W ZIL, Uhe Chicagy Teibune, Thursdey Morning, April 9, 1874, No statoment hs yot boon rocoived of tho roagons which led to the abandomnent at sen of tho steamship Europe, of the Traneatlantioline. .Tho vessol and cargo it 18 estimated woro worth n tho noighborhood of $2,225,000, Yosterdny, for the firat time, there was an in- Hication of & break in tho dend-lock on the Sen- atorinl clection m tho Massachusotts Legisla- tare. On tho socond ballot sovoral of the sup- ‘porters of Dawes and Hoar went over to Adams, giving im 19 votes, Two moro ballota were taken, but without material change. Curtis' voto was unchanged throughout, the unterrified Ton to oholco. Cattlo and shoop wore and unchanged, It han beon tho goneral opinion that the people of Lonusylvanin, at loast, stood on common ground 80 far ns tho Contonnlal schomo was concortted, but tho Domocratic mombors of tho Logtalnturo have taken action which will go far toward dispelling this {itusion, Thoy bave agroed to opporo the Contonnint Approptiation bill, and tho bill for tho incroaso of tho debt of Thiladol- phin, until tho Ropublicans will egroe to pass what thoy esll a -“fair" Apportionment bill for tho city. oue of expodioncy or 80 considored by eithor sidoa, atrade. “ Givousour rights, snd wo will lot you colobrato tho ono-hundreth annivorsary of our indepondence,"—this Is tho proposition. It throws over thoe Contonnial sohomo bodily to the Ropublican party,—a situation which will not pleaso its sincoro friends of either party. Tho dispatchos stato that the bill will pags, notwith- standing this opposition, right, nor ury administration for tho scandalous Sanborn coutract ig ina fair way of bolog dotormined. Bolicitor Banfleld was bofore tho Ways and Means Committoo yesterday, and testified as to Mr, Richardson's knowledge of tho matter whon it was boforo tho Departmont for finnl sottlo- ment, Mr. Banfield showed little respect for tho statoment- of the Becretary, that ha bad sigued all tho papers :coucerning tho contract in & “routino” fashion; on the con- trary, Lo afiirmed Mr. Richardson gave special Instructions nt overy slage of the proceedings, and followed tho papors in their courso through tho Bolicitor'a ofice with great diligonco and caro. Mr, Banflold also contradictod the vital pacts of Assistant Socrotary Bawyor's ovidence. Thero was no qualifieation or roservation in his testimony ; it gave the lio-dircet to the Secra- tary aud his Aesistout. In this connection it is worth notieing that Mr. Richardson tostily denies tho roport that ho has serious thought of resigning, and pssorts that Prosident Grant is ontirely entisfied with his administration of Treasury affaira, ——————— Charles B. Farwell, Congressman from the Third Illinoie District, yesterday ongaged tho at- tontion of tho Committee investigating Distriat of Columbia aifairs, nlmost to tho exclusion of overything olse. It was shown in the ovidonce thattho DoGolyer & McClolland Paving Company secured a contract for Inying a largo amount of what i8 known s * ironized " block-pavement in Washiugton City, When par of the contract had been fulfilled, information renched Gov. Shop- Liord that the * ironized " matorial was worthlogs ; that it decayed” moro rapidly thau any substance used for s liko purposo which human ingonuity bad dovised; and that tho streets in Olicago which lad been paved with it but a short time beforo wero in a wrotched condition, Tho con- tract was thon annulled, leaving the Do Gol- yor & McClolland Company with $65,000 worth of ironized wood on hand, and no prospeat of gelling it or giving it away. At this juncturd JMr. Farwell appearod as the conservator of the contractors' interosts.. At thoir solicltation, and, s ho enys, *‘without fee or roward,” ho Y72 abiding by their first choico with almost heroio® portinacity. — " A bill bas boon roported in the National Iouso of Reprozontativos whick fprovides that officors of the Govornment shall recoive for their sor- ‘vices nothing beyond their regular salarics, In anawoer to an inquiry, it was stated that tho of~ fect of this clauso would be to restrict the com- pensation of customs’ officors in the menner indicatod. With