Some months ago we called attention to the ‘utisatisfactory management of our National Academy of Design, The perils we then complained of were admitted by gentlemen high in authority, and our aid was invoked in Support of those who wished to remedy the abuses which we denounced. As the moment is approaching when the works for the winter exhibition will be presented for approval by the Reception Committee, we wish to remind the genilemen composing it of the duty they owe to the public and to our national art academy. It bas been the custom hitherto to admit, almost indiscriminately, all works presented for exhibition, without regard to their merit, ‘This was, vo doubt, owing to the difficulty of procuring a sufficient number of respectable yorks to clothe decently the Academy walls, 4nd it was thought better to fill the space with bad paintings rather than make a confession of weakness. Weare of quite a different opin- don. An art academy, to be useful, must be & @chool of correct taste, and allowing the presence of inferior works within its sanctuary lessens its authority both with people of taste and with the masses. Perhaps the strongest weason why the Academy of Design has never been really popular is that it has never deserved ‘to be so. In the cultivation of a love for high art among the American people the Academy of Design has a grand mission and not a very difficult oxe, if only the directors would exer- cise their better judgment in its management. Reform must begin with the strict exclusion of worthless paintings: from exhibition. The difference in point of quantity will be more than made up by the absence of those sad evidences of misspent time which offended the eye in the summer exhibition. Nor would the result fail to be most advantageous to the interesis of the Academy, for people of taste ‘could then take some interest in its proceed- aygs. Confidence and respect would secure 1 Mtronage and public favor, and we might hope to see a real influence exerted not alone over public opinion, but over the work of in- dividual artists, which could scarcely fail to be beneficial in its effects. Considering the number of gentlemen of really respectable talent who are members of the Academy, the little influence exerted by the body in matters of art is surprising, and not at all creditable. Tt is now, however, in their power to change the state of feeling from indiffer- ence to interest and respect, and the way to do so ie to disassociate themselves from the mass.of mediocrity which has up to this time been a dead weight upon their efforts. We want to see the pruning knife ap- plied vigcrously, so that when the winter ex- hibition opens we may be able to give applause and support to an institution for whose welfare we are sincerely anxious. Ex- amples enough are at hand to justify the mem- bers of the Academy setting themselves up in their own house as judges of what is worthy of admission and what is not, and the closer they draw the line the better. What has to be clearly understood is that the public desire a good exhibition rather than a large one, and, keeping this fact steadily in mind, the com- mittee will do good service by excluding all works that do not possess at least respect- able merit. In our last article on this subject we warned both the academicians and the ex- hibitors that we shall in future treat with scant courtesy such works as cannot show good reason for intruding themselves on public notice in the Academy exhibitions, We renew this promise of attention, but hope steps will be taken to disarm criticism. But our duty to the public and our attachment to the interests of art alike demand that we protest against a repetition of the mistakes of former yeurs. We hope that the academicians will insist on some merit in all works admitted within their walls, no matter how small may be the resulting collection.

