DEATH OF THE WOUNDED MEXICAN.
What he Said About the Assaalk.
Who he. is and Where he Game FROM.

The name of the wounded man found in
house on Carondelet street. between
Julia and Girod, proves to be
Manuel Flores. He was born in Montersy
and has a1fatherl and mother, two sisters
and brother residing there. He came here
as cattle 'drover employed by anothdr
party. He stated in a period of conscious
ness that he was sitting doing in chair,
when he was struck by heavy wood club
or iron bar. He said he knew that a wo-
man was in the room, but did not recollect
any one else, nor could he give any idea
about who struck him. Flores died Thurs-
day evening between six and seven o'clock.
The wife of Bradley has also been arrested.
Bradley went to the Office of the Clerk of
the Charity Hospital Tuesday evening, and
inquired about the condition Of the wound
ed man. But it was not till after Bradley
pad gone that it was known who he was.
The fact that Flores had, as he stat
in the interval of consciousness alluded to,
SSl in greenbacks, and that when he was
found wounded and insensible by the DO.
lice there was only about S17 on his person,
leads to suspicion that robbery was the OBJ
ject of the deadly assault upon him.
1t was stated by the inmates OF the house
that the wounded man shot himself, but
his own statement and the nature of the
wound which was caused by blunt instru-
ment, disposes of that statement. The ab-
sence of Bradley from his house, where
Flores was found, and the agitation he ex-
hibited when he inquired at the Charity
Hospital clerks Office concerning the condi.
tion of the wounded man, are links in the
| chain of circumstantial evidence against
Bradley, not sufficient, probably, to convict
him of the homicide.
The death of Flores occurred lust at a
time when the police authorities had hoped
! he would be able TO make further disclo-
sures that would fasten the homicide upon
the guilty parties. =
| The coroner's inquest reveals nothing
more than we give in this report to the
readers of the REPUBLICAN,. Perhaps.
however, some evidence nay yet be secured
that will convict the guilty parties, whether
they are Bradley and his wife, who are both
in custody, or others. foul murder has
| been committed and as dead men tell no
tales, the murderer or murderers may never
be certainly knewn.

MURDER IN wINN PARISH.
Two Colored Men shot.
PENALTY FOR BEING REPUBLICANS,
BLOOD THIRarY WHITE MEN.

We copy the following narrative of ter.
rible outrage in Winn parish from the Red
River Netos. The aendish spirit actusting
the miserable wretches who murder colored
men because they are Republicans must be
crushed out if it requires the whole power
of the government of the United States to
do it. Every foot of territory in Louisiana
must be rendered safe for every peaceably
disposed man to live on.
Frazier's mill, situated a short distance
west of Montgomery, Winn parish, has been
made the theatre of another atrocious mur-
der. From all information which we can
gather concerning this outrage we publish
the following statement: 1t seems that on
Tuesday, the eighth instant, two white men
called at the mill, asked for Frazier, stating
they desired to purchase some lumber, say
ing they would return in four days. Two
days after, Thursday, the tenth, the same
parties returned between twelve and one
o'clock. At this time Hal Frazier was
hauling logs to saw. They met him on the
road, turned him back for the purpose of
purchasing the lumber they needed. Fra
zier showed them the lumber,
They next requested them to show them
the plan of house, as they desired the lum.
Der for the purpose of building them a
house. One of the men went into the mill I;
the other was in the lumber yard. The one
who was in the mill went out and whispered
to the other (Frazier), who was at this time
drawing plan of the house on the ground,
and was in the act of strengthening himself
when he was Immediately shot in the head
and instantly killed. Jessie Robinson, who
was with Frazier at this time, attempted to
run away, when the man who was in the
mill shot him in the back and head. Robin
son lived until between midnight Sunday
and daylight Monday morning. After per-
petrating this crime the men robbed Frazier,
taking from him all the money in his posses.
sion and also some notes which Frazier held
against parties. One of these notes, we are
informed, was presented to G. W. Kelly by
the murderers on the same night, who de-
manded its payment. Kelly informed them
that he had no money, when they told him
"to keep his d--n note.r
Both Frazier and Robinson were colored
men, the former being owner of the mill
known by his name. He was generally con-
sidered peaceable, energetic and liberal
minded.citizen of VIM parish. He offered
some time since to furnish lumber to build
the courthouse at Winfield. The only rea-
son at present assigned for this double mur-
der was because Brantley Frazier, a son of
the murdered man, taught colored school
in Winn parish, and both of these men were
well-known Republicans. At present we
comment no further in reference to this
diabolical and premeditated murder oi
peaceable citizens,

PATROLNAN KNOCKED DOWN AND SHOT.
CHRISTMAS EVE RoWDYIsM

About eleven o'clock Thursday evening
party of men, some ten in number were
making night hideous at the corner of La
fayette and Bolivar streets, probably under
the baneful influence of too much Christmas
Eve festivities, Patrolman John Donovan
went up to them for the purpose of induc-
ing them to become quiet, but instead Of
yielding to his solicitations they knocked him
down and then shot him. The ball entered
the top of his head on the right side and
lodged in his right jaw. The wounded man
was conveyed to the Charity Hospital.
Donovan's condition is critical, and the
wound is considered dangerous. None OF
the parties concerned in the assault on him
have yet been arrested, but the names are
known and justice will been done.

Correspondence OF the New fOrk Express
While upon the subject of extravaganza,
think l must here append few details
concerning an entertainment which took
place short time since in the salons of
leader of the demi monde of Paris. The in-
vitations were printed on white satin, the
enVelops were scented, the letters were
gilt, III short even this preliminary petu
billet gave token of what the magniticence
of the fete would be. A number of
these invitations, and as the COM
pany were to include the more cele-
brated and aristocratic members of
the Jockey Club, and the other leading
clubs of the city, as well as the foreigners
of distinction now in Paris, your CORE
spondent thought the occasion an admira-
| Bile one to see more closely those Aspasas
| for whom half the Jeltnesse Doree Of this
brilliant capital are "gone mad.n have at
| times been present IN imperial and royal
salons, when all was glitter and show, but
never beheld anything quite SO luxurious
as the apartments OF the giver of this demt-
monde fete. The cost must have been
something fabulous. There were present
old noblemen, wearing their insignia of
rank and station; young noblemen, in the
most irreproachAble get-ups. There were
notable literary and artistic people-in fact,
a fashionable male Paris graced the salons
OF the lady.
The fair sex was of a more questionable
order, but their display, their luxury, were
undoubtedly royal. One woman, who,
twenty years since, was leading member
of the same monde, appeared at this ball
not looking day older Ghan at the period
refer to. She were two hundred thousand
dollars worth of jewelry diamonds which
an Empress might envy; Opals such as none
| but royalty might possess. Her dress cost
| sixty thousand francisco the journals
informed the public the next day. Her
fan alone was worth fortune. She is of
| italian birth--a tall, dark eyed woman-a
decided brunette, not over handsome, and
with q harsh, coarse voice. She is ignorant,
save in vicious sense, has no accomplish,
ments, and yet, among her adorers, she
counts even princes. gazed at her with
every attention and concluded that it could
not be the woman which captivates the
men, but her luxury, her display of the fact
that she is Ia mode. There were others of
the same stamp there, all gorgeously attired,
all magnificent and queenlike, until when,
at supper, the wine once in, the wit went
| out, and the coarse, brutal, deprayed nature
became apparent. Then, the men who
were capable of judging were disgusted and
realized that all is not gold that glitters-
but truth compels me to state that, as gem
eral thing, the men were as ''sprung'' as the
women and that hence the empire of the
latter was less endangered.
