Russian Influences, Financial and Political.
[Orenburg May 22 correspondence of the st. Peters
burg Exchange Gazette.)
Two days ago million OF rOubles were sent to
Tashkend to be applied to the conquest OF Khokan
and Bokhara Between these two Khanates, and
also khlva and Afghanistan an alliance has been
concluded against Russia, In consequence of which
there has already been an encounter between our
troops and the enemy, near the Djusak lines. We
have also private intelligence that the native popula
ton Of Turkstan, after the introduction of the new
administrative arrangements and the increase Of
taxation, has assumed hostile attitude towards this
government. THIS is confirmed by report from Iset
kutobaro1 the cheftain Of the KabakoR and TlavofY
sections OF the Tchikn tribe, in which he says that
with the new regulations in the Sirdarya province,
the Khirgesians nomadizing In those parts looking
upon 1t as an infringement OF their personal liberty
emigrated-some to Bokhara and some to the
Tchiklin people in Orenburg. The Turkoman and
Adayefzi likewise made their peace with the Khan
OF Khiva and remained in the neighbOrhood of
khiva and Urgench, there TO pass the summer with
their cattle. Many absurd rumors unfavorable to
the Russians were afioat. And oil this has been
caused by premature innovations Had the new ar
rangements been first tried in the Khirgese districts
OF Orenburg and then been gradually extended, the
day might have arrived for increasing with safety
the kibtka tax. IL would have been also advisable
to supersede military by civil government, as has
been done with so much advantage in the Khir-
gese districts OF Orenburg where the names Of their
Russian benefactors are well remembered and highly
respected by the people.

New York, April 23.--0ne of the ma

charged with committing horrible out
rage upon boy ten years of age, an in

such frauds are not to be expected. The

WAsHIHGToN, April 2l.-Speculation
is rife on the result Of the impeachment
trial, and betting men are laying wagers
thereon. fs--
A large amount Of money has been
bet, and, Notwithstanding the general
impression that the President will be
convicted, several wsgers that be would
not be were declined.
In racing parlance, Johnson is the
favorite tonight. Il.
An enthusiastic Western Radical
offered to put up one thousand dollars
that Trumbull, Of Illinois, would vote
for conviction. 1t was not taken, as he,
next TO Sherman, is considered the most
doubtful by both sides. Wade told a
| friend to day be felt certain that John
son would be removed, but he intended
10 keep his own counsel about appoint
ments until the duty deyolved on him to
make them.
The statements that he contemplates
this or that person for the Cabinet are
altogether unreliable, but it is uniformly
conceded that Butler can have the
Treasury; and il Stanton determines to
retire, he will, at the request Of the party,
accent the War Office. 10 such event il
ia believed that Senator Morgan, Of Nev
York. will be McCulloch's successor.
