The Fine Arts.

The press and the public seem to be unani-
nous in the opinion that the present exhibition
of the National Academy of Design, although
confessedly an Improvement upon the last ex-
hibition, indicates by no means a flourishing
condition of American art. The galleries of
the Academy are less crowded with visitors
than several picture galleries on Broadway
and Fifth avenue. Many of the older and
most distinguished academicians have failed to
exhibit any of their own works this year. A
large number of them are abroad and may be
charitably supposed to be busy upon works
which will sustain il not advance their reputa-
ton. Moreover, not few of our best and
most popular artists are not academicians.
Whatever may be the cause of the apparent
decline of American art, so far as it is repre-
sented by the National Academy, let us hope
that this decline is apparent rather than real.
The American eye is yearly becoming better
educated to see and appreciate what is excel
lent in art. Let our painters and sculptors
and architects be stimulated and not discour-
aged by the higher standard of public taste.
The growing demand for art must eventually
meet with corresponding satisfactory supply.
The summer tours for which our New York
artists are now preparing will doubtless
enable them to bring back portfolios full of
studies on which they may base works supe-
rior to any which they have hitherto pro-
duced.
The New York herald., 1869-05-10

all events, as this Pacific Railroad Is
altogether our own, our own work and on our
own soil, it is meet, now that the underta king
is completed, that we should rejoice and be ex-
ceeding glad. We are the youngest OF the
peoples, but we are teaching the world how to
march forward. Egypt built her pyramids,
Greece built her temples, Rome constructed
her roads; but the bulk of the pyramids, the
beauty of the temples, the utility of the Roman
roads, are all lost sight of in view of this last
great work of the young giant of the West.

ears will be as follows :

Here we find that, although, as compared
with our first plan, we fall eight hundred
millions behind at the end Of twenty years in
the reduction of the debt itself, we gain at the
end of ten years say thirty-one millions, and
in the twentieth year over sixty-two millions in
the reduction of the interest. In other words,
these sums are so much gained in the reduc-
ton of our annual taxes But this is too slow,
much too slow, for the age we live in. If Mr..
Boutwell, could afford to invest two millions of
gold weekly for the purchase of the bonds he
could wipe out the whole debt, principal and
interest, inside of twenty years but as IL ap
pears he cannot do this, what else can be do

The Pacific Railroad.

To-day one of the grandest of human under
takings will be completed. Upwards of three
thousand miles Of rail, carried across and
through every conceivable kind of obstacle,
will connect San Francisco with the great
cities of the Atlantic coast. Rejoicings have
already taken place in several centres in pros
pect of its completion. To-day, however, will
be day Of general rejoicing in every city of
the Union. Since the successful laying of the
Atlantic cable no such event has happened.
Two such events are sufficient to give undying
fame TO the later years of the nineteenth GEN.
tury. Looking to what has been accomplished
by the steamboat, by the railroad, by the cleo
trio telegraph, we are certainly warranted in
saying we live in an age of progress. What is,
however, is but an earnest of what is TO be.
Greater things than these are in store for us.
The Suez Canal will soon add another to the
many triumphs which mind has won over mat
ter. The Darien Canal will follow. Sea will
no longer be divided from sea. The great
pathways Of commerce will be multiplied and
made easy. Commercial interests will bind
the nations together, will hurry forward the
work Of civilization, and, by identifying the
interest OF the one with the interest of the
many, will beget feeling of universal brother
hood. The age of knights, kings, emperors
and petty republics is rapidly passing away,
and the finger of progress points to one grand
federation, which will embrace all man kind.

more would it prosper under the blessed sun

The Tax Levy and Our City improvements.

haN Levy Our lily improvements
We published yesterday sensible letter Of
Mayor Hall to the legislators at Albany, on
the garbled and innammatory representations
respecting the tax levy Of this city, and the
disposition Of the country members to ''com-
pound for sins they are inclined to, by damn
ing those they have no mind to-" He shows
that the tax levy as prepared for the present
year is really smaller in rate than the one next
preceding, and will be less in the aggregate by
ut least two millions and half of dollars.
When we take into consideration the fact that
Mayor Hall proposes to expend large
amount Of the revenue of the coming year ON
works of public Improvement, which will ma
terially increase the taxable property in tho
city, it will be seen that his position Is q right
and just one, and that il entities him TO the
support of our citizens.
The improvements he contemplates are nu-
merous and important, and we know very well
