HAVING no other means ofdiverson al hand
Gen, Butler amused the House Tuesday by
showing that the specials of certain New York
papers were made up largely Of lies. Gen.
Butler usually hits upon something novel to
present to the American people through the
Congressional reports, but this time he has
made helpless failure, No person of aver
age sense has entertained so utterly an absurd
idea as that the Bohemian specials of the New
York papers from Washington have any foun
dation in fact, and Gen. Butler must be ap-
preaching his second childhood when he
makes statement to this effect, with the air
of one who has made an unexpected discovery.

TEE Ni.LiNG OF c. 4. BREWER.

q. y. Brewer, formerly resident
of this county. was shot and killed
by Mr.. L. McClanahan, one of our
best and most p-aceable citizens, on
Monday morning last, at The resi-
dence of the latter, eleven miles
south OF this city.
Brewer married Mr.. McClana-
hans daughter two or three years
ago, aDd some time last year ac-
conplished the gu;n of younger
daughter, Il mere child in years
This caused Brewers wife to quit
him an,ireturn to her fathers house
These wrongs, so narrowing to Il
parents heart, wrought deeply on
/ Nc. MCClanahdn'5 mind, and lest
tie sight Of The destroyer might in
cite him to violence, he notified him
Lot TO come OH the premises of the
home he had made deSolatc. Not~
wlihstand,ng this, Brewer two or
three times went into Mr.. McClana-
hams yard, but the injured father
forebore TO avenge his deep wrong,
and again entreated him 10 keep
away from his home.
On Monday morning last, MI Me
Clanaiian, while III the field. saw
Brewer OH his horse at The ward
gate. lie went 10 the house and
told BrtWe" to go away, warning
bin that he would kin him if he
went into the house. Brewer dis
mounted and Went into the ward.
NcCianahan went into the house
Hearing Brewer talking in an excl
ted, angry tone at the window OF "a
room III which Mrs. McCigI.ahan
and Mr.. Brewer were standing.
Mel iai;ahdu went out again, and
told him 10 go away. Brewer gave
an H. Sulting answer, an alteration
cnSued, and McCIauahan shot him.
! he shooting occurred about siy
o'clock. DIR. Lau,ilItm was called
in, aud found the woliua mortal.
Brewer died on Tuesday ut 6 q. IN.
MIR. McCiaualian SURRENDERED him
self TO Justice i}aSt. His preliini-
mary trial took place yesterday at

In his recent address announcing
himself as IA candidate for 60 or.SS
in the first district in louisiana. the
Honorable Charles GaNarre fur
nishes the following Renaissance OF
the late VIM. III. Seward. He
saws:
..In 1866 | had with Biz. Seward,
in WaShInStOn, u conversation on
the contemplated process of recon
Struction, and in expressing his
views on what he Thought should
be the course to be pursued by the
