History Correcting Art.

I One half lf the barber shops and country tav-
erns in Europe, Asia, Africa, America and Austria
liza, contain picture of 'tNapoleon crossing the
Alps.'' The great soldier is mounted on an exT
ceedingly large, fat charger, that is standing upon
its hind legs, and paving the'aif. Napoleon keeps
his seat, in defiance OF the laws figTaTftht6li He
wears flowing and yoluminous cloak, which sets
off his uniforms with his night hand he IS pointing
ito the summitof the mountains; he appears TO be
cheering on the countless host by which he is pre-
ceded, followed and surrounded; and, in general,
is COMFORTING himselflikea popular circus rider
Since NJ. Theirs narrated the exact mode in which
Napoleon did Cross the Alps, the French artists !
have been busy IN representing it; and we see in
our shop windows the true version OF the story
recorded in Steel=pla engravings. Perhaps some
of our readers may not remember the corrective pas
sage, in ThieH "ConSulate and Empire.H t'The
arts," says N b Theirs, "have represented Napol-
con bounding across the snowy Alps on fiery
charger, but here is the truth unvarnished. He as
cended Mount st. Bernard mounted on a mule,
dressed in the grey great coat which he always
wore, conducted by guile of the country; dis
playing in the most difficult paths the abstactious
of mind occupied elsewhere, discoursing whit
officers whom he met, here and there, on the road;
| and thln, at intervals, conyesing with the guide
who accompanied him, making him talk Of bis life,
his pleasures and his troubles like some bayelleE-
who had no better occupation" The true picture
is infinitely more pleasing and romantic than the
fiction, but it viii be long ere it travels as far gf

deem II proper for and my duty 70 the Senate to
state in my place here what has been done by the
mittee in regard to it, For this purpose win read

Mr. President it is due myself to remark the fact
that these resolutions Of the Printing Committee were
adopted without my concurrence l was present when
the first was adopted and absent when the two last
adopted In my opinion the committee have the
power here exercised under the joint resolution Of August
g. 1886, under which the Committee Printing rails
cd, and under which 1t has acted up to this time and is
now acting There many members of both houses Of
Congress, and particularly Of the Senate who dissent
from this opinion who do believe that the committee
have any such power, but the contrary believe that
when there is failure the part Of the contractor
in the present instance to comply with his obligations
