ES Severe Ficutixe 1x Czntrat Asta.—The Russian armies which are marching on Khiva have met with sharp opposition from the forces of the Khan. Two severe battles have been fought just lately. The Khivese troops were badly beaten, according to St. Peters- ‘burg War Office report, in each instance. General Kaufmann has crossed the Amu-Daria River, and is evidently endeavoring to flank the Khivan garrison in the capital of the Khanate, so that the Muscovite war opera- tions will reach a very important point for piltimate final issue at an early moment, Toe Norruenn Paciric Rarnoap Survey- ¥wo Party have had early and earnest notice from the Sioux that their presence in Dakota is objectionable.

Looking to the obliteration of prejudices, jeal- ousies and hostilities, and to the establishment of relations of peace, confidence and harmony between the white and black races of the South, a most significant and important public meet- ing in its results, General Beauregard, chair- man, was held the other evening in New Orleans. It was an adjourned meeting of white and colored citizens, and, as no party is mentioned in the proceedings, we infer that it was a meeting of citizens acting independ- ently of the Kellogg and the McEncry parties, and in view of a people's party, upon the plat- form of reconciliation adopted. This plat- form, touching the newly acquired civil and political rights of the black race, is all that Charles Sumner or Frederick Douglass could demand. It covers the whole ground of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments gnd of the Civil Rights bill. It is a comprehensive peace offering to the blacks, and if adhered to on the one side and accepted on the other in good faith, the results cannot fail to be good and enduring. According to the census of 1870 the popu- lation of Louisiana, as between the two races, is as follows :— White ulation. . 362,065, Colores population: 364,210 —which shows a difference of two thousand in round numbers in favor of the blacks—a divi- sion so close as to suggeat the necessity of a compromise between the two races upon the political affairs of the State. In the proceed- ings of this assemblage we are considering this necessity is prominently suggested. ‘The meeting declares that, whereas tha State is threatened, pind th in gRy Vital of ber inaterial and political being, atd whereas her dire extremity is but the fruit of unnatural divisions among her people, it is resolved that we dedicate ourselves to the unification of the people—of every race, color, or religion— that we advocate the concession to every citi- zen of all his equal, civil and political rights in reference to places of amusement, public schools, public conveyances, banks, insurance offices, foundries, factories and other industrial establishments, and in the possession of the soil. Upon this last point the meeting recom- mends the encouragement of the blacks to become landed proprietors, thus enhancing the value of its lands and adding to the produc- tion of the State ; and the large landed pro- prietors are urged to cut up their idle lands into small farms, “in order that our colored citizens and white immigrants may become practical farmers.’’ This is as *‘broad and geueral as the casing air ;’’ but the meeting furthermore pledgés its honor and good faith to labor zealously for the removal of all prejudices of and color among the people of the State; appeals to the public press for a helping hand in the good work ; deprecates all measures of vio- lence, and in view of the eqnality ot the two races in numbers advocates an ‘equal distri- bution of the offices of trust and emolument, demanding, as the only condition of our suffrage, honesty, diligence and ability.’’ And this offer is made not on account of the offices indicated, but as a proof ‘‘that the union we desire is an equal union, and not an illusive conjunction”’ for the particular benefit ot either party. Such is the reconciliation platform of this New Orleans meeting, of which General Beauregard, that hitherto implacable enemy of the abolitionists and of negro equality in any shape or form, stands as. the sponsor. Nor can we doubt that General Beauregard is acting in this matter in the good faith of an honest soldier. From the political’ agitations and broils of Louisiana he has for some time stood aloof. He has doubtless been thought- fully, meantime, canvassing the ground, and casting about for some way of deliverance from these demoralizing and disorganizing discords between whites and blacks, threaten- ing, if not arrested in season, all the horrors of St. Domingo in a war of races. From his careful study of the delicate and difficult problem the General has reached what he considers the only practical solution in con- ceding to the blacks not only all that they demand, but all that they can possibly claim as equals with the whites under the constitu- tion and the laws of the Union and the State. His example and his influence in this matter among the controlling white elements of the State identified with the ‘ost cause,’’ we be- lieve, will be widely felt and made manifest in good results, not only in Louisiana, but thronghout the South. The comprehensive scheme of reconciliation he proposes. can be made effective only through the active co-ope- ration of the leading whites directly interested in the cause of law and erder, peace and pros- perity. They must prove their faith by their works, in order to convince the blacks that the prejudices of race and color born of negro slavery have, with all the other evils of slavery, passed away. The equal numerical