INMAN's PICTURE FOR THE RoTUN-

We are glad to learn that Mr.. Huntington has
offered to paint the great national picture which
inman was employed to produce for the embellish-
ment of the Rolunda IN the Capitol at Washing
ton, and Of which he had only made the study or
small sketch, when the reverse in his fortunes
and the failure Of his health obliged him to give
all his attention to the supply of The daily wants
of his family, whenever his strength would allow,
by the resource Of porirais painting.
This is an exceedingly liberal proceeding on the
part of MIR. Huntington, inasmuch as more than
half OF the price Of the picture has been already
paid, and his offer is to furnish the picture fr The
remainder. Mr.. Huntington. who now enjoys
brilliant and growing reputation, was pupil Of
lnman, and this is an act of piety to the memory
ct a friend and man Of @ MUS. The permission
of Congress must FIRST be obtained, and it will no
doubt be Instantly granted. Mr.. HonIngIon's
powers have been much exercised in historical
painting, and nobody who is all familiar with his
works can douhi Of his ability to produce nation
al picture, which will do honor TO the state Of the
arts in this country.

bate Mr.. Mangum remarked. he disapproved of
the whole course Of the present administration.

been carried on. This. as matter Of course, was
replied to by the democratic side of the house,
Mr. Allen called upon the gentleman 10 test the
