Washington Correspondence Of tho Geo Pork Herald.
The mystery Of the Capitol just now is d huge
roll Of what might be taken for oil-cloth down
in the basement, but which is probably an un-
Congress, in 3 fit of patriotism stimulated BY
Farraguts bravery, commissioned William Pow
ell to paint an historical picture for the Capt.
tol which should record the gallant exploits
OF our navy. The price stipulated was So 900
On signing the contract 81 900 per annum for
four successive years, and 81, 600 when the pic
ture YVES finished, making S25, 900 in all. Powell
began to draw the money, but was slow about
drawing his picture, and when, in 1870r he had
pocketed $13, 900, the Congressional Committee
in charge began to inquire whether they
had value received on the canvas: Since
then there has been an animated CORE
gressmen; he wanting more money,
and they wanting the picture. Finally, last
summer, in consideration Of another s5{t0, which
made the total sum received by Powell 522, 900,
he sent his work here, and agreed to come on
and finish it. But he did not arrive, sknd now
wants to come while Congress is in stession, il
he can obtain $500 per month to defrayr his e1-
penses. Of course, his object is to button
hold and fatter congressman into
IN appropriation for additional COM
pensation, which the Committee do not feel dis
posed to sanction. The picture, as it belongs to
the Government, and as it remains to be seen
finished state, to show how much the artist has
done in eight years in return for the large sum
paid him, OF whether they will commission some
respectable artist to give it the finishing touches.
Meanwhile the roll Of painted canvas is per-
petual conundrum.
