~ DR.. J. D, SMITH, the late withdrawn
candidate for the State Senate from this Dis
trict, is out in a card in. the Pointe. Cuupee
Echo, declaring that : the unexpected procla-
nation Of the Governor issued to hold an
election at a season Of the year when it can
not be reasonably expected that one-half of
the votes of the District will be cast" has
induced him, to believe that he wouldn't get
votes enough to- elect him, and, SO, very sem
Gbly withdraws. An excellent excuse when
certain defeat awaits a candidate. If the
polling of half a vote affects the chances of
one candidate, why should it not affect the
chances of the other' Its a poor rule that
wont work both ways, and Dr.. sM1rH's sue
cessor, Maj. COURTNEY can make the best of
1t. 1t is to be hoped that the country will
remain safe after such an awful determine
ton on the part of the sensitive DR.. SMITH.

u Our usually even-tempered cotenpo-
rary the Pointe Coupe Echo. in a late num-
Der jocularly alludes to Col. BA ROW as hav-
Ing, at one time, been a member of the Amer
lean party. The Echo has been misinformed
by some designing person who wishes to
place Mr. BARROW before the people of this
Senatorial District in a false position. Col.
BARROW never joined the American party, or
affiliated with it: ami we defy the author of
this charge to substantiate it. There is no
disgrace in having been a member Of that
party,-rather do We think it an but
when we see such a charge preferred against
a candidate for pubic Office, for no other pur.
pose than to injure his prospects of success,
we think it should be refuted BY those most
likely to know anything of the matter. We
know, from our long connection with the
American party Of this State, and more d.
rectIy with our parish organization, that the
gentleman alluded to, ever held himself aloof
from the American party, although repeat
eddy solicited by his friends to Join. Col.
BARROW quilted til. Wing ranks to ioin the
Democracy in its darkest hours of peril in
1855, ami remained a firm, consistent member
Of that party. He is entitled to more credit
for his course at that time, than those elev-
enth hour converts who went over after the
battles had been fought and Won, and when
the vletcrs were rsvslline i'll the spcils.

named Rilgea returned and threatened TO
drive them out Ono Of the men stabbed
him mortally RilEca's brother and his
Fl lend came to the scene and in tho melee
that followed, the latter was frightfully
wounded. Hiram Rilzoa then shot one Of
the men and started for Roudoubt where he
gave himself up to the authorities; no WINS
