The Buigarian notables at Tirnova have re- ceived alarming news from the South, which does not presage peace in Roumelia. The Turks have been reoccupying the towns evacuated by the Russians in Macedonia and many reports of excesses committed by them are current. It is asserted that the population of Djuma (Djumaka ?), forty-five miles south of Sofia, are emigrating en masse before the ad- vance of the Turkish troops. There is great excitement in Tirnova. Telegrams on the subject will be read at the riext sitting of the Assembly. The Times’ corre- spondent at Tirnova says:—“Telegranis have Deen received from the vicinity of Adrianople, giving the names of people who were cut in pieces by the Turks in the districts evacuated by the Russians.” AMERICAN MEAT IN ENGLAND. The firet consignment of cattle subject to the new regulations arrived on Friday at Liverpool in the Warren line steamer Brazilian, which has been peculiarly successful in her transport of live stock. “This,” says the London Times, ‘‘is ber second voyage from Boston during the winter, when the Atlantic is rough, without losing a single head of cattle. The Brazilian landed 301 head at the special lairage, licensed by the Privy Council, at Birkenhead. All the animals were apparently sound and healthy, and it is an- ticippted they will find a ready market in Lon- dou and Liverpool as dead meat within the ten days allowed for slaughter. If this expectation \s realized, it is probable that American ship- pers, who are awuiting the result of the Brazil- lan’s experiment, will send s large number of beasts under the same conditions.” THE PASSANANTE TRIAL. ‘The papers contain lengthy telegrams from Na- ples about the Passanante trial. A few points are of interest. The Public Prosecutor dwelt with great emphasis on the alleged proofs that Passanante was not a madman, but an instrument shosen by asecret society to assassinate the King. The prisoner’s counsel made an impassioned speech, declaring that his client was the victim of a corrupt state of society ; that.his mind was insettled by the unlimited freedom of speech, &e., which reached its elimax under Signor Cairoli’s, administration. ‘If,” he said, “Pas- sanante was given time to recognize his error, he would be the first to cry ‘Viva il R6.’” The speech was loudly applauded. MELIKOFF ON THE Uz. The Official Messenger of St. Petersburg pub- lishes three telegrams from Professor Eichwald, dated Wiasowka, Tschoinigar and Nicolskoie, showing that all apprehensions respecting the plague have disappeared, though much disease prevails. General Loris Melikoff appends a declaration stating that 500 persons died out of a population of 115,000, between October and February, in the two pestilential districts of Astrackan. . This is a smaller mortality than is usual irom cholera, diphtheria, smallpox or typhus. General Melikoff affiruns that the epi- domic is now mastered. BISMARCK’S GAGGING BILL. The principal speech in the debate on the Parliamentary Discipline bill, in the German Roichstag on Friday, was made by Herr Wind- horst, the leader of the Prussian Catholic party, who declared that the olericals were ready to support the Chancellor in the struggle against the socialists, but disapproved of the means he suggested. Herr Wind- horst suggested the co-operation of Church and State, instead of the State attempt- ing to crush the socialists with ono hand and to persecute the Church with the other. Main force, he said, was powerless against the social- iste. He hoped he would not live to see the ex- plosion which would follow repressive meas- ares. FRENCH POLITICS. THE DE BROGLIE IMPEACHMENT MOTION—THE TEXT OF THE COMMITTEE'S RESOLUTION— THREATENED RESIGNATION OF M. GREVY DE- NIED. (BY CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Lonpon, Feb. 9, 1879. In the French Chamber of Deputies yesterday M. Brisson's report was submitted and read. Among the grievances against the De Broglie Cabinet is a complaint that it violated the consti- tution by raising anew the question of the form of government which had previously been settled by constitutional law. It also violated the rule of irresponsibility of the President of the Re public, one of whose speeches betrayed thoughts of personal power. The authors of the eventa of the 16th of May designed the establishment of a dictatorship. They violated the constitution by delaying the elections beyond the legally prescribed three months; by evading the electoral Jaw relative to Councils General and Councils of Arrondissement by forbidding col- portage and closing wine shops, by collusion, extortion, undue pressure on the magistracy and the creation of fictitious rise on the Bourse. After the elections gave