| The Sons OF LOUISIANA turned out yesterday, to
pay funeral honors to OF their brethren, Mr.. P. A.
Cabirau, who died the day before. The procession
was large, and the funeral ceremonies imposing and
| impressive. He was much esteemed member OF the
Association, and having been we'll attended to dur
ing his last illness, was properly honored In death.
THE CHIEF OF POLICE, committed to prison on
Thursday by Recorder Wiltz, for contempt, he par
ticulars Of which we reported yesterday was re.
leased at midnight. He did not desire the release,
it being bis intention to test the legality Of his
mitment before higher tribunal than that Of Re.
corder Wiltz but the release being cent, he would
have been his prisoner, and nobody elses il he
had remained. We learn that it is his intention to
have the issue in regard to jurisdiction, brought up
and deinitively settled, before one Of the proper
tribunals.
An efigy OF Recorder Witz was found hanging
to tree in the Place d'Ames yesterday morning.
This could not have been more offensive to the Re-
corder than it was disagreeable to the Chief, who
very properly disapproved of any demonstration Of
Indignation in his behalf; be being, under the Re-
corders displeasure and unjust punishment the same
cool and quiet of sense, the same dignifed Off.
Ger and head of the police, as when dscharging the
duty to which the Recorder took his infatuated ex-
ception. Those who suspect that the Chief for
moment sanctioned this proceeding, or that of firing
an artillery salute when he was committed, will do
him rank injustice.
At the same time, we stand up for the men who
fired the salute. They did perfectly right As to
the hanging Of the effgy, whilst we admit that it was
improper we are still of the opinion that if it
hanging offense, it was parish prison or peniten
tiary ofense. Things like these we cannot excuse ;
but they perfectly NATURAL when the public sent
ment feels itself outraged.
A FATAL DUEL took place at o'clock yesterday
afternoon, in field Carrolton, Rickerville,
between the railroad and the river. The parties were
Mr. Emile Hiriart musical and operate critic of the
Daily Delta newspaper and Mr. E. Locquet, cotton
buyer Of Carondelet street.
!. On Sunday last, Mr. Hiriart's article in the Delta
wound up with some stingng controversial remarks
= = which drew forth challenge from Mr.. L. Placide
Canonge the operatc critic of the Louisiana Courier
: At the time, Mr.. Hiriart received challenge
. from Mr.. Locquet whether from that genteman'f
y we are not well enough informed to state. few
days since, the challenged party and Mr.. Canonge
! had their meeting at the Metarie ridge. They ex-
changed three shots with pistols, without harm on
either side, though Mr.. Canonges clothes per.
= forated.
Yesterday afternoon, above stated, Mr.. Hiriart
!. had his meeting with Mr.. Locquet. The weapons
, :, were doublebarrel shot guns loaded with muske
balls the distance forty PAGES. At the first fire Mr.
!. Locquet fell mortaiy wounded, and expired withou
~ breathing word; his adversarys ball having passe
entirely through his body from his left side to hi
right. Mr.. Locquet's bullet struck the ground, an
glancng up struck Mr.. Hriart in the breast, stur

vi skin was not broken, but the blow raised larg
- lump.
