THE DAILY NEWS SATURDAY, JANUARY SO, 18*4. Thbks seems to be a good deal of commotion over a possible rlolatk.n of law In a couple of police officers announcing themselves as aandldatcs for other offices. We should Uke to see a little commotlon / over the vlolaUoa of the law for th& supposed benefit of saloons by the whole police concern. Thk sending of a sane man to a lunatic asylum, a* to reported from New York, might well direct popular attention to the use Or abuse of the Writs de lunatico inquireruio. Ik Is no stretch of fancy to call them modern Utom it raehttt. How many people to-day in this country are walled in to this living death who an as sane and clear as the sun'; Another Charles Re&de, to write another book like “Very Hard Cash,'’ is needed. About as futile proceeding as any we know of is the debate on the Fits John Porter bill. There Isn’t a man who will vote, that hasn’t made up his mind how he will vote; and a large part of the negative vote will be given on merely partisan grounds. Members “haven’t time to examine it” and will “vote with the party.” They care as little as a petty jury for the guilt or innocence of the defendant. So this long debate limply gtree demagogues a chance to pose before their “deeatricta.” The Indianapolis papers are each claiming to be the first to advocate a soldier’s monnment, The establishment of this fact to not so Important as the farming of a definite »a forth*

to direct hk vote, eald it vm ahecfoklf tl his own wfQ, and that he should vote aa he bad dona. He did, aad as soon aa ha had satisfied the legislature that he would do w ha pleased he resigned. Bon rapereerviceable supporter o/isome prominent sum recently enumerated (as ameng the qualttlee which gave him political «r popular Strength “his known devotion to onr republican form of govenmesrt.” We don’t know when we have encountered a finer specimen of the Pecksnlf flan rhetoric which “delighted in lofty sounding words without any reference to their meaning.” Devotion to a “republican form of (oreminent" would mean all a man’s life k worth in Russia, all his property is worth In Austria, a considerable limitation of favor in Germany, and would not be wholly unmeaning In Ragland. |But what It can mean here where there Is no poeslblllty of any bat a republican government, passes common comprehension. How has he shown any devotion to a republican form of government that any body else hasn’t shown too? How does any body know anything about it? What is “devotion to republican form of govara- • ment” in a atate that has never had ary other form? The encomiast might as n eil praise his known devotion to aa ovcrccit In winter and linen breeches in summer. The fact la that the writer didn’t mean anything. He wanted to round off a panegyric and stack In this empty sentence as s peil tlon winds up with “your petitioners will ever prey.” It would surprise one to note the infinite variety of these “chinking! snd daubing" sentences that are pushed into a paragraph te stop holes. The writer doesn’t mean^anythlng, and doesn't want the reader to understand anything by them. They are like a dancer’s pads. They are of no use to the lege, hut they make them look smooth.

Thb tendency of the times toward nullifying the functions of state legislatures In the election of senators, sweeping away this intermediary process, as the intermediary process of the electoral college has long been swept away in all but form, we spoke of the other day as harmful. It transfers what was Intended to be selected deliberations—consideration by those selected as repreaentatlves of the people—to the heat of popular meetings, heated, mayhap, by whisky or “standard oil." This wo believe Is harmful. The bitterness of partisanship does not, Indeed, even in a legislature, rise high enough to rebuke corruption, as It might have done, possibly, the other day at the choice of Senator-elect Payne, of Ohio. But this state of things certainly will not be Improved by a tendency which makes a state legislature a mere registering machine in the choice of a U nited States senator, Instead of the fountain-head of such choice. Harmful or not, this change seems steadily coming. The other day there was a mass meeting at Frankfort, Kentucky, wnere Mr. Blackburn’s partisans orated ami “reaolooted” and 1 demanded In the name of the people that the Kentucky legislature end Its deliberations concerning the three candidates for the United States senate whom It Is pitting against one another, and choose Mr. Blackburn. In other words we had here ft direct attempt to bulldoze the legislature by a cross-roads meeting. It would seem surely that the former was at least as capable of deliberation as the latter, and If It has “the law on Its side" as the Capulet servants who began the row In “Romeo and Juliet" were go anxious to have, its conclusion ought certainly to command the greater respect. This Is but one phase of the deteriorating tendency, as we look at it, which regards all methods duly made and provided as standing in the way like obstructions, whenever the heat of partisanship or the rascality of the individual is able to overturn them. It Is a general tendency and crops out all the way from mobs murdering murderers before the courts have a chance to hang them, to defeating justice by trivialities in hot haste se as “to telegraph it to the boys,” and waiving aside a legislature’s functions when ward workers have organized crowds large enough to make the “vox del" duly recognizable.

