The best illustration, says the Cleve-
land Plqindedler. Of the. utter folly of
urging a Congressional slave code for the
Territories measure which is denan-
ded BY the opponents of Senator Douglas
that we have seen, is contained in the
following extract from a letter of the
Washington correspondent of the Column
bia South CarOliniqn, a leading paper in
the Palmetto State. He says:
1.-The Southern SeDators have had sew
era. eaucuses, TO agree on a platform for
the Territories. Its thought this move
is pushed by the Northern Senators adj
10 Douglas. Everything seems to
concede that it is the thermometer, and
not the code. that will fix the status Of
slavery in the Territories. The other
day, a strong Democrat, quite sound on
the goose, said toa Southern man, I am
willing TO give you a slave CODE" To
which the Southern gent replied, Thank
You for your excessive liberality; but
pray. tell me what good will your code do
unless you can give me a hot sung"
"Oh, none at ALL" was the reply, 'but
what more do you want than a good prln-
ciple2p Southern gent why, as Idon't
live aon air, / prefer a useful practice ;
and with all Difference, allow me to say
that your slave code, with no Territories
left but Utah and New Mexico--as bar
rem as Siberia. as dry as Sahara, and as
cold as the Alps-is a most untniIigated

From the Helena Note Book. @io2,5O0 Donated to Helena to Build College!


 The majority of the readers of the Note Book are aware that Junius w. Craig of this State, made will about two wears since ln which he provided for the erection of magnificent college at Helena. In this will he included some of his relatives, Miss Emma j. Wright, of Louisville, and the city of Helena. The relatives brought suit to break the will, and the case has been pending in the courts for three success sve terms. At the last term held in Chicot county, last week, the contestants for and claimants against the will compromised their differences, and the matter has been finally and satisfactorily settled.
 As there will be some anxiety to know the terms on which this question was ad- justed we will give the facts and figures briefly. The friends of the will, Miss Wright and Helena estimated that the es- tate of Junius ". Craig was worth one million dollars; those opposed to the will estimated it at SS00,00 The relatives of Craig proposed to compromise with Miss Wright and Heera by paying the debts of the estate, S1S0.00 and pay to Mr. Faulkner S35, GOO, 10 L. L. Craig S35,- 900. to John r. Craig $l0,000, 10 Mir. Peak S80, ,000, to Vim. F. Halliday for re- linquishing his right as administrator un- der the wifi, $50 900, to Helena S152, 800, and to Miss Wright S200, ,0OO, making the total amount of SIPS, 5O0 the Craig heirs estimating their interest in the estate to be $200, GOO, which makes S922, 300. Under this arrangement all parties were reconciled and the case dismissed from litigation.
 Suffice 1t to say that Helena has fallen heir to $152, 800, bearing six per cent in- terest for ten years. Fifteen thousand dol lars will be due January next, and the same amount annually, which can al once be ex- pended in erecting the college. This mag nifcent donation will establish literary institution which will immortalze the name | of Junius w. Craig, and rear a college 1t Helena which will be the pride of the State, and prove great blessing to the south.- | The citizens of Helena are under lasting l obligations to Judges Adams and HanIy l for their untiring efforts and legal knowl- edge for the happy termination of this suit.
 This magnificent sum of money will bc under the control of the mayor and council of Helena, and they will have the power to purchase land, and make contracts for the immediate commencement Of the erec- ton of the college buildings A magnif- cent building can be erected for the sum of $50, 900 or 840,000, leaving the sum of Sl?0 GOO at interest, and tile interest will easily pay all the professors in the college. This will then build and endow the college. which will make tuition free toevely young man who may desire to graduate at Helena The utmost pFecaution should be used by the mayor and council, in the management of this fund, and rigid economy and prompt attention should De their motto. A vast responsibility will now rest upon these men, but their interest being in general with that of every citizen of Helena they will acquit themselves with honor and fidelity.

The Nominee for Governor.

This week we hoist the name of RIcH'p H. JoHSsoN to our masthead as the no minpe of the Democratic State Convention for Governor In doing ths we perform a pleasing duty, and an act in perfect con sonance with our feelings
 Col. Johnson, from the start, was our choice for Governor, and we believe his nomination was desired by the great ma .lority of the party throughout the State He was our choice, and the favorite of the people, because of his sterling democracy, anti state-rights principles; his long and faithful service in the party; but more par tlcuarly. because of his uniform advocacy ot the administration of Gov. Conway, believing that he would be the man to con summate, if elected, what the pre,ent exc cutive has undertaken. Gov. Conway, we believe, was nominated the second time by exclamation, so popular was his course, amt on retiring from the office he now holds, he will bear with him the hearty approba- ton of nearly the entire State. and the glo- rious plaudits of well done thou good and faithful servant, be the spontaneous greet ing of grateful and happy people But the work he has undertaken, has not been completed. It is still unfinished. The people want no change of administrative potcy, ahd Col. Johnson is opposed tc any. He was, therefore, very naturally the choice of the convention. As to his election. there Of course can enc question. Though there may be all opposition candidate in tie field the result can only be affected not changed. For Johnson. the democratic party will be unit. and he will march into the gGbema toral chair, to which he has been n5mina. ted triumphant, and with ease, when the time ves.-Kndisoa Journal.

Er The N. '. Tribune was nrofesscdlv

ES- The \. !. Tribune was professcdly very much scandalized, not long since, at the conduct of the American Minister at the Court of St. James, because that func- tionary thought it inconsistent with the dignity and duty of his office to become the agent of wine merchant. Talking of this, the other day, with an old ex- Minister and ex-M. c. formerly whig, now re- publican, we asked what he thought of the matter? That Mir. Dallas did his duty--no more or less" replied our inter- locutor. "The man." he continued "who speaks of Mir D. as a 'snob, or charges him with ungentlemanly behavior, either doesn't know the person he stalking about, or IS ignorant of what constitutes polite ness. Sir, a truer gentleman than Mr. Dallas does not exist l remember fact connected with his parliamentary career which well illustrates this point. During the four years that Mr. D. as Vice Presi- dent) was speaker of the Senate, it hap pened that the two Senators from Arkansas habitually pronounced the name oi that State in different manner Tle speaker observing this, never failed to odogtMe pro- nunciotjon employed hy the one whose name he had occasion to call in the Senate, and said, '1he Senator from Alkansos.' or The Senator fom Alkansow.'
