Snecial Dispatch to The Chicaqo Tribune. Wasimsatoy, D. C., Jan. 6.—In the House, the session was long, tedious, and fruitices. It dovelojed two facte—frst, that tho Democrats will accopt no compromise upon tho Civil-Rights bill, but will resort to every ezpodient of legis- 1stion and to all filibustoring devicen to provent its passage; second, that tho stubborn partixan opposition of tha Democrats i likely £o #o unito the Itopublicsns that tho Civil-Hights bill, it possed at all, will witimately bo paseed by o very mearly poitisan voto, It at ono time scemed likely that the Civil-Righta quostion would be decided to-day, gud that the issue would bo a contost of mere physical endurance. Mr. Becl, oarly in the day, gava notice that be would filibuster until the 4th of March to provent a vote upon the Civil- Rights bill. It scemed possible at ono tima that both sidos of tho Touse would eatchs his rezolute spirit, and that tho flibustering would continue through the night, bus tho Ilouss became so thinped by hupger in tho closiug hours of tho day that Ben Butler, y who himself * had tho Civil-Rights bill in chago, moved an. adjournment. Early in the forenoon Lion Butler™ moved to procesd to bueiness on the Spenler's table. His purposo was to reach the Senato. Civil-Rights bill, and to move {o substituto for:! it tho peculinr, composito bili agroed to by the Judiciary Committoe, and, after a roasonable timo for discuesion, to put this latter bill upon ite passage. This purpose seemed to be a rea- monable one, in view of the fact that the Bouato Civil-Rights bil), in 1ts present position, ODSIRLCTS LEGISLATION, and of the further fuct that thero is an undoubt- ed majority in tho 1Touse in favor of tho paseage of some Civil-Rights bill; but the Democrats seom determined not to pormit a vote, and, it, must be conceded, were moro reeotute in. their determination than the Ropublicans ; thoy wore united o tboir purpose, which was not & fact with their opponcats, _With tho excoption of & short timo spont in tha’ Committeo of tho Whole upon tho - Army Appropriation bill, tho major portion of tho day was consumed in these filibustering mancuvros of tho Domocrats. ‘Thero were motious ot all orte—motions to adjourn, to ndjourn to a dey corlom, to take recess to different timos, and, upon all of this series of motipns, tho LONG AND TIRESOME ROLL-CALL was ordored. Tho Democrats could not have de- vised a mora potent measure to unite tho Heput- lican yote in favor of the bill than the abstruc- tioniat tactics to which thoy rcsorted, In the eariy part of the duy thio votas upon the dilatory motions of {he Democraty were non-partisan, but, 38 the obstinacy of the Domocrats began to np- oar purposeleas, tho Republicans wers no nnited iint, fater in the day, the reil-call showed tho votes Lo be strictly partisan, BECK TIOROUGULY OUTGEXERALED, The Louisiana question received incidental mention in the Honko in the bricf dobats upon the Army bill.

This Lrought Bock aud the Democrats from Heylla to Charybdis, ss they bad all voted to go into Cominittee of tha Whole upon the Army bill, in order to avold tho QivileRights Lall, and by this adroit move of Wheoler thoy wers all brought bick faco to faco with tho odious ClvileRights Lill, the adjournment leaving tho Civil-liglte questjon whiere the mornlug bad found it.

The Col- oulsts were to be pubished for their sympathy with the Confedorates, by what waa deemed to bo & deatbblow to their cominerco, Yery many people in the Prosiuces were seriously alarmed, There was grest ansiety regarding tho fato of the treaty, and gloomy forebodings as to the commercial fntarc. At this timo, a Ilalifax newspaper published an edi‘orial, in whick it at- tempted to prove that tho treaty was quito aa valuable to the United Htates an to the Prov- inccs 3 and, furtber, that the Provinces would renlly Lenefit Ly its abrogation. 1t wag shown that, Whilo tho United States were giouted valuable fishery privileges in tho waters of Britieh North Ametics, thore granted in return wero of no value; that, wiule Ameri- can vessels were allowed to enter the I'rovincial coasting trade, a like privilege was nnt granted to Colomial shipping; and that many articies 1mported from the United Htates, tho materials for which wero first exported, might Le maan- factored at home, thun adding to the weaith and resonrces of the country, iuetcad of rcuding moncy abroad for the manufacture of its own products. Fho articlo which gave expresgion to thoso views was much comicuted onm, but generally condemuned. Many of the shrowdest business-men of Ilalifax took- od wupon thess opinioos ae illogical, unsound, ond positively dangerons. It wan thought sirangs that a Provincial newspaper should lave been guilty of such heresy as to oven hint at & desire for the tetmination of tho treaty. If tho treaty was put an end to, all would be loet,—the I'rovinces would Le utterly ruined.

