passed the Senate bill to appropriate
SI.000,000 for the centennial building,
with trifling amendments. Tho bill is
to be held until two other bills pass tax?
ing corporations to raise the necessary
revenue.
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

New York, April 10.?The following
special despatch conveys intelligence of
the terrible acoident to the steamer
Tigress, whioh became so woll known to

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. P., April 0.?Tho

tion, while scal-fisbiug, exploded her
boiler. Two engineers aud twenty of
tbe orew were killed. The ship is uuder

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.

Iu tho Senate, Sherman, iu presenting j

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.
Probabilities?The Ohio, Cumberlaud
aud Tennessee Rivers will rise; tho
lower Mississippi will remain stationary.
On Saturday, over tho Eastward and
Middle States, dear weather will pre?
vail, with North-west to West winds in
tho former, but West to South winds iu

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

I as was at fiiet reported.

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

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

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.
