Pooh NYE.-Olten and deeply as we
have disagreed with the political course
of ex-senator Nye, yet it is with feelings OF
profound and unaffected sorrow that we
read of the hopeless overthrow of that
brilliant and versatile intellect. We can
recollect him in the full tide of his pop
uarity in this State, keen and astute,
bright any jovial. with deep, rich vein
Of rare wit, that would enthral any one,
no matter how much they might dielike
him and his opinions. Now that varying
fancy, that racy wit, that gay hued i'm
agina,ion are all gone. They have given
way to querulous complainings, silly
babblings or idiotc merriment, It's a
sad, terrible, tremendous fall, and
makes the once envied and powerful
Senator, an object of pity from the weak
est and those who are lowliest placed
Dom Piatt says that Robson, the
Secretary of the Navy, is in trouble. He
has n department that wont burn up"
Pity, is Mt it, There is moreover an
other equally inconvenient matter. The
attempts to create n good, sound, sub
stantial blaze in the department were
getting painfully monotonous, and if the
! jovial sailor that at present is AZ the head
of it is not careful to prevent further
repetitions in the incendiary line, things
may be made exceedingly hot for him
Folks are cultivatng inconvoniently &C
curate memories, and they do not forge
that Secor business, so it is to be HOPED
that Brother Robson will go slow in tn,
pyrotechnic business.

ABOVE SUspIoIoN.-Clergymen shoul'
be, if they wish to be useful in thei
sacred calling. Sometime since the Rev
Nevin Woods, OF Brooklyn. (evil sound
ing locality was accused of n nameles
crime. The Presbytery (Reformed Pres
byterian church, of New York. after a
investigation declares the man is innC
cent, Probably the verdict is correct
but whether it is or not, in view OF tn
utterly worthless character of the jude
ments of such tribunals, as instanced i
r the Beecher and Glendeuning inquiries
: we would advise the Rev. Nevin Wood
to seek some other occupation beside
preaching the gospel.
Professor Stewart has been lecturir
in Carson very acceptably; so intimate
the Tribune of that place. That journ
: however somewhat overdoes the thir

Il MIR. Stewart is an able and experience,
y gentleman, we'll yersed in mineralogic

J. ion on such matters is both valuable, r
