The third edition of the official catalogue of the art department of the International E <- hibition shows contributions oa the walls by Washington artists as follows: F. J. Fisher— Christ Lamenting over Jerusalem. Mrs. C. A. Fassett—Portrait of Chief Justice Waite. H. L. Hillyer—Clearing up the Homestead.

Henry Ulke—Portrait of Cuarles Sumner. These works are what the latest edition of the catalogui ows to be present, but we understand from those who have been a’ the exhibition lately that some of the pictures named are not to be found on the walls of the art buildings, while others not named in the catalogne have been given a piace. Tne reason tor these discrepancies is not appar- ent, but in connection with them we hear some pretty hard, but apparently well ane thenticated, stories of unfitness, unfair deal- ing, and downright untruthfalness on the part of some of the gentlemen constitutiog the art committee of the exhibition. —_—_—<—<§_~+see.__.

Last night he arose from his bed, sat in his chair, and conversed with his physicians several minutes; then retired and had @ good sleep.

The Committee on the Expenditures of the iuterlor department heard several witnesses in referenee to the management of the U.S. Insane Asylum this morving: Jolin E.

The names of the 2) more witnesses avxious togive teslimouy against the asy- jum management were hauded ia to the committee to di Blaine and Bristow. THE REPORT AS TO THEIR UNFRIENDLY RELATIONS CONTRADICTED. In relation to the absurd story that Mr. Bristow called on Mr. Blaine on Sunday last and was rudely received by @ member of Mr. slaine’s family, it is gratifying to be able to state that Sir. Bristow asserts that his relations with Mr. Blaine have never been otherwise than friendly. Ex-Goveruvor Dennison, of the District Commission, wo Was present at an interview between Messrs. Blaive and Bristow on Saturday night ias states that on the Thursday night previous, while traveling to New York, he met an ac: quaintance who mentioned as a fact that he knew that Mr. Blaine felt very unkind! to- wards Mr. Bristow because of his belief of Mr. Bristow’s being responsible in some way for some of the charges against him. He mentioned especially oue of the pecuilarly oifensive character, to which Gov. Dean'son said it was impossible Bristow had anytnlog to do with it. Mr, Bristow subsequently called on Goy, Dennison aad showed him a letter im relation to the same matter, express- ing &t the same time his unwillingness for the statement connecting him with it to be uncontradicted. They then called on Mr. Blaine, who received them very cordially, nd read him so much of the letter as rela’ to the story. Mr. Bristow saying that he could not allow a day to pass without hay- ing it fully understood with Mr. Blaine.

JOTTINGS FROM CLNC{NNATT. The Cincinnati correspondent of tue Balti- more évn sends the following: DEMOCRATIC COURTESIES. One circumstance which adds very much to the Intensity of the anger of the friends of Mr. Blaine is that they are compelled to go to the Inquirer, the democratic paper here, for any reports favorable to their side, as the two republican papers, the Gazeite aud ped Commercial, are fall to the brim of Bris- Ow.

Atone time to day it was rumored around that a split had occurred in the New York delegation, and that George William Cartis bad led @ formidable bolt against Conkling This was delightful intelligence to the Blaine men, but it was subsequently learned thata conference had been neld, and that two out of the seventy, Messrs.

The Postmasier Gene- ral, it 18 understoo:, desires the complimen- tary voile of his siate and his feiends on the delegation, who wish i9 o%lige him, thought General Hawiey’s manner savored a litile loo much of dictation, and the cons¢qu is that Blaine may lose two or three v that ultimately might save come to him.

The latest reports of Mr. Blatne’s health are So favorable that his friends now concede that his illness has been more beneficial than otherwise to his canvass. BLAINE’S STRENGTH is increasing each hour. He will certainly have three hundred yotes on thefirst ballot, and the second ballot, it is cicted, will nominate him.

His strength is sentimental and is so widely dif- fused that it has no pointupon which to rally. CONKLING shows up well. He will receive gool sup- port_on tne first ballot. Geo. Wm. Cartis, of the New York delegation, will not support him, but will vote for Bristow. HAYES will be supported throagh thick and thin by the Ovio delegation. He is also the second choice of many northwestern delegations. The Blaine men have force enough to con- trol ine organization of the conveation. They Wil not demand thata Blaine man be tem- porary chairman, but will concede that to any of the rival candidates. Halesays he is willing to take General Harlan, of the Kentucky delegation, and a warm friend of Bristow, or Thealore M. Pomeroy, of New Yerk, a Conkling follower.
