the money she will give it to you" Parker's
friend wished him to leave the house, and Seuzette
asked the woman to get the money, but she denied
having taken it, and went towards Parker, who
raised his pistol, cursed her, fired, and then ran
away The woman fingered a few minutes in

at the back door and climbed over the fence OF the
yard belonging to the house into an adjoining yard,

threw down the pistol. He then made his way
over two or three other fences into Circus street,
and was met on Poydras, near the corner of St.
Charles street. by Lieutenant Hughes and Sergeant
Moker, who, seeing him without his hat and shoes,
| suspected him of being concerned IN something
wrong. He was much agitaled and tried 10 avoid
the officers; and on their attempting to arrest him,
| he ran, but was soon caught. He tried to resist
| them, and fought for several minutes, but was
at length overpowered and taken to the Watch

pelted with stones and driven from house but
after he had been there, some five or six persons

| He is a man well known, and has been employed
upon the river as a pilot for some time He has
a wife and two children in Tennessee, and bears
| a very good character, and he was perfect
| stranger to Eliza Phillips, who was an English

| 1t was rumored yesterday evening that Seuzette
| struck Parker, and that he was going to use the
pistol to him, instead of the woman whom he shot
by accident, but no proof is given for this state
| ment.

The MI IcIPAL PRINTING. - The Delta is
quite distressed at the misfortune which has be-
fallen the Crescent, by of the propretors hav-
ing been elected printer. We beg leave to assure
our neighbor, that we were actuated by no sordid
motives in accepting the office. An enlarged phi
lanthrophy-an irresistible desire to spread far and
wide the proceedings of our Municipal Council
compelled us toengage in the work. But still, our
good sense of proprety has not permitted us to
indulge this feeling at the ruinous cost of $4,000
outlay for $4,000 receipts. The wear and tear of
conscience, we think, is an item in the contract
that the Delta cannot speak of with much author
ity--it never having, to our knowledge, dealt in
in the article and, consequently, it cannot be ex-
pected to understand the cost of this part of the
contract.
As to the legal qualifications of the printer, the
lucid arguments of the Delta long since convinced
us of our error, and have given in our adhesion
