A special to tho Picayune from New Jberia says : About 200 Republicans, princi pally negroes, entered Lareauvillo Sat urday afternoon, cheering in the wild est manner and using profane and oli Bceno language in the greatest, profu sion. The crowd was headed by Ex Sheriff Viator, and they assailed tho Democratic candidate in the vilest' tcrnm Tho most reliable, and impar tial witnesses agree .that a fe.w of tho citizens of Lareauville, not over fifteen, led by Joe Gilfaiu, met. this crowd of Kellogites and remonstrated with tbera, when some unknown party fired on Gilfau,v Tho assault was very un expected on tho part of the Democrats and before they could rally Gilfaux and Captain Bell had fallen. The Let ter's pistol was taken from his body. It had not been discharged. As soon as the shooting commenced there was the greatest confusion, ,and the negroes scattered in cvqry direction. It is very probable that many of the balls of the Kelloggites found victims in their own ranks. When the negroes stampeded they left their wounded to take caro of themselves.

THE SUl'ItKME COUltT DECIDES AN IMPOR TANT CASE. AN INDIAN NOT A CITIZEN OK THE UNITED STATES WITHIN THE MEANING OK THE FOURTEENTH AMEND MENT. Washington, Nov. 3. A decision was rendered by tho Supremo Court of the United Stales this afternoon in an other of the series of cases which havo arisen out of tho adoption of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. The present case, which is that of John Elk, plaintiff in error, acainst Uharlcs wilkms, and which comes from a district of Nebras ka, is tho suit brought by an Indian against the registrar of one of the wards of tho city of Omaha for refus ing to register him ns a qualified voter uiereiu, The questions presented are wliPther tho plaintiff in error is a citizen of tho United States, and whether he has oeen denied any right guaranteed him by tho Fifteenth amendment to tho federal constitution. Tho court in a long and elaborate, opinion by Justice Gray holds, first, that an Indian who is born a member of ono of the Indian tribes, within the United States, which still exists and is recognized as a tribo tiy tho government and who has volun tarily separated himself from his tribe and has taken up his residence among whito citizens of state, but who has not been naturalized or taxed or recog nized ns citizens, either by tho United States or statp, is not a citizen of tho United States within tho meaning of the first section of tho fourteenth amendment. Second, that tho plaintiff in error" not being a citizen of llio United States under tho fourteenth amendment has been deprived of no ngnt secured by tno lilteenth amend ment and cannot maintain this action.

A short time ago it was reported that Dr. Roller, of Vienna, a young man pursuing his studies there, had ac cidentally discovered a new anoHthetio, he noticed that when he instilled a few drops of a two per cent, solution of Cocaine hydrochlorato (an alkaloid of JSrythroxylon coca) into his eyes, they becamo insensible to tho touch. On Monday before last tho effect of this nuiesthctio was tried in a caso of double over mature cataract, at Mount Sinai Hospital, in this city. Tho pa tient, a woman ot titty, was placed up on the operating chair, and a fuw drops of the solution were put into tho oyc. This wns repeated threo times at intervals of five minutes. The opera tion was completed without causiug the patient, who was conscious through out, any pain. Since that time other operations upon tho eye and tho mil cuous cavities of the nose, throat, etc, havo been performed in a painless manner. This morning tho writer of this notico had occasion to notice tho wonderful effect of tho annrosthctio on his own person. It was instilled into tho nasal cavity, in the manner do scribed, preparatory to the removal of n polypus, this operation having been resorted to several tunes before, and being-always attended witli considera ble pain. The effect of tho anaisthetiu was most striking, the leneatcd extrac tion of' the polypi, with Storek'B snare, being generally absolutely painless, nnd making itself barely felt in ono or two instances. Tho only sensation ap proaching pain was duo to tho usual distension of the skin caused by the in troduction of the speculum. There was a sensation of numbness in the nose prior to the operation, such as is produced by extreme cold, and tho re turning sensibility manifested itsolf in n very slight sensation of pain after the operation. iv. J . J'ost. True Eyen Unto Death. THE DESPERATE