It will be the first reupion of this society at the capital of the country since, after its victories in the West, the famous ‘march to the sea’ and the campaign through the Carolinas, it took part in the grand review in May, 1545. This Willalsto be the first meeting of any of the societies of the armies of the Union held in Washington since the war. The statue of Gen. McPherson, the beloved commander of the army of the Tennessee, aad the only commander ofan afmy who lost his life to the Union cause on the field of battle, will then be unvetled with imposing ceremonies.

Tilden is preparing a statement in answer to the allegation that he defaulted on his in. come returns in 1862. There is a strong pree- sure upon bim to do this,as the charge 1s being used against him with much effect, and the explanation cannot be made too soon nor too complete. Still, it is pretty bard to understand how &@ man can explain away receiving $20,000 aud only returning $7,118 +++-The New Orleans Picayune coun- sels withbolding employment from the coi- ored people of Louisiana unless the men will vote the democratte ticket. This will probably carry that state for Tilden. Pro vender is more potent than politics. ---- Gov. Hendricks made an anti-war speech at Indianapolis In January, 1862, in which he made the following declaration: “If the war being prosecuted shali have the effect of abolishing our market in the south by de- stroying the peculiar syatem of labor in that section, then | wonid advise the northwest to look out for itself.” ----Gen. Geo. B Me- Clellan has written a letter, dated Coourg, Canada, August 16, 1386, in support of Gov. Tilden for tne Presidency. He says: “I have the highest respect for the personal ena: ter and iutelitgeoce of the republican candi- date for the Presidency, and believe him to be an upright gentleman, but it seems t> me quite impossible that he can change the or. ganization and policy of bis party. fas leaders who control and shape its policy wonld be the same after his election as now, and it is idle to hope for any change in them or under them.” ‘At the democratic con- vention held Keyser, W.

On his arrival a salute was fired. At 9 p.m. he was sere- paded at the Welden House. Mr. Wheeler appeared on the balcony, aud was greeted with tremendous cheering. He spoke at ength, saying: As in 1860 we are once more, my frieads, face to face with @ united south, with the democratic party of the north as its subservient and pliant suy In every late slave state in the Union where this confederate party is dominant it claims and may receive one hundred and thirty votes in the electoral college. In bas complete control of the lower house and the balance of power in the Senate. There ig not to-day in those late slave states any man holding @ prominent position who was not ideatified in the great struggle against the government, not even in the state of Kentucky, can you find a man in any posi- lon whatever who was not on the rebel siae This is the condition of the south today. I have sat for many months during the last winter in Congress by the side of 61 men who a few years since, with armas in their hands, were engaged in av attempt to break up the joverpment. Now I have heard those meno lefend the hellish atrocities of Libby, Andersonville and Salisbury; I have heard Lincoln maligned; I have heard defended the rightof Virginia justices of tne peace to detain and open maiis of the Uni States. Can you telime where is the difference in spirit which twenty years ago ied the Mis. souri border ruffians into Kansas aod the massacre at Hamburg, where reguiariy organized militia company were first dis- armed and then murdered in cold blood tn order that the white race might assert tacir superiority? My official relations have calied me during the past two or three years into the southern states, and I tell you what I Know, my friends, of the reai feeling of southera people regarding the reconstrac ton acts. They regard the ameudmeni to the constitution in reference to slavery and the laws for protection of freedmen as tie French provinces did their cession to Praa- Sia at the pointof the bayonet. It is to the south, my iriends, with this spirit aud with the democratic party of the north as its p!i antally, that weare asked to turn over the government of the United States with all its powers of legislation, with ali its machinery of taxation. No such proposition for auiac ity has its parallel in the history of the coun- try. What is the spirit of the democratic party? Do you want to prove what the dem cratic party of the north still is? Go to ‘Washington; see fifty soldiers crippled in the service of the Union turned out of the House to make room for as many rebsl soi- diers. This is evidence of the spirit of norih- ern democrac; ANOTHER VICTIM OF COAL OLL.—Yester- day afternoon another sad catastrophe was added to the long catalogue of those which have preceded it, resuiting from the careless use of kerosene.

