Belegraph Monopolists Coming to’ Grief—A Thorough Investigztion Promised. General C. C, Washburn has a rod in pickie for ‘the great telegraphic monopolists. When Congreas Teassembles he proposes to ask for a commitiee to vestigate the subject of telegraph business 1p this country, with power to sead jor persons and papers. He intends, this time, to summon as witnesses the operators theinselves, who will, he thinks, be able to furnish information hitberto withheld by the Western Union Company. The latter, when sum- moned ‘heretolore, have condesceuded only to give such information as suited their own purposes, which was precisely the kind not desired by Con- gress, 4 Strike for the Attoruey Generalship=Penn- sylvauia Wants x Representative in the Cabinet, A committee of Pennsylvanians, headed by one Mowry 8. Lowry, called upou the President to-day te ascertain what chance there ts for the appoint Ment of one of Pennsylvania’s favorite sons to a place in the Cabinet. In order to impress the Presi- dent with the idea of thetr importance, they stated that they represented the Legislature of Pennayl- vania. Itis notorious, howe ver, that there was but one member of the Legislature in the party; and ne ig belleved to represent no person besides himseif. ‘Phe committee, it appears, was specially par- tial to Benjamin Harris Brewster, of Phila- delphia, who they inatsted should be made Attorney General in piace of the present facumbent, Judge Hoar. The President said there ‘was no vacancy in the Cabinet, and, as a conse- quence, he could not consider the claims of any person whose name might be presented. The com- Mittee left greatly disgusted with the result of their tmterview. It 1g evident that Brewsver intends to leave no stone unturned to compass bis object of @ Cabinet position.

FINE ARTS. Architectare, Street architecture in New York wil doubtless be greatly modified if the grand design tor au arcade railway on Broadway, goiten up and recommended by Mr. Meiville © Smitb, and approved by an almost unanimous vote of the Senate and Assembly of our State, should ever be carried into execution. Meanwhile the most striking featare of our street architecture is 1ts utter coutrast to the splendid mo- notony of Haussmannized Paris.’ Variety seems to be its only law. Perhaps the French alignement might be advantageously applied here to single blocks of houses, leaving all liberty so far as con- cerns the style and decorations of each front. In some cases the juxtaposition of buildings, unlike each other ip dimensions and in every otner respect, nuilifes the pleasing or Imposing effect which any one of them might have if standing alone. Thus, on Fourtn avenue, within a short distance, a little gothic church is altogether everwhelmed and crushed py the vast edifice lately erected by te Young Men’s Christian Assoctation, and the bewildering confusion of the spectator is still further contpltcated by that Byzantine structure the Academy of Desiga. It cannot be denied, however, that it 18 owing to the infinite variety which we have mentioned that some of our avenues offer superb street views and that Broadway ttself is untque. If we are to have a distinctively national archt- tecture we may expect to see the first signs of it in our steamboats those floating palaces, in our rail- Way station houses and in private dwellings spe- cially adapted to the exigencies of American life. Iv is said taat a Southern lady, Mrs. Irwin, a sister of Mrs. Stonewail Jackson, has secured a patent for an improvement in the construction of houses which promises to create a new era in architecture. Mrs. Irwin claims that six walled or hexagonal apartments are not only more artistically beautiful but also cheaper and stronger than the quadrangu- lar form, The hexagonal building would certainly be preferable to the octagonal, which attracted much attention a sew years ago, but failed to prove elther practicable or popular, Sculpture. Two or threc bast and bas retiefs by Launt Thompson, whe deservedly distinguished American sculptor, are among the splendid prizes offered to subacribers to the Doré Art Union, Can no effectual protest be made in the interest of true art against uosurd Congressional grants to mere stone cutters who have ® mania for making what they call “equestrian stataes,”” and who manifestly know m@gre about the mystertes of ‘log rolling’? than about sculpture? Why should the people ,be taxed for the payment of Jarge sums of money for cutting of the head of McClellan from one of these “equestriaa statucs” and replacing it with a head of Grant? ‘The same nody and the same old horse may be deemed by “the artist’? equally good enough for eituer of these famous generais, But a real sculptor would feel bound to make entirely different designs wege he called upon for equestrian statues of both, Thorwaldsen has been severely and justly ceasured for having