CONSPIRACY AGAINST ANDERSON.

THE CONVICTION IN NEw-ORLEANs CREATES ASTON
IsHMENr AND INDIGNATION IN WASHINGTON.
lBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON. Feb. s.-The convection of General
Anderson in New Orleans has been the one subject
of conversation in Washington political circles to-
day. The announcement of it was received with
establishment and profound regret. and, among Re-
publicans. with indignation.
This conviction for the alleged alteration of the
Vernon Parish returns is looked upon by all Repub-
leans as travesy upon justice. Especially does it
appear when it is considered that the alteration
is pretended to have been made after the Returning
Board the true Vernon Parish returns TO be
opened in the presence Of the Republicans and Dem
ocrats from the North. who went to New-Orleans TO
witness the counting of the vote that the Return
Mr. Board caused the returns to be recorded and
printed both in the daily records of the boards pro-
ceedings, and in the public journals and that the
board has left to this very date in its records, the
true returns from Vernon Parish. Besides this all
the evidence taken in the trial and reported in the
dispatches Of the Associated Press failed TO connect
General Anderson with any such pretended altera-
ton.
is considered by Republicans as mockery of law
and part of conspiracy to convict In furtherance
of partisan plans In the most conservative Admin
istraion circles, and in those which have done and
are doing most to allay sectional and party annos
ties, these prosecutions are deemed as attempts TO
gused under the forms of law. The feeling is gem
eral that the time has come when the whole country
should demand that the wrongs being done under
the name OF law shall cease.

MORE LIGHT ON THE TERMS OF PEACE.
LONDON, Friday, Feb. g. 1878.
Official information from st. Petersburg gives the
detailed peace bases They are in substance,
identical with those telegraphed in these dispatches
on the Sd instant, as follows: l. The erection OK
Bulgaria into prlncipality 2, war indemnity OF
territory compensation; 3, the independence OF
Roumania, Servia and Montenegro, with increase OF
territory for each 4, reforms in Bosnia and Here
govna; s, an Interior understanding between the
Sultan and the Car regarding the Dardanelles; ana
@, the evacuation Of the Danubian fortresses ana
ErZerum. According to the above ofnclal inIornia-
ton there are only five conditions, the evacuation
of the fortresses being part Of the armst,ce con
tOns not those OF peace. The fifth condition also
provides for the negotiation OF final treaty, at
either Odessa or SebastOp0l.
MORE SURPRISES POSSIBLE.
The Vienna correspondent of The Times, comment
ing on the Russian occupation of the defensive lines

there is q machine just going into use which turns
