Khanate Barbarities on Subjects of the Czar— Imperial Preparation for a Grand Military Movement—Report of a Liberated Russian Prisoner—Citizen Tone in England. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALB, St. PETERSBURG, Jan, 30, 1878. The opinion of the Russian public has attained toa very excited condition over the contents of Published accounts of atrocious cruclties per- Petrated by the Khivans on the Russians who had fallen into their hands. The people are heartily in favor of the expedition against the Khiva, and demand the exemplary punishment of the Khan. ROYAL AND POPULAR PREPARATION FOR WAR. - The military preparations for the campaign are ona grand scale, and are being pushed forward with vigor. The total Russian force will probably number fllty thousand men. Princes and others of high rank are volunteering to accompany the army. What a Liberated Russian Reports About His Captivity. A Russian subject, who has just been restored to Ifberty drom imprisonment by the Khivans, has reportea to the Lieutenant General of the Caucasus that the Khan is not by any means prepared to Tepel an attack made by the regular troops. The Russian’s name is Serge Dedourine; he is thirty years of age, and has a wife and children at a village called Nikolaeffsskoe, on the seashore, two hundred versts trom Astrackan. Inthe Spring of 1870 he went fishing with two companions to the Gulf of Sary-tach. They were attacked by the Kir- ghisi, who robbed them of tneir nets, and bound and carried them tnland in the neighborhood of the lake. The approach of a Russian trigate in the gulf jorced the brigands to deeamp with their prisoners northwards into the steppes towards the Emba, where they remained nearly six months. Dedou- rine and captors fed entirely on milk dur- ing the whole of this period, and he himself was obliged to tend herds, Carried thence to Khiva he was sold tothe Divan-Béghi (Prime Minister) for $90, and then presented to the Khan, who made him his gardener. One of Dedourtne’s companions shared the same fate; the other, who was seriously ill when they quitted the environs of the Sary-tach, seprered died, unable to support the fatigues of the journey. There were in all at Khiva twenty Russian prisoners, nearly all employed in the Khan’s gar- dens, a similar number being distributed among the divers Kirghisi and Turcoman tribes dependent on the Khan. The garden in which Dedourine worked is the Khan’s favorite promenade. Thither he went nearly every day, [rom time to time questioning the Russians about their country. He is a man of about twenty-lour, much given to hawking, and appears to be loved by his people. But his Divan-Béghi is very repulsive and harsh in his man- ners. There ig no permanent army; the Persian. prisoners and the Karakalpaks mount guard and do duty in the Knan’s residence. The; are badly armed with mouzzie-loaders, an Dedourine saw no field artillery whatever. Since the Summer ot 1871 there has been question of liberating the Russian prisoners. At that epoch the favorite uncle of the Khan fell griev- ously ill, and the latter made a vow to set free all his prisoners should he recover. He recovered. All the Russians were asscmbied, andit was decided to give them each ten tillja (about fifteen dollars) for the journey. The. Divan-Béghi, however, observed that it would be useless to liberate them without escort, as the Kirghisi would again capture them and carry them otf to other markets. Dedourine has heard the Khan say to the Kirghisi who offered to escort the prisoners to Kussian territory, “Why did you seize and sell them to me? What security have | that you will not sell them again?” Dedou- Tine adds that the Khan was so enranged on hear- ing of the Russian advance into his territories that he Chee dead at a blow a Persian lad in his service. English Reminiscences of the Crimean War, A leading London journal, writing on the subject of the probability of war with Russia and the ciplomacy of the St. Petersburg government, pub- lishes the following :— It is a common opinion, almost an established fact, that the Emperor Nicholas would never have placed himself in absolute and pronounced hos- tility to England in 1854, if he had not been led to believe that she really did not mean fighting for Turkey. If so, the belief in our excessive peacetul- ness of temper was a grave misfortune both for us and for him. Whether the Russian govern- ment has up to this time been guided by such argu- ments into supposing that we shall never step from our gates to beat off the foe that saps up to them, but shall remain content in the reilection that we can repulse actual ussault whenever it comes; this, of course, is a matter of which we have no knowledgy. But we are strongly inclined to think that the Russians have long gone on in the enjoyment of that supposition; for they have had every reason to hit 3 upon it, and even within afew months from to-day have been encouraged to pursue a steady policy of encroachment to- wards a position from which they could largely control tke action of England in any matter of dis- pute whatever.

