NEW YORK HERALD, ‘| WASHINGTON. Legislation Clogged by the Civil Rights Bill. DEADLOCK IN THE HOUSE. The Routine Work Before Congress. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. WASHINGTON, Jan, 27, 1875, 4 ILIBUSTERING DAY IN THE HOUSE—THE PROGRESS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL STILL BLOCKADED—THE RADICALS DESIROUS OF WEARYING THE INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS. General Butler reported the House Civil Rignts bil this morning, a8 was determined in caucns last night, and the opponents of the measure be- gan atonce to perform the curivus trick called | ‘fliibustering,” by which a minority seeks to de- lay, and, tf possible, to prevent the action of the majority, The day and the night up to the tme | of this despatch were therefore consumed tn a con- | tinual and monotonous repetition of calls of the yeas and nays. First came # motion to adjourn. On this the yeas and nays were called, which requires nearly an hour, and, this motion being lost, a motion was made to adjourn until Friday, on which again for an hour tne roll was called, when it was declared lost. fixed day being conslaerea tion to adjourn was agai in order, and, being made, another hour was consumed in another rollcall, Thus the matter went on, dur- ing a long, dull, cloudy afternoon, and a warm evening, like an interminable drawn game of checkers, The democrats and the republicans who oppose the Civil Rights bill say that this measure cannot justly or properly be brougnt up now, be- cause it was putin tne iast repubitcan platform, was voted on by the people at the fall elections, and rejected, with the rest of that platform, by a very large majority. Being thus rejected by the people, all over the Northern States, tt ought not now, they say, to be brought up, and has no Claim to support, It !s suspected, a)so, that while & number Of republicans sincerely believe in the bili, the leaders—and among them General Butler, “pusines:,’? a mo- who introduced the bill this morning—ao not care | much for its passage, and do not beileve thar it | but that they cunningly | could become a law; desire to waste time and make filibus- tering odious by night sessions, and thus demoralize the independent republicans, who now, us the other day, stand in the way of a repeal of the two-thirds role. Thus, it is sas- pected, though they may Jose the Civil Rights bill, the republi: leaders hope to whip the indepen- dents into tne traces and secure their submission to party rule so far that, when next It Is proposed to repeal the two-thirds rule for the admission of bills out of order or in order, or, in other words, to gag she House, these eightcen independents ‘Will vote with the party and enabie the leaders to carry their point. There is some cause to believe that this is really the administration plan and thatthe present proceedings have for their end not to pass actvil rights bill so much as to pave | the way lor a second and, it is hoped by the | administration leaders, successiul attempt to. gag the House of Representatives. The democrats are not all of one mind on the ques- tion of continuing to filisbuster. Some think it wiser to let matters go. Mr. Randall, of Penn- sylvania, this afternoon offered, on beh: of the democratic side. to agree that the Civil Rights bill should be taken up aiter the passage of the Ap- Propriation bills. This would save time for the con- sideration of these important bills, and was a fair proposition, but it was at once rejected by General Butler, and this strengthened the belief that the objector the administration 1s to waste time and wear ont the spirit of the independents. There ts further a suspicion that the adminis- tration men do not care how much time is wasted, because they hope that in the hurly-burly at the end of the session, 1f 8 number of important and necessary appropriation bills are pressed upon the attention of a weary House, they May be able to tack all on to these and rush them through. It is certain that the promoters of doubtiul claims and jobs look with hope npon this plan also, for they know by experience that their best opportunity is in the last hurried hours of a session. At bali-past twelve the twenty-second ballot is | being taken. On the last ballot it was discovered that Mr. Garfleld’s name, thougn he was absent, had been recorded as voting, and on this a hub. bub arose. Mr. Cessna, in the chair, ruling that the error conid not be corrected except in the record. cleared up the diMiculty to the genera! satisiac- tion. His voice, which is not often heard except from the Speaker’s chair, attracted general atten- tion, and it was remarked that he cut clean into the diMculty in a very few words. Some of the democrats remarked that Mr. Blaine promised to | be a formidable foe in the next session. So far the vote runs up high, and there is no prospect of a call of the House, Mr. Shanks, of Indiana, occasionally varies the monotony by ask- ing to have the Clerk read tne democratic plat- Jorm of 1872. SENATOR THURMAN'S ARGUMENT ON THE LOUISIANA QUESTION. In the Senate to-day Mr. Thorman made a powerlal legal argumeaot on the New Orleans events, He was listene! to witn attention, and Senator Conkling, who will reply to-morrow, was busy all the afternoon taking notes of Mr. Thurman’s points, which were presented in close and legal form, his object being to make 1t clear that the dispersion of the Legislature was at every step and in all parts of it contrary to law ana without a sbadow of excuse.

