THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL, A DAY WASTED IN THE oUt Speetat Dispateh to The Chicaga Tribune, Wasurnatoy, D. C., Jan. 27.—The proceed- Ings in tha House to-day aro dercribod in tho ward " filibustering.” King Caucus was more succesafal than yesterday. Tho resolution of the caucus of last night relative to the Civil Lights bill was obeyed. Directly the journal was read, Gon. Butlor, as Chairman of tho Judiciary Committco aud organ of the Republic- an caucus, moved to reconsider tho voto where- by the Iouso Civil Rights bill was recommit- ted to tho. Judiciary Committoo. Tho Democrats immediately indicated thelr readiness to malo good their pledges. A series of filibuatering movement was begun, to which at the closo of tho day session there scemed likely to bono ond. Tho Pprocesdings consisted almost entirely of roll. calls, onlivened by occasional expressions, both of humor and ill-fecling, Geu. Butlor took charge of tho parliamoutery movements on tho part of tho Republicans, and Sam Randall on be- half of tha Democrals. Charley Eldredge, of Wisconsin, occasioually endeavored to supersede Landall, and, when he did, mada bad work of it, ‘wie, by blundering motions, Eldredge noarly lost to the Deniocrata their yantogo ground’ This the Republicans wonld have to their own bonofit, had vot Beck speedily rescued Eldredge from ius diletyma. Late in the day Butler ab- tained upanimous consent to SUGGEST A TRUCE. His proposition was of a complicated parlia- Tmontary nature, the effect of which would have beon to have permitted six hours’ dobate ou tho Ciyil-Righte bill, aud intermediate motions, most of which would bo given to the Democrats. Sum Randall, speaking for the Democrats, declined the proposition, aud in doing s0 showed himself to ba posseaued of great surowdnoes as 9 parlis- mentary leader. He mades point which moat of tho itepublicans privately found it dificult to controvert, and which Butler only answered by swagger aud defiance, Randall’ proposed thet the useless atiugglo should now ond ; that the House should dovote itself exclusivoly to tho passage of all the appropriation bitls, eu that the wheels of the Government might not ho stopped, or an extratsesion be made necowury. ‘Thon, that being done, both partiea could raturn to this stiugglo of physical endurance over the Civildtights bill Butlor only sny that it was not for dail to control the appropriation bills, not being of that Committeo, and that the Itc- ublican two-thirds did not propose tu have the emocruts dictate their course of proceeding. Randail’s proposition was specious, for it ia very evident that should such an agrooment be mado, the buamega would be in such condition that no timo could boiloft for tho Civil-Righta bill in the closing hours of tho sossion, THE NIGUT BESSION, Ten o'clock at night found tho {Toues occupied in Che same eudtess, dilatory motions, Tho Cap- itol did uot present the customary brilliant scoue of avight session.

Te Wal Wn derstood that the members on the Republi olde were determined to forco tha House to o di- rect yoto on the Civil-Rights bill, and st sas equally manifent that the Democrats were aa de- exiedly determined to pravent it, it was 6 mero question of physical endurance. At one timo Mr, MeCrary, of Iowa, seemed to have an offer of compromiso to anbmit, but ho was prevented doing 60 by callx for the regular ordor. When tho proceedings had gono on for some four hours, Mr. Lutlor (Macs.) rose and said that ho HAD A PROPOSITION TO MAKE. | Eldredgo, speaking for the Democratic ride of the Houeo, said that they had no objection, if an opportunity was givon to that side for a reply. After somo objections wero made and withdrawn, Mr. Butler was allowed to make lis proposition, flo said: Wo have now wanted four houra of the public timo on the question of consideration of tho Civil-Rights Lill, I desire to soy to the opposite side of the Houee that. if tho Will Is allowed to be consid ered, we, on this sido of tho Houno, will pormit all proper opportunity for debate, and will per- mit all proper germane amendments to be offered, so that the simple question is a question of consideration of o public measure, leaving evory muti to move his atnend- meuts, nnd to make such spoech of tho Houre will tisten to, and leaving the bill to be consid- ered fairly and properly. 3 ‘Mr. RicCrary here neked for the roading of the renolntion winch he had prepared. Objections wera mado by members on tho Democratic ide to tho resolution boing rend by the Clork, whereupon Butler said be would em- body it as a part of his statement, and ho proceeded ‘to read i+ lumeolf.” It was tint, on tho motion to reconsider, two hours should be allowed for debate, of whieb all but thirty minutes shoul? be allowed to the opponents of the measure, nnd that when the bill cama beforo the Houso, four Lonra should be allowed for debate, of which ona-half whould bo given to the opponents of the bill ; that six amendments to the bill should bo nl- lowed to ba offered and voted on sopagately, but that no dilatory motions should be allowed. Mr. Randall roplied. Ho asid: In geply to tho proposition of the gentleman from dlas- rachusctis, I desire to say for myrelf that thers 18 8 _spocint order assigned for to-day—the Post-Ollice Appropriation bill, ~and;1 proposo that wo blinll proceed to dis- poso of all other regular appropriation bilts. ‘Then, after wo hayo thus provided everything necessary to carry on tho Government from tha lut of July, 1875, to the Ist of July, 1876, let tho atrugylo nto thia Civil-Rights lal’ gu on; for, nftor all, it ia a question of physical endurance. This cide of tho Houso, go far as I know, wante to avoid an extra ression of Congress on the sth of March next. , BMr. Butler—My answor to that proposition is, firet, that the gentleman from Peunuylvania ie nota member of the Committee on Appropria- tions, which has control of Appropriation bills; and, second, that the majority of this House, which ix responsible to the country for tho legis- Iation, caunot pormit the minority to dictate what logislation we shall present for considera- to the Hongo aud to the country.