A Frees on Keller's [ay EXPOSITION NOres. [Correspondence of The Evening Star.) PHILADELPHIA: 1576. It is @ curious study to waten the furtive @nd make-believe indifferent glances given by most persons to the very considerable number of pictures which represent the nude in art in the several galleries. A few of both sexes bave the courage to mareh ®querely up and inspect them, in cold biood, on their merits, as they would @ landscape or & battle-piece; but the course of the majority is of @ different sort. They mostly give a side-wise squint or two in passing pictures of this class, somewhat as if they were ashamed to look, and partly as if they didn’t want to, any way. Yetall thesame I notice they make an excuse for passing them pretty often, or else find something wonderfully fascinating on the walls close by where they are hung. It is exceedingly comical, this chsracteristic of human nature; but at the same time it suggests @ puzzling question. Why & man—or & woman either, for that matter,—may leisurely admire the Greek - Slave, the Venus of Milo, or some of her less attractive sisters in marble, for example, and may not be at liberty as well to contem- plate and enjoy an equally chaste nude con- ception on canvas, is @ problem In the pro- prieties which I cannot solve. Is there any- thing more improperly suggestive in the colors of nature than in her forms? If so, whyso? If you object to representing the buman figure in a state of nature by any of the processes of art, that is quite another Ubing; but if the nude is allowable in sculp- tore, I fail to see why it should be forbidden in painting. lt depends very much, of course, upon the spirit and manner in which the subject is treated; but likewise quite as much, let me add, on the spirit in which the eyes and mind of the beholder are brought mto use. The scriptaral passage “Unto the pure all things are pure,” is, it seems to me, rtinent to this case. And let me say here, for the benefit of those who do not care to find out for themselves, that, artisti- cally considered, the best pictare of this claes in the exhibition is uwudoubtediy the ‘Pan and Bacchantes,” by Eugene Felix, of Vienna, which hangs opposite Hans Ma- kart’s gravd picture of ‘Venice paying bomage to Catharine Cornaro,” in the Aus- irlan gallery. The scene shows two volu; tuous female fi costume of Lady Godiva, barring e rip. pling ringlets showered to the knee” They are & little above life size, and of a type of beauty suited to the eubject. One is in a crouching or half-kneeling posture, handing @ bunch of luscious grapes to her companion, who stands gracefully on one foot, and nearly erect, or leaning slightly back- ward. She is full front to the spectator, with one hand raised @ little above ner head to press a beaker of rich wine to the lips of ‘great Pan,” whose semblance is somewhat behind ber, shaded and partly hidden by juxuriant foliage. Frora this cold outline it may be seen that the artist is verging on perilovs ground. Yet, by thorough kaoowl- edge of his art and wonderful skillin hand- ling he inaneges to keep on the hither side of the very narrow line which divides what might be called the epicurean element in art from mere prurient grossners. The superbly modeled forms, the rich coloring, the per- vading half sensuous tone requisite to inter- gt e spirit and sentiment of the mytho- jogical acene are all here; but by judicious toning and artistic subordination of details obscene suggestions are well kept out of mind. And tbis I take to be one of the real triumphs of art. Whether the triumph ts Worth winning or not is a different matter. Another picture of the same class, and one that on some accounts may be preferred to it by many observers, is “The Rest,” by Leon Perrault, which bangs in one of the French rooms in the art annex. This repre- sents & single figure,—that of a beautifal woman, or more likely a nalad, swinging in @ hammock after @ bath. It is delicious in its freshness and purity of color, but jadged abstractly as @ work of art, it carnnot, I think, take rank with the “ antes.” There are a number of other pictures of the same order, well worth & much attention as Most persous will be likely to give them, and others again worth little or none; bat the two I have mentioned will doubtless be regarded as the best of their Kind to be seen in the exhibition. ate Modest and quietly disposed visitors to the exposition who are in prrsuit of specific and accurate information in regard to the great variety of objects to be seen on every hand will very likely be disappointed at the meager facilities provided to that end. As ® general thing, that is. There are excep- tions, of course; but as a rule it is noticable that there is not only @ lack of personal attendants where they would seem to be most needed to answer inquiries and faraish desired information, but there is also a marked scarcity of such cheap and conve- nient devices as cards, circulars, etc., de- scribing in @ brief but inteliigent manner the more interesting articles on exhibition, their peculiarities and advantages, place of manufacture, price, &c. If these were plen- tifully proviued and placed where all who wanted them could freely take them, valu- able time and oftentimes annoyance would be saved to exhibitors and their assistants, and at the same time visitors would be able to gain much desirable information without trouble to others, and which 1s now often sought in vain. In short, the exposition could in Reggives Ad made far more bene. Gcial to the exhibitors themselves, as well as more interesting to those who come to see it. A t deal of money bas already ex: nded by exbibitors, t know, in adver- their wares in the form of elaborate Uelny descriptions and long fulsome letters in some of the illustrated and big daily newspapers of the country; and money paid this way may be profitably spent. Ido net say it is not But this sort of thing does not meet the requirements of the present case. What is needed bere is the legitimate use of printers’ ink in the production of short but ciear sum- maries of such striking and important facus fruit. Another thing strikes me oddly in the seme line. Politeness seems to decrease and the disposition to gratify laud- able curiosity grows less the farther west- ward one gets.
