Wasniyarox, D, C., Feb, 25.—The Hous after the truce In the fillbustering contest was agreed upon this morning, spent the day futhe consideration of the Sundry Civil blll. Agood deal of progress was miade, but it is possible that all ot to-morrow will be neees- srytofinish the bill. It is now the under- standlig that the Apportiomment bilt shall pot bo again bronght up until after the Sun~ dry Civil bill shall have passed. This may postpone the consideration of this mensuro until Monday., Mr, Atking, who, in a fit of spite the other duy, when the House refused to purchaso the Tolk and Brage papers, moved to strike out from th bill the apprapriation to continuo the History of the RRebellion, IN A VERY MANLY SPEECIH, this morning, withdrew his ‘amendment, stafing that he belleved that the work of con- tinume the history was just and patriotic. The Confederates really cannot complaln that the liistory now In progress Is unjust, for the records and papers of both sides are falrly consldered, nnd the offielal In churge of the Confedernto records Is hhmnself an ox- Confederate oflleer.

Mr, King, Chairman of the Interoceanio Cunal Commlttee, denied that any ropresent- “ptive of any lunid company had apveured be- fore or Influenced the Commlttee, Alr.

The procecdings during the night after 8o, m. were of the same gencral character ns those which cccurred In the contest during theday. Various propositions of compromise were maide, but they were rejected. The Repub- licans suggested that they shonld nssign re- luys of thirty, & number sufilclent to call the ‘roll, while the remaining members could rest. ‘I'his practice has been resorted to in former coutests of this kind, At 4 a. .m. o resolution was ndopted ordering tho arrest of all absentees without leave, and to bring them before the bar of the 1fouse.

At 6 o'clock an- other effort was made to agree upon some way to scttle the dificulty, Mr. Cox pro- posed to allow a vote on any figures from H1¢ down, or frax £93 up, Mr. Couger fnsisted that the demad for tho previous question should be withdrawn, This was deelined, and somo remarks of Mr. Cox relative to ob- structlon wera deemed offensive by Mr, Con- ger.
