THE BRENNAN AFFArR.-The New Orleans Times,
of the ID has the following in relation to Gen Sheri
dams visit to Brcnham, Texas:
1t has already been stated in the Times that genera
Sheridan during his recent absence from New Orleans
visited Brenham Texas for the purpose OF inveStlga-
ting personally the destruction of part Of that town
by incendiarism-an outrage charged upon United
States soldiers campcd in the outskirts of the town
From such information have been able to
gather regarding this official visit, are led to be-
believe that general Shcridaa's interview with the
leading citizens of the place pleasant one, con
sderinr the unpleasant nature of his business also
that the following points about decided upon I'M
officially as facts The original cause of disturbance
is not satisfactorily determined as yet but there is no
doubt that during the fracaS two soldiers wound
ed one severely and the other slightly that later in
the night a number of men burned the business part
of the town. and that these men were soldiers; that
Capt Smith, commanding the post, had nothing what
ever to do with the natter and that the entire affair
required rigid investigation than bad previously
been given it.
Gen Sheridan, to accomplish this purpose appon-
ted an investigating committee, and took all other
measures in bis power have justice dealt out to the
offenders if they can be found. 1t may be a hard
matter to discover the perpetrators of the outrage for
the soldiers without distinction, excluded from the
sympathy of the people, and thus rendered so clan
nish that they will not betray each other Nine deser
tons too have taken place from the company within
the past ten days and it is possible the offenders
among the number. Every exertion will be made,
however, we feel confident to discover and punish the
scoundrels.
Gov. Tbrockmorton, we learn, telegraphed for Gen.
Sheridan to investigate the matter but the latter had
started on his mission before the message came to
hand.

THE DREYFus SwlNDLE.-The New Orleans Cres-
cent of the 2Sth ut, has the following in reference
to the Dreyfus swndIing case;
We have already noticed a complaint lodged before
recorder Ahern against N. Dreyfus, of Shreveport OF
obtaining dry goods of the value Of twenty-six hun
dred dollars from the house OF Adler Levy, No. l64
Canal street and that he was under bonds in the sum
of five thousand dollars to appear for examination
We find that a similar charge against Mr.. Dreyf1s has
been made before recorder Gdstine, and viii be eX-
amined tomorrow and the accused, IN this case also
has furnished five thousand dollars bail for his ap-
pearauce The report the streets is that Mr. Drey
fus has purchased goods the amount of about
enty thousand dollars from various merchants in the
citv upon the representations alleged in the prOsecu
ton instituted against him The documents III the
Offices of the magistrates do describe, specifically
the manner in which the alleged frauds were perpetTa-
ted but in private conversation learn from parties
interested that it will be attempted to be shown that
Mr. Dreyfus who is and has been for years in business
in Shreveport represented in making his purchases
which were all credit that the goods were intended
to be retaed in his establishment at Shreveport bHt
instead of shipping them to that Point he had them
auctiOncd in this city Or disposed OF otherwise ana
Immediately realised upon them, which is deemed by
the merchants considering themselves aggreved, evil
dence Of intended fraud
In the case before recorder Gastine the complainant
is Mr. Joseph McElroy OF the house of Taylor Nc
Elroy & Co No IS Canal street. Mr.. McIEroy ayers
that the accused on the 18th inst, purchased from
the firm ready-made gentlemen's clothing, to the
amount of upwards of four thousand dollars and that
he obtained the goods upon credit, by falsely repre-
senting that he intended selling them in the usual
course of trade, from his house, in Shreveport and
that he had banking account with the banking house
| of Pike, Lapeyre & Brother of this city. Mr. Nc
Eroy further arms that but for these representations
having been believed by his frn the goods would not
have been sold to Mr. Dreyfus on,credt that instead
of shipping the goods to Shreveport, he disposed of
them candestuely in the city" and that he had 90
account whatever with the banking house of Pike,
