hypocritical profutvtlonrt of admiration tor thu
Presidential policy, which every boniva llopulili
caa spurned, It la juxt and fitting that now
honor should compcrutalo for this pnriwcuiloit.
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. Kllpatrlck Is

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.

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.

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.
