The Dead Lock to be Broken on Mon
day.
The solution Of the question which has
led 10 the flibusteTing proceedings in the
House over the Civil Rights bill, is simple
and easy, and can be accomplished on Mon
day by mere majority. The Speaker gave
the key to the situation in the discussion
that took place to-day; that is, that under
the call Of the States on Monday for bills
for reference, resolutions to amend the
rules may be presented and referred. The
Committee on Rules have the right
TO report at any time, and its
report is privileged question Of
such a high character that dilatOry mo-
tOns to prevent a vote upon it need not be
entertained; then it requires but a simple
majority to change a rule or establish
new one. The next question is as to what
shall be the character of the new rule.
There has been a good deal Of cOnsuita-
ton to-day among leading Republicans,
and the result of it may be briefly stated
The rule proposed by Mr.. Cessna, last Mon
day, has been substantially modified.
The New Rule.
Cessna's rule was to be made applicable
only to the remainder Of the present session.
This is to be a general rule for all future
time to come until changed or repealed. 1t
provides that when any question is pending
before the House, there shall be butitwo
dilatOry motions entertained, one to ad-
jOuTn and one fixing the time to which it
shall adjourn; but the previous question is
not TO be seconded on the same day thai a
proposition is introduced or reported, unless
by a majority Of thTee-fOurths. In other
words, the new rule is
Designed TO Prevent FIIibustering,
while at the same time it furnishes an ad-
ditiOnal guard to the minority. The next
question is whether even after the proposed
rule is established, if advantage will be
taken of it to pass the Civil Rights bill.
1t is not very certain that it will be, there
being many who express the opinion that
urgent advocacy Of that measure is more
apparent than real, and that parliamentary
means will be found 10
Let il Escape becoming a Law.
The last question is, why the solution Of
the problem being so easy on Monday,
this long, tiresOme struggle in the House
has been continued. Inquiries on both
sidesOf the House have not elected any
satisfactory explanation on that head, but
the general impression is it has come now
to a mere point Of Obstinacy, neither party
being willing to cOncede that it is a fruit
less strife. Only five weeks remain Of the
present Congress, and owing TO a large
number Of measures of a public character
pending, some persons apprehend an extra
session Of Congress will become necessary.
Jay GOuId's Fight Against Tom Sectt.
Special TO the Cincinnati Enquirer.
It has transpired that the combination to
beat the Texas Pacific Railroad bill is en-
gineered 10y G. p. Huntington and jay
Gould, who have iOined forces for this pur-
pose. These two railroad magnates had
secret meeting at the Fifth Avenue Hotel,
in New York, on Sunday last, and the re-
suit is already visible in an increase
Of the crop Of newspaper literature
in opposition to the measure. These
parties naturally desire to maintain
their present monopoly of the railroad
communication with California, and thus
to increase the large profits already re-
ceived By them from Congressional sub
sides to the Central line owned by them.
It is believed that they would not hesitate
to spend millions Of dollars to prevent the
completion Of the Southern route. The
Northern route they have no fear of. Jay
Gould does not think it prudent to come
here IN person, but Huntington is on the
ground, aided by his deputy or agent,

Worse than Fosters Committee.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
There is still more dismay in the Re-
publican ranks. Judge Field, the AttOr-
ney General Of louisiana, who went to
New Orleans with the HOar Committee to
see that the kellogg party should have a
fair chance 20 get in their work, has sent
a second dispatch, this time TO Gen. Butler,
in which he complains more SOrrCwtully
than ever, stating that this Committee Is
even worse than Fosters. 1t seems very
sad that committees cannot be sent to the
South with a proper comprehension Of their
