Tho solution of the whole question rested entirely with the part Grant would take in the matter. In consideration of the lively character of the correspondence between the President’ and Goneral Grant, it was expected that the latter would be found in the right frame of mind to furnish the impeachers with any amount of satisfactory evidence out of which to ‘work up a case, ‘The last letter of the Presi- dent, however, appears to have disconcerted the minds and'expectations of the opposition. Upon putting heads together it was discoverod that Grant was not the pi‘ant tool they looked for, and was unwilling to sub- ‘mait to play the part laid out forhim, This rebuff was not expected, and the General was accused of timidity and other failings equally uncomplimentary, by which ‘the disappointed radicals vented their bitterness upon dais “devoted head. This naturally mado matters ‘Worse, and created considerable sensation among the few persons who were expected to man- age the whole affair. Mr, Bingham getting ‘wind of this difficulty in the way, became himself less ‘tuppired with the justice of the course about to be pur- ened, and tacked’ accordingly. The change of base on the part of Mr; Bingham carried with it e similar inoli- mation on the partof the remainder of the republicans en the committee, except those who continued faithful tothe last. Mr. Bingbam’s motion in sommittee to lay a the table the report which Thad and his coadju- tors hed most carefully and diligently prepared, was @ fatal blow, and put an end, by one fell stroke, to the @elightful anticipations of Thad and his supporters, it te comeideved fortemate by WOU mvderate repuviicans But @f the committee that the movement was thus nipped 4m the bad, as it is generally believed if the resolutions reported to the committee for adoption bad reached the Bouse they would have given rise to lively debate, and resuited possibly in # general demoralization of the radical ranks, General Sherman Declines the Brevet Gene- ralship. ‘The Telegram says that it is ascertained to-day that General Sherman bas declined the brevet nomination of ‘with command of a new department in the East, oreated om his account by the President, His intimacy with General Grant aad an aversion to come in any manner in conflict with him has no doubt suggested this course.

For some time the Secretary was seated in # corner of the ante-room next te his private office, smoking a long brier root pipe and looking unusually contented. Ben Wade, wearing bis customary irascible expression, shuffled im about noon and inquired what was the news, Nothing particular ‘was vouchssfed to him, so old Ben offered his share, ‘which was put in a congratulatory form and related to Se ape Sh Fase the wive Bohan “Jest the thing was wanted,” remarked Stanton, “Yes,” replied Ben, ‘‘he (meaning the Presi- dent) will have no six montbe’ occupation for his rebel A Now Way'to Obtain the Whiskey Tax. ‘Within the last few days a number of capitalists from ‘New York, Philadelphia and other leading cities in the Union have gathered here to discuss the great question of whiskey, which seems to have completely dethroned cotton and te bave been crowned king by unanimous consent. These capitalists as the result of their discus- sions bave hit upon a new plan, by which they claim Their plan is this :—They ‘propose to ask ‘government to ‘wbolish the ‘present system of taxing whiskey, gether to tho hands of an organized company of capital- ists, who will bind themselves to pay annually into the Treasury, $60,000,000, They haye made the question a matter of arithmetic and have come to the conclusion that they can carry out their promise to the government'and still realize a bandsome profit of fifty per cent themselves, The fact is that our internal re- ‘venue Officials, with all their’ meters, guards, checks, spies, &c., tiave not been able to turn into the Treasury more ‘than tbiry millions s year from the tax om whiskey, Here is s proposal to double this amount right of, and the men who are said to be in the pian (whose names ‘are not known) es represented as responsible parties, who can cover their promises with bard cash at the very start as an earliest of their sincere intentions and faith in the project they propose.

In the latter part of March next all the Indians intend moving north to the vicinity of Lance creek, Old Woman creek, Hat creek and Beaver creek, within @ radius of one hundred miles from Laramie. The North Braie, numbering about two hundred lodges, are gathering on the Three Bear Lodge creek, about one ‘hundred and twenty miles from Laramie, They say when Buffalo become scarce there they will move to the head waters of the White river, fifty miles from Laramie. About two bundred lodges under Red Cloud, Tall White Man, Standing Bear and Black Twin, will soon be on Powder river, They are from Rosebud-creek. One hundred and fifty ledges of the Piatte Minicousus, headed by Roman Nose and White Bully, they sey will ‘ve on Powder river at the last of the moon, and about two hundred lodges of Missouri Minicouses are now encamped at the mouth of the Powder river, led by Single Horn and Red Fish. Part of the Uncafas and part of the Sanoarks and Yanktonnais Sioux, numbering over three hundred lodges, are camped on the bead. waters of the Little Missouri. Twenty-four lodges of Cheyennes are at the fort. They are Northern Indians, but have just come from the South, headed by White Clay and Little Horse, Destitution Among the Southern Negroes. General Howard’s order goes into effect dis continuing a number of the Freedmen’s Bureau officers in Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia General Howard states that a good deal of the destitu- tion in Missismppi was more fanciful than real.

Numbers of the colered people who have been heretofore living in idleness have gone to work with a will and others are moving from different parts of the South into the Northern and Western States, where they find employment readily.

