The Water Color Exhibition.

Nowhere is the. art progress Of America
more clearly marked than in the wonderful
strides made by our native artists in the pro-
duction of water color drawings. 1t is only
o few years since this delightful branch of art
began to receive the attention which its many
beauties merit, yet the progress made has
been greater in proportion than has been
made in kindred departments of art. There
has been, it is true forward movement
along the whole line, consequent upon the
active competition with the foreign art so
lavishly introduced by dealers. But it is
among the water colorists that most en-
ergy and enthusiasm have been shown.
Fighting against many obstacles they
have never despaired, but kept we'll
aloft their banner, and now that the
steep slopes of popular Indifference and pro-
fessonal hostility have been climbed those who
took part in the good fight can look back with
infinite satisfaction on what has been accom-
plished by years of struggle and perseverance.
The eighth annual exhibition of the Water
Color Society is credit to American art
Native and foreign works are subjected to
searching comparison, and the result is by no
means so disheartening as it might be. We
are still far behind the best European
schools, but the average merit of the Ameri-
can water color drawings is not far below the
standard Of the French and English schools.
This in itself is an immense stride, and
points to the greater possibilities in the
future. The Water Color Society
has had many difficulties to contend
against, not the least among them being the
GOODNESS and indifference Of the public to the
water color medium. There existed preju-
dice against the permanency of this class ofart,
which was the outgrowth of want of acquaint-
ance with artistic methods. People have at
last come TO understand that the water color
will not fade from sight in few years. and
recognize that its permanence excels that of
oil painting, in addition to its greater delicacy.
How much public sentiment has changed is
best shown in the fact that large proportion
of tho pictures in the present collection have
been already purchased In fact, the sale has
been unprecedented. notwithstanding tho
dulness Of the times Something like
ten thousand dollars have passed into
the pockets of the artists out of
this exhibition, and no doubt the effect
OF such liberal patronage will DO seen IN
the increased energy and enthusiasm with

which artists will devote themselves 10 thu

which artists will devote themselves 10 thu
production of works in this delightful medium.
We regret to notice the frequent and seem.
ingly growing use of body color and the
crayon, which is a departure from the true
aim of water color drawing tits particularly
noticeable in the French and English schools.
Some of our native artists have had recourse
to this method, which we think ought to be
discouraged. The best work in water color Ia
now done by the Italian and Spanish artists,
and they do their work honestly without seek
ing outside for any reinforcement Of their color.
The Water Color Society can do good service
in discouraging the growth of this injurious
practice amongst American artists.

The ARKANSAS MESSAGE which the Presi-
dent has sent to the Senate was not referred
yesterday, but it was the theme Of general
remark at the capital. In the few minutes
given to it in the Senate Mr.. Thurman
characterized it as extraordinary and astound-
ing, and it seems it was solely the President s
work. General Grant has found policy at
last but it is not one which is likely 10 re-
ceive the sanction of the country, and the
Message will be the subject of very lively
debate in the Senate.

sits between Michigan and Wisconsin, four
teenth in the list? There could be no prouder
record. and New York should gladly welcome
to her sister States by what stages she achieved
in the first century of our Union her imperial
rank. In this respect, therefore, the Centennial
appeals to our State and city pride. Let us
show what we have done. Here are our
mineral and farm productions, our achieve
ments in manufactures, arts, science, educa-
ton and commerce-here are our railways,
our canals, our schools, our public institu-
tons, our newspapers, our great cities, and
this our metropolis, queen OF them oil Surely
these must find place in this mighty display,
that the world may see the evidence of our
hundred years OF effort and prosperity, and
learn whatever lesson it may contain.
We repeat, therefore, that New York can
not answer too promptly the invitation of
MIR. Goshorn. We must not be laggard in
this gathering Of the States, nor must we be
unmindful of what is due to our State pride
and our selt-respect What we do must be
done at once, in generous, neighborly,
friendly way. Let New York answer through
her Governor that she will take part in the
Centennial that she will come with her
trophies to show what she has contributed to
the prosperity of the Union. Whist is to be
well done must be promptly done. Already,
possessed by other cares, we have fingered too
long. Unless we act now we shall only make
a sad display when the time comes-a display
altogether unworthy. We pro- oundly trust,
therefore, that the Governor will promptly
answer the invitation of the Director General,
and that our Commonwealth will do her part
In the work so as to rebound to her own fame
and the success of the patriotic undertaking.

