open to trade is to make a moderate ad-

New ORLEANS, Feb. II. This morning
when the motion for new trial in the
Anderson case came up, the defense fled
as additional ground, that the accused
could prove by Littlefeld, that be never
had any connection whatever with the
forgery and uttering of forged returns, to
which fact Littlefeld has already testified
before congressional committee in Washs
ington. that Little6eld after a years ab:
sence had clandestinely returned, and
hidden himself until after the evidence
closed and argument opened. thereby de-
nriying the accused of his testimony; acs
cused can also prove by Col. Zacharie, a
Democrat, that he was not present at the
opening of the returns of Vernon parish,
that Democratic clerks often made errors
in returns, for which there could also have
been made criminal charge. and the in:
correctness of the Returning Board pro:
ceedings by Collins stenographer, were
often referred to during the proceedings.
Motion continued till Friday.

The Eastern War,


LONDON. Feb. 13.-Last nights an-
nouncement in parliament, have not
appreciably relieved the tension or dinin.
ished the excitement here.
The Pail Mall Gazette of Yesterday
afternoon expressed expectation that the
government would seek permission to enter
the Dardanelles by means of a formal
pledge that the feet should have no other
business before Constantinople except that
declared in Lord Derby's speech of Friday.
The Pail Mall Gazette considered this about
the most perilous and humiliatiug a
position as was possible; it declared it to
De the Imperative duty of the ministry to
redeem the country from this position at
any cost, and demanded such recoustitu-
ton OF the cabinet as would leave no doubt
that it, like the country is of one mind.
The Times Vienna dispatch says on this
subject, what looked yesterday merely
probable seems to-day pretty certain,
namely, that the entry of the British feet
into the Dardanelles has become the sub
lect OF negotiation, ostensibly between the
British government and the Porte, but in
reality through the Porte between Eng
land and Russia.
The Times 10 its leading editorial says,
however desirable compromise may be, it
can only be based upon the reestablish-
ment of some degree of mutual confidence,
and it is necessary to observe that it still
depends upon Russia to take the first step
requisite for this purpose,
ENGLAND.
LONDON, Feh. ia portion of the
militia will soon be called out, and two
coryettes now i'm American waters have
been ordered to join the Mediterranean
squadron
ITALY.
ROME, Feb. 2.-Ambassadors of the
Catholic powers have jointly intimated to
Camerlengo, that if some Cardinals known
for their uncompromising spirits whom
they name. were likely to obtain the suf-
frages of the conclave, the ambassadors
would be compelled to oppose their elec
tions. Camerlengo has found in the Popes
deska sealed packet with instructions for
delivering it into the hands of his scccess'
ors; he also found 100000 scadi. the de:
stination of which probably is designated
in the Popes testament. The Popes
wealth altogether, is said to amount to
l20,000,O00 lire, which is mostly in the
hands of the Rothchilds' al Paris.

CoNsTANTIN0PLE. Feb. 12.-V elk
Effendi said to day that he hoped to COM
municate to the Chamber the peace condi
tions four days hence. He declared that
if the British feet passed the Dardanelies
he would protest and cast the response
bility for the consequences on England.
LONDON, Feb. ia special from
Athens says if the English feet goes to
Constantinople, the Greeks will reoecupy
Thessaly and Epirus.
A special from Paris says it is reported at
the Russian embassy that small Russian
detachment entered Copstautinople yes
terday. The report is not confirmed.
Russia has notified Austria that among
the questions withdrawn from considera-
ton of the conference are the reorganiZa-
ton of Bulgaria by Russian troops and re-
annexation of Bessarabia. This note has
given umbrage at Vienna
The Roumanian ministers have informed
the chamber that the Russians did not
occupy the Danubian fortresses whel
evacuated by the Turks, but occupied
neighboring positions.
Bismarck has notified the parliamentary
leaders that he will postpone answering
the Interpolation on the foreign policy in
i
the aspect of the eastern question.
A Pera correspondent believes that the
British feet has been ordered to proceed up
the straits. He does not apprehend that
/ the Porte will offer active resistance.
A correspondent at Vienna says it is re-
ported that Germany has announced that
she will not send any ships to the Darda-
nelles. 1t is rumored that Bismarck de-
sires to be present at the conference.
Russian officials were yesterday select
ing quarters for the Russian troops 10 Con
stantlnople.
ATHENS, Feb. l2.-All the regular
troops who crossed the frontier have re.
turned to Greek territory. The irregulars
continue to enter Thessaly to keep alive
the insurrection. Rifles are being dis
tributed to them under government super.
intendence. The Greeks seem to have
acted with great moderation during the
short invasion. During the blockade o
Democo the Greek flag remained over the
consulate by order of the commander o.
the Turkish garrison.

CoNsUMPT1vEs TAKE NOTICE

Every moment OF delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicous choice
of a remedy. The amount of testimony in favor of
DR.. scherck's Pulmonic Syrup, as cure for Con
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions of any other medicine. See
DR.. schenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest respectabilty, who
have been restored to health, after being pro-
nounced incurablc by physicians of acknowledged
ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but the
cure is often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which DR. schenck provides for the
purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills By the
timely use of these medicines, according to direc-
tions DR. Schenck certifes that most any case Of
Consumption can be cured.
| DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal
office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must be
| addressed.
