ANOTHER HANDSOME PAINTING BY TATNALL.-
II. l.. 1atnall, our popular Wilmington artist,
has just completed charming picture for a lady
in New Jersey. While in some Of it's outlines it
resembles our Brandywine scenery, the picture
is purely ideal, and was designed more particu-
lary to bring out the effects Of light and shade,
shallowness and depth in water. In this the ar
tist has succeeded admirably. The pool within
the overhanging trees Of the mountain valley
mirrors nicely the huge boulders which lie about
its margin, while the foliage is beautifully re-
hected in the depths Of the waters which gradu-
shade among the trees look almost like reality,
and the receding picture far up the valley van
ishes like dream. Tho whole effect is charm

TIE DEMOCRATS INCENSED AGAINST
Mr.. STEPHENS FOR HIS VOTE.
New York GrsphicI
The Democrats are very much dis
pleased with Alexander II. Stephens
for the vote he gave to-day on the mo-
ton TO suspend the rules in relation to
the Louisiana resolutions. Before casting
taat vote Mr.. Stephens conversed;with
some Of his political associates, whom
he informed Of his purpose to vote for
supporting the rules. They remon-
strsted with him, but in reply he said
he regarded the resolution as a COM
promise which was satisfactory to a
large body OF the Louisiana COnserva-
tlves, and he believed the adoption OF
tue resolution wO0ld give peace to the
state Mr.. Stephens sent for George
+. Hoar, and consulted that gentleman
with reference to the general feel
iag Of the people of Louisiana touch
ing compromise, and YVES confirmed
ia his convictions by the conversation.
Some OF the Democrats are so incensed
with Mr.. Stephens that it was seriously
proposed to denounce him as being false
10 the sentiments of those he represent
ed, and his age and infirmity only pre-
vented them from carrying out that
The Georgia representa-
| ives say Mr.. Stephens was led to vote as
Pc did because the administration per
inits him to distribute the government
patronage of his district, and to a large
xtent the patronage Of the State. But
nothing his associates can say will cause
him to sWerve from The course dictated
by his own judgment when he has once
come to a determination. He is likely
20 be very troublesome person to the
Democrats for the next two years.

ESTABLISHED 1910.

YESTERDAY GOVERNOR PORTER nOmi-
mated Colonel Leon Trous1ale for super
intendent OF public instruction, aud J.
B. Killebrew for commissioner Of agri-
culture and mining. Both nominations
were confirmed by the legislature. Col.
onel Trousdale is q well-known citizen
OF Memphis, and has every qualification
suited to the Office, and iD the discharge
Of its duties he will be faithful, able and
judicious. One Of the most thoroughly
educated gentlemen in the State, lover
Of our public school system, he will
prove the ablest successor Of Colonel
Fleming Governor Porter could have Sc
lected in the State, and while parting
with Colonel Fleming with regret, we
hail the advent of Colonel Trousdale as
superintendent of public instruction
as a guarantee Of the perpetuity in
all its integrity Of the public school
system. Mr.. Killebrew, of Montgom-
cry county, is favorably known through
out the State as a gentleman OF excel
lent literary attsinments and practical
experience in the duties upon which he
enters. His admirable work, entitled
Resources Of Tennessee, is sufficient
guarantee Of the intelligence, enterprise
and practical efforts that will character
ize him as commissioner of agriculture
and mining.
