THE PROCESS OF FILIBUSTERING.

BUTLER PRESSES THE CIVIL RIGHTS BIIL-DEMo-
Gratis CALL FOR THE REGULAR ORDER-MoRE
THAN THE USUAL CONFUSION OF MOTIONS.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUER.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-At p m. the House was
found to be without quorum. call of the House
was ordered. The list of absentees having been
read, the doors were ordered to be closed. motion
to suspend further proceedings under the call of the
House was then carried and Mr.. Butler asked the
Democrats to name o day when they would take up
the Civil Rights bill. This was answered
by Mr.. Randall calling for the Appropriation bill
and by the Democrats generally for the regular
order. At 11:4O p. IN. Mr.. Butler moved that when
the House adjourn it be until Saturday, which was
carried. The object of this motion was to enable
new rule to be introduced on Saturday and re-
ferred to the Committee, who would report
it on Monday; and also to prevent the
reading of the journal on Monday, which would oc-
cupy the whole day. motion was then made to
the effect that when the House adonrn it be to meet
on Friday, which the ayes and nays were de-
manded. This departure from the regular order of
fllibusteTing, coupled with the confusion arising
from the fact that in legislative sense, to-day" is
still Wednesday, led the House into a maze, from
which only the clear parliamentary ruling Of
Speaker Blame extricated it.

showed no signs of wavering They say that they
will agree to any rule the Republicans are willing to
live under, when they are in the minority in the
next Congress- and which will not open the door for
the host of jobs that are clamorng for recogni-
ton but they will not vote for the rule fixed by the
caucus and introduced into the House on Monday, If
the flibusterng continues until the 4th of March,
Mr.. Blaine and others have been attempting during
the afternoon to devise rule that shall be
satisfactory to all parties. Several propositions
have been made. One of them is that no bill shall
be passed on the same day on which it is taken up
for consideration thus making it impossible to rush
jobs through without the knowledge of members;
another proposes to give fixed time for debate to
every bill that is called up for consideration.
condition Of both these amendments to the rules is
that diatory motions shall not be in order. The
good temper of the members remarked yesterday
has continued to-day, and there have been fower
scenes of disorder than generally occur on similar
occasions.

CONSTITUTIONAL BILL-PROBABLE DIVISION IN
TIE REPUBLICAN RANKS.
PARIS. Thursday, Jan. ~, 1878.
In the Assembly to-day debate on the CoDstitu-
tional bill of NJ. de VentavOn was resumed
The Right moved the withdrawal Of all the con-
stitutional measures before the Chamber. The mo-
ton was rejected,
NJ Labouaye then moved an amendment TO the
Ventavon bill, providing that the Government DO
composed Of q Senate, Chamber Of Deputies, and
President of the Republic who shall be chief OF tho
executive power.
Mr.. Laboulaye said the object of his amendment
was to recall the fact that the republic was the ex
listing government in France aud TO convert that
fact into law. The republic alone could give tho
country security, while monarchy was an impos-
sibility.
NJ. de Labassctiere opposed the motion and de-
manded the restoration of monarchy.
NJ. Louis Blanc opposed the creation of Presi-
dency which had been fatal TO the Republic Tho
coup d<tat would have been avoided if the Presi-
dency had not been established IN ls4s. He moved
that the clause concerning the Presidency read as
follows: The Government of France is Republic"
His speech caused great excitement in the House.
The debate was closed The Right succeeded in
carrying motion that vote be taken tomorrow,
and the sitting was adjourned
The position taken by NJ Blanc is believed to indi-
cate division in the Republican ranks, which Will
lead to defeat of NJ Laboulaye's amendment, i'm
plying the formal proclamation of the Republic.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
THE KELLOGG PARTY UNABLE TO MAKE OUT
CAsE-THE GENERAL EFFECT OF THE TESTIMONY
OF THE ARMY OFFICERS FAVORABLE TO THE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES COMMITTEES REPORT NOT
LIKELY TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE
FORMER REPoRT-ATTEMPTs TO EFFECT COM
PROMISE.
NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 2s-The testimony Of the
army officers is generally very damaging to the
Kellogg House. All agree that there is no govern
ment that Kelloggis unable to protect to punish
and that the army Is indispensable to preserve the
shadow Of authority. All admit that their views Of
the lawlessness intimidation &c, is gathered from
Packard, Kellogg g. Co.. that they never saw any
instances themselves, and only heard about them.
Gen. Morrow alone claimed TO have mixed with
all classes and his evidence is uncompromisingly in
favor of the Conservatives He deposes that they
all manifest respect for the United States Govern
ment, and shows very plainly that they have cause
for their enmity toward Kellogg. He asserts that
troops have been used unnecessarily and with i'm
proper harshness.
The Committee are evidently responding as to a
case against the Conservatives. Mr.. Frye has ex-
hibited strong desire to elicit one but thus far
fails to accomplish much. The witnesses are not
successful. 1t is safe prediction that this Sub
Committee cannot detract materially from the force
of thereport'of the other. am confident that Judge
Hoar and his colleagues will endeavor to arrange
an adjustment of some Sort They SEQ that the Ke-
logg Government cannot be sustained, nor the ac-
ton of the troops the 4th justified The Conserya-
tves are quite willing to leave it all to them, and
have so asserted personally, as well as formally.
Nothing is doing tonight unless perhaps there is
compromise meeting between the Committee and
some representative Conservatives, which will not
be known until tomorrow. Such q meeting has
been sought by the former.

CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
THE INVESTIGATION OF CUsTOM-HoUsE AT

WASHINGTON. Thursday, Jan. %, Il

WASHINGTON, Thursday, Jan. 20, 1875.
Several weeks ago special agents of the Treasury
Department were sent to New-York and other cities
to make examinations Of the Custom-house for the
purpose of reducing the force employed and lessen
ing the immense expense of collecting the revenue at
the principal ports. 1t is thought that the inquiry
regarding the New York Custom-house was particu-
larry thorough, and the result very satisfactory TO
the Secretary Their reports have been in the hands
of the Secretary for some time but he refuses to al
low them to o to the public. Collector Arthur has
been here for several days giving much Of his time
to the subject aud Col. Frank Howe and other rev.
enue officers are also here their business having ref
erence to the silk smuggling case well as to the
reorganization Of the Custom-house The Collector
has had full power in the matter, and his recon-
mendations have always met with approval In the
Department The reorganization has been agrT-d
