Levee Matters.

Last evening Sergeant Rapp, in command
of the fifth police precinct, sent the follow
ing message to General Badger:
The crevasse at the Stanton plantation,
eighteen miles down the coast, in the parish
of Plaquemines, is about $50 feet long.
The fields are flooded. The first bend at
the Cutoff, 500 yards from the break, the
water is rushing over the levee rapidly.
The Lacroix plantation levee is partly
washed away, and is in bad condition;
immediate assistance is required. At the
Villere plantation the water is nearly even
with the levee. At the Lacroix place. ten
miles below the city, the waves caused by
the high winds have caused much uneasi-
ness.
There was a rumor on the streets last
night that the levee at Carrollton had gone
under, but such is not the case.
The levee at Norbert Trepagnier's place,
over two miles below Algiers, was in a bad
condition last night. Help is called for.

ADJUSTMENTS,

Lille Eldridge Is alma IressiAian. was
acted again at this theatre last night. The
character of the heroine of "Granville de

OF acung most natural to Miss Eldridge,

cause the veteran Ben DeBar will appear in
the comedy in his wonderfully comic ,Der.

The Opera.
Last evening large audience assembled
q. me opera House to testify their appre-
ciatlon Of the merits of n. Gueymard. The
sensitive nature of the tenor voice makes it
peculiarly susceptible to climatic and at
mospheric changes. The horrible weather
OF the past week and the sudden Transition
from sea-coast city initiated much against
NJ. Gueymard's sweet and powerful sing
ing. In spite of all obstacles however, the
beneficiary realized to the full the expec-
tatlons OF his friends, and elected the most
enthusiastic applause. A perfect.avalanche
OF bouquets and wreaths marked the
termination of the fourth act and the
enthusiasm Of the audience was attested bv
triple recall. y
N. Van Hufflen was greeted on his return
10 the stage, whereon he was once 80 great
fayorite, by perfect storm of applause.

NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1874.
The New Criminal Court.

The law establishing the Superior Crlm-
inal Court for the parish Of Orleans is pro-
mulgated this morning. The jurisdiction
it gives is carefully defined, and embraces
all the higher grades of crime. The court
will also take cognizance of the returns of
elections instead of the First District Court,
which is divested Of all powers hitherto
exercised in cases now only to be tried in
the new court. A judge and clerk are to be
appointed to serve till the next general
election. The act provides also for the
drawing of jurors. Two commissioners, at
a salary of $500 each, appointed by the
Governor, are to select 500 names from
among the citizens of New Orleans and de.
liver list of them to the clerk, who, with
the sheriff. shall select by lot each month
forty-eightnames to constitute the petty jury.
Seventy names are to be drawn when grand
jury is to be impaneled, from which the
judge is to select those who are to compose
it. Drawings for the civil courts are made
by the commissioners and the civil sheriff
in presence Of the criminal sheriff, who is
at all times to have the custody of the box.
Only thirty-six jurors are to be drawn for
the First District Court. Challenges to the
array are regulated. All indictments are
to be found in the new court. Witnesses
may be required to give security for ap-
pearance on the oath of the prosecuting
attorney, and when confined the case is to
have speedy trial. The judge may recuse
himself and appoint an attorney to act
The city of New Orleans is required to pro-
vide court room and bear the expenses of
the court The law is to 60 into effect i'm
except as to the sessions of the
court, which are to commence as SOON as

Louisiana Jockey Club.

Tomorrow, If it don't rain, the races will
| commence. As far as the track is con.
cerned. it sheds water like q ducks back,
but as shower baths and races are not com.
monty supposed to 60 together, any open
Ing on the part Of the celestial sluice- gates
will result in an immediate closure of the
Fair Grounds gates.
We hope, however, that we will have a
fair day. A good track may be confidently
promised, tor the recent improvements
thereon, made under the supetintendence
and direction of Captain William Conner,
give us grounds for making an unqualified
promise to that effect.
The first days sport will consist of a race
for all ages, distance one mile and a quar-
ter; the contest for the Pickwick stake,
mile heats for three year olds, and q three
mile race for all ages.
For the Pickwick stake there are thirty.
two nominations. As these are stabbed
here for appearance at the present meeting,
more horses than have ever been gathered
here at one time, either before or since the
war, 1t may reasonably be expected that at
least dozen of these nominations will
start. Among the most prominent of the
flyers that will probably come to the post
may be mentioned the bay gelding Bay
Rum, the bay filly Nettie Norton, the
chestnut colt Stampede and the chestnut
flly Paralee. To add eclat to the contest
for the Pickwick stake, the Pickwick Club
offers, as an additional prize to the winner
valuable and handsome gold mounted
whip.
The sale Of pools Will take place to.nisb.

shall all find out then, how the knowing

ture will have quotations to 90 BY Then
can the sportive Chloe and the dashipg
Daphne have reliable data on which to base
their predictions in the way of naming

For the sterner sex there will be the at
traction of the Paris pools, which were 80
popular at the last meeting.

Precautions Against sickness.

The ability Of the human body to resist the caus-
es Of disease depends upon its yigor aud upon the
regularity.with which the several organs perfe nm
their functions. In the winter the most prolific
sources Of sickness are damp and cold, and ii is
therefore wise and prudent to fortify the system
against them by wholesome stimulation. Hence it
is that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters prove such an
admirable safeguard against the complaints most
common at this season. The ingredients of this
powerful vegetable invigorant comprise three es-
sential medicinal elements which act simultaneous
upon the digestion, the circulation the secretions
and the nerves, infusing strength and regularity
into all. In this way the Bitters put the body in
the best possible condition to escape an attack of
rheumatism, or intermittent fever or indigestion,
or biliousness, or Of pulmonary disease. Cold and
damp are very depressing almost much as
excessive heat, and protective medicine is quite
as needful in winter in summer. The CONNER
cial stimulants unwisely taken in the form OF
drains to keep out the cold i" have precisely op-
poste effect to that produced by Hostetter's Btters
Their first result is succeeded by a reaction which
deVitalizes and prostrates the system while, con
the other hand, the tonic and vitalzing operation
Of the great vegetable invigorant, is not only inn
reverse nervous action. The physique is strength
the stomach reinforced and these conditions COM
tinue. Ii dyspepsia or rheumatism, biliousness,
or intermittent fever, general debility,
Gus weakness, is present in the system, sxpen il
with this pure and harmless antidote, which is not
only Invaluable preventive of sickness, but also
. remedy for large class of disorders. feb4