President Thiers at Variance with the Parlis- mentary Committee of Thirty—The Imprisoned Internationalists, TELEGRAMS TO THE KEW YORK HERALD. Panis, Jan. 30, 1873. President Thiers yesterday informed M. De Laroy that he cannot accept the constitutional project submitted to him by the Committee of Thirty of the National Assembly. . Points of the President's Position, The French President argued the points of his opposition to the project of the Committee of Thirty personally during the moments of his latest at- tendance before the members. He used the follow- ing words :— ‘The present generation would be very presump- tuous—I would almost say impertinent—if it as- sumed to itself the right and responsibility of settling the affuirs of the future a perpdtuttd, The Assembly ought to consolidate the present order of things, and to ensure its solidity and its duration for the longest term possible. It is necessary, therefore, to Habe for the future, and, 8o far as 1am concerned, that future can only be provided: for by the creation of a second Chamber. ‘he more fears are entertained for the future, the More we should direct our attention to this means ofsafety. The right of dissolution cannot, in fact, exist without two Chambers. Ali these Matters occupied our attention before the re- assembling of the National Assembly. I dare to say, While respecting all ORDIOne expressed to the contrary, that I do not believe any person of good faith—in the present situation of things, with one Assembly and an executive power which emanates from and is dependent upon it—should not see the necessity of creating a second Assembly. The President is always ready to come to the House to ee an account of his actions, to justify them, and withdraw if his presence shoula create any sort of dissatisfaction in the Assembly. It is the same as regards all the other Ministers; every Minister is prepared to resign on the slightest manifesta- tion of dissatisfaction on the part of the Assom- bly. Is Ministerial responsibility, therefore, calcu- lated to be a remedy for such a situation as this? Do you suppose for a moment that the President of the Republic or his Ministers wish to shirk their responsibility? In times gone by in- stances have been aque nti afforded of the King wishing to retain his Ministers against the strongly- pronounced opinion of the deputies, But nothin: of the sort takes place at the present time. Bot the President of the Republic and the Ministers are always prepared to clear out (vider les Views) if the Assembly wishes it. The republican government exists—it is an accomplished fact; events conterred the Republic on France. I do not say that it is nec- essary to draw up a constitution in one or two hundred articles. In such a case as this there is too Eres a diversity of opinion to allow of such a wor! being execute promptly. I confine self to asking for a few articles only which shall settle the difficulties now uppermost in all men’s minds, The question is this—noboay brings forward the question as to @ monarch: ora republic, and the Republic is the acknowl- edged jorm of government at present. Can you place before a Late Assembly an executive power emanating from that Assembly without —,, yourselves to the gravest dificulties? I do no think you can. Two Chambers are, therefore, in- dispensable. The great fault of the Message was that it pointed out that the Republic existed. Of two things one—either overthrow the Republic or give it the means of existence. M. DE Lancy thanked the President, in the name of the committee, for the explanations whivh he had been good enough to give, M. Barsik remarked thatin order to be of any use the conference with the government ought to include the two sub-committees. MM. ARAGO, GREVY and RicARD, on the contrary, thought that the confererice should take piace with the entire committee, in order that its members might profit by the explanations of the President of the Republic. . MM. DE Larcy, DE CumoNT and DecazeEs re- marked that there was nothing to prevent the whole committee takiug cognizance of the instruc- tions given to the sub-committees, After a discussion on the same point the PRres- IDENT of the Republic said he was quite ready, if it was thought advisapie to facilitate the labors of the committee, to confer with the sub-committees or with the general committee, The Captive Radicals.

The Auditor’s registry of bonds was discovered to contain certain entries of $200,000 in bonds purporting to have been*issued by the cities of Gregory, Cloud and Bualong, in Cherokee county, Kansas, to the Memphis, Carth- age and Northwestern Railroad Company, There are no such places in Cherokee county, nor in Kansas, and the bonds are evidently bogus. ‘The mames of the cities given are the names of Prominent citizens of Carthage, Mo. There are two sets of bonds for each city, bearing seven per cent interest and payable at the National Park Bank, New York. One hundred of the bonds, amounting to $50,000, were registered on the 20th of December, 1872, and the remainder on January 9 1873, which was three days before the present ad- ministration was installed, It is supposed that an attempt has been or is now being made to nego- tiate the bonds in the Eastern markets, THE GREELEY MONUMENT. Address ot the Committee. To THE PEOPLE OF THR UNITED SraTEs:— The committee to raise a fund to commemorate the virtues of the late Horace Greeley by a statue and @ monument in Greenwood has been fully organized by the appointment of the Hon. William W. Niles, of Westchester county, as Chairman; the Hon. Andrew H. Green, Comptroller of the city of New York, Treasurer, and Edmund ©, Stedman, Esq., of New York, Secretary. The members of the committee, as far as ap- Pointed, are at workin earnest and with a sure prospect of success. But they are conscious that it does not belong to them nor to any limited num- ber of men to render adequate honor to one whose just fame belongs to the entire people. Horace Greeley was pre-eminently @ man ef the people; he rose from among their ranks by industry,. frugality and a life of blameless purity; his example, no less than his written words, will remain forever a@ precious legacy to the masses of workingmen who are actuated by the same pure ambition as that which raised him from poverty and obscurity to the hon- orable and conspicuous position in which for many ears he led the public opinion of the country. ‘here is nothing in his character or career which mars the force of his beneflcent influence. No young man can ponder the story of his life without profit. He is one of the few public men of our age who may be safely held up to the imitation of the young. It is therefore to the people at large that the committee confidently appeal. It is their peereee. and duty to honor worthily the man who st represented the brain and the conscience of the masses, ‘ This isin no sense a partisan enterprise. The com- mittee is composed of members of all parties, aly proud todo honor to one whose laborious life was passed in devotion to the general welfare, All who believe with us that Mr. Greeley’s great efforts in behalf of freedom, of enlightenment, of economy and of progress have not been without beneficent results are cordially invited to share in this tribute to his memory. ‘The rich cannot better show their Bereatlee of the lessons of industry nd order which he taught, and the poor, in giving what slight sums they can adlord, will honor their own estate and aspirations. It is not doubted that every editor in the country will be willing to for- ward the work, either by an editorial endorse- ment or by receiving and forwarding such sums as may ve raised in his locality. There ié not a vil- lage in the land but contains some man who has profited by Mr. Greeley’s teachings. We hope there is not one where an effort will not be made to contribute to this expression of the national gratitude, A memorial volume will be kept contaming the name and residence of every contributor, and upon the completion of the work will be deposited in the Historical Society for preservation.

