The mother spoke to her daughter, andthe latter acknowledged the truth of the rnmors. The mother told the oungestson. The sister also acknowledged t to him, but refused his solicitatior to give _ to him any written proof she might have of the relations between her and Clark. The elder brother, Henry.W. Brewer, was not in- formed of the state of things until the 18th of June, 1875, when a friend disclosed the facts tohim. Henry W. Brewer, accom; led by his brother, came to Baltimore, and shot Clarke at sight. Mr. Thompson further Stated that Brewer wrote to Clarke, begging him to keep his promise, and save her by marriage. He wrote in reply that he bad anaged mother and others dependent on him, and he was not in circumstances to support a wife. He sent a certain Dr. Wil- fon to a. her by removing the evidence | of her condition, but she refused his services. THE SHOOTING. J.

Sir: Believing that the convention to be held to-day for the purpose of electing a dele- gate to the national conveution at Cincla- aati has net been so elected as tosecure a complete and satisfactory representation of | therepublican voters of the District, I agi | you Lot to present my name as a candiddte to be a delegate to Cincinnati. The harmony ofthe party imperatively requires that {n such proceedings as those contemplated by your convention to-day all the primary meetings and movements shall have been of an unquestionable character. and I be! that some of the delegates who will be ad- mitted to yorr convention bave been elected through intinences inimical to the republi- can party. In other words, I believe that democratic agencies have been at work suc- cessfully to obtain control of a certain num- ber of the delegates who wi!l be admitted as Members of your convention. I also asic | that in theevent my name is presented as a@ candidate by any one else you withdraw it from nomination. Respectfully yours, Ep. P. Rrooxs.

The committee to waiton Mr. Bowen re- turned and presented the following letter WASHINGTON, March lemen of the Convention:—When days since I was asked whether I would ac- cept the position of delegate to the Cincin- nati convention, I answered promptly in the negative, and assigned ag a reason tat [ had retired from polities and preferred to remain @ private citizen. Being afterwards urged by many of my old and valued friends to permit my name to be used,I finally con- sented, remarking at the same time tliat “if the republicans of the District wished me to represent tyem in part in that conveation. and thought proper to elect me as one of those delegates, 1 would go, and it would be my endeavor to carry out their wishes, and £0 act as would, in my judgment, best pro- mote the interests of the republican party and insure its success in November.” Tne convention haying, in its partiality, elected me as one of the District delegates, and that, too, without any personal effort on my part, 1 now repeat the pledge then made, and pro- mise, through no act of mine at Cincinnati shall any discredit come to the District of Co- lumbia nor to those who have honored me by their confidence and support.
