Pam, July 10.—The Municipality of Paris entertains next week on a scale of unparal- leled magnificence. Delegates will be sent by every provincial town to witness the mili- tary ceremonies at Longchamps. An enter- talnment- will be given in the Palace of the Tribunal of Commerce, which shows that those engaged in trade ‘are well affected toward the Republic. The popular enthusiasm is tremendous as the national fete approaches and money flows trom the working. classes into the district - Mayoralties to cover the expenses each arron- dissement incurs for its local festivity. High society is emizrating enmasse to the country to spare itself the mortification of witnessing the splendid evidence of the Republican victories which the féte will present, The influx of provincial and foreign visitors 5 setting in, and the hotel accommodations are iniserably insufficient, while the police re- strictions cannot be relaxed, in consequence of the Soclalistic agitat in Russia and Germany. Gen. Pitt, President Grévy’s sec- retary, has received %0,000 applications for seats at Long chains, with 36,000 of which compliance is impossibte. DEATH OF A SENATOR. To the Western Associated Press, aa, Panis, July 10.—-Paul Broca, the eminent surgeon and anthropologist and author, who in February last was elected life Senator as the candidate of the Extreine Left, is dead; aged 56 years. AMNESTY. The net result of the voting on the Am- nesty bill isthat the Senate, instead of ex- eluding all‘the Communists condemned for assasination and incendiarism, makes excep- tions in favor of those condemned by de- fault, of those not sentenced to deatn or hard labor, and of those who, though so sentenced, have had their. sentences commuted. This action includes Rochefort and Blanqui, and” the ringleaders who escaped. Those ex- cluded will receive pardon and be allowed to reénter France, though they will not be restored to civil rights. THE NATIONAL FETE DAY. As the national féte day, the 14th of July, approaches, railway trains with pleasure parties are arriving, and high society is emi- grating. The Bonapartist newspapers ad- vise their feaders not to participate in~any way in the festivitics,.a circumstance that -stimulates the Republican ardor. Arrange- ments for iluminations, fireworks, ete., throughout Paris are making on a most liberal and extensive scale. Each arrondisseinent will do all it can in- dependent of the Municipal Council. Pri- vate subscriptions will pay for fireworks and yas. The greatest festive splendors will be in the east end, where the Place du Chateau d°Eau will be transforined into ‘a kind of national altar. A pyrainid covered with turf will be built over the fountain on the spot, and oa {ts summit will be placed a cast of Murice’s COLOSSAL STATUE OF ,THE REPUBLIC. The height from the base of the pyramid to the crown of the statue will be seventeen metres, Around the pyramid there will be Venetian masts bearing shields of the city and natiunal flags. The outer rows of masts will sefve to connect the festoons of lights, numbering 6,000 gas jets, and 1,500 metres of transparent Janterns,. . The e de Bastile will be illuminated exclu: with electricity. The Column of July will be left in obscurity, while the light will be projected on the figure of lib- erty on its summit, <All the eastern boule- yards and avenucs will be bright as day. -A monster orchestra in the garden of the Tuileries will be led by M. Pasdeloup. Elec- tric lights will be thrown on the fountains laying in the Place dela Concorde. ‘The Pa ce of the Municipal Council will be brilliantly decorated, illuminated, and escuteheoned with republican shields. ‘The Arc de Triomphe will be the scene of brilliant pyrotechnics. One piece, represent- yrotechnic fountains isible many leagues. The other points for the displays of fire- works will be Montmartre,-Buttes de Chau- mont, Pantheon, Lois de Boulogne, and Place du Trone. On the latter will be ex- hibited a piece representin; which will tumble down, and on the ruins will rise the July Column and Genius of Lib- erty. Forty thousand delegates from country eommunes will be housed by the officials of the city and arrondissements. POSTPONED. * The Government.seems disposed to sus- pend the execution of the anti-Jesuit decrees against other religious orders until the legal tribunals have decided on the case of the Jesuits, The question of jurisdiction has stil! to be heard before the Tribunal des Con- flits, a mixed body, composed of a Judge and members of the Councii of State, under the * presidency of the Minister of Justice. ‘AL PASSAGE. The Chamber of Deputies to-day voted the Amnesty bill in the.form in which it was adopted yesterday by the Senate- GREAT. BRITAIN. . ENGLISH POLITICS. Lonpow, July 10.