ators in congress will represent the voice of the whole people. Senator Towle sad circumstances which call this caucus together are unprecedent- ed. The two gentlemen selected by the legislature of this state to repre- sent that state in the United States senate have stepped down and left the people of this state with one tenth of the people of this nation without any representation in the senate. No matter how important may be the matters arising in the United States senate, this great state will have no voice because her re- publican representation basely de serted their places.
 The administration men met foi conference thls evening. There were fifty-seven present, and notes from thirteen more saving that they will vote for men who will support she administration, Resolutions were adopted pledging all present to withhold their support from Conk ling and Platt.

Picayune Springs.
SEARcY O., ARK. May

SEARcr Co.,, ARK, May 20. Editors Russellville Democrat:
 Not having time to answer sepa- rately all the enquiries that have been made by friends of yours, no doubt, in your vicinity, I will say to them, If you will permit, through your columns: There is nothing known on record that has performed the remarkable cures that this water has. It cured Mr. Thompson, of Woodruff county, Ark, after he had spent $2500 at Hot Springs and Eu. reka Springs; got out of money; he was no better; he came here and went into camps, and in eight weeks he was we'll and has been ever since. John Mum carried his wife to Flu reka Springs, troubled with chronic female disease; his own health had been impaired for years, and Mir. Mum died after staying at Eureka about three months. His wife was no better; she started back to her home in Monroe county, Ark, in company with some of her friends on her way back she got So bad her friends had given her up to die. Mrs. Adams, where she had stopped at on the road, about fifteen miles from this spring, now called Picayune Springs, told her that she had been cured of the same troubles by the use of the water of this spring. Her friends hauled her to it and she got well and IS charming looking widow now. Time and space will not allow me here to narrate all the incidents that have occurred here, but 1t will suffice to say it has cured all dis eases of the stomach; it expells worms from nearly everybody that drinks It; it cures dropsy, it cures cutaneous diseases of the skin. There will have some one to come here yet that 1t will not cure before we can find disease it will not cure. It has cured all who have tried it. it is creating some excitement, so much that people are leaving Eureka and coming here and being profited by it. It is free to all who come and drink.
 If you hays a surplus old saw mill in your county send it over; we need it. We have not saw mills enough; plenty of good timber-pine, oak, walnut and stone to build with, but we cannot get it cut fast enough. Boarding house keepers are in sharp demand.
 With this I will close. 1 am one of the oldest citizens of the county. Can't Russellyills help us to estab- fish stage line? We need daily mail here. NEWTON COOPER.

committee, having been appointed by tue democratic state convention, has no power to add to it's body any new members, except in case of death or resignation of some one of the committee, and 1t would be in violation of the democratic party or ganization.
 It is submitted that this resolution embodies the common law of party usage, and that this committee, as the creature of the state convention, cannot undo or revise the work Of it's creator, such power rising only Tn the exceptions stated; and whilst any member of the committee, who saw proper to do so, might resign, and thereby create vacancy to be filled, yet, inasmuch as the appoint ment made 55s l:.a state convention was to each member receiving the same, in the nature of personal trust, and to lay aside that trust and by resignation for that express pur- pose confide it's execution irreyoca- ply to another, might be in meas ure regarded as breach of the nm piled obligation assumed by him in it's acceptance, it became and was to each member question of lndividu- al honor and conscience as to wheth- CT or not sufficient reasons for sur rendering his position to some out side party to whom, perhaps, the convention itself, if consulted, might not have been willing to assign the place. Surely, whatever else might with proprlety have been done, il could not have been reasonably ex- pected that the central committed would or could, consistently with its duty, by system of wholesale resig nations, consent to amalgamate its existence with any outside organiza tion of the friends of any particular measure, however tried and trusty the democracy of those who might desire such action on the part of the committee. Charged with the duty of maintaining intact the oiganiza tion of the party as intrnsted to its hands by that convention which alone was the repository of delegated power, and the authorized exponent of party faith, this committee is not authorized, even if should desire, to remodel it's organization upon sin. gle issue which the convention itself decided was not a party question Neither does this committee assume to itself any authority to dictate g line of policy or course of action tc be pursued by the party in the pres ent emergency, that has been the subject of its deliberations, and the propositions above indicated are only put forward as being perhaps a pos sible solution of a vexed question that might create unfortunate dls sensions within the party.
 In conclusion, the committee would only add that in counselling party harmony they most earnestly invite the continued co operation of the democratic press throughout the state, through whose services In this respect much good has been and may be accomplished.
 Most respectfully presented by the committee on address,
 J. N. SMITHEE,

We lay before our readers today the address of the state central com. mittee which held It's meeting at Lit tie Rock on the 24th ult. We com mend the address to the careful con sideration of all our readers, with the hope that the efforts of the com mittee to adopt platform upon which all democrats can stand, re- gardless Of opinion upon the debt question, will be appreciated and accepted. It is plain that the com mittee desire the continuance of har- mony in the ranks of the party, and to that end in spirit of compromise, have proposed plan by which all democrats - whether possessing amendment or anti amendment pro. clivities-can meet upon common ground to battle with common ene- my. Henceforth we hope to see nc more wrangling over question which has been settled within the | party.

