Congressional Miscellany.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The Presiden: has
signed the Civil Appropriation bill, but objected
to the clause appointing Capt. Meigs Disbursing
Agent of the appropriation for the Washington
Aqueduct, intimating that if the necessities of
the services demanded his presence elsewhere, he
would have no hesitation in removing him from
the position assigned him by Congress.
The President sent in another communication
protesting against the action of the Oovode com
mittee. His grounds of objection are, princi-
pally, that the charges against him are vague
and equivocal; that the proceedings were in vi
olation of the rights OF the Executive branch of
the Government, and establish dangerous pre-
cedent, tending to degrade the Presidential Of
fee, and render it unworthy the acceptance of
any honorable man. He compares the commit
tee to Robespierre's Council. The message was
lengthy, and was referred to committee of five,
who are to report on it next session.
The Postal Deficiency bill was passed, but the
Post Route bill was lost.

DEATH OF G. P. R. JAMES, EsQ.-Mr. James
as born in London about the beginning of the
present century. He very early iInbibed litera-
ry tastes, and from time to time contributed to
the journals and reviews. At the age of fifteen
he went to France, where he spent many years
of his life. 1t was upon the advice of the late
Washington Irving that be first attempted any
thing important in authorship. The result OF
Irving's encouragement was the novel of Richie.
lieu. Since that time he has written larger
number of novels than any writer of his day,
some of which would have done credit TO Sir
Walter Scott. About 1850, he removed with
his family to the United States, and was after
wards appointed H. B. NJ. Consul for Virginia.
His genial character, and cordial, unpretending
manners, made him hosts of friends here. From
Virginia be was transferred to the Consul Gen
eralship at Venice; where he was residing at
the time of his death.

Epitaph for the Democratic Party

The Democratic party being as dead as Julius
Caesar, We would have it buried with becomingly
grace ceremony, and have as fine a marble slat
as Marquis & Kelly can prepare, to contain the
"hequiescat IN pace" as it was inscribed upon
the tomb of the old woman referred to in the
following anecdote:
Upon the slab stone over the grave of an old
woman the lapidary not finding room to inscribe
in full "Let her rest IN peace" merely put the
initial letters of the last three words, which
made it read, "Let her RIP"
We think that the epitaph "Let her RIP" is
quite as appropriate as anything else for the de-
funct Democratic party, as it has no virtues to
be COMMUNICATED in marble

ssThe Vision of the PLOUGH. >,

We hope that the length of the excellent An
niversary Poem published upon our first page,
entitled 1.-THE vision of the plough" will not de-
ter any one from reading it. We are pleased to
publish poetical contributions when they possess
genuine merit as is the case in this instance
We hope that the author of "The Vision of the
plough" who is also the author of volume of
poems of merit, will favor our readers with more
illusions from his poetical pen. He has imbibed
of the true Oastalian fOunt.

Strange-a word for Buchanan.

The friends of Douglas allege that the seceders
nominated Breckenridge with the view OF re-
ceiving the influence of the Administration in
favor of their candidate The remarks compli-
mentary of Buchanan by Senator Davis since
the nomination on the occasion of serenade to
Breckinride, seem to give some support to that
allegation. When addressing the seceders in
Washington City on that occasion, he said:
"The Democracy honor President Buchanan
for all he has done, and casts the complaints OF
the office-seekers to the winds.''

Presidential Candidates.

1IcS1OcuIldl CduQ1UdtcSs
There are now four regularly nominated Pres.
idential tickets in the field, viz:
Constitutional Union IScket.-John Bell, OF
Tennessee, for President. Edward Everett, of
Massachusetts, for Vice President
Black Republican ZScket-Abran Lincoln, OF
Illinois, for President. Hannibal Hamlin, OF
Maine, for Vice President.
ABOLITION Ca,adidate-G erritt Smith, of New
York.
Regular Democratic IScket.--Stephen A.
Douglas, of Illinois, for President. 81. Y. John.
son, of Georgia, for Vice President.
Seceders' Democratic IScket.-Jno. @. Brock
inr;dge, of Kentucky, for President. JOS Lane,
of Oregon, for Vice President.
In addition to these, we believe that Gen. Sam
Houston, of Texas is an independent candidate
for the Presidency, making the sixth ticket in
the field.
AS the Lincoln, Douglas and Breckenridge
tickets are all sectional-the former being so a5
inatao, and the latter two made so by division
in Baltimore-there being now but one truly
National ticket, that of Bell and Everett, there
need no longer be any hesitancy on the part OF
national men, no matter to what party they
have heretofore belonged, as to the choice they
should make. Persons wishing to vote for a
national ticket will not hesitate to give their
cordial support to the election of Bell and Ev-
erett. Lincoln and Douglas are the sectional
candidates of the Notwithstanding the Sec
tional candidate of the South, and Bell the Ma
tionGl candidate of the Union.

As to the general, but yet unexpressed feeling
in the North, the Louisville Journal gives the
following, by no means improbable intelligence !:
One Of the most distinguished men of the
South, who has been travelling recently in the
North, assures Us that very many of both the
Democrats and the Republicans of the latter sec-
ton declare themselves privately in favor of Bell
and Everett, and will go for those candidates If
they shall see reason to believe that there is a
good chance OF success. OF course we know not
what turn matters may take, but it will not sur :
prise US if the Conservative Union ticket shall
be elected almost by acclamation.
