The republican papers consider the changes of the prelects, noted officially this morning, as satistactory. The Bien Publique, howevor, complains of the main- tenance of the Marquis of Fournes, the pretect of the Department of Savoy, The Messager de Paris asserts that this wis due to the Intervention of President MacMahon, who opposed the removal of the Marquis because all the elections in Savoy bave been confirmed; therefore there is no ground for charging the prefect with iMegal interference {n tho elections.

AFRICA. DEADLY ASSAULT ON AN ITALIAN CONSULAR OF- FICIAL—THE WOULD-BE ASSASSIN KILLED— INTENSE EXCITEMENT AND A THREATENING ‘MOB. Loxvox, March 22, 1876, A private letter dated Tunis, March 14, says:— “We bad great excitement bere yesterday in conse. quence of the attempted murder of Judge Puliga, of the Italian Consulate, and the ‘killing of the would-be assassin by the Judge's dragoman. The body was | brought, followed by an immense mob, to the Italian Consulate and the turmoil was so great that the troops were called out to guard the approaches to the Italian and American consulates. They nad great difficulty in keeping the mob back for several hours with fixed bayonets levelled at them. It was feared that there might be a renewal of the fanatical excitement which spread such alarm in Tunis some years ago.”” COURT ETIQUETTE AND CONSEQUENCES. Guigini Paliga is the Italian Consular Judge at Tunis, It ts ascertained from a gentleman well informed in Tunisian affairs that for some time there havo been un- ploasant relations between the Italian Consulate and the Tunisian authorities. Some months ago the Consul neglected to pay an important ceromonious visit to the Bey. The palace authorities felt the affront ‘Kecenly, but took no official action. It is probable that on the 13th Judge Puliga was walking or driving in the city, attended by a dragoman, when the attack was made. BRAZIL. COFFEE MARKET REPORT—SUPPLY MENTS.

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE ARREST OF THE COUNTERFEITERS—THE PROCESS OF MANU- FACTURE EXPLAINED. Witxessarrn, Pa., March 22, 1876 An important arrest of bogus bond makers, traced to Scranton, has been made by the Secret Service Depart- ment of the United States, Some time in the early part of last month information was sent to the Secret Service at Washington that there were a number of | Persons in Luzorne and Northampton counties, of this | State, who were making plates from which bank and | Treasury notes and also United States bonds could be | made. Chief Washburno and Assistant Chief Benson | at once took the matter in hand and came to Scranton, | where they learned that ono W. H. Barr had gone to lowa from there with a number of spurious | bonds. Obtaining a description of him, an officer was | put upon his trail, and, after following him up, suc- ceeded in obtaining an introduction to him. The officer, who represented himself to Barr at first as an insur. | ance agent, soon gained his confidence and finally, | ater exchanging vows of confidence, Barr agreed to take the officer to Scranton, where he said bis friends | would furnish him with all the necessary materials for making plates that would print the best bank note or bonds. On coming to Scranton the officer learned that a named Charles Wintermate, of Port- land, Northampton county, bad = purchasea aright from George G. Winans, the owner ot the pro- | cess, for $1,000. An assistant was despatched to Port- Jand, and Wintermute was secured after having been | caught in the act of selling a thousand dollar bond, Yesterday George G. Winans and W. H. Barr, an | alleged confederate, were also arrested in Scrantot when the former gave bail in the sum of $5, and the latter $2,000, It is said that many | are implicated in this scheme, and tresh | developments are oxpected daily.

