The Powers Of the Executive Committee.

We were informed several days ago that
their WAS . movement on fpot to secnrs the
appointment Of delegates to the Congress
sional convention by the parish executive
committee, friends Of Col. Richardson
leading the movement hoping, We presume,
that they would he able to control that
committee in his interest. or course
different reasons we're given for such sc-
ton, but when We take into consideration
that the party engineering the plan was a
Richardson man and that perhaps three
the motive was easy to understand.
Therefore We gave the note Of warning in
our editorial on "wire working"
Certain emergencies might justify such
action by an executive committee but
none such exist now. There is ample
time to call mass meeting Of the people
and let them select their delegates. This
mas meeting will he called aud If the
people wish TO instruct for either Of these
mug VI 'u'y WIN
have an opportunity to do 81.
In this connection il may be proper 10
allude TO the comments Of the Farmerville
Gazette on late editorial that appeared
In our columns That journal presumed
that the real trouble with the Guardian
was that we could not induce the people
to follow our lead. The opinion Of the
Gazette upon matter about which it
knows nothing can be Of but little i'm
portance.
As matter now stand Gen. King is de-
cidedly stronger in this parish than any
Of his opponents. Colonel Richardson is
supported by his army comrades aud per
sonni friends, not all Of the latter rnltying
to his support This state Of affairs re-
suits from no dislike Ia Col. Richardson
nor from any accusations against him.
Indeed, we doubt if anything could be
urged against gentleman of his dcserv-
eddy high standing. The people have
followed the present representative
through his term Of public service aud see
no reason to change him for new man.
A lritrr last week with another This week
in each instance from party who stands
high in the esteem of his fellow citizens.
express very fairly what the people think
on this question.
We always regret the necessity that
forces n conflict between two men IN every
way So worthy. Yet ~ It is entirely con
sistrnt with republican methods, we must
make the best of it; aud while we oppose
an honorable, mrrirOtious gentleman to
oppose him with courtesy and fairness.
In this controversy between those jour.
nails that favor these two gentleman We
have yet to see the reason for AN oppoSi.
tinn To Gen. King above the fact that Col
Richardson's friends like him best We
await an answer io The curry made IN
another paragraph IL to the superiority of
Col. Richardson over Cen. King.

NEW ORLEANS, l2th April l-s0.
Gcnl. J. Floyd King, NJ. C.-Dcar Sir: In
relation To the subject Of our recent con-
ycrSatlon, ! would state that all the over
flow watcr~now in Louisiana comes through
the state of Arkansas. The river front of
that State is practically unprotected from
rnssum Fork down 10 the Louisiana line
uf course the State of Louisiana can take
no steps tn give protection against danger
from without her borders, except under
treaty, which must be authorized by Con-
Grcs,.
An effort to establish such n treaty with
the stat" Of Arkansas. in orr Legislature

I~iaturr ratified the proposition, and pre-

II will doubtless grirvc aud astound th"
admirers of Gen. Wade Hampton Ia learn
that he has made speech opposing the
seating of Sp"tinrd. This distinguished
gentleman occupies just now an uufnrtu-
nate position. The plea that tie is honest

(Fron, the Courier.l

(Fron, the Courier.)
 Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Creek Locks, Ulster O., N. Y, had the misfortune to entirely lose the sight of one of her eyes, through an accident, and endured painful infamma- tory action therein for two long years :-- the other eye finally becoming sympathet- ically affected, her general health seriously suffering; indeed, she was mere wreck, n walking skeleton. In this terrible strait, she consulted Dr. David Kennedy, of Rom dout, New York, who told her Ut once that the injured eye must be removed. She quietly but firmly said All right, Doctor. but don't give me chloroferm. Let my hus- band sit by my side during the operation, and will neither cry out or stir. The work was done, and the poor woman kept her word. Talk of soldieriy couragei This showed greater pluck than it takes to face a hundred guns. To restore her general health Dr. Kennedy then gnvo the :" Fa- vorite Remedy" which cleansed the blood, regulated the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, and thus imparted new life to the long-suf- fering woman. She rapidly gained health and strength, and is now we'll. Tho Fa-7 yorite Remedy " is q priceless blessing tD woman N, family sheuld Dc without it. Your druggist has it.