WHAT BECIPROCITY DID. Tho jmmediate eMect of tho Reciprocity treaty of 1854 was to traneter to the merchouts nnd traders of the United States s Jarga proportion of o growing direct trade which had cXisted be- tweou tho Provinces, Ra:h Province then had a diferent currency and n wifferent tariff. Goods imported to ono I'rovince frowm avotber paid the same dutios as if from = foreixn country. Manufactures wers at a very low ebb indeed, ‘) he raw matarial was exportod to the Umted Statos, manufactured there, and roturned, Nova Beotia, in particular,—which, with its nobla liarbors, vast coal-mines, and aburdant wa- ter-power, socms to have been epecial- ly desigued for a manufacturing coun- try,—manufactured nothing. Soma of Ler public buildings were built of grauite brought from Scotland, although this stonc is abundant in the Province, ‘They were erected, however, many years ago, when tho Colony was in jis ju- faucy, Butitis not very long sluco Nova Scotin was importing brick fiom New England, al- though, withun a few hundred yards of where these cargoea were discharged, at the port of Hulifax, thore waa an abundance of brick-clay directly at the water's edge. 8he exported lime- rock aud imported lime: and so with many othor articled. And 0 it was witlitho other Provinces. ‘I'ho clock which ticked on the manto lover tle Luge country-tireplace, the Enad wifo'a rocking- chair, the convonient utensils,—all came from the United States, Although Nova Beotia is ono of the fincst frumt-growing countries in the world, her people wero imbued with tho idea that thora was some peculiar virtuo in * Bogton apples ™ which did not Leloug to those which ripenod and blushed crimeon or gleamed liko golt through the groeu loaves of mative orchaids.

Now the smuggling ie the oilier way, and Drovincial revouues are therevy doubly Lenctited: First, by tho cessation of mnuggling into the Provinoes, Socondly by tho Tovenue acoruing from the imcreaved importa to supply this illegal trafic, And so groat is tho extent of torritory to guad that notbiog shert of a very costly and slmost im- possitie cordon of custom-houses can provent smugglivg o the Cauadiau frontier. ¥or thia reason alono, our Recipocrity lrult{ with tho Psovinco was both politic and valuuble.

In the succonding events, which in atage epitume folloy rapiily, the inflicnce of the urand pasaion I4 traced with deepening force until tho tuird act, where it aseortg its tnil sway; sad thon in the scene of violent emotion, of biiler contlict betweon 1ove and self-respect. inclination and dutv, the gicl is merged into the woman, and tho roena hina a climat of snch powet as wa have soen in Camide, This passionate chmax ls reactied by the most artiatic steps. and hifts ons with it to a syinpathy aud emotion of irreaistible force. ‘Tho succeeding ast in ono of horror and dismav, not wanting in interest, but, wiile equally mubtlo fn art, yet not 88 powers ful in ji effect as tho former ons. The contrasts are sharper, but tho iotereat Is rather Listorical than emotionil, It is not & matier to o lightly passed over that so completely is tho acizows abuorhed in the charactershis porsonaten, that when Alize weeps tears flow copiourly down Mien Motri' cheous, a3 well 28 these of otber mympathetic witnesses of the uceno. The feel ing of the artist, who s but a vehicle of moro or lecs perfect mechaniam, I8 overposerad by her sympathy with the cliaracter fur whose actious &ho is but the medium, It iy pot pleazing to record the fact that the support generally wan rather wesk. Ihough thn crincipal rojos wers iu ths hands of accom- pli-liad artists, they were not alwats upon tho stage. and there were important charactors iu- trusted to nctors who barely wndaratoad, and in no way interpreted- them, " To these who had mevcr secn the play, thero must have beon anab- sance of mative, an incoug-uity, and Inck of sym- metry, whivli obseured tho iacidents, and gavo oaly gl.mj:acs of tho meaning of tho biny. Tlow- ever, tho exyinsito acting of the herolns atoned for the blidness of somp of tho others, and loté overybuily satintied and willing to iznore the lessor lights. **Alixo wilt bo ropeatod to-night.
