He was always prominent in all matters connected with public works. After the Railway law of 1842 was adopted he was honored by a medal being struck with his effigy. After the Revolution of 1548 he was again elected, and was one of the chiefs of the moderate republicans in the Constituent Assembly, ppposing strongly all tendoncies to socialism. He was a member of the Committee on the Constitution and Minister of the Interior under General Cavaignac. Later on Lows Napoleon called M. Dufaure again to office.

The pfison regulations permitted bim to see only one person daily, and then only through @ grating within She hearing of other prisoners.

He had no se- trots that he objected to an officer hearing, but he was unwilling to discuss the case im the presence of other prisoners.

Mra Annie Lynch, a very excellent and very popular teacher of music in this city, gave aconcert at Stein- way Hall lastevening which was very well attended, Tne lady whose name gave an éclat to the concert sang most charmingly some vocal selections, and her pupils acquitted themselves admirably. Where every one was really good it would be invidious to particu- larize, There was no attempt at what is now generally known as high art in this concert, but thero was abundance of enjoyment. Mra Lynch may be con- Grasniates on being able to present before the public a rge number of talented and well trained pupils, who may as attain positions of celebrity inthe musical wor! MUSICAL AND DRAMATIO NOTES. The Kellogg English Opera Company commences a Season at the Academy of Music on Monday next. This company has met with extraordinary success throughout the country. The New York Liederkranz Vocal Society give their annual masquerade ball to-night at the Academy of Music, The musical selections form one of the most interesting features of the programme, An interesting ovent of the present musical season ‘will be the frst appearance to-morrow night of Mme, Teresa Carreno as Zerlina in “Don Giovanni,’ with Mile. Titiens in her best rdle, Donna Anna Miss Julia Rive, the talented young pianiste, who re cently created such a profound sensation by her ex- quisite playing at the last Philharmonic concert, will shortly appear in Chicago, assisted by some of the nest vocal talent in that city. Mme. Arabella Goddard, of whom it has been justly said that she is the first of living pianists of the tender Sex at the present day, will shortly give a series of re- citals in this city, The fame of Mme, Goddard is world wide, She plays with equal facility and effect the works of the old and new schools, Her recitals must needs be a source of enjoyment and study in the works of the classical authors to all who hear her. POLITICAL NOTES. The Portland Advertiser (rep.) with much pro- priety remarks’ that “Augusta is a dangerous place for public documents of a private natgre. Mr. Fos- ter’s celebrated letter to Mr, Blaine mysteriously got foto print there, and now {t appears that a proof of Mr. Blaine’s currency speech was stolen from the Journal office there during the holidays and forwarded to Mr. Tarbox, of Massachusetis, who thereupon pre- pared an ‘impromptu’ reply at his letsure,”” The Cleveland Leader (rep.) reviews the demo- cratic fleld in Ohio, and comes to the conclusion that Toledo wants Allen, the Plaindealer (Cleveland) waats Thurman, Columbus wants Peraloton and tho Enquirer (Cincinnati) wants Hendricks. The contest in New Hampshire waxes warm, with chances in favor of the republicans, in consequence of the bad war record of the democratic candidate for Governor, The editor of the Paris True Kentuckian met Gen- eral Leslic Coombs at Lexington Court and readily thought of Reverdy Johnson's death, ‘He was a great man,” said he, “but he killed the whig party, It was he who, more than any other man, put Tyler on to Har- rison and Frelinghuysen on to Clay. Mr. Clay sent mo to see Archbishop Hughes, who said he liked Clay but couldn’t go Frelinghuysen. The close vote in New York showed that.a popular man with Mr, Clay would have won the State and nation.’” The Illinois State Register (rep.) classifies its Presi- dential preferences as follows:—First, it would have John A. Logan, but considers this selection out of the question, because Illinois cannot now furnish a Presi- dent; next it is for Senator Morton, unless some stronger man, as a suldier, can be had from the Middle States. It would not go