DEFIAST. 87, PETERSBURG, March 30.—The Journal de St. Petersburg publisbes an _article believed to be semi-official, on England’s attitude. Refer- ring to Lord Beaconsficld’s speech in the House of Lords, Thursday, the article says: *‘The balance of power in the Mediterranean is only threatened by the presence of the British ficet in the Sca of Marmora and England’s possession of Gibraltar aud Malta.” The article con tintes as follows: *‘The calling out of the reserves, mnotwithstanding the state- ment that it does not imply war, is another step in the path of provocation. Russia has ful- Tilled all her promises. She did pot insert in the treaty of San Stefano a single stiphlation clash- ing with the intercsts of others or. injuriously affecting them by its reservations. lussiais conscious of having neglected nothing which could secure to the East an era of prosperity, and to Europe long years of peace.

OPINION. Toxpox, March 30.—The Times, in an edito vial, says: *Neither the obiccts Russia pro- clsimed at the outset, nor the events of the war, justified her approach to the Bosphords and the Dardanclies. As Jong as she remains in tbat menacing position, we shall feel that it is necessary to retain our ships in the Sea of Marmora, and so long, consequently, will peace be uncertain. It is Russiv iwho has tres- ‘passed upon the forbearance of England, not ZEngland who has shown a lack of consideration for her. That forbearance has now been strain- ed to its utmost limits, but nothing but nece: sity woula induce us to assert our rights by force, and a timely and temperate concession on the part of the Russian Cabinet wontd, with- out in the least deeree compromising tie inter- ests of Russia, insure the prace of Europe.’ DENIED.

The two bodics deliberate separately, and Count Andrasey, therefore, went to one after the other in order to cive an expose of the zeoeral situation, and to explain the nature of :]hc vote of credit demanded before the final iscussion of the mensure began.

ROUMANTA. THE BESSARABIAN QUESTION. Disvatch to London Tunes, VIENNA, March 15.—The Presse receives from Bucharest an analysis of a memoir on the Besss rabian question which the Roumanian Govern- ment has sent to the Signatory Powers, but which, however, has not yet been received here. Tue Roumanian Government, as may be remem- bered, once before informed the Powers of the position which it bad taken up with regard to his question, while the resclution passed both in the Chamber and in the Senate leit no doubt that the same views were fully shared by the Legslature, which rejected tbe detnand for a retrocession of Bessaravia in exchange for any compensation whateser. ' The present Memoire, which enters more fully into the question, beins by stating that the Cabinet ot St Petersburg has already made an official proposal to tae Government for exzhang- inz the Roumavian portion of Bessarabia for the Dobrudja, but that the Government finds itself compelled to decline encrgetically such a * transaction.” According to the view of the Roumanisn Goveroment, the Powers, in stipu- lating by the Treaty of Paris for the regulation of the frontier towards Bes- surabia and the restitution to Moldarvia of the territors on the lefs bank of the Danube, which biad from of old belonged to thut country, could bave only bad two objects in view: (1) To secure freedom of navigation on a river forming the main artery for the commerce of Central Europe, by confidine the mouths of the stream to a State of eecondary importaace, and therefore dependent o the Sienatory Powers; @) by the restitution of territory “belonging to them from of old, the Principalities were 16 be placed in 2 position to fultill the political mission sssigned them in. the interests of r-:uva.-. The rapldly-increasing prosperity of the Principalitics, since 1858, it s contended, testifies to toc wisdom ot the stipulations then made by the Signatory Powers. The Memoire 1hen points out” how—although Russia. by the treaties of 1512 and 152, by which sne grst eot possession of the mouths of the Pruth and the Danube, guaranteed freedom of navigation and the neutrality of the river—tne marvelous developuent of cotamerce on the Lower Danube only dates from the treaty of 1. By a dimivution, however, of the Roumanian territory on the river, it 1s arzued taat not only tue Principality, but all Europe, would be damnifled. “The _enoire then turns to deal with the statement chag, by the annesation of . the Dobraufs, Nou- mania would still remaiu, as bitherto, in_pos- sessfon of the Danube line and it Delta waters. It points out that both banks of the river from Kalkarash to Brafla are almost im- practicable ou aceount of the marsby ground extending gll along its course, 50 that commu- nication with the Dobrudja and, the sea would be very difficuit fndeed.” The Tetrocessfou of Bessarabla would not only be tantamount to the commercial loss of the whole leit bank of the Danube from Kalkarash down to the mouthsol the river, but the possession of the Dobrudja would be 3 source of embarrasament and ejpense. and possibly of constant danger. The Memuire here probably alludes te the pos- sivility of the new Bulgarian Principality some time o otlier claiming the Dabrudja as having once been mational - territory. 'i".le paper concludes by saylng that, aiter the sacri- fices made Ly Koumania, which might bave merited a better reward, the loss of Bessarabia would excite in the country an irritation which might become vers fatal. “* May Eurove,’ it adds, *‘ which aims at a lastiog peace, by satis- {ving the legitimate wishes ot all. remove this danver of fresh complications! It isthe dearest wish of Rouniania to wortnily oceupy the post of honmor she hotds in her position ar Rhe mouth of the Danube; and it is, there- Tore, the imperative duty of the Government to declare to the Signatory Powers that the iu- dependence of the country, which has been paned by sreat sacrifices, can only be preserved by the undiminished possession of Bessarabia ond of the Danube Delta. . Itis only !n tais way that Roumania ‘could_successfully accom. plish the mission with which, in the interest of the free navization of the Danube, she was in- :fls};d’y the farsighted liberality. of Europe The allusion to the Danube Delta being nec- essary for Roumania’s accomplishing hergmis- £10n on the river ratbier jars, 1t wall bé observed, With the tenor of the rest, which is & plea for the Roumanians keeping what they have, an is rather caleulsted to support the vicw o those Who do mot believe in the earnestness of opposition by the Principality to the wishes of Russis, suspecting her merely of holding out for a higler price. Meanwhile, thore i3 an apprehension in Bucharest that, the stipula- ton rendering the “Treaty, after ratineation bindine on boch parties, will be taken advaniaes of by Russia at once to' occupy Bessarabia, for which, according to the Folitische Corresondens all preparations baye already been made, the T T s SRR whole country from Reni downwards-'befne full of Muscovite functionaries, civil and milltary. ROME. POPE .LEO'S ALLOCUTION. i Loxpox, March 30.—A Times' Rome special says: Pope Leo’s allocution, delivered at the consistory on Thursday, gives Italians geoeral satisfaction. Aliusion to the Church’s captivity is very mild. His Holiness expreszes no inten- tton to struggle for the recovery of his tempo- ralitles. The main stress of the allocution is Iaid oo the relations which it is intended should exlst between the Pope and the Cardinals. The Sacred Colleze typifies the Council of Seventy called by-Moses to be his assistants and advisers in the government of the people of Lsracl. He wishes the Cardinais to be his by- standers and fellow-laborers, end, lest it should be thought that merely unmenning words fell from his lips, lie ex- presses all the reliance be puts on_ tueir wise counsel, trusting apd bezging it may never fail bim. It was the dearest wish of the Couucil of Trent that the administration of the Uni- versal Church should rest on the Council of Cardmats, This, says the Zimes correspoddent, isa clear hint of a return to the old Constitu- tion of the Church, and the reference to the Council of Trent secms plainly intended as a repeal of the act of the Vatican Couneil which, by declaring Pope Pius 1X. mtaliible, entitled him to dispense with the advice of cither the College or the Council, ¥ To theVatican Synod itself, tothe proclamation of tae dogma of infallibility, or of thut of the Immaculate Conception, and to all the acts of Pius 1X., except the reconstitution of the Scot- tish hicrarchy, no ullusion whatever is made iu the allocution. The acts of the deceased Pope lave been sanctioned by the Church and must stand, but Pope Leo s¢ems to think that the least sald about them will be soonest mended. By his choive of Cardinal DI Pietrio, one of the youngest and decidedly most iberal of the Cardinals, a3 Camerlengo, the Pape confirms the bope of those voncilintary views which were always thonght o animate him, and which were expeeted to actuste his policy in his dealing with the civil Powers.

