Gnrczhynskl mldressoil the Western Art association last night nt the Llnlngcr Rtillory. The lecturer commenced by saying that his subject would bo English contempor aneous nrt and that ho purposed moro par- Ucularly to dcnl.wlth the great nrtlstlc moves- inont InnuRurntbd by John ituskin , which liftil resulted In ) ilhfiln | ; Englfthil nt the head of artistic matters. This had not been nc- cofnpllsliecl by John Uusltln nlono , Tor tlio' groilHd halt boon'prepared for him by Bon- 'jamln ' Ilobo'rt Haydon. 1'liU nrtlst com- 'mene'eil hi * career nt ihobcfflnnlttgof the nlhotconth L'ontury , nnd It wni his peed for tune to radically ohnnpo the views of the English people In regard to nrt , Hofore his iluy the English common pcomo had re garded' ' ! ns iiutnnnly nnd mf-Mngllsh. It had been nn appi-ndago of the nrtlstoc- racy , and no one sava the aristocrats , concerned themselves with urt questions. Ilnydon changed nil this , miO ho cr.ealod in the body of the English nation a hearty lilting for nrt and a alncoro Interest Ih It. This w.w brought about by an extra ordinary olrclimstanco. Lord Elgin. travel- Ing"In Greece nnrt Turkey , conceived the ox' trnorhtnur.v Idea of despoiling the Parthenon of Its noblest sculptures , At that time the English woru very popular with the Turks , for they had succeeded In beating back the French , who hud Invaded Egypt and Pales tine under Uonaparto. When , therefore , Lord Elgin Intimated to the pashn in .com mand of tho'dlstrlct that ho would like to remove some of the stones from the ruins of Athens , ho received authority to remove all the old stones ho wanted. Armed with this authority ho proceeded to take the statues from the pod- uinoulH of the east uud West ends , the high relief sculptures from the metopes of the Frieze and the law relief carvings of the Panthenalc procession of the Colla. Ho re turned IK triumph to England with , his precious freight but was received , contrary to his expectations , with a howl of obloquy , headed by Lord Hyron and nil the poets and literary men of England. In this Juncture Ilnydon stepped forward , organized public meetings , gave lectures In which ho ex plained the values of those marbles and succeeded In creating a pubho senti ment , in favor of tholr purchase by the nation. From that tlmoTdrwind Hayden don interested himself in all publie quos- lions connected with nrt , and compelled the English government to pay more attention to art matters than had been custonmry in England. Ho insisted upon the decoration of Westminster hall and of thn nouses of parliament by frqsco paintings nnd he suc ceeded in creating In the English public n recogiiltlonof th6 value of art as nn educa tional medium. Ho also' founded 11 society of artists , a rlvnl organization to the acad emy , and instituted n lot'ery system by which ho disposed of many of the pictures of young arid promising artists In this way , both by tho' ' now association and by the steady stream of pictures which went into the homes of Englishmen of small Income , ho prepared the English nation for the teachings of John Knskln. Ho plowed the ground and Uuslcin sowed the seed. From this point the lecturer wont into an annlvsls of the Rusklnlan teacliincr , and showed that lluskin's idea was a return to the national school in opposition to' the con ventional nnd academic method .which pre vailed in England , whore art was founded upon the traditions of the great academic school of Italian masters. Hero'tlio lecturer explained the difference between the natural and academic schools , by directing the atten tion of the audlenco"to various pictuics in the Llningcc gallery. Ho pointed , out the 'Invasion of Lorraine" as n good example of naturalistic nrt , and then ho contrasted it with the magnificent picture by Guldo ileni of David with the head of Goliath , which ho claimed was an undoubted original. Ho showed that Guido had painted that very picture four times , giving the locality of each repleco. From this point , the speaker wont on to UusUin's visit to Italy , claiming that the great writer hod no doubt made up his mind before ho wont to Italy , ana know that ho would bo sure to find examples of natural nrt in the earlier pictures of the Florentine school. He demonstrated from a picture placed on an easel which has been attributed to Ghlrlnndoo ) that some of the early pictures were unquestionably based , upon Honmu art nnd that the others were * duo to the influences of tlio first Dutch school. Then ho analyzed the teaching of Kuskin and showed that , unconsciously to hlmscli , ho was laboring for-a return to the art of tlio llrst Dutch school , r.s translated by Filiplipp } uud his. son Filipino. Thpn ho took up the pro-Uapholito brotherhood - hood nud described in turn the paintings of Hulimui , Hunt and Millalr nnd the subse quent works of George Mason find Sir Fred- eriu Lolghton and of .Phillip Morris. Ho wound up by showing that as George Mr.suu and Leighton painted for ninny years in Home , it was exceedingly probable that the Hispano-Homnn school was founded upon their teachings. In the last place ho showed that the men of Grosvonor gallery school were simply reproducers of some of the early Florentines. Tlio Wnliasli Western's Condition. ST. Louis , March 11.

