Of hostility.
During their Independent control OF
the Superior Council of the colony,
which lasted from October, 1858, to Au-
gust, 1859, they were thus unable to
secure the support of the colonists
themselves as against France, while
Aubry as the French governor, unable
on their account to exercise his au-
thority, maintained himself as the rep
resentative of France and of the as
pirations of the people for reunion with
France, while awaiting for the arrival
Of the Spanish fleet to surrender them
to Spain.
The "intendant commissary" Of the
colony. Foucault, who as a member Of
the Superior Council, had been active
in the first stages of the revolution,
now deserted Lafreniere and co-operat-
ed with Aubry against the revolution
lists who. he declared, had no legal au-
thority to expel the Spanish governor.
The first mission sent by the colonists
to France with Jean Milhet as envoy
having failed, a second was sent after
the expulsion of Ulloa, but the Duke
of Choiseul, prime minister of France,
received at about the same time Au-
bry's dispa atches denouncing Lafreniere
and his associates as rebels and revo-
lutionists. All the comfort the MAJOR
ity of the people of the colony received
from the appeal to France, was a re-
iteration of the unalterable determine
tion of the French court to turn over
the colony to Spain.
The colonists were thus greatly dis
couraged and as the republican propa-
ganda had not been ventured on in ap-
pealing to them at the beginning, they
began to grow despairing and apathetic.
Lafreniere, Marquis and the leaders Of
the revolution, now began to do every
thing possible to establish the republic
of Louisiana before the arrival of the
Spanish fleet. They sent ENJOYS to Sc
cure English support and busted them
selves with drawing up plans for a re-
publican government. Finding Aubry
not to be shaken from his determina-
tion to carry out the orders Of the
King of France, they proposed to ex-
pei him. but they seem to have been
unable to muster support in any move
ment which required the cooperation
of the colonists against France as we'll
as against Spain.

New Orleans a free port and to form a
republic where the oppressed and needy
among all nations Of the earth would
find refuge and q home. The chief OF
the republic was to be styled "Protec-
tor" and to be assisted by council Of
forty men, elected by the people either
for life or for certain number of
years. A bank on the plan of Amster-
dam or of Venice was to be created to
furnish the commonwealth with the
currency of which 1t would stand in.
need. The Swiss captain, Marquis. had
originated this plan of a republic and
he openly and violently recommended
It's adoption--so much so that 1t became
a subject of discussion, for and against,
in printed and in manuscript docu->
ments which were circulated through
out the colony and some OF which are
really of curious character. If: the
plan of Marquis could have been exc
cuted, 1t is probable that -Lafreniere
would have been the Cromwell OF
Louisiana. There Is no doubt but that
the colonists would have eagerly adopt
ed this form Of government, had 1t been
possible at the time; for 1t must be
recollected that from the earliest exist
ence of the colony, almost all its gov
ernors had uniformly complained of the
republican spirit which they had OBJ
served in it's inhabitants. But the col
onists on maturer consideration be-
came convinced that France. Spain and
England for reasons too obvious to be
enumerated, would never permit their
rebellion to terminate successfully irs
the establishment of a republic In
Louisiana. They therefore abandoned
the idea as Quixotic, but they never
theless bequeathed to their posterity
the right of claiming for Louisiana the
merit Of having been the first European
colony that entertained the design OF
proclaiming her independence. The
stoutest hearts and the noblest minds,
however, can not achieve impossible
ties.
While their leaders were preparing a
republican constitution and circulating
republican documents, the colonists
continued to be alarmed and depressed
by reports of the overwhelming nature
Of the preparations made by Spain to
suppress the revolt. When the Span
ish fleet and army, commanded by
Count O'Rellly with the authority of
viceroy, appeared at the mouth Of the
Mississippi, it was already apparent to
the leaders of the revolution that its
success was hopeless. but nevertheless
they determined to make a final effort
to rouse the colonists to resistance.

Charles III of Spain, who had been in

1869, crushed out the revolution, which
had begun so auspiciously with the ex-
pulsion of Ulloa in October. 1853. The
usual Spanish fusilade followed as a
matter Of course.
The situation in which Lafreniere
and his associates in the conspiracy
found themselves after they had occu-
pied New Orleans with the insurgent
forces and had driven out UllOa, was
full of unexpected difficulties. AS the
attorney general of the King Of France
and senior member of the Superior
Council, Lafreniere had appealed to
the loyalty Of the French creoles Of
Louisiana in favor of French re-Occu-
puation as against Spain. The idea of
establishing the colony as an independ-
ent republic, was confined at first to
the inner circle Of the conspiracy, and
although 1t was we'll enough known to
form the principal topic of Count Ar
anda's argument in the Spanish cabi-
net, the revolutionists in New Orleans
were never able to find time after
the expulsion of the Spanish governor,
when they could proclaim the republic,
with confidence that it would be sup
ported not only against Spain, but also
against the King of France, who was
determined to give Spain possession.
The revolution had succeeded largely
through appeals made to French loyal
ty, and Aubry, the Spanish governor
who remained in control of the French
troops in the colony was determined

in the Superior Council of the colony as
rebels and traitors. He sympathized
with them as Frenchmen, and at the

GAVE UP AFTER
 THIRTEEN YEARS
NEGRO WHO KILLED MAN IN DAL- LAS COMES BACK AND AM NoUNcES HIMSELF READY FOR TRIAL-HAs MADE MONEY.

