Congressional.

. WASHINGTON, March 3.-In the
Senate, the Finance Committee was
directed to inquire as to the expcdi-
ENJOY of repeating taxes on incomes
and manufactures. The Clerk of the
House announced the passage Of.
articles of impeachment and the
appointment of managers. The Sec
retary OF the Senate was directed to
inform the House that the Senate was
ready. A bill funding the national
debt was resumed.
In the House, bill was introduced
under the regular call, by Blaine, to
build levees on the Eastern bank of
the Mississippi, and reclaim over
flowed land. A resolution, that as
much speed in impeachment as is
compatible with Justice. A motion
to suspend the rules, to. admit o pro-
test against impeachment, was lost
40 to II. The impeachment ma
nagers introduced two additional
articles. The seventh of the first
series being stricken out, these are
known as ten and eleven. They
were adopted by q strict party vote.
The tenth is Buffers, charging the
President with misdemeanors in
speeches while swinging round the
circle. The eleventh is compre-
hensiye, charging the President with
saying, in 1865, in Washington, that
Congress was illegal, and could only
act. SO far as he, chose &c recognize it,
and was in violation of two or three
bills, in efforts to keep Stanton out,
after the Senate had overruled his
reasons for suspension. This article
includes Stevens charges, which
failed yesterday. The managers are
authorized to send for persons and
papers. Adjourned.

SARCASTIC.

The New York Trsbune is inclined to be
"sarkastcal, as Aremus used to say, about
the platform of the Indiana Democracy. 1t
dlscourses thus:-
The fundamental theory on which the
Democratic party is run is that whenever
and wherever the fools can all be united
against the men of sinse, the Democratic
ticket can be carried. The Indiana Demo.
Gratis have therefore Just met, and, except
the purchase of Walrussia by Mr.. Seward,
if there is any piece Of political tom foolery
which they have forgotten to indorse, it must
have been from want of paper on which to
write it, or of perseverance in "dong the
spelling" They want the Reconstruction
acts repealed before they have been tried,
so that the President failure may again be
repeated.
They want the National Banking system,
always the best, and now the only banking
system in the country, abolished, in order
that the greebacks, or forced loan, which,
as war measure, they denounced, may be
doubled in time of peace.
They want the United States bonds to be
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1868-02-08

taxed, though all courts have at all time
held such taxation to be unconstitutional
and though it has been n thousand time
shown that no part of the tax, if levied, will
be paid by the bondholder, but that ever,
dollar of it will be paid by the present tax
payers. They deny that the Southern State
ever could get out of the Union, and asser
their inalienable right to go out Of the Unior
when they wished; thank Andrew johnson
thai they are already in the Union, and de
nounce Congress for still keeping them GU
of the Union. They believe that so mucl
of the National Debt as was not expressly
agreed to be paid should, like Micawber'
notes Of hand, be renewed by promises, anc
that these promises, to the amount of $400,
900, 900, should be regarded as valid pay
ment of 81 800, 900, 900 of the debt.
This they call paying the debt in green
backs. Like Micawber, when he had given
his 'note Of hand," they will, when the debt
is converted into promises, breathe freer
and thank God the debt is paid. They are
opposed to tariff which only produces the
tnfing pittance o. $40, O00,O 900 per annum,
and want one adopted ''for revenue only"
They want the democratic party, whose
rebellion cost us half a million lives and five
thousand millions of dollars, placed in pow
er for the sake of economy. They deny the
right of Andrew Johnson or any Other
branch Of the Federal Government to say
| VIII pb,n ~ Iob ~
the State governments having been destroy
ed by their own rebellion, if the Fedora
Government does not say who shall vote
there can be no voting, and without voting
there can be no reconstruction. And this
they call speedy restoration.
They want free liquor, and slave labor
which would place them in ashappya plight
rs the lrishman who landed in this countr,
on Winters day, and found the dogs lei
loose and the stones iroze fast.
They curse the war for the Union, and
everything else that cant vote, including
the negro, but bless the soldiers who soer,
Tie Democratic ticket They recognize il
Andrew johnson the Sun IN Heaven, in the
Republican party a very dark cloud, and il
the South prize squash, suffering for lack
Of Sunshine.
They recognize in George Washington al
individual who might have been something
OF a man if he had not lived so near the
epoch Of Gen. Hancock.
! They congratulate their sister Democracy
Of Ohio upon having given birth to that
wonderful infant, the Hon. Geo. II. Pendle
ton, and trust that mother and child are do
ing well.
Had the Indiana Democracy incorporated
in their platform clause condemning
schooimasters and newspapers, it would
have been perfect.