BECAUSE. riE WA's BOUNbED. History of tlio' Stops' vVhlbli IJcd to tli'o liiipcatihnitiiit of tlto Tlibii Governor Kor Inip'nsltVoii. Tlio ' claim of $ > i5,000 by ox-Governor Butler , of' this state , who was Impeached many years ago , is'belug commented upon'by many old citizens who still retain a recollection of the circumstances under which that offlclal was dcpWtU These who are convors'aht with the facts pronounce the demand nn Im position , Mr. Hosowntor was Interviewed on the subject nud said : "I regret very much that ox-Governor But ler In n recent speech has used my nufttu ns that of a mnn endorsing his claim for $3Q,000. I hate to bo in any way mixed up In this matter for the reason that eighteen years ago , I was one of the leaders in the legisla ture that Impeached him and intrpducoi the first resolution requesting Governor Butler to explain what had become of thu school money which ho ha'd collected from the goV- crnmont. "When the house committed on claims sent for mo to testify as to the. Impeachment trial and thq righteousness oi Butler's conviction I gave them full "particulars. The truth of history should bo vindicated and I fool It my duty now to relate the facts as they oc curred , " continued Mr. Kosowator , "Thero is uo truth whatever in Butler's olmrgo that ho was impeached on the prejudice of Doug- Ins county , because there was not any per sonal nuilico ngalnst him ou the part of nny uuin connected with the Impeachment. Sub- stnntlallv ttio facts are thuso : During the campaign of 1&70 Dr. George L. Miller charged , in the Omaha Herald , that Gov ernor Butler had stolen $17,000 of the school money wliich ho had collected from the gov ernment , nnd that ho h'ud appropriated it to his own use in building a residence at Lin coln. "This charge Butler denied most vigor ously froin the stump. Bo denounced uny man who would inako such a charge as n black-hearted liar and villain. The repub licans sustained Butler , nud ho was elected by a larger majority than that of the previous year. Ivns elected on the same ticket with him as a straight republican. When the legislature met Governor Butler omitted from his message all mention of this $17,000. Wo had gone through an exciting senatorial contest and elected n senator , and the session was about half over without n word coming from Butler in relation * o this schooLinouey charge when I understood that some of the democrats and independents were about to start an Investigation. Determining to out- flunk them Introduced n resolution myself asking the governor to explain what had be come of this school fund. Within a few min utes after this resolution had passed the house I was in the"governor's ofllco tolling Butler that I bad Introduced this resolution to avpld the making of political capital by the democrats nnd ho thanked me saying ho was glud I had done so. Then ho turned nround and exhibited a package of mortgages which I remember to have been from David Butler to David Butler and not appearing of record. The governor asked mo whotlior I would not help him legalize the matter , und I told him that I would think over it , nt the same time expressing the hope Unit ho would ox-plain the transaction to the satis faction of the house. "Within thirty minutes after this inter view the governor sent a message to the house in substance as follows : 'In response to the resolution of your honorable- body I would say that I hnvo caused to bii collected the sum of $10,831.2(1 ( from the Unltort States on the 5 per cent duo the school fund on ac count of land sales , and have placed the same to the state in the btato treasury. ' This was a stunner for me , nnd Ivas actually Uylttcd by some of .Jlip mcmbciS , as being up n tree , the g6neral. opinion being that the governor had turned in the money after the resolution had passed. The next morning I weht to tlio oflico of the state treasurer and asked Mr. Henry A. Koonig , who was then state treasurer , for permission to look ut the books. I examined them with great care from thq territorial days up to that date. The school moneys were recorded in red ink , so that I could follow the entries with * case , bui no ? 