LOUISIANA.


New Orleans, Feb. 13.-This morn
ing when the motion for a new trial
in the Anderson case came up, the de-
fense filed evidence that the accused
could prove by Littlefield that he never
had any connection whatever with the
forgery and uttering of forged returns,
to which fact Littlefield had already tes-
titled before the Congressional commit
tee in Washington; that Littlefield,
after years absence, had clandestine-
ly returned and hidden himself until
the evidence had closed and the argu-
ment opened, thereby depriving the ac-
cused of his testimony; that accused
can also prove by Col. Zacharie, a
Democrat, shat he was not present at
the opening of the returns from Vernon
Parish, and that the Democratic clerks
often made errors in the returns, for
which there could also have been made
a criminal charge, and that the incor-
rectness of the returning board proceed
ings, reported by Collins, the stenogra-
pher, were often referred to during the
proceedings. On motion, the case was
continued until Friday.

THIS MEANS WAR.
The British Fleet Enters the
Dardanelles.
A Semi-oficial Announcement.

London, Thursday Feb. 14.-The
Advertiser publishes the following in
an official form:
We have reason to believe the Eng
lish fleet has passed the Dardanelles and
is now in the sea Of Marmora. We un-
derstand that Admiral Hornby was left
full discretion as to the force he would
take with him, and in all probability a
larger force has gone than was at first
contemplated. We believe the Porte
contented itself with formal protest.
The Standard and Post confirm the
report that the British ships have passed
the Dardanelles. The Post, however,
gives the number as six.
The rumor that Lord Derby has re-
signed is positively denied.
The Standards leader says England
is ready to act with any or every power
in bridling Russian aggressions upon
their rights and interests, but if all
hold back, we must act for ourselves,
and leave our neighbors to save their
own interests and honor if they can.
Vienna, Feb. 13.-The situation con-
tinues to cause much anxiety. 1t is
positively stated that Count Andrassy
Is preparing note to Russia, specify
ing the points in the Turkish
convention compromising Austrian in
terests.
A st. Petersburg letter from a semi
official source, states that the retroces-
sion of Bessarabia is a personal ques-
tion to the Car and it is therefore i'm
possible for Russia to draw back.
A settlement of the question by the
powers ignoring Russia's wishes would
raise threatening storm clouds.

CONGRESSIONAL.
SENATE.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Kernan pre-
sented memorial of the New York
Board of Trade and Transportation,
signed by the officers thereof and large
number of business men, members OF
that organization, demonstrating against
the passage of the silver bill, and set
ting forth the inconvenience of silver
in commercial transactions. Laid on
the table.
Hamlin reported adversely on the
petition of certain citizens of New
York asking an appropriation from the
Chinese indemnity fund to aid persons
in certain provinces of China, now suf-
fering on account of a famine. He
said the committee was unanimously of
opinion that it was utterly impossible
to get any relief to the sufferers, and
besides, that any attempt TO devote the
Chinese indemnity fund to that pur-
pose would lead to discussion.
Dorsey submitted the following: Re-
solved, that the Secretary of the Inte-
rior be, and hereby is, directed to
report to the Senate at the earliest
possible day, the number of persons
now on the United States pension rolls
in Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Car
olina, Texas and the Indian Territory;
also the number of payments reported
daily to the Commissioner of Pensions
as made to such persons by pension
agents from the 4th day of September,
1877, to the 31st day of January, 1873,
inclusive. Dorsey said that last sum-
mer an order was made abolishing
many pension agencies, and he be-
lieved one result was that many PEN
sioners did not receive their money
promptly. He thought this the most
direct way to right it.
MaXey reported back the resolution
introduced some days ago by Thurman
in regard to increasing the appropria-
tion for the army and equipping the
militia of the several States, and the
payment of certain war claims due
Ohio. He said the bill to increase the
appropriation is now before the Senate,
and the war claim of Ohio should be
considered by the committee on claims.
Agreed to.

dent, which was discussed till the eX-
piration of the morning hour and then

rimon spoke in favor thereof, and Sar-
gent took the the floor at 3 O'Clock and
spoke in opposition to the bill.

Il bill granting pensions on account Of

sions and for restoration to the rolls of
names of invalid persons stricken there

tee of the whole on the Military Acade-
my appropriation bill, the pending
amendment being to strike out the sec
tion prohibiting the appointment of
civilians to the rank of second lieuten-
ants, when no more vacancies occur
than can be filled by the next graduat-
ing class of the academy.
An exciting debate followed, Hewitt
defending himself from the charge
made on Monday by House, that he
(Hewitt) had slandered representatives
of the Southern people.
Aiken reiterated that charge, and
| characterized Hewitt as Il Benedict
Arnold, IL man who had put up nomi-
nee for president and then basely be-
trayed him.
The section which provides that when
a cadet has once matriculated at West
Point, no other appointment from the
same district shall be made during the
term for which such cadet was appoint
ed, if vacancy should occur from any
cause other than death or physical dis
ability, was stricken out.
Clymer offered an amendment pro
viding that only such number of grad
yates of the military academy in ont
year shall be appointed second lieu
tenants as are required to. fill the vacan
cies in that grade existing on July Is
of each year, those entitled to appoint
ments to be determined on the basis o
the graduating class, and hereafter NJ
supernumerary officers shall be attached
to any corps of the army. Graduate
of the academy not attached to tn
army under the provisions of this ac
shall be discharged upon graduation
from the academy.
Reagan offered as a substitute tn
amendment that as vacancies occur il
the academy, every alternate vacanc
shall remain vacant for one academi
term, so there shall be for the futur
half the present number of cadets.

party, is said to have selected Cardinal

Too Much of a Good Thing.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The President
has frankly admitted to several per-

sy will be re-opened, and the admins
tration seriously embarrassed. These
menaces only draw party ties closer.