Queen VictOria's Domestic Life,

Last year the publication of Queen Vic
toria's memoir of Prince Albert, her hus.
band, added one more to the list of royal
and noble authors. 1t was compiled, under
Victorias direction, by General Grey, from
her own journals and other papers, and was
annotated by herself The narrative, com.
posed by second person, was rather stiff as
II composition, though assuredly and unex.
pectedIy very communicative. In the pres.
ent volume the whole text has been written
by the Queen, in the first person, which
makes il more pleasant to read.
NictoriA's personal dedication of this vol.
ume is $50 the dear memory of Him who
made the life of the Writer bright and hap.
py, these simple records are lovingly and
gratefully inscribed.'
Her marriage took place in February.
1910: her first visit to Scotland in August,
1872 her adoption of Balmoral purchased
by Prince Albert, who built the present castle
ON the estate as a summer-residencc, was
as early as 1919: the foundation of the pres.
ent Balmoral Castle was laid in September
1858, and it was nearly completed in two
years; the last visit there, in company with
Albert, was in October, 1861 his death oc
CURED in the following December.
En- route to Scotland, in August, 1912, the
Queen wrote: "One cannot help noticing
how much longer the days are here than
they were in England. 1t was not really
dark till past eight O clock, and on Monday
and Tuesday evening, at Windsor, it was
nearly dark by half past seven, quite so be-
fore eight" The agility Of the crew is thus
noticed: at is surprising to see the sailors
climb on the bowsprit and up to the top OF
the st-head-this, too, at all times of the
day and night. The man who carried the
lantern to the main top ran up with it in his
mouth to the top. They are so handy and
so well conducted"
Here is Victoria first impression of Edin.
burgh, which is set down rs Edinburg
throughout the volume, though it is certain
that her Majesty never could have cut off the
final h.:
There were, however, not nearly so many
people in Edinburgh, though the crowd and
crush were such that one was really contin.
ually in fear of accidents. More regularity
and order would have been preserved had
there not been some mistake on the part Of
the provost about giving due notice Of our
approach. The impression Edinburg has
made upon us is very great il is quite beau
titul, totally unlike anything else | have
seen; and, what is even more, Albert, who
has seen SO much, says it is unlike anything
he ever saw; it is so regular-everythng
built of massive stone-there is not brick
to be seen anywhere. The High street,
which is pretty steep, is very fine. Then the
Castle, situated on that grand rock in the
middle of the town, is most striking. On
the other side Gallon Hill, with the National
Monument, building in the Grecian style !;
Nelson's Monument, Burns Monument, the
Jail, the National School, etc.-all magnif.
cent buildings, and with Arthur's Seat in the
background, overlapping the whole, form
altogether a splendid spectacle, The entaa'

Adventure with an Elephant.

Wild elephants travel in families. Every
member of family is a blood relative
These herds, as they are called, contain
from ten to twenty individuals, although
sometimes there are more than that even. -
In the depths of the forests of India and Cey
Ion, large numbers of elephants travel in
company, from place to place, in search of
water, or browse together in the friendliest
way and any one who CHANGED to see them,
if he did not know their habits, would sup
pose they were single herd. But, on the
first sign of danger, he would note the fact
that the elephantine regiment was made up
of family companies, who would at once
form into an independent body, and obey
each its own chosen leader.
These leaders are said to be elected by
"impartial suffrage Thore is no distinc.
ton on account of sex or color for the
females are eligible to this high Office if they
show themselves fit for the position.
The family pride of the elephant is exces.
sive. One would, as he reads about them,
think that they must imagine that they
"came over in the Mayhower," and had
grandfathers who fought at Bunker Hill,"
and that each of them was educated at Har-
ward College; they are so exclusive in their
manners, and treat the rest of the elephant.
