The Rrcent Deadlock.

The recent deadlock will long be renlem-
bered in congress. There has been nothing
like it since tile Democrats tried to de-
feat the counting in of Hayes, which was
broken by Speaker Randall declining to en-
tertain any further filibustering. lie ordered
the clerk to inform the senate that the house
WINS ready to proceed with the count, and 10
was through him that tho deadlock was bro
ken. An hour after this Hayes was declared
to have received q majority of the electoral
votes, and he was thus Mnde president just
two DAYS before Grants term was ended.
There was deadlock in the Forty-flfth con-
gress on contested election, and the Forty
sixth congress died in deadlock.
During the cventful two weeks under con-
sideration many night sessions were held, ana
the Capitol ut night is ono of the great sights
of the world. Seated about 300 feet above
the river. on the heights of Capitol Hill, &c
can be seen for miles around looking like an
illuminated temple. Its 1000 windows
blaze with light, a spiral form Of burning
jets runs up into the dome, and the whole
looks like great golden cross with small,
yellow snake lowering in the air above it.
The view from the front at night is Inagniii-
cent Standing on tho steps of the Congress
sional library, one sees spread out before
him great black, inverted sky, in which
the consultations of stars beneath vic with
those of the dark blue armament overhead.
Washington, the City of Magnificent Dis
tances, is Lighted from ono end to the other.
Long lines of jets mark out its
broad. avenues Crescents and rings
of flame arc seen here and there in the places
of the numerous circles, and consultations OF
light show its squares and star lit parks.
Pennsylvania avenue is the milky way across
this black sky, and The red lights Of sti Get
cars, herdics ard carriages fit here and there
over it like the will O. the wisps of the Dismal
swamp. The great Capitol building at a
night session is all ablaze. thousand globes
burn in the lobbies and! passages and their
mellow light bathes the polished marble Tito
a softer glow Statuary hall becomes alive,
and the marble figures of the men of the past
are viyified The paintings show brighter
and better, and by gaslight Pocahontus loses
her coarseness as she looks out of the paint
inc in the rotundn, and the stiffness of the
statues vanishes. Carpenters Letter.