We still think, however, as we said the other day, that “the true cause of a soldier’s monument In Indiana k not the glorification of the originator of the project, nor Its prosecutor, hot the dead soldier.” In this spirit let the good work go on. The G. A. R. will soon step to the froot aad, under the lead «nUp of the eld soldiers, the people, we believe, will gladly follow to the consumma- , Mon of the work tv to highly probable that Senator Mahons «-n't heed the request of the Virginia legIriatnre t® resign—hat there was a time when* YlrgMta senator would resign at, t at not In obedtooeo tQ' ^ request of bar legislature.

CURRENT COMMENT. The Journal thinks (but we do not) that Mr. Charles M. Walker, chief clerk of the poatoffice department. Is the sender of the. Washington special dispatches announcing in advance how much confidence the depart ment has In “Colonel” French, which indeed, If tpoken by authority, does, as the Jours&l has said, brand the proposed investigation as a farce. It would he simply an official certificate that “Colonel” French’s course, which, be what It may, has left him without a single friend outside of those whom he has made his favorites, hits been such as to win the approval of the authorilles. In that case, the clerks have nothing to do but submit to “the Insolence of office” or resign. But If there Is any intention te shield “Coloner’ French by this Investigation the public ought to know it. We have refrained from harboring any such belief, but we suggest to the gentlemen who will be impauneled as a ‘jury in this case,that the Washington dispatches alluded to create lor them a difficult task. We suggest to them also that clerks may be easily intimidated by the remembrance of wives and families to support, from givirg evidence against the “Colonel,” who, if he should be acquitted, would probably lie retained in his present place as a sign of ' vindication” and given opportunity to make life a burden to those who have been against him. His prosecuting witnesses can not meet him ou equal terms. They are at a disadvantage. Bow would a proposition to draw outs strike the Kentucky lefdslature?--(>.:iacinnui Enquirer. Wouldn’t the method used In the Ohio legislature be more effective? A St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter hired out as a “super" on the occasion of Irving’s recent appearance there, and reported a column and a half of “sights behind the scenes,” “how Irving makes up,” etc. If this Isn’t petty larceny, it certainly isn’t high art. An eastern advertising firm It is said recently sent seventeen tons of almanacs through the postolfice. At two cents per pound these are worth about *700. That would have done a good deal of advertising la newspapers. The Buffalo Express wants the government when it prohibits French wines to prohibit bills of fare printed in French. But then If wines were prohibited perhaps It would be possible to read the bills of fare. An Icicle, nearly four feet in length, bangs from the center of MeComb’s dam bridge, near New York. That dots pretty well for nature, but what could au ice machine do in that wuy? Mr. Hurd has directed attention to the “Irony of protection Is-a” as exhibited in Its opposite attitudes toward Germany, and Mexico. On one hand, protectionists clamor for retaliatory measures against a nation that establishes a “protective’’ embargo upon American pork; on the other, the same protectionists clamor for the maiutenance of a like embargo by this nation against Mexican sugar.—{Chicago Times.