east of the Alleghanies for a candidate. Says the St. Paul (Minn.) Dispatoh (dem.):—“If Bill King don’t ask the tndorsement of a re-election tt will ‘be because the republicans of the ‘State have indorsed him by sending a Blaine delegation to Cincinnati. He has issued an order to have such a delegation, and his Legislature and collared gentry are arranging to obey the command.” Senator Wright will not accept the appointment to the additional Judgeship in the Supreme Court of Iowa, Cause—Meagreness of salary. The Cincinnati Commercial thinks that Blatne’s finan- cial speech Is as “good as could be expected from a ¢is- tinguished politician,” General Grant and General Longstreet are not brothers-in-law. There is areport that he distantly belongs to the Dent family, but not the President's, The Troy Budget (rep.) avors that Conkling and Blaine “don’t speak,” and yet they are the biggest talkers in Congress or that could be found at any old woman's tea party. Is Hambleton, ex-Clerk of the Committee on Ways and Means, of the thoroughbred, full blooded Hamble- tonian stock? 5 The election of this year will be the twenty-third Presidential cleotion In the history of the government under the national constitution, The St. Louis Times suggests that the President ought to know how to depose, because he deposed Hender- son. A Southern paper asserts that “every democrat must work.” That 1s whata good many of them on the Boulevard and other public works in this city would like to do, A Western paper announces that ‘the latest demo- cratic plan is to nominate Hendricks for the Presi- dency, abandon New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and New Hampshiro to the republicans and make the great central States of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana the battle groand.”’ Hardly. It would not do for the democrats to “give it up so.”? A Southwestern paper 1s of opinion that there is a Dyer necessity for the administration having a *‘Bab- cock’s extinguishor, ’? The latest reports from tho national game at St, Louts. Gamo called promptly on time. McKee caught out on the fly, Maguire to the bat, Babcock on deck. Low ball! Z-ip—foul and out! Next !--Omaha Herald. The Richmond Whig (dem.) romarks that “ifthe democrats are wise they will lot the currency alone until they are masters of the situation and can abso- lutely control it. Make greenbacks receivable for all dues, if possible, and convertible into bonds; let the banks alone, and when they get possession of the gov- ernment they may be able to act with wisdom and “If any one supposes," affirms tho Philadelphia North American (rep.), “that the fanatical doctrines preached in the Academy of Music by Wendell Phillips repre- sent any sentiment entertained by the republicans of Philadelphia that person is in error. The man who denies to the Southern whites the superiority they have displayed in war, ini statesmanship, in politics and in many other ways, is simply eaten up by proju- dice, Ifthe numbers were equal the whites would be more than @ match for the negroes at everything" ‘The Hartford Times brings out the Hon. David A. Wells as a candidate for the democratic nomination in the Third Congressional district, Wells is a liberal re- publican and favors free trade and hard money. Thor Washington Republican states that “itis pro- posed to call that portion of the official reports of the debates in the House which embraces the leading democratic amnesty speeches the Congressional Amended Record.” It might be called so tn the case of ‘both parties for the matter of that. The Buffalo Courier (dem.) is of optaton that “the dis- grace ofathird term nomination in the centonnial year will be spared tho country,” and attributes that result to the course of the independent and democratic press on the third term issue. The Cincinnati Times (rep.) thinks that “before Jeff. Davis is acquitted of responsibility for Andersonville he should be called to the stand and mado to submit to a short cross-examination.’ The Detroit Pree Press (dem.) says the “third termers are well represented in the committee appornted by tho republican cageus to select suitable names of one from each county to compose the Union Repablican Congressional Committee, The committee consists of two Senators and ive Representatives, and one of the Senators and two of the Representativ: horrab for Grant and a third term." Says the Concord (N. H.) Patriot (dem.):—“Gen- eral Winfleld Scout Hancock Is likely to be the democratic candidate for Presidomt the way matters now look, He 1s the strongest man for the democratic party to nominate, ”* The Nashville American (dem.) ailirms that “it needs no argument to satisfy those at all familiar with the course of Mr. Thurman in the last two campaigns tn Ob1o that he cannot lead the democracy of that State te victaxy,”? FINE ARTS. POSTPONEMENT OF THE SALE OF THE TOMES COLLECTION OF SPANISH PICTURES. A short time betore the hour for the sale at Leavitt's last evening a notice was recoved by Mr. Tomes stating that, as the appraisement of the pic had not been completed through the day, sale must be postponed. Mr, Tomes Collector Arthur and learned from him that tho appraisement would be firished to-morrow, so that the sale might commence to-morrow night. The Pictures were not imported by Mr. Tomes, but this gentloman advanced money on them after the original collector had failed to dispose of them last June, at which time no objection was made to the amount of duty paid for them, Since then the pictures have increased in value from the greater popularity of water colors in this county and the higher reputation of some of the artists represented, and no cbargo of undervaluation has been made until the prepara- tions tor the present sale, The understanding between the parties now interested in the sale and the officials appears to have been that the pictures would be valued by experts before the sale aud compared with the actual prices brought at auction, There are 179 pictures in the collection, and two 's should cer- tainly have been sufficient to see and judge the value of them. The pictures are really in the possession of the government, and neither Mr. Tomes nor Messrs, Lea- vitt have C4 control over the actions of the officials, al- shough any loss of time and extra expense arising from the postponement of the sale must be borne by them. SALH AT SCHENCK’S GALLERY TO-DAY, A portion of the pictures which have been exhibited at Schenck’s gallery for the past week will be sold at noon to-day.

FEARS OF THE DECLINE OF GERMAN ART—GER- MAN EXHIBITIONS OF .PAINTINGS—THE SUB- JECT SUBMITTED TO THB REICHSTAG, Beruiy, Feb. 5, 1875. Considerable interest has been lately aroused all over Germany with respect to the present condition and prospects of German art in the widest sonse of the term, meaning thereby not only those nigher branches of msthetics usually known as “the fine arts”—paint- ing, sculpture, music, &c,—but also those art industries and handicrafts the true prosperity of which ministers so much to the elegance, the refinement, even the com- fort of life. ‘Tho subject camo lately UNDER DISCUSSION IN THE REICHSTAG, and August Reichensperger made a speech which has attracted much attention. He lamented the decadence of German art, stigmatized the mania for Italian ideas and style prevalent in alt depart- ments, and the flagrant want of originality in most of the working artists of the day, who conforming their practice to the provatling tastes, con- tent themselves with copying their predecessors, jn- stead of giving us new creations, ‘We do not want,” he exclaimed, ‘a German ‘fashion,’ but a German style and a thoroughly German taste.”’ MIS POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS. But Reichensperger belongs to the Centre party, and hence the government newspapers do not regard him as a friendly critic, while the organs of other branches of public opinion, such as the Areuszeitung, the represent- ative of tne high Protestant and aristocratic sentiment, pronounce his speech to be “the expression of a thor- oughly German feeling.” Anyhow, some tacts which the census has just brought to light seem to confirm his views of the deterioration of German art, not merely in the higher branches, but also in those finer handicrafts above alluded to, REMARKS OF THE PRESS. The Frankfurter Zeitung, of the 20th inst., has on this point the following interosting information :— Befory the Gallo-German war of 1870-71, thero were, altogether, about 200 French artisans in Berlin; thoir number bas now Increased to 2,400, Most of those ou- triers are stucco workers, carpenters, carpet makers and | designers, Almost all the principal manufactories and carpet establishments in Berlin employ French work- men and designers, who are in great request