If Secretary Robeson had taken the Henaun’s advice a little earlier the chances of finding the vessel and the men connected with it would have been more certain; but better late than gever. Captain Braine is a faithful and capable officer, and he will do everything that is possible to be done to rescue the ill-fated vessel and unravel the mysteries of the Polaris expedition. Tue Trousers Between rae SuuTAN and the Khedive have at last resulted in a very im- portant measure for Egypt and its ruler. Ac- cording to the news which we print to-day the Khedive is now virtually independent, and not likely to be disturbed hereafter by the govern- ment. The augmented army which the Sul- tan allows him seems to be a guarantee of peace, but the other acknowledgments contained in the firmin are likely to be of more importance to Egypt. The free in- ternal government which is recognized as belonging to the country ruled by the Khedive is a great point gained. The right to make treaties is even of more significance, for it is one of the attributes of nationality, without which the construction of the Soudan Railway and other enterprises would have been dif- ficult of execution. Egypt is again taking her place among the nations of the earth, and this time she will be visited by more than one On the Koad to Khiva—The Approach te Centrai Asia—An Interesting and Important Report. We publish this morning a welcome and im- portant letter (dated Easter Sunday last) from a special Heratp correspondent, detailed to report the movements of the Russian military expedition against Khiva. It relates to the desert regions of the Kirgheez Tartars, the frontier of Turkestan, and ‘‘Fort No. 1, Kaza- linsk, on the Sir-Daria, or Jaxartes River, forty miles from the Aral Sea."’ This letter will be found exceedingly interesting from the passing observations of the writer upon the country traversed and the various races and colonies inhabiting it, and from the incidents and accidents on the way, and the difficulties experienced by our traveller in securing the needful relays of horses or camels from point to point. To most of our readers this journey from European into Asiatic Russia, will recall our corre- spondence of past years from the Euphrates and the Tigris, from Babylon and Bagdad, and from the Nile and tle lofty table lands of Abyssinia to Unyanyembe and Lake Tangan- yika in the heart of Equatorial Africa. Our commissioner to Khiva, starting from St. Petersburg as his base of opera- tions, says there he ‘met a troop of corre- spondents, hurrying like vultures to the battle fiold, all of thom bearing letters from the highest and most distinguished personages to others equally lofty and well considered and all of them desirous of being conducted to the field of duty with all the pomp and cir- cumstance of war, and all of them being politely but firmly refused.’’ Finding that permission to accompany the army was in- variably denied them, our correspondant, as- summing the responsibility and trusting to his lucky star as an American, made his prepara- tions and set out on his long, difficult and he ous journey upon» his own account. Fifty hours by rail and be’ was at Saratof, on the Lower Volga; but from that point a journey over wild mountains and wilder deserts of fifteen hundred miles, to be travelled by post or by such means of trans- portation as he could command en route, lay between him and his destination. How this journey was accomplished as faras the immediate basin of the Sea of Aral, or Salt Lake, our correspondent pleasantly tells us in his cheerful report. His journey was interest- ing alike from its pleasures and its dangers. On the railway to Saratof he made the acquaintance of Prince Genghis, a lineal descendant of that terrible ‘Tartar warrior, Genghis Khan. Hoe in- spected the prosperous German colonies planted on the Volga by Catherine the Second. Among the Ural Mountains he was caught in one of those whirlwinds of snow, of the terrors of which our people in the Rocky Mountains know something from their rough experience. Thore will also be found something new in our correspondent’s testimony in favor of the Cossacks, hither{o supposed to be hardly above the standard in barbarism of our Comanche Indians. But mark what our disinterested witness says of the Cossacks on reaching the first Cossack station on his journey:—‘*What a change it was from the Bashkirs and the peasants, and how I luxuriated in the fresh white bread and cream of the kind-hearted old Cossack, who set before me the best he had! How clean and neat everything was!'’ And again, ‘Russia can boast no better, braver, kinder and nobler race than these same Cos- | sacks,’ the bugbear of Western Europe. “Wherever there was a Cossack woman the station was neat and orJerly."’ The men “are intelligent and a great majority of them can read and write.”” ‘They are the Americans of Russia—the pioneers of civilization.” We see from this how even a little actual observation will serve to dispel the prejudices and errors of centuries of cultivation. The next agreeable surprise of our pilgrim for Khiva was the inevitable Yankee, at Oren- burg, on the Ural, the dividing river be- tween Europe and Asia—a Mr. Groves, from Boston, a musician in the service of Russia as Military Musical Director of the Orenburg District. At the same station Mr. Schuyler, late Secretary and Chargé d' Affaires of the American Legation at St. Petersburg, was found, intent upon a journey of exploration through Central Asia, and whom thenceforward our fortunate adventurer secured as a welcome, intelligent and agreeable travelling companion. In all these and in many other incidents, by the way, this letter from the basin of Lake Aral is very interest- ing. But touching the country between Oren- burg and Lake