DEVOTION 01'' AN OUT LAW'S WIKH IN SOUTHERN COLORADO. From Die Denver Setts.) The following characteristic story of frontier life was told the reporter of tho News by Mr. Nelson Franklin, who js in the city and who has lived for somo timo during tho past t'o years In Silverton and other towns and camps in Southern Colorado ; "A daring robbery had been com mitted. Tho officials of a well-known banking institution in a town in South ern Colorado, upon reaching tho buitd ing ono morning, discovered that a si do door had been broken open, tho tasteiung ot an inner door forced and the safo containing the bank's valuables trilled and blown, and relieved of its contents, A careful searcli of the premises revealed tho bpdy of tho watchman in an adjoining vacant lot pierced with knife wounds and covered with bruises, showing the evidence of a Btruggle, and that moro than ono per son was engaged in tho murder and robbery. Soon the whole commu nity was aroused and the Sheriff, with a posse of armed nnd mounted men, was ready to start on tho trail of the murderers. But who wero thoy and whero could they bu found wero quea tious easier to ask than to answer. "On tho floor of the banking-room was found a large brimmed sombrero, decorated with peculiar spangles, ami which several citizens identified as hav ing been worn by ono of three stran gers who came into town tho afternoon beforo and had been drinking at sever al saloons during tho evoniug. A tol erably fair description of these men was obtained, also the information given by a ranchman who camo into town during tho morning that threo men answering tho description, armed and mounted on powerful horses, hail passed him while on his way in about daylight, going south at a rapid rate, evidently on their wuy to New Mex ico, "Upon hearing the ranchman's story the officers separated into three squads and started off well equipped for an encounter, Every trail over tho moun tain was examined and every possible cluo followed for several days, but to 'no purpose. The bank officials, Mayor of tho town aud Govoinor of tho Statu offered rowards for tho capture of tho miscreants, which in tho aggregate amounted to several thousands of dol lars. This induced a largo number of determined and bravo men to join in tho pursuit, wliioh was prosecuted for DEMOCRAT, BLOOMSB URG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA. more than n week without result. "Finally ono of these parties, com posed of threo of tho best frontiersmen in tlio country, eamu suddenly upon tho fugitives in rt rooky canon in tho, fastnesses of tho Nee'dlo Mountains shortly after daybreak, just as they wcro making preparations for n rude breakfast. Calling upon them to sur render, thoy weio ntisweied by a volley of shots, which wero (it onco returned.. The battlo being ono of life or death, the firing Insted smiio minutes wilh'iiit result, when ono of tho desperadoes fell mortally wounded. Tho others, apparently a man and li boy, kept up tho firing until their ammunition wns exhausted, when they Were compelled pvrtorce to surrender. 1 hey were la ken back to tho camp or main rendez vous of tho pursuing paily, together with the body of the dead man. There it was ptoposed to lynch the survivors, when n singular thing happened. Tho boy, who appeared to bo not over eighteen yoais of ago und of fair com plexion und long hair, nddresed the assemblage about as follows : 'Gentle men, I suppose wo have not very long to live, but beforo you carry your pur pose into execution allow mo to say that this man was innocent of aav com plicity in tho murder, but that tliu man who is dead and myself killed him, und your vengeance should fall upon mi? the only guilty ono living.' "Tho clear, musical, pleading voice, the long hair streaming in tho wind, and tliu bright, s p a i k 1 1 n g eyes, which glowed wild animation and were suffused with tears during tho appeal, produced an im pression upon theso rough men for which they nt the time could npt no count. At tho conclusion, however, the other prisoner suddenly startud up and said : 'Gentlemen, don't believe the story told you. This is my wif--, who from her dovotion tounworthv me, has accompanied ma in all my wander ings dressed in the garb of .i inan. She has in many desperate encounters sav ed my life and though delicately i car ed, has shared in all tho hardships, dangers and privations of my lough lifo and not only had no share in tho transactions of thatevonlng, but would havo prevented them could she have done so. Don't believe her : she would save my lifo at tho expenso of her own.' "This streak of manliness in a na- turo so apparently mean rathered stag gered the men in their intensions for a few moments, but presently 'some of tho leaders remembering theii' purpose, ordered that preparations should at onco be made for tho f. hanging of tho man. Suddenly tho-womau sprang up liko a tigress"!" about to bo deprived of her youfig", and snatching a pistol from (ho belt of one of the men, defied them to hang her husband ; then, in another spirit, she fell on her knees and pitoously prayed tho stern men beforo her to spre her love, her life. Tho appeal was most piteous and affecting, and at its closo she fell into a dead swoon. Carrying her to one side, tho ghastly prepara tions wero soon completed, and but ,i few minutes later the body of Jabk Maitland was swinging in mid air, and the punishment for tho cruel ciimo which had been committed was com plete. Tho wifo was conveyed to town and after hovering between lilo and death for weeks finally recovered suffi ciently to be sent homo to her friends in the East, who proved to bo people of wealth and standing.'' The Resoue of Greely. A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT Or THE FINDINC1 Of the artic explorers. com. schey's description. Tho report of Commodore Winficld Scott Schley of the expedition under his command for tho relief of the Gree ly party has been submitted to tho Secretary of tho Wavy. It details at length tho hardships that attended tlw voyage of tho search vessels substan tially as they havo been heretofore le lated aud describes the scenes that at tended tho rescue. The impressive i-eeno under Greely's tent is pictured a tollows : Lieutenant Greely was found in his sleeping bag, his body inclined for ward and his head resting on his left hand. Tho book of Common Prayer was open nnd held in his right hand. He appeared to be reading prayers to Private Council, whoso condition was uost duHH-rala nnd cntioal. Ho was cold to the waist, all sensation of lmn- 'er gone, was speechless and almoht breathless. His eyes were fixed and glassy. Indeed, his weakness was such that it was witli difficulty that he swal lowed the stimulants giv-n him by Drs. Green and Ames, nis jaws had drop ped, his heait was barely pulsating and his body temperature verv low. AN AVTECT1NO SCENE. This tender scene of helpless al most famishod officer consoling a dy- ng companion was in itself one that brought tears to tho eyes of tho strong est and those who stood about them on tho merciful errand of relief. Sergeant? Brainard and Fredericks nnd Hospital Stewartt Bicderbick wero extremely weak and hardly able to stand j they wero no longer able to venture away from their camp to seek food,n0r to pre pare their simple diet of boiled seal- skin nor to collect lichens, nor to catch shrimps upon which they had to de pend to a great extent to sustain life. Thoir faces, hands and limbs wero swollen to such an extent that they could not ho recognized. This indica ted that the entuo party had but a shoit lease of life, probably not more than forty-eight hours at most. This fact wns recognized by them all and had o.imu to them from their experi ence during that long and desolate winter in watching their dying com panions, as one after another passed away irom among them forever. 1IRAVE SERdEANT ELLISON, Poor Sergeant Ellison wns found in his sleeping bag, whero ho had lain helpless and hopeless for months, with hands and feet fiozen off. Strapped to ono of the stumps wns found a spoon, which somo companions had se cured tlioio to enable him to feed him self. His physical condition otherwise appeared to bo the best of any of the survivors and this may bo attiibutod to the fact that each of his companions had doled out to him on account of his complete hclplexsness to add anything to his own by hunting about tho rocks for lichens or catching shrimp. He suf fered no waste of strength by exertion incident thereto. Tliu case of Ellison was such as only bravo and generous men, eulteiing with each other under , tho most desperate circumstances, could IIIIIIK ot. Sergeant Long was very much ro duced, though in somewhat better con condition than some of the others. Ills office of hunter for tho starving party hnd made it necessary to increase slightly his piuanco of food to main tain his strength that he might contlii uu the battle lor food and lifo to the helpless. In his case, nowever, the ef fect of this continued effort has told its story in his wasted form. Blunter nun