We are highly gratifed to learn, says
the Brandon Republican, that the Judges Of
the High Court Of Errors and Appeals have
appointed the Hon. w. Z. Sharkey, the
Hon. S. S. Boyd, of Natchez, and Hon. II.
T. Elicit, Of Claiborne, as Commissioners
to codify the laws of the State, in accord
ance with the provisions of the Act of last
session. No selections from the legal tall
ent Of the State could, we think, have been
more iudicious and more commendable, and
have received more fully the hearty con-
currence and appreciation Of the citizens OF
Mississippi. 1t is true that one OF our dem
ocratic cotemporarieS intimates that little
larger share of democratic leaven would
have seasoned the appointment more TO his
liking in some respects; but yet, with all
the objections that even political differences
of opinion could possibly suggest. we feel
assured that this action Of our highest tri-
bunal will be most thoroughly ratified by
popular sentiment. The great practical
benefit resulting from codifcation of our
laws, efficiently and skillfully arranged by
the profound knowledge, experience and
legal discrimination of these gentlemen,
must readily be discovered and fully appre'
ciated. This, too. will have the prestige Of
legislative sanction, and will be practical
illustration Of the many conflicts nd incon-
sistencies which now exist in our statutory
enactments, which can then readily and safe
~ be remedied. The action OF the legisla-
ture in providing for the commission, and
the appropriate action of the Court in this
very iudicious selection, will certainly obvi-
ate the necessity, which has heretofore been
supposed to exist for the increase of our leg
islation at each successive session, by three
or four hundred enactments at cost offifty
or sixty thousand dollars. If these gen.
man can, consistently with their situation,
cacept the appointment thus rendered, an
important advantage to the State so much
needed and desired, will be secured.

The New York Herald gives very fair
representation 81 the ridicnlously yascilla-
ting course pursued By The Administration
ia relation 60 the Nebraska bin fle Her
aid says:
When first introduced, Il Is vel known
that its shape was harmless, and that the
plinciple now at issue was leIt 70 the Sn-
preme Court 10 deci 3. The FIRST motion to
repeal the compromise of 1890, as uncon.
stitutional and Inconsistent with the prlncl-
pie Of the Legislation Of 1850, came from AlIs
Dixon. 81 Kentucky, and twas at once as
sailed BY the administration organ. as g
species oftreason scarcely less heinous than
labolilionisn. Just at this time the Freesoil
antecedents Of Mr. Pierce began to be deyel
oped, and. the reasons OF his peculiar iayors
to John Van Buren's friends to be bruited
abroad. The south, scircely knowing what
to believe among the conflicting statements,
land at heart suspicious ofthe sincerity ofthe
cabinet, resolved to clear away its doubts
Iby introducing amendments embodying The
repeal Of the Missouri compromise. The
/ administration organ again shifted It's
ground, and with aversatility which aston
lished the world, formally declared the re-
Ipeal of the compromise TO be test Of sound
Democracy. As the New Hampshire cleo.
ton approached, however, its courage be-
gan to flag. and, changing its course again,
III declared that support Of the Nebraska
bill was not test question Of democracy,
and allowed people to think as they pleased,
Staggered By the blow dealt them in New
Hampshire, the administration, as soon IS
the election returns were received, once
more directed their organ to wheel about
and to pronounce the bill a thorough test Of
Democracy.

The year TIA may be considered IS
marking the commencement Of the gayest
period of Pope's life. IT was the beginning
Of decade Of prosperous years in which
through all circums tanCes, his spirit was
most sanguine, exultant, and defanL He
had not yet assumed the philosophers robe
or hardened down into severe satire or eth
les. His wit was sportive; and his enemies
for he always supposed himself to be sur
rounded by cloud of enemies-he could
afford tolaugh at. His pen was the sword
he cut his way through the world with and
it was bright and trenchant ready for any
service At first his good fortune seems
to hove transported him into excuses fOa-
eign to IFS legal character. He set up for a
bonyiyant and rake Fl quentep in the Octo-
Der club and gaming houses but was never
known to bet boosted of sitting till two 10
morning ovea burgundy and champaign
and grew ashamed Of business. Poor au-
thors were his special aversion. He sketch
ed plans architectural, designs with Lord
Burlington; lounged in The library Of Lord
Oxford breakfasted with raggs; talked Of
the Spanish war with the chiyalrous Nor
daunt Lord Peterborough the English anna
dis: or in the evening joined in the learned
railery Of Arbuthnot. With young Lord
WaTTick and other beau-esprit he had de-
licious lobster nights and tavern gayelies
hrw different from life in Wind or Forest.
At the country seats Of Lord Haacount Ba-
thurst and Cobbham he was a frequent Wis
itor critning groves walks garden and por-
ticoes and he may claim the merit Of hav-
ing done more than any other poet to render
English scenes classic ground q distinction
in which he e. followed by Grey and
Walpole the latter as historian Of pStTician
improvement and lural beauty. In the So
ciety Of ladies of rank and fashion the dim
inHtive figure Of the poet might be seen in
his suit Of laced velvet, with tie wig and
small sword discoursing on topics Of wit and
gallantry his fine eyeand handsome intellect
nal face soon making the defects Of his per-
son forgotten; for in company entirely to his
mind Pope then possessed the art anil gayety

The Cincinnati Gazette is laboring to
prove that slavery is not a domestic institu-
ton. It is political institution says the
editOr; and the Massachusetts, man has just
as much right right tostriye to circumscribe
it diminith it or abolish It as 3he Virginia
has to do the codtrary. The gazette has
heretofore been a conservative journal
claiming Cor Congress only right, to inter-
ferc with slavery within the District of 60
lumbia and the territories Of the United
States. Its present position win go far to
show the southern people how little they
have to hope from the presses Of tina North.
We are ashamed to say that the Gazette is a

nounce its claim to interfere with tbs prop

A New IDEA IN REGARD TO CUBA.-A let.
ter from Washington says;
In the incidental debate which sprung up
this morning in the Senate on the Nebraska
bill, Mr.. Butler, of South Carolina hit upon
one hoint outside the immediate question,
which is Of be highest Specification anb inn
portance. He suggested the necessity Of
harmony and Cancellation between the two
sections the Union, because of the dangers
to be apprehended from the present allience
between France snd England. Let Russia
be crushed in this war and what guarantee
is there that the present balance ofpOWer in
the Gulf of Mexico will not be in invaded? p
There is note. The victorious French and
English fleets and armies from the Baltic
the Black sea and the Danube, may easily
be detailed to appropriate between the two
powers the sovereignty of all the West India
Islands and perhaps the territories of Mexico
and Central America. The inducements
will be strong and the present Anglo-Fre oh
allience covers the regulation Of the affairs Of
he Western as well as the Eastsrn hcmis-
phere. Mr.. Butler has the sagacity to see
the drift of this eastern question as far as
this Western Hemisphere is concerned; and
before many months are over, his views may
be shared in by much lager proportion ol
the Soutoern men Of both houses than al
present Mr.. Butler has shaped out the
geneaal idea, and it will take root or die. as
the war in Europe may disclose the Interior
schemes Of England and France in regard
to Cuba and the other west Indies.
