and talent. The audience were carried

SENTENCE OF RETURNING. BOARD AMBER.
soN.--Ne'0 Orleans, Feb. 25.-Tholnas C.
Anderson was called before the bar this
morning. The motion in arrest in iudg.
ment overruled, and when asked if he had
anything to say before sentence, Anderson
said that he considered his case a cruel per.
secution under ths forms of the law tbnt
he was in the power of the court. and
ready to receive sentence. Judge Whit.
taker answered that the accused had had a
iair trial. before an impartial iury, and that
the verdict was fully justified by the
evidence. He then sentenced Anderson.

IT was expected that peace would be
signed between Russia and Turkey on
Monday. y......The Russian demand for the
surrender of the Turkish feet has been re.
fused. The Austro Hungarian peace and
war parties are very active, the peace party
being strongest among the Austrians. 1t
IS now thought that the new Pope is not
so liberal as was supposed, and that lie will
remain secluded in the Vatican. The
Grand Duke Nicholas arrived with mill.
tary escort at San Stefano on Monday, to
sign the peace protocol with the Turkish
officials. The Cretans have begun hostili.
ties on larger scale. Lord Derby has ex.
pressed the hope that Russia will not
persist in demanding the surrender of
Turkish ironclads. lie defends the neutral
policy Of the Government. and says it cx.

HE EUROPEAN QUARREL.-The news
from Europe is still most threatening not.
wlthstanding the pacific impression made
oy the speech of Prince Bismarck. II
seems evident that the defiant attitude Of
England has inspired the Porte with n
hrmer temper. The conditions of peace
remain unsigned; the Sultan refuses to
surrender his navy, and hesitates and bip.
giles while the Car is nassing fresh levies
OF troops in Bulgaria. Tie Russian Govern.
ment undoubtedly impelIed by the pres.
sure OF the war party in the Empire and by
the clamors of the soldiers, again threatens
10 occupy Constantinople. England and
Austria are rapidly gathering together men
ana material of war. The proposed con.
terence OF Powers, which is to assemble to
CONSIDER the terms Of peace to be agreed
upon by Russia and Turkey, though def.
niteIy assented to by all the parties to the
treaty OF Paris, has not avaiIed to ston for
an instant the steady preparation for war.
Happears certain that Austria and England
might now with safety undertake to curb
the pretensions of Russia without fsorino
anything more serious than diplomatic re-.
monstrance from other Powers Tho
French army has become again such n
powerful organization that the neutrality
OF France may be counted upon to insure
the neutrality Of Germany. This revival of
the power OF France is the hest guaranty of
peace that now exists. Itlimits the aggres.

~ the diplomatists held all the cards. IL
IS probable that peace would be very soon
established. The strain upon the fnances
OF Russia is enormous. Austria is already
deeply in debt. As in the United States
there is universal industrial stagnation and
commercial depression throughout Eurone
Any advantage reaped from war would he

understand. But the people have got their

SOME of the banks in various parts of the
country are taking the precaution in max
ing loans to stipulate that payment shall
be in lawful money of the United States
which shall not at the time of payment be
OF less market value in United States gold
coin of present standard weight and fine
ness than are now United States legal
tenders" Such a stipulation, as the silver
bill now stands, would protect the banks
against repayment in coin of less value
than greenbacks.

The Indiana Democratic State Conven.
tlon has adopted aplatform which puts the
party IN that State at the front of the
Ireenback movement. They not only want
the retirement of national bank notes and
the substitution therefor of treasury notes.
TO be full legal-tender for all debts unless
deharred by contract, but they declare the
right to issue paper money of this kind to
oe government prerogative. They want
many other absurd things, but this caps
the climax. The Government that holds
IN It's hands the power to make unlimited
issues OF legal tender paper money lacks
no element Of despotic authority.

Another Attempt to Assassinate the EN-
peror of Germany.


BERLIN, June 2-Whle the Emperor was
taking drive this afternoon, some shots, APP
parently proceeding from Il house i'll avenue
Inter den Linden, were fired at him. The
Emperor was wounded in one arm and on the
cheek by huckshot and small shot. The
would be assassin is Dr. Nobling, occupy
ing apartments ut No. Is Inter den Linden.
When his door was forced open he fired upon
and wounded the hotel keeper, and tried to
commit suicide but was secured. The En-
peror's personal attendant jumped into the
carriage and supported the Emperor until the
carriage reached the palace. The Emperor
was conveyed to bed and several grains of
shot extracted causing great loss of blood.
The Emperor suffered great pain, but never
lost consciousness. At { o'clock this evening
no serious apprehensiOhs were felt rs to his
condition.
Dr. Nobling admitted an earnest sympathy
with ultramontanes and socialists, had accom-
plices, and though he had no reason to spare
them, would mention no names just then.
The office of shooting the Emperor devolved
upon him by the drawing of lots, and he be-
lieVed it would be to the public interest were
the head of state to be removed. The town
continues in a state of the greatest excitement
and atflicton. The crime will produce grave
consequences.
BERLIN, June 3-The condition of the En-
peror continues satisfactory The effect of
the news that another attempt had been made
ON the life of the Emperor was astounding.
Outbursts of public feeling went far beyond
manifestations made on the previous occasion,
as Noblng's attempt exceeded that of Hoe
del, in the seriousness of its result. A vast
crowd assembled around the palace and
its way into the building. 1t only dis
persed on receiving satisfactory news of the
EmperorS condition, and warning that their
loyal manifestations might a@gravate the suf
fcring from his wounds. An official bulletin
issued from the palace at $50 this forenoon,
reports that the Emperor passed quiet night
The pain from his wounds has been alleviated
Physicians consider his condition satisfactory
BERLIN, June 5.-EXcitement throughout
Germany does not abatc. Every organized
body in every town or newSpaperin Germany,
and in very many other parts of Europe, have
given pupic and strong expression of horror
at the deed. The Social Democratic working
mems institution has been visited and
searched by the police, and all papers and let
ters seized.
\ decree has been issued proclaiming a re-
gency and nominating the crown prince,

The Potter investigation of Louisiana

that the whole thing is likely to prove

The New York Times of Monday last,

mony before the Potter investigating
committee, says, Anderson referred
in his testimony on Saturday to GER
tain conversations with Gov. Kellogg.
1t turns out that Kellogg was absent
from New Orleans during the time
which Anderson specifically fixes for
his dates. Anderson was appointed
supervisor by Lieutenant Governor
