The DEADLOCK AT WAsHNGToN.-
The House of Representatives at Wash
ington is composed ofabout 1877 Rep. and
So Dem. members. There is a clear two
thirds majority in favor of the Republic
cans, yet last week there was the singular
spectacle of q minoritY-less than one
third of the whole House-absolutely
controlling legislation and suspendiug
business. In free country, where the
majority rule prevails, this proceeding is
anomalous. The process is in making
alternately the three motions-1, TO ad-
journ; 2, to call the House 8, TO Law on
the table. On each ofthese motions the
yeas and nays are called, each call occu-
pying two-thirds of an hour. AS fast as
one of these motions is voted down an
other is made, and thus for over fifty
hours continued session the minority
was able 10 defeat any action of the ma
jority. AT last, on Friday morning at 10
O'Clock, the majority yielded, and the
House adjourned until Saturday noon
On Saturday the first business was the
reading of the journal of the preVions
session; on this Journal are recorded the
lists of yeas and nays, the list in this
instance numbering 75 The minority
insisted that the journal be read in full,
lists and all; after spending several
hours hearing this journal read, the
House adjourned, leaving things in statu

A new rule was offered in the House on
Monday by Mr.. Hale, of Maine, with q
view to restricting dilatory motions or
the part of the minority, and giving TO the
majority reasonable control of the
House. The resolution was referred to
the Committee on Rules. 1t was very
temperate and fair. Mr.. Butler moved to
suspend the rules and allow the Commit
tee to report, but the House refused TO
agree, not two-thirds voting in the affirm
alive. Another motion of similar tenor
met with the same fate. The House then
took up a recess until Tuesday, when
the whole matter comes up again, and
probably the Republicans will be able to
carry two-thirds vote. The opposition
of the Democracy to a vote on the Civil
Rights bill, since it was conceived in
foolishness and executed in absolute con-
tempt of the public good, must by this
time have pretty thoroughly disguised
the people. We are glad 10 point to the
record of the Republicans in this matter,
and TO say that, under strong proTocatiOn,
they have shown great respect for law
and precedent and for the privileges of
the minority, as well as desire TO trans
act the business of the country promptly
and honestly.

his talent and ability are all unknown tc

The Louisiana Debate.

II was an intellectual treat, honorable
20 the senate and to the orator Though
Logan and Sherman, and others had pre-
ceded him in the investigation of the
Louisiana case, he gave new interest to
to the subject, and held his audience in
admiring attention.
The debate has been a mastery one,
and Mr. Conkliug stands above all other
participants, exploded all that had been
said on the other side and pulverized
Thurman's argument, and that his vindi-
cation of the President, Sheridan, and
the Administration was thorough and
complete.
But. after this three weeks debate by
the ablest men in the Senate, what has
been done, what has been proposed and
what is likely to be done? Schurz, Bay
ard, Gordon, Thurman, West, Upton,
Sherman, Morton, Logan, and Conkling
have spoken they have 10 the best OF
their ability defended their respective
friends each side has sought to place the
blame Of the responsibility for the horri-
Bile condition of louisiana on the other.
Each has hurled red-hot denunciati on
at the opposing party, and. each has
sought the rectitude Of his own associates.
But not one of these eminent statesmen
has proposed remedy for the evil. The
Louisiana case is as far from satisfactory
settlement as eyer it was.

The testimony of Theodore TIlton in the
Beecher case was continued on Tuesday.
1t was devoted mainly to the explanation
of the witness relations to the Woodruff
showing that his object in maintaining
them was to protect Beecher. The most
revolving part of the whole case when
the witness related the points ofan in
.erview held between bin and Beecher
for the purpose of determining the pa

possible to conceive anything more DIS

through it all, and appeared to enjoy the
recital as much cannot be said of any

There is a glaring incongruity in the
management of the case in court as COM
pared with the course of policy that
Beecher has all along avowed. He wish
es it understood that he had nothing to
conceal. He courted the broad light of
truth, and desired to have it poured up
on the scandal. But what is the course
of his counsel? They quibble at every
point, and their chief desire Is to keep
every thing out of court that bears upon
his sinuous path. When the testimony
tends to the accommodation of Beecher's
assumed candor and open heartedness,
the effort is to parry lis effect Our New

The Congressional Investigating Com
mittee, now in session at New Orleans,
have elected much stronger testimony
against the White Leaguers within the
past few days than any that was adduced
before the subcommittee. In the light
oflatter developements. there can be no
question of the outrageous intimidation
practsed by the White League assassIns
in Natchloches and other parishes. If
the witnesses could only be sure ofpro-
lection thereafter, it is believed an oyer
whelming amount of testimony could be
presented, showing the White Republi-
cans, as well as black, have been pre-
vented from exercising their rights as
freemen by threats of assassin alton.