Aral, or the Aral Sea, in refer- ence to the construction of a railway, the ob- servations of our correspondent give to this enterprise the highest importance in demon- strating, we may say, the feasibility of the route and the work and the advantages which will result to Russia and to civilization from the completion of the road even to the Aral. In this connection it appears that at Orenburg this Russian campaign against the barbarous Khan of Khiva is regarded much in the same light as we in New York regard the news of a fresh expedition against the Apaches in Ari- zona. Onur correspondent describes the steppes, or prairies and deserts, between the Ural River and the Aral Sea as reminding him of ‘the plains of Colorado, or, rather, those of Ari- a " The steppe, he says, in general, “is | zona. covered with grass and various small plants, including multitudes of tulips, and numerous low bushes which help to furnish fuel.’ Even the Desert of Kili-Kum, hitherto de- scribed ‘as o howling waste of sand, is covered with bushes and other plants, and spaces of loose drifting sand are very ine frequent.” Against the building of this pro- jected railway our ‘prospecting’’ traveller says there are no difficulties in the way so great as were successfully overcome in the construction of the Pacific Railroad; that the ground rises and falls in easy gradients; that few curves, cuttings or embankments will be required; that wood for the ties can be ob- tained on the Ural Mountains and the iron in abundance, and the fuel for the engines “from the rich coal fields lately discovered on the upper course of the Sir-Daria.’’ Further- more, it appears that explorations have already been undertaken in view of this enterprise, so that this Russian military expedition into Khiva may be considered as a movement to clear the way for the railroad. With a connection from the Volga to Oren- barg, the railroad from this latter point to the Taxartes, or the Sea of Aral, means, in the than the civilization of Central Asia, the con- quest of a rich commerce, the reclamation of deserts by irrigation, the overthrow of Islamism in one of the strongest of its strong- holds, and the daily Henatp in the reading rooms of Samarcand, Khiva, Bokhara and Herat. This great intercontinental iron artery means all this and something more. It means the spread of Russian influence to the summits of the Hindoo-Koosh. ‘It means that Cabul is nearer to St. Petersburg than to London.” This Russian military expedition, in brief, under these lights, is magnified into one of the grandest of modern enterprises, even apart from the ultimate question of Brit- ish India, for the conquest of Khiva is but an incident in the general designs of this great movement, We have already, in several editorial dis- cussions of this important subject, disclosed the immense Central Asiatic trade which will be commanded and developed by this railway from Orenburg to the Aral basin, and of the dormant traffic also which to spring into life only awaits a railway from the Mediterranean, via the Valley of the Euphrates, to the Persian Gulf. The one is a Russian enter- prise, the other is a British project, and within the next ten or fifteen years they will donbt- less both be accomplished facts. When Eng- land finds that Russia is actually building a railway towards India by way of Turkestan work will be actively commenced on the pro- jected road from the Mediterranean, via the Euphrates, to the Persian Gulf, from which a line of steamers will connect the overland line with Bombay, thus avoiding the tedious route of the Red Sea and the heavy tolls of the Suez Canal. In any event, we hail this Russian army of invasion destined for the occupation of Khiva and the whole of Turkestan as a grand movement in the cause of modern civili- zation and Christianity, and from our faithful correspondent, detailed for this duty, we ex- pect, from time to time, reports of the prog- ress, movements and results of the expedition, which will not only baa continued source of pleasure and edification to our readers, but which will command the special attention of the leading statesmen and men of progress throughout the four quarters of the globe. the Rebel Flag Through the Northern States. A misguided youth in Alexandria, Va., in imitation of Sergeant Bates, proposes to pro- ceed to Boston for the purpose of starting from Bunker Hill on a tour through tho Northern States, carrying with him the rebel flag unfurled. We are inclined to regard this as a foolish as well as a hazardous under- taking. Not that the flag-bearer is in danger of personal violence from Northern Union sol- diers, but it is calculated to arouse memories of such places as Andersonville, that might as well be smothered. Moreover, this Alexan- dria adventurer should remember that his case and that of Sergeant Bates are slightly differ- ent. While he is carrying a flag that consti- tutes no national emblem, and travels through a region that claims to be the conqueror, Bates carried the victorious American standard, the emblem of a power‘ul nation, through a de- feated section of the country and among a subdued, if not a subjugated, people. Besides, it was the only flag that could be recognized even by these unforiunate people, and hence not likely to be insulted. However, the whole affair is a humbug of the first water, and when the rebel flag-bearer gets within the shadow of the shaft on Bunker's Hill he will probably think better of his silly venture and abandon it altogether. Carrying Gambetta and the French Assembly. On Tuesday, at Versailles, Gambetta put forth his hand. It seems that the now govern- ment has issued a circular, addressed to the prefects of departments. The cireular in- quires minutely into the Position of the pro- vincial press