Urica, March 22, 1876, William J. Conroy, the peop'e’s witness in the Ger- mond masked burglary case, was shot at and but slightly wounded in the face, at Little Falls, on Tues- day evening. He has been in jail since the trials, awaiting the result of the application for a new trial for the five convieted burglars, when he was again to be used as a wituess ifmecessary.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY—REPUBLICAN MEMBERS AT THE SYRACUSE CONVENTION— THE CAPITOL BUILDING. ALBANY, March 22, 1876, Owing to the fact that many of the republican mem- | bers of the Assembly were in attendance upon the | Syracuse Convention, either as delegates or lookers | | on, the Assembly adjourned to-day, after being in ses- | sion only twenty minutes. A previous agreement had been entered into bya majorityof the democrats and the republicans who were on hand when the ses sion opened that a motion to a‘journ woultl be allowed to pass without any opposition. To the surprise, how- ever, of Mr. Sloan, tne Speaker pro fem., when the mo- | tion was put Mr. Werant, of Rockland, democrat, called the yeas ana nays. Had tho call been sus- tained it would have shown no quorum present, and the democrats might have forced acal of the House. To prevent this the Speaker declared that nota sufficient number of members had stvot up to second the de- mand for the yeas and nays, and declared a motion made by Faulkner (dem.) soon afterward carried. The fact is, that some of the democrats hai not been mado aware of the agreement entered into by some of the members on their own side of the House and tho repub- |b licans, Weiant being among the number. | THE NEW CAPITOL BUILDING has nad a hard road to travel since its beginning, The designs have been tampered with and tinkered by every successive Legislature jor the pasteight years, and now the report of the Advisory Board, recommending an altogethor different treatment of the upper part of the structure, has been adopted by the Capitol Commis- sioners, and the Senate to-day was notified of the tact, Mr. Thomas Fait the architect of the building, finds fault with ‘ali the recommendations of the Advisory Board; but it will bo his duty now ‘to seo’ that they are carried out. It will certainly be a unique example of the com- posite order of architecture when completed. The Commissioners state that the building can be com- pleted, except the central tower and the eastern ap- proaches, for $4,500,000; that by the contract system a large saving cau be mado in the cust of the strnetare and that it will bo ready for occupation January 1, 1879.

In Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin they swear by Tilden. They know what he has done to roform the canals and make low tolls possible, Low tolls on the canals bring down the figures for rail- Toad freight, and the farmers know how to appreciate reform of that kind. As for Tammany Hall opposition, Tilden has little to fear. He has the ivside track now will keep it. If it become necessary he will have the anti-Tammany delegat‘on admitted to the State | Convention. He holds the winning cards and Kelly | Will soon find it out,’* | CATHOLIC CEMETERY FOR WESTCHESTER. | | Father Salter, of St. Raymond's church, Westchester, peared beforo the Committee on General Laws to- day to explain the bill asking for a charter to legalize the new Cemetery of St. Raymond, in Westchester vil- lage. He said that the cemetery was an absolute ne- cessity for the Catholic denomination of Westchester, ‘the poorer members of which find it 80 expensive to e their interments in Calvary Cemetery. A car- riage to the latier place costs $10 and a whole day ts consumed in getting there and back, besides the fact that tho ferries have to be crossegl and the travelling done over rough roads.

BILL FOR LEVYING TAXES ON RAILROAD COR- PORATIONS—IHE REVOLUTIONARY INCIDENTS OF NEW JERSEY. Trevton, March 22, 1876. In the Senate to-day Mr. Schultze introduced a bill for levying a tax upon railroad corporations, Every railroad company by it is required to report, between tho Ist and 15th of October, to the State Comptroiler, under oath, the amount of capital stock, the number of shares, and par and cash market values, with a de- tailed account of the works and structuros, real estate and machinery subject to local taxation, and the whole length of lines within and without the State, The Com- missionet of Kailroad Taxation is to ascertain the true | cash market valuation of all shares of the capital stock on the Ist of October, and the amount of the real es- | tate and machinery. ‘very railroad corporation shall annually pay upon its corporate franchise, at a valua- tion thereof, equal to the aggregate value of its shares eretofore determined, after making the necessery legal deductions, atthe rate ot one and one-quarter of one per centum upon such valuation.

