. Washington, January 27.?The
House resolved to instruct tho Judi
clary Committee to report the Civil
Righto Bill in regular order. This
takes control from Butler and staves
action off for two weeks. The best
parliamentarians say there is ma?
chinery to push it over until the fonrth
of March.
? In tho House, B a tier, of Massachu?
setts, as a question of privilege, oalled
op fcho motion made by him UstBes
eion, to rooonoidor the vote by whioh
tho Civil Righto Bill was referred to
tho Judiciary Committee. A point of
order was, raised, but tho Speaker de
oided, oo tho authority of that day's
journal Of' proceedings, that the right
exiotod, and thereupon the Democrats
foil baok upon the policy of filibuster?
ing.' '
. The Republican eauous of the House
upon Ljuisiuna affairs was discordant;
mriny i prominent Republicans hove
lefl. There is no prospeot of a definite
line of proceedings that wilt control
the parti in general. Logan thinks
Pioobbaok will be seated. The caucus
resolved to instraot the Judiciary Com?
mittee of the House to report their
Civil Rights Bill, in order that there
ohoald be three hours' debate, during
whioh it would- be open to umandment.
a a tho close c?.tb*e three hours the pro
vioUQ question shall be moved, when a
vote Will be ioroed, if it takes forty
eight hoars' session. It is not known
now when the bill will come in order.
The discord con tin a ad to the end of
the session. .
Too wordo in the order inserted in
the caucus action was not understood
by many members. It appears the
Judiciary Committee had presented
their bill, and that a motion to reoon
aider was ponding, which Butler,
chairman of tho committee, could oall
up nt onytimo. This he did, to-dey,
in order, no direotod by the caucus.
Too Honse has been filibustering all

In-the Senate, Soott, of Pennsylva?
nia, from the Committee on Claims,
reported adversely on bill to facilitate
and reduce the expenses of taking tes?
timony in behalf of the olaimants, to
be used before the Commissioners of
Claims, and it was indefinitely post
Eonod, He said the objects of this
ill had been already supplied by the
Houao bill.' Patterson, of South Caro?
line, presented concurrent resolutions
of the General Assembly of that State,
for an appropriation of $100,000 for
the improvement of Charleston bar-'
bor; Commerce. The Louisiana die- ]
nnKuinn wss resumed, and Thurms?
occupied the baienoa of the day. He
reviewed at some length the oironm
stauoeA attending the election of 1872,
as well as the last election, and read
frequently from the report of the Se?
nate Committee, in regard to frauds of
the Lynch Returning Board. He com?
mented upon the messago of the Pre?
sident, in reply to resolution of 8th
instant, and said a paper more full ot
omissions.of material faots never ema?
nated from the Chief Magistrate of
this country. He argued that the de
spStobes of Sheridan were one-sided,
and did not tell the whole truth. He
, replied to charges of the Southern out?
rages, and said a great majority of the
bomioides in the South were commit?
ted by the blacks upon blacks, and
were not by the whites npon the
blacks, as had been charged. In con?
clusion, he said it was a bad thing to
assastinate a man, but a worse thing
to assassinate the Constitution of a
State. These acts of the military in
Louisiana had driven a daggor to the
heart of the free institutions in this
coontry.

New York Bay on the morning of the

to persons who were obliged to pass
between Steten Island and the oity.
The passengers over the North and
East Rivers experienced great difficulty
in getting across, on account of large
quantities of floating ioe. The Tbos.

At last accounts tbe Hunt was unable

father, bnt be is o lud who wna en?
gaged to mind the office, shake op the
coal stove and answer inquiries. He j
is a good boy, and he has learned to
sympathize with reporters. When
there has been an inquest the boy pats
on a oheerfol look, and be has tin
whole case so that be oan rattle it off
from beginning to end.
"Awful sad case," be says to the re?
porter. "They found the old man
banging to a beam in the wood-shed,
stiff and oold. Bplendid ubunce for
yon to nay that his wide-open eye*
seemed to glare down npon tho aoro

oat, as if to shake hauris with the grim
monster, Death. You oan say that the
I body swayed to and fro in tho nigbi

pane, and that an owl sat on a beam
over the corpse and uttered biB mourn?
ful ?hoo-hool*"
And then he rubs bis bands, hi
smiie grows broader, and he continue h: |
"Business boa begun to pick up.

