A DUEL was fought at Mete-

RE Ridge, in New Orleans, on
the 9th ult., between Messrs.
HI. Hearsey, ofthe n. O. States
and e. A. Burke, of the n. Q.
Democrat. Maj. Hearsey was
the challenging party. Two
shots were exchanged without
any casualty. The weapons
used were the ordinary smooth
bore dueling pistols and the
distance Was ten PAGES. Both
gentlemen bore themselves
bravely and honorably. The
duel grew out of Il discussion
relative to the city printing, a
contract for which had been
awarded to the Democrat. The
States drew the attention Of the
public to an article in the char
ter Of the city Ct New Orleans
prohibiting the council from
awarding toany member there
OF contracts for city work. The
proceedings of the session ofthe
council held on the DIST Of Jan
uary recorded the award of the
contract to the Democrat, of
which Mr.. j. .. Houston is in
part a proprietor. This act, in
itself, was a violation of the
city charter. But Mr.. Houston,
at that ii. le Administrator OF
improvements, voted to award
the contract to his ovn paper.
Tie States referred to this viola
ton the Democrat replied in Il
violent personal article, making
also Every himsy apology for
the action of the council. Iuaj.
Hearsey challenged Maj. Burke
who assumed responsibility for
the offensive article, notwith-
standing the fact that Houston
was the author. The ,fnaie OF
this affair, a number Of persons
insist, has settlednothing. We
think differently; the honor Of
Maj. Hearsey is slstained-Mr.
Burke having admitted that his
antagonist is 4 ''braveand hon
orable man. Many men have
died to secure this admission and
we honor the code that demands
such satisfaction.

OUR NEXT REPRE- ElTATIVE


BY reference to our advertise

PURSUANT. to instructions from
the Governor, OH Thursday, the
10Th inst, an election will be
held in this Parish, to choose
a member to fill the vacancy, in
the House Of Representatives,
caused by the sad demise Of Dr..

The duty of nominating a
candidate, we are infor ned, de
wolves upon the Democratic En-
ecutiye Committee. With Il
majority Of the Committee no
doubt exists Us to the man best
qualified to continue the labors
Of the able gentleman so sud

tieman is none other than Judge
TIIOS. BUTLER. With all due
respect for the many other tai

we unheSitutinGly pronounce
Jud &c Butler the best Qualified
to fill the position, for two sim
pie reasons: LIST, he is un able
lawNer-9ood lawycrsar need
ed in the present Legislature to
interpret the new constitution
and frame laws under it. I'd,
Judge Butler is q farmer, and
thoroug ~ coGniZalt OF tie
wants of the agricultural mass
es.
He will undoubtedly be the
unanimous choice of the Com
mittee, notWith $ a II d II g his
we'll known Discrimination to ac-
cept the position, and we feel
that he viii, III obedience to th"
desire OF the people of his Par
ish, assume the responsibility of
the trust which they are SO will
ing to place in his keeping.

THE GRANT BOOM.
Cussing and Disc using.
cial To The K epister

WASHINGTON, February 5.
The excitement and interest which
prevailed among Grant men last
night and among Pennsylvanians gen
orally, has not subsidized to-day, and
the battle is being fought over again.
| was surprised to meet two Penn
sylvania Republicans who said that
if the strength of the anti Cameron
party had been known and organized,
different result would have been
reached. Said each one Of them
The State will cast it's vote for
Grant at Chicago, and last fall gave
10000 Republican majority; but, un-
less there is a change in the feeling
of large class of Republicans, Grant
will lose the State next fall if nomi-
mated" "More than that" said one
of them, II predict that Don Gamer
on will not be elected again to the
Senate" l informed him with a
smile that that was too far off to be
discussed now. He contended, he
said, anyhow, that the Camerons
have been badly wounded in the con
test just over, and that it only needs
leaders, organization and fight to
defeat them thoroughly. Senator
Blaine did not make spirited fight.
Ii he and Grant had been the sole
competing candidates, his forces
would have been put upon an aggres-
sive war footing. AS it was, they
did not seem, from a Democratic
standpoint, to fight much more earn
estly than Chinese troops do when
clad in quilted petticoats and armed
with paper helmets. To-day Names
favorite son does not seem IN high
state Of exultation, but he is less
restless and nervous than he was yes
terday. John Sherman made, as
have before intimated, no demonstra-
ton in regard to Pennsylvania, and
has seemed to ignore its very exis-
tence as a State with big electoral
vote. His talk with his friends. how
ever, shows that he is making a cam
paign in other States, in which he
has as much faith as he had in the
success of resumption.