a repub- lican majority the Cabinet continued to fight a whole month, and, under the Rochebouet Ministry which followed, all preparations were made to strike a blow byforce. Dospatohes were sent to the commanders of army corps to propare for military measures, and 0 conspiracy evidently existed. The report concludes us fol- lows:—"‘Aa tho De Broglie and Rochebouet mine fetries incurred equal responsibility we propose that both be impeached before the Senate.” On motion of M. Le Royer, Minister of Justice, the debate was antil Thursday next. The text of the resolution for the impeachment of the Do Broglie-Fourtou Ministry. which the Impeachment Conunitwe uf NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAKCH 9, 1879—QUINTUPLE SHEET. the French Chamber of Deputies recommend to the Chamber, is given as follows :— RESOLUTION. “The Chamber recommends the impeachment of the Ministers of the 16th of May, orders the sending up of the report and its appendices to the Senate and appoints a committee of tive of its members to proceed with the charge and act as public prosecutors.” M. Waddington, President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and M. Royer, Min- ister of Justice, also conferred with the commit- mittee on the subject of the return of the Cham- bers to Paris. They declared that they would be willing to take the initiative in favor of a return but for the fact that for the Chambers to effect such a change in the constitution they would have to be constituted as a National Assembly. ‘The Ministry would also prefer that the question be postponed till after the impeachment discussion. The Left Centre, at a meeting at which forty members were present, afterward decided against the return to Paris, thas showing divergence of views of the Cabinet and Cen- trista. The pure Left, which is tho strongest group of republieans, numbering ninety-cight menfbers, yesterday decided that none of its members can also be connected with another re- publican group such as the Left Centre or Ex- tremists. The Daily News says :—‘It is under- stood that this decision is contrary to the wishea of M. Gambetta, who desires the fusion of all seetions of the republicans.” The Times says:—‘This fasion is wlso desired by the radi- cals. Its defeat is fortunate, as. it would be tantamount to an occult Assembly, free from public control and discussing privately what is now debated in the Chambers. The Left Centre is hesitant in regard to im- peachment. At yesterday's meeting it de- ferred its decision until it is acquainted with the indictment.” The Dai/y News’ correspondent at Paris says:—‘‘The assertion that President Grévy will resign, if impeachment is carried, is an idle invention.” The Standard’s Paris corre- spondent, usually well informed, believes the radicals will be severely defeated on the im- peachment question if the government meet the issue squarely.

The fall in Chilian, Turkish and Egyptian and the rise in Hungarian securities are the widest varia- tions in the foreign list.

Turkish securities were depressed because the De Tocqueville scheme makes no progress, while the unofficial statement that a general reduc- tion will be made in the interest on the Egyptian debt fully accounts for the drop therein. A considerable volume of speculative business in American railroad securities has continued to be transacted, and at times there has been a sharp fall, as speculators for a rise have sought to close ac- counts.” CAPTAIN BARCLAY’S MURDER. ABRIVAL AT BALTIMORE OF THE WIFE AND CHILDREN OF THE MURDERED SHIPMASTER. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) Battrmonrg, March 8, 1879. The Baltimore bark Grey Eagle, Captain Lucas, from Rio Janeiro, with coffee, arrived here to-day, bringing as passengers Mrs. Barclay and her two children, Harry and Lizzie, aged respectively seven and five years, the family of the murdered Captain Barclay, of the Baltimore bark Elverton. ‘The Grey Eagle left Rio before the sailing of the Elverton for New York, and those on board of the former vessel were ignorant of the tragedy which had taken place subsequent to their departure from Rio, Mrs. Barclay has been ill and is not at present in a con- dition to receive the news. Her friends have thought it advisable to keep her iguoraut of it until she omes stronger. She will remain with them until her house in Jackson square is put in order for her reception. THEORIES OF THE MURDER. The general impression prevailing on board the Grey Eagle is that the murderer of Captain Barcla; a the Portugese cook on board the Elverton, wit! hom Captain Barclay had had some diffi- culty while in Rio. ie man had deserted, and afterward returned and claimed the payment of the