-- 33 week for the Government. The lJong- smoldering symptoms of a Whig revolt broke out with the Marquis of Lansdowne’s resignation. It was due ostensibly to dis- satisfaction with Mr. Forster’s Irish Compen- sation-for-Disturbance bill, but it is doubttul whether that alone would have produced the crisis, It is known that sharp discussions bavetaken place in the Cabinet regarding the general policy of the Government on questions relating to land. The Duke of Argyll’s resignution at one moment was threatened. The Earl . Spencer’s wags also apprehended. The Whig Peers view with profound discontent what they consider the radicalism of Mr. Gladstone on several social questions. The Duke of Argyll is not less conservative in such matters than the Tories. The Earl of Derby's recent allegiance to the Liberals is in danger of dissolving. The Tories open- ly allege that he intends to jead the opposi- tion to the Irish billin the House of Lords, and they hail Lord Lansdowne’s withdrawal | as the forerunner of % FURTHER RESIGNATIONS, the Duke of Argyll inciuded. Tie Ministers the Bastile, | 4 Gerrish, who came. over say the Cabinet is intact. Lord Lansdowne’s secession is regretted, but it is important only if followed by that of more considerable men. Lord Lansdowne, though able, sincere, accomplished,and a goodad ministra- tor in the India Office, is the head of a powertul family and a large Irish proprietor, and a Liberal only on purely political ques- tions, belongs individually to the third rank in political life, and exercises slight influence over public opinion. He made the palpable mistake in political tactics of choosing for his resignation the moment when the: Gov- ernment was offering concessions to the land- lords. THE IRISH PARTY INFURIATED. Mr. Forster's acceptance of Mr. Law’s amendment infuriates the Irish party. Mr. Parnell has'made two speeches, in which he bitterly attacked Mr. Forster, withdrew his support from the Government, and Invited 1 Tory alliance to throw out the bill. The truth is that Mr. Parnell hoped to extort a measure enabling tenants to defy their Jand- Tords, and resents a modification which in sures an equitable adjustment of the con- flicting claims of jandlords and tenants. Lord Lansdowne on one side and Mr. Par- nell on the other represent extreine views and irreconcilable interests. The Government is honestly endeavoring to hold the balance between the two. Meantime, obstruction, subtle but systematic, and practiced jointly by the Tories and. Irishmen, has. brought public business to a state where Mr. Glad- stone is obliged to hold over the House the ‘menace of a continuous session to August or September. 7 * ‘Mr. Redpath reports that his investigations during the week show that while ACUTE DISTRESS STILL EXISTS in several parts of Western Ireland, the area of the famine has largely diminished. He declares expressly that no further contribu- tions from America are needed exceptiny funds already in dank, which _ should be forwarded: immediately. The Mansion House and Duchess ‘of Marlborough funds are both low, but it is believed that the balance in the hands of the Land Lrague, andthe Herald Fund Committee, and the Catholic hierarchy is sutficient to relieve the existing distress until the distribution of the Government grant. Famine and: typhus- fevers, both owing to inadequate diet, are again in the County Mayo. Early pota- toes are nearly ripe in the lime- stone districts of the west. Another month will be required for the thwest crop, which is a good one. Evictions are multiplying in the West. In various West- ern counties the Fourth of duly was cele- brated by the peasantry. The spring exodus to America is nearly over. ; M. CHALLEMET-LACOUN’S SPEECH at the Mansion House, though much ap- plauded, scarcely diminishes the hostility shown him in the fashiohable world. The marked colduess toward him thus far is due largely to the persistent cabal formed against him by the subordinates of the Legation, who, _ belongin, to the Legitimist- Clerical partys _ resent — bitterly the intrusion of _ a Republican in the sacred circle of diplomacy. Personaily M. Challemet-Lacour makes a favorable -im- pression by distinguished manner and brill- |. iant conversation. Mr. Lowell was among the first of his colleagues to welcome him. He declares that he desires to show always regard and respect for an Ambassadoragainst whom nothing is really alleged but his sin- cere Republicanism. 2 « MR. LOWELL ‘ has giyen fresh proof that he has_ the inter- ests of literature at heart by presiding yester- day at the banquet of the Index Society. His speech is much praised by En- glish writers for its aptness, genial common seuse,, intimate. “knowledge of “ the — necessities which occasioned the formation of the Society, and its hearty expressions of good will to England. Resolutions continue to pour in from im- portant constituencies and associations in sup ore of Mr. Briggs’ Parliamentary motion against * THE NAPOLEON MEMORIAL. Sir Wilfred Lawson presides at a meeting on Thursday at St. James’ Hall to pie against the memorial. Mr. Briges has received assurances of support from r. Breres- many Cunservatives, including M ford Hope and other influential High Church inen. Heis sanguine that he will elicit a sufficient expression of opinion to supply Dean Stanley with an excuse to CANCEL HIS PERMISSION to admit the monument to Westminster Abbey. The Government will probably neither support nor oppose officially Mr. Briggs’ motion. OPERATIC AND DRAMATIC.

To the Western Assoctated Press, Lonpow, July 10.—After the suspension of the sitting of the. House of Commons last night the Home-Rulers held numerous con- sultations. It is said to be the settled inten- tion of Parnell and his followers to Oppose the'third reading of the Compensation bill if the amendment of the Attorney-General is carried. WIMBLEDON RIFLE MATCH.