an oye to the official livory-sta- bles, tho bill also provides that no publio prop- orty shall bo used by officials for privato pur- poses. Mr. Cox goized the opportunity presented by a roport of tho Committeo on Public Buildings snd Grounds, in tho Houso of Reprosontatives yesterday, to reassort his beliof that tho Bight- Hour lew concerning workmon employed by tho Government s a dond lotter. Ilo boliaved it should either be enforced or ropoaled. Tuo Committee roported that the law is onforced so fornaitcaube. All men’ employed directly by tho Government work but cight hours; con- tractors for public buildings, of course, havo tho Tight to make such terms as they choose with their omployes. ——— Tho delogation of Republicans from South Carolins, who are in ‘Wasbiugton to oppose the offorts of tho Taxpayors' Committao for somo reliof from tha burden of debt which rests upon that State, appoarod boforo a sub-committoo of of tho Houso Judiciary Committee yostorduy. Thoir argument was twofold: Tirst, thoy as- gorted that Federal interforonce is unconstitu- tional; noxt, that, even if it were not, many of tho potitionors aro not taxpayors at all, and, therofore, need no roliof, Thoy omitted to mention that one of these dologations at least protends to bo composed of taxpayers, whilo tho othor professos to be Republican, and only Re- publican. Gen. Butler rushed in. upon the Ways and Means Committoo yestorday, whon the Sanborn Investigation was procoeding, and invigted upon Lis right, 08 & membor of the Housg, to bo sum- moned before the Committoo whon teatimony affecting Lim was being taken. His partioular griovanco was, that bLis confidontial relations Wwith Sanborn lind beon oxpored in his absence, Ar. Butler is waid, by tho correspondents, to Bavo beon much ngitated, and actuslly to bave abatainedfrom any display of buffoonory or of the hoctoring manner which he ‘habitually exhibits In the Iouse, e vohomently donied any con- nection with tho Sanborn contraot, oxcopt such aouc as he might proporly havo ; and wound up, in an inconscquentisl way, with familiar abuso of tho pross and the correspondonts, Ho and Bauborn ara to have a Joint examination at & early day, ——— The Chieago produce markots were gonerally onslor yostorday, with loss doing, Mess pork was tame, and 306 por brl lowor, closing at 810,40 @16.50 cash, and $10.90@16.40 ollor May.

Shephord, who had proviously beon convinced that *ironized” pavemont was hardly better than no pavoment ab all, ‘sgreed that the Company should bo allowed to putdown the 65,000 worth of materisl on houd. This was all that the Company nsked. The matter was oasily disposed of on all sides; and Mr. Farwoll roturnod homo satisfiod that he had, out of the pure benovolence of his hourt, saved from financial loss a number of eimple-minded men whose good fortuno it was to be his cone stituents. Tho * People’s Party " have had a good desl on thoir hauds of lato. Day boforo yostordny they were angaged in tho rioblo work of elacting Miko Evans, Larry O'Brion, et al,, to the Town officos. Yestorday they dovoted themselves to the more horoic and not losa congonil task of assisting ot o prize-fight and o * chicken-dis- pute Somo 200 or moro of tho gamblors, saloon-keopers, and roughs crossed ovor the In- diang line, and gave thomselves up to o day of unalloyed bligs. It soldom falls to tho Iot of the Chicago riff-raff, even with Indinna so olose ut hand, to enjoy on ono and the same day tho sight of chickon blood and human blood, both drawn in tho noblo art of solf-defensc, Tho chicken-fight was the piece de resistance of the programme. It was for this that tho crowd gatheored, with an Indiana license for thelr au- thority and Mr. Rehm's polico a8 an assurauco of nou-interforonce. A collection of $80, how- ovor, was enough to got up a prize-fight ot tho samo timo. Wo prosume that tho Indinna licenso would cover both. Cor- tainly, Br. Rohm's policy of non-intor- forence would apply to ono as well ag the othor. A couplo of amatour brulsors punished each othor during sovontoon rounds fn & lacka- doisical way, and & dozen or more “birds" gashod ono another with the sbarp instramonts which