wages due him. Captain Barclay ts said to have retused to settle with him, and the matter was taken before the Consul, Mr. Adamson. The diffi- culty was believed to been soitled, and the man reshipped. Captain Barclay was also detained in Kio ding the settlement of the slave case, he having, it is sid brought a female slave trom Africa in viola- tion of the Uniteu States law. When the Grey Eagle left Rio Janeiro ,on January 29, the Elverton was loaded and ready to sail, except’ for the case men- tioned above. The second mate had deserted and the first mate was unwell. REPORTED THREATS, "ihe tet was heard, it is said, to make threats pete t that he would get square and fix the ber of the crew who had given him trouble as soon as ie got outside the Sugar Loaf (a hill at the entrance to the port of Rio), and owing to «these circumstances it is bron that the cook is the bene ted murderor, Another report says that the porter occurred with the shi dange 's carpenter, a low character jerous man. It ia understuod that the Elverton haa n ordored to Baltimore and will arrive here about the beginning of : THE HANNA AFLOAT, (bY TELEGRAPH TO THR HERALD.)

[B¥ TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) CoLumsvs, Ohio, March 8, 1879. Columbus has never contained so many excited people as at present. For seven days and nights the feeling of insecurity to property has been increasing with each hour, until now each clang of the alarm bell makes every one tremble and sends thousands upon the streets to see whose property has been started toward ruin, Since last Saturdey night forty fires have occurred which can be traced to incen- diaries, entailing heavy loss. Last night, between midnight and morning, eight stables were burned, while evidences of other attempts at incendiarism are abundant, The miscreants baffle all attempts to prevent their wrongdoing. This morning one gentleman found a fire burning in his cellar, a clothes prop having been cut to to start the flames. In another house a bundle of rags saturated with coal oil was found hidden in a closet, havin; a thrown there aproneb. an open window. Booth’: tensive carriage manufactory was found to be on ‘Are, with evidence 0 of the presence of coal oil abundant. The excitement of the iweek has nearly worn the people out, and although the police force has been increased and citizens have eaployed pri- vate watchmen, the demon of unrest seems to have possession of the city and a general feeling of inse- curity prevails. MEASURES FOR PROTECTION. A citizens’ meeting of to-day was attended by resentative men, who with great poi by manded that the city authorities shall spare no ex- pense to stamp out the incendiarism and restore quiet to the city. The City Council responded by holding a apectal meeting and resolving to spend $10,000 if necessa ny for this purpose. The police force was increas and 100 suspicions characters havo been arrested. Still the excitement was not allayed and the militia tendered their services to patrol the alleys to-night and are now on duty, fully armed with instructions to arrest all suspicious characters. Neighborhood meetings to-night have been held; and local patrols organized. The streets are thronged with people whose only conversation is of the fires past and those feared for the future. In many soo tions of the city valuables have been for instant removal in case of fire, and citizens, who never fired a gun, are now walking arsenals. MOB. MUTTERINGS, With each day’s excitement the mob spirit has grown, and it was quite common to-day to hear from quiet citizens ggentions that the time had nearly come for organizi i) aes companies of ‘‘vigi- Jants,” who shall law unto them- selves. If any suspicious chemise should be captured in the act of firing a building his trial would be swift and at little cost for legal services, ‘The’ most. rigid investigations fail “to develop any special reason, other than the love of destroyin; perty, for the <i ae, the “pweck. thus iar” nots case of robbery has although oon na portunities have paegn abundnt. There has been no evidence of disquiet among the laboring classes. They have not even been suspected of having any sympathy with this attempt to burn the city. It has been s question for some time where the parties firing buildings have obtained their coal oil, but it was disodvered to-day that they obtained it from the street lamps, which, from # mis- taken idea of economy, have recently been substi- tuted for gas. To-night each alley is alive with armed men, and cach citizen attempting to pass through them is halted and made to give an ac- count of himself. The scenes arc similar to those presented in a garrisoned city during w'r, and ex- citement stows ituelf upon the faces of the most stoical SA peed owner, This feeling caused thm men to abandon the comforts of their club'and remain at home nursing revolvers and assisting servants in watching out- buildings. Some citizens have sent their horses away, while others are spending the night as special watchmen over their own and.their neighbors. Every citizen longs for rest from this consuming excitement and a return to the old condition and quiet nights, undisturbed by the alarm bell or the lurid blaze of burning buildings. RAILROADING IN QUEBEC, A GOOD BRANCH LINE RUINED BY IMPROPER MANAGEMENT—JUDGMENT OBTAINED BY THE BONDHOLDERS. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) QuEpEc, Canada, March 8, 1879. One of the worst railway swindles ever perpetrated and perpetuated for any length of time—the unprincipled treatnient of the English bond- holders of the Levis and Kennebec Railway by its present management—was brought to an end to-day by two judgments of the Superior Court of Quebec. L. A. Senecal, an ex-member of the Dominion Parliament, and clique, obtained posses- sion of the line four’ years ago as far as constructed, from Levis, opposite Quebec, to Beluce, on the frontiers of Maine, whence it was intended to run to Kennebec and Wiscasset, by inducing the assignee of the contractor's insolvent estates to vote for them on 88,000 shares of the ecenesar y's ee By various and jays the law Sene- Jegal, quibbles nal Gomtaiven to selain jon of the line and prevent the sale of the vent estate, in- cluding the 88,000 shares of stock, the purchaser of which would have controlling influence in the man- agement.

RicuMonp, Va., March 8, 1879. Senators Blaine, of Maine, and Jones, of Ne- vada, have been here for the past two days consulting in reference to a projected line of railroad down the James River Valley to tidewater, in which they are said to be largely interested. They have been received with that genuine Virginia hospitality which welcomes all who wish to develop her resources or to invest in her enterprises, without any regard to politics, sec- tion or nationality. The two distinguished gentle- men have been taken to the clubs, dined, wined, toasted and shown the sights in and about Richmond, They have been hob-nobbing with the rankest of Virginia democrats, and have en- deavored to outdo their hosts in the most profuse complimentary acknowledgements and sympathizing expressions. To-day they had an excursion down the James River as far as Drewry's Bluff, and after that a grand reception at the Tobacco Exchange, where all the prominent merchants were assembled to greet them. They were intro- duced by General Peyton Wise in a neat and flatter- ing address, and, of course, had to make speeches. Senator Jones, in responding, intimated that devo- tion to the Old Flag would be followed by an appro- priation when he said, “with the fostering care of the goa government,” which he had no doubt would extended, Richmond would “become a great depot for the trade of the South and West.” BLAINE ON TOBACCO, Mr. Blaine was next introduced, and made a speech which is regarded by some as a strong bid for the Southern vote in the Presidential race in 1880. He ‘was lustily cheered, and in rising to acknowledge the applause said he was born on the border of Virginia and had often travelled her soil, but had never before met a Virginia audience. He was rather surry that the introductory remarks required him to say something explanatory of his position on the tobacco tax. His view was that what the interests of the country and the trade demanded was permanency. He thought permanency more important at this time than reduction; “but now that the ques- tion has been determined, gentlemen.” said he, “you will find me just as stubborn a resister of change as I was of the bill.” (Applause.) Those who acted with him had along viewed tobacco and whiskey very much as Napoleon I. did when he said, ‘Spirits a1 tobacco rive me 300,000,000 francs. Show me any two virtues that will pay so well!” (Laughter.) e evil the tobacco interest had to contend with was shifting legislation, prostrating ee, industry and giv- ing rise to speculation, “Iam for permanency, and ao not thiuk you will find me easily moved,” he leclared. FUTURE OF RICHMOND. In concluding his remarks on this topic, the Sena- tor thought that as his honorable friend (Senator Jones) had uttered his thoughts so wellin regard to the city of Richmond, it was unnecessary for him to dwell on that point. ‘Long ago a distinguished pub- lic man had pointed out that there were sites for great cities at every one hundred miles of our Atlantic front. “The city which has been for fifteen years #0 energetically