WASHINGTON.
civil Rights Bill in Caucus.

SAYu nights Dill In C80CuDs
WASHINGTON, January 27.-The House
caucus resolved to instruct the Judiciary
Committee to report the civil rights bill in
regular order.
In the House.
Mr. Butler, Of Massachusetts, as q uues-
tiOn OF privilege, called up the notion made
by him last session to reconsider the vote
by which the civil rights bill was referred
to the Judiciary Committee. A point of
order was raised, but the Speaker decided,
on the authority of that days journal of
proceedings, that the right existed. and
thereupon the Democrats fell back upon
the policy Of filibustering.
The words ''in order" inserted in the
caucus action was not understood by many
members. 1t appears the Judiciary Com.
mlttee had presented their bill and that
motion to reconsider was pending which
Butler, chairman of the committee, could
call up at any time. This he did today sin
order as directed by the caucus.
The House has been tlibustering all dav
and is still at it. The bill over which the
Honse is tiliOustering excludes the school
and cemetery clauses.
Mexican War Veterans,
The Pensions Committee will report fay
orably the oiil to pension Mexican war vete-
rams, OF whom there are 10000.

In the Senate, Mr.. Conkling will follow
Mr.. Thurman on the Louisiana question.

CONGRESS.
Senate.


WASHINGTON, January 2.-In the Senate
Mr.. Scott, Of Pennsylvania, from the Com
mittee on Claims. reported adversely on the
bill to facilitate and reduce the expense of
taking testimony in behalf of claimants to
be used before the commissioners of claims,
and it was indefinitely postponed. He said
the objects Of this bill had been already
supplied by the House bill.
Mr.. Patterson, of South Carolina. pre-
sented the concurrent resolution of the
General Assembly of that State for anIap-
preparation of 100000 for the improve
ment of Charleston harbor. Referred to
the Commerce Committee.
The Louisiana discussion was resumed j,
and Mr.. Thurman occupied the balance of
the day.
Mr.. Thurman reviewed at some length
the circumstances attending the election in
Louisiana in 1872, as we'll as the last cleo.
ton, and read frequently from the report
of the Senate committee in regard to the
frauds of the Lynch Returning Board He
commented upon the message of the Presi-
dent in reply to. the resolution of the eighth
instant, and said q paper more full of omis-
sions of material facts never emanated from
chief magistrate of this country. He argued
that the dispatches of General Sheridan
were 0ne-sided and did not tell the whole
truth. He replied to the charges of South
ern outrages. and said a great majority Of
the homicides in the South were committed
by the blacks upon blacks, and were not by
the whites upon the blacks as had been
charged. In conclusion he said it was q
bad thing to assassinate man, but worse
thing to assassinate the constitution of a
State. These acts Of the military in Louis
ana have driven dagger to the heart of q
free institution in this country.
House.
Dilatory motions have been continued in
the House until this hour, eleven o'clock.
The prospect is that the session will con-
tinue until noon tomorrow.

Improving Galveston Harbor.

We are indebted to Major c. w. Howell,

letter to the Secretary of War relative to
Red Fish bar, Galveston bay. This docu.

ates: For completion of nine-foot cut
through the bar. 10000; for a ten-foot
channel from Bolivar channel to Morgan's

WASHINGTON. January q. 1875.
There is now very little doubt but Pinch
back will be seated in a day or two, on his
credentials of 1872.
Sheridan will remain in New Orlea ms tor
the present. The headquarters of the mill
tary division Of the Missouri will be located
there.
There is every indication that the Kel-
logg government will be fully rec ognized
In few days.
Leading Republicans in Louisiana have
telegraphed to their friends here that they
are highly satisfied with the congressional
committee. They seem determined to in
vestigate matters thoroughly, and that is
all they want and all they ask.
The Pardee case will be disposed of next
week.
It is rumored tonight that an important
South American mission has been tendefed
a prominent Louisianian by the Preside hit.

Amusements.

At the St. Charles Theatre Tony Deniers
pantomime troupe is drawing excellent
houses, and they are deserving of success
for the happy manner in which they furnish
amusement. "Humpty Dumpty" has been
shelved, and tonight Jack and the Bean
stalk" will be produced with entirely new
tricks. acts and transformations. This is
one of the best contrived of pantomimes
and it will have full scope on the stage Of
the old St. Charles, where the famous
Ravels amused the public years ago. Denier
has double troupe, clowns. pantalooHs
and harlequins, besides an excellent COM
bination of variety artists. He remains
only the present week.
At the Varieties Theatre Mr.. Barrett has
been successful beyond the most sanguine
expectation. Full houses greet him con-
tinually, proving him to be the most at
tractive star who visits New Orleans. To-
night he will play Hamlet, and tomorrow
night, for bis farewell benefit, he will ap-
pear as Richelieu, by request of many who
were unable to see him on his opening
night. This is his strongest character in
the legitimate line, and no one now before
the public plays it better. This is high
praise, but the public concur in
the opinion. His support is good. Mr..
Davey's company is not the best in talent,
but it is equal to the task of playing well
the few pieces they produce, and by con-
slant acting of the same parts they have
arrived at fair degree of perfection. Miss
Alice Brooks is a pleasing young actress,
natural and acceptable. Miss Josephine
Craig, the juvenile lady, is the same careful
little actress she was in other days, always
correct and painstaking in the part she as.
sumes.
