ABOUT NEW ORLEANS.
Representative Leonard Asks "W hat

NEW YORK, February II. A Washington des-
patch represents the President as saying that the
trial of Anderson and Wells is a mistake, and
that 1t has been brought about by a small, but ac-
tive faction of mischievous men, such as are in
every community north as well as south. 1t has
not the countenance OF large mass Of the order
fy part OF society, which is attending to its daily
business, and which in New Orleans as well as in
New York and other places, does not quickly
make itself he ard.
lie thinks that these trials are mistake, be-
cause they mislead public sentiment in the north.
making some men angry and others doubt the
wisdom of leaving the Sou tn alone; but he thinks
1t wrong and absurd when, because of such occur
rences, men begin at once to denounce the whole
southern peoples partisan spirit.
The President said he was entirely convinced of
the Innocence OF Anderson, and he certainly shall
not remove any federal officers because they may
be thought inimlcal to politicians in New Orleans,
and should endeavor to protect them from prose-
cutlon. He expects Gov. Nichols will pardon
Anderson.
Stanley Matthews says the action of Of the New
Oflean, people against Anderson is outrageous
aud Is especially unkind to the President, a. he
could no longer place any faith IN their assurance
OF peaceabe intentions. He believed the rule Of
Gen. Sherman and Ben Butler was tue best {,

Miss Anna c. Garlin of Providence, r. l.. adj
dressed the judiciary Committee last evening, in
the Representatives Hall, in favor of granting to
women equal political rights with men. The
speaker was introduced by Mrs. DIR. Qlinby. She
said there were three divisions of the question
political, educational and soci.l She should con-
sider the former, and this she proceeded to do in
a very clear and reasonable manner, in contrast to
the rantings of many Of her sex when stirred to
utter burning words on the same subject For the
present, she thought that the reasonable thing to
ask for would be a constitutional amendment that
women may vote in municipal affairs. as certainly
they have an interest In all matters of local and
social concern. The lady is very fascinating
speaker, and has a charming way of answering
questions. She was followed in brief remarks on
he same side by Rev. DR.. Quinby and Hon.
Joshua Nye. IL I. Cleayes. Esq, of Portland,
begged leave to differ, and offered his objections
in few pertinent remarks. And the great quos-
