Besidea, Mr. Motley's pant career and hi nupo rlor Went afford a guaranto that thu nation will be ably rcproeentod at the court whoro elective representation 1 uiont Important, and where questions of the tnont vital Internet reiualu unadjusted. The appointment of cx-Oovernor Curtln at Minister to Kusola will pleaHO the admirers of that reiitleman. Tbo admlnIntratIon U obliged ts closely connldcr tho political prominence of aspirant for diplomat lo honors, aud it cannot be denied that Curtln's poniUon and his rol.t feion to the people and thu politicians of the State are Mich as to justify his selection as the recipi ent of the highest diplomatic honors awarded to Petuwylvauia. We hope ho may find, In the honor of serving his country abroad, full com pensation for the disappointments he htm en countered in his efforts to g.ilu loading position at home, aud we bavo no doubt that ho will prove a popular and creditable Kuvoy Extra ordinary aud Minister Plenipotentiary. The new Miulator to Austria,. John Jay, of New York, is a descendant of ono of the few hlntorlc families of our country la which political kuowludgo, capacity, and in fluence is "bequeathed from sire to son." His revolutionary progenitor was one of tlio most celebrated of the early diplom:vtitri of the coun try, having served as Minister to Spain In 1779, as a Commissioner to negotlato peace with Eng land after the Revolutionary wur, and subse quently as Mhilstur to KngUnd, iu lf'Jl, when ho negotiated the celebrated Jut treaty, which, although it drew upon him a ittorm of obloquy, was' accepted by tho ruling authorities of the period as the best adjustment that could be made. A noticeable featuro of the now appoint ments is the selection of Kbnnozer D. Bassott, one of tho most intelligent colored men of this city, as Minister " Rusi deat and Consul-Oenoral to llnyti. Our relntlous with that reglou are rapidly rising in import ance, and the period may not bo very distant whea it will become an integral part of the Great Republic. At all ovonts, tho commercial iuterefiU of tho United States might bo greatly promoted by wlo diplomacy iu that quarter. All other things being oqual, there can bo little doubt taat a colored man of ability could render better service at tho seat of a Governinunt con trolled by men of his own race, ruling over a people of African descent, than a white ambas sador, . For a similar reason, wo prenumo, J. K. Way, a colored citizen of Louisiana, has been appoiuted Minister Rosident aud Consul-Qencral to Liberia; and he, too, will be more likely to awaken cordiality of fooling aud a dcslro to ad Vance American Interests on Atrlc's barnlng sands thau a white man. Kew of tho other new nilhlstors ore mon of great prominence, but they all possess fair records. John 8. Carlhdo, appointed Minister to Hwedeu, was one of the llrst Senators from West Virginia, aud galnod honorable distinction by his early and continuous opposition to seces sion. J. K. Jones, the new Minister to Belgium, was one of the most active and efficient mombors Of the Republican National Executive Committee durlig the last Presidential campaign. The appointment made yesterday embrace but a comparatively small portion of tho diplo matic Held. We presume other change will soon be made, and that while some of the Ministers whose character uud tuleuts render them ueful !a their present positions will be retained, others will soon give way to bttr min.

PnvBtiAL carefully-proparod articles have ap peared lately In tho columns of some of our con temporaries, calling the attcntjou of the Legls Lituro to tho various Inconveniences attending intermcntA within the city limits, and which ap peared to be designod to pave tho way for a grand raid on tlio Intramural burying grounds by tho gentlemen who manufacture laws and conduct a general Jobbing business at Harrlsburg. The question of abolishing the. burial of the dead within tho limits of the built-up portions of tho city is perhaps of hulllclrnt Importance to warrant a discussion at least, but we do not iMillevo that tho health of tho city or any othor consideration of public welfare demands Imme diate action on tho purt of the Legislature. The fact that many of our legislators who hnvo made themselves unpleasantly prominent during the present X-sslon by their advocacy of all manner of nefarious schemes are interested in the various cemeteries