11V,8S1.20 was to be seen , and when the house met ou that day I introduced another resolution to this effect : 'Whereas , Gov ernor Butler has paid into the hands of tlio state treasurer SlU.SSl. " ! ) . nnd whereas , the reports of the auditor and state treasurer fall to exhibit any such sum credited to the state school fund , therefore be. it resolved , that the chaicoran of the committee on finances is hereby lustr'uctud to prooscd di rect to the otllcosof the auditor und treasurer und nseertain why the amount deposited by Governor Butler has not been credited in their accounts. The chairman of the committee , Mr. Thomas F. Ball , made the examination re quired and returned with a response from the auditor and treasurer'wit'iiii ' about ono hour. Mr. ICponig gave as a reason for not credit ing the amount of 810,831.20 to the school fund of the state that no such .amount had been'deposited ' with him by the governor. "This created quite n sensation and u com mittee was ut once appointed to wait upon the governor and request him to explain the discrepancy between himself and the other stuto ofllcers. Three days later an impeach ment resolution was introduced ; by Represen tative John C. Myers , and after a liot debate it was found to lack ti roe votes of carrying the house by the requisite majority. There- uuon a committee of live was elected by the house to investigate the conduct of the state ofllccrs , Including the governor , auditor nnd treasurer , and n recess of thirty days was taken by the legislature to give the committee a chance to report. "The comrnltteo met with great obstacles , " Mr. Rosewater went on ; "witnesses were spirited away nnd great dlflleulty was ex perienced in getting some of them to testify , because tha governor had ut his back the railroads , banks and other large corporate Interests , which' ho had placed under obliga tions. But the testimony collected was so overwhelmingly conclusive ns to the sys tematic corruption , of the governor nnd auditor that the report of the committee was followed immediately by an impeachment resolution , for which all but uix members of the house recorded their votes. " 1'hls Investigating' coinmltlco was not made up of the ui.umlcs of Uu'tler , on the coutr.iry Its members were iimbng the fair est and most conservative legislators. One of the committee wds Mr. Louis S. Keeil , now vieo president of the Nebraska National bank , and the lute Khun ClarK , of Cuthoun , was uiiQthor. Eleven articles of Impeach ment were presented , , the first one .charging the governor with appropriating the school money collected ut Washington , the other articles charging him with accepting or do- nmndini ; bribe * , from vurloui contractors and parties connected with the stuto govern ment. Ono of thu articles churned the gov ernor with wilfully lying to the house of representatives when It made liujulry with regard to the school fund. - " L'lio Btato. employed General Ks tab rook and Judge Wnkoloy as Its attorneys uud the governor retained T. M , Manpmtt , Jphn I. Hediclc uud Clinton Briggs for the defense. The Impeaching resolutions wcrq voted March II , 1371 , .and the final verdict was reached Juno ( I , after a protruded trial. The governor was found guilty bV three-fourths oftho ucniito , oil tUp llrst nrticlu of tmpoaeh- nient , uud his suspension from olllcu which hud taken pi act ) on the day of Impeachment , was made permanent by the decree of the court ; of hilponuhmont. That court of Impeachment \vi\n not biased , but In fact succumbed to the greatest of pressure. Qnl.V the other day I mot ono of our legislator's , Bon. Lounuor GIrard , uud wus told by him that Butler wanted mo to go before the committee and state that ho was1 Improperly convicted , but I declined , I had no enmity to the governor und liavo ; iot no\v , but tint testimony wo hud before us was con clusive of his guilt and no now ovldeuco thut Would change my mind has come to light. "Now OH to the so culled cxpungUiK of the Impeachment ; records , " continued Mr. Hosb- ' water , "that 'was a complete farce and void , There U no precedent for any such thing. How could you expunge the records and ox- Glalu why Janfes uoeamo governor of No- riiftkaf Butler did nqt , dm and ho did not resign.

There has never been nny rolnvostigaiibn of thu charges. Butler went before the legislature nnd appealed to itg nympnthy or ) "ttccount ot his family. Ho brought his wife 'ami family to Lincoln nnd begged for thojrshko that a resolution should bo adpptcd that -would toke the stignin from his name ana indirectly from theirs , nnd ns n mnttor of sympathy purely , nnd not for any other purjioso , .tlio legislature adopted the resolution ; but lne'rd never has boon any ex- putiRlnf ; done , Ifitro could not be , nnd the records of the SMfto nro ns they have been.