CENTENNIAL NOTES FROM THE STUDIOS, &C.— DIFFICULTY OF OBTAINING ARTISTS’ BEST WORKS FROM PRIVATE GALLERIES. A circular bas been recetved by artists from the President of the Centennial Board notifying those who wish to exhibit works of art that ‘‘the New York State Centennial Commissioners having arranged for packing and transporting works of art trom this city, will send for the paintings between the 16th and 25th of March tion Committee. They will be reoeived at No, 625 Broad- way until the 28th, but after the 25th must be collected at the expense of the artists, Where artists have been disappointed in obtaining the loan of their productions, the undersigned, Frank Leslie, President State Centennial Board, if furnished with s descrip. of and the address of tion the paintings the owners, will make all reasonablo exer. | tions to procure them tor exhibition.’ The latier art of this notice will, if successfully carried out, re- fore the artists from considerable anxiety, many of them having depended on the works which, being their best and in private galleries, they were almost certain plied to refused, unless the works were insured by the artists for their full vaine or a promise made in case of loss or accident to paint another equally valuable. They appear to forget they have any duty to perform toward the encouragement of American art and artis: no New York art patron having given an order foi Centennial picture.that the artist might work at winter of pecuniary embarrassment, such reasons to part with the pictures, even for a few | months, which will show what really has been So we must trust to tne pictures which our rtists may happen to have at present in their studios, and which they must send it, they wish to be represented at the Centennial at all, as very few of them are able, even if they were willing, to take all the risks themselves, atter their pictures have passed from their possession, and allow American art to be judged accordingly. ‘Those who have painted pictures for the Centennial this winter have done so under the most adverse circumstances, being obliged to lay aside more lucrative work lor this purpose, and those who have done good work in past years. and have depended upon that to represent them, should not have the injustice done them of not bemg allowed to appear at their best on this occasion.

HANS VON BULOW'S RECITAL. | The second Beethoven soirée of the above distin- guished pianist deserved a farger audience than was Youchsafed to it last night at Chickering Hall, The Programme was attractive in the extreme. There were four sonatas—the brilliant one in D minor, the second of the three, which, classified as opus 31, were published forthe first time seventy-three years ago; the trying work, opus 100 in E major, dedicated to Mile. Bren- tano; the appassionata, opus 57 in F minor, and the sonate caracteristique, “Les Adieux, L’ Absence et Le Retour,’ opys 81 a, Sandwiched be- tween these were three litle bagatelles, the rondo capriccioso, opus 129, and thirty-two variations on an original theme in € minor. The opening movement of the sonata in D minor, large ed allegro, with its finoly contrasted phrases, which seem to form a species of masical dialogue, was delivered by the pianist with exquisite taste that discrimination in producing éfivot that marks the cultivated player. In the adagio the same excellent qualities were apparent, the throbbing passages in the ba g given with’ the utmost delicacy, The fleet fingers spun out the fairy- like finale without marring its diaphovous texture in the ‘slightest degree, After the outburst of upplange which followed this fine illustration of a noble work ceased the pianist proceeded to a more formidable , the sonata in E major, He bettayed more ner- yousness in this iustance than ever belore in New York, and not a few false notes eseaped nis Tehable fingers, This was apparent in tho | jons in the last movement, especially in the sixth one. While conceding to Von Bilow the most sincero admiration for his remarkable powers as an in- terpreter of Beethoven, we must take exception to an undue fondness on his part at times of playing chords, in which every note should be siruck simul- taneously, in semi-arzeggio form, thus dragging the movement and marring its symmetry. Also a ttle more of the legato ‘and less of tho to style in certain passages would be ac- ceptable. The second movement of the ap- passionata was suporbly rendered by him last night, and the brilliancy of the lest movement was unim- paired, The beautiful sonata dedicated to the Arch- dake Rudolph, one of the few works in which the com- poser hus given a hint of the sentiments he wished to convey through the medium of swect sounds, was the Jast on the bill, Nothing could be more charming and tenderly expressive than the andunte, “Absence.”? In the first movement the faults we have ref- erred to, which occasionally creep into Von Biilow’s playing, were painfully evident. The finale was dashed off with marvellous rapidity, but not with like accu- racy. The little sketches or bagatelles and the rondo did not present the pianist im his most favorable light. We have heard him play the rondo very differently on a previous occasion. The thirty variations on an orignal theme were given with all his wonted fire and dash, and ho seemed fairly to revel in their intricacies. A fine bill will be presented this afternoon, and the sonal opus 101 and opus 106 (ior Hammer-Cilavier), with the thirty-three variations on a waltz of Diabelli will be played on Friday night. JULIUS CHSAR—MR. DAVENPORT'S BENEFIT. If the size of the audience which attended Booth’s Theatre to witness the ninetieth consecutive person- ation by Mr. Davenport of Brutus is estimated, that actor did not really receive much pecuniary benefit however, presented by his friends with an uit of Romau armor, which he afterward wore im Brutue’ tent. Mis acting lost nothing of its | charming, delicate roserve, and the few of his friends | who complimented him were lavish of applause and flowers, Mr. Davenport made a gracetul speech, in which he generously praised Mr. Barrett,without de- tracting from himself. Indeed, Mr. Barrett used his bronchial notes with more than both Lucius aud Mark Antony m: Tt may be well to say that Mr. Davenpo: very kind terms to his frienas who wer referred in sont, MUSICAL AXD DRAMATIC NOTES.

