q the last things d importance aehiev-

May
A great many bills were signed, and
nominations confirmed, at the last
hours, Of course; but the inexoratle
las. hours came and went, leaving some
things undone President Grant was
at the Capitol Saturday morning, sign
ing bills from about 8: 80 to II. His
Cabinet were present TO read and ad-
wise. Among the bills which failed to
reach kim in time before the adjourn
ment, aud we're not signed, were the
bill for the relief Of Rollin White, being
an extension for a patent; the joint ros-
olution in relation to a site for new
State Department, aud joint resolu-
ton appointing General Thomas Os-
born Of Chicago, as a manager of the
National Asylum for Disabled soldiers,
in place Of Governor Oglesby resigned.
Among the last combinations were
James III Ashley, late Representative
from Ohio, Governor Of Montana by a
majority Of one, after hard fight
against him by Republicans no less tEan
Democrats; Rush Spencer Of New
York, Surveyor General Of New Mexi-
co; and Edward L. Perking of Pa, Sec
rotary of New Mexico Fifty-three
nominations were ruled out at the meet
ing Of the two hands Of the Senate clock
Saturday Previously, however, the
Internal Revenue nominations for
Brooklyn being part of them--were
STAYED off by the determined exertions
Of Senator Conkling. The object gain
ed by the Senator hath this extent, no
more; the nominations having expir ed
with this session Of the 4lsts Congress,
will stand chance Of not being made
again another session, and SO candi-
dates would be defeated. / transcribe
the Stars brief sketch of the last mo-
ments Of the session in the House, es-
peeially for the incidental description
and deserved commentator OF Speak
er Blaine il contains:
I'm the House, there was the usual
fundamentally pandemonium, with
scores Of members en- their legs at the
same moment, shouting gesticulating.
&C., like SO many performers in one Of
Yerdi's noisiest operas. Speaker Blaine
managed his turbulent schoo! with the
ease and selt-possession OF u practiced
hand, and dispatched business with
notable rapidity meanwhile. 1t was a
curious illustration Of the American be
lief that some things can be done as
well as others, to see how the Speaker
managed TO use bis gayol vigorously
with one hand, sign multitudinous bills
with the other, and at the same time
give momentary decisions upon points
OF order. At II m down went his CAV
el with decisive interest, and then he
announced that the hour having arriy-
ed, &c, the House stood adjourned, &c,
an announcement that vas received
with cheers BY the members, vino com
mencsd romping about among the desks
like SO many school boys let loose. Ey-
erybody shook hands with everybody,
and many were SO oxuberantly rejoiced
that they embraced their neigabors az
ter the Continental style Of feryor. In
the general good telling even Gen. But
len and Gen Schenck seemed inclined
to melt into the embracing mood, but
il didn't quite happen"

A great many Representatives loft
town yesterday, and with them great
er number Of those whom they repre-
sent. Yet there are many members
still remaining 10 see farther to the bus
mess Of constituents; some Representa-
tives deeming il quite as much incum-
bent upon them TO look after appoint
monts, when the nominations conc Of
due party authority. as TO fulfill their
