JAMES w. NYE, formerly United States
Senator from Nevada, died at White Plains,
y. Y, on last Monday week. He was
native Of the State in which lie died, and
man of ''inGuite jest and humor,"
being regarded as the leading wit of the
Senate during his term of Office. He had
peculiar facility for borrowing money
from Horace Greeley and never returning
it. Apropos of this popularity it is said
that when President Lincoln was in trouble
about successor for Secretary of the
Treasury Chase, who had been transferred
20 the office of Chief Justice, Greeley wrote
to Lincoln and told him to appoint 'tJim
Nye," of Nevada, for the reason that from
his (Greeley's) experience, Nye could bor-
row more money and pay less back than
any other man in the United States and
hence he thought that he (Nye) would be
the right mau in the right place as Secrc-
tary of the Treasury. But Lincoln, failing
to see it in that light, appointed VIM. p.
Fesseuden, at that time Senator from
Maine, as the successor of Chase. Peace,
ray we, to the ashes of James w. Nye, who
is kindly end atlectionately remembered by
his hosts Of personal friends all over the
country.

The Legislature Of this State convened
ut Harrisburg ON last Tuesday. Both
branches are Republican, and as heretofore
are under the political control of Simon
Cameron and his corrupt henchmen. It
is therefore only necessary to state that
Newmycr, of Allegheny county, was nom
mated by the Republican caucus as Presi.
dent pro tenn Of the Senate, Of which Hon
John Latta, Democrat, of Greensburg. who
is tie Lieutenant Governor of the State,
is the active presiding officer. Mr.. New
myer will as a consequence be moro orna-
mental than useful in his office of Presi-
dent pro ten. The Speaker of the Honse
is Z. Reed Meyer, of Bradford county, ard
of course all the subordinate officers in both
branches are Republicans. What the Leg
is'ature thus organized will do, or what it
will neglect TO do, remains yet TO be seen
but it is hoped and demanded by the tax
payers of the State that the session will
he very far short of one hundred days. 1t
is n saying worthy of all commendation
that ''the world is governed too much" "
Let the present Legislature remember this
and also not forget that the fewer laws
that may be passed the better, and that the
people Of the whole State will endorse
and sustain them in the discharge Of all
their duties, # tcelI performed.

WE have said in these columns more
than once that the honest and fair vote of
louisiana and Florida was for Tildcp, and
that it never could be, on any principle of
Justice and right, declared against him.
We also admitted time and again that
Hayes had received majority of the votes
in South Carolina, but always claimed that
Wade Hampton had carried the same State
for Governor. Grant says he wants fair
and honest count of the vote, and that the
people of the United States would submit
to nothing less. This is true, but this dec
laration was made by Grant for a special
purpose, and fully indicates his personal
and political predictions for military force
to execute and carry out his own will in
favor of the Inauguration of Hayes. But
Grant will be powerless on the 5th day of
next March, and will not possess any more
official authority than he did when he was
tanner in Galena, Illinois. We will not
speculate on what will take place when the
two branches of Congress meet on We'd
nesday, the 14th Of February, to open and
count the electoral vote of the different
States. This whole question, we mean the
manner Of counting the electoral vote, is
now in the hands ola joint committee of the
Senate and House, and we can only hope
from its wise and prudent deliberations
within the next ten days, at the end Of
which time the Committee is expected to
report, that the heretofore uniform practice
will lie adhered to and that Tilden and
Hendricks, in obedience TO the overwhenl
ing voice of the American people, will be
inaugurated, as they have right to be, as
President and Vice President of the Uni
ted States. "Vor populi, roc Del" or in
common language, "The voice Of the peo
! pie is the voice of God"