in the vicinity of Phi ladelphia, Is HUtllclent to throw Htisplelon on any hsheme to uhollxh the city burying grounds nt the present tlmo. Senator George Council, for in Htauce, Is known to have a large intercHt in Mount Moriuh Cemetery, and, consequently, If tho question of forbidding further Interments wilhiu tho city limits proper should come, up lu the LeglHhituro, rkuator Conuell would scarcely bo able to vote upon It with that perfect Impar tiality that is ulways to bo desired in matters of tills kind. Our legislators ore already ox posed to too many temptations, which, owing to the manifold frailties of poor human nature, they aro unablo to resist; und as it is an Important part of our duty to guard tho legislative morals, and keep our representatives nt Harrlsburg as near as pos sible to the straight path of duty aud strict In tegrity, wo deprecate any efforts to Introduce a burhil-ground bill tit tho present time. Compa ratively w lntenneuts are now mado in tho few old time-houored burial grounds that still remain un polluted by the hand of the spoiler, and there Is not the slightest evidence, thnt tho health of the city has suffered from them. When such Is proved to bo the case, the subject of abolishing intramural burials will receive tho attention which It deserves; but we would much prefer that Senator Council nnd other cemetery propri etors should not have the responsibility of decid ing npon the necessity and Judiciousness of such a change Imposed upon them. i JiBCOiMlSSlOXKH. Tan President last night sent to the Senate the name of Oenernl Henry H. Bingham to bo re commissioned Pofltmu-itor of Philadelphia for fonr years from the date of confirmation. This is a graceful and deserved compliment to a most faithful public otUcer. It is tho only caso iu which the new administration bos recommls sioncd for a full term an officer of tho late administration. General Bingham well merits tho compliment. Ho has boon not only a storn Republican, and Is a gentleman, but ho is pro bably the best postmaster Philadelphia has ever had. He has touched our dead posbtl system. und It has beconio alive. His removal would hove caused universal regret, aud his recoinmis slon has caused universal satisfaction. ! THE FKLEliA L J UDIVIA R Y. Tjm New York Tribune culls attention edito rially to the fact that the canvassing for tho new positions on the bench of tho United States Courts hus been inaugurated already, and enters its protest against tho consideration of tho claims of any mau who commences at this early day to seek these offices. It will be remembered that the act passed by Congress and approved by tho President confers upon the Justices of the Su preme Court the privilege of retiring upon full pay, on attaining tho ago of seventy years. Two members of the court fall within tills pro vision, aud It is regarded us certain that ouo of them at least will avail himself of tho opportu nity to seek repose In the closing days of his life. This will create a vocancy on the Supremo Bench, und as the act of Congress alwo provides for the appointment of an additional justice, President Grunt will find at his disposal at loast two of the highest judicial positions In the coun try. In addition to these, the newly-creuted circuit judgeships are to be filled, and they aro scarcely less important, und should be tendered to men of Uie most unimpeachable integrity and the most varied and thorough lngal culture. Of late years these Important considerations have not entirely guided our Presidents la selecting the men who arc to glvo weight and dignity to the jurisprudence of the country. The people will, therefore, look with great interest to the course of the new President iu tho matter, and they will expect him to Ignore the claims of any and every ambitious politician who has no higher sense of the qualifications required of a jurist than to resort to the usual disreputable method of securing oji office. If any position in the country should seek a man who Is thoroughly qualilled for the dis charge of its duties, it certainly is that of a judge of ono of our highest Fcdurul courts. Tho Jurisprudence of many of tho States has been sunk to the very lowest standard by the system of an elective Jadlclnry, whereby men who are totally unfitted for any office of responsibility have been unabled to ascend tho bench only to reflect dlhcrcdlt upon It to thu full measure of thlr par tUMin stupidity. The Federal Government has wisely tulhen-d to the old system of appolntmcut by tho Executive, with a continuance In office dtrlng life or g.HKl U huvlor. But even this safe guard may be rendered nugatory by thti machi nations of tho professional politicians. Tho )udK.; who are to reeelv,, their com missions from President Grunt will necessarily, from tho tenuro of their offices, remain upon the bench lum.