F. Groeart. The Urban Assessorship. Yesterday, a delegation from the redoubtable Tenth Vard waited upon the Governor in relation to the assessor ship of the Fourth District. They were ail colored men, and not much calculated to impress his Excellency as an influential body in Pinchback's stronghold.

They presented themselves as supporters of John Kaiser for the position, though the majority of them had before appeared as faithful followers "of Mr. Thompson, and urged his appointment. The tergiversation considerably disgusted the Governor, and he the committee that he would yesterday make an appointment, and the appointee would not be John Kaiser. Several recommendations have been addressed to him, and some personal interviews had, representing two thirds of the property of Fourth District, urging Mr. Thompson's nomination to the office, and the Governor proposes to accede to the request.

The appointment, however, was not made, owing to the absence of the interested parties, but Urban will probably be relieved to day. In order to make things agreeable, it Is proposed to appoint Thompson assessor and Kaiser his clerk. Obscene Publications. AN ARREST UNDER CITY ORDINANCE NO. 663.

At an earry hour on Monday morning a dangerous break occurred in the Milli ken's Bend Levee, a few miles above Vickbburg, in Madison parish. Neither, the members of the Levee Company nor. fhe Board of Engineers, apparently, re reived full details ef the catastrophe; but it is learned that the crevasse extended through the front and. back levees. The stream' is said to be about fifty feet wide and five feet in depth but it is thought that the crevasse can be readily closed.

Mr. John McGinty, contractor, left for Milliken's Bend yesterday evening with material for closing the break and a large force of laborers. He also telegraphed to the contractors at other points to concentrate their forces at the bend. Under date of April 3d, 4:45 P. B.

McNamara telegraphs from Vicksburg to Mr. John McGinty as olio ws Will cend lumber and 1000 sacks to morrow. Capt. Hughes (contractor) goes to the bend this evening. Break bad yon had better come up." There will probably be received to day full particulars.

Telegrams relative to the matter were sent North yesterday and caused the price of cotton to vary slightly. With regard to the Hickey Levee, the following communication has been received The Hickey Levee. This dangerous locality is now admitted to be threatening a recurrence of the calamities of 1667 and 1874. The levee is washing into holes, and as the aides become steeper and steeper they cave in, running rapidly deeper into the heart of the levee. The inhabitants of that neighborhood have been ruined by the crevasses of former years, and very many plantations have been abandoned and are tenantless.

The few tenanats remaining, if left to themselves, are powerless. .) A moderate expenditure now mignt prevent incalculable loss, and aa all matters of importance must have a commencement and a systen of operation, I make this suggestion, which those inter e6ted.will understand, and I hope appreciate I have addressed a communication to Mr. Michael Schlatre, of Bayou Jacob, in whom I have full confidence, asking that he will examine levee and report to me what he considers necessary to be done for its safety. This information will Ve given to the public If he will undertake to give the matter his attention, the best disposition possible will be made of the means at his command, and a satisfactory account rendered. I will give him all the assistance in my power, and as it is not convenient or to be expected that we could apply in.

person, I would request all who are interested and willing to contribute to the expense of the repair, preservation and guarding of this levee to address me on the subject at their earliest convenience, stating their views. Edward J. Gay. New Orleans, April 1875. THE ANTICIPATED OVERFLOW Opinion of CoL Hardee, City Engineer.

Soundings Below the Bonnet Carre Crevasse. Col. Hardee, City Engineer, hasHneeu interviewed by a Picayune reporter in reference to the fears which have been expressed of a disastrous overflow in the Mississippi River, and from reasons advanced by him. the conclusion is reached that such fears are not well founded and that all published, accounts relating to the same have been very much, exaggerated. He admits that there is a very large volume of water comins down the river, but not unprecedented nor even, very unusual at this season of almost every year, and that there is nothing in the present situation of a majority of the upper tributaries, together with those lower down, which can combine with the present stage of water to produce anything like a widespread overflow.