The New York Herald recount

The New York Herald recounting the innumerable scandals whichmake up the history of the republican par ty, and more particularly the wran- gle now going on in the Empire state over the spells of office, says the republican party has out-liyed Its usefulness, and the date of it's demise draws near. The conclusion of the Herald may be correct, but the country will be interested to learn how long the Herald will en- certain this opinion, The Herald enjoys the distinction of being the most successful political turn-coat of modern times.

Little has been said this spring concerning yellow fever, or the prob. abilities of its rsappearanee, and very little apprehension seems to be felt on the subject. The same energetic sanitary policy, however, that SC largely restored pubic confidence last year at Memphis and other points below, will be continued throughout the season. Everything has been done that the best author ities could suggest even to the building of a floet of hospital boats to intercept suspected cases on their way mp the river, and the whole country joins in the hope that the plague has been permanently avert cd at last.

A surveying party passed through FC. Smith Monday enroute for Mus cogee, l. T. From that point they vill commence the survey for rail road to Ft. Smith. The party who were surveying this route short time ago were ordered out ot the ter ritory by the Cherokee authorities, but the present corps of engineers have been invested with all the nec- essary rights, and no fears of their being molested are entertained.

Major Frank Wise, of Pine Bluff, is writing an answer to Judge Turgee's defamatory book, "The Fools Brand" in which the south IS grossly defamed. Maj. Wise is forcihle and scholarly wri- ter, and his work will doubtless be a masterly vindication ot those effected by the enyenomed darts of Judge Turuee.

It is the opinion of the Gazette that the Malone bubble has burst. The Virginia readiusters have drop ped hIm; the Virginia republicans will not have him; the republicans of the north furnish him only the support found in sneers; he is no longer in favor with the president !, being no longer useful to the stal- warts, he is kicked aside like an old shoe. As q readjuster he amounted to something at home. As n polit- ical nonentity, jugg.er and spells grabbsr, his career seems to have ended. The Malone rocket has come down, 4 miserable, weak, char red, broken stick.

Facts About Northwest Arkan'
 sas--By North Alabamian.

Editors Russellville Democrat;
 l promised many friends before leaving Alabama that during this year I would gather up correct in formation in reference to this portion of Arkansas, and her people, and communicate with thom from time to time as travel around in the diff ferent sections. At your request l get them up for the DEMOCRAT and hope the editor of the Spirit of Ar kansas" will copy for the benefit of his numerous readers in North Ala bama, North Georgia and East Ten nessee, hundreds of whom desire to leave those old wornout lands for the fresh and fertile fields of the west. Many said to me: "If YOU will tell us, we will believe you. So I will try to tell them TRuLY-facts, and nothing but what I hear from the people 1 converse with.
 JAMES RoRAx,
 Came here from Jackson county, Alabama, nine years ago. Had noth- ing as a capital to start on but 8 stout heart and willing hands. He now owns eighty acres of good land in Pope county, is out of debt and lives quite comfortable.
 MIR. JOHNSON
 Came from Tennessee four years last fall, with nothing but small family entirely dependent upon their indus try for living. He bought eighty acres of railroad land at S5 per acre It is good upland, has cleared and got under good fence and good state of cultivation thirty acres of it. Has good house, not quite finished, has tive horses, several head of cattle and nice stock hogs, his land and all paid for with four crops, beside sup porting hIs family which has com mendably increased In number and size. He and his noble wife are workers. All are healthy and happy. MIR. BROWN
 Came from Tennessee - years ago with very little; now owns eighty acres of good land, we'll improved and stocked. Has a good orchard and ornamental shrubbery, a com fortabls dwelling, all is paid for. Never could have done so we'll in Tennessee.
 VIM. H. ARMSTRONG BROS.
 Came from Jackson county, Alabama, October 1880. Had enough to get here on and purchase some supplies. Rented good land, paid the rent in repairs before spring. Have ire quently worked, never have seen the day that they could spare from home but what they could get work at from 75e. to $1.25. They have a fine crop growing, are well pleased with their prospects, and if they work as we'll as they did In Alabama they will soon rise to independence. They are located few miles from Dardanelle, in Yell county, which has the best LARGE bodies of land I have yet seen in this region, and in the highest state of cultivation. In 1879 the wheat threshers kept an ac- count of the acreage and the bushels of wheat threshed, and found that the whole crop of the county averag- ed 274 BUSHELS PER ACRE.
 The present growing crops are, to an Alabamian, looking fine for the 26th May. J. JOSIAH SMITH.

Already some of the papers of the state are mentioning the names of suitable persons for the next govern or of Arkansas. Judge J. H. Berry, of Benton county, has been men toned more frequently in this con nection than any one else, and the following from the Harrison Times we endorse Tn toto: Judge Berry is competent honest and able, and his selection as standard bearer of the democratic party at the ne xt election would be hailed with delight by his myriads of devoted friends in this part of the moral vineyard"

Accident Policies,

H. S. Ticknor did quite a lively business
on Thu'sd y issuing acc dent policies For
25 cents he insured the lives OF the passcn-
gers for $1,000, the policy being good for
twenty-four hours. just before the train
moved Off he started report that one Of the
bridges was in bad condition, and the
policies went off like hot cakes. He says
nat one man refused to invest until the
train was nearly to Hawthorne, when some
cattle crossed the track, causing the engine
to give several blood curslling shrieks. The
man went down for a quarter and bought a
policy on the spot.