While still a young man he followed the samo occupation at Mutteawan, in this State, and at Ramapo and Sloatsburg. During all this time’ he was studying the machino upon which he worked and bringing to bear upon it for its improvement all the ingenuity of a quick witted Yav- kee mechanic. The result was exhibited by him in 1829, when he produced at the machine works of God- win, Rogers & Clarke, in T’aterson, the “Danforth frame,” a wonderful advance beyond the machinery [al igs used. He at once took the model to Eng- facture to return to | pacehese an interest in the works where his machine jad been built, From that time his life as one of the | leading manufacturers of the country was es- tablished and continued with uninterrupted ery In 1852 the firm took the title of “Charles anforth & Co,’ and added to its previous business that of building railroad locomotives. Sixteen years later the establishment was incorporated, with its present name, the stockholders being the partners in the ola firm. Mr, Danforth was made president, and continued to occupy that position till 1871, when on account of advancing age and infirmity be retired from active control of the business. Mr. Danforth was a map ol extreme prudence, and though he ac- cumulated great wealth he retained till the end the habits of economy which had aided him in the foundation of hw fortunes, | His est which is mostly invested in government bonds and ratiroad securities, is estimated to reach $3,000,000.

Tho circular of Rachid Vacha to the representatives of the Turkish government abroad, under date of Feb- ruary 13, 1876, tends to revive an old doubt concerning the sincerity of the Sublime Porte with reference te the reforms for the Herzegovina and Bosnia, After paying the most fulsome compliments to the Sultan and his good intentions, the document classifies the proposals of the Turkish government, im reply to the Andrassy note, in this way :— First, —Full and entire religious liberty, Srcond.—Abolition of the tithe system, Amchoration of the condition of the farm ul peasant he institution of a local commission, com equal number of Mussulmans and non Mus. sulmaus, to supervise the execution, in general, of all the retorins decreed. Posed of “You have here,’ continued Rachid Pacha, ‘essen. tially the leading ideas of the Sublime Porte, which de not show any sensible difference concerning the matn issue from the form of Count Andrassy’s proposition.” And in his reply to the ambassadors of the Northern Powers the Pacha endeavors, apparently, to envelop the whole matter ina shroud of mysterious phrase- ology. This document is also dated February 13, 1875, and is as follows:—“T have the honor to acquaint you that the Sublime Porte has carefully examined the five propositions concerning Bosnia and the Herzego- vina contained in the despatch addressed by Count Andrassy to the representatives of Austria-Hungary at Lonior, Paris and Rome, which your Excellency ver- bally communicated and read to me. The Sublime Porte having acquired the conviction that the Powers are disposed to exercise, by all the means in their power, a moral pressure hav- ing for object and effect the prompt pacification of the insurgent districts, in order to prevent the complications which might arise from the continuation of the troubles in the Herzegovina, and wishing once more to give a prool of his deicrence for tho friendly counsels of the great Powers, and also from bis sincere desire to restore order aud prosperity among his re- bellious subjects, | hasten to iniorm you of the resola- tion arrived at by His Majesty the Sultan on this sub- ject. The imperial government having noted the friendly dispositions of the Powers above cited, has ordered, ans of an imperial iradé dated the 15th Moubarrem, the immediate exccution, in Bosnia aud the Herzegovina, of four of the five points formulated in the proposition, and declares himself resolved ta put them in force with the utmost rigor in these two provinces. Your Excellency will perceive, on reading the annexed copy of instructions which I bave ad. dressed to the representatives oi His Majesty the Sub tan near the great Powers, that the filtn point hat been replaced by a combination which responds amply to the wants of thése provinces and to the intentions which inspired the proposition relative thereto by Count Andrassy.”” EDUCATION IN GERMANY.
