Gov. r. C. Powers has, under his hand

The failure of the late Louisville
Ledger newspaper, which was established
with such large basis of capital and
credit, and sustained by so many appa-
rently powerful influences, and conduct
ed with undoubted talent and skill-has
been productive of much comment in
journalistic circles, and has furnished a
theme for innumerable discourses on the
subject of newspaper enterprises gene
rally. From among the number we have
copied the following from the Atlanta
Constitution:
1t teaches two valuable lessons. First.
that even under the most favorable circum-
stances, the establishment of daily news
paper is seldom successful. In nine cases
out of ten, failure is the result. To succeed.
il is necessary that a journal mustwin tho
confidence, which means the patronage, OF
the people in its principles, and OF the bus
mess community in its material prosperity.
This. of course. requires time, and fortunes
are sunk before the goal is reached, and
suspension follows.
We see. secondly. the power of an estab-
lishcd press The Courier-Journal went
the whole length of the New Departure
against ttic pftluulceS anu OppOSldou oi tue
great body of the Democracy of Kentucky.
Yet it did not bulge one inch from its posi-
ton. but boldly defied the storm OF course
the business community patronized rs ever
looking TO the interest of business. The
sequel now proves that the affections of the
people for an old and fayorite paper could
not be weaned away. though 1t ran counter
to their wishes in political movement.
Once a newspaper has entrenched itself in
the confidence of business men and in the
is not surpassed. battling all efforts to crush
It as easily as the rock beats back the fierce
assaults of wratn-crested waves. A journal
having once attained this position. it can
ana does smile at the puny attempts either
of envy or malice made against is. for
heneeforth it is an assured success and
iiourishes in great prosperity. But as be-
fore remarked. there is but one newspaper
enterprise in ten that ever gains the turn
ing point of success.

We have copied elsewhere enter
tanning reading in the form of some para
graphs from the speech of Hon. Ben.
Hill, of Georgia, who is one of the first
intellects of the South. He was the last
Wing candidate for Gov ernor Of his State
before the war; and still holds in reverence
the principles of the party of Henry Clay.
From this standpoint he surveys the
whole field of political strife, and in this
speech he proclaims where he has taken
his stand. He tells us that he could not,
as a Southern man, affiliate without dis
grace with the party that has .harassed,
insulted, plundered and oppressed the
white race of the South for the past six
years in its unarmed and defenseless con-
dition, and that it is his purpose
to make the memory ''of the insult
'offered by the dominant party so
'inefaceable that it will descend to our
children for generations to come" In
executing this resolve and following his
conviction of duty he is inevitably drawn
into the Democratic party of the present
day, which he and other Whi0 leaders
were instrumental in organizing in the
Southern States in 1868. He is ''willing
s'and ready to adopt better party when
''ever the patriotism of the) country
"shall propose it" And what true man
is not?
Not the least portion of Mr.. Hills
speech are his words to the young men
of the South who are to bear the heat
and burden of the coming day. There is
joy in the fact which he announces that
except the very few young men in the
South who have been benefited and car
ried into office by the Radical party,
there are none of that class who have
identified themselves with it. 1t is not
too late for those who were misled to
retrace their steps,
