WASHINGTON. The Case of the New Attor- ney General. Probable Withdrawal of Mr. Ack- erman’s Nomination. The Presentation of the Cadetship Tradex’s Credentials Objected to in the House, His Case to be Decided on Tues THE FRANKING BILL. WASHINGTON, June 18, 1870. Trouble About the Nominre tor Atterncy General. It is understood that the name of Amos T. Acker- man, as Attorney General, will be withdrawn from the Sevate. The pressure of leading republican Senators and prominent politicians and party men here 18 being used to the fullest extent. Mr. Acker- man, it is said by many, will weaken the party rather than strengthen it. nator Willams, of Ore- gon, a gentieman of legal skill and learning, it is understood, is being urged in the eveat of the F dent scemg fit to send in a new appolntinent, Whittemore’s = Aspirations—The Cudetship Seller Fails to Gei Into the House. In the House this morning the Speaker presented the credentials of B, F. Whittemore as Representa- tive elect from the First Congressional district of South Carolina. Mr, Logan, who oceupted the floor, at onve objected to his beimg sworn in as a member, and was about to proceed to state his reasons therefor when the aker decided Gebate out of orc Mr. Farusworth entered a motion that the credentials be referred to the Committee on Elections or Military Atfuirs to report atany time. To this Mr. Logan entered his protest, sinUng that the question to be decided by the House was whether a member who had escaped the odium of expalsion by reason of resignation should be de- clared entitied to @ seat in a body which had passed @ unanimous resolution declaring him unworthy of raid seat, A rambling discussion then ensued be- tveen Farnsworth and Logan relative to the refer- ence of the credentials. Gariield attempted to settle the dimiculty by aresolution providing that when any person shall present huanseif to the bar of the House for admission who has previously been pelied or who has resigned when a resolution of ex- pulsion or censure was pending aga.nst him, the case shall be referred to the,committee which ha’ charge of the investigation against bim, or the House may act upon it at on Logan ins)sced npon a motion, which preyaiied, that the subject be post. poned and come up as unfinished business on Tuesday after the morning hour, when the House might take a syuare vote upon ti without its reference to 2 committee. Logun’s opposition to referring the subject to a committee arose from apprehension that it would slumber there through- ont the balance of the session, tus leaving the House in doubtful and divided position as to Whit- More’s transactions, A disposition secmed mani- fest on the part of a few democrats to chaiupion the enterprising South Carolinian’s claim to a seat, pro- bably from the conviction that an addition to Con- gressional “‘cussedness” would work to their gain before the country. During the contest concerning bim the burly cadet broker sat sereuely ina rear seat on the floor, not tar from Farnsworth, and veemed to rely confidently upon his 8,000 majority and his main strength. Very ‘ew spectators were present and scarcely a quorum was on the floor, ag the uay woe Bovared to private claims, and no sub- ject of interest was expected to be sprung. The indications are that Whittemore cannot “make the rime,” and his rejection is considered a sale pre- diction, The Legislative, Executive and Judicial Ap- propriation Bill. The Conference Committee on the Legislative, Ex- ecutive and Judicial Appropriation bill met today, The Chef Clerk of the Treasury Department, who Tepresents the Secretary of the ‘Treasury in such matters, was before the committee, in order to see to the interests of the public service in that the ap- propriations were not so amended as to embarrass the government. There will be considerable time yet consumed on this bill. The Fate of tie Tarif Bill Doubtful. The Senate Committee on Financ? held another meeting to-day, The discussion, over the ameud- ment to the Tart bill meets with considerable delay, owing to the opposite views of members of the com- mittee. {tis hoped, however, to report on Monday next. It is considered exceedingly doubtful whether the measure will pass before the adjournment ot Congress. It is understood that some pomts will inevitably lead to long discussion, The Republican Congressional Committee held a meeting this morning in the rooms of the Senate Committee on Miltary Affairs and chose as Secritary T. L. Tullock, who held the same position during the Grant campaign, ¢ Nomination by the President. The President to-day sent the following nomina- tion to the Senate:—Roger $.