ahd suggests confidentially the employment of subsidies and such other means of influence as might secretly be brought to bear upon its control. This document, which fell into Gambetta’s hands, the ex-Dictator read to the Assembly, the reuding, as was most natural, causing a profound sensation. M. Beulé, speaking for the government, ad- mitted the authenticity of the document and accepted the responsibility for issuing the same. Violent scenes ensued ; but when the question was brought to a vote the govern- ment was sustained, showing that the con- servative ranks are as yet unbroken. Gam- betta, however, has made capital out of the exposure, and it will not be at all wonderful if, when the inevitable conflict is fought at the ballot box, this unfortunate circular should be @ source of regret to the men who now control France. Fair play is a jewel. If the con- servatives mean to win they ought to seek success by honest means. Evidently Gam- betta, who has much fight in him and who means fight, is a careful observer and little disposed to lose his opportunity, Duiness in the Political Market. There is scarcely a movement of a note- worthy kind in the political market just at this time in any part of the country. Louisi- ana seems to have been “‘pacified,"’ and, while Arkansas occasionally has a sensational political spasm, it is more tho result of some local squab- ble about spoils, in which one party behaves as badly as the other, than any indication of the existence of a political element of disturb- ance or importance. Thero has been a slight ripple in Pennsylvania in consequence of the republican organ at the State capital putting the question, ‘Is there any danger of the republican party being defeated in Pennsylva- nia this year?’’ and answering its own ques- tion by saying, ‘‘If the leaders of the party, the men who assume to manage affairs, are so reckless as to disregard the will and the wishes of the people, there is a strong possibility of such action being resented, for the reason that the effect of the resentment cannot imperil other elections to follow.” These remarks the Philadelphia Press (quasi republican) consid- ers significant; and the fact that they are reiterated bya large number of newspapers of the same political complexion as the H: risburg organ gives them a still more signifi- cant character. The Philadelphia Aye, ao venerable democratic organ, says that all the indications are that there will be this Fall thorough radical ring ticket in the field for State and local offices in that city, To this the Age does not object— for it thinks it will be the ‘easiest to beat.’’ The campaign in Ohio, although the republi- cans have their full ticket in the field, has not BPeroiosua so toll the story of her progreps | judgment of our comvapondenh pothing les | yet commenced, the democrat, not having OO EEE EE named their candidates. The farmers’ move- ment is progressing out West and in some other sections of the country, but it seems to lack that distinctive individuality and concen- tration upon the solution of those positive po- litical problems by which great political move- ment can only achieve a national triumph. The success of what were known as the farmers’ candidates in Illinois at the late judicial election, howover, indi- cates that the organization possesses & power which, rightly directed, may even- tually lead to important results nationally. Massachusetts is a little agitated upon the subject of the next republican nomination for Governor, the friends of General Butler mak- ing strong efforts in that direction. From the South the political tidings are of a placid character, except from Virginia, where the friends of the rival candidates for the respec- tive party nominations for Governor are using their best endeavors in primary meetings to effect the choice of delegates to the State con- ventions friendly to their several favorites. With these few exceptions wo may say that the political market at this moment, all over the country, exhibits an aspect of unexampled dulness. The Jerome Park Races Yesterday. The lowering clouds diminished the at- tendance at Jerome Park yesterday. There was quite a falling off from the multi- tude that sought admission on the first day of the meeting. Yet not all the frowns of the clerk of the weather could mar the elegance of the toiletsof the ladies who were present. They came, saw and conquered, and the sterner sex acknowledged allegiance and made professions of having lost bets without the slightest reference to the real facts of the case. It was a special triumph for the gawtiers and perruquiers who take charge of the and gilding, &, A lady is always sure to win at these races, no matter what the result may be. Year after year the American Jockey Club has pursued the even tenor of its way, making respectability and order the fundamental ele- ments in horse racing, and carefully avoiding the many snares that too highly spiced demo- cratic toleration must necessarily bring with it. The Clud now stands the first of all American racing associations, and nothing can be more enjoyable for ladies and gentle- men than a race day at Jerome Park. The present meeting opened under the most favora- ble auspices, and nothing short of a thunder storm can deter pleasure seekers from tho course. When wealth, fashion and respecta- bility join hands on the grand stand and at the club house it is no wonder that the Jerome Park races should be an unequivocal success. Murder Cases Before the Courts. Two prisoners yesterday pleaded ‘not guilty” in the Court of Oyer and Terminer to indictments for murder. First came young Walworth, who, forgetting the ties of natural affection and the filial duty of respect and obedience, locked his father in a narrow hotel room, poured a volley