Fatal ARRAY.

A difficulty occurred at j. {. Drcws
saloon in this place on Monday night III
which two parties were wounded and one
killed. Henry Hecker German carpen-
ter who has been at work here some time,
was killed BY 4. c. Jones. Tie received
three wounds The cause of the difficulty
seems To have been a hill which Hrckcr
owed Jones. After IIccker fell Jones j.
said to have fired several shots into par
" in the back part of the billiard room
PLAYING cards. One of these shots wounded
George Gill Jones was shot through the
shoulder and otcc through the arm. There
has been no investigation yet aud we can
give 10 positive facts. The following
seems to be the truth as near ~ we can
get: Jones aud Iieckcr were left alone in
the bar-room while Mr.. Ferguson, the
clerk, went into the billiard room with
drinks for the party playing cards. He
had Just reached the card table when a
shot was heard. He dropped the glasses
turned 10 cross into the bar-room aud saw
iitckcr come running through the door
between bar.room and billiard room, Jones
/ following him. licckcr ran partly across
/ the room and fell. Jones it is said then
turned and fred four or five shots into the
card party.
! The above is the statement current "I
! thc strcpts A iuiicial investigation NAV
reveal a different statement of facts. The
deceased Ifrckcr, was quiet, inoftrnSiY'
German, by no means quarrel-ome ever
when drinking. The community are deep
IL outraged The frequency of such Attain
fcr some months past has given our pari~'
n bad reputation. The public demand
speedy punishment of the wrong door

The Last Day Of NE Legislature.

We make the following extract from the
proceedings of the Legislature as published
in the New Orleans Democrat OF the 10th
inst:
AT this juncture the hilarity of the
House had reached point scarcely reached
during the session. With touching and
chiid-fke piayfuiuess the most dignitied
members engaged in mimic warfare and
began to pelt each other with paper balls,
and otherwise aisport themselves la a man
ner peculiarly consistent with the dignity
Of Louisiana legislation
The hilarity Of the dignified legislators is
touching. The pen picture of the reporter
of the Democrat brings before our magma
ton in vivid reality the pandemonium.
We imagine that We see our portly friend
Col. Duke tossing paper balls school-boy
fashion with the slender aud graceful War
moth: Gen. Young and Michael Hahn
wrestling in amicable playfulness; Leonard
and Jonas fraternizing amid the storm Of
missiles. and Brice. of Bienville, capering
TO the lascvious blessings Of ali imaginary
! lntt. Inc 1nn grows Ilsl anu IuTious'
Jolly madness rules the hour. No cessa-
| ton of frolic when a communication was
received from the Superintendent of public
education that il the bill passed by the
senate ia relation 10 the Department of
Education was not passed, the parishes of
St. Landry aud Claiborne would suffer Sc
rious injustice. This bill so important to
two parishes is indefinitely postponed aud
the paper balls are passed through the air
and the fun goes on. What matters the
interests Of Claiborne or st. Landry: The
wise men must relax tue brain tension
The legislative show ia over, the curtain
falls never again 10 rise upon the principal
actors.