TheAXtraordinary high and rapid rise of water at Memphis was produced in great part by the extensive cut off made above there, which caused the water to be precipitated much more rapidly upon points immediately below, and this feature always creates undue alarm wherever a cut off takes place. I It is not improbable that some crevasses may occur, as scarcely a year passes with anything like a flood in the Mississippi that some weak points do not succumb, but the decided opinion was expressed that there is nothing in the present situation, to warrant fears of such a general overflow as would be damaging to the agricultural interests of thevalley. to the levee frontage of New Orleans, a distance of about twelve 'miles, CoL Hardee apprehends but little danT ger, as the Bonnet Carre" crevasse, above here, is a great safety valve in taking an immense volume of water into Lake Pontchartrain, would otherwise have to pass our city front. In connection with the Bonnet Carre" crevasse, CoL Hardee is in possession of a letter 'from the United States Coast Survey officer in charge, at present, of surveys in that vicinity, conveying the information that, from careful soundings made, there is found a greater depth or water below the crevasse than above, which is contrary to all theories heretofore established, even by previous obeep vationa in Bimilar cases, and thus aaas an other chapter to the volume pffteaaa recorded of the Great Father of Waters. THE HAMMOND DEMURRER.

A Decision Will be Reached This Morning. A Speedy Trial Asked In the Carey Case. The expectation of a decision on the demurrer in the Hammond case attracted quite a large attendance of persons Interested in the, result to the Circuit Court room yesterday, but. it soon became known that a decision would not be forthcoming, and a rapid diminution in the number of spectators ensued. At the opening of the Circuit Court Mr.

J. D. Rouse desired that pleas of not guilty be entered in the D. M. Carey and Walsh cases, no exception being taken to the formation of the Grand Jury.

District Attorney Beckwith moved that the court make an order to the effect that the parties indicted be present in the us torn House this morning and be there prepared to to challenge the array of grand jurors, or forever afterwards keep silent. The following order vras entered on the minutes of the court And not comes the United States by J. R. Beckith, United States Attorney, and gives the court and all whom it may concern, te understand and be informed that at and during the present term of this court further charges of alleged crime against the United States of America, alleged to have been committed by Samuel W. Hammond, W.

J. Behan, John Thorn, John McWhirter and J. H. Webb, wiil be submitted to the inquiry, examination and finding of the Grand Jury at the present term. That all of said above named person? have, in the matter of the several indictments exhibited against them by said grand jurors, and on tile in this court, by supposed plea in abatement, suggested that certain of the grand jurors of the said panel are not competent grand jurors; Wherefore, on motion of the said United States Attorney, it is ordered that a copy of this 'suggestion notice, together with a list of the said grand jurors, be served on each of the above named persons, to wit: Samuel W.

Hammond, W. J. Behan, severally, and that they, and each of the said last named persons, have leave to challenge the said Jury, either to poll or array to the individual jurors or to the panel, if any cause of challenge, good and sufficient inlaw, they oreither of them have or know, on or before Wednesday, the 5th day of April A. 1876. W.

B. Woods, Judge. Mr. Rouse said he wished the court to fix a day for the trial of the case ef the United States M. Carey that the parties had been Tinder indictment for over a month for conspiracy to defraud the Government, which indictments were the result of a civil suit.

Judge Woods remarked that the accused were entitled to a speedy trial. Mr. Rouse said that the court could fix a day. and the District Attorney could then object on that day to going to trial. He mentioned Wednesday week as a good opportunity to commence the trial.

The District Attorney responded that he had not concluded his inquiries before the Grand Jury, but would guarantee a trial this session. I Mr. Rouse said he thought the District Attorney had plenty of and should be prepared to go to triaL He renewed his motion to fix the case for the 12th. Judge Woods intimated that a speedy trial should be had. The Grand Jury was then discharged until to day.

Judge Woods stated in chambers that he had not quite prepared his opinion on the demurrer, but would render a written decision this morning. It is thought from the motion of the District Attorney that Judge Woods will decide upon the demurrer of the defendants. RACING NOTES. Louisiana Jockey Club. The Morning Gallop.

Visitors at the Fair Grounds Course were well entertained yesterday morning by the performances of the racers in training. The trial runs were numerous, and many of them, were of a character that would have been creditable to a racer contending for a prize in public. A young blood of the Virgil family. owned by Mr, John Tank, of Henderson, (purchased from Mr. M.