strength of the two races in Louisiana is bringing them both to this broad platform of a definitive treaty of peace. General Beauregard is right in his congeption that in advancing to the blacks with the offering of equal rights in civil, political and religious affairs, from the church aud the school house to the public hotel, and from the State and national offices to the banks and insurance offices, and in everything else, he leaves no ground upon which to main- tain a black man’s party, but clears the way for the complete obliteration of all party lines on the basis of color. But how is it on the other side? Are the blacks, or, rather, are their designing and unscrupulous friends, known as the carpet-baggers, prepared to bury the hatchet? Let them be pushed to an answer to this question. The fruits of political equality to the blacks in South Carolina are exceedingly distasteful to the whites. If one may take the present political and financial condition of that State as a fair sample of the black man’s capabilities of self- government, he is a most despicable failure. But the responsible whites have permitted the State to go by default in not only allowing but in driving the blacks en masse over to the carpet-baggers. They have thus served as beaters of the bushes in driving the birds into the fowler’s net. This, too, when the simple figures of the census should have taught the white planters the imperfous necessity of practically outbidding the carpet-baggers for the black vote, What are the proportions of the population of South Carolipa eq between the mbites and the blacks? In the official returns of the cen- sus for 1870 they are thus represented :— White lation. 289,667 Colored population 415,814 Colored CXCEBB........-2060 seer eee eee wees 126,147 Hence the overwhelming defeats of the South Carolina whites as a party against the blacks under the ingenious manipulations of the carpet-baggers. Of course the State has been plundered by them without mercy, and the spoils have been. divided among them and their retainers without shame, though the State administration for several years has been utterly disgraceful. The remedy, however, is still in the hands ot the white planters and land owners, and it is the remedy propeged by General Beauregard for similar evils in Louisiana—the remody of concession to the blacks, covering all they claim and all they can desire. The two great misfortunes under which our reconstructed Southern States are now suffering are—First, 4 division of parties mainly upon the basis of color; second, shocking accumulations of corruptions, taxes and State debts in the ad- ministration of State affairs, which threaten most of them, from North Carolina to Louisi- ana, with bankruptcy. Harmonize whites and blacks politically and displace the carpet- baggers by bringing the responsible white tax- payer to the front, and not only will the first of these great evils be removed, but tho way will be opened for sound retrenchment and reform. As things have been aad as they are in the re- constructed States, the Southern white plant- ers and property-holders have been and are little better than the passive victims of organ- ized bands of robbers. These passive victims, nevertheless, in making the blacks their allies, have the power to put an end toall these abuses; and this is the moral of General Beau- Tegard’s plan for the redemption of Louisiana, PN nim et : Our Current Record of Rowdyism and Murder. Four marders signalize the opening of the present week. A sad commentary, truly, on our boasted civilization! Four brutal, inex- cusable, fiendish murders are added to the list of deeds of blood that disgrace our crimi- nal calendar. The week opened with an affray between brothers-in-law in a tenement house, during which one of the parties undertook to explain matters to the other with a hatchet. On the same evening a man was fatally stabbed in a drunken affray in a liquor store. After midnight the proprietor of another drinking saloon was desperately wounded by a knife at the hands of a man to whom he refused liquor. But the saddest case of all was the murder of Mrs. Gillen, at the age of eighteen years, by her husband, a worthy representative of tho corner loafer class. This last mentioned tragedy is of such an atrocious character that it calls for grave reflection. A beautiful young girl, employed in a store, forms the acquaintance of a good-looking but dissipated young man, whose principal occupation seems to have been loafing. She foolishly consents to marry this wretch, contrary to the wishes of her father, and, quickly ascertaining her ter- rible mistake, leaves her worthless husband and takes refuge with her parents. The hus- band killed her for this on Sunday night. We cannot speak too often of this frightful epoch of murder which seems to be now at its zenith in this city. It is useless to argue more on the inefficiency of the law on this subject. When murderers beeome the es- pecial prolégés of the Court and every obstacle is thrown before the wheels of justice we ean only wait patiently until such a monstrous outrage to civilization is removed from the statute book. The last session of the State Legislature was spent in purely political schemes, and nothing was done to secure the speedy punish- ment of assassins. Once in the Tombs the murderer finds numerous advocates, and the plain, unvarnished story of his. cowardly crime, when it is placed before the jury, be- NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, JUNE T9, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET. literati of his dominions.

