Its Passage still q Matter Of Doubt

Its Passage still q Matter of Doubt
Washington Correspondence Of the New York
Tribune: gce-FIn
The passage of the civil rights bill is
as vet a little doubtful, and nc predic-
ton in regard to it will be safe until
the Republican Senators finish caucus
ing upon it. Manyof the ADLER Repub-
lican lawyers of the Senate, as is well
known from their speeches made when
the bill has been previously under dis
cussion, doubt the constitutionality of
some of the provisions of the bill; and
Others are convinced that the enact
nient Il SOME othei parts OF 1t would
not be polite just before the election
of a new Congress. Compulsory mixed
schools are opposed even by some of
the most intelligent and influential
Southern Republicans a calculated to
break up the schools already estab-
lished, and set back the cause of edu-
cation in that section of the country
where it is most needed. Some objec-
tions, though not so forcible, come also,
from the same source, to the provisions
of Che bill recurring hotels, theatres,
public Eonveyances, etc., to make no
distinction in the treatment of their
patrons. 1t is possible that the Re-
publican Senatorial caucus, which ap-
preciates the fact that the tdministra-
ton party viii have an unusually
heavy load to carry in the coming fall,
may conclude that it viii be better pol
icy to postpone the question until the
next session, or rather to let it quietly
go over without action. Should the
bill be attended TO fleet the views Of a
part of the Republican Senators it
would not satisfy the colored Republi-
cans of the South, and should it pass
in its present shape it might drive from
the support of the Administration
party some of another class.

THE TYRANT OF THE HOUSE.
Speaker Blaine's Official ~InsOIenee
Sharply Rebuked-His Bold As
sumption OF Dangerous Powers.


Washington Special CNiay III TO the Chicago
Tribune.
Another pickering row, of which we
have had too many this session, char
acterized the proceedings in the House
to-day. Speaker Blaine, Clarkson n.
Potter, of New York, and Gen. Gar
field we're the parties Immediately con-
eerned. Gen. Garfield having, In a
moment of pique at not being recog-
niZed as promptly as he thought he
thought he ought to have been to move
to 90 into committee on the West Point
Appropriation bill, moved to adjourn.
In putting the motion, the Speaker
took occasion to criticise Gen. Garfield
for having offered it, saying that he
had no right, under the circumstances
to do so, and intimating that the mo-
ton was not made in good faith. At
this Clarkson n. Potter sprang TO his
feet, challenging the right of the Chair
to question the privilege of a member
to o to adjourn atany time, and en-
tering his objection to the action of
the Speaker.
MI. Blaine grew furiously angry, and
repeatedly called out hat THE Chair
repeats his remark, and stands by it"
to which Potter uniformly reiterated
his objection. Blaine then inquired if
the gentleman from New York proposed
to criticise the Chair, and in making
this inquiry, his tone was In the highest
degree insolent and offensive. After
the quarrel had gone on for some time
between Potter and Blaine, Garfield
discovered that he did not permit the
Chair or anybody else to question his
good faith in anything, and, arising
to his feet, said so. A great deal
of excitement was ~occasioned by the
affair, which threatened to become ex-
ceedingly grave, as the parties concern
ed were fast losing their n with
rage. but outsiders managed to quiet
the storm so as to allow the public
business to proceed, not, however, until
the Speaker had explained the Difficult
ties surrounding the Chair, especially
on Mondays.
The passage at arms only serves to
illustrate bow rapidly the dangerous
power of the Speaker is growing. He
not only assumes the right to compel
members of the House to explain tn
him for what purpose they wish totake
the floor, and to refuse to recognize
them if their proposition does not find
favor in his eyes, but he goes further,
it appears, and assumes the right to
criticise mems motives, and to allow
himself to be controlled by the result
of that criticism, which he may arrive
at without giving the gentleman par
ticularly concerned an opportunity to
explain what motives really influenced
him.
