Ramsey had no evidence from any
source that Mr.. Ramsey was connected
with this offer the. possibility that
had in mind was that Mr.. Ramsey would
show, or it would be shown, that Mr..
Ramsey had no connection with the mat

The witness was asked If he believed
at the time Of the conversation with Vim
cent, that Ramsey was responsible for
this offer if he woald have said he might
vet vote for him. He said he saw the
drift of the question it
was not for him to declare whether
he thought Mr.. Ramsey guilty
at that time, and he thought the ques-
ton unfair witness also said he might
vet vote for Ramsey, for that gentleman
had assured him that be was IN no way
responsible for this offer. and he was sat
isfed that he had nothing to do with it.,
and that he 1.-THE witness) might yet vote

the CONGRESS DEAD LOCK.
How the Republican Majority Pro.
pose To Reach the Civil Rights
BILL.

Washington Telegram, Thursday Evening.
The solution Of the question which led
to the filibustering proceedings over the
civil rights bill is simple and easy, and
can be accomplished on Monday by a
mere majority. The Speaker gave the
kew to the situation. 1t is that under
the call of States on llonday for bills for
reference, resolutions to amend the rules
may be presented and referred. The
committee on rules has the right to re.
pert any time, and its report is privi-
legged question Of such high charac.
ter that diiatory motions to
prevent vote upon it need not be enter
tanned. Then it requires but simple
majority to vote to change the rule or to
establish new one. This mode of oper.
ton is plain AMI easy. The next ques.
ton is what shall be the character of the
new rule. There has been good deal Of
consultation to-day among the leading
Republicans. The result Of it may be
briefly stated. The rule proposed by
Cessna last Wednesday has been substan.
tally modified, and those Republicans
who voted against it can, without incon'
sistency, vote for the one that is to take
its place.

couple of years. have at last agreed to re-
port adversely on the application of A.
b. Wilson for an extension of the patent
Of the four-motion feed for sewing ma
chimes. This patent was issued June Is,
1852, and is the most valuable in exis-
tence. In this the feed bar or pad is
given a forward motion to carry the cloth
to the needle; motion downward to re-
lease the cloth from its grip. backward
motion to the extent of the length Of the
stitch, and finally an upward motion to
take . fresh hold ON the cloth. So valu-
able has been this four.motion feed that

admits that his patents. which are much

"Mr. Beecher, with q good

his own counsel and stepped across the
room to the table at which Mr.. Tilton's
counsel sat, and reaching across it, sa-
luted Mr.. Beach, and then shook his
hand. Mr.. Tilton, with stern express