We print this morning another letter from our correspondent in Spain who accompanied the forces of Don Carlos during part of the military operations and was captured by the regular troops at Peiiacerrada, after the flight of Dorregaray. His pictures of the Carlist military enterprises will be read with interest, but are not likely toadd much to American be- lief in the success of Carlism. Nor will his sketch of the warlike Ouré of Santa Cruz add much to the honor of Don Carlos’ cause, though it reflects credit upon Don Carlos himself for ordering the punishment of a priest for an offence which even the Curé’s oxplanation has not relioved from the appearance of being a murder of @ poor old man and a help- less woman. The episode is a curious one, and could scarcely occur any- where out of Spain. The Ouré’s speech will be read with avidity, and the whole matter cannot fail to elicit general attention as a curious phase in the condition of affairs among the Carlists. All the details of our correspondent in regard to the fighting of the Carlists ond the volun- teers will also attract much attention, for no newspaper has yet given so clear an idea of the strength and character of the Car- list insurrection, and, with the exception of an interview with Don Carlos some time ago, none of the utterances of that chieftain have been made public till tho publication of his. captured letters to Gengral Dorregaray. Tho ce kee Pas ‘hte detention by the republican forces and his temporary imprisonment by General Nouvillas, is another addition to the tales of Spanish in- justice to Hzraup representatives, It is to some extent a repetition of the outrages prac- tised upon Mr, O'Kelly and other of our correspondents in Cuba, Luckily his detention was not of long duration, and it did not prevent him from writing the interesting letters we are now publishing. These letters aro another illustration of the Herarp's news enterprise. It is no idle boast to say that, let events occur wherever they may, @ Hzraup correspondent is there to report them. We have told so far all that there was to be told of the Russian advance upon Khiva; we have revealed the secrets of the Cuban insurrection, giving to the whole world valuable information in re- gard to the condition of that island; and now we are printing full details, even to the marches and countermarches of the Carlists in Spain. No other correspondent has dared to face the dangers of this guerilla struggle, and in consequence no other newspaper is able to publish such valuable information in regard to the troubles which beset the new Spanish Republic. The Cholera at the Southwest—Pre- caution Necessary. Tho cholera, which was at New Orleans a short time since, though not in an alarming form, has gone up the Mississippi with the advancing column of Summer heat, and has ossumod a more serious character at Nashville and Memphis. Two deaths by it are reported at Cincinnati, which shows that it continues to advance northward and eastward. with the Summer weather. The mortality has been great both in Nashville and Memphis. In the former city there were thirty deaths yesterday. Taw Vienna Panto,—Tho echoes of the late financial disturbance in Austria are at last beginning to be heard. As has been all along predicted, the temporizing policy of the gov- ernment in aid of speculators has only served to prolong their agony, and now we see some of the legitimate results of the tremendous inflation that led to the ‘Black Friday’ on the Vienna Bourse. A decline in nearly every class of securities has followed, and, these being held by banks and bankers on their own account and on account of operators, the whole financial community of that Empire is involved and threatened with the most serious complications. So far from disappearing, the crisis seems to be only on the edge of culmi- nation, and the next tidings that come to our ears may tell how the fall of one brick has toppled over the entire pile.

