THE "AOE" AND T1IE LEGISLATURE. Thk Age is endeavoring to make partisan capital Out of the public indiguation which prevails against the Legislature It gravely declares that "thi universally denounced body earned its ill fame by the acts of its overwhelming radical majority." The organ of the Democracy may find it convenient to elaborate the theory that all the Democratic legislator were saints and all the Republicans sinners; but it shows little respect for the Intelligence of its roaderc, and no regard whatever for its own consistency, when it undertakes to exonerate the Democratic members, from a fair share of odium. On the 8th inst., in denouncing the Cattle bill, it said: "And yet such bills as the one we are roininentinir npon are supported by the Democrats, ami pawed by the aid of their influence and vote. ...Such action cannot be tlefenilol from a Democratic point of view, and the maimed of the parti in thin eiti are juKthi ex-riled and indignant at tlteeuiiduct of tome of tlieir reprexenta live." On the 12th iust., In commenting upon the action of the Democratic Senators, MeCnndlest and Nagle, In supporting the Broad Street Track bill, the Age said their excuse put them ''in a bad position," and that ' they should have informed themselves before voting upon it." At other times during the session it plainly iudieated thut it was by no means blind to the fact, which is palpable to everybody else, that soiuej of the ' favorites of the Democracy were quite as deep iu legislative mire as auy of their Republican associates. The public Interests would not bo promoted in the slightest degree by the substitution of a setjof ignorant or corrupt Democrats for ignorant or corrupt Republican members and Senators. What is needed le better and purer men from all the districts, without reference to their partisan complexion; and the Age is very far behind the age if it is not perfectly conscious of the fact thai quite as much necessity for reform and im provement exists in the localities controlled by its.own party as in auy which arc under the control of the Republicans. By its own confes sion, it is as desirable to find worthy successors for McC'audless and Nagle, the Democratic Sena tors of Philadelphia, as for Henszey and Conuell. It would not require a microscope of very ex traordinary powers to detect spots upon the record of the Democratic members from Phila delphia as disgraceful as those which tarnish the reputation of the Republican members of this city. It is quite as probable that the Demo crats of Bucks could flud a better Democratic representative thau McKiustry, as that the Re publicans of Tioga and Potter could select, a man superior to Strang; aud it is as likely that the Gibraltar of Democracy, Berks county, could Improve its delegation, as that a similar im provement could be effected iu Lancaster county, the stronghold of Republicanism. No good, aud possibly some harm, may be doue by a systematic adherence to the policy the Age seems now auxious to initiate. Indiscri minate denunciation of Republican members, Himply because they are Republicans, may lead to an indiscriminate support of bad men, despite their shortcomings and wrong-doings. Of thou sands of bills presented in the Legislature there are but a very small number that have any Imme diate bearing ou partisan questions, and one of the greatest evils of the times is that corrupt men of both parties combine to support iniqui tous measures prejudicial to the welfare of all honest men, aud yet manage to secure renomi nations aud re-elections by hypocritical profes sions of devotion to oue or the other of the lead ing political organizations of the country. They are careful not to tread on the corns of their partisan associates, and they ostentatiously put forward this one virtue of partisan fidelity as an ample atonement for a thousand crimes against the State. It is questionable whether the Age can help its own party by encouraging a repetition of worn-out devices. The people understand thoroughly that relief must bo sought in the nomination of better men on all sides, rather than In the substitution of corrupt Democrats for corrupt Republicans. The mischief inflicted, or good done, by action on a few prominent national topics, is but as a drop in the sea of Iniquitous private bills which are supported by bad Democrats as well as by bad Republicans. If the Democratic members of the last Legislature bad all been vigilant 'nd spotless, it would have been scarcely possible to pass a single law injurious to any portion of the State. RELEASED ON 8TMA W BAIL. Thk recent order of Mayor Fox relative to the release bv aldermen of persons charged with a felony, on ball, is oue which will be received with great satisfaction by all good citizens. It is well known that there is a connivance between cer tain lower law officers and the criminals brought before them. This is attested by the constant practice of releasing men accused even of houil ride ou btraw bail. All our leaders understand what Is meant by "straw nan. it is a surety who swears to the possession of real estate, when in reality he has nothing, and the conse quenee Is, that the accused leaves the State, and the bail becomes worthless. This practice has grown to be a great public scandal. The cases In which it occurs are not oue here aud there, but they are the rule. It Is the exception to see it mau who is uot released on just such waste paper recognizances. In taking this, or auy otiier kind of bail, the aldermen exceed their power. They have no authority to bail felonies, It rests with the Judges of the Supreme Court aud the Court of Common Pleas, or with the Re voi der or Mayor. Mayor Fox lias issued au order directing the pollce officers not to release auy one iu their custody on ball taken by aldermen ibiih carrvlne out the Intention oi the statute, a materially aiding the cause of justice. To wliit extent straw kail 1ms been taken, and by ,,,;mici'. we will again advert here V MlOTi v-" - - -J utter.

