Violation Of the Rsprsmlon Act.

WASHINGTON, August li.-The departure
Of Congress has been followed by TINT Of
the President and most Of tho Cabinet.
All the heads OF the Departments arc now
away except Lincoln and Chandler. The
Inter will leave tomorrow on the Talla.
poosa for tour OF inspection OF Southern
naval stations. Heads OF Bureaus have
followed the example Of their supcriors,
and many OF them are now absent for their
usual summer rest and recleation. The
clerical force OF the Government is also
greatly reduced, as many rs can be spared
having taken the regular leave Of thirty
days to which each is entitled under depart.
ment regulations each year. Most Of the
prominent citizens not connected with tho
Government have taken advantage Of tho
dull season for visit TO the watering
places, or gone abroad. These nil added
to the army Of hangerson about Congress,
who left at once after adjournment, have
made great difference in the population
Of Washington, which now wears tho ap.
pearance OF a deserted village. Even the
negroes have caught the contagion, and
hundreds OF them are OF to camp.meet-
ings, as are also many OF their white breth.
ren. Still the wheels OF the Government
roll on, and Washington being ut least the
nominal axis, there are enough remaining
TO keep the laws from decay till the weather
brings back the absent ones, and tho re-
assembling OF Congress gives lie and
activity to the place once more.
