"A Magnificent Conception, Wonderfully carried out." The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of ourjrreat artists, has always been reco nized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which so invariable followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the inditrerence of the American people to the claims of hiirh art. So soon as a proper appreciation of the want and an ability to meet it were shown, the public at once ralied with en thusiasm to its support, and the result was a trreat artistic and commercial triumph TJ IF".

A reccent number of the New York Tribune says that Attorney-General Williams has done more than all the rest of the Cabinent combined to make Grant's administration odious, lie has been the instrument of all the -worst schemes by which the South has been robbed of the right of self-government and the passions and perils of the war have been re vived for partisan advantage. It was he who concocted with Packard, Ca sey, and Durell the plot for the for cible seating of Kellogg in the Gov ernorship of Louisiana; and when the investigation of that shameful affair was taken up by Congress, the Attorney-General, as Kellogg's cap tured correspondence revealed, was the most active agent and counsel of the usurpers. The wicked campaign of Hester, Beach, Hays and Ileal y in Alabama was conducted under his personal direction. Tlio operations of Major Merrill were guided by his instructions. It was he who distort ed the Enforcement and K uKlux acts to vulgar electioneering pitr poscs, and made the United States Government during a few months of last year one of the worst despotisms ever maintained under constitutional forms. The result of his prostitution of the law to personal and party ends was to bring the Administration into discredit all over the world, and de stroy the confidence of the entire peo2le in the integrity of his depart ment. It is the gravest misfortune for a country when the citizens learn to distrust the chief officer of justice, and an instinctive popular concious ness of the mischief Avhich Mr. Wil liams was doing was one of the prin cipal causes of the demoralization of the Itopublicau party. The Attorney-General probably persuaded himself that in all of these measures he did no more than his duty. He is a man of narrow mind and low conceptions, and lie looked upon his office from a purely partisan point of view. He regarded himself not as the legal and constitutional adviser of the President so much as an attorney engaged for political work. He took no responsibility for the soundness of his opinion, or the justice of his client's cause, and we must presume that he cared very little for his professional reputation The President gave orders, and the Attorney-General made it his busi ness to devise some way of reconcil ing them with the statutes. He asked no questions and obtruded no coun sel. If he had been instructed to apply the Ku-Klux act to New York and Connecticut or to seat Piuchback in the Senate under the provisions of the Civil llights bill, he would have tried his best to obey. Ho might have professed his devotion to the President as Pistol proclaimed his loyalty to the King: "I kiss his dirty shoe, and from heart- string I love thee lovely bully." He has been a faithful but damaging friend; a stanch but dangerous sup porter. Gen. Grant has so long exacted and received the sort of unreasoning service rendered by Mr. Williams that we cannot anticipate from this change in the Cabinet any important change in the Federal policy. The new Attorney-General will probably be expected to follow in the foot steps of his predecessor. There are quite a number of more or less learn ed lawyers ready to undertake the work, and the President will no doubt hnd one suited to his mind. How the Press Stands on Grant ism. The reform sentiment of the coun try is at present undoubtedly stron ger than any time since the war. This fact is shown from time to time in a variety of ways, but perhaps as well as anywhere in the condition of the press of this city. Whatever else may be said of the press here, no one ever denied but it represents the public opinion of the most im portant city in the Union very fairly. Xow it is a singular fact that there is not now one daily newspaper of any importance published in New York, of a political character, which can be called a regular Republican paper. To select the typical New York papers the papers which we mean when we speak of the New York press is easy enough. They are Herald, Tribune, Time, World and Sun, and of the evening parsers the Post. You may search the col umns of these papers for a good many days vithout finding anythinj but the most open opposition to the party in power, or else the most pre functory expressions of loyalty to it, tempered by the most active criticism of the particular acts to which the party from time to time commits itself. It is only a few years, how ever, since , the hostile Tribune the luke-warm Times, and the critical Post were all strenuous