~“ WASHINGTON CLOSING SCENES IN CONGRESS. Nominations Confirmed in the Senate. Bailey and Wadsworth Thrown Over by the Adjournment. A Night of Dissipation and a Day of Dull Headaches in the House. PASSAGE OF THE CUBAN RESOLUTION, U Fierce Talk Between Butler, Logan and Schenck. WasurnoTon, April 10, 1869. Closing Scenes in the House=Sam Ward’s Midnight Feast—A Brilliant Trio—Tilt Be- $ tween Generals Logan, Butler and Schenck—Passage of Banks’ Resolution of { Sympathy with Cuba. " ‘The closing scenes in the House were both excit- ing and ludicrous. After midnight, when the galier- tes began to thin out, members threw aside the little restraint and reserve which the presence of persons in the galleries seems to impose. Their con- if possible less dignified, ana their general bearing and demeanor se “Well, we are alone now, and we will do please.’ By one o’clock everybody had ict except afew negroes who were asleep in the gallery just behind the clock and a man scattered here and there, besides a few reporters who seen:ed deter- Mined to see the thing out. Jt was notice.vle, about this time, that many members were #vsent from their seats. Sometimes it was difficu’: when the House was dividing to getaquorum. ‘ihe ex- planation was to be found in the fact that up in the Jaw library of the House Sam Ward, Butler’s “Bis- marck, Jr.,’? of impeachment notoriety, had set out an elegant lunch, with plenty of champagne to wash it down, to which he invited all the members, without distinction of party. Juagt back of the lobby is the room of the Sergeanteat-Arms, Colonel Ordway. Here, too, ‘was a lunch, 'strictly temperance, though; oniy coffee to be had in the way of beverages. It was of a more public nature than Sam Ward's, for Ordway’s invi- tation extended to all the members and employés of the House, even down to the little pages. With Ord- ‘Way's attraction at one side of the hali, and that of Sam Ward at the other, Mr. Speaker blaine was forced to orser “tellers” on nearly every demand for a division of the House. About two o'clock the hail of the House resembled a huge smoking room; nearly everybody had a cigar tm bis mouth, and was pufling away vigorously, a3 if legisiative inspiration and wisdom was to be gathered from the weed. Some members were sit- ting with their feet upon the desks; others walked nervously around the hail, casting sharp glances towards the Speaker's desk now and again, as if ‘watching when their ‘little bill” would be reached on the Speaker's table; still others stretched them- selves upon the sofas and went to sleep. One bill after another was taken up and disposed of. Dut few measures got through without resistance. The democrats, maddened by the success of the majority in ousting their political colleagues and chagrined at the passage of the Vir- ginia, Mississippi and Texas Keconstruction bill with the hated Morton amendment to it, were in no humor to facilitate the passage of other measures in which they had littic or no interest. Motions for a receas, followed by demands for a @ivision, tellers and the yeas and nays, wero of fre- quent occurrence. So often was the roll called that both the regular reading clerks became hoarse an had to be relieved by fresh recruits. When Schenck arose to make his report from the Conference Com- mittee on the Supplementary Whiskey and Tobacco ‘Tax bill the members were generally in their seats; the respective lunches of Sam. Ward and Colonel Ordway had given out; members who had Jatd down early in the evening to take a nap woke up and resumed their cigars; everything assumed an air of business, and there was a manifest intention to do some work, though it was then close on to three o'clock in the morning. Schenck proceeded to explain and advo- cate the committee’s report, and manifestly antici- pated but little opposition, He was suddenly set upon, however, by Generals Logan and Butler, who not only depounced the Committee 8 report, but tn- sinuated er broadly that the new Commissioner of Internal Reveuue, the conference committee and the chairman of the Ways and Means Cotrittee himself, were not adove suspicion nor by any means ‘aa honest as they should be, ‘This aroused Schenck’s sluggish Dutch blood, and rising, with mis fists clenched and his square jaws set lixe those of a bull dog, he commenced in a sarvastic vein to portray the immaculate honesty of his assatiants, Towards the close of his speech he lost his temper a lite ana became somewhat personal in his remarks, speak- ing of some men who added “cowardice to false- hood.” General Logan was sitting a few feet behind Schenck with lus feet upon the desk, half