Suggestions for the Season.

Thousands regard the winter as season
of trials: and the truth Is, that if there is II
weak point in the system, winter is pretty
sure to find il on. Constitutional tenden-
cieS to disease are generally aggravated by
damp and cold. (Rheumatism sometimes
lies pcrrlu all the summer and fall, to pounce
upon its victims in the season of cold.) AS
a means of forlitying the body against all
the diseases which prevail most extensively
in winter, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters cam
not be too urgently recommended. There
would be fewer cases of the pulmonary
complaints tending to consumption, IL all
feeble systems were. invigorated during the
season with course OF this inestimable
vegetable tonic and Alternative. COnstipa-
lion, indigestion, torpiGity of the liver, and
a general slug.ishneSs Of the secretiye or
gans very generally prevail at this period
OF the year. To all these ailments expe-
Renee Cthe most trustworthy of all mentors,
teaches us that the Bitters Is a reliable REM
edy. Warm clothing is good external
defense against atmospheric cold and mnis-
turc, but vigorous activity in the vital
organization which generates heat and de-
livers 1t to the surface, is also essential to
health, and this activity is secured through
the operation OF the Bitters. The skin SYM

Is regular and perfect, the exterior circula-
ton will be brisk, and damp ana cold may
be encountered with comparative safety.

The Bonnet Carre CreYasse.

Mr. johnson, one of the sufferers by the
Bonnet Care crevasse, who is now driven
from his home, declares that the levee
where the break occurred, was not weak
ened by its being cut away to haul wood
sugar, or anything else. He declares that
Sd far from manifesting an indisposition to
strengthen the levee, the planters and their
hands worked a day and half on it in
vain endeavOr 10 prevent the crevasse.
While he says this he insists that the State
authorities in charge of the levees could
have prevented the creva>se at that point,
though he admits that they were not in
formed of the danger to the levee there.
His theory seems TO be that it would have
been useless 20 notify the authorities of the
danger of crevasse, and that it was the
duty rather of the authorities in charge Of
the levees TO keep up a system of rigid
inspection of every foot of the levees in the
State than of planters and others on the
line OF the levee to give notice Of the
danger.
The facts appear to be that there was
culpable negligence in not Immediately
notifying the State authorities OF the danger
to the levee, which is now the scene OF
most destructive crevasse.

Effects OF the Storm on the River.

The Times of last evening reports the de-
tails of damages to river steamers during
the hurricane of Tuesday evening. The
Times says:
We learn from the officers of the Vicks-
burg packet Frank Pargoud, which arrived
here to-day at noon, that while effecting d
landing at the foot of Grand View Reach,
fifty miles above the city, the storm came.
on them in the shape of screw hurricane,
and took off both chimneys as clear as
though it were done to order.
One singular circumstance about the fall
ing of the chimneys is that the starboard
one was lifted out of its fastenings in the
casing and carried over the texas, without
any injury thereto, and fell with the other
one on the bank The starboard chimney
sustained but little injury, the leaves being
mashed while the larbOard one was so badly
broken as to cause the cutting up of one
half of it.
The damages to the boat are as follows:
The larboard hurricane roof and boiler deck
is stove in, and from the appearance of the
break it will take some days before it will
be repaired.
Some idea of the force of the storm Tues
day evening may be gathered from the fol
lowing statement OF passenger on the En-
terprlse:
Tuesday evening, May 3 at P. NJ, when
about five miles below Plaquemines, we en-
countered perfect tornado, which lasted
for over an hour. The wind was terrific,
lashing the water of the river into waves
higher than were ever seen.
AS it was we escaped with the loss only
of our smoke stacks, which were taken up
as paper and carried clean and clear off the
boat.
The Leonidas, which left here Monday
evening for Cincinnati, was terribly dam
aged by the storm. Particulars are detailed
by our river reporter.

Direct Importation,

When the ladies and gentlemen of this
city and vicinity can obtain here French
goods of direct importation they take pleas
ure in doing SO. The popular dry goods
establishment of d. H. Holmes, No. lj5
Canal street and No. Is Bourbon street, has
received a direct importation of French
goods by the steamer Koln, and the pro
prietor invites purchasers to call and exam
inc the same.
The commercial independence OF New Or
leans can be better secured if direct impor-
tations can be made than if foreign goods
are purchased from other American cities,
and in order to produce this result it is wise
to patronise Mr.. Holmes