(stcast!H f(,r years afto, our present Chle Magistral has retired from hU exalted portion. If any of theso hould provo to bo notoriously audited for lb.. Impartial ,.d inlol llgcut discharge of Judlcl.il duties, thy will bo come standing reproaches of u,0 administration by whom they were clothed with the crmlnoi and unless they should commit some grossly overt act, the avowed purpose of President Grant to make a second trial whenever ho has been led Into error In appointing persons to office cannot be carried into effect. Kvory con sideration, therefore, demands that only tho purest and ablest men In tho country should be intrusted with judicial functions. As such uiuu seldom or never seek office, it will be entirely safe for the President to put a summary quietus npon the claims of every applicant who comes to k Wiiite Jioutg la trtiitrch. vi u judeabjo. Tim nH ART9. 1 Bshlfclttoa m KnrW Utile ries. It the cislect.oo of pictures that Has just besn placed on exhlirtUon at Kariss1 Galleries, thore are several by Pbiiadalphla artists which are rtesorvlnn of more than the brief mention which was all we were Hi.le to jrtre In our first notice, Mr. James Hamilton exhibits two new works "The Edge of the American Fall, Nlajrara," and "ll-orm-theus." In tills representation of the groat cataract, as In his large painting on the same subject, Mr. Hamilton succeeds In giving an Idea of tho helxht, largeness, and volume of Niagara more suc cessfully, perhaps, than any other artist that tiai attempted IU Tho point or vlow Is no takon that while the top of the fall to far abovo tho head of tho loctator, the bottom Is lost In the denso cloud of mist that rolls np from tho vortex. Notwithstanding the Important qualities mentioned, the "Nlajrara" Is a very unsatisfactory work, and the same may bo said of the "Prometheus." In this the crash of tho elements, the war or water, earth, and sky, the cou- cst of Utanic forces; aro all Indicated with a certain amount of power, but tho effect to that of tho scene-painter, and the peculiar dingy grey which this arttHt seems excessively foud of Is cold, unsym pathetic, and disagreeable. Mr. Hamilton has more Imagination than almost any of our artists, but he seems to be unable to give full exprcsslou to his Ideas, and his Im-sI works are scarcely more than hint or cnlartrcd sketches, powurrul but crudo. This Is a radical defect In Hamilton's style, and while his small water-colors, drawings, and sketches aro always spirited and often adralralrfo, because they are valued simply as sketches and not as pic tures, tho samo hIuimIhnIi method Is badly adapted to larger works, where tho Immaturities or the Sketch ore cxoiorerolod by aoj, additional Inch or canvas. We do not contend Mr llnlsh as synonymous with smoothness and pn-ltlncwi; but Mr. Hamilton's pictures would lose nothing ir he would bestow moie pains In working out his Ideas, and if he would contrive to rel away from the two or three eirocta to which ho limits hlmseir, and which ho now Mm ws upon tho canvas almost mechanically. . Without the luiOKlnatlon of Hamilton, Mr. K. Morau Is a vastly more painstaking and studious artist. Mr. Hamilton has not advanced a step in tho last ten years, whllo Mr. Moron lias shown a steady Improve ment, and bis pictures are llstlniulshed by the very qualities which those of Hamilton most decidedly lack. Mr. Morau studies nature, not under one or two, but under various aspects, and while the pecu liarities of his stylo aro sufficiently marked, ho does not often full lulo mere mannerisms. "Tho Uccr of Norman's Woe," exhibited at Karles,' is a work or merit. Tho title Is not, perhaps, tlio best that could have been chosen, as It raisin tho cxpcctmiou 1 or the spe tator, while tho artist has scarcely Riven full ex pression to tho spirit or tho poem, and t he figure or tho Rlrl lashed to tho broken must to not snillclently prominent to.sl.l a great deal In enforcing the Idea. Tho