THE OASE OF HAWKINS. We have again had an exciting day in this city. This morning sentence was passed upon Thomas Hawkins, found guilty of adultery under the Territorial laws. The sentence is three years’ hard labor in the Penitentiary and $500 fine, Hawkins has been lodged in the prison at Camp Douglas under military guard. His case comes up again on Monday morning before Judge McKean on application for his release on bail until an appeal is decided before the Supreme Court. It is probable that he will be allowed his liberty by giving $10,000 bail to await final judgment. Hawkins’ sentence is regarded as an act of persecution by the Mormons; by other classes it is regarded in the light of an example some- what lenient, The sentence has produced a deep commotion in Mormon circles, the ef- fect of which cannot be justly measured nor clearly foreseen. ARREST OF MAYOR WELLS. But the more intense excitement of this af- ternoon, caused by the arrest of Mayor Daniel H, Wells, one of the Presidents of the Church of Latter Day Saints, on an indictment found by the Grand Jury for murder, together with the arrest of Judge Hosea Stout and Wil- liam Kimball, prominent citizens, on the same grounds, has quite put in the shade the Hawkins case. WELLS’ ORIME. Wells is charged with the murder of one Richard Yates, a mountain trader, who was killed in the Mouth Weber Canyon and robbed of $900 in 1857. STOUT A DOUBLE MURDERER, Stout is indicted for the same offence, and a second indictment charges him with the murder of another man. A DANITE ACORSSORY. Kimball is accused of being accessory to the murder of a man called Buck, who was killed in 1858, a couple of miles from this city, THE EXAMINATION. Wells and Stout were brought before Judge McKean this afternoon, but, it being late, the discussion of the right of the Court to admit them to bail was postponed until Monday morning. THE MORMON POLICE MUTINOUS. They were then taken to the United States Marshal's office, followed by a large crowd, among which were all the city police, some of whom said that Mayor Wells should not go to Camp Douglas unless he wished; but there was no difficulty or disturbance, THE SAINTLY PRISONERS IN JAIL. Finally, carriages having been obtained, the accused were taken by Marshal Patrick to Camp Douglas and placed in an empty building, over which two sentries were placed by General Morrow. HOW THEY ARE TREATED, They have plenty of blankets from the 1 hosnital and a cheerful fire, and they are ina comfortable situation, Mayor Wells accom- panies and shares the quarters with the others by consent of the Marshal. They will be brought down on Monday fo be present in Court for arraignment. THE EXCITEMENT INCREASING. These arrests have caused unusual excite- ment in the city. The news is just spreading about, and is steadily increasing the feeling. ANOTHER ARREST. One Meachain, indicted for the murder in which Kimball is alleged to be implicated, was arrested a few days ago 160 miles south of here and brought to Camp Douglas, where he is incarcerated. When canght he was found secreted in a stack of straw. ORSON HYDE FLOWN. Orson Hyde, a prominent member of the Church, for whom a warrant of arrest for murder had been issued, escaped from the officers after a chase of six miles, THE SAINTS ON THE ALERT. It is difficult now to make arrests in the southern part of the Territory. The presence of United States officers is known to the com- munity with telegraphic celerity, and the ac- cused escape capture with little difficulty, be- ing early apprised of the officer coming. BRIGHAM YOUNG A FUGITIVE, Brigham Young was at Beaver, two hundred and fifteen miles south of this city, on Friday morning, and was still going south, ne “FLIES BY NIGHT.” He seems to travel by night, for some rea. son or other. He will probably stop at St. George, the-extreme southern settlement near the Arizona frontier. HE WILL HIDE FOR THE WINTER. It is thought that he will not return here before spring, if then, A SAINTLY ASSASSIN. A fanatical fellow attempted to shoot Mar- shal Patrick in the street this evening, but the Marshal seized the pistol, arrested him and took him to the lockup at the City Hall, THE MORMON PRISONERS.

THE EXCITEMENT AMONG THE MORMONS. The excitement over the arrest of Mayor Wells, Judge Stone and Bill Kimball has somewhat disappeared from the surface, but there is still a very deep feeling exhibited by the Mormon community, The minor Mormon organ, the Herdd, is ex- tremely wrathy, It characterizes the ar- rest of Wells as another link in the chain of conspiracy aimed at the very exist- ence of the Mormon people. It thinks that the United States Attorney is determined to have, if not convictions, at Teast public odium cast upon the leading men of the community. It says the indictments were all found on the testimony of a notorious desperado—Bill Hickman—now at Camp Douglas, whom the Herald asserts committed all the crimes, BILL HIOKMAN’S OASE. For many years Bill Hickman was one of the leaders of the Saints, and a very usefal tool of the Church, He is now, of course, cast aside, and receives all the blame and hard names, The prosecution professes to have ample corroborating testimony to obtain convictions, GRAND RECEPTION BY THE PRISONERS. To-day the prisoners, with the consent of General Morrow, have been visited by their Mormon friends, A continued stream of wagons has been pouring in and out of Camp Douglas, and men and women, to the number of at least a thousand, have visited the ac- cused. Indeed, appearances at their quarters would suggest that a great statesman or war- rior was giving reception, so great was the crowd, All the leading Mormons called, of course, and tendered their sympathies, and many subsequently visited General Morrow, who had a very free and frank exchange of views with them in regard to the situation. His ideas evidently made a certain impression upon them, THE PRISONERS SATISFIED, The accused express themselves satisfied with their accommodations, which are the best the camp affords, They are all supplied with comfortable beds and have plenty to eat. THE TRIAL TO-DAY. To-morrow they will be brought before Judge McLean for arraignment, when applica- tion will be made to the Judge to admit them to bail, a8 their trial is not likely to come off before the spring term of the Court, Bya Territorial act the Judge has discretion to admit to bail persons accused even of murder. If they are released on bail the amount re- quired will be very heavy and suflicient to produce them when required. It is possible that they will be so admitted, as under the circumstances nothing is to be lost by the policy. MEEKNESS AMONG THE ELDERS, At the Tabernacle to-day all the sermons were singularly wanting in their usual fea- ture—abuse of the Gentiles and vilification of the United States authorities, One elder started out on the beaten track, but he was checked, and then devoted himself to the praises of polygamy and the condemnation of adultery and fornication. The services were unusually tame.

