Nbw Orleans, April 9.?The river has fallen two inches, and is now flush with the high, water-mark of 1871. The break-in the levee below Oarrolltou wus oloBed. Low places within the oity limits have been filled and weak points strengthened, dispelling nil apprehen? sions of an overflow. Two severe breaks iu the levee occurred last night at.Bohemia plantation, four miles below Plaquiemiuo Court House, and another at. Verbatos plantation, twenty-live miles below the city, both on the left bank of the river. A break is reported this morning,-sixty feet wide and five feet deep, at Staokhouse plantation, on the right bank, about fifteen miles below the city. It is understood steps have been taken for dosing all the above mentioned breaks. Washington, April 10.?The Finance Comerjttee, in reporting the House bill to facilitate the exportation of distilled spirits, made an important change in it by striking out the provision for an allowance of two per cent, reduction for leakage of spirits while in course of bonded' transportation, aud by refusing to agree to the second seotioc, which provides that bonds shall bo cancelled whenever proof is furnished the depart? ment that tho spirits were destroyed in tranaitu. Such cases, they think, should contihae to be made subjects of special relief. The Finance Committee also recommend non-concurrence in the ac? tion of the House proposing to reduce the export stamp from twenty-five to ten cents for each paokage. The Secretary of tho Treasury sent to the Senate a long unswor to its resolu? tion oalliag for information a* to what, if any, additional legislation is required to prevent defalcations of United States revenue stamps and publio moneys, and whether bonds should not, in all cases, be required of officials having actual custody of such stamps and money. Tbs Secretary reports that by his order of February, 1873, the. independent treasury offices were relieved of all stamps in their possession, and that the reoeivicg and custody of United States stamps is now confined to the Commis? sioner and Collectors of Internal Reve? nue, and postmasters designated as stamp agents. These officers are now required to give special bonds for that purpose He recommends that each de? pository of publio moneys be made in? dividually responsible for his receipts and disbursemeuts, and be required to render monthly or quarterly accounts, upon whioh the settlement of the United States Treasurer's general account shall be based, instead of his being previous? ly charged with moneys merely roported as having bocn placed to his credit ut distant points. The Secretary also re commends the adoption of u plan by which credits shall bo allowed to dis? bursing officers only upon productiou of vouchers, with checks attached; also, that the amounts of all outstanding ohecks at the close of each year be co? vered into treasury. Crediting officers, with amounts of vouchers paid by out standingoheokB, upon evidouco that they have been covered iuto tho treasury, to the credit of tho parties entitled thereto. He reoommeuds the adoption of previ? ous recommendations for legislation to prevent connivance of brokers, &a, iu officials using Government money. Ho also recommends a comprehensive nud rigid system of examinations bo made, without notioe, into office, of all col? lectors, reooivers aud disbursing officers the same as now provided for Assistant Treasurers; also, that publio moneys on deposit in national banks should be re? stricted to tho amount of bonds filed by said bank with tho Treasurer of tho United States as security. New York, April 10.?Tho Tribune says, editorially, that there is now at Washington a delegation of men from South Caroliua, charged with the duly of. o}enying the charges mado by the Tax-Payers' Convention. That conven? tion seutits representatives to Washing? ton with a scries of distinct and credi? ble allegations against tho management of tho State finances. Tho aid of Con? gress is sought in nu attempt to reform tho'government and save the State from utter bankruptcy. The anti-tax-payers' delegation (if we may so call them) say that tho others are rebels; that they spell negro with two "g's," aud that things uro not so bad as represented. The men who thus seek to belittle the mission of the tax-payers' delegation are led by B. F. Whittemore, a car pet-bag ger, who was expelled from Congress for selling'a cadetahip. If anything more! were needed to fix the character of these ! men, it may ?be added, that the rank and file of them belong, or have belonged, to the State Government of South Oa rolina?a Government whioh has been made up of the worst thieves aud phiu derers that evor infested any commu? nity. Congress may not be able to do much for South Carolina, but the ap pearauoe there of such a baud of ma? rauders as tuoso who protest against re- j 'form, is a piece of brazen impudence aud unparalleled effrontery." Memphis, April 10.?Two hours' snow atorm to-day. New York, April 10.?The following special despatch conveys intelligence of the terrible acoident to the steamer Tigress, whioh became so woll known to the public in connection with Captain Hall's ill-fated Arctic expedition: ' Tho Evening Post says a railroad train which left Vanderbili'a Landing, Stuten Island, at 7 o'clock, lost cveuiug, was stopped, about two miles out, by a band of Italians, who tore up tho track. The particulars of the outrage have not yet been received, save that the robburs se? cured the oash box on the truiu, but were themselves soon after arrested aud are uow lucked up. St. John's, N.

