POLITICAL" NOTICES'.
.FIFTEENTH WARD.-
The undersigned protest against the nomination
(ti Dr. Wm. W. Burnell as the candidate of the jlepubli
can party of this ward for the Select Connell: -
Because; 1st": During this whole progress of the war
against rebellion be was in active co-operation with the
Democratic party, by whom he was elected by the City
Councils a director of Girard College; a member of the
Chicago Convention". and a trustee of the City Gas
Works, In which latter position he was remarkable for
the bitterness with which he Pursued those in the employ
of the Truitt who were loyal to t he Govenunent.
2. Because, as a member of the Chicagcrtionvention,'
after the 'war-against , rebellion- bad been; la- progress
more 'than four years. he voted "that the war was a
failure; that the Administration 'of Lincoln was op-,
posed to public liberty and private rightand that justice,
humanity, liberty, and the - public welfare `
.'den:tended a.
2. Because, although Dr. Burnell came to this country
after he had reached manhood, he has already held pub
lic office during nearly the whole time since his natu-,
ralization Of indeed he be a naturalized citizen), while
there aro thousands, of citizens quite as intelligent and
deserving., of confidence: who havea never held public
4. Because his nomination is an Insult to the memory
of they honored deady who gave their lives to save the
country from the control of his late political friends.and
to the living heroes who carry scars received in defence.
of the ling of the 'Union.
5. Because we believe au overwhelming majority of
Republican 'voters of the Ward will reject his , nomina
tion as one nut fit to tre made. _

A New Phase An Cuban Alfa Our

the Republic.
WASHINGTON, June 10.—Itis unden 'itc
here that the question has already been raised
in regard to Cuba, whether, since the virtual
deposition of General Duke „by; the" Spaitisli
volunteers, there be any Colonial Government
which our Consular agents there, or au=
tborities here, can bold official
Spanish Minister here Is knoWn'tebs `Very
much troubled about the turn of affairs,
lispiner being only the creature ,of a molf,-;it
is deemed eittestionahl eat thco Depa.rtsciiite;d:
any issue is made, whether he should be reeog,
.mzed. , The Cuhan,agentsartknot-slovy to take
advantage of this,cas Will be seen at 'au-early;
day. They are urgent in pressing upon prom:
inent persons here that no Governmenk now,
exists in Cuba but that of the Republic. , -This
ascertained from other sources than the Cu
bans that the Republicans estimate that they
have obtained recruits .in the. United States;
Mexico and the South American Republics,
to the number of 5,000 men in all, and that
they have been furnished experienced
officers, from the United States aloueouffi elent
to command , the entire number,' from 'the
-colonel—teethe-subaltern; and also that the aid
thus derived from the countries named is slight
compared with the q , z-istanee furnialted'in the
line of subsistence, clothing, ammunition, and
arms. So great is the activity of the Cubans
now in this, country, and, so confident are they
of speedy, success, that no elitists are now
made to furnish, special information, as was
formerly the case, to those in th's city who
have been active in support of their, cause.—

