THE DA II A . viiNING TKLEGHAPII PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 9, I860. .Art at the 'npltAl. Don rutt gv Allowing Bplcyeriti kn he "rl" work8 Washington. The (kttob will b appreciated by all who hare lffered while inspecting the specimens: It there is one thing more than another about this city to cause a sensitive man to howl with anguish, it is the display of -what ome benighted minds are pleased to call art. While at intervals we encounter some speoi vens that will pass, the great majority is of the sort to make one shudder, and appreciate the dread oommAnd onoe promulgated against graven images. Of these, the worse, if there an be a worse, are the prodnotion of that fiend in human shape oalled Clark Mills. He has assaulted the sacred memory of the Father of his Country in a brazen effigy, set tip be tween Washington and Georgetown. Had this thing been dag out in some of the- miaes If South America, we might aooept it as a. Inrious relio of a barbarous people. M it la. it stands a earful nightmare of a stallion be strode by a symbolical creature whose face and . flenre are as devoid of character and expres sion as a town pump. There it stauda, in its circle of stunted trees and faded grass, like the god of nglinoas, reigning over desolation d nakedness. But if the assault on the 1-ather of his Country is terrible, it softens wonderfully be, fore that made on Old Hickory in Lafayette ouare. All the political spite of a generation engendered in the bosoms of the old Whigs, condensed and ocoupied and possessed tne oul of Clark Mills wbeu he conceived his Jackson. The bitter old Whigs may rest in peace. Clark Mills has avenged their wrongs. In everlasting brass he is held up to the lauahter and ridicule of humanity. He who took the responsibility, and swore by the Eternal, as he put his military heel on the necks of his enemies, and strode on in hard ened inaifferenoe over broken banks and a Tiolated Constitution, in just retribution is held opto endless irony (uo pun) before the house he once was master of. ' ' 1 I oan understand the devilish malignity thatenaoted the brass Jackson; but I cannot understand the motive for the terrible assault made on that useful animal, the horse. Con ceive if you can, oh curious reader, innooent of Washington,". the clumsiest dray horse that ever eccentric nature put together, suffering from an aoute attack of bote, and rearing in mad agony, and you have a faint approach to Clark Mills' assault on the animal. On this insane monstrosity sits the so-called Jackson, In a pointed swallow-tail, wildly waving his hat and defying the laws of gravi tation. I once, many years since, called a lady's attention to Jackson's Impossible seat In the saddle, and she responded wittily: 'All the fitter as a representative of Old Iliokory. Did he not defy all lawsf Why not the law of gravitation? Had this won derful artist put him on a mule and had the mule kicking up, it would have been all the more happy." And now we are threatened with a national calamity, in the shape of a monument to the memory of Lincoln. My venerable friend the honorable, and, in a financial way, able friend General Spinner, has furnished me with photographic viwws of the proposed monument. I look at them and shudder. They are such things as come in after-dinner dreams, when plum-pudliugs and mince-pies deaden the stomach and stimulate the brain, until, horrible things take shape and sorely oppress the sleeper. A three-cornered, pyra midal structure towers up, made of solid granite and fairly plastered over with figures. At the base impossible horses are wildly plunging, evidently scared at the monstrosity in their rear. The impossible horses have on them impossible riders. They are supposed to be military people, sack as Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines. On the summit sits, in calm indifference to the row below, the late lamented. He sits in the position men always do when writing on a monument. I have at times writteu on the Lead of a barrel. I would not like to be per petuated in granite and bronze when writing on a barrel. I doubt whether my posterity would admire me In such a position. Linooln has had, table de nut't brought him on which to rest his parchment. As Lincoln was an angular, tali, thin, and awkward man, this effigy is a great success. It is as great a success as the statue of Linooln before the ity buildings, and that makes one shiver. It Is so like. Immediately below Lincoln sit, at three cor aers, Liberty, Juatioe, and Time. Of these old, Time seems to be In the worse way. Liberty and Justioe are doing pretty well, but Time seems to be very siok. Perhaps he don't like it. I should think he wouldn't. On the next ledge appear some twenty-five ptople carrying on a violent altercation. At least this is the condition of two sides. On the third the group seem to have recovered from their little unpleasantness, and are sit ting down to a game of old sledge or draw poker. This is a pleasanter speo aole, aud relieves one from a grave apprehension. The ledge on whioh the disputants are un happily placed being narrow, the fear comes over one that they may be knocked off aud oome to grief among the plunging horses at the base. This alarm is in some measure allayed by the fact that the figures are se curely anchored by huge bolts through the heels, and that the several ooat tails are well pinned behind with like iron bolts. If this fact could be stated iu plain English oh the monument it would be well, and give the spectators a repose the monument sadly lacks. On the step or ledge below, we have the American citizen of African descent,' in the rarious attitudes so common to that class in monuments, and seen nowhere else. I learn that the whole afliir is a job, a ort of a grand gift enterprise. That is, while the granite and bronze figure of Mr. Lincoln, aud those of Liberty, Justice, and Time, with the statues of the reconstructed, are to be paid for by general subscription, any one contributing the necessary funds an have hlmeelf anchored and pinned to the monument. I understand that Henry Ward Beecher, Bishop Simpson, Charles f Bumner, Henry Wilson, and other distin guished gentlemen have been designated. But I believe that when these sensible people ome to see the way in whioh they are to be pilloried, they will incontinently retreat more r less disordered. If there were any excellence or artisllo ability in