around, I'll send a boy down."
But there are other days when he is |
sad, and he says to the reporter:
"Nothing to-day. I'm sorry, but
you know we can't push business us
grocers do. Advertising wouldn't help
ua a cent's worth, and the holiday rea?
son is no better than auy other seuson
I wish we had a case for you, aud if
anything turns up, I'll come down my?
self and give you the points. There's
lots of folks who might as well com?
mit suicide as not, but they don't seem

No Better Off ?A man and his
wife, who had been married ten years,
disagreed and determined to sepaiate.
?he terms of separation were to be de
aided by the justice of the arroudioao

Parisians.
"Have you any children?" said thi
jndge.
"Yea, monsieur."
"How many?"
"Three?two boys and a girl?and
it is with them lies the difficulty.
Madame wishes to have two of tbem?
so do I."
"Have you agreed to abide by my
decision?"
"We have," said both of them.
"Very well, my friends. I condemn
you to hare another child, so that you
may have two. When you have ob?
tained that, you may return to me."
The matter was then adjourned for
the time being. Two years afterward
the worthy magistrate, who in the]
meanwhile had heard nothing of the
husband or wife, met the former.
"Ab." said be, "how about the sepa?
ration?"
".Still impossible, monsieur. Iu
atead of four children, we now have
five."
Death in thh Snow.?The accouuts
of the great snow-slidea in Utah,
which are reported by telegraph, give]
a vivid picture of the dangers und ter?
rors of winter in the mining orisons of
the far West. In some of their re?
sults, though essentially different in
tbeir origin, they suggest the revolt*
tiens of Pompeii and Hefoiilaneauj.
Men ure suddenly overwhelmed, and
their homes demolished and buried by
the treacherous snow. One striking
instance is given of the discovery in
one bouse that had beeu bnried of the
body of a women sitting in a rocking
chair, with her infant olasped in her
arms, and near by the bodies of her
husband and little girl, all having
perished from suffocation by snow. In
another instance, we read that fifty
Chinamen were overwhelmed by an
avalanche of aoow, and that twenty
eight lost their lives.?Baltimore Sun.
The high-toned Californian may

acknowledge them. A California jour?

man was riding along Sansom street,
near Sacramento, when bo heard a
pistol shot behind him, heard the
whizzing of a ball near him, and felt
his bat shaken. He turned and saw a
man with a revolver in his hand, aud
took off his hat and found a fresh
bullet hols in it. "Did you shoot at
me?" aBked the German. "Yes," .re?
plied the other party; "that's my
horse; it was stolen from me recently."
"You must be mistaken," said the
German; "I have owned the horse for
three years." "Well," said the other,
"when I come to look at him, I be?
lieve I am mistaken. Excuse me, sir;
won't you take a drink?"
The Celestial Emperor of China is
reported oritioally ill, and though the
announcement is apparently of littlo
oonsequenoe in this quarter of the
globe, the death of the yonng Empe?
ror would bave no unimportant oooae
quonoes upon the status of American
and European affairs in the far East.
He has indicated a favorable policy to?
wards foreigners, but the dowager
Empress bas opposed him, and it has
required all bta power to prevent China
from drifting into an anti-foreign ays
tern of politics. Hit death may also
embarrass the relati ns between the
Chinese aud Japanese Empires.

"Gentlemen, yon" know very well
that tbis nation called 4,000,000 of

Here are two important admissions.
First, that, by iheimelves, the white
men of the North, despite their supe?
rior numbers aud equipment, uould
not whip the South; second, that it
was not love for tho negro on the part
of the Republicans that forced him
into citizenship, but fear for tbem
xulves. The South has cause to feel
proud of bur achievements, thna sig
ually admitted, and the dnrkws are
surely entitled to the next Rupubliosu
nomination for the Presidency, siuo?,
without them, the "party" and the
'nation" would not have existed.
The New York Republic newspaper,
pint deceased, was ntarted upon u nub

ibn.-e and villifluation of the South as
'-he leading idea. Up to the panic
(the November elections) in the Radi
oal party, $40,000 of. this subscription
was paid in, since when Norvell and
Copelaud, the managers of the oon
corn, were unable to collect another
cent. Just before the paper died, they
went to Washington and tried to raise
>be wind to keep it going, but they
say that they found everybody there
so coulirmly convinced that the Radi
oal party itself was dyiug, that they
wouldn't pay a dollar for mediciue for
it. So when the $10,000 were ex?
hausted, the sickly bantling was put in
its cotliu aud big nails driveu iu the