hutman ingonuity bas provided thom for this pastime, The chicken-war was an inter- municlpal contest botweon Ohleago and Louls- ville. Al Chicago blackguards will, therofore, throw up their hats and howl with gratification to know that the Chicago cbickens woro mainly victorions, while all Louisville blackguards must stoop under a load of disgraco that will bo hord for Southorn ohivalry to bear. BMean- whilo all decent pooplo will wondor why tho In- diana authorities issue o liconse for so disgrace- ful an “ entortainment,” and why the Chicago authoritics did not put o stop to so disgracoful an excursion bdforo it eacaped from tholr juris- diotion, 'The resnlt of the day's proceodinga was that four chiokens wore killed, We rogrot that Wo cannot raport the samo of the prize-fighters and the blackguards who organized the brutal exhibition, It s annoying to think that a comparativoly insiguificant city like Richmond should bo the first to adopt o now iden—that of emotional in- sanity ns o ploa in cases of ombozzlement. After Now York aud Ohicago had Loon through the mill and failed to find & justifieation, it is goll- ing to fud that Richmond should havo seen it valuo, What is sauco for homioido should cor- talnly bo a condiment for dishonosty. Col, Jo- soph Mayo, Btato Tronsurer of Virginla, Is tho varty most interosted’ in tho ploa, Lnving boon arreatod a fow days ago on tho chargo of emboz- 2llng €3,000, tho proporty of State which has o more of that wort of thing than it wants Just now. Whon lodged in jatl, Col, Mayo was found to bo quito inuano, and ot his preliminary exam- ination was judged to bo hopolossly mad. This may bo a olear case of gonuine ineanity, If W 9 then the discovery af the ploa of Ine Tho question involved is -not is it What is wanted is ourious faot that most of the groat discovorica of modorn timos hava a slmilar origin, This ono [4 not to bo dospised on that account, EVOLUTION, Thoro aro many kinds of rovolution, Thero nro political rovolutions, social revolutions, and financlnl rovolutlons, A politienl rovolution in- volvos nearly always s social or financlal on 0,— gonorally both, And 8o a fluanoinl rovolution propares tho way for a soclal and political con- vulsion. CGovernment, sooloty, and natlonal flnance aro most Intimatoly rolajed. Govern- mont 18 tho natlon's hond, socloty tho nation's ‘body, tho filunnces the nation's blood, To tam- por with ono of theso is to tamper with all of thom, Dostroy the Govornmont, and you do- rango tho finances and disorganizo society. Tho Fronch Rovolution, in its inoiptonoy political, was, in its dovelopmont, social and financial, Its financlal fallure was tho Voginning of its end, and led to o countor-revolution, Somothing similar ind boen obgorved bofore. TLaw's finan- cial echomo produced . Ingting ohango in Fronch manners and fn Fronch sooioty. It rovolution- izod both. A change in our own financos during the War, Introduced a chango into our habits ns apeople. With the emission of our papor cur- renoy wo bocamo, to n considorablo extent, a gambling nation 3 and, having onco onjoyed tho pleasures of financial intoxication, perhaps wo cannot bo reclaimed to an honost sober life ex- copt through the avenues of national bankrupt- cy and national disgraco,* Amerlean socioty hos chonged its charnc- tor within & docado. The rovolution ‘begnn in our finances spread with smazing rapidity through our socinl systom. Will it end there? It cannot, unless we aban- don tho financial rovolution we have bogun ; unless wo ceaso our inflation policy ; unless Congross rotraco the Atops it has recently taken in tho mattor of tho currency. If this bo not dono, our nationnl hounor ia lost, our cradit gono ; with our honor aud credit, our placo amoug nations; and, with our placo among the natlons, liberty and popular institutions, Sinco tho foundation of this Ropublic, these have Lad 1o groater onomios than the spoculators and the halls of Congress,—the men who bave turned what should bo the templo of Freedom into a don of thioves, A nation’s eredit is a nation's life, The eredit of tho only freo nation in the world is Freedom's life, National repudiation is national