He denounced what is called the comiuur- -l.il liberty of France as being as much of a Urei as the political liberty nominally accorded the people. A scene of wild excitement ensued, and ut one time it was thonsrht the session would be brokeu up. The uproar wus finally appeased but the circumstance cannot but remind , the august occupant of the Tuilerles that his posl- tlia 1? f nytui"s kul comjortii!;!? oat;. ' LEGISLATION ITT NEW YORK. The New Tork Legislature appears to bono better thnn the "Forty Thieves" whose depre dation in this State have Just been terminated. The Tribune abruptly asks: "How much Is a Republican Legislature going to vote out of the public treasury for the support of the corrupt party that rules and plunders this city, And for Its use at the next eloctlon?" It then pro ceeds in a vein which leads the reader to believe that the writer will not be disappointed if the Legislature does its very worst, and winds up in this ntyle: "We arc going to see whether the plunder of the city Is to go on, and whether a Republican Legislature will openly pander to the shameless ring. If you do, your constituents shall know it." The direct cause of this outburst is the action of the Senate Committee ou Municipal Affairs, in cutting down the estimates of the City Controller for the expenses of New York. The annual tax levy for the city is required, by a provision of the State Constitution, to be sub mitted to the Legislature for approval before it can be enforced. For this reason, as the Tribune nnd the Citizens' Association justly argue, the Republican Legislature is directly responsible to the people for every dollar of needless expendi ture. Certain estimates of th4 City Controller, aggregating about HjTOfyOOO, have been cut down by the Senate committee about &5.1S.O0O. while the Citizens' Association, of which Peter Cooper is President, publishes a statement, which the Tribune endorses, showing how a re duction of 2,r!K),000 Is possible. It is curious to glance at somo of the rival es timates. If there are any institutions in New York city lu which corruption is more prevalent than in its other institutions, they are the different corporations for supplying the people with gas. The City Controller estimates the amount w hich these cormorants must receive for lighting the city for one year at $1,053,205. The Senate Committee cannot see how a reduction of this enormous sum by a single dollar is possible; but the Citizens' Association regards $700,000 as amply sufficient. The City Controller thinks $450,000 will be necessary for the laying of addi tional water pipes, and the Senate Committee does not regard this sum as extravagant; but the Citizens' Association expresses the opinion that 100,000 will be quite enough. Tho City Con troller thinks that the Clerk of the Common Council will need itio.OOO for "contingencies," but the Citizens' Association regards $500 as sufficient. The City Controller estimates that 230,000 will bo needed for salaries In the finance Department, but the Citi zens' Association is of the opinion that $110,000 will suffice for this purpose. These are fair samples, taken at random from the list. Whether the Legislature of New York, which is Republican in both branches, and in the lower house by a large majority, will lend Its aid to the scandalously corrupt Democratic govern ment of New York city, tocnable Tammany Hall to squander needlessly over two millions of the people's money, remains to be seen. CRIMINAL LAWYERS A CURSE. Wk. esteem any community which contains a number of exceedingly able criminal lawyers to be singularly unfortunate. We do not mean to say that any lawyer who practises in the Quarter Sessions is per se a public nuisance or a pub lic injury, but if there is known to exist a law yer who is noted either for his legal acutcness or sympathetic eloquence, and by these qualities to be able to get an accused man declared innocent, that fact is a serious injury to the safety of the community. It requires but a moment's reflec tion to see that this view of the case is correct. A man is hesitating before he commits some great crime, some murder, for instance, ana is weighing the consequences which will follow. He looks first and foremost ut the risk of punishmcut. It is notorious that the moral power of the conscience is not the principal check put on crime. It is the certainty of the physical results which will follow, and if they can be escaped, there are thousands of men who would willingly risk the tortures of an outraged conscience. The would-be murderer is weighing the chances, and sees a prominant criminal lawyer, one who is noted for his success. He makes a calculation. 