ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE WHY A NEW TRIAL
SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 11.--In addition to
the exceptions already on file the Attorney
General is ordered TO show, on Wednesday,
why new trial should not be granted An
derson, on the ground: First, That James
Prince, one of the urOrs who rendered the
verdict in this case notwithstanding the
fact that he stated under oath, in his ROir
diere examination, that he was over twenty
one-years of age, was, and is, in fact, minor
under twenty one years ofage, and as such
wholly incompetent and debarred from act
ing in the capacity of juror. Third, That I.
G.. Anderson was tried by eleven jurors and
not in the mode provided by the Constitu-
tuition. Third, That notwithstanding the
fact that Jeremiah Lincoln, juror herein,
had sworn on his nOtr diere examination
that he was a competent juror and had
formed or expressed no opinion calculated
to effect an honest verdict yet it is suscep-
tible of proof and such is a fact that few
days before the day of trial he openly stated
that Anderson was guilty, that he had no
doubt of the fact and that said Anderson
should be hanged for it, or words to that
effect.
THE CONTEMPT CASE.
The Criminal Court contempt case against
Lane, Tomlinson, WurZburger and Steele
came on this morning. Mr. Castellanos ap-
pearing on behalf OF Deputy Collector Tom
linson stated that as the Collector of PO1t,
General Anderson, was in Jail. Mr.. Tomlin-
sons absence, if the Court should hold him
guilty of cOnte pt. would stop the whole
machinery of the Custom House; he would
therefore suggest that Mr.. Tomlinson's case
should be held in abeyance until the gener-
al Government had made a final disposal of
the Collectors office. Judge Whitaker
granted the request and Mr.. TOmlinson was
released on parole. 1t was explained by
ri II action
was entirely within purview of his duties as
United States commissioner. Messrs. WurZ-
burger ard Steele acted under instructions
of their superiors and in the oDlnion of the
District Attorney they desired TO purse 9
themselves of contempt. Judge Whitaker
will render his decision in the cases on
Thursday.

| published very temperate article COM
nentlng on the dispatch of the British
meet The article says that so far as Rus
sia Is concerned we think that this measure
ought not TO make her deviate from the pol
/ ley she has hitherto followed. Long before
last incidents, which now bring English
meets into the waters of Constantino-
PIE, was eventually foreseen and made
subject of instructions to Commander
In Chief. Ii we are well informed, these
| instructions directed that in case the Otto
man Capital should he occupied bv the In
perlai troops and the British fleet should
appear before the city it should be received
with all consideration due to a friendly
rover, and if necessity for protecting lives
ana property of British subjects should
cause troops to be landed, these should B.,
regarded as welcome auXileries for the
maintenance OF order, as long as their ac-
tlvlty was confined to that purpose Now
that the English fleet is approaching Con-
stantlnople, and there has been given
rendezvous TO the fleets of other great DOW
ers, we may assume that same courtesy will
be maintained between naval and land
torces OF different States if they should
meet on Turkish soil Sixteen months AGO
tins measure was proposed by Russia and
refused by the Cabinet of London. How
much bloodshea and suffering might have
been avoided by the acceptance of that
proposal.