Vance was Chairman of the Public Printing Committee in the last Congress, and conducted the jovestigation of the Government Printing Office. It has been chiarged that the examina- tion was iteelf of such a nature as to nced an overhauling. The records at Washington show thay a considerable sum of money was paid to one of Vances Gallipolis relatives for services asan expert printer, the relative being a miiler by occupation, aud never having scen the iaside of a privting oflice. This fact Wwas developed Te- cetly by the investization that is now in prog- ress in Washington, aud there are those who believe that there was more crookedness of the same sort in Ganger of exposure. The most carcful review of the circumstances preceding the disappearance Igils to reveal any indications of insanity.

Spectal Dispatch to The Trtbune. WasuINGTON, D. C., March 30.—There was a caucus of Republican Seunators this morning for- about two hours. The purpose of the meeting was to consider gencraliy the political situation, with the special reference to the election ot the Senators whose terms are to expire next year, and also as to the President. Nearly all of these Senators, with the exception of Howe and Conkling, were present. There was a great variety of oplnion expressed, and nothing def- imite was determined upon. A considerable uumber of those present thought that the only proper policy for the .Kepub- lican party to pursue is to cut loose cntirely irom the Adwministration, and to cause the public to understand that the President must be without a party, at least so far as the politica! managers 1 the Senate go. This class was extremely bitter, and the things that were said almost pointed to's disintegration ol parties. Dou Cameron and his sehool were—excessively violent,but it was very evident uhat it would not be possible to foree all the Repuulicans vresent tu aeree to any sach policy, It of the cauens was some animated devate and oo detinite action. To the Testern Assoctated Pre WASHINGTY D. C., March 30.- lican Senators’ eld a_cuucus, in Which the course of the Admninistration was discussed with freedom.