'I will get by this murder $20,000. I can pay Mr $5000, and he will got me off." The result is that all hesitation vanishes, the public are shocked by the record of another dreadful crime, and Mr. exerts his eloquence and his tactics, and the criminal escapes. By such a transaction as this the greatest public injury is done. Tho case of this oue man freed through the ability of coun sel stimulates a dozen others to like deeds, and the peace of society is endangered. It is for this reason that we esteem the existence of a pro-cmiuently great criminal lawyer a public calamity. In fact, the talents of such a mem ber of the bar tend to elevate crime. The day of trial is delayed, aud opportunities afforded for the successful concoction of a false theory of innocence. Tills is all wrong. Crime should meet with a prompt punishment. Public sentiment, through habit, has given to counsel a delay of a month or two as part of tho rights of the criminal. A prompt trial after an arrest is almost unheard of. Even in the late case of the Hill murder, four months and a half elapsed betweeu the deed and the expiation. They manage things better In France. There a murder is followed by a trial lu the same week, and if the accused bo proved guilty, another week sees him iu eternity. The knowledge of such a speedy fate tends, mightily to check crime. Then, too, the trials of criminal cases here are unnecessarily prolonged. To have the court listen for an unlimited time to counsel is an error. Let the time be limited, and let the defense and the prosecution each know that in .one hour they must say all that they have to say. For ten days to be consumed is certainly out of all proportion, and evidences a fecundity of words wincu argues ill for the ideas. In fact, a num ber of important changes must bo made iu order to make our system of criminal justice properlv mmum. mere is too much latitude given to crime, too much sympathy shown, too much luterierenee attempted.

Knight, whirh was exhibited about a year ago In the rooms of the Artist Vund Society, attracted nuich favorable eomntent at the time; and It was accepted as a highly creditable evidence of the ability of Philadelphia urt to hold ;its own against the rivalry of other cities. While the critics found very much to praise in the technical qualities of the picture, the members of the Methodist Epis copal L'onferenoc, for whom It whs painted, were much gratified with the line religious sentiment which Mr. Knight had Infused into the composition. The picture has now been engraved on steel by Mr. Ritchie, who has succeeded admirably In rendering the spirit of the work, and the painting and engrav ing together are admirable specimens of urtlstic workmanship. The engraving Is Intended us an adornment to the certlllcutes of membership, and the lettering, etc., will be added in such a manner as not to Interfere with the effect of the picture. A few proofs of the engraving hae been taken before lettering, and may be procured at J. H. Kurle A Son's. RELIGIOUS NOTICES. ihWr SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTK.

There has been considerable speculation among soiontlilo men as to the cause of the extraordinary illumination of the skies on Thursday night. We are happy to give the most recent and reliable theory. It is well known that these Northern Lights are reflections of something or other exceedingly brilliant and beautiful. But what could be so beautiful, noir, as to cause such magnificent reflective displays ? The theory which we feel bold to announce is that the wonderful appearance was caused by reflections from the magnificent lot of gorgeously tinted Spring Goods in ROCKHILL A WILSON'S store. Departing from the old fogy idea that every man ought to dress in black, and make himself look as much as possible like dark mid night, this long-established and enterprising Arm have made provision for each citizen to attire himself with all the splendor of an Aurora Borealis. Examination of this unsurpassed Spring Stock of clothes and materials ready to be made into clothes, aud investigation into the won derfully low prices, will well repay our citizens.