asserting its pre-eminence is ‘our own.” Noteven in Boston, New York, Phila- peay rte or Baltimore had the rate of increase been tering. He believed that in his votes in Con- | ay vt man could go turther or stay longer “ol gpa the material prosperity of Vir- inia. “If I know myselt,” he said, “I would vote for Virginia as quickly as for Maine—for the South as quickly for New England.” The patient and heroic endurance of Virginia, under circumstances that might well have discouraged the bravest, haa en- listed for her the sympathies and admiration of the whole universe, and it could not be in his heart to think anything of her but kindly. ALMOST A NATIVE. His maternal \dmother, whose tender memory was every hour present in his breast, was born on the sacred soil, and he belonged to a family which maintains that blood is thicker than water. (Ap- plause.) If he differed with Virginians on some th-nge he was with them on others. “Whenever my voice can have influence to promote your prosperity you can rely upon me as upon one of yourown noble and distinguished sons.” (Applanse.) Mr. Blaine said that he was the more pl) with the re- ception eae es the men of this assemblage were iden- rr ed with those to whom. ety tga posed. He begged that his thanks would be accepted, and con- cluded by saying, “T bid you a cordial goodby.” The expression was general, a(ter seeing and hearin him, that “Jim Blaine doesn’t seem to be such a fellow, after all.” The Senators returned to Wash- ington this evening. PLENTY OF SHAD. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Norrotx, Va., March 8, 1879, The Albemarle Sound fishing firms are now in the full flush of business, and enormous quantities of shad and rock are arriving daily for shipment North.

Owing to the coldness of the weather the fish did not commence running as soon this year as usual. THUNDER STORMS. Tororo, Ont., March 8, 1879.

EXAMINATION OF THE PARTY WHO ACTED AS AGENT FOR THE RAILROAD COMPANY. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., March 8, 1879. The examination into the alleged freight discrimin- ations by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company tn favor of the Standard O11 Company was continued to-day. Mr. Jefferson Justice, Asststant Anditor of the Pennsylvania road, produced a paper showing that, upon a total of 343,767 barrels of crude oil, a rebate of $68,353 had been allowed to the American Transfer Company; but he said the character of his duties would not permit of his explaining how his road came to allow that rebate to the transfer com- pany named. A. J. Cassatt, third Vice Presi- dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, said that the oil was transported over the road in January, 1877, by the Empire Transportation Com- pany under contract, He gave the reasons why the Lenapeneriaee, over the Pennsylvania road ceased, aaere adetailed account of the various lines by mia oil was carried to the seaboard from the wells. The witness said he understood the combination was intended as an opposition to the Empire Transporta- tion line. ‘In August, 1877," he said, ‘Mr. Rocka- feller, president of the Standard Oil Company; Will- iam E, Warden, of this city, and others entered into Degotiations with the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany; I acted in behalf of the latter company; the first meeting was at the St. George Hotel, in this city, and the subject of discussion was whether some contract could not be made with the Standard Oil Company bao which this competi- tion should.cease. The Standard Oil Company in- sisted that they could make no contract or arrange- ment while La oil business of the Pennsylvania Rail- road was carried on through the Empire Transporta- tion Company, which came up as a rival anda menace to the Standard O11 Company. The Empire com- pany had a refinery at New York which the Standard Rommres did not like and threatened to withdraw its patronage from the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany. But the final blow was given, when, subse- quent to complaints by the Standard ‘company, the pa PP en ya pe Philadelphia.

Morrison, member of Congress from Illinois, arrived here to-day, and has expressed himself very freely about the contest for the Speaker- ship of the House. He declares most positively that under no circumstance will he be a candidate himeelf, that he is opposed to Mr. Randall and in favor of a Southern man for that position, in order to test the question whether Southern men can be put into prominent places with safety to the interests of the nation. He regards Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky, as a brilliant and able man, who would make an excellent Speaker.
