Dvti A. Naoi.e, State Senator from tho second Philadelphia district, riled at his homo in that city, on Monday i last, iu the 40th year of hh age. He had j been a member of the Senate for a number ' of years, and was highly respected by his follow Senators for tho many excellent ! qu.ili ies ho possessed. Mr. Nugle was the only Democratic Senator from Philadel phia, and enjoyed the confidence of the Jiis last fall against the men who bavo popV, not only of hi. own distiict, but'of beon Rtcaliug timber in Montana, and is tho eutkocity. dctormiiifd to put nn end to it. At this i inteifurenco on the part of tho Secretary L4Sr WEEK the Republicans of Heaver i that puro patriot and statesman, James G. county,or ratherof 'lhe,,Stato of Hearer," J 151 line, lias taken mortal offense, and in tho home of Quay and Rutan, two of the ! tho Senate last week mado a bitter and bead chiefs of the Cameron clan, elected ! abusive personal attack on Mr. Schurz for their delegates to tho Sta:e convention and j the course be has boen pursuing. The unanimously instructed them to vote for j people will, however, commend the Secie llenry M. Iloyt for Governor. This is tie tary in his crusade against these timber beginning of the end ; it simplifies tnaiteis thieves in Montana, and elsewhere, in their wonderfully and may be regarded as ex- ! raids on tho public domain, and will deem press notire by the son of Simon Cameron ! it a happy escape for the country that the to Grow, Wckersham, llawlo, Lawrence, Cmciimati convention buried Hlair.e and ... ...i.. ... f ... .., i,v Wn '"8 ,.",,e-3 of 11,0 Presidency beyond resur- grasping at n shadow, and that the namo of the next Republican caud'ulate for Gov ernor is Hcwry M.. llovt, of LuzuMie cuuu- I The Supreme Court of Louisiana, on Monday last, decided tho appeal, taken by Thomas ('. Anderson from li is conviction before JudjjH Whitaker, in favor of said Andeisoti, and directed hiui to bo dis charged from piison. Tho icason given by tho CoUt t for its decision is that tho f irgdry for w hich Anderson was indicted c iis:sted in altering what is known under the eluctiou laws or Louisiana, ah "a con eolidated stalemcnt" of tho rctuvus of Vernon paiish, and not the "oiigiual 10 turns" itself, a:.d thfit such a paper is not pnscejtiblo of foigcry. Tho decision of the Court is baswd purely on technical grounds, atifl docs not decide tho quest ion of Audci son's real guilt. Thi- action of tho Coutt flisposes of the prosecutions ngainst Weils and Lis two nogio dnpos, Cassanavo and Kenner, and affords thtm a ihoi t road out of tha wilderness. Although this refiulL will be a surprise to tho country, it is the solemn decision of the highest Court in the Siato is final and conclusive, nii-l etiti'led to th.s bamo respect as an opinion of tho Supieine Court of our own State in an appeal from the proceedings of an inferior tribunal. M:i. Sr.N(t, a member of the House from Red foid county, introduced a bill Ust week rnakitig it a misdemeanor to furnish to bacco, either for chewing or smoking, by sale, gilt, or otherwise, to any minor under tho age of eighteen. Mr. Spaug's inten tions .tie no doubt good, but tho method by which he proposes to carry them into effect is radically and conspicuously wrong. His law would be just as inoperative as an act prohibiting the sale to bojs under tho ago of eighteen of oysters or ice cream. Its practical ctTcct, instead of banishing the use of tobacco by Illinois, wnnM be an inducement to both smoke ai;d chew by boys who are not addicted to either habit. KIt is human nature that such would bo the outcome tf Mr. Spang'a rcToi m. Neither be nor ary other living man can fiame a bill which will prevent the use of tobacco by boys who are fatally bent on having it, any more than they can draw up an iron-clad statute which will prevent men from drink ing whiskey if they wish to do so. Such legislation as Spang's tobacco bill always defeats itself, and if he succeeds in his pur pose the result, right nt his own home as everywheie else, will cause him to stand amazed at his stupendous lolly. If the Republicans cf C amnion county feci a just pride in John Ri ooks, thoir elo quent representative in the Legislature, the Democrat of tho Fourth Philadelphia district bnve an equal right to point w ith admiration to their member, James J. Monsghan. It is pleasant to know that in tho Keystone State eloquence and states manship have each still a home the one amidst the pine forests of Cameron county and the other in "Rill McMuilnnV' im mortal Fourth ward, Philadelphia, so long bonored by tho residence therein of (he irre pressible Sam Josephs. Last week Mona glian introduced a bill in the House au thorizing tho Governor to appoint a com mission, to consist of throe persons who have served full terms as Judges of the Fupreme Court, or any Court of Common , crooked and that lie would rob the treasury Picas, at a compensation of f 1,000 jeryear, J with unwashed hands. lie is strongly us and to bold their rffices for four years, to pected of having know ingly permitted HuL inquire into the constitutionality of all lilte ' lard, the embezzling member from Dela- alout to be prcentcd to the Legislature.