M. NOTES ON ART. A private view of Mr, Shattuck’s new picture, “The White Hills in October,’ was the special attraction yes- terday at Gqupil’s gallery, on Broadway. Thorough study of the characteristics of New Hampshire scenery during many successive seasons has enabled the artist to justity in this fine, large picture the eulogy which the striking veracity of bis rendering, ‘‘whether bis pen- cil is at work on the Androscoggin or near the Housa- tonic, among Lake Champlain,” elicited from a recent critic, trees, skies, rocks, waters and whole tone in each in- stance are singularly, naively true to the local tints and forms, Shattuck imparts a rural feeling #0 genial and genuine that we seem trangported to the very spot he represents.” At the same time, notwithstand- ing all this fidelity to locai traits, this new work of Mr, Shattuck by no means exposes bim to be classed among what an atrabilious Parisian critic sneeringly called the ‘topographical’? painters who represented America af the great Paris exposition, and “whose stunning postera (criardes pancartes) are said to be sold at Insane prices ini Philadelphia or Boston.’’ On the contrary, while the spectator recognizes at once Washington, Clay, Adams and Jefferson on one side, and Monroe and Clinton on the other, with the winding Ammonoosuo in the fore- ground, be ts delighted by a picture the breadth of which gives in opportunity for introducing such # charming variety of details as only an extensive tour among the White Hills can assemble in his recollection of that picturesque region. Shattuck is famous for his admirable foregrounds, and the superior’ merits of this work a8 © composition lift it far above photographic Hiteralness and invest it with the highest truth to nature which art alone can attain, Nearly all dur fasbionable tourists are unwise enough to hurry back to town before the early frosis have magically tinted the scenery with the autumnal beauty that glows in the picture, To them, therefore, Shattuck’s ‘Hille in October’ will bea revelation, and they may well be tempted by it to prolong their regular visit to New Hampshire, for the sake of evjoying one of the most agreeable months of the year im those highlands, We are glad to learn that Mr, Sbat- tuck intends to have the picture reproduced by either chromo-lithograpby or engraving. The popularizavon of art by these processes is a public benefit. Mr. William Hart hae nearly completed, in his best style, a sunset view of mountain seenéry in Vermont, He has happily entitied t “The Last Gleam.” [1 repre~ sents one of those magical effects with which ‘the set- ting sun suddenly illuminates a whole mountain side, deepening by contrast the shades of twilight im the fore. ground, where trees, water and cattle repose in perfect keeping with the scene, Mr, Hart has another picture on bis easel, “The Bear River Notch,” in which the rue~ set warmth of the foreground is admirably contrasted with the distant pearly grays of s morning sky and atmosphere. Both these works exhibit riy band- Ming, and, like Sbutiock’s “White Hills in October,’”” are not only true to focal traits, Dat are also artistic Compositions of a high order. Mr. Gignoux ie about to add another picture to bie unsurpassed series of ‘Winter Views of Niagara,” It is only in winter, and perhaps only from the point of view which Mr. Gignoux hag chosen for the néw work, “Under the Table Rock,” that the spectator réahzes the appositeness of the Alpine comparisons which poets are fond of lavishing im their efforts to describe th® terrible grandeur of Niagara, The main reason for the disap- pointment which almost all tourists feel, and which few bave the honesty to express, when they Srst see the great cataract, is the fact that they asaally see it fret from above and not from below. From the latter point only can they fally comprehend the subhmity of the thundering avalanche of water. The picture apon which Mr. Gignoux is now employed wil} revive the im- pressions which overwhelmed us when we loomed up to this ‘ocean, pouring white and resistiess from the bive sky above into the white clouds below,” and we shall have to admire again the dark evergreens and the giit- tering snow, the huge icicles and the frowning rocks, with the changing hues of the torrent and ail the weird dreariness of the wintry scene, exhibited in ota similar works from the same gifted pencil, We must not leave'the Studio ballding, in Tenth street, without looking at the new historical picture by Mr, William Page, ‘Admiral Farragut in the Fattock Shrouds of his Ship.” The moment chosen by the ar- Picture was, that it is almost a pity Mr. pth wrt a rags to be ied forever in 20 & posit The Admiral has Bis cap off, as if be were saluting the yer ged pressed with the merits which 1 emquestionably pos- sessos, The interesting collection of Mr. Page’s Venuees and otber pictures, already noticed ja these celamas, w atill on exhibition at the Btudio building, Among the latest additions to Goupil’s gallery (Kaoedier), are “On the fea Shore,’’ by Aubert; ‘The Visit to the Fortifications” asd ‘The Monz,” by Vibert; “Sheep,” by Verboschoven; “Idyll,” by Faivre; “Children in the Woods,” by Lobriches; ‘A Savoyard Giri,” by Brum; “Toilette Chat,” by Hamman; ‘Teaching A, B, ©,” by Perrault; amd picteres by qudy, “The Young Chicftain,” “The faake ta the Gres,” “Playing Cards for « Skin Deer,” “On the Prairie! and ‘The Wigwam,” a: 1d