KMW YORK LETTER. rum ▼■■•artn* Callawy—Rfcoee Who Visit It. wart What they Wear—The Inevit-

able Drama.

iCorrespondence at Tbs laflaatpon* New*.] Nbw York. January 24.—Whoever writes to William H, Vanderbilt s request to see his pictures gets In answer, without delay, a neatly printed card of admission, bearing the millionaire’s autograph, and the statement that It will be good for fonr adults on any Thursday afternoon In this mouth or next. Directiona are also given to enter by the mansion’s side street doorway. I found this pertal exceedingly handsome, despite its plainness u compared with the mala one around on Fifth avenue. Outer doors of solid and ornamental bronze, by being swung back, formed the sides of the vestibule, the celling and floor of which were composed of bits of colored stone in intricate mosaic. A pressure of my finger on a tiny button doubtless rang a bell by electricity, though the quickness with which a man servant came out suggested that the wire was attached to his heels. He was a flunkey of the English pattern, except that his livery did not Include knee-breeches. Fe wore a swallowtail coat and common-shape pantaloons, the cloth of both being maroon in color, while his vest was white ducking striped with black. The door which he opened to me was one of a pair remarkable for settings of .tained glass, He*took my ticket and put away my bat and overcoat In a small sideroom. I passed at once into the picture galleries. There are two of them, adjoining, and each Is something like fifty by sercatyfive feet in floor area, with a height equal to two or three stories of an ordinary house. The upper two thirds of the wail space presents surfaces of carved wood, embossed leather, and devices worked out in rnetal, and pottery. The hues of these are dark, the effects massive, and various curtained openings impart a look like the architecture of traditional baronial halls. These draperies are taken away on occasions of entertainment, so as to give views of the galleries from the adjacent Higher floors. On the lower portion of the sides hang s hundred sad sixty nine paintings. I had heard that most of the people who went ostensibly to view them were really Intent on satisfying their curiosity as to Vanderbilt’# house, and that they had to be restrained by rude measures from intruding upon the privacy of the family. About two hundred vis-tors were present during the afternoon which I spent there, and I did not detect one Instance of prying audacity. No doubt many of them would have liked to go through the entire establishment, hut I saw nobody try the doors leading into other rooms, though that may have been because their common sense told them that bolts forbade Ingress. They made attentive snd apparently critical examination of the pictures, and altogether 1 never gaw a more politely behaved assemblage. Nobody knew how many of the seeming guests were really watchmen, to protect tne treasures fr*.n wanton Injury; but no railings kept us off, and there were absolutely no restraints to the complete enjoyment of the show. Whatever may be the technical judgment of artists as to the merit.s of the collection, It Is certain that no other in America is more pleasing to persons of merely general culture—those who may be styled amateurs in good taste. The pictures are all modern, and chiefly French; the names of the painters Include every artist of foreign contemporary fame; the subjects are almost always attractive to a lover of decent beauty, there ‘being no examples of horror or repulsiventes and only two nude “figures,” and the evidence is clear that Vanderbilt had tne distinct purpose, in making his purchuscs, of gelling pleasant art objects rather t han merely fine ones. For Instance, his Turner is not a ridiculous spattering of coirs. but a partially cle>rand measurably jtetfected view of a mystic valley full of lounging persons, the title being ‘The F- ui.tain of Indolence;” his detallle has to b • n war piece, of course, but there Is no death or carnage In it; Ills Aima Tadetna lacks grotesqueneas > and his Bougucreau I- a woman “On the Way to the Bath," not after she has disrobed there. Therefore, I declare him to be an intelligent buyer of pictures. It has been rumored that he Is the victim of forgers, some of hls paintings are copies Instead of the originals which they purport to he. He came into the gallery for a few minutes, and chatting la an offhand way with acquaintances and others, I tot k occasion to talk with dm on the subject of the extensive, frauc. lately discover-

ed in Parisian art trallic.

“There’s a big rascally business done iu that line in Paris,” he said, “and I don’t know that any who deals with the merchants can ever be sure that hls pictures are what they pretend to be. America seems a good ways oil to those fellows, and once a bogus painting has been sent across the Atlantic, they naturally feel pretty safe about it. There are two kinds of the swindles—copies of original masterpieces by more or less clever forgers, and entirely new pictures by unknown men, on whoso work the names of celebrities are put. In the first instance, the poor devils of unsuccessful artists work In collusion with unprincipled dealers; In the second, the dealer operates alone, and scoops In all the profits. He buys up pictures from the small studios cheap, sorts out the best of them, and attaches the names of such celebrated painters as the style comes nearest to. W T hen tlio forgeries have got upon the walls of an American house there is no further danger, because the owner, even If his suspicions are aroused doesn’t like exposing the counterfeit, or his greenness. 1 bad a letter from a friend in Paris, the other day, saying that there was a plan on foot for an official stamping of gtemne pictures—sotnething like the Hall murk on sterling silver ware In England.

