cure such diseases, restoring the patient to per-
foct health, after trying different physicians,

elusive proof, if your are a sufferer. you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? It works in the blood IN the CIR.
culating fluid. It can truly be called the Great
BLOOD Purifier. The great source of disease orl-
ginates in tho blood and no medicine that does
not act directly upon it. to purify and ronoVato,

NEW ORLEANS, June THE Democrats
special from Bayou Sara says that on Sunday
night last DIR. VIM. b. Archer was returning
to his home from Major Burton's, about ten
O'Clock. when he was fired on by six negro
men, who were lying in the bushes waiting
for him. Five of the negroes had double
barreled guns and one a musket. DR.. Archer
was on horseback, and riding on the top of
the levee. The assassns were concealed
behind two very large cottonwood
trees standing within few feet of the levee,
and all of the negroes fired as the doctor was
passing these trees, his clothes being rid
died with bullet holes, and he was thrown
from his horse, but fortunately he was not
much Injured. The assassins took to their
heels, running in different directions, but 1t
was ascertalned who the parties were who
had attempted the foul act, and on Tuesday
morning last a large number of citizens
collected together at Racourci, where the
act was committed. a jury of twelve of our

thorough examination, found the prisoners,
five In number-one having made his escape
guilty of shooting at DIR. w. r. Archer
with intent to kill. Many witnesses were ex-
amlned, all colored, and two of the prisoners
were allowed to make statements, having
requested permission to do so. They stated
that they had intended to kill DIR. Archer at
ten o'clock on Sunday night, and, after
making away with him, they were to kill Mr..
y. Leleune, Mr.. w. Requet and Mr.. Frank
Burton. They stated also that they belonged
to an organized club, whose object was to
kill the leading white men of the country, and
establish nation of their own. They gave
the names of many of their members, the
names of their president and vice president,
and general expose of their plans After
the examination closed the prisoners were
conducted to a shady grove by all of the citi-
liberation, it was resolved to turn
them over to the law. The prisoners
were placed In charge of party and started
in the direction of the courthouse, but had
not proceeded far before they were inter-
rupted, taken by force, and all five of them
hung.
