Washington, January 23.—A
largo number of petitions were
presented by Senators, from
workingmen in various parts of
the country, remonstrating
against the reduction of duties
ou certain goods, and asking lor
the restoration of the duties on
tea and coffee. Referred to the
committee ou finance.
On motion of Anthony, of

The Returning Board Case.
New Orleans, January 23.—
The members of the returning
board presented a petition to the
Supreme Criminal Court, pray-
ing for the removal of the case
against them to the United
States Circuit Court, under sec
tiou 641 of the United States
revised statutes, on the ground
that the law authofizing the
drawing of juries in and for the
parish of Orleans in criminal
cases operates injustice to the
accused, inasmuch as it places
in the hands of the officers
authorized bylaw to draw juries
powers which enable them to
draw such juries as they may
see proper, and that, in this in-
stance. out of the whole venue
there is not a colored man ; and
for the further reason that, by
virtue of the existence of great
public prejudice in the minds of
the white population of flits
city, the officers have drawn
such a jury are arc believed to
be impressed by this prejudice.
Judge White ordered the appli-
cation to be filed, alni fixed the
case for argument to-morr.ow.
Judge Cullom, of counsel, gave
Assistant Attorney General
Egan notice iu opeu court that
he would apply for commissions
to take testimony of absent wit-
nesses iu behalf ot the accused,
to which Egan objected—first,
on the ground that the defense
had no right to take evidence in
that way, and, secondly, because
it would necessarily operate a
continuance of the case, which
lie would not consent to. Gov.
Wells was present.

The Rumination of Waldron,
as uistriei attorney for.the west-
ern T pnessee clistriot, was le-
jected by the Senate in the in-
terest ot social science. It is
laugiiingly iield that the VVl.ite
Rouse was fully informed, of
Waklroids status in tins respect.
The House is considering the
steamboat bill.
The committees did nothing
this morning.
Washington, January 23.—
In the House, the bill to amend
the steamboat law was discuss
ed, and someu regress was made
in it. It was then laid aside to
hear eulogies on the late Sena-
tor Bogy, of Missouri.
The tSeuate/made several con-
firmations, ot little general and
no Southern importance.
A heavy delegation is here in
opposition to Waddell’s bill lor
the abolition of the western ju-
dicial district court of North
Carolina. The judiciary com-
mittee of the House will give
ihem a hearing to-morrow. Col.
| Reeves will be spokesman in be*
' oalf of retaining the court.
The House committee,on ap-
propriations heard Secretary
Sehuiz and liis deputies, as
against Gen. Hooker, of Missis-
sippi, and James, ol Alabama,
in behalf of the log men of the
South and Southwest, who op-
posed the proposition to appro
priate money to enable Schurz
to continue the prosecution ot
Uie logmen. Hooker and James
contended that the action of
Schurz and hie agents in the
Gulf States was illegal, harsh
and oppressive.
CoLBob Ingersoll argued be-
fore the sub-committee of ways
and means against the tax on
savings banks. He said that it
the government required in-
creased revenue from the banks
let it be raised by a tax on the
profits.
The Senate resumed consider-
ation of unfinished business, be-
ing the resolution of Mr. Mat-
thews, to pay the principal and
interest, of the bonds in silver.
Mr. Cockrell, of Missouri, con-
tinued Ids remarks in favor of
the resolution.
Mr. Blaine introduced a bill
to author.ze the coinage of sil-
ver dollar and to make the same
a legal tender. Ordered to be
printed and lie on the table for
the present. Blaine’s bill makes
the silver dollar a legal tender
in common with gold coin for all
sums up to and including five
dollars, and for all sums exceed-
ing five dollars, the debtor shall
have the right to tender and the
creditor the right to deinand
one half of the amount in gold
coin and one half in silver coin.

London, January 23.—The
.American ship Baring Bros.,
Capt. Thorn dyke, from Norlolk
for Liveipool, came m collision
with the Spanish steamship
Ruiice, Capt. Bietrondo, off Liv-
erpool today. The steamship
sunk, and two of the crew were
drowned. The Baring Bros, is
much injured, and is making