Breckenridge: Young Breckenridge was shot aud mortally wounded, at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, by John L. Ander? son, bou of Dr. Anderson, Mayor of Lebauoo. The difficulty originated iu some trivial matter. Breokouridge sur? vived but a few hours. Audersou's con? nections in Tenuesseo are as prominent as Breokenridge's in Kentuoky. It is reported Anderson has escaped. Memphis, April 10.?The officers of the steamer A. J. White, which bus ar? rived hero, brings additional informa? tion concerning the orovasse at Hash puckauy. It is the opinion of plauters thoro that the levee was cut on Wednes? day night, either by raftsmen or persons living on the West side of the river, to relievo them from a threatened over? flow. The crevasse is 100 yards iu width, aud the water is pouring through it. An attempt was made yesterday to repair the levee, but it was impossible to check the volume of water. This levee is one of the largest on the river, having a base of 300 feet and an average height of 25 feet. Some twelve plantations are already threatened, aud it is fcured that immense damage wilf be doue in Sun? flower, Tullahatchie und Yazoo bottoms.

Bartley, Ray Sc Jenner and Judge Casey, filed u bill for au injunction against Gass a way B. Lunar, Denver Sc Peck, and tho Secre? tary and First Controller of tho Treasu? ry, and a temporary order wu3 made. I ho object of tho suit is to prevent the payment by tho Treasury officers to L i rnar of $570,315.51, judgmont ou a cot? ton claim giveu by tho Court of Claims; iu which Chovor olaims an interest. Iu tho Senate, Sherman, iu presenting j tho tin tariff, said nothing could bo done! boforo the committee. Tho Committee i on Commerce reported adversely to tho j bill that bridges over tho Ohio should havo -100 feet spaus and 100 feet pivot draw.

In the House, Butler withdrew his motion to reoooBider tho vote on post poaing the consideration of 'the oar roncy bill, aud said he did so to explain to the Hon bo his purpose?which was to pass the Senate bill, aud then go ou and perfect the Housh bill. Clarke, of Teuuessee, asked if the gentleman would support the free bunking feature of the House bill? lie had declared himself iu favor of greenbacks.' Butler said ho would favor a kind of free baubl? ing, but did not approve of the form presented in this bill. Io the course of biB Remarks, ho said he did not think tho Executive would voto a bill to give relief to the people. While the Senate and House were perfecting other mea? sures for that purpose, he sought the passngo of the Seuate bill, not us the best measure, or one that ho by any iminner of means approved, but us the best thing he could get now, and to set tlo the public mind end <?tve r??li?-f t<> th* business of tho country. Kellogg, 01 Connecticut, naked if tho gentleman (in? serted that tho President would not veto tho bill. Tho Speaker's hummer fell heavily, and he said that such an allu? sion was entirely out of order. Kdlogg said he had thought so, and fur that reason he asked tho question. The Speaker said the Chair had not no? ticed such words spoken, or he should huvo stopped tho gentleman. Butler said he hud only spoken of what was suid by tbo newspapers, and he begged pardon of the House for doing so. He had expressed the opiuiou that the President would not bo inllueuced by tho motives assigned.? Drtwes asked if it was not equally out of order to al? lude to a matter negatively us to allude to it affirmatively. The Speaker said it was. Butler?Then it is unparliamen? tary to nay you don't thiuk a raau will do a foolish thing. Cox, of New York, said the gentleman had asserted that the President would not veto tho Senate bill. The House hud u right to demand his authority. Butler?I did not say so. [Sounds of the rapidly aud heavily fall? ing gavel of the Speaker drowned the voice of tho two gentlemen,ulthough both continued shouting at the top .of their voices ] The House spent the whole day in voting on the ourreucy bill. Tue motion making the postponement vote of yesterday a finality was defeated by the casting vote of tho Speaker, aud thus the bill came up again for uctioti. Tho most important votes were those by which the seventh and eighth sections of tho bill were Btricken out. The seveuth provides for banks without circulation, uud the eighth for the monthly issue of $2.000,000 of gold cotes, as substitutes for au equal amount of legal tenders, that were to be canceled. The latter section was struck out by u vote of 149 to 91. Kelley's convertible $365.000, 000 boud proposition was defeated, the vote on its adoption being IIS to 122. Tho House adjourned without coming to a final vote on tho bill, which comes up again to-morrow.