THE FEELING IN UtELAND. Dustry, July 10.—The resignation from the Cabinet of the Marquis of Lans- downe has produced a deep impression here, both among the opponents and support- ers of the Compensation-for-Disturbance-in- Ireland: bill. It is regarded by the former with great satisfaction, and significant of the protest against the bill within the ranks of the Ministry. Supporters of the measure are dissatisfied. The Attorney-General for Lre- Jand hus civen notice of anamendment, which they think betrays weakness on the part of the Government. The Land Committee is aroused to more energetic action in opposin: the bill, and increased efforts are use to combine all interested in the pro- tection of property to defeat “it. ta special —_ meetin of the Comittee, letters were read from neblemen and gentlemen strongly urging the necessity of using every exertion ‘to bring under notice of the Government and of Parliament the in- justice it would entail on land-owners. It was resolved that further petitions be pre- sented in both Houses of Parliament, not only from Iand-owners, but from representa- tives of the banking, insurance, and comumer- cial interests, and from members of_ the learned professions. Mectings of the Com- mittee are attended by land-owners and others representing all political parties, and the most cordial union prevails among them. The land agitators profess to regard the bill jief Secretary for Ireland, which has defection from the Ministry and filled and-owners with alarm, as a very CA KICKING RIFLE. Frank Hyde, writes Col.

At a meeting of the Trustees of the Duchess of Marlborough’s Irish Relief Fuad, very encouraging reports of the improved condi- tion of the West of Ireland were given. The Registrar General read the returns for the “last ten years, showing that there is nothing remarkable in the prevalence of fever in the Swineford District, which is epidemic. GERMANY. ALSACE-LORRAINE. Bens, July 10.—The resignation of Her- z0g, Secretary of State for Alsace-Lorraine, has created much surprise, but at the same time has given general satisfaction. Herzog was on many points opposed in opinion to Governor-General Von Manteutfel. The Emperor has fully acknowledged the merits f Herzog, but it is believed no successor to fim will be appointed. It is also sald Count William Bismarck, who has been acting as a kind of private secretary to Governor-Gen- eral Von Manteuffel, will not return to Strasbourg. TURKEY. . A NEW MINISTER OF WAR. ConsTANTINOPLE, July 10.—Hussien Husni Pasha has been appointed Minister of War, replacing Osman Pasha. Several important changes will be made in the staff. SHOT AND SHELLS ORDERED. An order has been received at the Imperial Gun Factory to supply immediately 150,000 shot and shells for field guns. It is esti- mated that two or three months will be. re- quired to execute the order. QUARREL BETWEEN BRITISH OFFICIALS. The British Ambassador has withdrawn his confidence from Sir Alfred Sandison, the Oriental Seeretary of Legation, and it ig. re- ported that he has taken the Embassy’s confidential cipher out of his hands. The quarrel causes much comment. It is be- lieved Sir Alfred Sandison will shortly quit his post. TO REMAIN. The Prince of Montenegro has consented to his representative remaining here for the present. A FAVORABLE IMPRESSION. ConéTaNTINOPLE, July 10.—The removal of Osman Pasha trom the ‘Turkish Ministry of War has produced a very tayorable impres- sion here. It is regarded as indicating a dis- position on the part of the Sultan in favor of peacefully settlmy the pending questions. It was at first reported that Osman Pasha and Dervish Pasha, .who was also dismissed, were lodged in the barracks, and would be interned in the Provinces, but_it has since been ascertained that Osman Pasha will re- mainin Constantinople as Marshal of the palace.

The east-bound freight shipménts by rail during the past week weré‘about the same'as the week previous, showing that the vessels continue to take the bulk, of the business. As long as’ the' vessel rates ‘remain cuough lower than the rail rates there'is nd'prospect of much of an increase in the shipments. ‘The railroads, however, would rather: conu- tinue to do‘asmall business at highly remy- nerative rates than a large one at low and less profitablé figures. during the summer, and there is therefore no earthly prospect of lower rail rates than the present ones, unless } the meéeting at Saratoga which is to’make @r- rangements for the admission of the Chi- cago & Grand Trunk into the trunk-line pooling arrangement should fail to’ accom- plish_ thé object for which it has been called. In that event a fight between the roads now in the trunk line pool and the Grand Trunk cannot be avoided, and.a gen- eral cutting of rates will result. Charges of cutting of rates by some_of the fast frofght jinés running over the Vanderbilt roads are now belng inade. But, even if true,’ this does not indicate any contest between the roads now in the. pool. The . Vanderbilt roads have been largely behind in their regu- lar percentages for some months past, and if they have made special rates to induce ship- ments over their fines, it has evidently been done with the connivance of theother roads, in order toallow these roads to catch up in their jarcentages. The Pennsylvania Company's ines and the Baltimore & Ohio would rather have the Vanderbilt roads -catch up in that manner than turn over a portion of their business to those lines. ‘: ‘The statement of shipments of the past week includes for the first time the bu 5 done by the Chicago & Grand Trunk, which makes it appear as if there had been an in- crease inghipments of about 5,000 tons, but as the Chicago & Grand, Trunk is credited with having done about that amount of business, the showing is about the same as the week before. a ‘The total amount of flour, grain, and pro- visions carried during the week ending July 10 (inclusive Grand Trunk) was 35,521 tuns, while the shipments for the week. previous exclusive Grand Trunk) amounted to 939 tons. | : The following statement shows the amount of business done during the past week by the various Eustern roads from this city: Grain, | Prov’s, tons of | Totat 20001b.| tons.