the thing, this crowding in and eovering it over with other objects than the one to which it is dedioated would prove fatal. It would end in being a monument to uimotuiaueouB assortment of living peoDle able to pay for the exhibition. I have no wish to attack the committee that selected this design, and now glT9 it enoour agement. One of these made the best d(aase When he said that only one In a thousand had cultivated tastes, and that it would be a hun. dred years before the masses would be edu cated up to the faot that the thing was an abortion. In the meantime I add, as the members of the committee are somewhat ad vanced in years, they willhave passed away before oondign punishment can be called down upon them. They are safe. In the way of statuary, if we oould banish 21 1. Clark Mills and melt down Li works we would have left a good deal that, If we cannot be proud of, at least we need not Wb. o look at. Th'isia especially the ""f"' later works about the Senate Chamber, and in the old hall of the House. TUB WABHINUTOIf MOHCMliltT. I see that an effort is being mvle to com plete the so-oalled Washington monumeut here. I hope this will fail. The design, taken from a walking-stick stnok la a pump kin, has caused more laughter and curses than even the Lincoln monumeut. If the shaft oould be run up, not to the height originally designed, but to its just proportion, it would do; and lovers of art will be grati fied to see an appropriation made for such a purpose. This straining after originality on the part of uncultivated workers in stone and brouz-i is painful. The range of monumental design, when prescribed by good taste aud a cultivated knowledge of the art, is limited. Lm any one cpen a book devoted to this subject, and he will be astonished . to find how monuments repeat each other. We pass from obelisk t- pillar, from pillar to altar, from altar to arch, and return over the same ground. But It is monstrous for ub, possessing such world-re-cowned artists as 1'owers, Rogers, and a dozen others, to be wasting onr money, and shocking good taste, by patronizing unskilled arid pre sumptuous laborers. THE ROTUNDA. Under the beautiful dome of the Capitol one suffers the sharpest attack of disgust. The rotunda is marred by a collection of so called historical paintings that would scarcely.. pasB creditably as' a panorama in a country town. Thebbin piece?, as JUndolph ntigm tlzed Trumbull's series, are claimed to be valuable- as historical relics, and as such should be carefully removed to the Smithso nian Institute, where are to be found General Wathington'B email clothes. Certainly the scenes are poorly exeouted, and if the faces are, as claimed, a correot likeness, the worthy old patriots of the revolution must have been run in the same mould. . If from theBe we pass to the later efforts, we find in one instance only any improvement. I do cot know whether the "Embarkation of the l'i'grims" would be so charming if exhi bited by itself, or seen surrounded by other good paintings, but iu this circle of helpless mediocrity and pretentious ignoranoe, one hastens to and lingers delighted before it. The story is told with charming effect. The beauty, grace, finieh,and life are parts of the real faot, that we feel going on before us. We can find something to criticize iu the "Landing of Columbun" or the "Baptism of Pocahontas." The poor artists with feeble imaginations have no pretendingly done their wotk, and gone their ways, and we go ours with no memory of their little efforts. This cannot be said of Powell's "De Soto Discover ing the Mississippi." It makes upon us a violent assault. We cannot esoape it if we would. The coloring, grouping, and drawing make us feel for a penknife or look about for stones. The pretentious painter of historical subjeots excites the combative. We are haunted by a monstrosity. The artist sought to give us De Soto discovering the Mississippi, and he strangely leaves out De Soto and the Mississippi. We look in vain for either. In their steads we have u brevet brigadier-general in a new uniform, on a fat, sleek war horse, in a pictorial state of pawing and snorting. How the horse and rider got to the Mississippi, other than through the special in position of Providence, bothers us, unless we take the solution oHmed by the artist. The Mississippi is not there. The great faot, and the one we want, oould not get into the little mind ot the little artist. We ask for the indomitable explorer, worn out by hard usage and an unbroken wilder Bess, looking at the inland sea, sweeping down through melanoholy wilds to the Gulf. For this atrocious caricature our Govern ment paid twenty -five thousand dollars, aud, after twelve years of jeers and laughter, the same Government gives a commission to the same artist to paint another carioature, for the further sum of twenty-five thousand dollars, and this, too, with the evidence before it that the artist is W. U. Poxell, and none other. When he came here to hang about the lob bies and buttonhole members of Congress, to the f-banae and disgust of all true artists, who will starve in their studios rather than beg for patronage, he brought with him the unhappy painting now at Colnmbus, oalled "Perry's Viclory." In this Perry is omitted, as was De Soto. In place of the gallant sailor, swinging himself from the sinking vessel to the open boat, begrimed with powder and stained with blood, showing in his face only an anxiety to suatoh vlotory from the jaws of defeat, we have the "Black Avenger of the tjpan'eu Mam," iu a melodramatic attitude aud a superb uniform, defying the British lion in an open boat. My subject carries me beyond my prescribed limit. We seed here the revival of a commis sion that once existed, made up of gentlemen of taste, to serve without compensation, whose concent was necessary before a work could be accepted. A commlesion made up such gen tlemen as Mr. JoBtph Longworth of Cincin nati, Mr. Belmont ol New York, and Charles Francis Adams, would savejus money and re putation. It is hard to realize, and yet it is the fact, that it calls for as ran oh cultivation, in its way, to judge! correctly of a work of art as It does to create it. Members of Congress are not renowned in this way. But while they call in experts when required to legislate in reference to mechanics, each one feels at home in art, and will vote away the people's money for monstrosities that make cultivated people shudder.