expounders of the Republican faith. A". Y. Cor. Pall Mall Gazette. The spelling schools that are spreading all over Ohio are said to have demonstrated the, fact that a woman can spell five times better than a man. How the Women Organized. From the Detroit Free Tress. It is a sad thing to see ten or twelve women get together and attempt to organize a "society to aid the deserv ing poor." They tried in Ninth ave nue the other afternoon, after having talked up tho matter for three or four weeks. Thirteen or fourteen of them met by appointment, and after some skirmishing one of tho number called the meeting to" order and said that the flrst duty would bo to elect a President. A sharp-faced woman got up and said that she didn't want the position but if it was tho wish of the meeting that she should take it, why, she would. There was a painful pause, and a fat woman arose and raid that she had had considerable experience with such societies, and she thought she could render greater personal aid if made President. There was anoth er painful pause, and a little woman rose up and squeaked: "I move to lay the subject on tho table!" The other women looked at her in a freezing way, and it was suggested that a ballot be taken. All readily agreed to this, and ballots were pro pared and a bonnet passed around. When tho votes were counted it was found that each woman had put in at least one for herself and three of them had put in two or three. The President pro tern looked very grave as she stood up and remarked: "Ladies, I trust that this error may not occur again." It did, however, or at least each one cast a vote for herself, but on the third ballot a choice was made and the lucky woman took her seat, smoothed out tho folds of her dress and remarked: "The next tiling in order is the the next tiling!" A woman with a wart on her nose then made a speech, saying that she had been treasurer of several similar associations, and that if it was the wish of the convention she would accept the office. It didn't seem to be the wish, however. "I move to adjourn!" solemnly ex claimed a woman with a large back comb. "The motion is not in order," re plied a woman across the room. "Am I in the chair or are you?"' demanded the President. "I move to reconsider the motion!" squeaked the littlo woman. "I support the question!" put in the fat woman. The President wiped her specta cles, rapped on the stovepipe and replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is no motion before the house, and the question to adjourn is out of order." "Not much!" exclaimed a woman nearly six feet high, drawing herself up. I've seen more meetings of this kind than the President ever heard of, and I know that an order to ad journ is always in motion!" "So is your tongue!" said someone on tho lounge, and tho President knocked on tho stovepipe and said: "The chair believes she knows her business as well as any woman wear ing plated jewelry, or as well as if she had a wart on her nose! Wo will now proceed to elect a Secretary and Treasurer. How shall they be elect ed ?" "Yiver voicer!" cried one. "I motion by ballot!" added a sec ond. "Py exclamation!" shouted a third. "You mean by acclamation ," ex plained tho President, looking at the last speaker. "I don't wear an Alaska diamond," was the reply, "but I know as much as some folks that do!" "Less 'journ!" shouted a female who was born in 1810. "I move the previous motion," put in the fat woman. "Will some one nominate a candi date ?" asked tho President. A painful silence ensued. The fall of a hair-pin would have sounded like a crow-bar falling over into a stove-boiler. Each hoped to have some one nominate her, and all, therefore breathed hard and kept silence. "I nominate Mrs. ," finally said the President, seeing there was a dead lock. "You can't nominate and put the motion too!" squeaked an old lady with beau-catchers. "I order the previous motion," said a woman with a red shawl. "And I'm going hum!" added the fat woman. "Soam I!" "Soaral!" "Soam I!" And they stalked out, leaving the President tying up her left shoo and her eyes Hashing wild-cats. And all this is why Detroit hasn't another "society to aid the deserving poor." CoxxrniAT, Feticity ix Washington-. Mrs. Williams is regarded by many as the handsomest lady in the Cabinet, being tall and stately, with most remarkable physique. She chats as pleasantly of her house, her maid, the weather, tho opera, as though only her own family were present. In telling me that she had gained forty pounds in weight dur ing the last year, she added with a merry laugh, "Though I do not like being so stout, it does not trouble me except when the Judge tells me, 'I wish I had a nice little wife.'" The Judge and Mrs. Williams ap pear to be perfectly devoted to each other, showing great regard for each other's opinion, in conversation, looking each to the other with a kind of satisfaction and pride that is very pleasant to see among married folks, when the first romance of wedded life and the honeymoon have passed.