dishonor, disgrace, and denth; and tho nation that ro- deoms its promiscs to pay by issulng othor irre- deemable promises to pay, which discharges its dobts by incressing ita irredoomable curronoy, is guilty of ropudiation. If the Inflationists in Congress do not know what thoy aro do- ing, they aro fools, If they do know what their action means, thoy aro knaves, Tho inflationist, Senator or Reproesont- ativo, if ho be not & fool, is siraitor,—nay, worsa than s traitor. Tho traitor strikes at national life. Tho inflationist strikes at nationnl lonor, credit, and good name, a8 woll ns lifo, Tho traitor sluys, The inflationist dishonors his country, discredita it, shamos it, robs it of ita virtuo. Tho ono dispatchios it, or tries to, with & blow. The othor dispatches it ag offectually in the end, but firstallows it to drag out n misor- ablo and disgraced osistonce, Compared with the repudiator, Arnold, Aaron Burr, and Jeff. Davis wero patriots. Happy shiall wo bo if tho fiunncial revolution bogun in this country doos not lend to outright repudiation, and demon- strato the folly of popular government! The Ppeoplo saved this anuntry in the pelition] sterns of our Civil War. Thoy proved themsolves compotent to snve it. But then thoy hnd con- croto things, tangiblo renlitios, to deal with; and tho peoplo know what such ‘realitios mean. In the political storm, they domonstrated their ability to govorn. Iu the financial storm which Ing followed, they are domonstrating their ineapacity to rule. Hero the sovereign poopla aro called upon to decido a most momentous quostion,—a quostion involving tho consideration not ouly of tangiblo realitics, but of abstrac- tions, Hero is the tost of popular capacity,—of tho capacity of tho peoplo for froo government. Tho people know enough to make good sol- diers nud to allow themaclves to be ledin a polit- ical storm. Thoy can deal, a8 wo Luve just said, withitaugiblo realitios, with things. Tho majority, however, are not financlers any moro than they aro motaphysicians, chomists, astronomers, or linguists. Tho trouble is, tho Leople bLelieve themselves financiers, political economists, and statosmen. Thoy bavoe learned so much of self- government ; thoy have had so much to do with running caucuses, convontions, town meotings, Common Councils, State Legislotures, that thoy believe themselves born Richolious, Talloyrands, Webaters,. Gladstones, and Bismarcks, Wo have so many stateamon that statesmanship bay fallen into discredit among us. Wo have had so much, individually, tosay sbout the disposition of town, city, county, and Stata funds; we havo voted 80 long on questions of taxation and the dis- position of tho money raised by taxation, that we havo fallon into tho dolusion of supposing {hat wo are all consummato financlors; and we aro willing to bo lod by no one. fm war, the poo- plo are willing to be led by a Sherman ora. Grant. They kuow thoy are not all Genorals. In finance, thoy arounwilling to hearken to s Schurz or o Mitololl, or follow their financial londorship. In war, the pooplo weld themselyes into a dis- ciplined jarmy. In finance, they rewolve thom- golves fnto o mob, In war, the paople follow and oboy thowr loadors, In fiunnce, tho poopl hound thoir loaders into tho most extravegant absurditios, into tho most dangerous positiohs, The solution of the financial question reats ultimatoly with the poople, Itisa question in- volving nico discrimination, Upon its right so~ lution depends tho permanence of our jnstitn- tions, If popular government fails in .this country, it will bo through an orror of " the popu- lur heud on a quostion too subtlo for the avorngo mind to settle, and apparontly too simpla to bo boyoud its powors, Such & quostion is the ouo bofore the country,—the currency quostion. Tho popular heart ia all right, but if the hoad is all wrong, the cousequences of the orror will como all tho emmne. Tho man who steps off o ladder by mistake bronks his neck g cortainly ug bo who voluntarily throws himselt down, Lot us #upposo that e thonsand mitlions of groon- Ducké aro ssued, and that, having wrought ruln and destruotion overywhore, thoy are flunlly repudinted.