The snowdrifts on the Union Pacific Railroad, caused by the late storm, are in some places six- teen feet in height. Old railroad men say the weather is the worst they ever experienced. At Granite Canyon three of the section hands were frozen to death and two more at Bryan. A number of others who had been engaged in shovelling the snow off the track are reported to have perished.

Santley, the singer, was something to be grateful for; so was Tyndall, the lecturer; and now we have Bellew, the reader, who ean certainly lay claim to superiority over any mative reader among us, not even excepting the veteran Murdoch, Mr. Bellew arranges his accessories in a more elaborate and artistic tashion thun did Dickens, Over the front of the stage he D shoe! ata height of about fifteem feet an arch of globe-shaded gas lights, curtained from the audience by a strip of crimson damask, Behind him is a crimson screen for a background, and immediately in front a desk shrouded in a covering of the same color, borderea with yellow. The bright, silvery hair, fine forid face and well Gero nen form of the speaker are thrown out with striking vividness by his arrange- ment of light and shade. His voice is of splendid volume and so divinely modulated as to express every articulate utterdhce of human emotion, “The Bridge of Sighs’ was incomparably rendered and thrilled every heart in the audience. Old, familiar lines et have been reading since their ohildho acquired a new and a magic meaning from the touch of this man’s won- derful voice. He has none of the English intonation. that cropped out everywhere in Dickens and marred (to American ears) his best LSet Mr. Bellew has the finest and most powerful tones of Murdoch, Henry Ward Beecher and Dr. Chapin, His PeAaing: is so caretul that we are vexed with ourselves for heretojore throwing away twice money and applause on the sloppy stulf we were picased to think elocutionwhich 80 tng te our native artists insist on offering to us every Winter as a first class article, His pro- gramme last.evening was Macaulay's “ Horatius,” *Clarence’s Dream,” in Richard: iL; ** Vital Spark,” from.

