THE FLIMSY PARK CHARGES. pda oS Mayor Wickham returned to official duty yesterday, being absent since Friday of Inst week. Ho was ques- tioned sbortly after arrival ax to whether or not he had received a communication trom Mr. James & Thayer declining position of Comptrotier. The Mayor demied having rvevived such a document. It is probable, however, that the letter will ve sent | orto-morrow, The Board of Aldermen meet again on Thursday, It will be recollected that immo- diately after the reception of Mr. Thayer's name for the Comptroliership, at the last meeting, Alderman Seery moved that the nomination be laid over for tu, lure consideration, Since that time nothing has been done. No caucus of the Tammany Aldermen has been held, and they have been quietiy waiting tor some- thing to turn up. GOSSIPERS AXD SENSATIONALISTS. ince Comptroller Greew’s term expired on the 20th pf November, the local politreians have been at fever heat in discussing the situation and probabilities. Iwo wooks ago tt was positively stated that Mr, Joha Kelly's name woul: be sent into the Board of Alder- the men tor confirmation. Tammany statesmen went around and gave out this direct Intelligence with an wir of great simpli- city and truthfulness They even wont so far as to have Mr. Kelly’s sureties ready at tho City Hall on the date of the Inst assomblage of the Board, But Mr. Kelly’s name did not come, Whon Deputy Clerk Malonoy read ont “James 5. Thayer” from the Mayor's communication, an ominous look of despon- dency swept over the visages of Tammany’s cohorts, who thronged the aldermanic chamber. Yesterday tho same story as to Mr. Kelly's appointment was repeatod With greuter emphasis than before, “1 toll you the thing is fixed,?? remarked one of the Tammany Half General Committee. “The names of Jobn Kelly and William ©, Whitney will be trans- mitted to tho Aldermen without fail on Thursday next, Mr. Thayer will prev notify the Mayor of bis ine ability to accept, ‘Then all will bo clear sailing Mr. John Kelly must be confirmed at once as Comptroller und Mr. William C, Whitney as Corporation Counsel.” “What brings avout this apparent change of basé on the part of the Mayor ?”” “Well, the main points of consideration with Mr. Wickham hinges on the reappointment of his friend Whitney. It 1s probable that he mado this bargain solely with the proviso that Whitvey should bo made rus, Corporation Counsel. At the late meeting of the Aldermen, when Mr. Thayer’s name was sent in, Mr, Whitney's term of office had not expired. Under tho operations of the charter the Mayor was com- peled to nominate within ten days after the expiration of the term. If, therefore, he had sent in the namo of Mr. Kelly at that time, and the nomi ation Was confirmed on the spot, he (Mayor Wick- lam) would not have any check upon the majority of the Aldermen 50 as to secure the place of Corporation | Counsel tor “bosom friend’? Whitney. Now, it is likely that be has received Mr. Kelly's guarantee that | the fammavy City Fathers will vote for Whitney so as to secure him a second term in the Corporatiou Coun- belship.’? Doryoo think that Mr. Kelly will accent the posi- hon of Comptroller?” “Well, if he does not he can cartainly name the ean- fidate. “Mayor ¥ aw wil! appoint anybody that the Jammany i designates,’ ‘This is the story yesterday told to tho Heranp present tive by several politicians around the City allund at the meeting o| the Tammany Society on Vonday night.

The ollicials around the Mayor also speak 11 a jocose man- per of the nature of (hose charges against Messrs, Mar- tm and O'Donoghue, and consider it a foregone con- clusion that they will be dismissed without much cere- mony.