cunningly substituted a figure of Aisculaptus for one of Truth, and for having managed to “do” the Danish govern- ment witha duplicate when they fancied it was an original. We want no American Thorwaldsen whose only claim to such @ title would be based on Similar tricks, Goup!?s Picture Gallery. At Goupil’s four pictures have lately attracted spe- cial atteution—*Damascus,”? by Church; “Paul Be- fore Agrippa,” by Victor Nehlig; “Resignation,” by Cari Brandt, and @ fine portrait cf a dog by W. J, Hays. The subject of Mr, Chureh’s picture captivates the imagination. It recails to mind ail the brtiliant de- scriptions of this most ancient city in the world by Lamartine and many other tourists who, more for- tunate than Mohammed himself, Dave not only seen but entered it. There 1s a@ tradition cur- rent. among the Mohamwedans that when their prophet belcld Damascus from the summit of the western hills he was so transported by the beauty of the scene that he halted suddenly and would not descend to the city. “There is but one paradise destined for man?’ he exclatmed; “as for me, 1 am resolved not to choose mine in this world.” Kelly, tu ms “Syrla and the Holy Land,” alludes to this tradition, which he shows, however, to be apocryphal. His description of the scene migh: well have suggested it as a grand subject for a picture, Ap interminable plata, he says, seems stretched out beneath you; for the low chain of ills that bound 1t on the east melt into the distant horizon and are lost to sight as they mingle with the flery sky of the great desert. In the foregrouna an wnbrokep expanse of gardens and orchards ad- vances up to the very foot of the cliff on which you stand, forming a circuit of more than fifty miles. In the midst of it, about two miles from the west- ern hills, ts the beantifal city, with its pic- turesgue milnarets, its domes and glittering crescents, like a fleet riding at anchor upon @ little sea of the most richly variegated foliage. in transferring, to canvas the majestic loveliness of such a view Mr. Church had, of course, an oppor- tunity to display many of the qualities which have characterized his previous pictures and have made him famous as @ landscapist, The mountain shadows are very finely rendered. But certain forced effects are not sauisfaciory. Even the some- What strange light of the setting sun could not reveal so distinctly at such a distance even what litue he shows of Damascus. ‘he vivid greens and heavy browns are not happily harmonized, and the river seems to be running up hill. In fine, this large painting of “Damascus” is not so great a work of artas ‘The Valley of Lebanon,’’ an exquisite little picture by Mr. Church, which was exhibited some ume ago at Goupil’s. Nehlig’s “Paul Before Agrippa” is admirable in composition and drawing, and 1s vigorously painted; but it seems at first sight to have somewnat less vitality and action than several powertul works which have placed this artist in the front rank of ving figure painters. The difficulty, however, is herent in theesubject; for it is as impossible to int the eloquence of Paul as it would be to paint a lover’s sigh or tne fragrance of a rose. Brand's “Resignation” is characterized particu- larly by the peculiar luminous vapor enveloping the lovely head, with us upturned, expressive face, and answering tue desired purpose infinitely better (haa the nimbus with which the old masters used to en- circle every head of thetr saints, Landseer himself would have praised Hays’ life- like “Portrait of a Dog.” Animal painters rarely can add to their specialty remarkable skill as land- scapists, but the sky, the background and various accessories in the painting tell the story at once, and we see by the rafiled fur of the dog that the wind of @ lowering day in the hunting season is blowing.

Mr, Wist t# the only Jandscapist in town who paints nature in her savage aspects of stern, solitary grandeur, doing 60 in @ bold, strong manner all his own, “Ségne Ford,” one of these pictures, fully justifies the distinction which this artist hae won abroad. The spectator is transported to Norwey. Huge, beetling crags stand abruptly over the narrow stream that winds from the towering mountains in the distance. Overhead 1s a tumbled mass of torn, ragged clouds, through which shines the wan, pale modniight. A few people in a boat serve to give an idea of pro- portion wo the gigantic rocks. The treatment is highly effective. Among the other striking pictures by Mr, Wiist, on exhibition at the Somerville Art Gallery, are “A Waterfall in the Hardanger Ford, Norway;” “Driving Down the Reindeer, Lapland;” “Coast Scene Among the Luffoden Islands,” and “Scene in Gudrangen Ford, Norway.” We have only space to add that the whole collection, together ‘with several pictures by Mr. Kugene Meeks, another American artist, will be sold at guction on Friday evening, January 14, Indies?
