THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Congress has after all its furry and both
er adjourned, and now the country like
Washington, we presume, will settle down
into state of tranquility and equilibrium.
Barely quorum remained in either house
to perform the concluding ceremonies of
Tuesday, and few Of these Worthies staid
"A hours with US, so intent and anxious
were they to bid us an atfectionate fare
well and shake our dust from their shoes.
Doubtless they have farms needing their
personal attention as was the case lately
with Secretary Sherman. The evening
trains were filed with them and save 3 few
of the wheel horses to whom the Seheut-
zenfest offered greater attractions than
home interests, our city is as deserted, in
appearance in 50 far as our Solons are con-
corned, as Tara's Halls.
The Scheutzenfest is in full blast. In
other years the Germans held this festival
in August and invariably selected a week
in which the rain falls sadly interfered with
their festivities and often narrowed their
door receipts down to a non-paying point.
To avoid these untoward events the first
week in July was selected this year and
aside from the warmth the weather has
been simply magnificent. Last night we
saw quite a number of Senators and mem
bers participating at the grand banquet
given to the inYited guests by the members,
MIR. VOORHEES,, Mr.. Garfield and others who
in the Capitol are at swords point on all
political questions were cheek by ioWl in
good fellowship and eloquent responses to
the toasts proposed for them. Democrat
and Republican alike buried their animosi-
ties in the brilliantly decorated grounds of
the German lover of amusement and good
will, and their aimable intermingling re-
minded one Of many fray in the Capitol
where q visit to the restaurant was the f.
male Of the fercest personal attack in de-
bate. We did not see Mr., Oscar Turner of
KY, who occupied a large portion of the
last hours Of the House in making per-
sonal explanation to show that he did not
drink liquor and had not been drunk at any
time during this session. Lager beer may
not have had any destinations for such as
he and could not therefore tempt him to
remain over night with US.
Mr.. Hayes, like his predecessors is an
object OF solicitude to others than crack
Drained legislators. A Miss Emeline No
BILE, Of Fremont, Ind, came here to marry
him, and though assured that he was al
ready married man said that made no
difference as satisfactory arrangement
could be made for him to have two wives.
But her pleading proved Intellectual and
she was started homeward under the pro-
lection of police officer where it is hoped
she will remain. But it is unfortunate that
other theorists rmad as March hares" even
though their insanity is covered up by the
broad cloth Of legislators cannot be as eff
feetually squelched as she was. We feel
sure that every session Of Congress springs
upon US schemes as wild an insane as the
notion Of this mad woman, and there is
! just as much need for cool heads to sup
press the one as the other.
Mrs. Crandall, the wife Of the editor of
the National Vie1U-the Greenbackers or
gan over which our temperance Solon Mr..
Turner became recently so much exercised
was recently sued in our courts for an
alleged deficiency of several thousand dol
dars in her accounts as treasurer Of char
table association in which she has for years
taken an active part. Il appears now that
ONE one is trying to get her position and
that the old, old story Of alleged embezzle-
melt is merely sn invention Of the enemy.