It would be a good thing.”

"And yeur own pictures, Mr. Vanderbilt— have you any reason to feel doubtful as to

any of them?” I asked.

“Not the Slightest,” was the reply. “Near-

ly every one was personally purchased by me from the artist himself. No; there isn’t a bogus picture in my collection—depend on Whether Vanderbilt got the worth of his money iu his pictures is a question which their genuineness does not completely answer. The prices paid by him are extravagant, when It is considered that the pictures are by living artists. He does not give the aggregate cost of bis collection, but the sum can not bo less than three millions. In an inconspicuous corner is a portrait of himself. The canvas is only ten inches by thirteen. The likeness is excellent. The plentiful small wrluKles in the rich man’s late are shown with fidelity, the crowsfeot around the little, twinkling eyes are all there in mmature, and there is iu no respect the slightest idealization of the coarse features. It is the w ork of the highly fashionable Mcisfonler. How much do you suppose w us pcid for it? Twentv thousand dollars.

And no fivLteiy thrown in at that;

'1 he. women who were gazing at Vanderbilt’s pictures wore exceptionally good clothes, and I had at command a competent intertrefer of the fashions which they displayed.

“You will phase observe,” said my in-

formsnt, “that most of the ladies are in street dresses somewhat elaborated—that Is, a medium between ordinary walking costumes and pretentious reception toilets. A good many of these persons came In carriages, as you might have seen by the number of vehicles at the door; but I can pick out those who rode here from those who walked by the differences In dress. The former are pre; ty sure to put on something— a corsage bouquet, a bunch of bright ribbon, or a fanciful wrap—to bear witness to the fact that they came under the cover of a carriages, because on foot such adjuncts would attract too much attention. Features of the dresses, which a man might readily overlook are the rich embroideries and brocades inserted Inconspicuously amongst the plain materials—like pieces of rare mosaic. An entire robe of such stuff would he glaringly gay, but patches are In good taste—and quite costly, too. Look at that small section of variegated hues set Into front of the tall blonde’s skirt. It is a marvel of delicate needlework ln.beads. Go closer, and Inspect it. O, she won’t mind a little audacity in that Rue, for she Is as proud of U as Vanderbilt Is of hls best Carol. Twenty feet off you would llkel? take It for a clipping from some curtain calico, you are so lamentably ignorant; but in fact it Is the most minute embroidery. It is more Uke jewelry than fabric, and as costly as though made of precious stones. You’ll tell She truth If you write that the season’s fashions are In excellent taste, except when wilfully preverted by women who, from Ignorance or a desire to force attention, exagger ate the prescribed stylea. The bonnets here, you’ll note, are mostly small—what we call cartes. The flaring hat of the Gatnesborough type, to no longer worn In good society. Yon can also see that very handsome wraps, odd la shapes rather than In colors, > f quite elaborated brocaded material or trimmed w It h fur, are a part of this winter’s

Ust wear.”

My teacher furtl er Infor nee me that this gathering represent* da h gher average of good art In dress than sue nad seen anywhere of late. She told me to look critically at the next fashionable theatre audience that I got Into, and mark the element of pffeurive Inndnrsa <*< a»t|r tneveRiugor two ’ater I was at Wallack's, w tore Us new play “DteepUon,” diu u. t so o.upletely en•rs oie as to prevent the obeerva<l >u as Im ted.