The situation 48 clearly given. Thero is the dead body of the man to whom Lear reters when he says, “I killed the slave that was « hanging thee.” Tho composition 18 good, though somewhat conventional, and the gen- eral treatment broad. The principal fault is tho de- Ociency of expression. Still it is a good picture, and creditable to the artist as a sincere and, to a consider- able degree, a successful effort to render a great sub- Jeet. A great conception of Lear bas never been, so far as we know, placed upon canvas One reason is un- doubtedly tuat England has bad no great tmagina- tive painters, and that her finest art is found in the branchos of portraiture and Jandscape. Shakespeare was neglected by the Kugitsh painters unttl near the close of the Eighteenth century, when Boydell invited thirty of the best painters of that period to illustrate his plays, Tho paintings wore then engraved and form sho celebrated the Boydell Gallery. Among the pictures of Lear in this collection is one by Sir Benjamin West, entitled ‘Lear in the Storm,” which was finely engraved by Sharpe. Another by Fuseli 1s called “Lear Disinheriting Cordelia,” in which the faco of the King 1s sald to resemble that of the Minotaur, Barry painted “Lear with Cordelia Dead in His Arms,” described as *‘sadly artificial; tho figure of the worid-worn King is that of an Irish harper, and Cordelia 1s a buxom maiden.’ Reynotds, wisely, perhaps, did not attempt a Lear, Afterward, when Shakespeare became well known to Germany, Moritz Retzsch published bis celebrated etchings, which are, on the whole, tho best iilustra- tions of Shakespeare known, Yet he failed tn iear. “Tho characters,’? it 18 said, “wear the costumes of Holbein’s time, and the King looks like a burgomaster of Franklort rather than an ancient King of Britain.” In our own country little has been done for the illustration of Shakespoare by our artists, ‘Tho pictures by Mr. P. F. Rothermol we remember best, Some of his heads of the monarch are impres- sive, and two of bis most successful works are ‘Loar in the Storm’? and “Lear with the Dead Body of Cor- deli’? In more than ono instance, we believe, Mr. Rothermel bad the greut advantago of having Edwin Forrest as a model. The general tuil- ure to realize Lear on canvas is thus explained in an able article in the fast number of the London Quarterly Review, for October, in which the reader in- terested in the history and state of Shakespearian illus- tration will find much valuable information, “We conceive, howover,’? says the writer, “that Lear is beyond illustration by any art which appeals to one senso only, Tho living voice is wanting * * * Some of the poct’s creations must remain unrealized until a kindred genius shall arise to embody them on canvas. We have secn how tnadequate have been the attempts of many richly gifted men to trans- late the immortal poetry of ‘Lear’ and ‘Macbeth’ into the languago of tho palette,”? It 18 our own belicf that ideal illustrations of Shakespeare, unless of tho frst order of merit, are far less interesting and important than portraits of great actors in their best characters. Thus Hogarth’s eugraving of Garrick as Richard IL, startled from his dream, “Give me another horse! Bind up my wounds!’ or Law- rence’s theatricai picture ot Kemblo as Rolla, or Rey- nolds’ portraits of Siddons, or Thomas Sully’s flue por- trait of Georgo Frederick Cooke in the soliloquy of Richard I1l., or Hicks? portrait of Edwin Booth as Iago are worth much more than the feeble and unsat, isfactory attempts to realize a vague conception with which the Boydell and Retzsch galleries aro filled, THE KOHN ART ROOMS. Under the unpretentious title of “Art Rooms” Mr. Kobn has established in Filth avenue a promising art gallery, devoted wholly to modern art and im great part tothe young men who have been growing up in Earope almost unnoticed under the shudow of the great pames, ‘Ibis isa needed reform, as it gives tho American public a chance of obtaining works of rising men at reasonable prices, instead of waiting until Jamo has fully set its stamp, with