suorier journeys wero mado hi good weather, whilo in the frequent pan wciuncrot unit region ins strength wns so much htipalrcd that, when the joyful signal wns heard, ho had ohly Btroilgth enough to stagger out to tho rocks overlooking tho water to see if the signal heard had proceeded from ships in sight. a .torrtii. sioiit. His first visit was n bitter disap potnliueul, ns ho saw nothing. His second visit, fifteen minutes later, Srought him within l!ft yards of tho Bear's steam-cutter nnd In view of tho relit fshipH coming around Capu Sa bine. W hen the steam-cutter ran into tin! bench, where Long was seen, ho rolled down the ice-covered tliff and was taken into tho cutler. Re inform ed Lieutuilnnt Colwell that the loca tion of tho camp wns just over the cliff. In tho easy of Scigennt Ellison tho medical officers were fearful from tho hist that Ins chances of life ivero voiv small, As soon ns healthful food was available anil tho digestlvo functions should be re-established iiilly, tho healthful loniid of blood circulation 111 . . t. i . wouiu oegui us distribution ot now lifo to the ini'tircd parts and inllimma- tion would naturally occur. If Elli son's strength should luoreaso moro rapidly than tho inflammation tho am putation of tho injured parts would, perhaps, save his life. Several days auer ins rescue, .nine U3, l)v. liroon ro potted that Ellison was threatened with congestion of tho brain. Tho symptoms increased ranidly until the poor fellow lost his reason. At God haven his condition was so criticat that thy surgeon of tho expedition, after consultation, determined to nmputato ucin ieei, aoovo tno ankle, as the only chance of life left the sufferer. Disease, however, triumphed and amid tho bleak scenes that had surrounded him for three years in his hroie sacrifice and within tliu desolate solitudo of that solitude of that region of everlasting ieo and snow, surrounded by his sor rowing comrades, he passed awav about 3 a. m. of July 7, three davs af ter the amputation. LtEUTENANT OREELY's CONDITION. Lieutenant Greely was physically trie weakest, but mentally the most vigorous of his party. Ho had lain in His sleeping oag tor weeks on nccount of his gradually fulling strength. He was utiablo to stand alouo for auy icngiii or time and was nlmost helpless, except in a sitting posture; nil pangs of hunger had ceased ; his appuaranoo wns wild, his hair was long and tin kempt, his fnco and hands were cover ed witli sooty, black dirt, his body was scantily covered witli worn-out clothes, his form was wasted, his joints were swollen and his eyes wero sunken. ms hrst inquiry was if thoy wero not Englishmen, but when ho was told that we wero his own countrymen he paused for a moment as if reflecting, then said : "And I am glad to see you.'' Tho condition of his camp was in keeping witli the scenes insido the tent despeiate and desolate. Tho bleak barrenness of tho spot, over which tho wild Arctic bird would not fly ; tho row of graves, on a little ridge ouu hundred leet away, with the protruding heads and fee't of those lately buried, a sad but silent witness to the half-increasing weakness of the little band of survivors ; the deserted winter quarters in tho hollow below, with its broken wail, invaded by tho water from tho melting snow and ice above it ; the dead bodies of two com panions stretched on the ice foot that remained j the wretched apology for o"okiog utensils improvised by them in their soro distress, hardly deserving the man : the scattered and worn out clothes and sleeping bags of tho dead ; the absence of all food, save a few cups full of boiled sealskin ser.ips -, the wild aud weird scene of snow, ice, Vnd glaciers overlooking a n d and overhanging this desolate camp, complete a picture as startling is ii was lnipiossive. 1 nope never again m my lite to look upon such wretchedness and such destitution. 1 he return voyage Schlev describes us beet with the gravest porik He speaks in the highest terms of tho other officers concerned in the expedi tion and of the treatment accorded the pirty by the natives. He is especially coniial in lus commendation of Lieu tenant Emory, the commander of the liear, aud in his expressions of mall- Hubs for the liberal appropiiatioii by the government and for the activity of tho War and Navy Departments in aiding th" expedition. The cost was S7.)0,000, which Commodore Schley says will be greatly reduced by the money realized from tho sale of inn re lief ships purchased for this expedi tion. Tilts New Orleans ISxiiuHltloii.

