PrsssrLyAsIA.-In the SENATE, Mr.. Dunlap offer
ed joint resolution instruciing our senator's and
representatives in Congress to their influence to
procure an amendment TO the constitution Of the

choosing presidential electors, and allowing the
people 10 vote directly for the candidate for Pres
ident and Vice President Of the United States.
A resolution, "that our senators and represent
atives in Congress be- and they hereby required
to oppose all attempts TO alter modify the tariff OF
Of the 3Oth Of August, 1912" being offered, Mr.
Black concluded some observations in opposition To
the preamble, with the declaration "but that Con-

MR.. ACKERM AN.

We must again be permitted to speak Of our
young friend, the artist Ackermans, beautiful speci
mems of photographic coloring. We had thought
that his illustrations of Catn's wild Of the
West, had already raised the character of American
proficiency in the art of illustration to an emnence
which could scarcely be surpassed but now that we
have seen his later works-his limitations Of the eel
cbrated Julien's hesds---of the beautiful works of
Emile Lascelles, and Of the master tprits Of tho.
graphic art, and especially since we have seen chef
deupre of his coloring--the coronation Of Queen
Victoria, done to life from miniatures Of all the disn
guished pcrsonages who figured in that pageantry-
we are still more gra,i6ed to find our first impress
sions amply confirmed. We arc still free to COM
mend the execution and finish of his work to the
patronage Of the public. We find, too, that in our
admiration We are sustained by the warmest euo-
gums Of the artist, coming from men of the finest
taste--from the lamented Inman, whose early de-
mise is a national loss-from Professor Patterson,
who has engaged him upon anatomical plates-from
hosts Of Others and by the public press, we believe,
without exception.
He is a young man, and ardcnily ambitious OF
fame. We advise him, then, to continue to sub
nit his works to the severest scrutiny Of connois-
seurs that he may be able TO correct any defects into
which he may fall. Let him have the moral courage
TO listen to the frank and impartial criticisms Of ex-
perienced artists s by patient and unremited stu
dy, and wisely prohtng by the freest criticism Of
others, that he may approach nearer the perfection
to which he sspires. Thus only artist succeed
in making it national boast that America can
excel Europe in the useful as well as the charming
art Of illustration. .HHT.
We are fully aware how much this is desired by
the scientific men Of this country. The traveller,
the naturalist, all need the aid Of pictorial ilustra.
ton to pourusy the wonders Of art, nature, or their
conceptions Of genius. For ourselves, we enjoy the

A correspondent Of the New York Commercial
Advertiser is making new complaint about the
public printing. Does he know the facisl We do
him the justice to suppose that he does not that
whilst he notices the delay Of the treasury report,

not know the extent to which this voluminous re-
port, monument Of the abors Of the department,

figure work. the sowest and most difficult of all spe-
cies of printed matter to execute. Instead Of about

il will probably run out to about 900-as heavy a
volume as the message and documents. We assure
members of Congress- and the people at large, that
no exertions are spared, no time lost, in passing
through the press, with all possible rapidity, this
important document. Last session the report filed
some "a pages; now il will spread out to near 900.

Washington, Jan. %, 1886.


To the Editor Of the Union: &c., .
sin: In the Union Of last night the report Of MIR.
CocKE's speech has the following: @@E
"Mr. WENTWORTH said that no man on that floor
would accuse him Of advocating any such doctrine.
The report had been drawn up by Mr.. A. v.
Brown; and Mr.. w. had disclained the position in
minority report"
Which is all correct, save that made no allusion
to a minority report, and there was none.
So unimportant an individual as myself would
hardly be justified in imposing minority report on
the House for such qualified expression a. the
following; r.
"Tbe giving of that notice being matter Of res-
ty stipulation, belongs, PERHAPS, exclusively 10
the Executive, whose province there is no occs-
sion, and the committee have no inclination, to in
trude.n .. r. ~. n.
My votes for all measures tending to the immedi-
ate and direct giving Of the notice, and immediate
and direct possession of all OF Oregon to the Russian

best definition ! can give Of my position. And M

"DEAh sIRi have heard numerous rumors that
are hoatng about in this city, and will give you
few Of them. There is no doubt some grand scheme
10 going forward among the European courts. One
Of the rumors is, that Of the of the King OF
France il 10 marry the hJania OF Spain, and take
possession Of Mexico and give il back to Spain.
The court Of Madrid will appoint the son Of Louis
Philippe Regent Of Mexico. There appears some
truth IN this rumor, we have large Spanish feet
in the harbor, and large French heet is expected
here to act in concert with the Spanish. England
will have large number OF ships Of war to cruise
in the Gulf Of Mexico.

her share, Madam Rumor does not say, but only
hints al Upper California, the eastern half Of Gu
ba, say TO the longitude Of 70, as this part OF the
island will be nearer her possessions The court OF
Madrid does not like the idea OF giving England a
foothod In Cuba, from this island Spain derives
nearly all her revenue, and she knows full well that
if England once raises the cross Of 81. George in
Cuba, the whole island is lost 10 her and IN lieu OF
this will offer 10 Victoria Porto Rico. ..

is no doubt trying to effect revolution in Mexico
through the army, by working on their feelings
against the United States for annexing Texas. As
Santa Ana is in the power of the Spanish govern