X- The Pat Wooll’s Case, The House Judiciary Committee d a special meeting last night xt which several witnesses were examined for the defence in th e asshult ease of Pat Wood vs. Porter. The de‘ence closed their testi- mony, and this morning Ri Merrick made argument on behail of the defenda nt, claiming that Mr. Porter, at the time the assauit was made, was in the city of Richmond under a leave of abgence and enjoying the privileze of the same, that he was neither going to nor returning from a session of Congress, and that the proper tribunal to punish the crime was the courts of the State of Virginia. Personal. Secretary Boutwell il probably return here by Monday to resume his otficial duties. Secretary Belknap is expected here to night. Commissioner Delano arrived here last night. The Federal Appointments in Virginia. A delegation of the republican members of the Virginia Legislature, composed of the following gen Hemen, called upon the President to-day:—E. W. Massey, J. Ambler Smith, Willian P, Mosely, John Robinson, of the Virginia Senate, and H. M. Bowden, William Bartlett, Jon Noble, Ellis Wilson and Mr. Duggen, of the House of Delegates of Vir- ginta, The delegation were accompanied by Senator Lewis and Congressmen Ayer and Brooker, from Virginia, The object of the visit was to prevent tne Interference with Federal appointments in the reve- nue service in Virgina by certain men who seek to prejudice revenue appointments already made there, that charges may be made by which they hope to accelerate ihe possibility of their own personal ends, The committee stated that such a system of interfer- ence exists where the only object is to advance pri- vate interests prejudicial to the proper fulfilment of oMcial duties by the persons now holding ofice. ‘They expressed to the President the entire satisfac- tion felt by the republicans of his appointments in Virginia, The interview was a protracted and plens- ant one, The President will sustain the policy alveady begun by filling the offices with native Union men, Weekly Treasury Statement.

Cast. A very pecullar case, & fa “Enoch Arden,” came to light in Newark, N. J., yesterday. In the afternoon a@respectable looking woman calied at the station house and stated that some five years ago her hus- band, Jeremiah Mulquin, disappeared in a very strange manner. They had lived nappily together, and nothing could induce her to be- lieve that his absence was of his own free will and accord. Finally, after waiting until all hope of his return had fled, she was advised by her friends that as it Was more than probable that he had met with some accident and lost his life it wouid be best for her to take advan- tage of the first good chance that offered in the Matrimonial line. In due course of time the good chance came and was duly seized by the supposed widow. She soon learned to disprove the popular theory that a woman can only realiy love once If anything she was fonder of her new lord than the lamented Mulqiiln. Four years and a half passed away when sud- denly who should drop in on the “relict” and her second husband but “dear Jerry’ himself, There ART NOTES. National Academy of Design. Tt is with great pleasure and gratitude that we ob- serve that the Council of tue National Academy of Design have determined to institate a summer exhl- bition, to oceupy the interval between the spring and winter seasons, Apart from those of our citizens who at the first approach of warm weather betake themselves to their various summer residences there is @ class, by nO Manner of means inconsider- able, who, from a variety of reasons, either linger much later in the city or remain here during the en- Ure season. In every large city forming, as une me- wopolis does, a sort of travelling centre, there is al-o another class, of strangers, who remain a fewdays on their way to or from their homes in the course of their summer travels. All these form a number it is somewhat important to consider, Uf course the more attractions there are oifered to remain in town the less will be the tendency to desert it, Leaving all places of amusement and recreation abandoned, and the more agreeable will the city become to those compelled or to those who desire to stay there, it is gratifying thus, among te amusements offered, to find an opportunity presented for cultivating @ taste and appre- ciation for art. This move on the part of the council is another great step towards that which itis @ stame in the third targest city in the civilized world not to possess—a permanent exhibition of fine arts, Some progress has already been made in that direction.