HOPES FROM HOOPER. Great things are expected from Hooper Washington, The Fugitive Elders Retursiug—Elder Caunen and Junior Young Come Back— Orson Hyde Still Missing. Sarr Lage, Oct, 29, 1871. RETURN OF ELDER CANNON. Elder George Q. Cannon arrived this morn- ing from San Francisco and preached this afternoon in the large Tabernacle to an audience numbering at least ten thousand. He counselled his hearers to abstain from any act of vio- lence, and to submit to the law. God would protect thom and _ deliver them from their persecutors. The crusade against them, he said, would only strengthen them and glorify them. In the end their Ohurch could not be overturned. Their faith was the inspiration of the Divine Spirit, and it would endure forever. SPEECH OF ELDER PRATT. Elder Pratt was not so conservative, He did not want any whining judge to aay to him, ashe did to Hawkins, “Iam sorry for you.” He wanted no sympathy from any federal official He was ready to go to jail for twenty years, but did not want any pity from such a source. He predicted that God would totally overthrow and annihilate the present persecutors of the Mormon people. ORSON HYDE'S HIDING PLACE.

NEW YORK CITY. Rev. James O'Leary, D. D., will deliver a lecture this evening in Cooper Institute on the subject “Shall France and ireland Deapair ?’’ A gang of thieves have putin appearance near the Barclay street ferry. They prowl round the ferry entrance or stand under the awnings near the corner of West and ny streets, The watch- man at the ferry told one of them ‘to clear” the other night, when the robber whistled and soon had a few confréres on hand. They were soon scattered, however, the watchman coolly telling them that he was & genuine “thief Killer.” The thieves, however, are to be seen in the vicinity constantly. The body of the man found floating in the dock foot of pier No.5 North River on Saturday after- noon was yesterday recognized as that of Jonn (varies B. Elliman, late creditclerk in one of our leading banking houses. Qn the evening of the 18th instant deceased left his place of business and in West street parted with some friends, intendiag to take the boat for his home in New Brighton, Staten Island, and was not afterwards seen alive by his friends. The Suppositicn, is that while on the pier he staggered and fell overboard and was drowned. Deceased was twenty-two years of age and a native of New York, Mr. George Fields, a man seventy years of age, and a native of this State, died at French's Hotel about four o’clock yesterday morning, Some three weeks ago deceased arrived tn this city from his home in New Berlin, Chenango county, N.

