The McDOnOugh Estate.

Much has lately been said coneernig
this famous property to the effect that It is
rapidly dwindling away under the enor-
nous expenses of litigation. The N. Q.
Picayune explodes the story:
sFears Sc EN- to be entertained in cer-
tain quarters that the vast legacy left by
John Nj Donough to the cities of New
Orleans and Baltimore and to charitable
institutions will soon disappear altogether.
The bequest to Pena of 100000 and law
charges and depreciation of property are,
the public are led to believe, giving the
coup de main to the whole estate. Now,
no longer ago than last April, the Admin
istrators of this property after careful ex-
animation of Its actual condition and hav-
ing submitted their estimates to the bes'
Judges Of the actual worth Of property IN
the city, officially reported that the estate
of John McDonough was worth $780,
OO0I Taking from this sum the bequest
to Pena, and there is left the snug little
sum of 81, 300, 1000. The law charges
and other expenses are more than met by
income from the property.

Gold On che Platte.

We saw a gentleman last Thursday,
who informed us that there was gold on
the Platte in considerable quantities. He
stated that he had a day or two before,
washed three pans and took out about two
cents to the pan, He says hat he had no
doubt but that he could make from two to
three dollars a day, within five miles Of
this place, by mining; but hat he knew of
better digings farther up the Platte. He
is an old Californian and knows good
diggings when he finds them. We wish
that some of the men who are now out of
employment in the east, and whose fami-
lies are suffering for the reason that there
is no labor to perform, were here TO make
even the two dollars a day. But the
Spring will see, or we are much mistak-
en-, thousands of strong armed, honest
hearted sons of toll here in the valley of
the Platte and tributaries, to gather an
honest independence in a few years, and
we heartily bid them welcOme.-PlaHs-

that the delegate from that Territory had

Mormons to some place without the iu-

pRaR FuRrAs ;

DEAR FURNAs:- Ci- JL1L-
l have been thinking every day since |
have been in this city to redeem my prom
Use of writing you (; and my only excuse
for not keeping my promise is this: l have
had so much business on hand that l have
not had time to sit down deliberately, and
write a letter fit for publication; and |
fear / shall not be able to do so now.
We had a high time coming across the
state of Missouri hours in a mud
wagon, open on the sides, front and back ;
a fresh, cold wind blowing all the time,
and mud splashing all over us. Wasn't
it delightful? However, thoughthe roads
were in a "bad condition. we arrived sin
good condition. at Clarence, where we
took the cars for Hannibal, thence steam
boat to St. Louis, where we again took
cars for this, place. / stopped for a few
days at Xenia, Ohio, then came on the
Central Ohio, and Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road. BY the way, if you ever come the
latter road, try and manage to stop at
Grafton, for they do set the hughest table
there / ever had the pleasure of sitting
down to-everything the appetite craved
was there In the greatest abundance; and
what was more important with me, every
thing was clean and nice.
But enough of that. 1 will turn my
attention to matters and things at Wash
ington. l shall-not bore you and your
readers with a description of the place ;
although you find that in almost all let
tiers.
The Lecompton Constitution of Kansas
arrived here on Saturday, and will be sub
mitted to Congress to-day, with a special
message from the President in regard to
it, A caucus of the Democrats opposed
to it was held on Saturday evening. Most
of the Northern and Western members
were present and took the ground that a
'large majority of the bona fde citizens
eff Kansas, who have a right to choose
their own institutions, are opposed to it,"
as expressed in Governor Denver's proc
lamation. | will send you the Presidents
message as soon as l can obtain a copy.
The House committe on naval affairs will
make a report, | am informed by several
that appear posted, condeming the con-
duct of Commodore Paulding in arresting
General Walker on the soil of Nicara-
ragua, as he went beyond his instructions.
which confined his efforts to the high seas.
That is, be 'invaded a state at peace with
the United States"
Our Delegate, Judge Ferguson, has in
troduced a bill for the bridging of the
Platte River, and extending the North and
South wagon road from the Platte River
to the Kansas line, and will introduce a
bill for a military road from Nebraska
City to Fl. Kearney, and some other pur-
poses.
The Territory is well represented here
at present; there being no less than 25
Nebraska men in the city. l believe in
the matter of the late RON in the legisla-
ture the "majority'' is fully sustained in
its course, here.
The city is very busy-theaters, con-
certs, exhibitions, lectures, balls &C., going
on all the time.
I'll write you again.