H. Sanford, now in England with a number of Ameri can racers.) came on the course clad from head to foot in white raiment, and showed good signs of excellence, both in breeding and acting. He walked about the course for a while, and then casting aside the fine clothes, measured the mile around in beautiful style, showing an elasticity of movement which plainly told that if he had been permitted to move along," the timekeepers would have had a brisk work to do. This colt was second in a stake race at Louisville last spring, when! the world's wonder. Vagrant, came njst to the judges' stand.

He is engaged for both the three year old stakes to be run at the Spring Meetingiere commencing on the 15th of this month. will have the pick of Cottrill's company to extend agamst, besides the tried colts all the wayfrom the far off North. Speculation relative to the result of the contests has and while many claim raverior excellence for the young Virgil, others are fast in the faith that the Alabama stables can't be beaten. Mr. Green B.

Morris, of Missouri, was out with the handsome, gray lately pur chased from the firm of StringfteJfl XHay, of Kentucky. v. Thisiyoungster is difficult to manage, NUiiBEH 71. a i me times witches off op the side track just as Lis ovi erbids mm set sail for a braeae." Another gray, owned in the stables of Wm. Brady, of Illinois, moved quite nimbly a part of the way, but op the turn nar the third qnurter.

where tho Texasj horses were resting between gallops, he bolted the track and charged furiously at the kicking end bf Sam Harper, at missed his aim about a foot and earned near lodging in the fence. His rider, i with the id of thooe in charge of the Tc xSs horses, drove him away some distance down the stretch, where a full grown boy sprang upon his back and forced him to niend his waj s. 5 Missouri brigade, in command of Mr. John 1L Davis, was out in strong' force but, like those who wish their, deeds concealed, they preferred darkness, to light, and finished tie morning drill" before the chanticleers of the neighbor hood were done crowing a glad welcome to tho new born day. Nearly all of the stables were represented on the course in the early forenoon.

The scene was very lively about 8 o'clock, the time selected by most of the trainers' to come out .4 To day nearly pne half ef the horses in; training will be turned, out for a trial. Some will go under orders far only a half mile, w.hjle others wiu'hurry along to the end" of the mileand a few Will double. the trip, as if going for a repeat race. 4 The course, is free for visitors at the, earliest, dawn of day, at which time thsj music of clattering hoofs will begin. SHOT BY HIS A Colored President Elect of a 4 Repubtican Club Fatally VoundecL: The Result of an Election Row in the tlinth Ward.

ttf ti officers ef Yesterday fie'ifetiaD for the Ninth Ward Republican Central (colored) Club took "The canvassing, was carried on in a manner well calculated td create a good deal of ill feeling anions the friends of the different candidates, and in fact such was the excite menu prevailing tnat the election wound np with the shooting and mortally wounding of the President elect, Isnm Nicholas, by Toby Washington, a friend, of Nicholas, and one of the election oom missioners. 1W The election took nlaee at. the wiirwftra Burgundy streets, used as the head 1 quarters of the club. a viwa ui uia crouuig uio vtuiup box was. closed and the hall closed by the three commissioners.

Toby Washington, Jacques Augustin and David Douglas. A large crowd of negroes, together with the three candidates for the Presidency I sum Nicholas, J. W. Edward and P. Pierson (all colored) gathered outside and attempted to.

force open the doors, it is suppose for the purpose of witnessing the counting of the votes. Washington, however, succeeded in making the door secure, and the commissioners proceeded to count the ballots. Just as they had begun their work one of the side windows of the hall was forced open, and Washington, it is alleged, thinking that the box might be seized by the mob, gathered it np. The other two cornmissioners thinking Washington, intended to tamper the returns and secure the election of his friend, Isum Nicholas, pounced upon, him, Douglas wrenching the box from him. and Augustin striking him a terrible blow on the back of the neck.

As soon as Washington recovered from the blow he forced Douglas to relinquish his hold upon the box. 1 At this juncture the 'mob outside, which had been kept at a distance by the police, managed to flank the building, and breaking open oneol the side windows, attempted to rush inside. Washin gton states that he drew Ins pistol (a Remington) to keep them back, and that he was so excited that he inadvertently fulled the trigger, causing the pistol to explode, the. ballet striking his friend, Isum Nicholas, who was in advance at the window. Washington was arrested by Corporal Johnson and locked up In the Fifth Precinct Station, and the wounded man conveyed to his on street, between Morales drq uhart here he was attended by Dr.
