Another

By reference to our Havana news, published
in another column, it will be perceived that the
U. S. Mail steamer FL Dorado, from Aspinwali
bound 10 Havana, was fired into of Cape San
Antonio, on the night of the 9th inst.
We think that it is about time that these re-
peated acts of firing into Dur national ships
should cease. For some years past, under
specious pretexts and frequently for the pur-
pose OF satisfying a spirit of petty malice, our
mail steamers have been subjected to rigorous
exactions and compelled to submit to most
humiliating measures by the officials of the
Spanish Government in Cuba. We repea,, it
is high time that this state of affairs should
cease. Patience has bounds and national hon.
or imperative commands. As long as our
Government neglects 10 demand indemnity for
the past and security for the future, SO long
vii! these C~astilian miscreants continue in their
open and continued defiance of national law
and comfy. The interests of our commercial
community and Of our merchanSmarine require
a rigid endorsements of our rights. We know
no better argument or the matter than that
of a few American battle ships in Cuban wa.
tiers. Instead of cruizing abou. our Gulf for
the purpose of intercepting a flibustering exs
petition, which exist only in the fevered brain
of some writers OF imagination, our squadron
would do better to attend to the rights Of Anne.

Fatal Affray-Two MEN Killed.

There was an ARRAY about 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, on the corner Of st. Charles and
Gravier streets, which resulted in the shooting
Of W men. 1t is difficult as vet to get at the
precise circumstance of the ARRAY, but the fol-
lowing account comes from the best sources
we could get at:
About three years ago, a. most of our read.
ers will recollect. a most horrid murder was
committed in Theatre Alley, for which several
men were arrested. The two principals in the
affair were named Thomas Cunningham and
John Duffy. The first by some means, not
now recollected, was released on bail and fed
the country. Duffy remained in prison, was
examined and discharged. One Of the princi-
pal witnesses against Duffy was a young mar
named w. G. Harrison, and since that time
there has been bad feeling between the two.
On Monday they met at the Pacific coffee
house, on Grayier street, and some bad words
passed between them, Duffy, it is said, using
threatening language, with a pistol in his hand.
Yesterday they met on st. Charles street, and
the quarrel was renewed, when Harrison drew
q revolver and fired at Duffy. who fed into the
entry.way Of the st. Charles Hotel, Leading
from Gfavier street to the bar room. Here
one or two shots were fred. and Duffy turned
into the billiard room, ran round two or three
tables and out again by the same door, closely
pursued by Harrison, who fred twice more.
Duffy staggered through the cigar store into
the street, where he fell and died in q few
minutes. ss1@
The only witness who testified before the
Coroner's jury was q Nj. Carlyle, who stated
that while in the billiard room, Duffy, finding
bis pursuer coming pretty close, threw his piss
tol over his shoulder and fired wit bout taking
aim or turning round, the ball striking a young
man who was sitting in company with two
Other gentlemen, looking at . game Of billiards.
This young man was d.. Horatio Parsons,
aged about twsnty.four years, . native Of
Texas, who had graduated but Z day or two
aimee in our University, and who was recent.
" married. The ball struck him in the right
breast, infieting Z wound from which hs died
almost instantly.
Other aecounts state that Parsons was kill
"a BY . shot from Harrison, frsd at DafEy.
