A Gloomy View OF the Closing Weeks
Of Congress,

The following is the closing paragraph
from the Wnuseon Erpositor's Washington
correspondent, Democratic, which presents
rather gloomy picture for the reflection
of the constituents of the 46th Congress, in
the closing weeks of its arduous labors:
This week has not been eventful from
the national legislative point of view But
little business has been transacted; the
Senate. the House and the committees are
both behind with their work. If the truth
must be told, the national Congress is dis.
sipated There are too many wild young
members from the country, and too many
festive old rakes from the city, in the House
and in the Senate. III il were possible to
get the essence of candor from these gentle
men, they would confess that their main
object here in Washington is not to trans.
act business for 50,000,000 people, but have
a good time; that they regard the work OF
Committees and Congressional sessions very
much as thoughtless boys do the confine
ment OF the school room. This is the way
alone IN which so much absenteeism can
be accounted tor, and the reason why MEM
bers and Senators are listless, sick and un-
fit for work may he explained, nine times
in ten, by the fact that they have spent the
previous night in debauchery, or in what
is not much less hurful social dissipation.
The experience of the reader will bear me
out in the assertion that an average man
cannot dance all night and be fit for work
next day; neither can he eat, drink and
carouse around at saloons, brothels, gamb-
ling houses, or political symposia, and have
a clear head for legislative work. If the
average member OF Congress is none too
bright at best, what must it be when worn
out and fuddled? Debauchery and social
dissipation is prevalent in official and po-
litical life to dep.orable extent in Wash
ingten. / do not say that it is worse than
1t has been, or that 1t is increasing. l d.
not know. Unfortunately we have, and
can have no statistics. 1 only know that
it is bad, and that | have not overdrawn
| the picture,

WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. %, 'S1.
The long suspense is over. The Presi-
dent has been duly naugurated, mis- cab
net selected, and confirmed without oppo
sition by Democratic Senate. 1t causes
much less surprise than it would have
done Tour months ago. The appointments,
one and all, are generally satisfactory, and
upon the whole, are considered very good
Mr.. Blaine, MS Secretary OF State, needs no
encomium, he is better known than any
man in America. His views are broad
and enlightened, and he has the Nations
future at heart. We shall look TO him for
the growth of amity and trade with Ma
tions, a revival OF our commerce and ship
building interests, and n restoration of our
commercial prestige upon the seas.
The appointment of Mr.. Window to the
Treasury Department, is guarantee that
in the collection and disbursement OF our
revenues a safe, wise and prudent course
will be pursued. The Cabinet officer that
will give the greatest amount of satisfae-
tion, to the people at large and to the ag-
ricultural and mining interests OF the
country, will be the new Secretary of the
Interior, Samuel l. Kirkwood, of Iowa, or
as he is lamiliarly known, the War Gov
ernor." Conservative in politics, possessed
of good, hard, white oak sense, and per-
fectly free from the visionary theories OF
which his predecessor was filled. He is a
man of great intellect, iron will, unhincll.
ing integrity, practical wisdom, large and
varied experience, and is just the man for
the place. The practical and the merely
theoretical have never been brought int
more conspicuous comparison than they
will be by the entrance into the interior
Department OF Kirkwood to succeed
Schurs.
Postmaster James has not yet accepted
the portfolio of Postmaster General, bn
will undoubtedly do 80 to-day. He will
bring 10 his position fine business qualities
and good name. His administration o.
the New York Postotice has been adinira
able, and it being the largest in America
and the third largest in the world, his ex
perience there will render him doubl,
qualified to superintend his new depart
ment with all its ramifications.

WAsHINGToS, March 6.-Senator Wind
ON was formerly an Ohisan, citizen OF
Mount Vernon, and Senator Kirkwood
citizen OF Mansfield, in the adjoining conn
ty. Judge Hunt WAS a citizen of the West
ern Reserve. Window went direct 70 Min

became the leaders OF their party in their
respective States. Foster was not chosen /;
but il he had been he would have made the
fourth OF the Ohio quota in the Cabinet.
Under the circumstances his omission can
not be regai ded AZ defeat for OHIO. 1t Is
scarcely more than twenty years since the
three other Ministers were residents OF the
Buckeye State, and all OF them grew to
maturity there. Senator Grimes, OF Iowa,
predecessor Of Kirkwood. !. also emigrated
from Mansfield to Iowa, ex Governor Bebb
