the country reaps no advantage,
amounting to nearly a hundred and
eighty-seven, millions of dollars, and
alf the rest of the bad legislation with
which the people have been afflicted.
Inasmuch as these are all grievances
against which the public have common
cause of complaint, the best thing that
the Convention can do is to admit into
its deliberations tho representatives
of all parties who may present them
selves. and let them all go to work,
according to the light that they are
favored with, to establish a healthier
order of things. Ihere will be many
candidates for admission, and it can
not be expected that each will be
agrcable to the other. Objections of
various kinks will be raised, aud an
tecedents will probably be raked up
as barriers to participation in the coun
cils of the Convention. It will’ be
wise to overlook all such objections,
and give every one a chance to have
his say on the vital matter to be dis
cussed. We want new men as well as
new measures to bring the country
Lack to its original prosperity, and
nulify as far as possible the work of
the corrupt faction in Congress. The
ancient Christian Church was formed
out of heathens and Jews, for the
very simple reason that there were no
other classes in existence at that epoch
from which to form anew faith —idol
worshippers, and devil worshippers,
and belivers in the piophets, and those
who bowed down before the golden
calf; and yet out of these elements
we got the grand Christian dispensa
tion,, with all its blessings, which have
even fallen in a greater or less degree
upon the politicians. Let the Phila
delphia Convention, therefore give a.l
the elements —-no matter how discor
dant —a chance, and something good
may come out of the admixture. —-A. Y-

CONVENTION AT BLACKMIEAIt.
The District Convention met at Black

appointment. Most of the Counties in the
District were represented, and the action
of the body was expeditious and harmoni
ous. Judge W. B. Fleming of Liberty, and
Gen’l John B. Gordon of Glynn, were ap
pointed delegates in chief to the Philadel
phia Convention, and Col. A. T. Mclntyre
of Thomas, and Maj. P. C. Pendleton of
Loundes, alternates.

This great work is at last announced as
a success, and Europe anu America are re

The proceedings of this Convention came
100 iate for publication this week, but not
too late for us to express our hearty appro
val of the able speech of Gen. Gordon be
fore that body, lie was actuated by the
right motive and prompted by the right
spirit. Whether he will be an acceptable
member of the Philadelphia Convention we
• cannot tell, but no man would be a truer
! representative of the First Congressional
District of Georgia. Judge Fleming is also
a good selection as far as our knowledge
extends of his political views. The follow
ing from the proceedings of the Convention
will show its action in reference to the se
lection of delegates for the State at large :
“ Whereas, It will be inexpedient to con
vene the District delegates for the election
of delegates for the State at large to the
Convention at Philadelphia previous to the
meeting of that body.
And whereas, The Convention of the 4th
Congressional District have elected as dele
gates to said Philadelphia Convention lion.

in this action ; therefore be it
ResolveJ, That this Convention ratify
said election of delegates and alternates for

