PREPARING FOR THE ART EXHIBITIONS.
Accounts from the studios report that the pic
lures for the Royal Academy and Grosvenor Gal
lery are nearly completed. Great numbers of
artists have invited friends to private views on to-
morrow and Monday. The general character of the
public exhibitions will probably be inferior to
those of last year, leading artists being more than
ever devoted to portraits, now the most lucrative
branch of English art. The Academy threatens to
become a mere portrait factory. Mr.. Millais sends
portraits only. including one of John Bright which
is stll unfinished. Sir Frederick Leighton sends
several more ambitious works, but relies
mainly this year on the fine fresco recently com
peted at Kensington. Alma Tadema, who is yearly

TREACHERY To HIS PARTY - BLAcKBURNs
LANGUAGE UNFIT FOR PUBLICATION.
iBY TELEGRAPH To THE TRrBUNs
WAsHGG1ON March 27.-A good many of the
newspapers 10 day contained the following item
teegraphed from Washington:
Representative Blackburn uthorzes the statement
mat me published story that lac recently reelected oh
speaker Randall IN an alleged controversy WIN DIT,
C0frOth is without the slightest foundation in fact
The published story" to winch Mr.. Blackburn
refers is probably that which was contained in n
Washington dispatch to The TRIBUNE and printed
yesterday.
The most charitable construction that can be
placed upon this authorized denial is that Mr.
Blackburn is gifted with very short memory, and
has forgotten what took place during his alleged
controversy" with Mr.. CoflrOth on the floor OF the
House last Wednesday night.
The alleged controversy was 50 loud that the
tractcd by IT, and heard some Of the language used.

that prime cause Of the dispute accrsat on
OF treason 20 the Democratic party made by MI.
Blackburn against Speaker Randall. More than
one OF two members on the floor heard and under
stood the accusation perfectly.
TRIBUNE correspondent has made some further
inquiries Tonight. he result OF these inquiries
seems 10 leave 40 room for doubt that on the Occa-
SION mentioned Mr. Blackburn did use language
which reelected in most severe terms upon Mr.

which MIR. Blackburn is reported, on good

answer. Mr.. Blackburn,s arguments" were, how
ever noticed and his statements refuted by gentle
men on both sides of the House.
Mr.. Robson, of New-Jersey. made a very neat
and effective speech in defence of the Diplomatic

most eloquent terms, the course Of Minister Was-
burne during the siege of Paris.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, and Mr.. McNillan, Of
Tennessee, who are statesmen Of the same broad
attern Mr. Blackburn. made remarks some
what In line with his views.