The latest trugody iu Kunsus, al? though uol up to the standard attained by some of its numerous predecessors of late yoars, possesses some exciting features. John Pearce, of Jacksonville, married Authony Amcud's daughter, some time ago, aud it having come to the young uusband'n ear that his father in-law hud said that he maltreated his young wife, Johu took the old gentle man to tut-k for his assertion, and, upon his refusing to recall it, Pearoe dis? charged a volley of hot shot into his futher-iu-law's body, killiug him iu siuntly. Pearoe took refuge in tho woods. Iustautly a vigilance committee, comprising eighty citizens, was organ? ized und tho raurderor was holly pursued, but the deusity of tho timber and the height of the grass afforded the refugee a retreat that tor a time defied discovery. Filially tho vigilants ignited the grass, and t:>'.! liro drove the murderer from his hiding place, lie tl :d again toward the river, plunged in and swam ucross. The avengers pursued him h'.-tly, and likewise leaped into the river and swam for the opposite shore. On dry g?mud again, the. chasu was renewed, and maintained until tho murderer was brought to bay. Then, the water hav? ing reudered his revolver harmless, he surrendered. Pea reo was taken buck to Jacksonville by Iiis captors that night, and Iii?; uexi morning his dead body was found hanging to tho limb of a tree in I the village common. A tragedy occurred in a house oi ill fame iu Toronto, Canada, Wednesday night, ilohti Keilley set lire to the clothes of one of the inmates, named M iry Sliitterly, ?ud she was burned so severely that she died iu the hospital I uext day. Bui Hoy was arrested. 1'ho coroner's jury brought in a verdict of wilful murder against him. We learn that Miss t> lick, tho victim ; of Cr.'sshng, is not onl\ not dead, as was I stated, but that she bids fair to recover. ; Tho accounts of the affair were ex igge ruted, iu that tho wounds in the throat ; inflicted by Ciossling are not vj severe I as was at fiiet reported. The people's ticket was elected in ? Mayosvillo, S. C, on the 1th. The fol? lowing is I lie result: .Mayor?Dr. J. A. Mttjcs. Wardens?II. J. Mayen, ?lohn ' Burroughs, C. O. Wheeler, A. Williams. Tho Pennsylvania Democrats are paving the way for a Republican victory ' in the S: ite election next fall, by qutr . reliug among themselves. A heavy rain storm occurred in C. luoibus, Ga., on the 9th, and a colored man was drowned in a hole in the street. Tiiis .seems to be a terrible "off year" ?iu fact, a perfectly awful year?for Radicalism. Evu? Communications,?The evil communications of the Washington Chronicle corrupt its good manners. It now says: "This committee (of tax-payers) is composed of leading Democrats. Nearly all the Judges are Democrats. If, there? fore, the State and Couuty offloialB of South Carolina commit flagrant frauds, they oould bo and should be indicted, tried, convicted aud punished for these crimes. It is presumed that these De? mocratic c >urts would uot be averse to the conviction of Republican officials if they arc really guilty. While this easy und common remedy exists, nod has not been tried in vaiu, the discussion of the constitutional power of Congress to overturn the existing State Qoverumeut is, in our opinion, premature." Only one of the eight Circuit Judges can be possibly classed as a Democrat. The three Judges of the Supreme Court are all Radiaals. A'Jury Commissioner, appointed by the Governor, makes up tho panel from whioh the juries are drawn; aud it is a well known faot that jurymen are nearly always chosen from among the political Trieuds and hangers on of the Commissioner, who seek the place for the sake of the pay. There ate no "Democratic courts" in the' Stute. Every court is Republicau throughout, and evou a Judge who is anxious to do his duty is powerless to correct the evil. The Chronicle is au Bwered. ? Charleston News. There is a singularity in the oc? currence of large incendiary tires re? cently, both iti this aud other countries. The largest, however, thut have been reported within the week uro those in India, where in the Gevallor district two whole villages havo been wiped out by tho hand of au incendiary, lu Cuba, we are told, these conflagrations are multiplying with fearful rapidity. Has the Communist plau anything to do with the crime? People who are interested in physiog? nomy will be glad to learn, upon good authority, that a good chin should neither project or retreat. A retreating chin denotes weakness; a projecting one, I harsh streugth; a pointed chin means ucutoness; a soft, fat chin, a love of good things, aud an angular chin, judg? ment und firmness; a il.it ohiu denotes colduess; a rouud dimpled one, good? ness; a small chiu, fear; sharp indent? ing*, a cold understanding. Such is tho music of chins. The "Gilded Age,'' which bears the names of Murk Twuiu and Charles Dud? ley Warner, is confidently asserted to be a gigantic practical joke. It is said that, wishing to test tho credulity of the public, theso two authors had the book prepared by several obscure newspaper local reporters. Tho covenant was solemnly made that tho juko was to be kept a secret till 3U0.O00 oopies Of the work were sold.
