Although fattering progress has been msds
in the direction of making the Academy
of Design what the representative An
institution of America ought to be.
cradle Of really high art much remains 70 b
done. Unfortunately it is not possible as va
for persons well informed about art to deceivs
themselves as to the inferior position we 90
cupy in the highest walks of art. Where
marked success has been attained BY
individual artists the credit has been
almost always due to their foreign educa.
ton, and their methods have been bor-
rowed from the schools in which
they happened to receive their training.
The want of just such an institution as tho
Academy of Design should be has left this
country without school of art Individuals,
it is true, have asserted their idiosyncrasies
and given Us pictures with truly American
flavor, which are not wanting in clevernessL
but do not belong to high class of art
They are crude, as is the art of all countries in
the beginning, but give indication of what
might be effected towards building up
distinctive school of American art were thu
facilities of training and art education
given to our students. In this age of inter-
communication and rapid exchange of ideaa
it appears monstrous that the art students Of
the country should be compelled to grops
their way to perfection, just as the artists Of
the Middle Ages went over ground that had
already been travelled by the lost art of Greece.
So far as the teaching Of American studenta
has been concerned the art Of Europe might
almost as well have boen lost so little has il
hitherto affected the instruction Of our
young artists. They have been left to invent
methods and grope their way to what excel
lence they have attained with infinite labor
and difficulty. The reformed Academy aims
at mending this painful and regretable state Of
things. In order to obtain public countenancs
and support the reform has been begun where
the public will most appreciate ton the walla
Of the annual exhibition. When we look
back at the deplorable condition of Attain
which existed four years ago, and then turn
to the exhibition of to-day, we feel confident
that in the future the Academy Of Design win
fill worthily its mission as the teacher Of the
student and instructor of the public. In
destiny is to be the art light of this Continent
and this is an end worth working for.

thority or knowledge in q case in which his
adroitly dropped words had already Influenced
the votes Of all those who were ready and anx-
ious to support any measure the adminlstra-
ton thought necessary. He represented the
government, it was thought-was friend and
supporter of its policy; and yet the measure
that thus obtained great support was rejected
by the government. 1t was case, therefore,
something like false pretences; but, as the
government had no authoritatively declared
policy outside its regular messages, the occa-
sion was given, and hence the success Of the
fraud.
Senators Morton and Logan we're also known
especially as administration men, and their
earnest advocacy gave color to the notion that
the measure would receive the President s
assent But their position was based appar-
emily on false pretence; for in the course
events have taken it is unmistakably clear
they were not in sympathy with the Presi-
dents ideas. Were they any more really in
sympathy with the ideas of the Western peo-
pie, whom they pretend to represent Or is
that pretence also false? From the tone of
the Western press of the best class, and from
such declarations as that of the Chicago Board
of Trade, we should not be surprised to find
that the loud declaration of the Western de-
mand for paper money was, on the part of the
noisy advocators, as thorougha a Congressional
confidence game as the pretence of the infa-
tionists that Grant was with them. down to the

A Washington correspondent draws an
easy picture of the situation, to which, if the
would-be Chief Justice do conform, he won't
take his confirmation or condemnation very
much TO heart. Say the letter: Now don't
suppose williams himself knows how tie IS
situated. In the first place he don't seem TO
me TO be the sort OF man to cherish real,
live ambition; to realize the fullness Of honor
there will be in his success, or the bitterness
of disaster there will be in his defeat. He
seems dull, plodding fellow, who has got
on in the world by steadily putting one slow
foot before the other, and making up time
when genius was asleep or on drunk. /
don't suppose he ever felt an emotion of any
kind, either pride, gratitude or revenge; but
it occurs to me that hetskes success as hog
eats an apple you throw it--munching it
moment and then turning its expressionless
nose up toward you for more; and that he
would accept failure as the same hog would
your refusal to throw him another apple
that is, he would grunt and go off and lie
down.

THE REASON WHY.

