Is diHcussing the great evil of legislative cor ruption, we must not forget to enumerate among its le9S obvious but more powerful causes tbe wide-spread materialism of the day. The worship of wealth was never so prevalent as now; and there seemingly never was a time when it made so little difference in the popular estimation how Wealth was obtained, llonest poverty, or even competency, is jostled aside on the street by ill-gotten affluence. Wen whose hands are polluted with bribes, and every doFlar of whose wealth rep resents an act of dishonor and moral degrada tion, bold their beads as high, and, appa rently, are treated with as much respect, as though their honesty and honor were above question. Tbe moral tone of tbe whole com munity upon tbe subject of tbe dis honest acquisition of wealth seems fatally weakened and lowered. The haste to lie rich. the dissatisfaction with the old and tedious paths to affluence, the constant examples of sudden and inordinate acquisition, the immunity from punishment enjoyed by those notoriously guilty of cor rupt practices, the general deference paid to wealth, the extravagance and luxury of living on the part of the rich all theso things are evidences of a state of society which ought to make us wonder, perhaps, not that our legis latures are as corrupt as they are, but that they are as pure as they are. There is, however, on the part of the cor rupt legislator a baseness which is peculiar. The position he occupies is a fiduciary one. He has solicited and accepted a public trust. He is bound to conduct himself in it, not for bis own private ends, but for the public good. When, therefore, he turns aside from the legitimate path of a popular representative, and is controlled in his actions by motives of personal gain when he pollutes bis hands with a bribe, he descends to a very ignomi nious depth of crime. He has outraged the rights of society far more grossly than does the ordinary thief, the burglar, or tbe coun terfeiter, ior bo has violated a most sacred trust, and has prostituted an honorable public position to the most dishonorable ends. And just here is the inconsistency of society, that while tbe thief, the burclar. and the counterfeiter are kicked out of all decent companionship, and made to feel that they have lost all standing among the virtuous and the respectable, tbe corrupt legislator, noto rious as such, apparently loses nothin" socially by bis dishonorable and debasing career. We say apparently, for there must be in every honest man's bosom a feeling of in finite contempt for tbe wretch; but to all ex ternal appearance he comes and goes among his fellow-men as much respected and honored as ever. This thing ought to be changed. Society ought to put the seal of its public disapproba tion upon such villany, and make it socially as disreputable as are the more ordinary and less guilty class of crimes. But to do this society itself must be more pure, and must cease its idolatry at the shrine of Mammon. As long as wealth atones for everything in the public eye, the root of the difficulty will re main to throw up new shoots as fast as we out down the old ones. More Peaceful News from Europe. Thb news from Europe would seem to indicate that the Luxembourg affair may, after all, be settled without resort to war. At the instance of the English Government, Prussia has agreed to a conference of the Great Powers, to be held at London on the 15th of May, to settle the Luxembourg dispute on the basis of tbe neutralization of the Grand Duchy, guaran teed by all the poweri represented at the con ereuce. Meanwhile the fortress, it is said will be dismantled. ' We shall rejoice, in the interest of humanity if this quarrel can be settled without a resort to war. A contest between Prussia and France would be exceedingly destructive of human life a consideration which kings and em perors apparently do not greatly take into uuui, uui which must ever be of weight with the philanthropist. great The Dear old Flag. General Sicklim is bound to have tbe Ameri can llag outwardly honored, even if inwardly spurned, by the Kebels of his district. At a great parade of firemen, a day or two since, in Charleston, it bad been quietly arranged that the United States llag should not be displayed whereupon General Sickles informed those in charge that their procession could not move without - the Stars and Btripes at its bead. aq iue ni'Ut, dn.lri, The flag of the South as well as lyu muuiUSl ba honored INoi th. , a f ii ' t lerruory.

