Shooting Annir at Houston.

A special from Houston to the Galveston
Ners, November l6, says:
A shooting affair occurred this evening at
the corner of Travis and Preston streets,
between j. s. Bevens and Ben Harris
There had previously been some bad feel
ing between the parties. They were once
partners in the Los Hermanos saloon, on
Courthouse square. Harris had anticipated
trouble with Bevens, and some time ago
borrowed or purchased q derringer pie tol
for his own protection, as he stated. This
evening Bevens borrowed a six-shooter,
and, encountering Harris, both walked on
Preston street as far as Travis, where, in
the midst of crowd, both reached behind
them for their pistols at the same moment.
Bevens was quicker than his antagonist,
whom he pushed aside and shot in the pit
of the stomach Harris then retired to a
grocery store, exclaimiDg: He has killed
men' and called for help, when Bevens ran
up the street, the wounded man firing at
him as he went. Harris was taken to his
home in the western portion of the city,
where the police state he died about p. nj
Deceased had not long been resident of
Houston, but Bevens is well known as a
saloon and barkeeper. The latter was ar
rested by Officer Henry Thompson, and re-
mains to night IN the custody of the police
at the station, on Louisiana street. The
cause of the difficulty is stated to have been
the prisoners belief that criminal in
timacy existed between the deceased and
his (the prisoner'sl wife.

The colored cadet in the Naval Academy,
Henry E. Baker, Jr., from Mississippi, was
dismissed from the academy yesterday by
the Secretary of the Navy, at the request Of
the superintendent. This cadet has occa.
stoned continual trouble since his entrance,
mere than q year ago, into the naval school.
Numbers of his classmates and others at the
school have been reported, and several
even dismissed, for molesting or troubling
him in various ways; but the hypothesis
that he was only an innocent victim Of un-
provoked aggressions is proven untenable
by the concurrent testimony of his class,
and by the report of board OF inquiry in
regard to the latest difficulty in which his
name appears. 1t was clearly shown before
the board that Baker used, on the occasion
referred to, language too gross for publica-
ton and totally inexcusable, and this
hagrant breach OF decency, coupled with
the previous accumulation of minor offenses
which he had committed, induced the su-
Derinterdent to request his dismissal. Baker
was turned back at the end of the last
academic year to the class below for def
cheney in the most important branch in the
years work, that of mathematical studies,
and nothing appears in his record as
cadet to entitle him TO be considered
creditable representative of his race, or
loss to the service to which he belonged

General c. B. Comstock. of the engineer
corps OF the army, returned from South
Pass Thursday evening. He remained there
several days, and made thorough exam
ination of the works and survey of the pass
from the river to the Gulf. He is now pre-,
pairing his report for the Secretary of War.
Captain Eads and his staff of advisory en-
gineers, including Sir Charles Hartley, Gen.
eral j. G. Barnard and others, will remain
at South Pass few days longer, giving
their attention to the details of the work in
progress and the results to be accom-
phished,

Some question having arisen as to the
legal occupant of the bench OF the Judge OF
the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, it may be
stated that Judge H. c. Myers resigned the
office some time since, and his resignation
is on file at the office of the Secretary of
State. Judge C. Chaplin has been for some
time discbarging the duties of the office, in
strict accordance with legal provisions gov
erning such cases. 1t is hoped this state
ment will remove all doubts of members of
the bar of that district who may have sup
posed there was a conflict of authority

A Letter from Minister Gushing.
A private letter was received to-day BY a
Cabinet officer from Minister Gushing, direct
from Madrid, in which he alludes generally
to European topics and other matters, but
makes no allusion wha tever to any causes
which would have tendency to disturb
the peace now existing between Spain and
the United States. The letter was read to

The President Telegraphed for Informa.
tion for his Message.
1t has been ascertained that the private
telegraphic correspondence which recently
took place between President Grant and
General Sherman was with reference to
matters on which the President desired TO
be informed for use in the preparation of
his annual message. The correspondence
had nothing whatever to do with the Cuban
question, as surmised in o recent special
dispatch.