asieep, Schenck’s#sharp tones awakened him—and jumping hastily to his fect, he exclaimed: “I want to know if the gentleman from Ohio al- ludes to me, when he speaks of cowardice and falschooa?” Schenck, at the begmning of his speech had given notice that he did not want to be interrupted, but the deflant tone of Logan’s interrogatory brought Schenck to a sudden halt; and, after pausing a suflicient time to allow Logan to get hia question in, he answered, “No, sir, Ido not.” General Butier was smoking a cigar and hobnobdbing with his former "rethren on the demo- cratic side of the House, when Bingham, who was in Jolly humor, cried out, ‘Butler, he means you,’’ Butler turned suddenty and walked at a rapid stride towards his own seat on the republican side of the House. He reached it just in time to get ina question at Schenck, who was about to start off again on the rampage. He was less direct than Logan, who went to the Chairman of the Ways and Means in true soldierlike style. Instead of saying, “Does the gentleman from Ohio vefer to me when he speaks of cowardice and faisehood ?” he merely said, Ina good hymored way, “Woes the gentioman pot know that the Pharisee once said? 4 thank God that Iam not as other men!’ Had Butler been as biunt in his inquiry as Logan, he would, it is said, have been told “Thou art (he man.” As it was, Schenck retorted upon hia more flercely than ever, and added the word “hypo- erisy” to the words “cowardice and falsehood.’ Butier made no response, but went away smoking his cigar as complacently as if nothing had hap- pened, as if no insult had been put upon him, This served to encourage Schenck, and he ‘went on talxing, as everybouy knew, at butier wf the most cutting style. At twenty-flve minutes past three, when the mem. bers were literally worn ont with the labors and excitement of the day, the House took a recess until ten o'clock this morning. At that hour there was nothing like a quorum in the hall, and those who ‘Were present gave marked tokens of having been out late the previous night, Some, tt was thought, showed signs of having been more than once at Sam Ward's lunch room, The whole crowd looked rather “hard,” and evidently not in the best of humor. Many of them bad thelr carpet bags on their desks, 80 as to be teady to leave on the noon train for thew homes, It was an unfortunate time for oMce-seeking constituents to ask members to ‘sign’? for them, and many a poor fellow of this class going up t) his member, whom he had left in good temper the day before, was fear- NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, APRIL 11, 1869—QUADRUPLE SHEET. it and am im no humor to look after your case | General Hetntzelman vindicated by Generals Gai fa dood, shall be the same ap om sign tem» NEW YORK LEGISLATURE, * covered in ene oub-cellans ct the file stony oewn now.” The majority were in as livtie humor for legislative bugimess as they were for signing petitions for office seekers, Fortunately, all the important business had been transacted the mght before. The galleries were as crowded as if it was the opening instead of the closing day of the session. General £anks’ Cuban admirers, male and female, were in the diplomatic box, just where they sat last night, and it seemed as if they had not stirred from that spot through thelong night. The briliiant black eyes of the ladies, who seem more enthusiastic than the menin this business, were fixed upon Banks, and every movement of his seemed of interest to them, They were not kept long in suspense, for very soon after the House was called to order the chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs arose and otfered the long-looked-for resolution relative to Cuba. Objection was made, of course, but Banks is an adept in parliamentary tactics, and he soon had the rules suspended, and the resolution was passed by a vote of more than two- thirds, This was the only business of importance transacted. The remainder of the time was spent in fruitless efforts to get in pet resolutions and to push through the numerous little jobs that always come with the confusion and rush attending the close of a session, It was too late, however, when this began, and while a dozen gentlemen were yel- ling at once at the top of their voices, “Mr. Speaker |” the Speaker's gavel came down, and the first session of the Forty-first Congress was at an end. There was an immediate rush for the train, and scores of members, lobbyists, office hunters and idle visitors crowded the cars bound north and west, Concluding Hours of the Senate Session. The last two hours of the Senate Bession this fore- noon, between ten o’clock and