WASHINGTON. July l. 1872
THE ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS -PREPARA-
T1oNs FOR THE OHIO CAMPAIGN-ErFEcTs OF
THE VETO OF THE MARsHALs BILL.
Congress adjourned amid general good humor and
with no traces of bitter feeling between the men,
bers Of opposite parties The Ohio were
particularly glad to get away to begin the
summer and fall campaign. and tho repub-
icans seem inclined to meet General Ewng's
wishes by making the conspicuously on
the currency issue. The Congressional Committee
has ordered among other documents for distribution
In Ohio. 10000 copies OF each of Congressman Nor
toms two speeches silver, the one opposing the
free coinage of silver. the other opposing the re-
demption of trade dollars.
In some republican quarters 1t was pretended to-
day that the failure OF the marshals bill would
put stop to all proceedings in the fed
eral courts and infct terrible calamitics upon
the country. formidable list was published of
not less than eighteen instances in which the
United States. it asserted. would now lie de-
fenceess at the mercy of evil doers OF this
is all The veto message gave incidentally
some countenance to the fable, because the Pres-
dent recited in it the duties of marshals, which,
II there marshals. would of
remain undone But he did not pretend that these
duties and offices would be prohibited would re-
main unfulfied through the lack of appropria-
tion OF money, and he does not intend to disband
the force of marshals to order them not to act.
On the contrary. they will all go with
Ill their duties precisely as though the six
hundred thousand dollar bill had not been
vetoed by the President. and all their
legitimate expenses will doubtless be covered by a
deficiency bill at the next session. which, it is to be
hoped, the President will not veto. That is to say
the fact that the marshals bill vetoed does not
prohibit the marshals from acting in their lawful
capacities. but only delays their payment few
months. II it were otherwise the President would
either not have vetoed the bill he would have felt
obliged to call an extra session.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, July L. 1879.
The war which has existed in this city between the
Temperance and liquor interests took new turn to-
day. The temperance people had been led to expect
by the Board OF Excise Commissioners that the Ex-
else laws would be carried out the very letter.
and they accordingly collected testimony against
liquor dealer for violating the Excise laws. When
the case was brought before the Board it was dis
missed as being too frivolous for action The com.
plainants were Rev. o. II. Warren and 2. A. Ham
mond, attorney To-day notices were served on each
Excise Commissioner to the effect that at term or
Court to be held here July q mandamus would DO

the case as presented The beer and liquor dealers of
the city also held a meeting to-day and reorganized
by the election of George f. Warner president. This
association is composed of nearly two hundred
liquor dealers, representing capital OF SlOUJOOO.
pledged to make common cause against any enforce
nent of the Excise laws. serious division has
already occurred in the temperance ranks as to the
advsabty of taking legal proceedings to enforce the
laws. The legal movement is morally sustained by
majority of the clergy and also by the two female
temperance organizations.

CLOSING HOURS OF THE EXTRA sEssIoN--PE-
cULIAR SCENES RESULTING FROM MODERN
IMPROVEMENTS.
The two houses Of Congress struck their colors at
asrt Monday in December. The closing scenes were
such as usually attend the breaking up of session.
except so far as they were modified by "modern i'm
provements." For instance, ticket agents of the
several railroads leading out of Washington stood at
the doors Of the two houses and furnished such
members as wished the ccommodation through
tickets their homes and booked them at the same
time for chairs and berths in parlor sleeping cars
The difference between such scenes presented now
and those of fifty hundred years ago gave fresh
emphasis to the stheme of the illuminated pictures
hanging the walls depicting the progress of the
country between 1776 and 1876 In addition to these
railroad agents there in the crowd in the lobby
occasional "dun" anxious to see the Congress-
man whose creditor he stood for carriage hire for
lodging or for some other accommodation or luxury
supplied in the course of the session.
When the hand touched the figure five on the
clock Mr. Thurman dismissed the Senate with q
rather feeling little address. time for which was af
forded him by the ingenuity Of one of the door,
keepers. who twice put the clock hand back FIVE
minutes, this Joshua feat of making the sun stand
still for ten minutes being accomplished with the
aid of long stick, whose miraculous use was visible
to the crowd in the galleries.
In the House Mr.. Randall disappointed his aud
itors by very brief leavetaking. When his gavel
fell there general and. perhaps, defiant clap

licans seeming to say to the democrats -"You will