A DE AD FAILURE !
The editor of the Quitman Banner, made
a dead failure last week to sustain his po
sition in reference to the law governing
Ordinaries in their publications, after a
most desperate and laborious effort, in
which he worried through two whole columns.
We certainly admire his energy, but de
plore the disaster of his failure. His giant
efforts, perhaps, deserved better success,
but the fates were against him, as was also
the weight of the evidence. We shall not
undertake to follow him through those two
dreadful columns, in which the immensity
of his genius has succeeded only in erect
ing a wall of vulnerable assurance ; —nor
will we undertake to combat the ardor
of his unju-t and groundless prejudices
against the Enterprise.
We shall confine ourself strictly to the
| law part of the argument, and refer only
to two or three particular points in his ar
ticle.
After quoting half a
tinent ” law, declaring that Ordinaries
shall advertise, without designating in whit
paper , the editor of the Banner throws it all
overboard, and declares that it is not “ ma
terial to his argument.” Taking anew
, tack at this point, he goes back to the de
fense of his old obsolete statute of 1850,
; which he admits is not to be found in the
, new law, (the Code) but reiterates his first
! assertion, and declares that it is the law,
aiiTl this he is willing to risk before the
1 tribunals of public censure, &c.
To sustain this position, be says, the
j Code does not repeal the act of 1850, and
therefore “all acts not conflicting with the
Code, and which are essential to its proper
operation, arc still of force.” Our answer
to this is, that as the act of 1850 is not es
sential to the proper operation of tho Code,
therefore, by the editor’s own argument, the
act of 1850 is not in force. Again, he says,
the above rule laid down by him, is “ fully
sustained by the 9th rule of section sth of
the Code,” which he quotes as follows:
“ Ir. all interpretations, the Courts shall
look diligently for the intention of the Gen
eral Assembly, keeping in view, at all
times, the old law, the evil and the remedy.”
The ninth rule he refers to, in reality
! reads as follows :
“ Ainth ■ —ln all interpretations, the
| Courts shall look diligently for the iuten
* tion of the General Assembly, keeping in
view, at all times, the old law, the evil and
the remedy. Grammatical errors shall not
vitiate, and a transposition of words and
clauses may be resorted to when the sen
tence or clause is without meaning as it
j stands.”
Why did not the editor of the Banner
publish this last paragraph of the “ ninth
rule?” We answer because he knew it
would be fatal to his argument —he knew
that it explained the first paragraph which
he quoted, to mean the reverse of his inter
pretation. lie knew as well as any lawyer
that the meaning of the “9th rule of the
sth section of the Code,” had do reference
whatever to old laws or statutes not em
braced in the Code, but referred strictly
and solely to matters and things treated ot
in the Code. But not only does the second
ptragraph of the n'ath rule show the utter
fallaciousness of his argument, but the first
paragraph of the same rule, upon which he
I goes before the “ tribunal of public censure,’-
totally annihilates him, and, to complete
his disaster, according to his own “ rules
of interpretation.” For, says he, “In all 1
interpretations, the Courts shall look dill- I
gen;ly for the intention of the General As- I
sembly.” By this quotation he misleads
his readers, (if they are blind enough to
believe him.) by leaving them to infer that (
the act of 1850 having been inadvertently t
1 omitted in the Code, is still the law. be- j
cause it vras neither incorporated in the
Code nor expressly repealed by it. But
this pretense is too shallow. Every sensi
ble man knows it was the ** intention of the
General Assembly,” that all the laws of
force in the State should be embraced in
the Code, and as the old act of 18-30 cited
by the editor, t cat not incorporated in the
Code, it is fair to presume, until the con
trary is shown, that n was purposely left
out for the want of force. The “ intention
of the General Assembly,” in authorizing
the Code was fully shown in our issue of
the 18th ultimo, and also their declaration j
| that “ such a Code will furnish all the infor
mation, on the subject of law , required either
by the citizen or the subordinate magistrate.”
But the benighted mind of the editor of the
Banner requires more. It is not clear and
definite enough for him to appreciate it,
and he cannot tell for the life of him, how
it was that the old obsolete statute of 1850
was left out of the Code, when he was rely
ing wholly upon it to frighten County offi
cers into ranks.
Having failed to produce any law to sus
tain his position, after three weeks consid-
I eration and research, we think the editor
of the Banner should give up the contest.
At any rate, the argument is closed on our
side. We have taken no notice of his per
sonalities, or his spread eagle boasts of the
great popularity and success of the Banner.
If they were necessary to give force an i ef
fect to his argument, be it so—we stood in
need of no such auxiliaries.. But we t .link
we are entitled to the thanks of County
officers generally, for bringing about so
great a reduction in the advertising rates es
the Quitman Bimner-, a journal whose im
mense circulation gives it so vast a weight
and influence in this government.

BOSTOX AXD ITS HOSPITABLE
PEOPLE.
Barely indeed, in “ these latter days,”
has there been a social gathering that gave
more pleasure to those who attended, than
did ths Barbecue-Pic-Nic at Boston, on
Thursday last,
The citizens of the vicinity, quite in
their long and well established
reputation for genuiue sociability and Vir
ginia hospitality, had made, by the ener
getic activity of a very efficient working
Committee, ample preparation for hand
somely entertaining the large number of
guests present, from both Thomas and
Brooks. No Stone was left unturned to
give importance aud eclat to the occasion.
The tempting appearance of the table
when dinner was announced, ought to have
satiated the veriest Epicurean. The evi
dence of liberal hearts aud well-filled lard- I
ers, was satisfactory and incontrovertible \
beyond dispute. Comfortable seats, cool j
water, luscious fruits and melons, pretty |
ladies and gallant gentlemen were abundant. ‘
The young, old, and middle aged alike, i
seemed delighted—putting away for the
time at least, the adhesive cares of life, and
delivering themselves up to a happy social
izing abandon. Nothing in the least unto
ward transpired to mar the joy of the day. J
Duriug the war aud since its alleged dis- ;
continuance, several families have moved j
into the vicinity, some from North Carolina ;
and some from other sections of this State.- |
They would constitute a valuable addition
to the society of any community, and 1
know must be greatly missed by the sec
tions from which they came. The new ac
quaintances formed were extremely pleas
ant, while the reunion with old friends and
familiar faces, brought, vividly “to mind |
the memory of other days,” and inspired J
vio ytilK now liopo and frcsli countgo fur I
the conflict of life.
About 4 o’clock, P. M., n fine shower, :
with a stiff gale from the East came over,
cooling the arid earth and watering the
grateful earth.
Farming interests in this portion of the
County, seem to have suffered but compara
tively little for lack of rain. Corn- and’
Cotton look really fine, and the thrifty far
mers are wearing cheerful faces at the
prospects they now have for a lucrative
yield. May they realize their most san
guine expectations, and the worthy people
of Boston and vicinity, live long to enjoy
the repetition of many such a merry day,
evbr prays an Invited Guest.