He had been in the habit of taking three or four "nips" per day for the last fifteen years, but on New Year's morning he arose and said to his wife: "Mary Jane Shiner, here I've been squandering at least a dollar per week for more than a dozen years!" "15ut I thought you said a glass now and then aided your digestion," she replied. "All fudge and nonsense," ho con tinued; "that was only an excuse to satisfy my own conscience." "And I've heard 3-011 say that it made you sleep better helped you to have a clear head," she said. "Nonsense worst kind of bosh! I've drank up $800 in the last dozen years, and it hasn't benefited me one cent." "Well!" "Well, I'm going to quit. I'm going to commence now. No more drinks for Shiner after this!" "Good boy noble husband," she said patting him on the chin; "now you begin to talk like a Roman now you are going to test your stamina!" Shiner felt puffed up with pride for an hour or two, and then began to feel a goodness along down his throat, lie drank water, cold coffee and milk, and got through with tho day; although ho went to bed he dreamed ho was a flask of brandy and that a member of Congress was carrying him in his coat-tail pocket. At midnight lie awoke with 'his thumb in his month, just on the point of taking a ten cent drink, and at daylight he inquired of his wife whether it was the year 1S75 or 1S7(J. That forenoon, while in his of fice, a meek looking stranger entered and took a paper from his pocket, and said that he was soliciting aid for the Kansas grasshopper sufferers. "Grasshoppers he hanged!" ex claimed Shiner. "The next fraud who comes in here will get his neck broken!" His chief clerk spoke to him about ordering some goods, and he whirled around and said he wouldn't order another dollar's worth of goods for ten years. A young man called to secure a place, and Shiner threw the coal-stove shaker and hit him on the ear. When he went to dinner he flatter ed himself a little that he had suc ceeded in curbing his inclination to drink, and his wife patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "Samuel, you have got morcstam ina than the Czar of Russia!" Going down town again he entered a saloon ami asked the saloon-keeper if ho hone.stlv thought that a mod erate amount of brandy would affect the health. The saloon-keeper was sure it wouldn t. I he bottle looked good to Shiner, and there was a pleasant smell as he leaned over the bar. When he reached his oHico he kicked a ch.iir over, hoisted a spit toon across tho room, and sat down and dated a letter 1S77. A lady call ed to have him subscribe something for a new Sunday-school, and he bristled up and yelled: "No sir, not a red! Sunday-schools are killing the busines interests of the country!" After about an hour ho went out and asked a doctor if three drinks of gin per day would hurt any one. The doctor thought not, if they were light drinks. Returning to the of fice. Shiner 5i tinted up an old brandy ! bottle and sat and held it for a long time, and wondered how they were made, and then threw it in the coal box and went out on the street, and asked a life insurance agent if two or three drinks a day would hurt a man. "Of course they wouldn't," replied the agent. Going homo to supper, Shiner asked three more men, and they all replied "no." When ho reached home he said the biscuits wern't fit for cannibals, gave the girl warning to leave, and called his wife's brother, who was there on a visit, a humpbacked, willful liar. When Shiner went down in town in the evening ho asked three more doctors if a little brandy was hurtful. Then he went into a saloon and ask ed for some pop. Ho was a good while in drinking it, and then ho asked to look at the label on a bran dy bottle. When ho had read it he looked to see if the cork Avas in very tight, and asked the saloon-keeper if lie thought brandy would hurt any one. When Shiner reached home that night he threw his wallet at his wife tofd the hired girl she might stop there 5,000 years, begged his wife's brother's pardon, and as ho turned a hand spring in tho parlor, he broke, out with: "So farewell, my Mary Ann, You must do tho best you can." Shiner was tight. M. Quad. The Avekagk Ex-Congressmax. The New York Times, in accounting for the large number of office-seekers among the retiring Congressmen, says: "To an average ex-Congressman, life among his constituents is simply intolerable. He is no longer the magnate of his district to whom flock suitors, hat in hand, and eager for favors. With human fickleness, his old admirers turn their faces to ward the new representative; they are no longer his constituents, of whom he spoke proudly when he ad dressed the nation through the col umns of the Congressional Recoril, and another man supplies them pub lic documents and garden seeds. He would like to be "let down easy." if he must return to the dullness of his own place." There is a couple at Syracuse, New York, who have thirteen chil dren, the eldest of whom is ten years old. Six pair of twins among the number, and all thirteen girls. Hard drinking chewing ice. How the Money Goes. There are only sixty-four marshals in the different States and Territories of tho United States, including the district of Columbia. Yet by collu sion with corrupt carpet-baggers in and out of Congress, and Judges ap pointed by their influence, these marshals have contrived to obtain from the Treasury an amount of money that seems astounding, when measured by their service and duties. According to the report of tho Attorney-General, therfollowing sums are charged to the marshals for the last three years. 