadness steals over our hearts.
Alas 1 four of the members of The Quitman
Bar, who, at the cal! of their country, went
forth to strike for her rights and honor,
will return no more to.cheer us-with their
familiar, countenances, or greet ua with the
warm grasp of friendship.
.The question naturally arises, where are
they ? The answer comes from the battle
fields of Virginia and Pennsylvania. The
brave and impetuous Col. Mocnger, fell
while gallantly leading his regiment on
the bloody heights of Gettysburg. The
conscientious Hines was slain while nobly
doing his duty upon the far famed plains
of Manassas. Mr. Hunter, then but a boy,
was killed while standing in the front rank
with his face to the foe, and now sleeps
quietly with his comrades in arms at Coitl
Harbor—While Stanley fell like a hero at-
Travillion Station, w-hile waving his hat
and rallying his companions against the
onset of overpowering-numbers.
And. whereas, It is proper that we, the
surviving brothers of the bar, should offer
some appropriate tribute to .their memory,
actuated by a sentiment-expressed by a
warrior poet of our own sunny clime :
“Thrice precious, previous blood,'though
Tainty spilt—
Long as the shore old ocean laves,
We’ll bow above our n-oble dead,
And bless the sod that wraps their graved.”
1. Therefore, be it Resolved,. That our de
ceased professional brethren have endeared
themselves to us'by their many private vir
tues and professional integrity, and that
we will ever entertain for them the fondest
recollection and kindest emotion.
That their self-sacrificing patriotism en
titles their memory be respected and
honored by all who love their country.
2. That wo tender to the families of these
noble patriots, our sympathies in their
great bereavement and irreparable loss.
3. That we request this preamble and
resolutions be spread upon the minutes of
this Court, and a copy be forwarded by
the Clerk to each of the families of the
deceased, also a-copy be furnished to the
Quitman Banner and Southern Enterprise
for publication.

THE STAY I,AW.
Messrs: Editors: I have had sev
eral letters addtessed to me as chairman
of the Committee on the Judiciary of
the House of Representatives asking
my views as to the intention of the
Legislature in passing the proviso- to
the first section of the Stay Law.
My. position as Chairman of the
Committee on the Judiciary does not
give to my opinion any additional
weight, and as a lawyer 1 am sure
there are many in Georgia whose legal
judgment is entitled to more consider
ation, but as the lawyers seem to differ
in their construction of toe proviso,
and several inquiries of general inter
est have been put to me, I will, with
your permiss'on, answer them through
the isutt. . . •
Ist. If defendant, fails to pay one
fourth of the execution by the first of
January, 1807, may plantiff levy and
sell more property than will be suffi
cient to pay ?
My opinion is, that the plaintiff,
under such circumstances, alter the
Ist of January, 1867. will be entitled
to collect his whole debt,
2d. Arc debtors obliged to pay one
fourth (of debts not in suit) before the
Ist of January, 1867, iu order to enti.
tie them to stay .execution- issued on
judgments obtained after the Ist of
January, 1867 ?
My opinion is,, that any debt accruing
prior to June, 1865, on which the
debtor shall fail to pay. 8257, . by the
Ist of January, 18G7, although not in
judgment or even in suit,, is a debt
within the proviso, and that the debtor,
by failing to pay, loses all benefit of
the Stay Law.
The o-bject of the Stay Law was to
give time to the honest debtor, anxious,
but unable to pay and to save his
property from unnecessary sacrifice,
it was thought that a larger amount
of money would be realized to the
aggregate creditors out of the total as
sets of the debtor class by giving four
years credit, than could be realized
by forced payments, but it was expect
ed that debtors would go earnestly to
work to liquidate balances.
If 1 am right in my construction
of the law, the debtor in order to avail
himself of the benefit of the act, must
be prepared in all cases on the Ist of
January, 1867, to show that he has
paid one-fourth of the debt as it ex
isted on the Bth of March, 1866, and
every debt, although occurring prior
to June f 1865, on which payment
shall not be made by the Ist of January,
1867, will be subject to Judgment,
execution and sale as though the act
of Bth of March, 1866, had not been
passed.
Respectfully, J. R. Moses.

The latest news from Europe, is very
warlike. The scheme of a peace con
ference having been abandoned Prus
sia has marohed her troops into Hols

a battle and soon all Europe will ring
with, tho clash of resounding arms:
When hostilities are actually com
menced it will be exceedingly difficult,
to tell when and where they will ter

now neutral, may at any time be
