Closing Up Business In Congress.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Awhile most of the
members of Congress have left Washington
there is still goodly number in town. These
are busy through the departments closing up
business for their constituents. During the
last week or two of Congress their time has
been pretty much occupied by the business OF
the session, and the departmental work
which falls to the senator and representative
has been very much neglected. The rooms
of heads of departments and heads Of bu-
reaus were thronged Saturday with congress
men busy calling up their individual cases
and getting things into ship-shapee, SO that that
they can leave on their vacation. This VIII
continue for several days yet, and gradually
dwindle down to the summer routine OF vlsl-
tors as usual.
While, however, very little business can be
transacted in the departments, excepting That
on which congressman are specially bent,
they are besieged by employees who hail
from their districts or respective States Tor
endorsement, fol, promotion and for reten-
tion. In short, the congressman's life while
he is yet in town will be about as active as it
was during the last week of the session.

crippIed soldiers Must Go.

There are IA places on the doorkeeper's
list of house employees which are now filled
by crippled ex-soldiers. These positions
have been regarded with longing by poll
ticians and their friends, but attempts to
make vacancies therein have been prevented
for years past by provision in the appropri-
alton bills, which required that no removals
should be made from among the doorkeeper.s
or as it is called, from the soldiers roll until
the reasons therefor were laid before the
house. In the last legislative appropriation
bill this provision, it is said, was omitted,
and the story is in circulation that Doorkeep-
er Donelson intends to remove 10 of the old
soldiers on or before the 10th inst, and that
he has promised three of the places to Mr.
Holman, three to Mr.. Morrison and the other
four to Democratic members of the. New
York delegation. The friends of the crippled
veterans are much excited about the report