by reason of their taste and punctuality. Prince Von Pless, who is building in tne Wilhelmstrasse a palace in the Renais- sance style, employs upon it exclusively French work- men, sixty in number, It is being built after the plans of the celebrated architect, Detailleur, of Paris, M. Detailleur is at present in Berlin to confer with the Princo about the fittings and furniture, A great num- ber of the Berlin aris.ocracy send their orders to Paris, where they are executed more cheaply and better than In Berlin. Prince Putbus has caused sandstone to be bronght from the neighborhood of Paris as tar as the ialand of Rigen, and ho finds that the cost, inclusive of freight, is less than if he had purchased it in Germany. Tho French artisans living in Berlin (among whom are 100 cooks) earn, on an average, from nine to twenty francs aday. They live very thriftily, and are soon able to put by considerable savings. Every Saturday evening they assemble at a voluntary réunion in tho “Elephant Cellar,” on the Donhofsplatz, ART EXMIBITIONS IN GERMANY. The exhibition at Disseldorf contains the picture, only just completed, of B, Cart Hoff, “The Christening in the House of Mourning,” which is destined for the National Gallery in Berlin. The visitors to the exhibi- tion have shown the liveliest interest in this picture, and it fe, anquestionably, one of the best works of this painter. In particular, the masterly treatment of tho composition, as a whole, 1s specially praised, Professor Camphausen, also at Disseldorf, has just finished his great picture, commissioned by the Em- peror William, representing the triumphant entry of the German army into Berlin on the 18th of Jane, 1871. The artist, who was present on the occasion of the entry, has reproduced the scene with marvellous fidelity, and has mastered his very difficult task tn the happiest and most successful manner, IN MeNTCH. The Art Association here has exhibited during the last few weeks paintings on religious sub- jects by Pfannschmidt, a pupil of Cornelius; by Baar of Weimar (‘'St. Paul, as a Prisoner, Preaching In Rome”); and by Hofmann, of Dresden (“Christ Preaching from on Board Ship’), which have caused considerable sensation, This is the more remarkable, because it fs well known that, fora considerable time, painting has been quite barren in this department, IN VIENNA. The ‘‘Kunstlerhaus” hore has lately included tn its exhibition, “What You Will” and “A Summer Night's Dream,” by A. Steinbe, both of which arc character- ized by poetic conception and delicacy of handling, and have been viewed with mach interest. Attention has also deservedly been given to Passini's “Scenes in nd copies from Raphael, Titian and Giorgi- one, by Gustav Gaul. IF CASSRI. ‘The celebrated draughtsman and MNthographer, George Koch, has completed beautiful copies of those gems of Raphael's youth, the “Madonna Conestabile,”” and tho “Madonna di Temp.” This latter picture, which 18 one of the chief ornaments of the “Pinaco- theca’ at Munich, formed lately the subject of a beau. tifal engraving by Raab, A photographie copy of it, from Koch's drawing, is included in his “Raphael Album,” which has been. published by Theodore Kay, of Cassel. The “Madonna Conestadile’ was formerly in Perugia, but is now im the possession of the Empress of Russia, Koch's drawing of it has been produced as | @ photograph by the Berlin Photographic Company. It is hardly necessary to note that Koch is famous in Germany for his capital reproductions of Raphael's works. Not long since the Art Association of Cassel exhibited several copies, admirably executed in colors by Professor Ihlee, of that city; of paintings by Raphael and other Italian mastors. JAPANESE VISITO! The Japanese Consul and the Japanese Commissioner of Education paid a visit to the New York Normal College yesterday morning, in company with Com. missioner Fuller, chairman of the Normal College by President Hunter and Prosident Wood, of the Board Gf Sduoation, The Japanese Commissioner made Commitiee, They were shown through the wt | ps add to the young ladies, in which he told them of the progress made in education in Japan daring the last few years. A system of pablic schools almost similar to that prevailing in New York had been in- troduced, there were eight normal schools for young men and one for young women already in operation, The latter is under the special care of the Empress.