Tub local journals from Kansas and Westorn Missouri are full of aooounts of the late earth quake in that quarter. Its effects in Jarring buildings, upsetting crockery, and frightening the people generally, were very manifest. A private letter from Kansas City informs us that after the first shock the people rushed from their housos and stores like bees from a hive. No damage, however, was done. It is said that in Nomaha county, Kansas there are eighty thousand acres of land that were donated by the genoral Government for the iH'nefit of the sufferers by the great earth quake at New Madrid, Missouri, many years ago. Pkatii of Mr. BKinmicT. We regret to an nounce the sudden death of Mr. A. W. Bene dict, Clerk of the Pennsylvania Legislature and one of the Secretaries of tbe Republican State Committee. Mr. Benedict was a faith ful officer and a courteous prentleman. H performed the onerous duties of Secretary of the State Committee with the utmost fidelity. He thoroughly understood the political feel! ing of the State, and has ever lent the weight of his influence to promote the success of the Republican party. In bis death we have lost an earnest worker in a common cause, and the Legislature mis ueen deprived of one of its most amiable and reliable officers. The City Pulpit. Oa our sixth page to-dav will be found the eloquent sermon on "The End of Gospel Teaching," delivered yesterday morning at the Arch Street M. E. Church, by the Rev. Thomas M. Griffith, the newly ap pointed pastor; as well as tbe afternoon dis course, by tbe Rev. John Chambers, on "The Duty of Husbands." ' The Academy of Tine Arts. To orn appreciation, there is In thequletness of a picture gallery an attractiveness that few other places powess; there is so much that is suggestive of lives passed in the calmness of peaceful studies. There, for example, hangs a little unpretending landscape: you glanoe upon it as yon pass, and probably content yourself with nome suoh observation as "Very pretty," or "A nice Utile effort," or some other half in different remark, without once thinking that he who limned tho bright-edged sumach blend Ing so gracefully with the yellow of the "golden rod," adorning the foreground, may have placed high hopes upon the success of the work you so patronizingly survey. A fond mother, or may be an affectionate sister, too proudly sanguine to anticipate failure ou the part of one whom they recard as the very embodi ment of artistic talent.gave tha work apartlng look of admiration before it was taken from the puiutii g-room to be nearly, if not quite, nega tived in the neighborhood of larger or better canvases. Vfe admit that a knowledge and a sympathy for these things cause us to think tenderly of much that we cannot conscientiously praise. Many an ardent lover of the beautiful lacks power to express in pictorial representation the thoughts that may animate his heart. Let us, then, be charitable to all, when the exeroise of thatfeelliig does not interfere, ic too great a degree, with the faithful .discharge of our duties. It is very much the fashion to afleot a fearfully satiric tone in art criticism, and if we fail In attaining tho standard of bitterness usually displayed In essays of this nature, we shall icly upon the Indulgence for this our shortcoming, that our faith in the kindly feel ing of our readers leads us to expect. An artist, when ho paints something very bad, is certainly to be commiserated, but we cannot believe that the misfortune should render him a butt and laughing stock for half-fledged witlings. There are men of vast reputation who have pro duced much that Is both weak and silly; and, reasoning from this, when we see a work that Jars against our feelings of artlstio propriety, let ns assume that in the mind of him who pro duced it may be lying dormant the genius of a Faul Veronese. On the other hand, nothing is more prejudi cial to the true interests of art than general and indiscriminate praise entering the first gal lery with catalogue In band and pencil ready to make such comments as: "No. 1 is good," "No. 2 is better," "No. 3 is sweet," and so on, until the expressions of "beautiful," "charm ing," "perfect" are exhausted, only to be re commenced and applied until the last number in the catalogue Is dismissed. This style of critique soon renders the writer thereof bank rupt, so lar as the value of his praise Is con cerned, and makes him poor indeed. In con nection with our subject, it may be remarked, as a peculiarity, that very few of the really best works of the French and English schools are imported into the United States. The Germans, as we all know, are fully represented, but how often do we see the chefs d'wuvre of such men as Gerome, Cabanel, Hebert, or Paul Baudry? Certainly, a few paintings, signed by these names, are to be seen in some collec tions, but they are generally of inferior quullty, and give no idea of the superlative merits of the authors. Again, where shall we see the compositions of Millais.Maddox, Brown, Htangfleld, or Landseer, who aie eminent in the English school of painting ? The answer Is to be fouud in the fact that the people of those- countries take too much pride in the encour agement of their artists, and pay such prices for their workB, that American dealers are debarred from the chances of obtaining them. Would that Americans were actuated by the same amour propre ! for, although we profess to be thoroughly cosmopolitan in all things con nected with art, yet even that feeling is not in compatible with the desire to see American artists encouraged and liberahy protected In their pursuits. As a proof of the poor opinion that Is gene rally entertained in France coucernlug our cul ture as a people, we may perhaps allude to the enterprise inaugurated by a well-known picture-dealer of tbe Ituede Richelieu, Paris. It appears that the members of an artists' club of that city, having a number of their early plo turt u lying in disorder around their studios, and for which they could not And purchasers, ou account ot tbe4lecided inferiority of the material, determined to send thein to America, being, as they supposed, just the articles to suit tho taste of "Messieurs les (lavages." They formed a very shabby collection when brought together, but it was leavened here and there by pictures of Barron, Diaz, Chaplane, and a hur ried sketch or two of Troycm's. The majority of the pictures were very bad, but then the Americana are au uncultivated people, and will be only too glad to have a chance of buying. 