 WASHINGTON, May 28.-When Mir. Black burn on Friday made proposition to the Republican side in the House that he claimed as proposal to break the deadlock, in which he demanded that the case in hand (ths con- 1 tested election case of Mackey against Dibb]e) be given to special committee who should look into it, and go, if necessary, to South ! Carolina to examine persons and papers and report to the House, he was met by counter proposition from the Republicans. which was evidently more equitable and expedient. If | the Republicans had agreed to Blackburn's proposition there would be an end to all de- cisions and contested elections forever, be- | cause every man whose seat was threatened would demand special committee to go end 1ooolJ ldbO c Caoo WAlCA CI1o I1ouoc LIlOSG4OAS committee had already examined and wished to report on. Moreover, the Democrats had prevented all debate, and now asked the House to vote without debate and the en- lightenmsnt that gives on 8 most irregular and unprecedented proposition. The Repub- licans in their counter proposal of- fered to give six hours for the discus sion of the question whether the case should be recommitted, in which time the Democrats should bring forward their claims for it's recommittal. The Repub- lican proposition stated correctly that ''there has been no discussion whatever in the House thereon as the House cannot vote intelligent ly with no guide except the mere allegations on one side on any proposition to refer to new committee question which has already been considered by the Appropriations com mittee, but must have the benefit of full and free discussion in order to enable the House to decide the question understandingly." The Democrats yesterday, to the amazement of sensible men, rejected this proposition and spent another day in flibustering The Re publicans thereupon reported resolution to so amend the rules as to put an end to dila- tory movements on contested election cases, regarding them very properly as of such high privilege that they ought to be considered with the least delay. This resolution comes up on Monday and on that also the Democrats profess their purpose to flibuster, and as several said last evening" ito the end of the session if necessary"
 Everything points to 8 very lively time in the House tomorrow The Democrats in- tend to debate the proposition to amend the rules and do not think Keller dare rule dila- tory motions out of order. The Republicans think that the Blaine and Colfax precedents are sufficient and express confidence that the deadlock will be broken in few hours. An other hindrance to progress Is expected In the return to the House of the national bank charter bill. Senator Vest and other Sena tors contemplate several amendments, among them one that coin certificates, not silver alone, shall be issued in lieu of national bank l notes surrendered. It is thought that such ! an amendment will call out an extended de- ! bate in both houses.
 Attorney General Brewster's letter to the | President concerning ex-Secretary Kirk ! woods eligibility for position on the tariff commission was given for publication to day. | It recites the fact of Kirkwoods double resig- l nation from the present Senate and the de- sire of the President and the hope of the l Cabinet that he could be one of the commits ] sion and quotes 8 section of the constitution prohibiting Senator or Representative from
 holding civil office during the term for which he was elected. Attorney General Brewster 1 says the language is too plain to be mistaken,
 that he has searched in vain for precedent
 to help him out of the difficulty, but is forced l to declare that Kirkwood is ineligible.
 The heat of the last few days is driving the families of many Congressmen out of the
 city. Messrs. Keller, Windom, Sawyer and
 Cameron have become interested in the Wau- ! kesha Springs and hope to colonize them sometime this summer. The British minis ter goes to Newport and others of the diplo-
 matic corps will divide between Newport and Atlantic City.
 Diplomatic circles are on the qui vive for the arrival of Madame Beatrice, the new, ac
 credited envoy extraordinary of Costa Rica to this country. She is 8 native of Al abama, but has lived in Costa Rica many years. She is said to be 8 lady of remarkable
 brilliancy and we'll calculated for the position. The report that George s. Bell, custodian
 of the vaults at the bureau of engraving and printing, was discharged for suspected com plicity with counterfeiters of government dies is officially denied. The facts in the case are that certain dies were removed from the
 vaults on Bells order, but instead of being
 returned were found after hours lying on the
 desk. This being brought to the notice of Secretary Folger he at once dismissed Bell
 for gross carelessness, distinctly stating that
 there was DO charge or suspicion against the
 custodian's honesty.
 In the Star route cases yesterday the de-
 fense entered several objections to the 1n-
 dictments and long arguments followed.
 Judge Wyle ruled in favor of the indict-
 ments and MT. Carpenter noted an exception
 to the ruling This disposed of the motions
 in Dorsey's case. The case of Turner was
 called and Mr. Wilson argued in favor of his
 motion, but before concluding the hearing
 was adjourned till Monday.
 The Attorney General is Investigating
 charges made against United States Attorney
 Stickney, of the Northern district of Florida,
 filed at the Department of Justice by friends | of Bishop Payne, colored citizen who was
 put off train in Florida, in violation, as al-
 leged of provisions of the civil rights act.
 It is charged that Mir. Stiokney when called
 upon by Bishop Payne did not evince much
 zeal in Investigating the cause of complaint.
 The afidavits filed, it is understood, show
 that Bishop Payne was travelling on half
 rate ticket, such as are issued by southern
 railroads to clergymen, and the conductor,
 mistaking it for an excursion ticket, ordered
 the holder to take seat in car with @ num-
 Der of colored people who were travelling on
 half rate tickets. Mr. Stickney, who is here
 making his defense, says that the complaint
 of Bishop Payne against the railroad compa-
 ny is undoubtedly just, and that he had no
 intention, in absenting himself from his office for @ short time. to avoid the complainant