We cannot speak too highly of Mr. Bellew’s first effort before an American audience, His manner is. perfection itself, He galvanizes with a throbbing life expres- sions of the poet and the dramatist dead. to us from our familiarity with them or. indifference towards them. His interpretation of Hood's most touching lines, “One: more unfortunate,” stamps him as an artist of the first rank. All lovers of genuine art will quickly recognize in this gentle- man’s method something as rare as it is admirable. fo next readings come off on Monday at Associa- on Hall. at Associa- Charity Concert. A dramatic and musieal entertainment was given Wednesday evening at the handsome Terrace Gar- den Theatre, in Fifty-eighth street. It was for the benefit of the poor under the care of the St.. Vin- cent de Paul Society of the Dominican Fathers’ church, Every performer was a volunteer, and each being good a programme was arranged that drew an immense audience, Mr. Augustin Daly having been inter- ested im the charity by the projectors of the entertainment, provided for the performance of the comedy of “Married Life” by the members of his Fifth Avenue Theatre company not i ip pe nm “Alixe.” As these actors comprised * Messrs. Davidge and tony and Mrs. Gilbert, Miss St. Clair, Miss Dietz, &c., the comedy was done in a splendid style. The second part of the entertain- ment was made up of vocal and instrumental music, A duo from Verdi's ‘I Masnadieri”’ was sung Miss Stone and Mr. Willigm McDonald with true artistic method, and the aria “Non Terno’ was charmingly rendered by Miss Filomeno Lgmara. Alter the brilliant performance by Mr. Bonawitz of a grand march .arranged by Liszt from Wagner's “Yanuhauser,”” Mr, Frank Bartlett treated the audience to “The Yeoman’s Wedding,” and. was encored, Miss Mattie Louise Linden, who made her début in this city last evening, sung “Scenes That Are Brightest,” from ‘Maritana,’” very sweetly and with a method that indicated careful culture, The pleasantest feature of the entertain- ment, however, was Mr. B. C. Molienhauer’s violin solo, which in graceful execution and finish was admirable; After this selo Signor Paolicchi sung the “Drinking Seng’ from “Martha,” and was re- warded with an encore. The concert was closed with a cornet solo by Mr. Henry 8. Page. This gentleman was lately connected with Dan God- frey’s Coldstream Guards Band tn London. — Musical Notes. ‘The economic axiom that. “the demand regulates the supply” is violated in the matter of good sing- ers, and the artists take advantage of the fact., ‘The most conspicuously extortionate among them have hitherto been tenors; but of late the bari- tones have come to @ greater appreciation of themselves in @ pecuniary sense. The newest example . of this. is found in M. Faure, the Parisian, baritone. An American manager 1s said to be in treaty for his.services, but the negotiations are likely to fail, as M. Faure values his voice at $8,000 a menth, Haydn once said to a prima donna, “My dear child, your voice is as fine as a cathedral,” How aptly might a man- ager say to M. Faure, “My dear fellow, your voice ig equal to a famine; for should I pay price I should starve!’ ‘e understand a “home for ruined operatic managers” is soon.to be established. The air “God.

The statement has re- vived an old discussion, there being no less than seven well supported claims to the composition of the tune, From the results of the discussion the Pall Mall Gazette concludes that it has “gradually grown up under the adaptations and alterations of Many hands, rather than to have been composed by any one man for any one occasion.

AL EES SOE Both houses held short sessions yesterday, after which they adjourned over till Monday night, at eight o'clock, The Senate, after transacting some unimportant business, went into executive ~ session to consider the nominations sent in by Governor Parker for the Chancellorship, Justices of. Supreme Court and other judicial oMces: Tne fol- lowing are the names for the respective positions :— For Chancellor, Theodore Runyon, of Essex; Judges Supreme Court, David’ A. Depue, Vancleve Dalrymple and George 8. Woodhull; Judge Court of Errors and Appeals, Samuel Lilly, of Hunter- don, vice ex-Governor Olden, resigned; Commis- sioner of Sinking Fund, Barker Gummere;, of Mer- ver, vice ex-Governor Olden, resigned. The nominations were reterred to the appropriate com- mittees, who, it is expected, will report favorably thereon next week. In the House of Assembly there was a good deal of excitement over A. BIG RATLROAD FIGHT, the first of the session, which came off when the bill to incorporate the New York and Philadelpnia Railroad Company came up for se¢ond reading. This bill is nearly a fae simile of the one tneor- porating the National Railroad, and it ts said if the romoters of the latter scheme are defeated tn the forthcoming battle shay will fall back on thig one, which will serve their purposes just as well. Mr. Carse, of Camden, moved that the bill lay ever till Monday evening next, in order that time might be had to examine into the amendments. Mr. Letson, of Middlesex, opposed the motion, and in doing so made a few pointed remarks, in which he said that there too much delay had already. The motion was supported by Mr. Ward, of Sussex, who said that parties should have a fair and rea- sonable time to examine into the bil and see what amendments were necessary. He:said there was some very . DISHONORABLE ACTION connected with it se far. Its course, while in the hands of the committee, was certainly unpre- cedented in any former legislation in like matters. The committee held private sittings, and although he was a member of it he had not the advantage of attending their deliberations. Aiter king & very pointed Bee in support of the m@ion ta by ‘over, Mi ‘ard was followed by Mr. Canfleld, who entered into a personal debate, when he was called to order by the Speaker, after which he proceeded to show that the opponents of the present bill, in endeavoring to cause delay, had confessed considerable weak- ness. The bill had been now in pessession of the committee three weeks, and it was time that some final action should be taken on it. Mr. Pattersot of Monmouth, spoke against any further delay, an said that the large and intelligent constituency which he represented were anxious for the pas- sage of such a righteous and noble measure, He said that the amendments were very easily explained, and he did not see any reason why the bili should lay over. A ve lenghty and heated debate followed, in whicl Messrs.‘Wilietts, Cole, Plympton and others took ' part, when a vote was taken, and resulted in the Motion to lay over being carried by 29 against 24. The galleries and lobbies were crowded with spectators, who seemed to take a deep interest in the proceedings. It was the principal event of the session so far, The matter Will come up for sp action on Tuesday morning next at ten o'clock.
