Mr. Bing denies the right of the Legislature to Inquire into his private affairs; to undertake to censure or to demand bis resignation and de- nounces as a legislative lie (which epithets be puis tn italice} the assumption that be had done anything wrong. He then adds:—“What I did with a larze sum of money about the time of the passage of the Pacitic Mail Subsidy bill is a matter which T do ‘not propose to disclose to the world except in my Own good time, nor until evi- deuce which lam unable to reach can be secured to the end that the exact facts in the case can be presented to the public, which will bring to me the falest and most complete vindication agaivuat the falschoous whic yoa have specified tn your resp-cttve journals, Until that time which, I trust, 18 not Jar distant, | have only to ay that not one dollar of money’ received by mo, of Watch so much has been talked and written, was ever iutendcod or applied to the influencing of @ vote on the Pacttic Mail subsidy; and no word or line of all- the evidence that has been taken during this long and mo.t searcn- ing Investigation, cver points to any such conclusion ; and 80, conscious of my own recti- tude in this matter and pausing here to tender Unat one Representative who was just enough to- ward me to refuse lis assent to your lytug de- clarations my veg BY thanks, I pass on to some other pots which I propose to present to your and the pablic consideration.” The rest of Mr. King's letter ts devoted entirely and at great length to the vituperation of State Senators Donnelly and Wilkinson, charging thas they are, judging by their record im Congress, no better than they should be.

Wasainaron, Feb. 18, 1875. {THE PINCHBACK QUESTION DEFERRED—CHARAC- TER OF THE DEBATE. After a session of twenty-nine hours the Senate, by & vote of 39 to 22, mid the Pinchback resolution On the table, and thus, as is generally believed by Senators, put off the matter for this session, Mr. Morton, however, declares his determination to bring the question up again, and adda that a Bumber of Senators who voted to lay it on the table to-day would, on a square issue, vote to admit Pinchback. He is probably right, Of the ten republican Senators Who voted to-day to lay on the table—and several of whom did so to get the question out of the way—a number would, it is believed, hesitate to vote “No’’ on the question of admission, The pro- longed sitting was the occasion of some of the best speeches of the ion, Besides Senator Ferry, Messra, Bayard, Ransom and Thurman spoke with remarkable effectivoness, General Ran- som, to particular, delighting and even surprising his triends, Mr. Boutwell, on the other side, made a carefully prepared speech, in which he took extreme groand in favor of centralization and federal interference, declaring that the South could not be left at rest until its people consented that white and colored children should sit side by side in the schools, and that it might be advisable to put States under provisional governments, He declared his belief in a secret political organiza- tion in the South, hositle to the Union, and eutogized Prosident Grant and General Sheridan. He asserted that the federal government Is to a elde when and whether a State has a republican form of government, and he justified the disper- sion of the New Orleans Legislature. His speech has the merit of proceeding upon logical grounds, Mr. Boatwell ts for centralization, and so being he does not excuse or palliate. He would go even | Jurtner than the President has yet gone, THE LOUISIANA COMMITTEE'S CONCLUSIONS. The Loutsiana Committee come slowly to a con - clusion. As was expectea by those who knew Mr, Wheeler's qualities us a lawyer and statesman, he finds it impossible to agree with the extreme views entertained by Messrs.

Wasaisaton, Feb. 18, 1875, The foliowing address has just been prepared by the democratic members of Congress irom the Sonth and Southwest: To THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES :— You have confided to tho undersigned m_ this conjunction of aifairs the delicate and @iMeult task of guoraing in the federal Congress your ars loterests, your rights and your reputation, You will therefore parcon the liberty we take of addressing you at a pertod so critical upon a matter affecting your destiny and that ot your posterity. You cannot nave sailed to observe the persistent efforts of some of the leaders of the republican party to revive the animosities of the jate war, which, bappily, are past, giving place to a spirit ot concord and unity to every section of our common country. It 1s mpossible to predict certainly the effect of those appeals to passion. We believe that. through tue honest representa- tion of afew upright and conscientious federal oMcers and the agents of an able and tudependeat public press, and of many citizens without regard to party, the true condition of tne Southern States and the real sentiments of the Southern people are being gradually made known toour {cilow citizens of — the North.

An excellent collection of paintings by Ameri” Can artists 1s Now on exhibition at tue Leavits Art Gallery. Nearly all prominent native artists are represented »y works worthy of their reputation. The collection has the recommendation of being ,disanetively American. Unlike some of ita pre- devessors, {t had more ciaim on puviic attention than its nativity, for many of the works are of great beauty and sterling merit. Moran con- | tributes two marines in his very vest manner. One 1s & fishing subject and ts treated with admirable apprectation of the picturesque side of seafaring Mfe, There is a good deal of action and diversity In the composition. Without being talse to the daily life of our fAshermen, Mr, Moran lifts it out of the region of commonplace into a semi-poctic state of being that raises up and Gignifies what is in reality a very progatc mode of lie, A breezy can vas, by the same artist, represents @ ship at sea ranuing before a fresh breeze. It is full of power and motion, Standing before tt one can almost Note the roll ot the wave. The ship, too, is buoy- ant. and moves before the wind, In seizing this Sense of motion in water Mr. Moran is without a rival. It is some time since we bave seen piciures from his case! in which the best qualities ot hia work are more happily comoined than canvases he contributes to the pres exhibition, William = Hart has a warm and luscious auiuma landscape, rich io gold and brown tints. A marme picture, by Nicolls, deserves attention for Its excellent exe- cuilon and its close resemblance to tne long, roll- ing wave to which Richards bas established a copyright, We think Mr, Nicolls ought to flad a wave of bis own. He can do very well without imitating any one. Church is represented by a small canvas, which posseases Some ol the best qualities Ol this artist's work. George H. Story has two very charming genre sabjects, weil drawn, good in color and exquisite in leeling. brown's “Slight Misunderstanding” reminds us too strongly of Maclise’s “Wolf and Lamb,” His large picture, tsough displaying the good quait- tes of this artisi’s Work, 1s too diffuse in composi- tlon to secure deep interest. Many of the groups are well studied, and by theiselves Make pretty pictures inside the general com- position. Heave contributes some very cleverly U apple blosso1s, David Johuson has ab ng picture woien he calls “Evening on | ake.” Tuere is Qiways a qmet and refined sentiment in Mr. Jonuson’s works which attracts sympathy, We coniess to a pleasant surprise at A. W. Tnompson’s “Read to St. Reny, Picardy.” itis an admirable rendering of daylight effect, and the artist bas succeeded mm making an ad- Mirable picture out of sight material, Winsiow Homer's “Huasking Corn’ ts a good pictue, In which there is much character and a good render- ing Ol daylight effect. [tis a work Im which to artist's color ullaritics help the effect, W. Magrath's “Blackberry Picker" and “Young Hunter” are well wortoy of note. This artist bas @ great deal of real merit and onght to be more heard of than he is. Fhis collection remiins on when it will be gold by auciton. THE CREW OF THE WOODWARD SAFE.