Dands of womon, of good women, actuated by 5 good purposo, bo- sloged tho saloons with prayor and pealm, doy oud night, and wero alded in thoir work by o mojority of the clorgy ana congrogations, and woro organizod into action by Dr. Dio TLowis, o soosational moral roformer, whoso dogroo of philanthropy lergely dependod upon the ability of temporance peoplo to pay him. The closing of saloona was mado to dopondupon tho offi- caoy of prayer, and, when this had failed, the buslnoss of physicians, drug- glsts, ond saloon-kgopers was directly interforod with, Great crowds stopped busi- ness, and when any resistance was mado to such’ intorforenco tho resistors woro punished by the courts, aud logal gontlomen who dared to defond thom woro put under & soclal ban., Sometimes coorcion way used, and froquently laws which hod beon dead lottors for yoars wore revived and brought to bear upon liquor-gollers with thoir most oxtremo pounlties, Porsonal liborty w8 in many inatances Invaded, and rights guar- anteod by law wore deliboratoly trampled upon, Ponding these operations, there wore not ‘wanting many and serious warnings, Tho pub- lic pross, almost without oxcaption, pointed out to the crusadors and their supporters that thoy wero running full tilt against publio opinion, and that the public not ouly did not sympathize with thom, but actually rogarded their proceed- ings with distrust. 8till more solomn warnings camo from olorgymon standing high in their profosaion, that theso crusadors woro doing damago to tho eause of raligion by bringing it into contomot, and that, If thoir prayors failed, the result would be to injure other forms of church work, Thero hns been mo opportunity for public opinion to manitest itsclf until tho April oloctions, avd thess oro now be- fors us with [their sigoificant record. In noarly every town and village in tho West tho iseuo was liconso or anti- liconse, and tho respoctive forces woro arrayed in all thoir strongth. Tho voto polled at these clections was one of tho largest over cast in tho West, and fullyup to tho standard of ‘gonoral olections. The tomperance people moved heaven and earth to oleot tholr caudidatos ; and, in numorous places, the waman prayed at he ‘polls while the voting was going on. But thoy prayed invain. The results, so far as we have racoived them, are as follows 3 ILLINOIS.

It was underatood that tho Convention was called In tho intorest -of this canal, and tho Committeo and a majority ot tho Conventlon though it not wise to impatr or divido its offect by recommending too many /brojecta to publio favor, Thoy dld, however, tho fourth rogolution shows ¢ : Resolved, That whilo thin Convention espectally in~ doreo and urgo upon tho attention of {ho United Btates Govornmont tho construction of thie work horeln nsmol, wo would wlao urgo upon it any and all.Intor- Slato Improvemonta that aro foastble, and the complo- ton of which will not involvo an oxponditure dispro- rortionnte to tho prospectivo bonofits, among which %0 rocognizo aa prominent the improvement of the Mlsalssippt and tho Tllluots River, and tho control by the Gonoral Government of tho raflronds engaged in intor-Stato trafio, Although it will bo moon that tho rosolu- tion in favor of tho improvoment of tho Misaiuaippi wos surplusago, most, it not all, the Ohieago delogates votod for it, A NEW WAY T0 PAY OLD DEBTS, 1t ia to bo regrotted that no short out has yot boon dovised by thoso economlsts who desire to *‘awoll the volumo of our ourrenoy" by whioh acbunl woalth canbo inflated, Private individ- usls ordinarily find but ono mothod by which their actual capital can bo Incronsed, and that is thirough tho old-fashioned sgoncy of bard work, Wao aro satisfled thot the timo has now arrived ‘when some simplor, some ensfer, means should bo adopted. It at first ocourred to us that this might bo dono by an act of Congress; and, whils we oro not yob quite prepared to sny that Congrems could accomplish results so dosirablo by statuto, wo throw out tho suggostion to thomo statosmen who have outgrown tho offote systems of the Old ‘World, nnd are detormined tocstablish an ontirely new systom of political economy fitted in ita magniflcont proportions to our * ocenn-bound Republic,” and over which the eaglo can scroam in triumphant and doflant delight. 