We showed the other day how badly we are
of for portraits Of late President We ought to
have spoken If MI Carpenters portrait In bis picture
Of "The Reading OF the Emancipation Proclamation 10
the Cabinet" the nearest approach TO satisfactory
likeness: We had, however. already praised that pic
fure more than ever valuable; q " orb. indeed
which better deserves q place In the National Capitol
than airy picture there except perhaps the nnch.id
cuIed but ludeniably historical Signing Of the Dccli
ration by Trumbul 1t ID mortying fact To record
that while Mr.. Carpenters conscientious. faithful pic

refused place In the Capitol room Yves easily nude

the DE Soto discovering the Mississippi which enjoys
the double distinction II dsfcufne the Rmunda ard
the back Of our National Bank Notes. What the
subject Of Mr.. Powells picture IL to BE- We do not
know; DO more does be- but probably the only fact
equally interesting to the artist and the people Is that
We pay twenty five thousand dollars for whatever MIR
Powell may choose TO paint rs. Neither subject nor
size were stipulated for.
But II we cannot have Mr. Carpenters picture OF the
President tic Rotunda at least each OF us may have
good bust OF Mr.. Lincoln in his parlor. Mr. Jones
Of Cincinuuti has produced bust which rs likeness
may be entirely depended on. and which is also
striking object in itself No could pass 1t in the
street without seeing that is the head Of remarkable