1S72 Paid toIT. P. Marshals 2,C"d,7sO r,fi 1ST:'. Paid to IT. S. Marshals , ITJ.tWUj 13 1ST! Paid to U. -S. Marshals iVCl.-Wl IS Three years.... SG.TfVi.TSG S7 Averae per year ?2,'Jt5,L(J2 211 These enormous expenditures rep resent the annual interest on more than $4.1,000,000 of principal at 5 per cent. It may therefore be said that this amount of public debt has been created to support these marshals, for appropriations have been as reg ularly made from the Treasury for that object as for the interest oa the standing National debt or pensions. The exposures already made in Ar kansas, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, and other Southern States, prove conclusively that the greater part of these millions was stolen and squandered by collusion between the marshals, judges and commissioners, under protection of the President, who appointed and retained them in office, with a full knowledge of the frauds and forgeries which they had perpetrated. It is wholly impossible that such systematized robbery could have gone on year after year, until these vast proportions have been readied, without the connivance of the Attorney-General and tho accounting offi cers of the Treasury. The fabricated vouchers and fiagrant violations of law are so palpable, that nothing like scrutiny is needed to detect them. They were ordered to bo passed in this form, and a share of the spoils was paid for the influence which gave the command. Not a finger has been lifted to stop this plunder. Right in the teeth of all the dcvelopements, Mr. Garfield and his associates in Congress voted more than three millions of dollars at the last session, ostensibly in the name of the Judiciary, but really to continue the profligacy by which the marshals and their confederates will be able to divide two and a quarter millions among them next year. The cost of all this rascality falls mainly upon tho people of theNorth. The South has been crushed down, spoliated and impoverished to such a degree that she is not able to bear her just proportion of the general burdens. So that tho carpet-baggers have not only eaten up the substance of these Southern communities, but they have inflicted an enormous debt upon tho North, the interest of which is paid in the form of annual appro priations for a ring of thieves. And 111 order to make sure 01 a sufficient revenuo to maintain this iniquitous system, the Republicans laid new taxes in the last Congress to tho extent of thirty-five or forty millions of dollars. While every branch of business is depressed, tens of thousands of laborers anxious to work are idle, imports are falling oil' and stagnation in trade is universal, tho Treasury is robbed to support rogues in office, whose only recom mendation is that they are friends of the President and third-termers. Demagogues are now stumping the State of Connecticut in favor of candidates who sustain these outrages and justify all the excesses of the Administration. They seek to revive the bad passions of the Avar, and flaunt the bloody shirt before the eyes of a people whoso prosperity has been materially damaged by sec tional strife and partisan agitation. How to Calculate Interest What it will Do. and Tho following rules are so simple and so true according to all business usage, that every banker, broker, merchant or clerk should post tli'em up for reference. There being no such thing as a fraction in it, there is scarcely any liability to error or mistake. By no other arithmetical process can the desired information be obtained by so few figures: Six per cent. Multiply any given number of dollars by tho number of days of interest desired; separate the right hand figure and divide by six; the result is the true interest for such number of days at six per cent. Light per cent. Multiply any giv en amount for the number of days upon which it is desired to ascertain the interest, and divide by forty-five. and the result will be the interest of such sum for tho time required, at eight per cent. hat it will do. If a mechanic or clerk saves only 2 cents a day, from the time he is twenty-one until ue is threescore and ten, tho aggre gate, with interest, will amount to 2,'JOO; and a daily saving of '21 H cents reaches tho important sum of 850,000. A six-pence saved daily will provide a sum of $7,000 suffi cient to purchase a good farm. There are few employes who cannot save daily, by abstaining from the use of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc., twice or ten times the six-cent piece. Every person should provide for old age, and a man in business who can save a dollar a day will eventually find himself possessed of over $100,000. A country youth who desired to know how to become rich, sent a quarter in answer to an advertise ment, and received tho following val uable receipe: "Id crease your re ceipts and decrease your expendi tures. Work 18 hours a day, and live on hash and oatmeal gruel." II adieal Ext ra valance. No wonder the tax-burdened peo ple of the land