POMP., PIAZZA DI BPAGNA,I7I,II May, mai.=
In one of my first letters this winter' to the
'DuLL'ETtm,-Inientioned the society - established
in Rome for the're-conduCtinginto' the'kio:of
the old A,cqua Marcia ? , The, President of this
society is the Duke de Salviati. A -report bas
been made this spring of the state of:the.
Works,Which report has been sent to Me .-
Thi
voltinie . of watel possessed by the society
is twice as,much as Rome now has,and itmust
be remembered that Romp is the bestwatered
city in the world. The works of the' Society
begin atthe sources, which 'aredinown by the
ancient names ;Fens thirtius and Coruleus, in
the territory of Arson, between Tivoli and
Lubiaco. The length of the aqueduct iii 52,960
metres, of which 26,000 are of Masonry and
,16,1,00 are in iron pipes,l3,ooo metres of tunnels
have been pierced in calcareous rocks.. The
temperature of the Aequa Marcia at itg source.
is 8 deg:2o min. centigr,-but it. will arrive - at
Rome at a tempey ore of 13 deg.,which ie time
best for the use.. of man._
The principal fountain of this ANualeircia
will be opposite the Church of St. Maria tiegli
Ange ' atthe head of the new boulevard de
Merod near the railroad depot, or ifastts of
Diocletian. This fountain will probably be
composed of a single jet of water, its volume
equal to that which pours out of the fountain
of Trevi ; it will spring to an elevation .of 29
metres, in the centre of a large circular basin
of 30 metres in diameter. As the Acqua
Marcia will arrive in the city at the height of
80 metres above sea level, every house on the
Pincia n can beim water even at its very highest
story. This Acqua March was considere.d. by
the Romans the best of the fourteen spring;
that watered old Rome.
Before leaving this subject of fountainsi
will give 3 on a short description of Miss Steb
bins's beautiful one, which is 'to 'be in the
Central Park in lievv York—part of which is
now at Munich, nearV , completed, and the
support or base,baS :just left Borne to be - cut
and cast in Atheriea.
The design of this chaste;, and, beautiful
fountain is - entirely original ' It iStaken from
the Scripture story of
,the. Pool, ,of Bethesda,,
St. John's bevel, sth chapter, 2(.1,'3d and. 4th
Verse:4, and 'is singi.thilY well adaPteii for a
fountain in a great_ pubic park.
The treatment of the idea is thus :—The chief
Sgure—an angel, eight feet in height,-alights
upoh ainmost seeinSto - tio'vei over a mass of
rock which . cceupi. Abe . _ centre of the upper
basin. This angel has eforward and down
ward movement; inifie left hand is the lily,
emblem of Purity; 'the'rig;ht hand is extended
in the act of , blessingthe troubled waters. The
water will :play in naturailjets or falls from
every part of the •rock, - .and be broken into
mist or spray as .it, pours over the lip of the
upper basin. This upper basin is ten feet in
diameter, and is shaped like those in the Piazza
of St.yetes, here in,Botae- 77 the most beautiful
fountain basin ever designed. r
The support of tlie' tipper basin is a column,
with amass of, - roO sand - .water plants at its
base; around thesestand in various action four
smaller Sgles, Which represent the qualities
of water— emperance, Purity,.. Health and
Content:a:tent.' '
This group stands in the centre of a large
lower basin, octagonal in shape,' 18 feet 7 in
ches in diameter, and is the-part that has gone
lately to America; it is to be made of granite
or blue stone, with bronze ornaments, or en
tirely of bronze, according to the decision of
those who have charge of the erection of the
fountain.
The chief figure;as I said above, is now at
, _
Munich, being east wader the direction of
Herr von Miller, at : the Royal Bronze
Bonndry.
.The whole height of Miss Stebbins's Foun
tain will be thirty feet from the walllevel i and
it is'to stand in the space which lies between
the terrace of the New York Central Park
and the lake where the ground basin is al
ready., , •
The other day, when I was in Miss Steb
bins's studio (with some friends—Philadel
phians
,
by the way, were these friends: Mrs.
James Boylan and her two beautiful daughters
—I noticed 'with adiihration some studies made
by bliss Stebbins for the Central Park at the
request of the managers: four statues of the
Seasons, which the managers hope some dine
to place on the pedestals designed for them in
front of the terrace. ...
Also,studies for the gateways of the Croton
Reservoir. The one for the
,receixing gate
represents the Nymph of the River, with her
attendant' spirits of wood'and water, putting
aside the rushes in older to give 'the water
freely to, the city. The one on the distributing
gate at the opposite side represents the city,
crowned, and bearing the emblems of com
mercial sovereignty, seated between her two
livers, the North and East.
Mr. Sully Barley, while in Rome; ordered a
'bust of Miss Cushman of Miss Stebbins, ono
like that which Miss Stebbins designed for the
Music Hall at Boston, a description of which,
nd-its-beantlful-eniblematie—lnacket n l-haV
- already given you in a preceding letter.
On Saturday, , at 4 o'clock in the afternoon—
and kbeautifel bright one it Was--the gigantic
cohmin ,of „African; marble which was dis
covered at the old Roman Emporium or Mar
morate, on the left bank of the Tiber, was ,
carried across the river, to the right shore. A
-
great crowd "assisted," as the French say,and
added their;help in the form of immense ap
plause. The column was transported by a
vessel from Civita Vecehia.' It is to be raised
by' nre : iirs of iils £o the "snniSriit of ' the' Jani
culurn, directly in'frent of the church of St.
Pietro, in Montorio.
This superb column is 27 feet high, 1$ feet
and a half in diameter i and weighs 34 tons. Olt
lie summit, is to be a.bronze statue of St. Peter,
in the attitude of Messing the city, which -lies
spread out beforehim at the foot of the Jani
,
culum. , The , ,base will be fornwd of rive
colossal bronze stathe,s, rhpresenting 'the: five
parts.of the world.
This mysterious inonolitligiVes rise to'num