Boadcanlt has been unsuccessful la hls comedy ventures here during the past ten years with oat exception. He firmly believes that the newspaper critics are down on him, that their condemnation to the reealt of spite growing out of his hot retorts upon their strictures, sad that they would net under any circumstances do him justice. He is all wrong about that, but not the less settled in hls conviction. Well, in arrangtog with Wallack to bring out “Deception,” he stipulated that the authorship should be kept | a secret until after the rewapaper verdict I had been pronounced. Although he was In town daring the rehearsals, he stayed away from the theater,and hls secret was guarded. Well, the play was bad, and the critics said so w ith perfect Impartial ity. Boucicault w ill not come forward as a glorious and vindi-

cated claimant.

Deception continues to have its home In the Buwery. The mock auction Is in dally operation at 386. On my last visit I counted nine men as open aad plgeonsteoling employes, and 1 wondered how tne enterprise could possibly be remuDera .T ■ under so much expense. The slowness and difficulty of swindling was Illustrated in my presence. The stock consist**.! of nearly worthless watches, jewelry and kindred wares. The auctioneer was glib and loud.and the pretended buyers were going carefully through all the motions. A woman entered. She was ycung and neat, but plain of face, and ordinary iu clothes. What she looked like was a thriving mechanic's wife or daughter. The entire force of the establishment was brought to bear upon her. She was tried wl:h watcheqthen with breastpins, and finally with knives, forks and spoons. The cappers let her hear them talk of the dirt cheapness of the things, and made their show of purchases with exceeding eagerness. During fifteen laborious minutes the proceedings were entirely devoted to her ueepoilment. She placidly gazed about the store, and at Its inmates, out did not open her mouth to bid. Falling to fool her by the ordinary processes, the despairing auctioneer resorted to the forlorn hope of boldly knocking a castor down to her. “Gone ts yeu, madam,” he said “at two dollars.

“0. I didn't bid,” she responded. ‘‘Don’t tnlM it—It's cheap,” said a stool-

A I.onesom© Manor Fund. [Washington special.] John R. Irwin, who waa appointed governor of Idaho territory in March last, surprised the treasury officials here by returning his salary for the first quarter he was In office. It was such an unusaal thing the treasury officials did not know what to do with it. The opinion of the second controller was asked about It, and he decided that the only way the treasury depatrment could get out of the difficulty was to replace the returned salary to the credit af the conscience fund. When Governor Irwin heard of this he got very mad, and wrote the treasury department that he had accepted the position as governor for the honor Involved. and as he Intended to return all hls salary he wanted an “honorable fund” started to which all such money could bo added. The opinion of the attorney general has been asked whether such a fund can be started. As there are no indlcati >n« that any other official will return hls sal yit Is not likely to grow very large. This is the first case of the kind In the history of the goyernment where an official has refu. d to accept hls salary. A Ghost in Jutl. [Clcveinnl specinl.] CoL Howells, who is in jail in Canton under indictment for grand larcency, has been confined to the same cell where George McMillan, the wife-murderer who was hanged la-'t July, was confined. The other night the turnkey was startled bv shrieks and cries coming from the cell. Hurrying to the cell he found Howells lying prone upon the floor. “Take me away!” he walled as soon as he saw the official. “For God’s sake take me out of here; I saw a ghost! I was wide awake and was sitting on my bed. I thought there waa something in the room with me. ami I looked around and saw It, right there hy the door. It was a man hanging there In the air with a rope about hls neck and his head drooped over to one side. I was scared, so I gave a yell, and it disappeared.” Howells's description accords exactly to the man who was hanged. The Crested Butte Explosion, llptolast night the bodies of thirty-four of the victims of the explosion In the Crested Butte, Col., coal mine, bad been recovered, it is known'tbere were fifty nine in all. A new danger was discovered last night. It seems that one of the orea: Izatlons of Molly Maguites exists there. Tbiough some mean's mine boss John Gibson appears to have earned the.enmity of these men, and last night threats were made against hls life. The trouble does not appear to be because of blame laid to him regarding the accident of Thursday morning, but rather au old grudge, and the Mollies appeared to think the present occasion presented a good opportunity for getting even. However, no attempts at violence, so far, were made. The more timid ones fear trouble to night. The Terrible Infant.
