ConsfeSs-The Closing Scenes.

The National Inteligencer of Mon.
day, gives the following graphic sketch
of the closing scenes in Congress:
After midnight, in the all night ses.
sion'of Friday and Saturday, a wild
scene was presented in the House. Du.
ring the earlier hours of Friday night,
tho customary feasts had been prepared
by various subordinate officers. In the
rooms of the postmaster and door. keep.
er, extensive hospitalities had been dis
played-lavish lunches, with every de.
srable portable with which TO- wash
down the charming viands. Such good
cheer had evidently put tile House in
good humour, and for several hours
perpetrating practical jokes, introducing
ridiculous resolutions, making. funny
motions, pelting one another'with paper
balls, tickling the nostrils of uncon.
|3sclous sleepers, and playing all sorts of
pranks peculiar to school boys on the
eve of holiday. were the order of the
night. Even voting by tellers was
turned into joke, tile members passing
in squads so as to defy count, some Of
them passing six or seven, timas =. upon
the same motion, and voting indifferent.
ly on both sides as often as possible.
+ AT one time, the hall had the appear
ance of vast restaurant and lodging
house. A distinguished member from
Ohio, and another from New York,
were complacently devouring an early
breakfast spreaa~in grand array upon
their respective desks. A military
member from New Hampshire had
dropped his lead upon his knees and
made the hall resound With stcntouan"
sounds. Others were reclining in their
chairs or spread over their desks fast
locked in the embrace of Morpheus.
The sofas were all occupied. Radicals
Morgue; SOME : TgrScetdny -,nsbusyt aifi :.
easy attitudes, and others doubled up
like victims of a severe cranip.colic. The
scene truly ludicrous, but good humour
prevailed, and all business was persist.
emily voted down, except the reports of
the conference committees, the presenta.
ton of which was the signal for arous.
ing the slumbering heroes of the House
long enough to vote.
The InteHtgencer gives the rump Con.
gress the following parting, but we'll.
merited' kick to its members:
The rump Congress has adjourned
Its session OF eight narrowing months,
boding i'll like an impending pestilence,
has at length gone past, and is Of the
dismal things that were. Convolving
clouds have darGened our sky; the
lightning of fell revolutionary purpose
have flashed across the gloom but the
bolt has not yet descended, and the
wild sweep of the storm OF civil war is,,
thanks to God, for time arrested.
This Congress will ever be most con.
spicuonsly Infamous in tie category Of
the worst organizations having govern.
mental functions that have dishonored
and shamed enlightened society in all
the worlds history. Its dispersion from
the Capitol TO widely separated and re.
mote localities is welcome relief to ap.
prehensiohs arising from the bodily PIES.
ence of concentrated mischief, such as
in the material world takes to itself tho
form OF the ''plagnc that stalketh at
noon.day."
