The Powers OF THE PREsIDESr.-The
National Intelligencer, of the 18th, de-
clares that the judiciary is simply the
judge Of a law, but that the president is
the judge of those public events and
combinations which threaten the over.

acy of the law. 1t therefore urges him
to employ all his authority to preserve
the Constitution and put down what it
calls q widespread conspiracy to over
throw the Constitution, as evinced in the
enforcement of the recontruction acts.

unusual significance is attached to the
editorial in political quarters.

TIE SUGAR CRop.-In reviews, or rather,
anticipations, in the Northern papers, of
the products Of the general crops this
season, we notice that Louisiana is put
down for twice the sugar crop of last
year. From what several of the sugar
factors say of this, we opinc the estimate
must rather be beyond the mark. TIE

A physician, in Gloucester, Mass, who
died several years since, told a friend in
confidence that he often administered pills
made of brown bread soaked in paregoric,
to that class of his patients who were
always imagining themselves sick. The
pills satisfied such patients and did them
no harm, while it added greatly to the
reputation of the good old doctor.

A WORD WITH OUR FRIENDS IN
WATERLOO,

The question of building the Neosho
Valley Railroad may not seem 10 be of
much importance to the remote portions
of the county. But We beg our Water
loo friends especially to note the fact that
the Valley Road will, in short time. be
the means of q very material reduction of
county taxes, in which they are as nearly
interested as any portion of our people.
Then, too, while the localities contiguous
to the Railroad would, of course, reap the
greatest advantages. Jet in such matters
the prosperity of the great mass is the
prosperity of all it's parts. The growth
aud prosperity ofthe Neosho and Cotton
wood Valleys will be reflected upon eve.

at large is prosperous, will it not enhance

and emigration will seek it, and sll of its
parts will be bsne6ttsd thereby. The up
lands Of Waterloo need the cheap build,

Valley road would bring as much as any

ments in its favor that are now operating

mont, Jackson and Elmendaro townships
apply with almost equal force to
Waterloo. There are narrow-minded
men in every community with whom the
guinea is so squarely before their eyes
that they cannot see the or eater sum be-
you'd; but it cannot be that such men as
Phillips. Appleby. Hicks. Nickel, Hutch
iuson, the Bssls, Waymau, Bush. San
ford and the many others in Waterloo,
whom we count as among the foremost
men of the county, are Of this sort. We
hope to put Waterloo along side the re-
mainder of the county in support of the
proposition to aid the Valley Road.
