CLOSING OF THE SESSI N.
WASHINGTON, D. g., March 4, 1875
Crowds gathered at the Capitol, this morn
ing, to witness the last hours Of the 43d Con-
gross.
Both houses had remained in session all
night, aud business was passed through at a
rapid rate. In the hurry and change Of amend
ments non-concurrings and conferences the
track of more than one bill has been lost in the
reporters gallery. This much however may be
said:
The Force bill did not pass
All the regular appropriation bills were
adopted.
1t is said that the House failed to concur in
some of the Senate's amendments to the Pen
sion bill and it was lost
At II o'clock the hurry of business had
ceased in the Senate, and the time was occu-
pied in the announcements Of signatures to en-
rolled bills aud other formalites.
The President attended in his room to sign
bills.
At ll.4O, Messrs. CoDklug and Thurman,
were appointed a committee to announce to the
President that the Senate was ready to adjourn.
The committee at noon returned and report
ed that the President had nothing to communl-
cate to the Senate, and at l2Ol the Vice
President declared the Senate Of the 43d Con-
gress adjourned without day.
The House of Representatives CLOSED its ses-
sion at the same time.
FORTY FOURTH CONGRESS.

early last night, was Informed by servant
that man was 10 the yard. Hastily taking
pistol from a case near by he ran out in his
slippers, and commenced making search of
his premises. While so engaged an unknown
man, who had until that time been concealed
u the tool house 10 the corner Of the garden,
ran by him to the front fence, over which he
Jumped and made his escape. Owing to the
pchy darkness prevailing the gentleman,
though he heard the robber run by him on the
snow, was unable to see him until Just before
he sprang over the fence, when he banged
away at him, but whether be hit him or not is
unknown
Two unknown men were discovered, between
twelve aud one o'clock last night, making an
attempt to enter the house Of MIR. Sandtord
Brown, on the west side of Lee street, between
Queen and Princess. The iumates-Women
aud children uly-were awakened by the
noise the thieves we're making, and alarmed
not only those they wished to drive away, but
the whole neghborhood, by their shrleks and
screams The police arrived after time and
searched the premises, but found nothing ex.
cept chise, which the thieves are supposed
to have left. One of the policemen remained
10 the house on guard during the rest OF the
night, and would, it is said, have captured the
thieves 10 second attempt, they are reported
to have made about four o'clock this morning,
had not the women and children again set up
their deateniDg and alarming cries.

was answered by Que in attendance, who i'm