A Lyons silk-weaver some years ago set up a factory in Hackcnsack, New Jersey, and is now making- there a first-class silk which we are selling at $1 to $2 a yard, ac cording to weight ; less by 75 cents a yard than we can sell an equal Lyons silk for. We know nothing as to his resources, or his arrange ments for bringing his influ ence to bear on the American silk industry. We know only the silk lie is making : black cachemire that nobody can distinguish from the best Lyons silk. He cannot help disturbing every American maker. Such an example at our very doors is positive proof that American silks can take rank with the highest, in beauty as well as in strength. We do not propose to go into silk-making. It is quite -enough to know silk; and the silk manufacturers' chem istry is apt to make it hard to do that. Wejudgeamaker by his work. Here is a new black silk to be judged ; and it is so easy to judge it that you turn instinctively to judg ing the maker and congratu lating the country so fortu nate as to own him. The new silk has the lustre, the softness, the'pliable readi ness in drapery, of an old fashion Bonnet. In no re spect is it inferior in beauty (of surface or softness of fabric to the ancientsilk of the most famous maker of Lyons, How will it wear? We agree to replace any piece that cracks in three months. The incentive to buy it is the 75 cents a yard. An equal French silk costs thatamount -lore. We fill a large window on Chestnut street with the new silk to-day, and give the maker the advantage of his trade-mark brand, "Regattaj" his designation, "American Cachemire;" and his firm name R, & H. Simon. The occasion is a most in teresting one to every buyer of black silk. Lupin's merino stands as higli in all the markets of the Avorld as Lupin's cashmfire; but for some reason 'un known to us nobody else in Philadelphia keeps a general assortment of it There is no wholesale slock of it in the U. S. to draw from ; and obody can get it without order from Paris, But that is no reason, Merino is wanted ; Lupin's of course. T,he only reason we can see ECNABE for "ot keeping nieniio i, th;. . viies who waul i v i I generally take c V,, v. That's a very kid r tile reason, in our op: You want a merino . or wrap, or baby cloak. cU ask a merchant for it. He probably hasn't any ; he may have two or t!in:r two-year-old colors, or blark, too fine or too coarse; not a mer chant in the ci'y !i;ir, twenty colors and roV' : qualities not one but .' 'i'.amaker. No oth.' ' , use in the country piu :s anything like so many cu.ors and quali ties and makes of cashmere. We sell more of evening colors alone than some of the largest houses sell of all ; . more of the costlier qualities than almost any other house of coarse and line together; more of Lupin's, doubtless, than anybody else of all the makes But this wouldn't ' north the saying, if the -.on were not worth your knowing, loo. Wc h nil ihe colors in use, ;' ie qualities, and several i.ii;es. The reason for having so many is that people have ccme to expect them here; they all want Lupin's; but thoy are better satisfied with what they get if they see others. There'd be no loss to buyers, if we kept only Lupin's cashmeres and meri nos, and no others ; but peo ple wouldn't continue to be satisfied with Lupin's even, without con-'Mlycomparing with other- U nd the only way other n.-Uu; can be sold at all is by putting them s trifle under Lupin's price. It is not superfluous to keep them. We sell possibly a tenth as much merino as cashmere. It costs a trifle more and looks exactly 'the same ; but it is heavier, wears longer, can be turned wrong side out and made over. It is two dresses in one. Per haps ladies are not generally good enough economists to buy two dresses in one. -Jjashmere we're speaking of all-wool cashmere, of course costs 50 cents to $1.25 a yard ; merino, 60 to 1.35. -The colors and quali ties of cashmere are too long a list to think of; of merino not so many, but nil the uses are provided for. And this is ab-jt.; the whole story of all-wool cashmere and merino here ; and here is the better part of the cash mere and merino world at oiv: counter. John Wanamaker.