early part of this winter,' and bear& the Con
sular date of Vespasian and Titus Cwsar, Con--

h'ineteen r centuries has this African moiio

`and • tiow, strange to say, it ivill bt. raised for

covered at this old Boman Emporium' on' the
Tiber, nineteen blocks Of marhle: The., last,
Which it LIS , ,of antique
yellow, the largess a'nti: finest among all that
have been taken out bf these wonderful exca-
The discoveries of fine marbles at,this Tiber
Emporium, and the, excavations at Ostia, are
-the most interesting subjects in Rome. They
bring us face.' to face with the 'past. The
Searches at Ostia, of which Baron Visconti
also, has the directien, are taking place
in the field of Cybele, where around
'the Methroon several forms of Syrian
and Eastern worship were peimitte'd..
It was in this field that the Venus 'Urania,
with the attributes of, a Farm, and the statue
of Atys, were found in February last. Both
are now in the museum of the Lateran, in the
division called Ho Ostienze. Two heads, one
of Trajan and the other of Vespasian,-were
also found, in the first week of March, near
the same place. The Roman government
have granted to Mr. Filippo Costa, an engi
neer, the right of constructing a i rallroad from
Rome to Ostia, as well as the re-opening of
the port of Fiume, in the canal of Ostia. ,As
Ostia is only fifteen miles from Rome, this
will bring ;us very near to the old Roman sea
port of Ancus Martins.
' The various works in the city, are going on
ripidlir. St. Thomas's Church has its fine grey
columns set, and the Scotch College restcora
lions are almost finished. From the' upper
'galleries of the College there is a fine view of
St.Feter's. The loggia in the Library is sup 7
ported by marble ,cohimns, and can 'be Seen
from the Quattro Fontane.

—The Academy of "Fine Arts, which has
beenengaged in selling its valuable property
on Chestnut street • for about ten years, has
lately, received a definite offer sufficiently con
siderable to merit its serious attention. A theat
rical •enterprise, we• underatand, has contem
plated the purchase of this fine centrally : placed
lot. The ground plan of.the Acadeiny's pos
sessions is irregular, being 'encroached upOn
by the two fancy shops in front, the plots
. for
which were sold many •.years ago to obtain
money for Washington Allstonfs great picture
of the "Dead Man Reviving" lithe present of
fer is acc.epted,the bargain Will be a prompt on.e,
and the institution will have to: go into lodg
ings in default of a ready-prepared kite. In
such a case, rooms would be hired for the sev
eraipurpose's demanded by the Academy . - at
the present moment—working-rooms for the
contemplated renovation of its stock of paint
ings, display rooms of SOMO kind fora part' of
its pictorial treasure and of its statuary,.and
clasS-rooms. The latter, if judiciously selected,
may afford a better opportunity for
study than do the cramped cellars of
the present •• building, and the school
may take this winter a step in advance,—
may-test its own vitality, form an experimen
tal, idea of its. wants, and calculate its demands
for the arrangement of a new building. The
schools have never been in so healthy a condi
tion as since the appointment of Prof. Schues
sele; but their activity has made the insuffici
ency of the old building painfully apparent.
The painting students are begging hard for a
suitable room to study the living model by .
daylight. When something of the kind was
undertaken last winter, the opportunity was
seized by the lady-artists with an avidity that
testified to the . need; and, in fact, the, male
Students were. excluded by the fair invasion

dation of the school may be better this winter
than before, even in temporary galleries, and
the good work of .education go on without a
chet.ir.
The Artists' Fund are maldng some changes
in their form of existence: The forced sales of
paintings contributed to keep up the treasury
were found to have a detrimental effect on the
private sales of the artists, and have been
abandoned. The galleries, in which the Fund
have maintained so neat an exhibition, are,
given up, and the furniture and effects realized
upon.. ; society will continue, in , 'a
more private way, , the.. mission of benevo
lence and . mutual aid contemplated,: at
its foundation. An album is . to be prepared
this yearias usual, for presentation to its, con
tributing members; and with a little sum, of
proceeils in handi;and, with the: sympathy of
the contributors and, the fealty of the artist
members, the good work will , be ,saved..trom

the Fund :will be thanked by unfortunates yet
