But everything in tnis world 1enot always whas it seems to be, and such is the case in the present Instance. ‘Im whe firet piace, Mr. Cooper nas not bad any inten- tion and does not intend to break up the Uitizens’ Association, if he has anything to say about it, Im the second place, it is true that a circular ad- Gressed to him, asking for the dissolution of the fssoeiaon, was signed by thirty or forty of the prominent members of the concern, But it happens ‘that a big tale hangs thereby, and this is what it @mounis to, according to the statement made yes- terday to a HERALD reporter by one of the leading members of the association, Said he:—‘'I may ag ‘well start out by saying that the association ts not. @oing to break up, and that no letter has been sent to Mr. Cooper signed by any of the members. “ANE QTIZBNS’ ASSOCIATION. ‘The facts are just these: Mr. Edward Matthews and Paul N. Spofford went spout town, I think some five weeks ago, ‘with a letter addressed to Mr. Cooper asking for the @micable dissolution of the association, on the ground that the objects to amain which the associ- ation had been formed had been accomplished. ‘This lever was signed by about thirty members of ‘the association, under the misapprehension that it ‘Was issued by Mr. Cooper, and that it was the general desire of the memiers to SEITLE THE: AOCOUNTS @f the association and say a guodby all round ina ful way. * oot of this mis- prehension 1 need ‘ont state that gendeman. who sii it and every by hag slace been iniormed as to the true state of feeling of the association, has expressed his de- termination to cancel his signature.

Mr. Cooper insisted n his getting out of the association, and he was ed up in his stanu in the matter by several of ‘owner members.” “But what has thas got to do with the letter about ‘the dissolution?” “It-nas everything to do with it.

Plaseman’s Statue of Benjamin Franklin. ‘A statue of the immortal Benjamin Franklin has Just been completed by the frm of De Groot & Pigss- man, which the former genuleman intends to pre- sent to the press and printers of New York on tne Stn of January. The site selected for the erection or this monament to the great humani- tariap and philosopher is in the angle formed by. Park row and Nassau street. It ig. not creditable to the citizens of New York that the care of gom- memorating the virtues and services of 60 digtin- guished an American as Benjamin Franklin should have been lelt to a private citizen, who, deatrin; to mark his sense. of the numerous distinguishea services rend tg him during hia long career by the géntiemen of the press, thonght that the most graceful way to do so would be to erect a statue to one of the greatest members of the profeasion. And the result of that resolu- tion 18 the work which it becomes our duty tg criti cise. Were we to consult only our feelings of gratitude for the generosity of the gitizen who, at great expense, presenta the Frankun statue to the city we should, perbaps, write a few Mnes commending his public spirit, passing lightly over the merits of the work, in gentleness to the feeungs of the giver. But other considerations make it imperative tnat all works of art, whether purchased by the city government or orgoted by private generosity, shall be treatea strighy upon their merits as WORKS OF ART. The influence of public monuments ig forming the art taste of a people is greater than may at first sight appear, because the majority of people have noidea of what constitutes beauty or merit in ‘works of art, and especially in sculpture, Therefore, ‘when they see works sct up among them with the authority which their selection by those who are supposed to know something abont a subject 80 car/are to the general public as art, tney at once assume that the examples set before them are the bighest' development of art gentus. For your common-place man of the world is generally logicat in bis. views about matters in which he takes but a curions imterest, and where his rea son is unswayed by prejudice. He therefore argues in tms wise:—“Here ia @ statue erected at great expense to do honor to @ great man, and no doubt the pecple who thought enough about him to erect the statue went to the very best artist, and this Is the result.” Nothing more logical, or more opposed to the usual practice in such cases, and henoe: the necessity for the watchfulness of tho ress, Already many of our public places are dis- red by the presence of HIDEOUS OBJECTS, which under the pretence of commemorating the virtues of our glorious dead exercise a baneful influence on the destiny of the republic by warning men against the dan; to which the gratitude of their iellow cilizens might expose them. Could Lincoln have seen tho statues which a grateful country nas erected to bis memory we are convinced he would bave at once abandoned all dreams ‘of ambition, and resoived to bere his days in happy obscurity splitting rails.
