ing pictures should not be reduced to a ‘more branch of manufacture. The “Yan- ‘kees” have earned @ fame for getting up ‘things in hurry and turning them into profita- sble channels; but we need not say that when applied to the fine arts this is a very damaging reputation. The proverb “Art is long and life is short” is as old as the days of the Roman poet and older; because ages before the adage was written its truth was attested by the great- est monuments of art the world ever saw. Therefore we must not make pictures as we make clocks, or sewing ‘machines or corn reapers, if we would build up a school of American art, Pictures hastily and carelessly “got up,” such as we regret to say too often make their appearance in our exhibition rooms, do no credit to our reputation. Shoddy may purchase them for a time, it is true, but Shoddy will go abroad and learn in Europe to - discriminate between good pictures and bad ones, and it will patronize foreign collections to the detriment of native artists. It is, therefore, a matter of interest to the latter to cultivate a higher style, as it should also be the instinct of national pride to elevate American art to the loftiest standard. Anorner Drgapru, GLycerine TraGepy.— ‘We publish to-day a very interesting account of a catastrophe that occurred at Aspinwall a few weeks ago. It was occasioned by the ex- plosion of a quantity of nitro-glycerine, equal- ing in power seven hundred kegs of gunpow- der. Seventy lives were lost and the massive fire-proof warehouse and depot of the Pacific Railroad Company, together with adjacent buildings, were completely demolished. Fol- lowing as this disaster does directly upon the terrible event arising froma similar cause in San Francisco, we are again forcibly admon- ished that some action should be taken by Congress to guard against accidents of this description. With the power to regulate com- merce Congress has certainly the authority to regulate the mode in which so dangerous a material as nitro-glycerine shall be im- ported and transported. Now is the time to take such action; for delays in all matters of public benefit are dangerous, and especially will they be so if legislation on this subject be unnecessarily deferred. A large amount of this compound is stored in this city, with no more precautions taken in regard to it than if it were so much stone. We are glad to notice that the Mayor has authorized the Fire Marshal to seize a large quantity and put it out of the way; and the inventor or agent in this country has been placed under arrest for importing so dangerous a compound without proper representations. In regard to its ter- rible explosive qualities, we have only to re- fer to the frightful occurrences in this city, in San Francisco, and lastly in Aspinwall. In- stances of less consequence are also at hand. Among others we hear of a coachman who oiled the wheel-hubs of his carriage with the article, supposing it to be common lubricating oil, and that the vehicle had only been in mo- tion a few moments before s grand explosion occurred, demolishing the coach and killing the coachman. We again urge upon Congress ‘and the local authorities to adopt such meas- ures as may be calculated to prevent a repeti- tion of the catastrophes we have been obliged to chronicle within the past few days.

The feature of the day was the sticcession of vetoes sent in from Gov. Fenton of bills which have exercised the in- genuity of members all the session, among which was the Susquehanna and the Whitehall and Plattsburg Rail- roads, the appropriation for which amounted to a million of dollars, This action of the Governor excited a marked sensation; but after a brief flurry the cogency of the reasons advanced by the Executive were accepted as conclusive, and the action of the Assembly in sustaining him endorsed this view. The reason why the Susque- hanna was twice vetoed, as given by Governor Morgan, referred to the necessity of the bill having a two-thirds vote. The point of Governor Fenton, that of the exi- gencies of the public debt, is plainer and more easily understood and appreciated by the people. whole, these vetoes aro well received, and except by the parties immediately concerned are endorsed as based upon sound public considerations without fa tiousness or partigan aim. NEW YORK CITY RAILROADS—REJECTION OF THR RLEVATED On the SoM. The last scene tn the railroad comedy came off in the Senate, in the rejection of the elevated scheme, which was called from the table and attempted to be amended by anew route up Chatham street, instead of Broadway. A memorial and remonstrance were received from 8. P. Ruggles, requesting the appointment by the Governor of a board of commissioners to report at the next session what accommodation is required in the way of railroads for the city of New York. A resolution to this effect was subsequently passed by the Senate. The Broadway and Cross-town Railroad bills not being called up the passage of this resolution may be taken as the substance of all that has been reached in the way of railroad legislation this session. VRER PASSES ON RAILROADS ABOLISHED, Among the curiosities of legislation is the passage of the Free Pass Prohibitory bill, which interdicts the issuing of free passes on railroads. This was one of the last Dilis adopted by the Assembly, and when signod by the Governor will be a law. PROTECTION OF PRIMARY ELKOTIONS. ‘The following bill was also finally passed to-night.