are arriving at tho conclusion that there must bo a change in the management of public affairs or tho country will be ruin od. One of the latest instances of Radical extravagance brought to our attention, as in the case of tho burial expenses of Charles Sumner. Comment upon it is needless; it speaks for itself. Tho statement of facts is due to the Boston correspon dent of the Sacramento Record-Union and reads as follows: One of the most popular topics of conversation lately has been the ex penditures in receiving and entomb ing the remains of Chas. Sumner by a committee of the last Legislature. " A few days ago an enterprising reporter got sight of the State Auditor's books and copied the items of the commit tee's bill, which amounted to more than $20,000. These items were print ed and forthwith arose a great scan dal. One item was $1,000 paid Geo. William Curtis for delivering a eulo gy on Sumner. Another was a like amount paid William Howell Reed for "editing" a memorial volume; $200 paid a professor of elocution for selecting a poem, etc. etc. Somo of Curtis' friends at once wrote to inquire if it was true that he had re ceived $1,000 for his eulogy. Here plied that tho committee had offered it to him and ho had emphatically refused it. This put the committee in the attitude of having pocketed the amount and forced them to ox plain. They said that on Mr. Cur-0 tis' refusal of tho $1,000 they order ed a bust of Mr. Sumner to cost that amount, which they intended to pre sent to him. intending the gift as a surprise. Tho editorial labor for which $1 ,000 was paid would have been fairly remunerated by $100; and the payment of $200 to a person for reciting a short poem was simply ridiculous. The public is naturally indignant at such extravagant ex penditure at the funeral of a man who was simplicity itself. The com mittee do not attempt to defend their action; though one of them J. B. Smith tho colored caterer, and Sum ner's close friend, writes a funny let ter to the papers, saying that ho believes the committee have been charged with extravagance, and pro ceeds to say that "Mr. Sumner had no faults to hide; but we asked Geo. William Curtis to uncover him, which he did as no other man could. To be great we must be honest and just." Not a word does he say about the expenditures of the committee. The best people among us are hearti ly ashamed of the matter. "5 o e Pinchbaek on the lYar-Path. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. A political mine has been laid in Louisiana, and Mr. Pinchbacic, with stern determination marked upon his sable brow, is grimly standing near, match in hand, ready to touch it off when the fatal moment arrives. Mr. Piuchback learned while in Wash ington, according to his own confes sion, that tho shining lights of tho Republican liarty loved him not as a man and Senator, but as a voter. He suspects that several Republican statesmen would have voted against him merely to relieve themselves of the embarrassment of asking a "cul led pusson" to dinner. Grant wants him out of tho way to make room for Casey. Kellogg wants him out of the way in order that ho himself may step down and out of thcthorny Gubernatorial seat into tho. primrose path of Senatorial existence. Sad experience has taught Mr. Pinchback that his doll is stuffed with sawdust. He is tired of life'and disgusted with its hollow mockeries. lie is ready to go anywhere, and anywhere out of the world, provided he can take a crowd of his enemies and rivals with him. In this state of revengeful de spondency he has about concluded to teli all ho knows and then "bust tho whole concern." Spurning tho ignoble office of Postmaster with a guaranteed tenure for the remainder of the second term, and a promise of holding through the third term, if it comes to ihat, he has his lighted match, and is crowding his victims upon the mine. Soon, in the words of the celebrated poet who enlivens our river column, and like the appre hensive passengers of the Handy, they will Gral) tho rail, And all look at each other, As if to say, "If she blows up We'll go to well, together. A dispatch from Montgomery, Al abama, May 5th, says: J. S. Perrin, late Radical member of the Legisla ture from Wilcox county, testified as follows before the committee now in vestigating tho means by which Spencer secured his f lection to tho United States Senate: Troops wero retained in Alabama before the elec tion on a requisition by myself and others, it having been understood that Spencer had arranged for troops to be put at the disposal of tlio reve nue officers. Where intimidation was necessary these troops, accompanied by United States Marshals, who had fictitious warrants with citizens' names prominently displayed, and shown to persons who would inform them, were paraded and in various counties. I shot a hole in my hat, and reported I had been attacked by Ku-Klux, and I sent troops to arrest niy mythical assailants. I kept tho troops as long as I could use them as a political machine. Our purpose was to secure tho Legislatnre at all hazards, and elect Spencer. A number of witnesses testify to the same effect. Tilton expects to keep on lectur ing after tho trial is over, and is ar-rannn- with the Americau literary bureau" of New York for an extended tour, nest reason. . . . .