accompanying high prices, on their productions, There is, however, in Mr. Kohu’s colicction a sufMfcient number of the works of recognized men to prevent him being regarded as an innovator, Among the artist: with whose works New York 1s familiar may bo mentioned Adoiphe Lesrel, who is represented by probably tbe most important work ne has yet attompted. It shows us “Cavaliers Playing Chess in the Antecbamber of Louis XIV.” The coloring is bril- liant and the minute details are painted with charac- teristic fidelity, Carl Becker's ‘Venetian Lady” isa very sweet composition, by tho well known German colorist, and shows that artist’s style at its best. The work is done solidly, but with a dash and freecom which leaves no roo for the careful finish of the French school. The bead and shoulders aro carefully painted, but the artist evidently did not care to waste his time painting mere dress stuf. This picture is a reduction of the large one in the Berlin Museum, “Winding the Yarn,” by Aivarez, ia pleasant vit of color and has the further recommendation of a sory told. the well The two ladies are evidently enjoy- embarrassment of their somewhat Beaumont’s “Under the Sun's a uliar phase of French life, which is likely to be much better understood in Paris than here, The picture on itsexbibition tn the Salon attracted a great deal of attention from the Farisian press, and it has certain postive merits of execution that recom. mend it to attention, Among the new men are Eu- gene Fines, who makes his appearance with “THE CONVALRSCENT. ’?” It is a careful, almost literal etudy of humble life. but appoals strongly to whatever of human sympathy may be in us ihe child holding the sick giris hand and nestling beside ber is sweetly conceived as the happiest of Von Bremen’s por- traits of childhood, and the sick girl and her mother are both admirable studies, Alphonse Gros, a pupil of M nier, and his nephew, paints very much in bis maste: manner “A Soldier of Louis XIIL,’* which is strong in drawing and that solidity and breadth which distinguish Meissonier’s own work. AD- other admirably finished picture is Geets’ “Flemish Interior in the Time of Austrian Rule.” This work combines in an unusual way solidity and strength, The flesh painting 18 exquisitely tender and leaves nothing to be desired, Geets 1s a Belgian artist, well known in bis own country for his careful and conscien- tious work, His works are seldom found in the hauds of dealers, ART STUDENTS’ LEAGUE RECEPTION. Away upon the top floor of Weber’s building, in Fifth avenue, the Art students’ League hold last night its first public reception. Itwas a cheerful affair, aito- gether free from even the suspicion of pretension, and yet somewhat proud of a certain work achieved It may be woll here to say that the Art Students’ League was organized something over a year ago lo supply a want long felt by the more advanced stadents——a class where they could draw from the nude figure For a brief moment the Acad- omy had andertaken to supply this essential need; but, owlng to financial embarrassments, was obliged to suspend the class. It was then the League was formed under the dircetion of Profes- sor Wilmarth, who had been charged with the instruc- mee of the “Life Class’ in the National Academy of Designo, Notwithstanding the many difficulties in the way, the League has made good headway and has suceceded in establishing itself on a sound footing, Thore isa membership somewhere in the ueighvor- hooa of sixty, divided into three classes, morning, aiternoon and evening. Tho terms of admission are $5 a mouth, and this modest subscription enables the | League to meet all expenses, i THE BXINBITION, Last night the walls were bung round with the araw- Ings and pictures of tho siudents, aud though pot very striking, they wero — sati ry examples of students’ work, The month's drawings trom the nude were in Several instances guod, but some of — them ve one the idea that the students were going too fast, aud that by contining themselves to oftiine drawing for some ume the would reach betior resaits.

