Don't LIKE 1.-THE nomination OF Mr..
d. Miller as member of the TerritOria al
Council causes no little feeling about town, and
seems TO DO especially distasteful to our Ger
man citizens, in view Of the fact that he is
supposed to be appointed as representative OF
the German element OF our population. A
derutauon OF leading Germans waited upon
Gov. Cooke this morning, and warmly remon-
strated against the appointment. There is a
good zeal OF enquiry as to who recommended
Miller for the place. or by whose infiu-
ence 1t was secured, as it seems to be conceded
that Gov Cooke is not responsible for the an
1t, and the general verdict seems TO be that in
the language of Daniel Webster, il was one "not
ut to be made" IL seems to be thought that
the nomination will be withdrawn, and that in
il 10 motif will be rejected bv the Senate.
GEN. X. Il. CowEN, the newly appointed AS
sistant Secretary Of the Interior, is an Ohioan
by birth, and has been a resident of that State
until the preseht time. In early life be studied
medicine, but shortly abandoned that profes-
nr fha ld sal aAn,r
tor about fourteen years with great credit t.
himself and the occupation of his choice. In
1861 he entered the military service in the ca
pacity Of lieutenant, but was the same year
appointed paymaster In the volunteer service
by Secretary Stanton. He was also elected
Secretary of State of Ohio the same wear hut
only held the offc for three months, resgninp
II TO retain his place In the army, which he held
until January. 1864, when he was appointed
Adjutant General Of the State, filing this place
for four years. Since then he has been en-
Raged IN banking, manufacturing and mercan-
the pursuits. He lie now Supervisor of Internal
Revenue for the district OF Southern Ohio
The fact that he has nlled the various places
TO which he has been called with decided credit
public, is the best guarantee of his fitness for
the present position. That he will I'LL il ably
and accePtably, no one who knows him will for
. moment doubt.
FINE ART.-Ulke. the artist has under way
in his studio life-size three-quarter length Dor
uSit oI NIX. a. H. SnepnerQ, In oil colore, which
promises to be one OF the best portraits and most
deliberately finished pictures Of its GLASS painted
in this city for q long time. The common I'm.
preston that MIR. like is q Photographic artist
only, and rests his reputation on that branch of
portraiture, does him grave injustice. The fact
IS, he has been thoroughly trained in both the
principles and technique Of art in the best schools
OF Europe, and this training he Is no v turning
to good account, as his recenty painted portraits
and the numerous sketches and finished places
on bis walls fully attest. His studio is vel
worth visit
- MI. EdmundSon has Just completed at his
studio, on 18th street, pair Of faithful like
Desses, the subjects being the Mayor and Mrs
Emery. The portraits are life-size busts and
they can hardly fail TO satisfy both the sitters
and their many friends and acquaintance As
well on account Of the faithful manner in which
the likeness is preserved as Of general treat
ment. Mr.. Edmundson has also on exhibition
number of fruit pieces Of his own production
which must find many admirers among those
whose taste lies in that direction.

be worth considerable to pleasure seekers aud
lovers OF art to drop into epository OF beautiful
things without going out Of the usual route of a
fashionable stroll-to pass, as it we're, In an in-
slant from the rush and hurry OF busy life to the
quiet abode OF nrt. We doubt not Mr.. Barlow
VIII ind both pleasure and profit in the change.
