NEW ORLEAs. Oct

New ORLEAs Oct 5.
The butchery of Republicans at Ope-
lousas was begun by three rebel Demo
Gratis, who had undertaken to chastise
Mr.. Bentley, editor OF the st. Landry
Progress, in presen 20 of the school
which he teaches. A number of Mr..
Bentley's friends assembled and were
about to interfere, but he advised them
to go home, saying that he would sue
out a warrant for the arrest of the often
ders. Accordingly Mr. Bentley's friends
went away, feeling that he was purs,-
ing the wiser course. Mr.. B. applied
for warrant and it was granted, but
before the officer attempted to execute
it force of armed Democrats took
possession of the town, and sallying
forth began the work of slaughter, fir
ing upon and killing every known Re-
publican that they encountered. The
New Orleans Bulletin, Democratic
newspaper, says this morning that one
hundred negroes were killed and fifty
wounded, and that but four Democrats
were wounded and none killed. The
maddened mob, after rioting in the
streets, entered the office of the Pro-
gress and threw its types and presses
into the street. They then drove its
French editor, Mr.. Durand, into the
woods and lynched him. The foreman
of the Office was ordered to quit the
town, and to save his life he came to
New Orleans yesterday He says that
it is the design of the rebels to drive
away or kill every outspoken Republic
can in the Opelousas district. The Pro-
gress was established by Mr.. Vidal,
member of the present Congress. Re-
publicans are flying from st. Landry S
Parish, fearing assassination if they
attempt to dwell there another day.
The New Orleans Crescent says that
Radicalism is done for in st. Landry
Parish, at least for this Presidential
election. ..

POLICE MATTERS. Ellen Cragan was
arrested last evening, and g toted' to
the lookup. A nights rest had the eff
feet OF bringing her to a sense OF hen
condition although the spectacle she
presented was a shameful one-hel
bleared eyes and Redeemed face betoken-
ing the fearful influences of strong
drink. She was committed to the ten
der mercies of the iailor for four days.
She will here have ample time to medi-
tate on the immutability of human life.
John. Barnes, aged 81 years, was
wheeled to the lookup last evening.
This morning he felt very much ashamed
of himself, and avowed his penitence
for transgressing the majesty of the
law. Having some loose stamps about
his " old clothes" he paid the costs of
arrest, and went on his way rejoicing
we trust a better man.
Mary Kelley, aged 33, for drunkenness,
was reprimanded and discharged.
Jacob Klauss and Morris Haring
were arrested this morning, charged
with having entered the barn of Mr..
Jonathan Jewett, at Linden, and
taken therefrom horse valued at $400.
After an examination before Police JUS
tice Furman, they were committed, in
default of bail, to answer at court.

skirt looped up at the sides withrosettes
and Bachlirk mantle or Colleen Bawn
cape-the latter caught up with Il r. :
settle at the back, the former drawn up
upon the shoulder and shaped at tle
back like hood formed by fold OF
the material The colleen Bawn, to
our thinking, is the prettiest and most
appropriate.
The cloth snits in preparation are
usually made with double-breasted Pc
lisses or paletots, and are often fur
nished with broad black military sash
with fringed ends. The trimmings
upon the high colors, purple, garnet,
mulberry, and claret, are uniformly
BLACK. Red and black, reddish brown,
and red OF every conceivable shade, es-
pecially the rich dark ones, are the
highest vogue. ~
Winter cloaks are not. of course, on
exhibition yet, but ladies who wish to
know what the style will be are informed
that one of the best and most comfort
able designs will be tight or half fit
ting according to task gored coat, n
paletot with cape, either pelerine or
round If ronnd, caught up at the back
or upon the shoulders with rosette
(the latter style is youthful but too fam
ciful for sober people,. and double
breasted. The waist is inclosed with q
belt and rosette.
This is very warm and suitable de-
sign for country wear, is adapted 10 the
narrow fur collars or short bows that
will be worn, and is stylish and becom-
ing, as well as neat and lady-like. In
dependent cloaks, that is to say those
not made or worn en- suite, should be
composed of black. plain, or tricot
cloth, as this can be worn with all sorts
and colors of dresses. High bodies for
home wear will be very generally
crossed over upon the breast, the sleeves
cut a more rigid coat shape than for
merly. and finished with single or
double puff at the top caps also, and
small divided caps rounded in the Gen.
tire over full puff will be worn.
Skirts are still gored, made full be-
hind and plain in front Short skirts
are very fashionably finished with a
Marie Arithmetic founce six inches deep
and headed with ruche or pleating
left on the founce. These are suitable
for fall alpacas and serges, but not for.
cloth suits.
New autumn gloves are imported in.
the very highest and most striking col
ors-marigold, sultan red, rich shade of
tan, and red brown, mulberry, claret
and purple plumb color. The back of
Stewards gloves, which are exclusive to
this honse, are ornamented with eight
small gold studs, crimped cord and tas-
sells. The wrists are also festooned
with small movable studs, which can be
taken out and new gold chain with
studs attached, worn OH ceremonious
occasions.
Handsome bows of satin striped rib
bon, fringed out upon its ends, Byzan-
tine scarfs tied in wide bow knot, and
also fringed out, are worn at the throat,
and give the touch of autumn color,
crimson or scarlet and gold which the
black or neutral tinted costumes de
