FINE ARTS, Photosculpture {s certainly entitled toa place under this heading. So far from being che of those brutal inventions whick have been doscribed. as “+ maturat bora enemies to art.’’ i¢ will on the contrary prove an efficient aid to the sculptor. While it ssures perfect accuracy to the outlines of his designs, and relieves him of the mechanical drudgery which he has bitherto beon obliged to do himself, or intrust to more or leas unsxtlful work- ‘men, {t mot only leaves him free to exercise his highest creative powers and his most cultivated taste, but it must stimulate bis ambition to excel in ideal art, now that the unerring mathomatical precision, on which the noblest works of old Greok art were invariably based, ‘has been put within hisreach, Architects and painters, as wellas sculptors, have recognized the advantages which they may derive from this new process. It isdue toa French inventor, M. Willome, whose namo must become no less celebrated than that of Daguerre. As one invention has been said to beget another, 80 photo- graphy, the fruit of chemical experience and of philo- sophical observation on certain properties of the camera obscura, has led the way to photosculpture. By tho combined use of several pratcasnatte Printa obtained simultaneously, and of pantograph, a weil known instrument which reproduces exactly (enlarging or re- ducing them at will) the lines you cause {t to follow, M. Willeme has succeeded im mechanically roproducing sculpture in @ very short time. “You sit for afew seconds as for an ordinary photograph’’ (we translate from a French description), ‘‘and instead of a plain proof om glam or paper you receive your bust, medal- lion or statuotte, strikingly perfect, in whatever size you may desire. The theory which the in- ventor very clearly explained about @ year ego has become a fact. l’ractice has proved that he did not decoive himself, A atudto with the necessary conditions has been constructed on the Boulevard do l’Etollo, a sort of glass rotunda, in the centre of which it is only necessary that you etand for a few seconds in any atti- tude chosen by yourself or by the artist, iy order that your person may be iostantly seized, and on the third day you may return to see your image in relief, just as if It had come from the hands of a master sculptor. It is by the decomposition of profiles which present thom- selves to the eye by turning around any given body that M. Willemo has attained this undeniably admirable re- sult, The process is an important aid to the sculptor in corroctly placing all the masses of the figure in their proper positions. It disengages from the shapeleas mass of clay all tho lines, contours and multi- plied shadows of the modola which are to be reproduced, and with which it has beon possible to com- bine the position tn advance, Photosculpture alone, fvithout any retouching, can prodce a very good picoe of sculpture. We havo seon specimons which are prodfa of the perfection of M. Willemo’s process, The foa- tures of these figures aro thoso of the original. No de- fects mar them. The clothing is beautiful and natural; not ‘stuck on.’ Tho pose of the porson is oasy, as if taken while im motion. As to the difference in price which the process of M. Willemo permits him to establish be- twoon his own productions and ordinary sculpture, it is quite considerable, It is almost unnecessary to add that photosculpture, like photography, can furnish ao uniim- ited number of proofs. The gould once made, the material can be varied at will, either bronze, biscuit, olay or pinaster. The process is patented in the Old and the New World. Messrs. Huston. & Kurtz have the exelusive right to the patent in the United States, and their elegant rooms at 895 and 897 Broadway are decorated with beautiful speci- mens of this new art. They are fitting up a rotunda for the purpose of introducing the practice of the art into this country, and they propose to build another at some suitable place out of town, where horses, cattle and sheep can be conveniently used as models. ‘Tho fifth exhibition of pictures contributed by artists of the French, Engilsh and Flemish schools is atill open at the Studio Building in West Teath street.

The Plans of che Radicals. * Tho reassembling of Congress to-morrow brings hither many members who bad gone away during the recess. The topics generally discussed im congressional circles to- Bight are those embracing the curtailment of the official patronage of the President and his impeacbment. That his patronage will be curtailed is certain, that be will be impeached is absolutely improbable, ‘The Fortisth Congress will assemble on the 4th of March without doubt, unless a change be made in the radical programme. It is intended that tho session shall bo perpetual. If General Butier does not euccoed in getting the seat of Mr, Alley in the present Congress, ho will, after a temporary absenee, returo here and remain until the meeting of the Congreas of which he is a member, When asked to-day what party would nominate him for the Presidoncy, he replied, ‘Tammany Hall." Proposed Chango in the Washingto: Government, It is believed here that after adoption by Congress of the Suffrage bill for this district. tho city charter will be taken away, and the city governed by a board of four commissioners, to be appointed by the Prosident, These commissioners will absorb the functions of the city gov- ernments of Washington and Georgetown. A long bill on the subject has been proposed for presentation to Congress. Most of tho large property ownors of the city are in favor of the change, because they believe such a commission will have more influence with Congress, and obtain larger appropriations for improvements, &c. The Appointing Power of the Presiden It bas become an interesting question here whether it will not check, if not entirely stop, tho machinory of governmont if Congross persiata in ita proposod measures abridging the powers of the Executive, For instanco, if Congress insists that appointments shall be made by the Prosident in a certain manner, and the Prosident doos not choose to appoint at all, there 14 no constitutional authority to compel him to, Hence in case of vacancies In important offices the damage to the interests of the country is obvious, Oftice Seckors Endenvoring to Conciliate the Prosident and the Sennte. A queer state of things exista here among the expect. ants of oMce. The great quostion is, if the Executive nominates will the Senate confirm’ Therefore appli- cants have to concilate both branches; and some amusing disclosures have recently been made relative to the manner io which aspirants surmount the difficulty. In a late Senatorial caucus the quostion of the admission of Nebraska and Colorsdo as States was discussed, and it was stated that the Sonators elect from those inchoate States had pledged themselves to the support of the rade jeals, This was all very well so far as it Went; but, as At happens, the came gentlemen had also pledged them selves to support tho President, tho question 1s, who do thoy really support, the President or Congress ? Place seekers should make up their minds on thia score before coming here, ag it may save them from some dis- agreoable dilemmas, Movoments for the Admission of Colorndo. The friends of Colorado are confident of hor early ad- mission into tho Union as a State. They say tho opposi- tion at home eomes almost entirely from the Territorial Governor and the gentioman whom he commissioned as delegate to Congress, in the face of the report of the Board of Canvaswers against him, and a fo# of thoir per- sonal and political friends. It is understood that Sena- tor Wade will to. morrow present to the Senate docu- monts and papers now in the city, which will fully counteract the false tmpression that Colorado has been declining. They show a great increase in population, wealth and prosperity; that the tax valuation from the year 1806, is $10,610,800—an @ncrease over last year of nearly two millions of dollars; that tho mines are not valued or taxed, and would probably doublo the total valuation; that the Glings and entries in the Land Office for actual nettle. ment under the Homestead and Pro-emption laws for tho ten months onding November 1, 1866, were 251,000 acres, an increase over the same period last year of 111,000 acros; that the first national bank alone, in Don- vor City, from May 10, 1866, to November 1, 1866, drew exchange to the amount of nearly $12,000,000, and other banks do nearly as much business ay that.
