The Academy OF Fine Arts.

1t was hoped by the friends of art in this
city that when the directors of the Academy
of Fine Arts sold their lot on Chestnut street,
between Tenth and Eleventh, with the avowed
intention of procuring better site and putting
up building larger and better adapted to the
uses of the institution than the old one, an en-
tirely fresh departure would be made, and espe-
cially that an earnest effort would be made to
secure greater amount of popular sympathy and
support than heretofore, which would enable the
Academy to be what it professed-an art school
as well as an art museum. The defects of the
system upon which the Academy has been
managed for the last three-quarters of cen,
tury are radical, and as its directors have
chosen to make 1t close corpora
tion, and to jealously guard against
any outside interferences, so they now
find that the public at large, including the great
manufacturing interests of this city-which,
whether they know it or not, are deeply con-
cerned in the existence of properly conducted
art school-are perfectly Indifferent to the fate
of the institution, and will lend no assistance to
its revival. The directors have purchased site
which Is in many respects very suitable one,
but they have been unable to obtain any contri-
buttons towards new building, and every at
tempt thus far made In this direction has come
10 nothing. In fact, the public are strongly
convinced that the Academy of Fine Arts is, in
no proper sense Of the word, public institu-
tion, and that the chief end of its existence has
been, not to educate American artists. but &c
enable small coterie of very respectable and
eminently worthy gentlemen to enjoy q certain
distinction as art patrons. If thii
has not been the end for which
the Academy has existed, it is all events abou
the only practical result IL has accomplished; fol
its alumni who have achieved permanent sue
cess have almost without exception been thos,
who have finished their art education in Eu
rope. 1t is no wonder, then, that II has beeI

HEAVY Snow STORMS in The Rocky Noun
tains and in the Wahsatch range of Utah have
already occurred, interrupting the work Of The
miners and leaving some of them in danger
of q serious fast from The difficulty Of getting

SHOWS in the far West, for in those new States

WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT IT.--Deputy
Comptroller Green says that our glorious
election twill improve the credit Of the city
at home and abroad" and that even to-day he
is confident any amount Of money could be
raised in Wall street al low rate" Mr..
OConcr is enthusiastic over the Waterloo
defeat Of Tammany, and says, ''there is no
Intention whatever Of abating The vigor of the
prosecution against the Ring thieves" General
Barlow. Attorney General elect, says that the
publication Of our city government will he
complete, and that call Of that miserable
coterie OF Tsmmany republicans now holding
Office in the several departments are forever
politically crushed. Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden
goes for sweeping reforms, and says that in
his opinion Senator Tweed will not be allowed
20 take his seat, aud that both Tweed and
Fields ought TO be expelled from the Legis-
lature. Jenny OBrien says, "Oh, o month
ago expected this. l knew there couldn't
be any doubt about it, And here endeth on,

THE BRooKi.yH REPUBLICANS and Kelb-
feisch democrats are i day after the feast.
Instead of uniting before the election to defeat
what they term the Ring, they ran separate
tickets, aud naturally were handsomely de-
feated. Now they arc holding great meetings
to protest against frauds at the ballot boxes,
and otherwise flashing themselves into fury
over the result that their own imbecility
brought about Brooklyn doubtless has very
magnificent Ring, and until her honest people
learn TO sacrifice their private prejudices to the
one aim OF ovcrthrowing II the Ring will trl-
umpbantly bold It's own.

THERE WAS LITTLE OF IMPORTANCE trans
acted about the City Hall yesterday, the de-
feated Tammany men very generally feeling dis
posed to keep quiet. II is thought that the pres
ent Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen mean
trouble to somebody or other, as they are
highly indignant at their defeat-each of them
having been mulcted in about two thousand
dollars to secure the passage of the bill extend
ing their terms through the Legislature last
winter. With the blindness Of disappointed
politicians they now feel that they have been
swiudled. Mr.. OConor, in an interview yes
terday, stated that the result of the elections
would have no effect upon the prosecution Of
suits sued out by the reformers against Ring
men except to encourage counsel in their
efforts. He thought that Tweed would GER
tainly be ruled out of his seat in the Senate
lie also thought that Tom Fields would
be ruled out Of The Assembly. That gentle
man was arrested yesterday, aud gave bail
in 800, 900 TO answer.

Ex-AssEMBLyMAN JAMES IRvIEG, whose
hasty temper and ready fist brought him to
grief at Albany last session, has, according to
the charge of deputy United States Marshal,
been indiscreet in similar way down here
He was arrested yesterday, charged with
assaulting this deputy and beating him SO
severely that his life is in danger. United
States Commissioner White heard the case
yesterday and let Irving go on his
own recognizance but he was Immediately re-
arrested, taken before United States Commits
sioner Davenport, manacied and consigned to
Ludlow Street Jail. II is due to Irving TO say
that he utterly denies having been even pres
eut at the beating of the Marshal, having
passed along the neighborhood in carriage
at the time the fight was progressing. A writ
Of habeas corpus was Immediately sued out by
his counsel, and it will be argued before Judge
Woodruff this morning, when we shall hear
further OF what on its face appears to he q
very summary proceeding.