C., March 30.~There was another long day given to the McGarrahan case. The only thing that was made perfectly clear was that the case on the side of MeGarrahan is mapaged without any system, and tie Comnit- | teeitsell is procecding with the work with an almost total disrezard of system. There was a long, dreary lot of evidence, desizned to show that McGarrabun was originally entitled to the property, but o single substantial new fact was developed. There seews to be no possible limit to this tiresome controvel Every fact or suguestion upon the subject is already printed in books, and some of it has existed in printed form for & quarter of a century. It is a mass of CHARGES AND COUNTER-CHARGES OF CORRGE- TION and the only thing that the public can full¥ ‘ex- pect to be certain abont is that the New ldria Company has the property; that Billy McGar- rahan has not, and that the whole question‘isan involved viece of rascality. “There was, however, one very serious incident at the session. Elon C. Ingersoll, ex-Congress- man from ilinois, is the principal counsel for McGarratan. He was to conauct the cross-ex- amfnation. The business had hardly began this morning when Ingersoll was eelzed with violent paing about the heart, which subsequently proved to be angina pectoris, the discase from which it {s said Charles Sumner died. For two hours tic suffered mortal, and, it was feared, deathly, agony. but he recovered Iate in the afternoon 50 as to bz removed to his touse. Robert G. Ineersoll and orher members of the family attended the sufferer. LBEFORE THE COMMITTEE. To the Western sssaciuten Press. ‘WasniNeToy, D.

He assisted Peck and Miner fn getting up bids and in gath- ering information on which to base the amount of bids; and in return they provided bondsmen for him.

The lutter object can only point to the invasion of Canada, thus kecping our volunteers at home and depriving. Envland of their services abrond.

VANDERBILT .AND THOE POOLS. The publication of the contract between the Wabash Road and a number of prominent mer- chants of St. Joseph and Kansas City in’ yester- day’s TRIBUNE caused quite a sensation in rail- road circles. Nunberless charges have hereto- fore been brought against the Wabash Road for making contracts ot less than tarif rates, but in no instance could the charge be substantiated, the managers of the raad always denying that such contracts were in existence. Even at the late meeting at the Grand Pacific Hotel General Manager Hopkins denled that he had any con- tracts that wonld not expire a1 the end of the month. ~ Of course a8 matters now stand it is no use for the Wabash to deny any longer that it has violatgd the azreement, and Commission- or Fiuk is contpelied to take action recarding this - matter. 1t is very improbable, how- ever. that the Wabasn will be severely punished, for the probabilities arc that it is backed in the matter by the New York Cen- tral. Without such backing a contract like the one published yesterday could never be carried out.” From what van be learned, it is not the Wabash alone that bas entered into such con- tra:ts, but it Is claimed_that nearly every other connection of the New York Central has similar arrangements renning for an equally long time. ‘There can be but little doudt that the New York Central is sick of the New York pool and aux- ious to draw ont. A dispatch irom Now York rezeived yesterday stated that the city authori- ties were ready to eive Vanderbilt the terminal failities be bas been contending for so long, on condition that Le withdraws from the puol, which is higulv obnoxious to the merchants and people of New York. There ¢an be no doubt that - Vanderbilt will: now embrace the opaortunity oficred to him by the autherities of New York, and withdraw Trom an arranze- ment which has becn ot 5o beucfit to his roa When the arrangement in regrard to the East- bound ireizit was msde a sLort time aso Mr. Vanderbilt held out sg:ivst it to the last no- ment. It will be remembered tuat when the vo ¢ was taken at the Windsor flotel to nool st-Duund business on the same busis as bound busivess, Mr. Newell; the Gen- Manager of the Lake Shore & Mich gan Soutuern, was the only man to vote sgainst the arranzement on the ground that he had no in- stroctious frum Mr. Vanderbilt. Tue facts are, Mr. Newell was iustructed be'Mr. Vanderbilt to vote avainst such an arrangement. Thne Gen- eral Munagers present a¢ that meeling ap- pointed a commitiee to wait upon Mr. Vinder- bilt, and persnade him to come into the scheme. That Committee labored long and cnereetic- ally with Mr. Vanderbiit. and “Hually succeeded in getting him to agree to_the scheme for the term of three montlis. Vanderbilt contended that the arrangement could not work, as the West-bound pool had been anything but a suc- cess, and be could not see_that a similar ar- raugement fo reeard to East-bound business would work any more_satisfactorily. Upon the urgent entreaties of the other managers to give the thing 3 trial, be aereed to submit to it for the term of three months. He evidently bad no idea at that time that tne city authoritics would act so promptly in reward to terminal facilities in New York, and believed that a three months® trial would prove the absurdity of the scheme. But now that he has no other alternative ex- cept to withdraw from the pool or. lose his opportunity in regard to tcrminal facili- ties, he. will undoubtedly let the pool go and’ sccept the chances that are offered b Mr. Vanderbilt has been undonbtedly ant pating a speedy dissolution of the pooling, ar- rangement, and ior this reason he has given permission to his Western cunnections to make contracts for a long time. EXCHANGE OF BONDS. NEw York, March 30. meetiog of the ‘bondholders of the Joliet & Northern .
