WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2G.-There was q ful
Cabinet to-day The Republicans of the
Mississippi Investigation Committee signed
one report. The Democrats signed another.
The majority report closes with the recon-
mendation for the passage of the Caucus
Force bill, and that the violent action at
Nicksburg lustities Gov. Ames calling on
President Grant for troops.
! 1t is conceded tia. the Democrats gained n
substantial and great victory. by allowing de-
bate on the Civil Rights bill, to close Satur-
| day afternoon, after which limited debate is
TO continue indefinitely on th4 amendments
The Republicans were determined TO force a
vote THURSDAY night. Had this been done
il would have LETT two additional DAVIS for
Piuchback, Louisiana and the caucus Force
| bill.
The Democrats are now confident of defeat
ing all other political legislation.
| The proceedings of the House on the Sun
dry Civil Appropriation bill were dry and IN
interesting. The liens for purchasing Hiss
Eansoms picture of Gen. Thomas and Car
penters picture Of the signing Of the enamel
patton proclamation at SO 900 and SO 600
respectively, were struck out on a point of
order, and one for Miss Ninnie,Reams' sta.ue
of Admiral FaIragut inserted, the latter being
under a contract.
When the committee rose the bill was not
quite half finished, the pending question
being an appropriation to pay the expenses OF
the commission sent to recover possession Of
the New Ibria quicksilver mines the famous
McGarrahan claim.
The session tonight was for debate only on
the Force bill
The fact that the Democrats waived their
right to have the long Journal Of Yesterday
read, which would have consumed six or
seven hours, is probably an indication that
they have not much apprehension tha. the
Force bill can be passed.