In the work before us’ there is not much advanced with which the general reader Is unacquainted; nor beyond the mere logic of facts which tue author has collected aud imperfectly arranged, is there much demon- stration of the truth of the theory propounded, The author is thoroughiy conscious of his weakness, and confines himself to pointing to facts which call for further investigation, He feels (and he Is right) that the subject is of suMctent importance to call for action on the part of the authorities, As hevery justly observes, the Storm Signal Bureau 1g for the benefit ciitefly of the mercantile body, but the whole population is indirectly interested in its operation. In the same way the experiments, which he calls for with the object of establishing some syatem to produce rain at pleasure, would princi- Pally be of importance to the agricultural popula- tton, but then the interest of the nation is closely bound up with the prosperity of this class of pro- ducers, Im support of his theory that 11s possible to compel rain at will by the disturbance caused in the atmosphere by heavy discharges of arttllery, he cites a great number of instances in which rain has” followed battles in seasons of great drought, when its fail could only be accounted for by atmospheric dis turbance due to neavy cannonading. The most noteworthy instance adduced ts at the batue of Buena Vista, in Mexico, in 1847, where, after the engagement of the first day, several heavy showers fell, the same result happening on the second day, though no rain had falien at the place for several months previously, nor did any fall for some months afterwards, This is but one exam- ple among many with which Mr. Powers supports his case, ana certainly the facts, as laid down in his inverestung little work, deserve the utmost atten- tion. In approaching the question why the firing of can- non produces this effect, Mre Powers no longer speaks with decisive autherity, and at best offers us but speculations, some of which are, no doubt, well founded, but still require the confirmation which only an extended course of experiments can give them. Mr. Powers advances his opinions mod- erately, and carefully avoids drawing exaggerated conclusions. He holds that electricity acts an im- portant part in the production of rain, and that this force is produced by the explosion of the gun charge. He says:— “Electricity 1s regarded as one of the forms of force, and certainly in the discharge of a battery of arul- lery an immense force ts brought into action. Fric- tion is one of the means by which Sorce is Converted into and made to produce electricity; and if two batteries of artillery are placed opposite each other and at suitable ance apart and fired simulta- nts can it be doubted that friction wilt bé*prot duced by the particies of the air moving over esch other and that electricity will be deveioped 7” Further on he argues from the effect of artillery discharges in causing water spouts to dissolve that @ similar effect can be produced on the clouds in the upper regions. To quote his own words:— “These considerations suggest that the effect of artillery firing on # horizontal current or moving stratum of air may be very great, the greatest eect being directly above the place where the firing takes place, Such a current, being necessarily in equilib- rium with the air above and below it, would yield to the slightest force, and it may easily be consid- ered that the concussion ofa number of cannon, fired simultaneously, would cause it to sway upward, and finally, if the firing were continued, to break up.” It would certainiy be worth the trouble and expense to set this important question at rest. If indeed nature can be compelled to weep sweet fertilizing tears at the bid- ding of the cannon, that infernal engine of man’s wrath will have befre it a nobler destiny than belching death on armed battalions, and tne voice which has become associated with suffering and crime will become sweeter to the ear than te coo- ing of the dove. lany objections mignt be urged to the theory ad- vanced, and the most powers one 18 the fact’ that rain does not always fall after batties. The expiana- tion offered by the author on this point is decidedly weak, but though he may not have been able to im- agine the proper solution of the difticulty, experi- ments properly conducted would be abie to settle the question satisfactorily. At all events, it is of sufficient importance to merit the attention of the government, and our thanks are due to Mr. Power for the careful manner in which he has worked out his subject. CoMSTOCK’S ELOCUTION AND MODEL SPEAKER, New edition. Philadelphia: J. b. Peterson & Brothers, ‘This pew edition of the late Dr. Andrew Com- stock’s well known system of theoretical and prac- tical elocution comprises “A Complete Speaker and Reading Book,” by Professor Philip Lawrence, of Philadelphia. The selection of ‘gems by the best authors in prose and verse’ seems to have been carefully made. Dr. Comstock’s book 18 illustrated by 263 engravings. The part relating to gesture is extracted principally from Austin’s “Chiromania,” @ work too bulky, expensive and rare for ordinary students. Like all compilers of similar publications Dr. Comstock drew largely upon Lavater and Rush, and in particular upon Siddon’s translation of Engel’s ‘Gesture and Action,” which 1s full of good things, but has no principle of classification. Nearly every treatise on elocution is merely em- pirical. What is wanted 1s not a collection of em- pirical rules, but a system of positive principles, founded upon @ profound study of human nature. The manuscripts of the late lamented Delsarte doubtless contain such @ system, and its pubiica- tion by Mr. James Steele MacKaye, or some other favorite pupil of the celebrated French elocutionist, would be heartily welcomed by vhe public, LITERARY CHIT-CHAT.