noon, were unmarked by anything wortny of special notice in the way of legislation. Most of the Senators looked decidedly Played out; some of them were evidently In a very “elevated” condition, and a few snoozed away in their chairs unmindiul of what was going on around them, Scenes in the Executive Session—New York City Nominations Not Acted Upon. Both honses remained 1n session to such alate hour this morning as to prevent giving any but the meagrest account of what tuok place, ‘The doors of the Senate remained closed until four o'clock, the Senators being occupied all that time in discussing nomina- Uons sent to them by the President. The debate on some or the names was more than warm; it was occasionally sharp and personal, especially about James M. Ashley, candidate for the Montana Gov- ernorship; also three or four of the New York nomt- nees, including Batley and Wadsworth. Before the Senate took its recess at four A, M. the anxious expectants for contirmation had gradually withdrawn from the lobbies of the Senate and the only occupant of the waiting room was Bailey, nominated for Collector of the Thirty-second New York district, the richest gift In the revenue service, who evidently went in for fighting it out on that line ff 1t took till daybreak. The coalition, however, between Fenton and Raymond, as exemplified in this nomination, failed to work in a satisfactory manner, for the ire of Conkling was aroused and the senior Senator from New York succeeded in smashing up the slate for the time being by allowing all the city nominations to expire with the fall of the gavel. Whether Grant will renominate these New York gentlemen, who have caused so much trouble among the Senators, or whether he will withdraw them, is a question by no means easily answered, The Baileyites assert that his name and those of all the other New York nominees, except Wadsworth, will be sent to the Senate again on Monday next; on the other hand, the anti-Baileyites state that it is almost a certainty that Grant will withdraw the names of such men as Baliey and Wadsworth, azainst whom charges ofa serious nature have Leen partially sustained, sooner than involve the two New York Senators in a di(tt- culty, which could not eastly be adjusted and which from present appearances is looming up in the future. President Grant at the Capitol. The President came to the Capitol about ten o'clock this morning, accompanied by Secretaries Fish and Boutwell, Attorney General Hoar and nis two secretaries, Messrs. Poiter and Babcock, and _ the party were occupied up to the time of adjourn- ment in examining the various bills preseated to the President for his approval.

The Secretary of State has now finished his labors in overhauling the mass of applications for oMce fled in his department. The foreign slate has been made up and ail further applications are entirely unneces- sary. A number of new candidates appeared to-day and yesterday, and looked rather blank when in- formed that ali the places had been Mled. The Sec- retary eXpresses great surprise at the peculiar fitness of the majority of the applicants for the post tons they sought, and feels very much gratified at the prospect thus presented of sending abroad a corps of able and creditable representatives, The largest number of applications were for places on the Continent, particularly France, Switzerland and Italy, It is at present understood that the entire batch will be sent to the Senate early in the ensuing week.

The liberating forces are again push ing their operations in the vicinity, and with the small number of troops here, barely sufficient for garrsion duty, the Catalan volunteers are beginning to feel less enthusiasm and confidence in their ability to extinguish the revolution.

Tue position of the Spaniards is said to be precarious. + Not long since forty Spanish soldiers deserted with all their arms and accoutrements, quitting the garrison of Palma Soria no to swell the ranks of th¢ insurgents. Of course the Spaniards and their syin+ pathizers are anxious to conceal such events, but the truth prevails at last. The column commanded by Colonel Lopez Camara, after several fights, entered Mayari. but the insurgenta are encamped at Bucury, whence small detachments lesue daily to harass the troops, Lopez Camara lately made a requisition for steamers to return to Santiago de Cuba in, because he was afraid to go byl land, as the patriots stoppea his march. But inas« much as there are not suiticleat steamers here for the transportation of the 800 men composing hi column the sieamer Guantanamo was seut with twi cannons, ammunition and a few more soldiers.
