Progress of the Trial of Anderson for TForgery at New Orleans. A Number of Witnesses Bwear to Various Altorations in Returns, IN WASBIHINGTON, RFPORTS TO BECUNE A TRANSFER OF THE RE. TURNING DOARD CASES TO TUE UNITAD STATES COURT. Svecial Dieateh to The CAlgao Tridune, WASiINGTON, D. C., Jan. 31.—The members of the Returning Board have made another at- tempt to freo themselves from trinl by the Court naw hearing thelr case, and to secure the transfer of their cnse to the Clrenlt Court of the United States. A messenzer arrived yes- terday o lay the matter beforo Justice Bradley, of the Supreme Court, who la nssiened. to the cireult which includes Loulsiana, The papers recite all the different phases of tho case, and the reasons for asking a transfer from the State to tho United States Court. The papers nlso sct forth the evident unfatrness n nll the pro- cecdings attending the indictment and se- lection - of the panei aud drawing of the Juey, and other rcasons why a fatr trial contd not be had fn the State Court, The papers now brought hereare made the basis of au application for a writ prohibiting the State Juage fromn presiding as Justice of the Circuit Court of this District, and directed to the Judgo of the State Court now trying Gen. Anderson, commanding him to SUSPEND THE TRIALS of members of the Roturning Board until the Judges of the United States Cirenit Court shall determine whether tho case ought not be trans- terred to thelr Court. The grounds of this application to Justice Bradley arc based upon a construction of the State jaw, under which ft Is clalmed that when thoailldavits aud other papers uoon whigh the request for transfer to the United States Court were Inld hefore tho Judge of tho State Court, it beecame the duty of the latter to send them at once tu the United States Court as o matter of routine, and that the question of transfer was one, under the statutes, to be de- cided by the United States Court alonc, and ouo that a State Court had NOT THE LEGAL RIGHT TO CONSIDER, The petition also asks, 'n additlonto the writ of prohibition, an orger to the State Court to cer- tify the whole record in that Court to tho United Stntes Court. The case as prepared for presentation to Justics Bradiey bos been exam- ined by prominent lawycrs nud pronounced to be rn proper form to accurately sct forth the clalma wade under the stutute clted, and the whole matter has been placed fn Jus- tice Bradicy's hands for examination and action. It is not Mkely in so grave a case he will decide without full énlcn:ncu with his associntes on the bench. By this means members of the Re- turning Board hope they mny obtatn an order for the transfer of theircages from the Stato to the United States Court. In case Justice Brad- Tey should grant the writ and the order asked for, it wonld devolve uvon the General Govern- ment to enforce the decreo of the United States Cirewtit Court, which would involve the linwme- dinte abandonment of the trial of Gen.