8o reasoned our French friends, but they were doonced to bitter disappointment, for after hawking them from city to city, and maklun Hhatn sales under the hammer au Immense EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA. MONDAY, number of times, the great majority of them were sold for scarocly more than the prloe of the frames. The dealer from the Rue de Riche lieu, who man need the entire affair, found that the Americans possessed more taste than he gave them credit for, and he has returned to the gay city of the Franks a wiser, If not a bet ter man. Mr. Fredericks, of New York, has placed before the Philadelphia publlo a very fine pic ture of "The Death of Tybalt," from Romeo and Juliet. It hangs in the northwest gallery or the Academy, and deserves the most careful study, and may be classed as one of the best Ameri can pictures in the exhlbliin. The rendition of the scene is Intensely dramatic, and at the same time freo from affectation. In specifying the good points of the o -reposition, we may in stance the beautiful grey tones, and the mas sive breadth of shadow in which the fore ground is plunged, admirably conveying tho sentiment of the story, while lu the far dis tance the old tower receives the blaae of rich sunlight, and gives brilliancy to the ensemble. In one word, the effoot Is rich in the extreme, No. 215 Is from the easel of James Falrman. of New York. The painter has taken for his subject a scone in "The Valley of the Andro scoggin," and we unreservedly commend the landscape as being full ol the highest order of merit. To ourselves this charming transcript of nature commends Itself for other considera tions than the superiority displayed In the manipulation. Many pleasant days have we spent in tho meadows that Mr. Falrman so ably deplculjlng In the golden sunlight of an October afternoon. We fear that our predlleo tiou for the charming couutry of which the work before us is so truly characteristic, may lead us to express ourselves with with too much enthusiasm, and, feeling this, we desist. "A View in the Alleghenles," by Sontag. Mr. Sontng may be Instanced as one most successful and fortunate in the pursuit of his profession. He commenced his career by producing two or three very pretty and pleasluir muuKuiTO, ine reception tney met with at the hands of the public have induced him to continue reproducing the same with very slight variation, A quiet grey tone mat distinguishes No. 234 is to bo admired yet we cannot help thinking tuat there is loo much conventionality In bis treatment foliage; besides this, there is a lack of naturo in his foregrounds. Dogberry tells us that "Com parlsous are odorous," and we agree wltn him Yttforouce we shall be guilty, and direct th aueuuon oi ine amateur to James Hart' "Woodland Lake," in thesouthoastgiliery, and see mo umerence between a nioreiy couveu tionai landscape and one where delicacy of senumeni is bicuded with a study of woodlaud beauty. Two small go. us, by W. T. Richards of this city, give much plousure to Judges of good palntiogand unpretending abllltyofexe cution. They bear the numbers of 132 and 148 We like the former number the best.on account or tne tenderness of the feeling evinced in the treatment of tho early morniug light. The tree trunks are exquisite In texture and effect. A "Stormy Day at Niagara," by Jas. Hamilton bears the impress of the freedom of touch und effect that essentially distinguishes Mr. Ham ilton's paintlugs. E. B. Beusell's "Wild Wue goner of the Alleghanies' l.s very striking and effective, and merits a much better place than tbe one It occupies, the action and grouping of iuengure8areexceiient. No.282,"The Sacking of Altamura" by Camarara. A large at striking picture of manifold merits, so far as vigo rous and energetic handling is conoerned. bubjects of this order, although affording ample scope for the display of fine technical power, are destined to remain unpopular. No. 210, by Mr. Jones, Is a very racy produc lion, and some extensive smiling Is Indulged in by those who examine It. There is a very faint indication of good color in the floor of the apartment where the wretched crowd of grotesque-looking creatures ure oongregated; but it Is very slight, and we mention it only in order to discharge impartially our duties as critics. An exquisite little gem, by Meyer von Bre men, is delightfully treated. The subject Is known as "Returning from Market." The greyish light In the morning sky is most beau tiful, and the sweet simplicity of the compos! tion is destined to render It an especial favorite with many. "October in the Kaatskills" Is one of McEn tee's charming autumnal landscapes. The forest trees. In their garb of crimson and cold, are cellently portrayed. In the rendering of the misty effect in the distance we recognize many qualities of fine manipulation. Mr. V. de V. Bonfield's snow scenes are very much admired. They are certainly very pleas ing In subject and style. We notice that Messrs. Fussell and T. II. Smith are well represented in the southeast gallery. If portraits had any particular attraction to call for the exercise of our criticism, we should have long before this called attention to Mr. Fagan's fine production. This artist will bo remembered for his painting of the head of Thaudcus Stevens, that received so much ad miration a few weeks ago when on exhibition at Earles' Gallery. The portrait of a "L'tdy," from this artist's studio, hangs in the southeast room, and merits attention. There are a large number of paintings on ex hibition whose Mibjeols and treatment are so very similar that it would be useless to attempt critical deKcrlpilons of each. We cannot conclude this present article with out making honorable mention of A. M. Lee's excellent portraits. This lady gives great evi dence of ability. At the time wo are now writing the dying light of day Is lading in the west, and we know that the pictures of which we speuk are losing themselves in the obscurity of twilight. No thing, then, can be more natural than that we should be inspired to imitate their example, and, without further ceremony, disappear for the present. SPECIAL NOTICES.