1t is & melancholy fact that the traders, spoc- ulators, and somo of tho farmors of North Car- oliua nnd the West nro hard up, The difi- culty with thom scoms to bo, “that they aro unablo to pay their dobts. This inability ariges from the fact that their cash liabilitios ex- cood their cash resourcos, In other words, their promises aro in excoss of thoir ability to por- form, The groat question is: * How can thoy be relioved?” To our mind the snswor is simplo. In eithor one of two ways: 1. Byin- cronsing, or, to usea more appropriate word, inflating, thelr resources ; or, 2. By decreasing their liabilities. If tho resources of the unfortunato debtor cousist in a farm, thera aro tureo ways in which thoy may bo inflated, viz: 1. By incronsing tho gizo of the farm. There arc, of course, gorious objections to this plan. Ordinarily, a man inoreasos tho sizo of his farm by buying moro land and payiog for it, and ho is compelled to work for and earn the money which ho appro- printos to that purpose. If ho buya it and runs in dobt for it, his actunl rosources are not thero- by incroased, for hehas just so much additional linbilitics, Meroly to acquiro more landby work- ing for it is an offoto plan prevailing among the rotten monnrohics of tho Old World, and what ‘wa aro aftor is o now and short out. 2, But there isstill anothier mothod. The actunl wealth of the unfortunato farmer might bo inflated by increas- ing tho productivencss of tho farm. Thoro aro two mothods by which this might be done. Either by tilling it with more caro,—in other words, putting additional labor into working it, or by act of Gongress. Tho objoctions to the firat mothod are obvious. It is the old-fashioned plan. It makes, sftor all, Iabor tho real basis of woulth, and that theory wo haye thoroughly out- grown. But by act of Congraea it mny bo pro- vidod that overy acro of ground owned by farm- ers who nood reliof should produco, with- out any additional Inbor, a cortain number of bushols of corn or wheat, a8 the cnso might be, per nere, in ddition to itsusual production. 1, notwithstanding such act of Congross, the annual production was not incroased, Congress would havo tho proud satiafaction of having dis- oharged its duty and done its lovol bost to re- liovo tho wants and necessities of tho people. 8. But should it be decmed, upon careful sur~ voy of tho wholo subject, inconveniont toinflato the notual woalth or capital of tho debtor, tho next course would bo to decreaso his liabilities, Tho old mothod of sccomplishing this was to pay them, but this courso involves tho necessity of closer cconomy, Jossoned oxpenditurcs, and harder work. 'Thus we are continually travoling in a circlo, and labor scems to bo at the bottom of all thego mothods. Thero is no other motliod, oxcopt that Congress comes to the rescue and authorizo the dobtor to dischnrge his linbilitics at a cortain percentago on tho dollar less than the full nmount. The trouble about this plan is that the creditor, who is always flinty-hoarted, would probably complain, But under the new dispenaation that would bo no sorious objection, for the Government pro- poses to compel its croditors to reduco their claims. Evory man in the country who owns a greenback is a creditor of tho Governmont, and whon those promisos to pay ave inflated or in- croased and not redeomed, the actual valuo of tho greonback held to-day is dopreclated. The Government thus compels its creditor to take loss than tho amount of his claim, and if tho Govornment can do that for itself, why, wo ask, should it not do tho samo for tho thoussnds of its unoffending citizons who are unfortunatoly owing moro than thoy can pay ? Some six months ago, » majority of tho County Commissioners wore porsuaded, by somo undivulged monns, to rout cortain rooms In the Ttimes Bullding for tho uso of tho Recorder of Doeds, at $6,000 por annum, Other rooms, moro commodious sud convonlontly located, woro offered to the county for 83,500 per an- num. The job excitod much indignation at the tima. Only six montls remain before the expiration of that brilliant lease, and Mr. Storoy naturally wants to have it renewoed, as ho Lay boon unablo to ront any rooms in his building excopt those occupied by the county.

