A duel was fought one day last
week in st. Martin parish, which
resulted in the death of one of the

other Ducrest, had difficulty at

A prominent State official has
received a letter from a Republi-
can member of the Legislature, in
which the latter asks advice as to

der the circumstances which he
sets forth. He has received an
anonymous letter promising him a
certain sum of money if he will 60
to Washington when Congress
meets and tell what he knows
about the settlement of the Louis

what to do in the premises, but
complains of the treatment he has
received at the hands Of the Con-