THE IMMENSE MASS OF WORK STILL BEFORE CONGRESS—BILLS IN CHARGE OF COMMITTEES AND TITEIR PROSPECTS, But thirty days remain in which to dispose of | Doring | this Congress there have been introduced in the | the business of the Forty-ourtn Congress, House nearly 6,000 bills.

The Uouse calendar is already a book of thirty pages, containing business Waich, if disposed of in the fairest manner, would exhaust along session, The appropriation bills yet pending will not, it 1s said, meet with captious Opposition from democrats, excepting, perhaps, the Army bill and the Veliciency bili, To provide for the expenses of the government involves in Thereupon, the last motion to adjourn to a | sorts of measures | The House got into a snarl, until Speaker | Blaine came tothe rescue, and in a few words | THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET, 7 Addition the grave question during the remaining ays of the perfection of a new tariff measure, to Meet the deficiency in the customs and internal | revenue.

The speeches, therefore, on this most !mportant measure bid fair to be more voluminous than those on the financial qnestion at the beginning of this Congress, when nearly every member was anxious to appear on the in print. Nor can it be expected that the demo- cratic aby more than the republican members will keep silent. The imposition of a tax on tea and coffee—it 19 found by a carefal poiling uf the House—will not meet with the approval of a majority of the republicans, Any increase of the tax on whiskey or tobacco will be strenu- ously opposed alixe by members of both Parties irom the South and West. The increase of duty on imported wines, expecially the spark- ling brands, will have the most advocates, both in the interest of the American vineyards and the advocates of a protective tariff The Ways and Means Committee have, in addition to the task of Preparing a strong tariff and revenue measure, over 300 bills beiore it in regard to insernal and customs revenue, financtal and misicelianeous matters. These, with the Pacific Mail subsidy in- vestigation and the report thereon, will exhaust the strength and time of the committee. The Committee on Elections have nearly finished their business and tne action of the House 13 awaited on the exclusion of Delegate Cannon, the contested Louisiana election case and the proposed amendment to the consti- tution in the metnod of electing the President and Vice President, The Banking and Currency Committee is well up.

An addi- tional reason for the passage of the bill is given in the fact that a democratic House will te more likely to favor the Southern claimants, wille the Claims Commission, which 1s composea of repub- ness or the falsity of all claims referred to it. The Committee on Commerce has stil! before it the River and Harbor Appropriation bill, the inten- | tion being torecomment# a reduction so as to cut down the amount to $5,000,000, less by $500,000 than that passed last session. Possibly the Harlem River improvement will be recog- nized, while the appropriation for Heil Gate will be increased over ‘that of last year. The Shipping Commissioners bill and that for tunnels under the East and Hudson rivers will undoubtedly fail for want of time. The Com- mittee on Public Lands will consign to the waste basket 300 bills. The Homestead bill, as amenaed by the Senate, and the one for the protection of umber on government reservations, will be among unfinished work, The Judiciary Committee have stil) under consideration the Louisiana bill, and one for controlling and regulating telegrapn lines, both of which willbe disposed of in a few aays. 1n the Committee on Foreign Affairs, as a member | said to-day, the measures which are likely to fail before it are only those which have no merit; for in- stance, the recognition of Cuban independence or giving the Cubans has leave to report at any time a bill deffning the status under the fourteenth amendment of American citizens abroad.