Selma. December 22.-(Special.) )-Indict- ed thirteen years ago by Dallas county grand jury, Neal Bradley, after living all that time in a sister state, came back home yesterday and gave himself up to Sheriff Blackwell. The negro had worked hard and prospered, saving up his money until he had amassed sufficient amount to procure legal assistance in clearing from his name the stigma of crime.
 In 1897 Bradley and a negro by the name of Reuben Jones had difficulty in the big road leading to Cahaba. Jones, it is averred, approached Bradley with knife and the latter shot him in self-defense He made his escape after the killing and with his family has been living in Geor- gia. He has moved his family back to his old home and Is in jail awaiting the decision of Judge Mabry on a writ of habeas corpus which has been sworn out asking for bail to be fixed.
 Chief Walters and Officers Philen and Holt have succeeded in capturing Wilson Ross the ringleader of the successful es- cape from the city lookup by which eight prisoners gained their liberty last Wednesday night Ross was found in bed asleep and was easily made the prfs- oner of the officers.

BLUE FOXES IN ALASKA.
On shumagin Island a Miner Has In.
 troduced a Profitable Industry,
From the seattle Post.Intellleencer

From the Seattle Post t-Intelligencer.
 Capt. O. w. Carlson, well known mining man of the Nome district who is also engaged in raising blue foxes on Shumagin Island. arrived in the city a few days ago. He Is on his way south to San Francisco, where he will spend the winter, and in the spring he will return to Seattle and sail for the north.
 Seven years ago Captain Carlson con- ceived the idea that there would be money in raising the blue fox for his fur, so se- cured several pairs and turned them loose on the island Since that time he has made no effort to count them, and has taken very few of their skins This winter, however. he has arranged for the taking of a number of skins, which he will ship to England to be treated, and they will then be placed on the market. Blue fox skins, he says, are worth all the way from 8 to S60 each according to their qualit,-, just the same as with other fur skins They have been quite prolific since they were put on Shumagin Island.
 There are not many blue foxes in Alas ka. In some parts they are hunted for their skins but not enough to keep them down, if they were healthy. What skins are taken are valuable, and find a ready sale. This winter Captain Carlson in- tends to take a number of hides, which will be the first of any amount since starting the enterprise.

STUFFED ANIMALS FOR RENT.
Father HeaIy Preached Yesterda,
 Time to Add to Display.

From the New York Times.
 The trade in stuffed animals is getting brisker with the approach of the holiday season. T don't mean by that" said a William street taxidermist, that we are selling more of them. We are not. We never do sell stuffed beasts in heards at this time of the year. but our renting list swels prodigiously. People whose busi- ness requires them to use stuffed animals and birds as an advertisement generally want an extra duck or dog or bear added to their stock for month or two preced- ing and following Christmas. A trade mark of this kind, of good quality, costs anywhere from $5 to T5, and as those that are used merely as 'supers' are needed only a few months in the year, 1t is cheaper to rent them than to buy them outright. Almost every merchant in town, of high or low degree, makes an extra splurge at this season by exhibiting a polar bear or some other festive animal consequently our rental amounts to a rather nice income. Some seasons we do a pretty thriving business with theatrical companies also, but this year the drama seems to have become too realistic to re- ly upon stuffed art for its effects. and our orders for property fowls and quad rupeds have been few.''

] Will Cure You of Rheumatism
Else No Money IS Wanted.

Any honest person who suffers from Rheumatism is welcome to this offer.
 I am a specialist in Rheumatism, and have treated more cases than any other physician, I think. For 16 years I made 2000 experiments with different drugs testing all known remedies while search ing the world for something better Nine years ago I found a costly chemical in Germany which, with my previous discov- cries. gives me a certain cure.
 I don't mean that 1t can turn bony joints into flesh again; but 1t can cure the disease at any stage, completely and for ever I have done 1t fully 100000 times
 I know this so well that l will furnish my remedy on trial Simply write me a postal for my book on Rheumatism, and will mail you an order on your drug gist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheu- matism Cure. Take 1t for a month at my risk. If 1t succeeds, the cost is only $5.5 50. If 1t fails, I will pay the druggist my self-and your mere word shall decide it.
 I mean that exactly. If you say the re- suits are not what I claim, don't expect a penny from you.
 I have no samples. Any mere sample that can affect chronic Rheumatism must be drugged to the verge of danger. I use no such drugs, and 1t is folly to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood
 My remedy does that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has curec the oldest cases that ever met. And in all my experience-in all my 2O0O tests I never found any other remedy that would cure one chronic case in ten
 Write me and will send you the order. Try my remedy for a month, as it can't harm you anyway. If 1t fails 1t is free.
