The French Relief Collection,

Some time ago we announced that the French
artists had resolved to mark their sympathy for the
afflicted people of Chicago by making donation Of
pictures which should be disposed Of in the man.
ner deemed best by committee of Americans on
this side Of the water. The success which attended
the proposed donation Of paintings was so great
that the projectors in Paris exhibited the collection
as striking proof Of the intimate sympathy of
France for America. Some or the pictures have
been painted in Illustration of the event which has
called the collection into being, and will acquire
new value from this circumstance After some
delay the pictures have actually arrived in New
York. There was some doubt as to what was the
proper course to pursue, in view OF the fact that
Chicago possessed already large surplus
fund contributed for the relief OF her
necessitous citizens, and that the authorities were
puzzled to know what to do with it. Under these
circumstances it was suggested that the collection
should be kept together in some gallery in Chicago
as lasting proof of the sympathy of France.
Other views, we believe, have prevailed and the
collection will be sold by auction at an early
day by order of the committee who have charge Of
the matter here.

ART MATTERS.



Since the season of picture buying was ushered In
by the sale OF Mr. Whites paintings no collection
displaying so much taste, combined with the knowl-
edge OF the cOnnOtsser, has been presented to the
public. We have here strkingly displayed the DIFF
ferent results which come from patronage of art by
those who know and the results obtained by men
who are only capable Of admiration. The Lock
wood collection was an example of the latter phase
OF patronage. 1t was confused tumble
OF paintings, some good and many Indifferent,
brought together by a man anxious to be patron
OF art and a collector. Unfortunately for the
rich, wealth can never replace culture, and hence
we have so many private galleries that to the visitor

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on Wednesday, a bill
was introduced appropriating 800, 600
to enable the President to carry out
the provisions of the civil-service re-
form measures. The Chicago Relief bill
was taken up, and passed as reported by
the committee.
In the House of Representatives, Ben
Butler, having obtained the requisite
permission, presented a petition from
the women of the United States for a
declaratory law to assure them rights of
suffrage, which was referred to the
judiciary Committee. The House went
into committee ofthe whole on the Gen.
eral Civil Appropriation bill.
In the United States Senate on Thurs.
day bill was introduced to prohibit
American citizens from engaging in the
South Sea Island slave trade. The APP
portionment bill was taken up, in the
House, resolution was adopted call

Grant rs n Defaulter,

Grant having acknowledged himself
TO be a defaulter to the Government,
by giving his check for $4,000 in pay
ment of the claim against him, the
question now arises as to whether he
will pay the interest on this sum which
amounts TO $4,000 or so, the interest ex.
ceeding the principal. For some twen-
ty years this Indebtedness has stood on
the books of the War Department and
at last the $4,000 is paid but the interest
is not. If Grant is desirous of reform
here is fine opportunity to convince
people that he is i'll earnest. If poor
man was indebted to the Government
there would be but little doubt as to his
being required to pay interest, and
there is no reason why so rich man,
as Grant, should be relieved from this
obligation. The wealth which he has
acquired has been bestowed upon him
by admiring friends and devoted office
seekers and as it has cost him nothing
to acquire he should be willing to part
with a small amount to settle his ac.
counts. Grant is an expensive luxury
but the people are not anxious to In.
crease his costliuess by paying the inter.
est Of his debts.

The smallest act of the small Presi-
dent who now rules America has just
been committed. General Halleck, in
charge of the Department of the West.
is dead. To succeed him, no one is
eligible but General Hancock, than
whom braver or more worthy soldier
does not live. But General Hancock
does not admire the receiver of goods
or the fancier of bull.pups, and is above
concealing the fact. Hence, to vent Il
personal spite, the little fellow in the
Presidential chair has recourse to a new
expedient. He simply abolishes the
department. This, we take it, is the
meanest act of petty personal spite in
interference with public duty that has
yet come to light. If the department
was not necessary, why was itkept up,
at such great expense, under General
Halleck? Was it merely to provide
that officer with semblance of duty ?
If it was so necessary then, how can it
be dispensed with now without detri-
ment to the public service? Will some OF
Mr.. Grants admirers please answer

Friday, February g, 1879,
Tho T,afe Elections.

The riotous and disgraceful proceed
ings which attended the nomination of
Henry w. Gray, for Senator from the
Fourth District, were reproduced on a
larger scale in the election of Tuesday
last. Gangs of roughs and repeaters
held full sway and rows and rioting
were the rule. The police were in most
cases participants or leaders of these
riots and were to be seen in full uni
form drunk and fighting furiously
Hundreds Of illegal votes were polled
and the elec ton was perfect farce. In
one precinct the ballot boxes were ut
terly destroyed. Gray's majority is
said to be SS7. Col. Mcclure has an
nnounced his intention of contesting
Gray's seat. A fine commentary this
on the "Higb Moral Ideas" which are
said to govern this Republican party.

THE N. Y. Tribune speaking of the
Custom House Investigations, says that
one Of its reporters bas collected. from
various merchants, bills rendered by
Leet & Co., compared them with Others
of the bonded warehousemen, and
establishes that the General Order fa-
vorites have charged in some instances
25O and 800 per cent more than they
had any right to demand. The state
ments are made on the authority in
every instance of the members of the
firms or their authorized clerks, who
are ready to establish them on oath and
by documents.
And further remarks, that if tn dis.
graceful General Order business at that
port is not doomed to be swept away
out of existence, then there is no virtue
in investigations. The proceedings be-
fore the Senate Committee on Custom
House abuses, recently, will convince
every candid man that shameful, out
rageous, and scandalous imposition has
been practiced upon the business COM
munity ever since Col. Leet's company
has had the General Order business.

on the Goth of May was debated. Mr..
Schurz moved, as test question, an
amendment that Congress shall not
adjourn until the passage of law for

been amended to remove the duty on
coal, were voted down. The resolution,
after long debate, was adopted by n

ing yes. The vote on the appor ton
ment will be taken to day.

whole on the appropriation for general

gent both denounced the extravaganza
ofthe Printing Department. After go.
ing over the whole of the bill the Pen
sion Appropriation bill was taken up.
The committee then rose and reported
both bills to the House, which at once
| adopted them. The General Legislative
bill calls for near $4,000, 900, and the
Pension bill for $50, ,4SO, 900.

tits with the keenest sense of pleasure
we learn that the House Committee on
Elections have denied seat In Congress
to this obnoxious demagogue. A rene
gade Democrat, who left the party when
it ceased to hold power, he was just the
man needed for the Republicans; one
who was possessed of effrontery enough
to advocate any scheme for partisan
purposes. We do earnestly trust that
hereafter he may be allowed to remain
in obscurity. He is one of class OF
third rate political hacks with whose
services the country can very we'll dis
pense, and whose absence from legisla-
tive bodies can but result in benefit to
the country.

TIE late James Fisk, Jr. was a re-
markably good judge of men and to his
ability in this way may be attributed
much of the success which he attained
and the power which he possessed. In
speaking Of General Grants contribu-
tion to the fund Of General Rawlings,
the late Secretary OF War, which was
psid by Fisk and Gould.
Fisk once said "Grant is not only a
greedy little wretch, but he's fool.
He don't, know anything; he hasn't
brains enough to comprehend the po-
sition in which such thing places him
before the country. All that he can see
in the matter is that he saved thousand
dollars by it; ne is too destitute
Of sensibiIity to comprehend what
to say about the subscription being a
sacred Offering upon the altar of friend
ship. He is incapable of true friendship,
and never felt any Of the sentiments
which true friendship inspires. To sum
him up in one sentence, he is the ma
tional hog"
