On Iast Saturday, we learn, Mr. Clay Evans, of Grand Pass township, shot twice, with mor- tal result, one Joseph Brown, a notorious des- perado, and the terror in the community in whieh he lived. The particulars, as we have been able to gather them, are about as follow: Brown, who was Mr. Evans’ brother-in-law, and some younger brothers of the latter, were all farming together, and lived in the same family mansion, near Grand Pass Church. Brown was much given to intoxication, aad When under the influence of ardent spirits, wonld threaten all the familly, both mate and female, with death. He was accustomed to treating Mr. Olay Evans with all manner of in- sult and opprobium and in his drunken sprees would say that he had only to get him out of the way to haye the entire management of the estate in bis own hands, Brown was ac:us- tomed, too, to maltreat and threaten the life of his mother-im-law, an aged infirm widow lady. He had, not more than one year since, left Tennessee to avoid prosecution for an unpro- voked murder ofa colored man, and bad pe- come to the family with whom’ he had been iving ever since he let Tenuesse, an intoler- able nuisance and constant terror, until the culmination of this tragedy on last Saturd jorning. Brown kepta double-barreled shot n and three revolvers. The latter he wore strapped to his person all the time both in and out of doors, On the morning aforesaid he was unusually abusive and obstreperous, and auxtous to dye is hands in the blood of some one. He had threatened the life of his mother-in-law and every one of her daughters. He went up the irs with the avowed intention to procure his -gun and at once commence the work of extermination, He was heard distinctly to load and prepare his weapons for this purpose —the determined, indiscriminate murder of a whole family. He was either a demon of the blackest hue, or the man was insaue. Mr. Evans in the meantime prepared to detend him. elf, his mother and sisters, with a double bar- veled shot-gun. With gun in hand, Brown n commenced to deseend the steps, Mr. Evans ordered his to stop, but this only in- flamed still more the desperate bravaio. The two fired simultaneously, the discharge from Evans’ gun taking effect in Brown's breast, while the latter failed in his aim, Mr. Evans being unhurt. Brown, however, seemed not ~eriously disabled trom this, and began to raise his wefipon for another round, when Mr. Evans again shot him in the breast, which proved fatal, and Brown expired witha ime.

The wife immediately wrote, advising him to do so, and cordially inviting them to come directly to her house, and remain as long as they wished. He thar ked her for the advice and accepted the in- vitation, saying that they were to be married the following Monday, and would start imme- diately, and reach home Wednesday evening. The wife made a “bride's loaf,” sent invitations to all her friends in the neighborhood, and when the happy couple ‘arrived they found a sph nded entertainmest and a goodly company awaiting them, and were bang 4 welcomed and congratulated by all.

Those on the floor, members of the House and others. left the Chamber during the reading of these documents; but the spectators in the galleries, having no coupons or checks to entitle them to readmission should they go out, were obliged to “stick” or lose their seats. & little relief to the dry routine was afforded by asmart discussion that sprung up between the opposing counsel in regard to the letter of the President to General Grant in regard to the question of veracity between them. The le'ter as read WAS not accompanied by the tetters of the members of the Cabinet, and the counsel for the President offered the objection that the letter could not be put in as evidence unless it included the inclosures referred to by the let- ter, and thus made a part of the same. The ob- jection, on being referred to the Senate by the Chair, was overruled, by a vote of 20 to 29. The evidence of Gen. George W. Wallace, commander of the garrison of Washington, given next, was substantially the same as given by him before the Impeachment Committee. It was concluded by some little sparring be- tween Gen. Butler and Mr. Stanbery, after which a recess was taken.

The ission houses and manufacturers. agen‘s, however, were not greatly influenced by the lively times inaugurated by the bouses in ques- tion, and affairs are quietly settling into a reg- lar condition. The market has been sensibly fleeted, too, by the stringency of money; but, as fhe present week will be the iast of the pinch; for the present season, trade will no doubt ereatly improved, In brown goods the tran: actions have been small from first hands, ow- ng to the competition among some of the lvad- ‘ng jobbing firms to foree sales. But prices are hot materially changed. and, the stock on ¢ being small for the season, no decline can Uctpated, unless there chould be a consid- erable falling off in the price of the raw material, There “is less firmness in the prices of bleached goods. and the stock has cousiderably increa:ed in first hands, but agents manifest no disposition to yield to lower rates. A large trade is still looked for in bleached sturtings. New York Mills sell at 2 cts.. and Wamsutta at 25 cts, for d+. ‘There is bet little demand for drills, apd mostly for the heavy grades. Cotton flannels are not in request, but the prices are unchanged. Corset jeans are dull. and prices are not firmly susia Stripes and ticks sell readily, but without any change ot prices Heavy denims are in good demand, but the light grades are neglected. In prints there is great uncertainty of prices. The man- ufacturers’ agents, who anticipated a lively de- mard from marking dewn their prices a cent a yard, were frustrated by two or three leading jobbers, who were quicker in their movements and got the call of the market. Ty ginghams there is a moderate business do- out any change of prices. Printed lawns of good styles sell more freely, but the ferior qualities are dull. Rolled jaconets, cambries, and silesias are only moderately active. Muslin de laines are in less demand than onght to be in the case at this season, and prices have given way about one cent a yard. The stock in first hand large, and prices ary steady. Italians are wuchanged and dull. In cloths there is but little animation; for medium and low grades prices ure firm, but the demand is limited. Cassimeres and sati- nets of good styles for the se: sell readily, and are held at firm prices. The manufactur- ers of casimers are becoming sensible of the good policy of sending only first quality goods to this market, which pay better profits than the poorest grades.

A sir Wituess was then asked what the discussion among the army officers was particularly about. He replied as to what their duties were under the order. Q. You received no instructions then from the War Office relative to the construction of the order? A. No. sir. 9. It was then left to your own construction, and having doubts about it you consulted law- yers? Witness replied that be had ne doubts about the construction, but be bad consulted a Inwyer in order to settle the doubts of others. ak Then you applied to Mr. Rob't J. Walker. . Yes, sir, Tid Mr. Walker tell you that you were bound by the order, whether it was constitu- tional or unconstitutional! A.—The question ot the constitutionslity of the order did not then come up, Witness understood the mean- ing to be that the order was to be obeyed, and | that officers would be hound by it until 1 was deciared unconstitutional by the courts. The order and act are the same thing, and as iar as we are concerned are the same thing. The act was approved; consider the order and the act the same.