COLLEGE OARSMEN. THE WATE OF THE ROWING ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAN COLLEGES TO BE DECIDED To- DaY. The Rowing Association of American Colleges will hold a meeting in this city to-day, when the future of the Association will be determined. The Association was formed 1n 1871 and up to last year nearly all the prominent colieges in the Eastern States were enrolled as members. During 1874 the association was in a most flourishing condition and the best of feeling pre- vailed among the members. The summer of that years which brought so glorious a vietory to Columbia in the intercollegiate regatta witnessed the defeat of Yale, owing to Yale's boat coming into collision with that of the Harvard’, Belore the regatta Yale was always spoken of in the highest terms by those who had closely watched the practice work of her crew, Had that race been rowed to the finish without any fouls, it would, doubtless, have been oue of the most hotly contested races ever engaged in by an American college crew. From this period in the bistory of the College Association the interest of the members in its wellare began to grow smalier by degrees aud beautifully less, ludeed, after '74, it became a question whether or not Yale would remain in the agsociation. Through the influence of a number of Yale mea, however, it | wus flually decided that she should row in the regatta of 1875, and then, win or lose, draw out Yule did row in 1875, but, true to her resolution, fofmnaily teu- dered her resiguation alter the race, YALE AND HARVARD'S WITHDRAWAL The resignation was received by the association at the meeting last January, at which Corneil, Columbia, Princeton, Union, Hamilton, Harvard, Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Bowdoin, Amberst, Williams, Trinity and Brown colleges were represented. The action of Ya caused less comment than was expected. — 1. was re- gretied, however, on all sides that ine dark blue would no louger be among the rival colors at ine annual re- gatta, Bus the “break’? was pot toend here, for the determination “ot Yale was scarcely maue kuown ollcially, when Mr, Weld, at whe same meeting, an- nounced that Harvard, win or jose, would positively Withdraw irom the assoviation after the next race. ‘Tue regatta ot '76 Was the race reterred to, and in ail probability Harvard, if she has not dove #0 ulready, will be a6 good as her word and iollow the course pur- sued by her old rival ‘Tbe withdrawal of both i vere blow to the associa ion, did not affect it very materially. There remaived Lwelve or thirteen other colieges, two of them winners for the last three years over ail competitors, and as tuey all send crew he anuUAl Fegutia, the aay s jected tur the intercoliegiaio race, it was hoped tb the day might stilt continue to be the grand sete day of the American college oarsmen. Yalo aud Harvard have already paired off, and their annual mateh race on the Pan of the Cambridge and Oxiord coat race will in all probability awake Jittle enthusiasm outside of tbo Special partisans of the dark blue and the Magenta. A nuinver of the other New Engiand colleges" recently formed ap = association, and have chosen the New London cvurse as the water on Which to row their unnual regatta, Neither Harvard nor Yale 1 as yor enrolled in the New England Assovt- ation, though it 1s probable that they will bake 4 suure in the houors of the undertaking. “Brown, Bowdoin, Amherst, Dartmouth, Wiiliams, Trinity and Wesleyan lure or will be the controling spirits of the new assuc ation. Should they all witudraw or absent themselve from the anuual meeting there will still remain Cor- nell, Columbia, Princeton, Union and Hamiiton to preserve the association intact if they so elect, WILL THX ANSUCIATION DISSOLVE? With these tive cuileges ior a nucleus, even taking it for granted that the New England clement wishes to absent itsell—a strong association might be built up. A year or two since a uunber of colleges up- pned for admission to the association, bus owing to an imperative rule forvidding aay Low accessions their Application was rejected. The power to rescitd a reso- Jution of that Character rests with the body itsell, and AL 18 not improbable that action will be taken on the subject to-day. The material out of which good oarsmen are made is to be found in most of the col- loges throughout the country, the colleges in the West and South being especially favored in this re- spect, With the troduction of a new element from these sections of the country the old associa would not only equal but might excel its past records, LOUISIANA RACES, Nuw Oxueays, Deo, 5, 1876. This was the second day of the Louisiana Juckoy Club races.

In the pools Sweetbrier wus the favorite, selling at $50 to $35 on Reno and §3C on Staniord. Sweetbriar's competitors were no mateh for her, as sho won easily in three straight heats tw 2:31, 2:30.44, 2:29, After thu ‘ace was concluded, a match was made be- tween Pride of the sa; for $200. This so proved unfortunal cle, a8 she met with Tather au iguominious defeat in 2:45, 2:42 547 The entries in the California Oaks have elicited some discussion among the turfmen.

As they are all untried, at this diss tance the charm of uncertainty will have full sway, Mattio A. bas run three miiex, and Mote MeCarty proved herseif « capital filly a8 tar as she has gone, hever yet having met with defeat. There 1s some talk yf a two-milo beat race fora large purse, over the Oakiand Park, to be run some time alter the Oaks is deciued aud when the Eastern mares have fully recovered from the fatigues of that race. Should it be run it will, doubtless, be tho exciting race of the year. ‘A Jar greater provor- of the racehorses are titted for the shorter di ce, and there are many in Calitornia whren can x ery fast in a rave of that hint.