The other stockholders began proceedings and suc- ceeded in getting the sale set aside, and 2 stipulation was entered into giving the Chicago & Iowa until Jan. 1, 1880, to pay back the interest and. all running expenses, ete., arid ff the Receiver could show on -that date a compliance with such stipulation the road was to’be returned to the Company. It isclaimed by the Cpmpany that the Receiver has fully. complied with those stipulations. March J, 1880, the parties representing. the City of Aurora commenced proceedings against the stockholders, and secured. an in- junction in the Kane County. Coutt,, and electeda Hew Board of Directors. Thereup- onl, E. Hinckley and others of the old Board caused & quo Warranto to be -filed against the Aurora Board. A demurrer was filed by the latter, which -was overruled by Judge Rogers and the information sustaingd. While this proceeding was pending Judge Blodgett, of the United States Cirenuit Court, ordered the Chicago & Iowa to be turned over to the Aurora people, and accordingly the Receiver gave up possession to those parties. The Hiinekley Buard then filed a bill against the road in the Ogle County Circuit Court,.and the Roveiver was reappainted ‘and ordered to ke possession. Mr. Alexander, who had een appointed General Manager ‘by .the Aurora people, gaye up possession without a contest, and Receiver ‘Holcomb -.again as- sumed -control. The Receiver was then hauled before Judge Blodgett on the charge of contempt, . but the Judge discovered that, inasmuch as he kad.com- plied with the order of the Court and turned { over tie round to the Aurora people, there was no contempt in his‘again taking charge when ordered to do so by another Court. Thus the matter stands to-day, and the’Re- ceiver ig still in possession, - Cee It seems, however, that the Hinckley Board are not quite certain that they can hold on to the property, for itis learned that they are now trying to sell out their ‘interest to_an- other party. It will rather surprise the Bur- lington & Quincy speonle and the Aurora Board to learn that the party which is trying to buy the road is none other than the in- domilable and energetic Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad “Company, which has lately succeeded in getting several valu- able Northwestern roads upon whith com- peting lines had a longing eye. The Milwan- kee & St. Paul strikes the Chicago & Iowa at Forreston. General-Managér Merrill, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & _St. Paul, it is under- -stood, made a trip over the road last week to: take an inventory and see what the property will be worth to him. Lf this roagl gets away with the Chicago & Iowa it will bea severe blow to the Burlington and Illinois Central, both of which roads could have made excel-. lent use of the line. Itis now used by the Illinois Central, in-conjunetion with the Bur- lington to Aurora, as its Chicago connection. with its main line at Forreston. The St. Paul only a few dass ago got away with the Mineral Point Road, which has been a valu- able feeder to the Hlinois Central, and,- if it should now get away with the Chicago & Towa Raflroad also, it will he able io inflict serious damage on the Illinois Central main line, which will be hemmed in on all sides by the Milwaukee & St. Paul. - 4 THE MEXICAN CENTRAL RATLWAY. To the Editor ef The Chicaco Tribune, Cricaco, July 10.—An tinpression exists to some extent that this Company has no legitimate grant in.

WHOLESALE REMOVALS. * Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. . Dernorr, Mich:, July. 10.-A few days ago J. F. McClure, Assistant General Passenger Agent of the’Detroft, Grand Haven & Mil- waukee Road, was removed by General Man- ager Broughton, becatse of theft of tickets by a clerk in the employ of the road. Then followed the anhouncement that Assistant General Manager Alfred White had resigned. ‘To-day it-has been. broiight out that Brough- ton has set the guillotine in motion, and not only remaved Air. -White, but, it is alleged, has decapitated other officers of more or less prominence. The cause of these wholesale re- movals is notknown,” and can’ only ‘be at- tributed to Broughton’s idiosyncraciés,as all. the. deposed officers are first-class. railroad men, who have been connected with the road almost from.the date of its organiza- tion. They are reticent on the subject. Mr. White is succeeded by John Button, with the title of Resident Assistant Manager. ~~" /+,\ ARE, NOL BOUND..
