Tho Government co uti nues to temporize

shoot pur prisoners, and intend the
'overthrow of the Republic and tho sup?

' Another account says tho Government

Both sides fought.well, but the Govern?

tho present oonld be found for passing

that a vote be deferred upon tho pending
motion. During further discussion,
Trumbull charged that tho efforts of tho
opponents of the bill for delay were pur?
posely designed to defeat action on the
measure, and warned its friends that it
would bo next to impossible to have
acted upon if they now allowed it to go

WASHINGTON, April Iii-Probabilit?s
-It is probable that on Monday clear or
blearing up weather will prevail ou the
Atlantic coast. Partially cloudy weather,
with gentle winds, from tho lakes to the
Gulf. It is probable that a storm will be
experienced on the Pacific coast on Mau?
dry .
WASHINGTON, April 17.-Members of
the High Commiision, though they give
no information, authorize the contradic?
tion of tho published statements, and
intimate indirectly, that little or uo pro
gross bas been made; on the other baud,
each consultation develops new perplexi?
ties.
The Republican Senators, after an
hour's canons, on motion of Rice, of
Arkansas, tabled tho amnesty proposi?
tion of Robertson-thus defeating the
measure this session. Thc vote stood 20
to 16.
Tho Senate refused to recede from the
Ku Klux amendments by a vote of 17 to
30, and a.. committee of conference
ordered. Tho Ku Klux committee on
the part of tho acuate ia Edmunds, Sher?
man and Stevenson.
It is believed the Conference Commit?
tee will modify the Sherman amendment
and reject the iron-clad oath for jurors,
and that the bill will pass in this shape.
The Conference Committee on thc defi?
ciency bill have made no progress. The
Somite confirmed Clift as Collector of
the First Georgia District; Maning, ol
the First Texas District; and Rankin,
Pension Agent at Vicksburg.
It is stated the Sonate will convene in
extra session about tho middle of May,
to act upon the High Commission s pro?
positions.
Judge Chase is ou the bench to-day.
Tho legul tender case will bo argued to?
morrow.
In tho House, the Committee on Elec?
tions wero authorized to take testimony
regarding the credentials of tho Missis?
sippi delegation in the House and thc
validity of the election nuder which they
hold seats. The committee has autho?
rity to send for persons and papers. A
bill amending th? revenue law taxing
dealers in leaf tobacco failed, by -18 to
70. Coburn read a despatch from the
Marshal of Tennessee, announcing the
assassination of one and the wounding
of uuotber of bia deputies. Brooks said
tbe officers were serving process against
a distillery, aud charged Coburn with
trying to create the impression that this
was a political assassination, when it was
no such thing.
WILMINGTON, April 17.-George Apple
White, one of the most notorious of tho
Robeson County outlaws, wus killed by a

NEW YORK, April 17.-At a meeting of
tho stockholders of the Texas Pacific
Railroad Company, for the purpose of

Directors until a mooting bo called by
the President, after fifteen days' notice,
given in a paper in New Orleans, Wash?
ington, Memphis, Philadelphia, New
York; also, n notification by mail to each
stockholder.
Probabilities-It is probable that a
storm will be developed by Tuesday
morning in the Missouri Valley aud
Westward. North-east winds and threat?
ening weather aro probable for tbe lakes
on Tuesday, and threatening weather on
the lower Mississippi Valley. No seri?
ous disturbance is probable for thu

A young officer not over fond of fight?