THE BROCK MURDER. THE DILL OF EXCEPTIONS IN THE CASK OF OSCHWALD AND BYAN TO BE PRESENTED TO- MORKOW—WHaT THE PRISONERS SAY OF THEM Case. The bill of exceptions in the ease of the Brock mur- derers has not yet been presented to Judge Depue. ‘The lawyers in the case havo just finished their work on the bill, and it will, im all probab:lity, be in the bands of the Judge to-morrow morning. ‘The papers might have been in this morning but for the fact that in scanning the transcript of the official stenographer’s notes the State’s attoruey discovered that the testimony of Fussell, a material witness for the prosecution, bad been omitted. Word was sent just night to the stenographer instructing him to transcribe the gestimouy and present it iorthwith, When the testimony is complete the papers will be handed to Judge Depue tor bis signature and seal. THE LAST OMANCE FOR Live. In the event of the Judge allowing the exceptions, an event more than probable, notice will be.servea by | the counset for defence upon the prosecutor of tho pleas of ap application to the Chancellor of the State forawrit of error, Argument will be had before the Chancellor, and after hearing all parties concerned he will, as suirs bis best judgment, grant or deny the writ, Should the writ be granted counsel can elect to go to the Supseme Court or the Court of Errors and Appeals, and the case will be retried, In New Jersey there is no ‘‘rule to show cause’” under which 1» New York qustions of fact are re- viewed. ho case of Ryan and Oschwald depends entirely upon the decision of legal points, If Judge Depue hus made no mistakes in ruling om the adinis- sion of certain evidence or in charging the jury bo writ will issue, and the law will take its course. The only method of reviewing the testimony and the matters of fact therein contained 1 the 5I f New Jersey is by the process just ex- plained, uniess the Judge trying the indictment 1s cone vinced that a verdict has been given against the weight of evidence, in which care he may interlere, WHAT THK CONDEMNKD MEN BAY, The men on whom the condemnation of the law Tests claim that the verdict im their case was clearly against the weight ot evidence. They claim that most ol the evidence advanced in favor of the prosecution was weak, aud that the discredit thrown upon the Stale’s witnesses seem to have been disregarded by the jury. A few points made by the prisoners may here be ‘cited and the reader may judge for himself if the com- pluint of the prisoners is well grounded. Officer Nicolls, for tho prosecution, swore that on tho night, orratver the morning, of the murder he passed 200 saloons, but he could only swear positively about the Hight in one of them, and that the saloon of Oschwaid & Kyan, Fussell, tho witness whose testimony 1s mis- sing from the transcript of the case, swore that he saw Osvhwald and Ryan come out of the house in which Brock was murdered; also that be could recognize the two ina crowd of 10,000; and yet when cross-examined he could not swear whether either of them bad any hair on nis tace, The that no more ordinary looking men than the prisoners couid be found in a day’s walk. There is not a peouharty of physique or style about either. Cook, another witness, who claims to have seen the postaser on the morning of the murder, sought the provcction of the court when tt was attempted to ventilate some of his previous peculiarities In accounting for his presence in the neighborhood at the time in question Lhe witness resorted to the convenience ot adjacent hallway, in which he claims ho slept during the mght, His recollection, on cross-examination, failed to reach any previous time at which he had used a ballway as a dormitory, J. 3 Blanchard, another wituess tor the Prosecution, i8 the subject Of the following story :— Ove day as the prisoners were taking their walk up and down the corridor of the juil Mr. Blanchard, at that time the occupant of a cell, called’ tho hall man, another prisoner, and asked the names of the pedestrians, Upon being told he suddenly recollected that he had been school. mate with Ryan, and between that time and the tune he appeared on the stand in court remembered that he bad planued with the prisoners the burglary of the house in which Brock was snot, The hall man swore to the conversation be had with this witness. Auother unpleasant phase of the case is found in the fact that