The question is daily asked by thousands OF
our citizens, =" why it is the IN L Bitters have
achieved such popularity with the public, and
have such an immense sale"' The reason is
because they are an old and well established

herbs and roots; the many who have tried them,
testify to their beneficial qualities, and have no
hesitation in recommending them to their
afflicted friends.
They are acknowledged to be the best tonic
and recuperator known; they build up the sys-
TEN, and impart strength to the weak and ex-
hausted, and are endorsed and recommended by
our most eminent Physicians las per certificates

TIE ALABAMA AWARD AND THE INSURANCE
CoMPANEs.-It appears from the Washington
dispatches published to-day that the House
Judiciary Committee at a special meeting
yesterday, and after o protracted discussion,
decided to insert section in the Geneva
Award bill to pay insurance companies the
amount of their war premiums on vessels
destroyed by the Confederate cruisers. We
are not informed what the majority was, as
the despatch simply states that majority
goted for this section. Other matters remain
TO be considered, still it is thought the CON-
mittce will be ready to report on the bill to the
House next week. Should Congress pass the
measure as it will be reported, with the section
referred to, there will be little money left, we
presume, for anything else. The insurance
companies insured on war risks, and, there
fore, must have been pretty well paid by the
Insurers. This ought to be considered by
Congress and the award be distributed upon
principle of equity. However, we must wait

which the laws now debated in Congress will

mass of the people of this nation Let the

are making pretty and touching speeches in
favor OF the peoples interests-let them gain

and 1t Is truth that the whole experience Of
nations that have suffered from the miseries

They can comprehend it as clearly as they can
any simple rule Of arithmetic, and 80 surely
as they do comprehend it they will have their
reckoning with the demagogues and with that
corrupt party that now nomipally governs the
country. We do not for moment as
sent that, whoever is injured or whoever
is relieved, the imitation of the country
is just or right or honest or anything but
public villany, an outrage and a wrong, the
less excusable because only our own national
honor stands in the way OF our doing it. But
we believe that the people are apathetic and
Indifferent because they believe that some
how it will be on advantage to them and an
injury only to the rich if to any one. They
have accepted this view from the demagogues.
1t cannot be denied that there are rich men to
whom imitation will prove an injury, and that
there is class of creditors who are compare
lively poor men and whom it will relieve but
these are few in number by comparison with
that largest class in the country, the people
who work for wages. By comparison with
these the men to be relieved are miserable
minority, and relief to this minority is to be
purchased by oppression of every laboring
man or woman-an oppression that will re-
duce them to the extremity of distress And
this oppression is inflicted deliberately, in the
hope to utilize the popular distress by leading
the whole people to assent to reputation.

Spain's Difficulties and the Two
COnchas.

It is curious coincidence and historical
it is said-should have been called upon at the
same time to suppress the formidable civil
wars Of Spain at home and in Cuba. just az
General Jose Concha assumes control Of af-
fairs in the Antilles General Manuel Concha,
if we can only rely upon the news from Spain,
takes command Of the army against the Carl
lists. Serrano seems to have failed, skilful
as he is known to be, in suppressing the in
surrection in the Peninsula, just as Jovellar
failed in Cuba. Thus in the extremity in
which the Spanish government has been
placed by the psrsistency and ability Of the
insurgents both in Spain and the colony, these
two men have been brought to the foremost
position. The wheel of fate turns rapidly in
Spanish affairs and with the avail
able prominent chiefs of Spain, and
these chiefs rise and fall with the CELEBRITY
almost of acrobats. The last turn has, as was
said brought the Conchas into great promi-
nence, as if the destiny Of Spain and Cuba
depended upon them. But, looking at the
difficulties in their way, the probability is
that it will rather prove the wheel Of mis-
fortune than of fortune to them. AT least
there is little reason to suppose Captain
General Concha can restore peace to Cuba
He will make desperate effort, undoubtedly;
but, Judging from his antecedents and char
acter, It will be with the most cruel and re-
prcssive policy, and that tends to exaspernte
tho Cubans and to drive thousands over to
the insurgents. General Manuel Concha may
succeed better in Spain still, the difficulties
appear TO be almost as insurmountable. II
the spaniards would concede freedom to
Cuba and turn all their attention to pacifying
and improving Spain they might bring their
troubles to an end. The enormous weight
they are now trying to carry may crush them
ont as nation or reduce them to the position .
of O fifth rate Power.
