Our Washington Letter. With the exception of a national convention which fuses suddenly upon the Presidential nomination of a Polk, a Pierce, or a Hayes, there is no spectacle in this country so de pressing to a believer in republican government as the ordinary close of a session of Congress adjourned sine die yesterday morning at o'clock, the delay being caused in the en grossment of the Sundry Civil bill'. The scenes in the House during the closing hours were of the wildest de scription, many. of the members be* ing decided^' tne worse for liquorr Everything tvas confusion and dis order, and after two o'clock recesses were taken every other hour as a means of restoring ortfer and bring ing members to their serines. The galleries were thronged throughout the night, and the drunken rihaldtf of many of the spectators addVd to the din. Many captions and unim* portant amendments were made to the sundry civil biftr and it kept os cillating between the two houses every two or three notrfs. During the recesses in the Houses, tbe pages joined by members, amirsed them selves by singing comic sbngff, and the galleries joining in the choruses, made the welkin ring. From indi cations the proceedings of the House may be aptly described as a H. 0. F."high old time." The Senate relaxed somewhat from its customary dignity, but was a convent of quiet and order in com parison witft the other end of the capitol. While waiting upon the House, several unimportant bills were disposed of, and at 7 o'clock the hands of the clock were turned back for about ten mihtftes in ofder to allow action of a few* miflor^ no minations just made by the Presi dent. The Senate went into execu tive session, confirmed the nomina* tions and upon opening the doors, adjourned. President Hayes remained in his room on the Senate side all night up to the very minute of adjournment, the last bill he signed being the one providing for a commission to select a new site for the National Observa tory. A good joke is told on the President. He had made all ar rangements to attend the commence ment of Princeton College, which takes place to-day, and where his son is to graduate. He was also looked for a speech,there. With this id^a in view he had gone to the Balti more and Potomac depot last night, and was about to board the 9 o'clock Northern express, when he was captured by a committee of Sena tors and hustled off to the Capitol, where he was detained all night signing bills. It may be imagined that his feelings were not of the pleasantest. The disgraceful scenes which sig nalized the last memorable night session will long be remembered, and if the names of those who figured most perminently in these Buccha nalian orgies are not given to the public, it is only because a.feeling of* patriotism and a sense of indignant shame, which brings the flush of anger to the cheek has led the repre sentatives of the great papers in our cities to fling a charitable mantle of oblivion over the crying vices which ill-informed foreigners might pos sibly suppose to be national. They form, alas, the outward ma nifestations of a dread disease, whose roots mournful spectacles are but the outcome and expression of those deadly symptoms which mark the feverish restlessness of a disjointed time, for when public decency is doa far forgotten by the chosen law givers of the nation, it is because the ciric virtues which riiade that nation great and glorious have been laid aside like cumbraus and forgotten garments in the Cave of Cirde. This congress which has been in almost constant session since the 151h of last October (eight months,) has ac cording to the saying of Senator Bayard, done less good and less harm than many persons expected. In fact one of its chief merits is that it has done very little its sins are mostly sins of omission. Aside from the River and Harbor bill, it is guilty of not a single job and the lobby has done no business at all at this long session, for the river and Harbor bill is a job which needs no lobby. People who imagine that the business of a legislative body is to pass as many laws as possible will be disgusted with the beggarly ac count of the acts of the Forty-fifth Congress. j^| But the more sensible people, who remember that Con gress is never so near to a blunder as when it votes and that debate is its real busing wilt be thankful to .-^aM-ai^n i^aSmmmmmm ^mJOtm THE NATIONAL PARK. DfeprActations Committed by Vandal Tburists Letter front Gen. Brisbin. Chicago Infer Oeean. Gen. Brisbin, of the Second caval ry, writes from Fort Ellis, Montana, a long complaint, which will be brought under the notice of the secre tary of war, in regard to depredations committed in the national park by vandal tourists. He says that every year much damage is done by them in the national park in Montana, and that unless measures are soon taken to put a stop to the destruction the park will not long be worth preserv ing. "No where on earth," says thegeneral? "are such wonders and such quantities of game to be found, and it will be a.shame if tne nation al authorities permit them to be de stroyed. There are now in the park thousands of elk, so tame that a per son can ride or walk about among them." The general says that one hunter has slaughtered as many as seventy-five of these animals in one day. They are not butchered for their meat and hide, but solely for sport. Besides the elk there are ante lopes, deer, mountain sheep, and bears of all kinds. Flocks of 60 and one hundred mountain sheep are met with every day. The basins of the geysers have been hudred of years in forming and a man can destroy, in one day what cannot be reproduced in three times the space of his life. Many of the deposits are white mineral, tinged with gray, largely composed of alumina. Much of it is arranged in lay ers of several inches in thickness, bound together by alternating layers of siliceous sinter". Tbe action of the waters of ilife geysers arid influ ence of the weather have induced ah irregular cellular structure, Which gives a delicate and attractive' ap pearance to much of it. These for mations are soft, and can be ctlt with saw or broken by a hammer, and huge blocks are cut or broken and carried away every yea*. Sdme of the most beautiful formations have already been entirely destroyed, and can never be replaced. Tne dispo sition to vandalism seems to possess nearly every one who enters the park, and unless it is checked ouf wonder land must soon cease to be ah object of interest. The general recommends that im mediate action be taken to prevent depredations by tourists. The en trances are easily guarded, end a ser geant and four men should be placed there ori the Virginia City side, and an equal number on the Bose man side..^ I is also recommended tbat a soldier be sent with each party of visitors entering the park, to take note of damage done, and re port. The laws of Montana and Wyoming aresufficiently severe tode ter any one from damaging the park. The report of Gen. Brisbin is in dorsed by Gen. Terry and Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, and a reccommen dation is made that all practical means be employed to put an end to the destruction of this property. W*Mf*^PU 'I'll have got off so well. The present Congress has done but little harm, if it lias done absolutely no good. Considering that over four thou sand bills were offered in the House alone during the eight months, and that numerous* jobs pressed for re cognition, the coMtftry has reason to be thankful that so little was done. The House Committee on Expend itures in the Interior Department called in April last for a list of per sons employed in that Department, who are related one to another by blood or marriage, to which Sefcre tary Schurz has just made answer, from which it appears titat there are employed under him in this city 12 persons wh are related as brothers in-law and sristers-dn**law eight as father-ia-few and sott-in-lawj 20, brother-in-laws, eight sistevs1, four fathers and* sons, six brothers- and sisters, fourteen nephews and uncles, twelve" brothers, six fathers and daughter*,- six uncles and nieces, 2 aunt aaM niece, two mother-in-law and son-in-law, two mother and son. Total, 102. This is a very good showing for a single Department, and evinces an uncommon affection among the persons employed, especi ally on the part of the amiable in dividual who secured a place for his mother-in-law. It would be inte resting reading to have an analysis of the number of the above who are related to bureau autocrats, chief cferks, appointment clerks and chiefs of divisions. It is to be hoped that the Other executive department will define their position on this affec tion-ate family theme. EDWARD. ^^rfFrvr^x1* *-*,****.VJW* -*"rXrj *.*r*~tM PROBATE NOTICE.