the Chie! of Police promised a new suit of clothes to one of the witnesses, a colored man, named Cyrus Brown, Counsel tor the prisoners asked Brown if such was not the case, and Brown modified the story in this shape, The Chief asked him if the clothes he had on were his best, and receiving an allirmative reply said he would seo that he got better ones, It remains yet to be seen what caused the special interest of Mr. Mills m the personal appearance of Mr, Brown, Ryan claims that Mills, tor a long time before tho murder, persecuted him. He arrested him once on the charge of being a_ suspicious character and Ryan was bonotably acquitted. Ryan thinks that Mr. Mille is trying to make a record for himseif out of this case, rogardiess of the expense to others, Pubhe sentimen:, he says, bas done more to convict him than the evidence. He complains that the papers have misrepresented and prejudiced him with the public, Iso cla'ms that his identification was untair, tor himself and Oschwald were placed in he company of six tramps in most delapidated attire, Dut at the head of the line. Any one, be says, could have told them trom tho others by reason of their garments and position. = 5, A KENTUCKY LOTLERY RAID, Yesterday morning, Officer Ruland, of the Fifteenth precinct, acting under the orders of Captain Byrnes, of the Fifteenth precinct, entered the premises of No, 697 Broadway, occupied as a branch office of the Ken- tucky Lottery Company. The officer, who was tn citt+ zen's clothes, found the office in charge of two men, William Alton, of West Twenty-fiith street, and A. S, Bennett, of No, 33 West 109th street. He opened ne- gotiations with Alton, and asked the price of a ticket, He was told $10, Ho said that was too much to pay, and ted to kriow il he could buy a quarter ticket, He was told he could, and Bennett cut off a quarter ticket from a large coupon book. Oa rece! representing $1,000,000 and which, if sold, would resulted ina prot of $12,000 to the concern, were seized. On being arraigned before Justice Kasmiro, at the Wash. ington Police Court, both prisoners were bailed in $300 euch for trial, THE Poke MORRtS SCHEME. Last evening a number of gentlemen mot at tho resi- dence of Charles Stoughton, 165th street and Boston avenue, inthe interests of the “World’s Great Conti- nental Matl Route,” better known to the public as tho Port Morris scheme, The last meeting was held on tho 23d of November, at which many prominent gentle. men of this city and State wero present. The scheme was at that time explainod im the Heratp, The committee appointed by the meeting last evening to draft resvlutions reported favor- ably on tho scheme and their report unanimously adopted.

James Cummins on Monday entered the premises of Jobn Kelly, No. 627 First avonue, without the assist- ance of akey, aud left shortly afterward with $25 worth of wines and cigars. Officer Klinge, of tho Twenty-first preciuet, saw him with his precious cargo as he came out and kindly invited him to accompany him on a visit to Judge Wandell. Cummins not having $1,500 handy, or any friend who was willing to go bail for him to that amount, 1s now bein tenderly cared for wnacell. Asif the tate of Cummins was not a warning to all evil doers, while Kelly, the complainant, was in court, aman nated William Killeen followed Cum- mins’ example and entered Kelly’s store unnoticed, and, as be thought, unseen. The hquors he found there, however, proved too strong a temptation to be resisted, aud he got gloriously drank ere he thought of going into the street. However, belore he was able to make up his mind whether or not it was better for bita to remain and enjoy himeeit or fly to ills he knew not of a police collared him. He, ike Cummins, not finding a bail to leun upon, went below, The tw will doubtless be heard from in the Court of @ Ses#ions at no distant day, HS POOR OF NEWARK. Ovoraccr of the Poor McLorinan, of Newark, yester. day submitted wo the City Gouncil « statement show. ing that despite the increased number of indigent per- sons who arc now, in consequence of business depres- sion, dependent upon the city for atd, the cost of main- taining each family per month has been one-third less than during any previous year, His summary sets forth that in 1870 the namber of famihes relieved was 8,174; the amount expended, $22,833 58, and the aver- age cost per famtlya month, $2 81.