of bullets into him, sent his soul to its last account without a moment’s respite or a warning word, and left his dishonored body lifeless on the floor. He met the terrible charge with as little apparent emotion as he might have done an invitation to dinner. No sign could be seen in his appearance that he felt in the least that he stood before a high court of justice charged with the most heinous of crimes, one which will stain with infamy to all coming time a name hitherto among the brightest. Counsel promised to be ready for his trial at an early day, the Court and the District Attor- ney most properly desiring that there shall be no unnecessary delay. Walworth’s compan- ion in the dock was a German of small appar- ent intelligence but brutal nature, accused of kicking a companion to death a fortnight ago. His case will be proceeded with next week. It is for the public interest that all murder cases shall be pressed to a conclusion with the utmost vigor. Speedy execution is the most valuable characteristic of punishment. Let the manslayers learn that justice is switt and sure. Croquct at Central Park. A subject not less momentous than that of cigars at Central Park Garden threatens to claim attention—namely, whether gentlemen shall be permitted to join with ladies in croquet in the Park itself. At first sight it seems as if such a privilege is perfectly innocent ; and in an age when the feminine voice is loudly lifted against tobacco, and when the petticoat, not contented with its victories at Vassar, aims to enter Harvard, and, as a natural con- quence, every other college in the United States, it seems a pity to deny a gentleman the little compensation which such a privilege would yield him for the threatened curtail- ment of his hitherto exclusive rights. But we shall leave the matter to adjust itself, and in this the characteristic generosity and modesty of the softer sex will bear a hand, for we can- not conceive of a party of ladies playing cro- quet habitually and enjoyingly by themselves for a long time together, and we can as little imagine them prosecuting the game under the fire of a circle of observant masculine eyes. This is one of the subjects which, from its very nature, is so sure to right itself, that no very active measures, either by the Park Commis- sioners or by outsiders, can be necessary. It would be as easy to find the precise date at which the Man of Menton lived and flourished as to suggest any active remedy for an irregu- larity which, like this, contains its cure within itself, Tae Hanoryo or Canrutuers in Barrie, Canada, yesterday, is another instance of the promptness with which our cousins across the border grapple with the criminal and mete out full justice. As stated in our special despatch elsewhere to-day, the man in a fit of jealousy brutally beat his wife to death in the presence of their three children in December last, He had accused his wife of infidelity, but the law of the land admitted of no palliation on this account, After every legal effort had been ex- hausted to prove him insane, and the experi- enced counsel had threaded their way through all the intricacies that encompass the statute book, inexorable justice stepped forward and proclaimed him a murderer, and the Judge very properly sentenced him to death. No false philanthropy or political sentiment was admitted in mitigation of the terrible penalty. He was executed on the day and hour ap- pointed, ere is a lesson for New York that should be carefully read snd considered, apparently needless task of painting the lily | PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. Rey.

Canada Honoring the Memory of the Dead Baronet—Arrival of the Remains at Montreal—An Immense Procession to the Court House—Decorations in the Hall=The Body Lying in State. Montreal, June 11, 1873. At ten o'clock Jacques Cartier square, Court House square and the revetment wall of the wharf forover a mile were densely packed with people to witness the arrival of the remains of Sir George Cartier. The steamer Druid anchored during the night near Vecheres, opposite tne former residence of Sir George's childhood, and steamed up early this morning, reaching the city at ten o'clock. She had on board all the near relatives of the deceased baronet, with the representatives of the city press, and Hon. Mr. Langevine, rep- resenting the government, with a detachment of B battery and a band. As soon as the Druid was moored at La Prairie wharf, the mem- bers of the Corporation in a body, a Jarge number of clergymen and members of the presy went on board, Prayers were said, and then the body was removed to the hearse on the shore. Minute guns were fired from St. Helen’s Isiand, and the shipping in the harbor hung flags at hail-mast, and three edaey military bands played appropriate funeral mhuste, The Vaated then formed and ascended slowly from the wharf to Commissioner street, and thence up the steep inciine to Jucques Curtier square, Owing to the iminense crowd, which was estimated to number 25,000 persons, the march was greatly retarded, and frequent halts were made. At length the Court House was reached at the foot of the great stack of stone steps under the main portico, The body was carried up to the vestibule, followed by a long line of clergymen and personal friends of the deceased. The open space below prevented @ sea of uncovered heads, From the Vestibule the coffin was transierred to the Chapelle Ardente especially prepared tor it, and which was fitted up in magnificent taste, with candelabra, flowers, festoons, garlands, ancient urns burning lambent lights and the usual insignia of the de- ceased baronet’s creed. ‘A guard is stationed here, and the people are now nocting in to view the remains, passing in by one door and out through another.