title, however, was probably an after thought, aud the picture has some lino points which aro worthy or notice without, regard to tho subject. The KlimpNe or tender morning sky above tho dorlc heghts to tho left, th storm-clnud rolling away to tho right, and the eru.1 waves dashed Into foam on the rocks in tho foreground, aro all finely reired. Hamilton, Morau, and Indeed every other marine, painter tliut we are swum of, are excelled In one Im portant particular by Mr. W. T. lUchords. This artist bus not done much In tho way of marine paint, ing, but what he hHs attempted ho has done well, and he has accomplished all that he undertook to do. "After a Storm, Nantucket Island," Is hto largest and most Huccessrnl marine picture. His previous efforts in this lino have been too highly finished lor sketches, and not sufficiently , strong, in sub ject to be considered us complete pictures: we hnvo rather regarded them as careful and elaborate studies, In which the urtist endeavored to give a rtiilhml und exact transcript or a particular pbaso of nature. In all of these works Mr. Klchords succeeded wonderfully iu giving life and motion to his water. A few years ago ho exhibited sldo by side, as, we believe, his llrst attempts In this lino or art, a llery sunset scene, and a grey misty effect, botli being reminiscences or NimtuckeU In tho lat ter, especially, tlio swell of tho water, creeping up out of tho fog and swashing on the roTis, was rendered with reniurkuble skill. The spray, tho edges of some of tlio waves, and the broken water In tho foreground, were too hard and liny, but tho sensation of movo mcnt was conveyed In a manner that Indicated a cJose, careful, and Intelligent study of nature, and a thoroughly trained haud. This quality of motion Is the most, marked charac teristic In tho picture now on exhibition at Kiirles'. The horizon is hid by tho outlines or the waves tliut race ouo after tho other towards the shore; above to a stretch of Hky covered with wutery clouds, and below to a strip or sandy beach, whero tho waves roll up and then recede to bo lost in those that follow. As fur as the subject goes, there ts not much more In It than lu thoutlior marines by tho sumo artist to which ullusiou has been made; but It requires no great stretch of tho hnugiuutlon to fancy that the noise of tho angry sea can bo heard, and that the lingo wave that lifts Itself above the others against the sky will In a second more sink at our root In a long roll or loam. The sky la not altogether satis factory, the color being somewhat spotty in places, and the whole picture to rather too thinly pointed, and to wanting in toxturo; but In spite of Its durecls, which ore or but minor moment, it is a very decided success. Three smoll works by Mr. W. IL Wllleox have some points of excellence which eutltle them to ut least a passing comment. These aro "Moonrlse, thieogo Harbor," almost too smoky lu effect; and "A November Ia.v on tho Prairie," representing a flat stretch of country covered with a dense growth or gross and bushes, and overhung by dark clouds, through which the sunlight gleams, and dollnos tho distance by a line of light. The same general eff.ct is represented In tho third picture, a "View on tho Susquehanna near Columbia." Mr. (leorgo II. Wood, Jr., who appears to have almost abandoued landscape, has four small pettr subjects, which, whllo they aro scarcely equal to tho beat French and Uermuu pictures of tho sumo class, show a very decided Improvement, and aro far In advance of anything that this artist has yet pro duced. These are "The Old Tinker," "Tho Stocking Knitter." a very clever little picture; "Tho lirook," uud "The I'ottugo Door." "Tho Kngagement between tho Monitor and Mcr rlmac," by Xunthus Smith, Is ono nt the largest pic tures tliut this artist has yet produced. Mr. Smith was un eye-witness or this encounter, and ho hit given a very spirited and undoubtedly faithful repre sentation of one of lbs greatest and most inomeutous nuvul battles of the world's history. These pictures, with Mr. Hill's "Yo Semite Valley," which improves upon acquaintance; Mr. Constant Mayer's ''Hood Words;" Mr. lllerstadt's effective ami defective "Mount Vesuvius In Kruption," tho chromos und their originals, and a few American and foreign pictures or Interest, make a small but attrac tive exhibition, which hi worthy tbo attuution of all lovers of art.