In color these two pictures are rich aud varied, yet delicate and perfectly well harmonized, The rendition is careful and studied, perhaps a trifle labored, but with # feeling and poetry of sentiment that would pardon even that.

M. Spencer has made @ very ambitious attempi, which is quite a diferent thing from making @ very good picture. We think we lave seen some reasonably good works of this artist, with reasonable subjects, such as might be fairly supposed to be within the range of an ordinary intelligence, and they were not without merit of a certain kind—intelligibulity; but one is raiher staggered to be shown a farrago of allegorical aud metaphysical balderdash, and coolly told that it “must be strictly consistent with the facts or ideas to be represented.” It would bea question quite beyond the province of the critic, ag it is evidently beyond the power of the artist, to decide whai is the relation between ignorance and falsehood or to what extent innocence und ignorance might be cor sidered as either antiinetic or antagonistic. One does feel rather inclined to inquire what more reasonable motive than exuberant Amer- icantsm could have Reece the lugging tn of the idea of the divine right of kings, with wluch selfish: ness that ‘brutal monster” appears to be investe: ‘rhe drawing, if we may be permitted vo judge these creatures of the imagination by any human standard, ts on poor throughout.

In many cases very respectable paintings were knocked down for $50. Oriental landscapes, matu- rai wonders, domestic scenes, views of mountains, streams and cascades passed in panoromic view and brought insignificant sums, None could fail to notice the absurd amounts paid for paintings which the every-day man would pronounce superb and the connoisseur tolerable. It showed that the popular conception of an impecunions artist is not far wrong after all. Judging from the sale last evening, painting is an awrul poor business, and unless there is a good deal of fun there 1s very litue profit.

THE GATES WILL CASE. of Surrogate Mills—The Will Pro- valid on Account the Testa tors Insanity—Blasted Hopes and Blightca Expectations. The anxiously looked for decision of Surrogate Mills, of Westehester county, in the of the contested will of Carleton Gates, deceased, was ren- dered by that oficial, at White Plains, Nesterday, It will be remembered that this somewhat remark- able case (tbe progress of which has been fully reported in the HERALD) has been pending in the Surrogate’s Court for many months, and the extraordinary revelations of domestic bitterness which characterized the tedious ligation, together with the large amount of pro- perty involved, invested it with special interest toa large portion of the community throughout the country. The decision denies the application made, on the part of the legatees, to admit the will to pro- vate, on the ground that the testator was insane at the time he signed the will, and for several months previous thereto. In support of his decision that the testator was not of sound mind the Surrogate alluded vo the fact that the will was read to the deceased three times, yet he failed to detect the error made ta writing the hame of the principal legatee under the provisions of tne will, Rev. V. M. Hurlbut, which was given in the testament as “Rev. Vv. Huribnt.* Again, the fact that the deceased jeft $25.00 for the purpose of prosecuting sv jndividul (whose name had irunspired) = whom he suspectec of having administered poison to him, when there appeared to have been no ground for suspicion agaiust any person, wagcertainiy a very bad feature of the will, 80 far as it went to show the state of the testator’s mind at the ume. took occasion to exculpate Dm tluritut f picion of having been instrumental in lestatory documents, or even exerting any imfuence over the deceased in the matt ‘The will itself gave evidence of that fact, for had Dr. Hurlbut made himself offictous In the transaction he would certainly have taken the precaution to see tat his own name was inserted correctly, With a view to affording time to the legatees to prepare an appeal agalast his decision, the Surro- gate announced that he would postpone issuing iet- ters of administration to the relatives of the de- ceaseag until July 1. It has been arranged that the leading counsel on both sides shall receive a fee of $5,000 each, while one-tHfth of that amount has been severally awarded to some three or lour assistants who have been engaged in the case; and in addiuon to this about $6,000 for incidental expenses of the Surrogate Court will have to be borne by te estate in litigation. That an appeal will be taken by the legatees is beyond donbt. A THIEVING SERVANT GIRL.
