WASHINGTON. January 2S.-The House of
Representatives has now been in continuous
session for nearly thirty-six hours, with q
fair prospect of at least reaching its forty
eighth hour without adjourning, If indeed
the session is not continued longer.
The Radicals frfd it much more difficult

sicalIy with them by sitting out until nature
is completely exhausted. Motions to ad-
| jotlrn have been constant since noon yester.
day. If there is an adjournment mstion
will be introduced to amend the rules for
the purpose of passing the civil-rights bill,
but it is very doubtful If the majority will
gain their point. The Democrats under
stand the art of ilibustering very well, and
just now have no intention of yielding their
power.
The tale Of Louisiana still drags along
its weary length. Conkling made the
most eloquent speech to-day that has
been made on the Radical side.
he went over the same ground,
however, that has been dinued into the
ears of the country since the Radical party
began explaining the situation, though in the
beginning he aimed more at eloquence than
argument. The speech, which is intended
as grand campaign document, was not
concluded to-day, though the senator occu-
pied the floor for four hours.
The National Educational Convention
which has been in session here has adjourned
to meet IN Richmond in August next.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The deadlock in the House continues,
neither side showing any signs of yielding
| The probability is, however, that an ad-
iournmeut will soon take place, and that the
| Republicans will fall back upon renewed
attempt to change the rules next Monday
| by adopting new rule, applicable only TO
| the session, prohibiting the Speaker from
entertaining dilatory motions. With that
rule established the passage of the civil
rights bill would be plain sailing.
$50 p. M.-The tilibustering continues.
The SPEAKER declared that on Monday, uu-
der the call of States. a resolution to amend
the rules could be referred to the Committee
on Rules; upon which motion the SPEAKER
would allow no dilatory motions.
The Committee on Rules can report at any
time, and an amendment of the rules will
bring the civil-rights bill before the House
and allow majority to pass it.