nf absoluto'unutchy than that presented
by the present coudilion of Paris. Not
oontent With trampling on tile remains
of tho Imperial Government, the "Beds"
organised a government independent of
the "republic." Nut oontent with fight?
ing the Versailles troops, wo read that
tbe National Guards, (the troops of tl e
Commune,) on tho 8th instant, had a
ooufliot amongst themselves in the Rue
du Faubourg St. Antoine, in conse?
quence of the refusal of a portion of the
Guards to march beyond the walls.
Several of the most- distingnished of the
generals of the army have been killed or
maltreated by tho mob-Thomas, Houri
and Cliauzy, &o. There is a sub com?
mittee within ibo committee of the Co in?
muno, which works like a wheel within u
wheel, and quarrels at once with thc out
Hide world and tho general committee.
The Moutmarte mob were at first 1? d
by M. Assy and General Lullier. These
patriots have fled for their lives. Gene?
ral Bergoiet, who led the rioters against
the Versailles troops, hus also beeu re?
cently arrested. Getieral Cluseret, who
figured so conspicuously at Mart-iiiillen
with George Francis Trillu ns a Red ol
the first water, aud who had been ap?
pointed "Minister of War," bas also
been seized; and tho Hame fate is said tu j
huvo overtaken Deloucluzo, another
prime actor in these revolutionary move?
ments. The Conciergerie is suid to be
filled with priests and nuns-the Arch?
bishop of Paris is said tn have been strip- |
ped nuked and scourged-tho Church ot
Notre Dame du Lorette (uot tue Cathe?
dral of Nutro Danie) in the Rue Notre
! Darno du Lurette, uno of tho most ele
I gaut quarters of Paris, bas been pillaged,
iis has buen the splendid Church of La
Madeleino, on tho boulevard of the same
name. Wo leam farther by tho tele
? grams that tho insurgents have mad? a 1
j demand on the church for 1,000,000
francs, avowing that they will kill the I
Archbishop unless it is paid. We have
also tho information that tho Curo of I
j the Church of tho Madeleine has been !
assassinated. Aud lastly, that "tho wo?
men of Paris have been iuvited to form |
j a military organization for the defence of
the city." Tho nuns aud priests who
j have been imprisoned were arrested on I
warrants which described thurn as "citi?
zens styling themselves tho servants of a
person called God."
! STRANGE WORDS FROM A STRANGE
QUARTER.-lu tho course of an article
deprecating with much earnestness the
proposed mensures now before Cougress,
for tho suppression of tho so-called Ku
Klux outrages at the South, the Boston
Advertiser, tho leading Ridical organ of
Massachusetts, declares that:
The South must be reconstructed, if
at all, by its natural leaders-thc men of '
brains, character aud iufl.ueu.ee-most of
whom, of course, were in tbe late war.
This is souud policy. This opinion is
held by hundreds of unprejudiced peo?
ple-old anny officers aud citizens-who
have lived aud owned plantations in the
South, or have truveled there. The pre?
sent state of tb tugs is very bad. Wc
have been tryiog to or?alo au unnatural
state of affairs, and tho result is a fail?
ure, so long as tho ouly intelligent men
are disfranchised, nnd the ignorant nnd
vicious aro permitted to control matters.
All accounts agree that the hostility is
not Mt toward tho National Govern?
ment, but toward certain obnoxious
brack and white people. Now, it is cer?
tainly too much to expect a very active
public sentiment against the Ku Klux,
if nothing better is promised than thu
grotesque travesties of governments
which wo have seen in many of those
States. Lot us try a now remedy, and
give braius, and character, aud decency
a chanco. First of all, let us atop this
wretched Congressional fooling with
great communities as if they weru babes
or idiots. By attempting to subject
whole Slates to tho control of ignorant
j blacks and whites, who are both igno?
rant and vicious, wu invite the very out?
rages of which wo complain. Tho coun?
try is sick of tho wbulo thing.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT SCRANTON, PA.- '
A despatch to tho Now York Sun, dated
Scranton, April 9, says: About 3 o'clock
this morning, a squad of tho Zouaves
were going out of ono of these buddings I
to relieve the guard. Lieut. Weaver !
was in command, and he and Corporal
Coro bud already gottou outside. Pri?
vate Braino was in frout of the squad,
aud was draggiug bis musket ulong the
wooden floor. A pile of lumber stood
along tbe side door, aud Bruine was
j jostled against the lumber so that tho
lock of bis musket caught in tho projec?
tions, touching it off. It wau loaded
with n bull aud three buckshot. The
ball passed through Lieut. Weaver's sto?
mach, injuring his intestinos, and struck
Cort? in the breast, driving ono of the
small brass buttons of his Zouave jacket |
iuto his heart, killing him instantly.
Three buckshot lodged in the Lieuten?
ant's book. Ho sank rapidly, and died
at 5 o'clock this afternoon.
LARGE IMPORTS.-The total imports of
dry goods at tho port of Now York for
the month of March, gives tho enormous!
total of $14.400,775, against 89.702,526
iu March of Just year, and $9,973,506 iu

The total entries for tbo mouth amount