The groatost artist of tho Gorman school, it not tho grentot artlabof tho world, hns just passed away, Every admiror of Gootho and Schillor, ovory student of history, and evary artist tn the civilizod world who rospocts oulturo combined with artistio skill, will mourn over tho sad intolligenco that Wilkelm von Kaulbach ia dond, and over tho frroparable loss that art bas sustained. WinncLa voN KAuLpaox was born at Arol- son, in Waldock, Oct. 15, 1806. o was not o prodigy; iudeed, in his youth Lo oxhib- ited but little fondness for art. Iis dosiro to becomo an artist was first awakonod by wit- nossing the performanco of goma of Schiller’s frogedics. At the ago of 17, hio entored the Dussoldor? Academy, then under the chargo of Cornelius. Threo years afterwards ho assisted Cornolius in the painting of a sorics of frescoos commenced by that artist at Munioh in hionor of the King of Davaria, In 1826, bis powerful plo- turo of tho ‘“Irronkaus,” or *Madhonse," at- tracted genoral attontion, and Jaid tho founda- tionof his fame. During tho noxt fow years ho was engaged in decorating the Quoen'’s aport- monts in the now palaco at Munich, for which hp printed, in oncaustio and fresco, designa from Klopstock's, Wicland's, and Schiller's pooms, At the same time, ho oxocuted for the Prince Birkenfold sixtoon desigus illustrating tho story of Uupid and Peyche. His noxt gront work was *‘Die Huuneuschlacht” (which inspired Liszt's symphoric poom of the same nnmo), oxeanted in aepla for Count Ruezynaki. In this, tho firat of his grand historical works, ho displayod thnt ‘magnificent combination of tho symbolical with the real which ho afterwards brought out with such cousummate power in the world-famous Borlin frescocs. This picture wus followed in 1838 Ly *The Dostruction of Jorusiom,” which has beon made familiar to Americans by numorous photographs and engravings, This worlt 80 pleased King Lonis that ho commis- sioned him to paint it in oil. Its completion in oil opened to him o now fleld, and he spont sov- oral months 1n Italy studying the works of tho old mastors, proparatory to dovoting himealf to this branch of his art. In 1846 ho roceived the commission to dacorato tho vestibulo and stair- cago of the now Museum at Berlin with o serios of nistorical froscoos, In this work, in which ho was aided by Detmors, Mubr, Echlor, and others of his pupils, ho was occupied many years, and tho six froscocs alone which he painted thers would havo made his name and fame por- potual if hohad movor puinted snything olse, Thoy embraco tho following subjeots: 1. “Der Thurmbau vou Babylon" (F'he Destruction of tho Tower at Dabylon); 2. ‘‘Homer uwnd dio Gricchon” (Homer and tho Groeks); 8, “Dio Zerstoorung von Jorusslom” (Tho Destruc- tion of Jorusalom); 4. “ Dio Iunnenschlacht” (The Battle of tho Huns): 6. “Die Krouz- fahrer vor Jorusalom™(Tho Crusaders beforo Jo- rusalom) ; 6, **Dio Roformatoron ™ (Tho Ago of Reformation). In addition to these, there are many aollogorical ropresentations of mnations and heroes, as o brond band of {friczo filled with almost innumernblo children, roprosonting Somo iden of the immenaity of this work for the Borlin Musoum may bo formed from the fact that in one fresco alone, that of “Tho Roformation,” thero are aud fighres of woll ag sngos human lifo in their sports. sixty-eight lifo-sizo portrait figuros of tho gront mon of all ages, for which tho artist made spocial studies after long researches among portraits aud historical descriptions, Of lnto yonrs, Kaulbnch haslived in Munich, and among his othor great works oxcouted in that city 18 n sorics of frescoes for tho Pinato- thok. Inmidition to these gront works, he has loft almost innumerablo minor ones, smong thom soveral cagel figure-pioces which aromodels in al- most ovory studio; the wonderful illustrations to Gootho's *‘Reincko Fuchs,” which are ro- ‘markable not only for auiwal drawing, but also for tho odd human characteriatics with which ho lins invested thom ; illustrations of Shakspenre, tho Evangelista, and Goothe's and Schiller's playa nud pooms, photographs of which may be found in almost every print storo. His illustrations to * Faust ” it may bo safely said are botter known than tho drama itsolf, aud thero is not o prime donna in the world who has not studiod Knulbacl's Gretchen in order to prosont & finished porsonction. Among his Intost works ara two Jargo pictures for tho King of Bavaria, tho * Buttle of Salamis ™ aud *Thg Marrisgo of Alexander and Roxana,” and also o large composition in fresco on the walls of the Germanio Musoum nt Nuromberg, ropresenting tho opening of tho tomb of Charlomagne at Aix la Chapolle by Othothe Grent. Mo has received muony bonors for bis works. In 1843, he was mado Corrospondont of the Institute; in 1849, Director of tho Royal Academy of Fino Arts in Munich; in 1853, Chevalier of the Logion of Tenor; and in 1867, was promotoa to tho rank of Oflicer of the Legion.