Heather Rep0rt-The barometer con-
tinues to fall slowly ON the Pacific coast,
with brisk southwesterly winds. The low
est pressure is now in Southern Indiana.
The barometer has risen slowly ON the up
per lakes and extreme Eastern States. 1t
has varied somewhat in the Middle and
Southern States, but is now falling. The
temperature has fallen very decidedly from
Iowa southwark to the gulf, and eastward
to the Atlantic. 1t has risen ON the South
Atlantic with increasing southwest winds.
Brisk and light northeast winds have pre-
vailed during the day on all the lakes.
1t is probable that the storm will continue
on the lakes, followed on Thursday, on the
upper lakes, by increasing winds and clear
is probable for the Atlantic coast. Fresh
northw esterly winds will probably be ex-
perienced in the lower Mississippi valley.
The Court of Claims to-day was mainly
occupied in hearing the argument in the
case of j. NJ. Lapayere VS.. the United
States, which involves a new and inter
esting question. The act of July 9, 1864,
permitted purchases of cotton in the insur-
rectionary districts, provided that one
fourth of the amount purchased should in
each case be turned over to the United
States government as a special tax:
Mr.. Lapayere bought 476 bales of cotton
in Louisiana in June, 1865, and delivered
ll9 bales thereof to a treasury agent as the
required purchasing tax. He now claims
the recovery of the proceeds of this amount
of cotton on the grounds that at the date of
the transaction President Johnsons proc
lamation of jane "a 1865, restoring com
mercial intercourse had been issued, and
did away with the obligation to pay said
tax, although the fact of its issuance was
not then known at the point where the cot
ton was purchased.
The question, therefore, arises whether
the proclamation took effect at the date of
its signature at Washington, or at the vary
ing dates in various sections of the country
when the news Of its PRONUNCIATION was re-
ceived.
Argument was commenced to-day in the
case of the New York, Newfoundland and
London Telegraph Company VS.. the United
States, for the recovery of an alleged large
balance due for cable kilograms sent by
Secretary Seward.

CHARLESTON, May 3.-The people of
nearly every county in this State have held
meetings and chosen delegates to the tax
payers convention which meetsin Columbia
on Tuesday next. The character of the
delegates chosen, and the tone of the State
press, indicates that the platform of the
convention will be deliberate and conserya-

against any further issue of State bonds,
upon any pretense whatever, but the gem

thing like reputation of the bonds already
issued under the forms of law.
The convention will probably favor a

near the body. The pistol is of the sort
known as the pocket derringer, and of the
make of the Brown Manufacturing Com
pany, of Newburyport, Massachusetts. By
an ingenious contrivance the barrel, which
is about two inches in length and
rifed, can be turned to one side on pivot
and loaded with cartridge. The weapon
is mbered l4l7. and is marked South
erner" on the top of the barrel. 1t is quite
new, and the cartridges found with it were

Some tufts of short brown hair and few
hairs from the head or beard of Mr.. TYn-
dale were found on the ground, and
there We're several fragments of bricks
lying about.
1t is pretty certain, from the evidence
taken before the coroner's jury, which was
in session all day yesterday, that some un-
known parties must have been aware of
MIR. Ty ndale's intention of taking the morn
ing train south, and thinking doubtless that
he had a large sum of money on his person,
determined TO possess it, even by bloody
murder if necessary.
Mr.. Tyndale was d well built and power
ful man, and if attacked, as he doubtless
was, he would make desperate resistance
The murderer or mur,lerers were prepared
to do their bloody work efectually, if neces-
tary, and no doubt the struggle was terrible
while it lasted, and the defense made by
Mr.. Tyndale desperate.
In this struggle hair was torn from the
heads of the combatants, and Mr.. Tyndales
collar was rent as mentioned. At last,
while the men were still looked id deadly
struggle, the robber, or an accomplice-for
there may have been more than one robber-
placed a pistol close TO the head of Mr..
Tyndale, and fred a single shot, which
ended the struggle and the victims life.
The rObber then ritled the body of the
victim, but was frightened by some means
from his prey before he had completed his
work. He took the pocketbook and seized
the fifty dollars, but left some other smaller
sums. He pulled at the gold watch but
this was secured by steel chain. Tie gold
spectacles, which Mr.. Tyndale constantly
wore, and which he had on when struck
with the club, as shown by the bend in the
left limb, probably fell to the ground in the
struggle, OF were knocked off bv q blow,
and the spectaclcs and the travelling sack
were left on the ground when the robber
and murderer was obliged to depart.
Mr.. Tyndale leaves a wife and five chill
dren, all of whom, except two are men and
women GrOWn.
The Mayor Of Springfield has offered a
reward of one thousand dollars for the ar
rest and conviction of the murderers, aud
doubtless the reward will be largely in
creased by MIR. Tyndale's friends.

Mr. Boverie spoke in opposition to the
measure, repeating the veteran objections
to the exercise of fepale suffrage.
Mr.. Gladstone followed, saying he was
not prepared to sustain the measure, for he
was disinclined to involve womanhood in
the trying scenes and turbulent excitement
of elections. He preferred the italian idea
OF female suffrage, founded on property but
exercised by proxy. He was opposed to the
bill IN its present shape but was ready to
sustain a careful measure for the same OBJ
ject.
Lord John Manners was puzzled to dis
cover the grounds of Mr.. Giadstone's oppo-
sltlon, and said the scenes at elections were