i d. She was entering the river

London, January 23.—The
Times’ Berlin correspondent
says that according to the latest
rumors, the Turkish peace dele-
gates it is expected will refer
the less acceptable points of the
Russian conditions to Constan-
tinonle. In this case the Rus-
sians will advance. Austria
was confidentially informed of
the Russian iutentiotl to ad-
vance in the direction of Con-
stantinople, if their terms of
peace are not immediately ac-
cepted. Austria has waived
her objection to the Russian oc-
cupation of Constantinople.
(Should the Russian intention be
carried out, it is supposed that
1 he Russian peace negotiators
will subsequently demand the
conversion of Constantinople
into a sort of neutral common-
wealth. It is not to be forgot-
ten that this correspondent’s
dispatches have been lately sen-
saiional in their character. He
also says, in an earlier telegram,
that there is reason to assume
?hat the Porte will communicate
ihe Russian conditions to the
European powers, threatening
to accept anything if left with-
out support.
The Times’ correspondent at
Vienna telegraphs that advices
from Constantinople show that
a general panic prevailed there,
and the excitement is houaly in-
believed that
duee the British cabinet to take
a step which would involve a
breach of neutrolity. In a sim-
ilar sense it will be construed
by those who believe that Prince
Bismarck wishes to see the em-
pire involved in a war with
Russia.
St. Petersburg, January 23.—
It appears that tne latest ad-
vices from London and Vienua
are of a rather satisfactory char-
acter. The relations between
Russia and England are now on
a better footing.
The Agence Russe to-day sayg
that the Galos was.well inform-
ed when it announced yester-
day. in a telegram from Vienna,
that Austria seemed to be en-
tirely reassured as to the pro-
tection of her interests in the
approaching negotiations for
peace. The Agence Russe adds
“This consideration has prob-
ably had something to do with
the improvement which -has
taken place in the situation in
London.”
Berlin, January 23— The semi-
official Provincial Correspond*.
ent,in its issue of this afternoon,
says that it perceives in the
earnest and successful negotia-
tions tor an armistice, the prob-
ability of a speedy conclusion
of peace. The article adds;
“Complete peace will not be set-
tled by the two belligerents
alone, and the solution of the
questions which have to be
taken into consideration, can to
a certain extent be effected with-
out a previous understanding of
the European powers, and their
co-operation, but the relation®
hitherto subsisting between the
powers appear to afford good
grounds for trusting, at this de-
cisive moment of the Eastern
complications, that, success will
attend the efforts to bring about
a solution, while fully protect-
ing the interests of a general
peace. A pledge of this seems
to be afforded by tlie wisdom
and moderation of the Emperor
of Russia, his intimate union
with neighboring powers, and
the peaceful disposition recently
manifested by England.”
Madrid, January 23.—The
marriage, of Alfonso and Mer-
cedes, third daughter of the
Duke de Montpeusier, was cel-
ebrated in Atoeha Cathedral,
with great Splendor. There
were present Queen Chiistina
and King Francisco, the King’s
grandmother and grandfather,

The new instructions to the
peace delegates, of which Xzzed
Pasha was the bearer, were sent
mofe on account ol the panic
than for any other cause. The
new instructions, as well as con-
ferring fuller powers, insist
above all upon doing everything
possible to stop the Russian ad-
vance. This correspondent also
mentions that the Russians
threaten to march oil to Con-
stantinople.
The Paris correspondent of
the Times says that the official
announcement has been publish-
ed in Constantinople, stating
that if the negotiations fail
everything is prepared for de-
fense to tlie last extremity, and
advises the inhabitants to be
calm.
The Daily Telegraph’s Pera
correspondent is informed that
the peace delegates are instruct-
ed to make peace on any terms,
so as to stop the Russian ad-
vance.
Reports of the Russian ad-
vance beyond Adrianople are
beginning to attract attention,
but tiie wild statements from
Constantinople do not command
much credit. It was thought
that at most only a few Russian
cavalry could have peen seen in
the direction of Gallipoli.
In the House of Commons,
yesterday, Robert Bourke, Un-
der Secretary for the foreign de-
partment, iji reply to a question
said that the foreign office lias
received no authentic informa-
tion that a strong Russian force
was marching on Gallipoli, hut
it iiad received reports concern-
ing it, the truth of Which it had
no means of judging, that the
Russian troops were advancing
and other dignitaries. The Pope
the King’s Godfather, sent the
apostolic delegate with the
wedding ring, which was bless-
ed by His Holiness, and a case
of diamonds for tne Queen. The
Duke de Montpeusier gives his
daughter twenty-five million
francs, in addition to a great
uuantity of diamonds and a won*
derfully rich trousseau. Aifou-
so gives his Queen several sets
of jewelry, and his portrait set
iu brilliants. Great prepara-
tions for the festivities, which
are to last five days ; there will
also be a six weeds season of
Italian opera. The Queen also
received from her sister, the
Countess de Paris, a magnificent
set of jewels.