THE SPANISH Misunderstanding accounts
come to us from Spain of the successes OBJ
tanned by the contending armies in the field. If
we can put any faith in Don Carlos, his poor
little cousins" prospects are not by any
means cheering. No confirmation has yet
reached US OF the capture Of Estella. The
sudden return OF the young King to Madrid,
coupled with the admitted check received
by the lett wing of his army, may mean
that the forward movement has again
failed. The suspension Of active operations
and the fertilization OF the points already in
the possession Of the Alfonsist army may also
be part Of deliberate plan to hem the nsur-
rection in It is evident that the fighting has
been severe and the loss of life heavy. Even
if the Carlists have won victory their sue
cess can only be temporary, for taey ara now
confronted with form OF government which
can afford to continue ths struggle for years,
if need be. 1t would be better for Spain and
humanity if the Carlists had been finally
routed.

'sTHE SHAUGHRAUN" IN CoURT.--A motion
made in the United States Court yesterday by
Mr. Boucicault to restrain Mr.. Hart from con-
tinung the performance Of 'The Skibbeeah,
which is claimed to be piracy of his popular
play, "The Shaughraun," threw some light
on the way in which successful plays
are constructed. The pleadings of the
defence are certainly very curious, and
should they prove that they drew their
materials from the same source as did
Mr. Boucicault the question will still have
to be settled by the law how much the
new form impaired by the dramatic author
to these materials made them his property.
In the decision is involved the vast copyright
interest of the country, and the result will be
looked forward to with considerable interest.
FIRES ~ THE Cry. A noticeable increase
in fires has taken place since the severe cold
weather set in due, no doubt, to reckless
efforts to secure greater comfort. 1t is perhaps
useless to preach on this subject The danger
from the excessive and careless use of fire is
obvious, and yet, as soon as the cold weather
sets in, all precautions in the use of this fatal
element seem to be thrown aside. Yesterday

of Louisiana have purchased their confessed

Patent Rights.

Senator Cameron, Of Pennsylvania In q 70.
cent debate, called attention to the jobbery
on the part of persons interested in patent
rights. "Look," he raid, Sat it in regard to
sewing machines. Here is machine in
which the poor people all over the country are
interested. that does not cost in its most ex-
pensive form more than fifteen dollars, and
yet it is sold for seventy-6ve or eighty dollars.
Every year comes in some inventories
dition to the original patent, and he gets
seven years more; and ct the end of this
seven years, seven years more. Our patent
rights were intended to terminate at short
period, SO that the public should be benefited
by them. I think the sewing machine BUSH
ness is one of the most glazing systems Of
wrong in the country
This illustration of Senator Cameron's was
made in the course of debate on the Steam
boat law, recently under discussion in the
Senate. We do not observe that the observa-
tons of the Senator provoked any response,
but the point he made is one deserving of con-
sideration. The sewing machine lobby has
We have no doubt it is so to-day. It repre-
sents ON interest that has made vast sums Of
money by skilful manipulations Of the patent
laws and by other influences to such all ex-
tent that, as tbs Senator says nm instrument
that hos become necessity to every family 10
taxed two or three hundred per cent by
combination of monopolists. Now, we are
far from saying that when man like Howe
invents sewing machine he should not have
proper reward for his genius and industry.
We believe that such men are public benefac-
tors, and that they should be rewarded in the
most liberal manner; but this should not be-
come tax on the people, as is the case with
the sewing machines. We trust that, now the
matter has been brought to the attention of
Congress and the country, the whole busi-
ness will be investigated. There is no reason
why sewing machines should not be sold here
as cheaply as in Europe.