The Speakership.
A Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune says;

A Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune says:
Sam Randall, as the contest for the
speskership approaches, begins to draw the
sharp fire of the enemy. Fernando Wood
arrives here to morrow for the season, and
the campaign for the epeskership will then
doubtless formally begin. The Capital this
morning has the severest attack upon Mr..
Randall that has yet been published, and
makes some specific charges. Its points
are these-that Randall is supported by Re-
publicans; that he is the cornerstone upon
which the lobby propose building; that cor
rupt Democrats who fear investigation favor
him. tsar, in return for contract for what
ls known as the hbre.paper, manufactured
BY Randall's constituents, he aided, in the
last hours of the late session, in the face OF
three reports from three several commit
tees, in breaking down the only protection
to the integrity OF our currency.
"The LOBBY has found in Mr.. Randall not
only an efficient worker, but kind friend.
1T was interesting to note, in the last hours
OF the late session. the lll-cOncealed efforts
OF the official agents of the House to get
their favOrite VI on the Conference COm-
mlttee. that their increased compensation,
back salary grab of the same sort he was
noted for supporting, in former session,
might be held against the opposition of the
Senate. He is u Protection Democrat from
Pennsylvania This is the one platform to
which he is loyal In proof of this, one has
only to follow him through the process
which covered from public view the acts
and actors of the Pacific Mail bribery.
Randall was vociferous in his demand for
investigation when he knew that such in.
vestigation, and the conmittee where il
began, meant only a dexterous hiding
of the criminals and not exposure
and punishment. 1t leaked out, however
that Roach, the so-called American ship.
builder, of Philadelphia, had covered under
his contract for two ships built tor the com
pany come 100000, used as corruption
fund by the lobby at Washington to carry
substitute. On hearing this, Judge Lough
ridge, of Iowa, then q member, sturdy
honest man, who meant business, offered q
| resolution asking for certain information Of
| the Postmaster General that would open uI
| the inquiry. Under the rules one objection
was fatal to the resolution. That came from
Sam Randall. Rising in his place he said
as the record reports him, i object. We
have had enough of this"
Randall is also charged with having en-
gineered the tariff revision in favor of Penn
| sylvania interests. This is significant
coming from this source at this time.

Sad Catastrophe .

We regret to learn that late information
seems to establish beyond doubt that Mr..
William Witty and wife, formerly of this
place, the latter being the daughter of the
late Judge Weems, and the sister of Mrs.
j. w. Jones, were lost on the schooner
Morning Star, on the Gulf coast, in Jan
uary, 1875. The latest direct information
from them was.a letter from Mr.. Witty to
Mr.. Jones, dated Arkansas country, Texas,
January 6, in which he states that he aud
his wife were on the eve OF embarking on
the Morning Star for Tuxpan, Mexico. Not
hearing from him since, Mr.. Jones recently
addressed letter OF inquiry to the Catholic
priest at Alexandria, in this State, where
Mr.. Witty at one time resided, and yester:
day received letter stating that the sister
OF Mr.. Witty, who was not willing to ac-
company her brother to Mexico, and is now
resident of New Orleans, informed the
writer that her brother and his wife were
lost on the schooner above named. A
reference to our files gives us no informa-
tion of the loss of the schooner, though
the Galveston Ne,cs may be able to throw
some light on the subject.-.Shrerep0rt Times

SAN ANTONIO, November l9, 1875.

Amusements.

There was better attendance at all of
the theatres last night than at any time be-
fore during the oeek.
LA Grande Duchesse" wss produced at
the Varieties Theatre for the first time here
by the Chizzola troupe. Though the opera
is somewhat worn, and the airs are familiar
to all musicians, it is always good, and the
most successful OF all opera bouffes. 1t led
the way for "Barbe Blue" and LA Belle
Helene" and outranBs them all for display
and sprightly music Mile. Geotiroy rendered
the music of the leading role delightfully."-,
though she hardly looked imperious enough,
even for burlesque duchess. Mr.. De-
Quercy played Fritz excellently well, with
all the awkwardness necessary. The
general ideas of General Baum are that he
was rotund, pompous person. Mr.. Roger
did not so make up for the character; but
no fault can be found with his acting. The
same opera will be repeated this evening.
Mime. L'Archiduc" will be given at the
matinee to-day.