Governor Wise of Virginia, takes a
very sensible view of the Kansas trou-
bles, in a letter to the New York Sth of
January celebration, as the following ex-
tract will show: . aa, b,
"The Congress of the United States
ought not to reject the legitimate and re-
publican constitution; but ought to adopt
subject to the fair and legal vote of the
people of Kansas. If they adopt it to
admit her into the Union ipso facto, or if
they reject, to leave it to the people of
Kansas in their own way to organize an
other convention, and submit a constitu-
ton to Congress for their approval; and
for any difference of opinion as to the
mere mode of submitting or solving this
question by protest, that no true. earnest,
honest Democra, should be prescribed no
Northerner ought to d~ehounce the Presi-
dent for recognizing the fact of the legit-
macy of the Lecompton constitution, or
ought to denounne Senator Douglas for
contending manfully for the right of the
sovereign people to adopt or reject their
own form of self-goEernment."

When yesterday the Presidents Message was read a.
me cIerK.soesk l heard 1t but imperfectlyJ and 1 was
OF the impression that the President of the United States
had approved and endorsed the action Of the Lecompton
Constitution in Kansas. Under that impression I felt il
my duty 70 state that, while / concurred in the general
views Of the Message, yet so far as it approved or endor-
sed the action OF that Convention, 1 entirely dissented
from it, and would avail myself Of an early opportunitv
70 state my reasons for my dissent. Upon amUre careful
and critical examination Of the Message, lam rejoiced to
find that the President Of the United States has not re-
commended that Congress shall pass a law to receive
Kansas into the Union under the Constitution formed AZ
Lecompton. It is true that the tone OF the Message indi-
Gates a Willingness on the part Of the President to sign
Dill II we snail see proper topass one receiving Kansas
into the Union Under that Constitution. But, Sir. il Is
a TACT OF great significance, and worthy Of consideration
tnat me Presidenthas refraiRed from the endorsement
OF lhe convention, and from any Recommendation as thu
course Congress should pursue with regard to the Con-
stitution there formed. ,.ea III .TTtq
The message ofthe President has made an argument-
an 0nansTeTable argument in nv opinion-agsin fbaf
Constitution, which shows clearly, whether intended 10
arrive at that result or not, that, consistently with his
views and principles, he cannot accept that Constitu-
ton. Hehas expressed his deep mobilization and dis
appointment that the Constitution itself has mi bnan
suomittedto the peopleof Kansas for their acceptance
or rejection: He informs us that he has unquasinedly
expressed his opinions on that subject in his instructions
% Gov. walker, assuming, asa matter Of course, that
the Constitution was to pc submitted to the people be-
fore it could have any vitality OF validity.U
i rejoice, on a careful perusa1 OF the message, to ma
50 muen less 70 dissent from than ] was under the i'm
ptesslonthere was, from the hasty reading and imperfect
nearing OF the message in the first instance. In effect.
ne refers that document to the Congress OF the United
tAe OolSutQllOu OF the United States refers
I-ior as 70 decide upon it under our responsibility. 1t
is proper thathe should have thus referred it to us as 4
matter for Congressional action, and not as an Adminis-
trative OF Executive measure, for the reason that the
Constitution Of the United States says tAat "Conoress
may admit new States into the Union" Hence We hnd
theksnsas question before US now, not ne an Aaminis-
tration measure, not as an Executive measure, but as a
measure coming before us for our free sction, without
any Recommendation or interference, directly or indi-
rectly, by the Administration now in possession of the
Federal Government.

The Lecompton Constitution is now
before Congress, and we hope they will

under it; send it back to the people, and