Through the eee Three draymen were attacked on the street. There were eleven deaths yesterday at Mem- phis, To judge of this mortality in Nashville such a death rate from cholera in New York, in proportion to population, would be about eleven hundred deaths a day. It does not ap- pear, however, that the disease has assumed comes a tangled labyrinth of sophistry and irredeemable nonsense. When the jury find him guilty convenient judges and technical errors give him another lease of his life. Trial after trial may take place until the public for- gets the crime, and the execution. takes place when the very object for which it is. intended is no longer in the memory of the people, But in the murder of this girl-wife the per- nicious element of corner loaferism comes into prominence. There is a class of young men—we may call them boys—in this city, whose principal occupation consists of profanity, drunkenness and, —_oe- casionally, murder. Unhappily: this class is very large, and is constantly in- ereased by willing recruits. Parents. are too often to blame for the existence of such wretches, as they make poor attempts. to curb nascent depravity. The police willingly, or in despite of themselves, allow a gang of young ruffians to fester into crime at each prominent corner. ‘The marriage law is so lax in its provisions that any weak-minded girl may be persuaded into wedding one of these scoundrels, he natural result of such @ marriage is shown by Sunday night's tragedy. The remedy for such a disgraceful condition of affairs in society is plain. A criminal law, unencumbered with vexatious delays and miserable subterfuges; stern, un- compromising action on the part of the po- lice toward corner loafers, and a more rigid enforcement of the laws which should protect the sacred institution of matrimony, will ‘be found efficient checks to the present avalanche of murder in this city. Tae Suan or Persta in Evotanp.—His Majesty Nassr-ed-Din, the Shah of Persia, crossed from the Continent to Dover, England, yesterday. Helanded on the soil of Britain at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon. The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Arthur and the Mayor and Corporation of Dover received him on behalf of the Crown and in the name of the municipality and the people of Britain. The visiting potentate, wao is an accomplished scholar and linguist, returned thanks by assur- ing his hosts that he knew he was ‘among friends.’’ The Shah, attended by the mem- hers of his suite and accompanied by the English princes, was conveyed from Dover to Charing Cross station, London, in a special train. The Prince of Wales received the party at the metropolitan landing, and subse- quently entertained the foreign Sovereign at Marlborough House. The Shah brings over to England a great numberof Asiatic ariste- orats of the very purest blood, with a strong force of Eastern courtiers, and a few savans the worst type. The deaths were mostly among that class of persons who take least care of themselves, and principally among, the blacks. Wecan imagine the havoc cholera might make in this city among the tenement houses and filthy quarters if it should reach here. There is the most urgent necessity, for the city authorities, and particularly all those connected with the Health Department, to:see that the city be thoroughly cleaned and disin- fectants used in every locality where cholera is likely to-find a lodgement. Vigilance is the word. Norshould there be any parsimony or false economy with regard to using whatever money is needed to prevent disease and to make the city healthy.

Asa piece of dramatic work the play is very well done—as well at least asis possi- ble where it is based upon a popular novel, The story we need not relate, though some of the good people who volunteer Opinions at the clese of the piece congratu- lated each other on the happy issue, having apparently never heard of Charlotte Bronte or her books. So far as the cast went, there were three good representations—Miss Thompson's Jane, Mr. Harkins’ Lord Rochester and Mr. Mongomery’s Jacob Buttercup. As a faithful picture of the English steward, or upper servant, the part last named ‘was anything else than excellent, but its grotesque- ness and absurdity made it amusing. Mr. Harkins’ brusque ways harmonized well with the hara character of Lord Rochester, and his per- formance was accordingly extremely satis- factory. Of Miss Thompson’s impersonation of the heroine two opinions may be expressed, and both are equally true, She is unequal to, ‘ying this or any other piece on her own sitoulders, At the same time she gives a very fair interpretation ofthe part. Her acting, as far as it goes, is not blurred by mannerisms, assumptions “JANE EYRE" or affectations. What it lacks is grace and finish, for she manag a fine perception of the subtieties of charactér in Miss Bronte’s wonderfw creation, and needs only the power of outward expression. Ifshe were nota star we might predict that she would become an actress. As it Is, it is probable long continuance and should have been abated many months ago. People living within a radius of half mile or more from this. offal depot hawe been obliged for a long time to breathe an atmosphere in the Summer months foul with corruption and pestilence arising from the process of boiling offensive matter in the above locality, That it is to besoon abated will be a subject of rejoicing through the she will play her one part to the end, and never a4 it with positive power or absurd inanity. et she possesses youth, the pecular beauty which befits her profession—her large, lus- trous eyes ber im themseives a great dramatic force, and in so far as a single represen- tation of a single character enabies. us to judge- the germs of genius.

Conviction oF Miss Susan B. AnrHony.— We learn by & despatch from Canandaigua, N. ¥., which we publish to-day that Miss Susan B, Anthony, who made the daring experiment of testing the right of a woman to vote, has been found guilty of a violation of the laws of the United States. The case was fairly argued on both sides, and the charge of Judge Hunt is explicit enough on the ques- tion about which Miss Anthony and her sister agitators have been so long concerned. The champions of woman's rights must try again before they attain the object of their dearest hopes—petticoats at the polls.

The President afterwards went to the Capitol and personally urged legisla- tion, as did aiso Attorney General Wiliams, but without success.

The points it is contemplated visiting for thia purpose @re mainly in the Southern Indian Ocean, Australia and the adjacent islands. There will eounels be four parties, six persons in each, assigned at different points, The Western party at Hobartstown, Van Dieman's Land; a second party at Kerguelan’s Land, in the South Indian Ocean; a third party at Viadistovak, on the Asiatic coast of Kussia, and the fourth at some island adjacent to Australia.