I Wn Lave never been an admirer of Cal Scliurz since he fust tok an active part iti j the political contests of litis country, but j from our knowledge of his career as a j Senator of the United States, ar.d as Secre- j tary of the Interior, we believe him to be : iuipci vions to the attacks of the political ' ilL'rr.ngoiiics and l ine thieves who are con stun; ly abusing and denouncing him. II is bold and eloquent denunciations in the ! Senate of the lawless acts of Grant, and : the coi nipt ions of his administration, aro not forgotten, and will always redound to his credit, fho Interior Department, f which lie is now the head, is a very dif ficult one successfully to administer, for the reason that it affords a wider field for plun der on tlio part of those employed in Bomo of its numerous divisions than any o!her braticli of the public service When Co- l'"11 Delano, of Ohio, was its Secretary, unf,er Grant' comiption ran riot through a11 it8 departments and became a reproach to ,he country. Ever since Schurz took ciiaico of it he has wnzed war against plundeiing and dishonest officials, and on that account has bocn tho object of their i .... .. ib.- i persistent and venomous attacks. St up- . - it ( pit.g government land of its valuable tun- bet in some of the Territories and in several ot tho States, Florida and Louisiana es pecially, by a class of men known as tim ber thieves, has been carried on with im punity for sovei al years, and many persons have amassed laige fortunes at the busi ness. Mr. Schuiz began vigorous opcra- rccliou. "It looks," says the Pittsburgh Foul, "as If tho ling could lay their hands on a Democrat iu tho Legislature whenever it was absolutely necessary to the success of any of their schemes." Two humiliating instances of the truth of the Foul's remark are furnished in tho passage of the Phila delphia Recorder bill by the House through the treachery of eight Democratic mem bers from that city, and tho passage, on yesterday week, by the Senate of tho bill creating tboTofiico of Rank Commissioner, to which Hartranft intends nominating Wni. H. Hart, now cashier of the treasury, and the same man who lan against CV1. Xoyes for State Treasurer. Ou ihe final passage of the bill it received tventy ix votes just tho requisite number under tho new constitution, twenty 6ix being a ma jority of the Senate. Of these twenty-six votes, tttcnty fice were Republican, the re maining vote, a:i ! tho ono that did tho mischief, having been given by a Demo cratic Senator (Dussey) from Yoik. With out Russey's vote in its favor tho bill wnuld have been defeated, and could only have beeu brought again beforo tho Senate by a motion to reconsider. It is desirable that all the infamy attaching to these two jobs should rest upon the Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and that uono uf tho responsibility should rest upon the Denvcratic minority. Paity treason like that of the eight Philadelphia membcis in tho House, so soon to bo followed by that of Russey in the Senate, is supremely dis graceful, and a base betrayal of all Deiuo ciatiovplcdges iu favor of legislation only in tho interests of tho people To see an honest purpose thus thwarted by a man claiming to Lo a Democrat, and represent ing so sterling a Democratic county as old Vok, is enough to stir a fever iu the blood of age, and if her betrayed Demociacy don't make it red hot for Russey they will prove- itcieant to the highest demands of duty. Oscar F. Gaines, Sergeant-at-Arms of the llouso at Harrisburg, has been de tected in an attempt to plunder the State treasury iu a way that was ceitaiu sooner or later to lead to his exposuie. There aro two cases of contested elections from Schuylkill county pending in the House, and witnesses from that county were sub pruned by Gaines to appear before tho com mi t too and testify. In one of the cases he charged for seven witnesses thirty-tiro days each, and for ten witnesses fourteen days each the whole bill amounting to 17-10.00. In the other case he charges for ticelre witnesses thirty tico days each, and for ix witnesses eighteen days each tho whole amount being $875.69. It was as certained just in time to prevent the fiaud from succeeding, that more than one-half tif the witnesses charged for in the fii6t case do not live in the contested district that othc'.s were not subpecntd at all, and that only three attended over two days. The same may substantially be said of the witnesses iu the other case. Upon the dis covery of the fraud a cotumitteo of the House was appointed to investigate it, and if their report don't beautifully whitewash Gaines we are greatly mistaken.

Mr. Potts is a Dem ocrat, but is very acceptable to leading Re publicans there, and this fact led both Senators IJiirnsido and Conover to vote for him, and he was confirmed by a small majority, several Republican Senators be- ing-abscnt, which has caused a verv loud compiaiot by the Republicans at the ha- bitual absence from the executive sessions of several Senatois, which gives tho Dem- ocrats control too often. MR. KATF.9 TAKF.S comfort from tho lcsuli in ihe late New Hamsbiro election, in so far that the Republican piauorm, as lie contends, endorses his t .

The stories told of his cruelties to the unfoituuate inmates of the Peniten tiary by those who witnessed them excel even the atrocities exposed ou the part of keepers in the New Jersey Statu Prison, and are without parallel in the hh-tory of prison horrors iu this countrv. The divorce cuses in New York aver age about two a day. Most of them ate disagreeable in deUil, and present a de cidedly unpUasatit phase of modern do. n.estic life.
