The delegates to the Woman Suffrage Con-
venton at Washington, who urged their claims
SO persstently before the House judiciary
Committee last week, met their match in
the remonst STRANGE against female ballot Pre-
sented by Mrs. Gen. Sherman and her col
leagues, the wives of members of Congress and
prefe ssional men. 1t was a keen piece OF
woman's wit, this protest, which promises to
battle the efforts of those few energetic women
who have so persistently, all over the country,
labored for the realization of their favorlte
theory A member, cornered at the capitol oy
delegation of the sisterhood, may be very
ready to make all sorts of promises to get rid
Of them, but when he returns home to the
bosom of his family to meet a committee of one
whose feelings asd wishes he respects as be
values his own peace, all his previous promises
will be reconsidered. The wives of Congress
men, from present appearances, are moving on
the inside of the circle and can easily nullily
the strategy of the enemy, and as long as a ma
ivrity of Congressman are married mep, the
question of female suffrage will not have much
chance of success in our national legislature
until Stanton, Anthony & Co. succeed in
making converts of the home branch. The
remonstrance of Mrs. Sherman is dignifed and
able, and is sustained by power of brain
which will make contest between the oppos-
ing forces animated and protracted.

IMPORTANT DECISIONS OF THE So
PREME COURT.

wGsH1NGToN, April 10.
The Supreme Court to-day reafirmsa its re-
cent decision under the confscatlon act, hold
ing the act constitutional, and the form Of
procedure valid. This was in the, case Of
Tyler against Defrees,- Eon the Supreme
Court OF the district, involving the title TO GER
tain real estate. The case OF Msiller's execu~
tors, decided before, was one Of personal
estate.
These two decisions will dispose. of the va
rfous other similar cases remaining on the
docket of the court. The court also reversed
the decision of the Supreme Court Of Louisi-
ana sustaining the prescription laws Of that
State, as a bar to an action, on q promlssory
which had not been commenced within
five years. The case is remanded. With direc-
tons to override the plea Of prescription. The
court also reversed a judgment OF the State
Court Of. Connecticut, which exempted from
liability to the income tax the undivided PROFITS
of corporations.

AFFAIRS IN CONGRESS.
Important Movement for Amnesty and
Revenue Reform.

WASHINGTON, April 10.
No Southern nominations. No Executive
session. The amnesty bill, which passed the
House this evening, 1874 to 46, excerpts those
who were members of Congress, and officers
of the army and navy, who left to join. 1.-The
rebellion, and members OF state'conVentions
who voted Tor the ordinance of secession.
The bill was supported by all. the Democrats
and many leading Republicans. Among them
were Banks, Dawes, Ames, Farnsworth, Gar
field. Lynch, Hall, scoield, Kelley, Flndei-
burg, and Sheldon. Among the Southern Re-
publicans who voted nay were: Maynard, Wal
lace, Porter and Elliott, (negro. carpst-basger.}
HOUSE. =.
Bills were introduced allowing the Memphis
and Savannah Railroad to enter public lands;
granting lands to the Selma and Gull Railroad,
and to the Kansas City and Memphis Railroad.

The following resolution paseed-l3O'to d:
Resolved, That this House reafirms the reso-
lutien adopted on the 18th of December, 1870,
by the House of Representatives OF the Forty
irst Congress, declaring that the true prlnci-
pie of revenue reform points to1he abolition
of the internal revenue system, Whion was
created as q war measure to provide for ex.
traordiDary expenses, and the continuance OF
which involves the employment. at the cost
Of millions Of dollars annually, OF an army OF
assessors, Collectors, supervisors, detectives
and other officers previously unknown; and
requires the repeal, at the earliest DAY con-
sistent with the maintenance Of the faith and
credit of the government, of all stamp and
other internal taxes, and that properly adjust
ed rates should be retained on distilled spirits,
tobacco and malt liquors, so long as the legiti-
mate expenses Of the government require the
collection of any sum from Internal e
SENATE.
The Ku-KluX bill was reported from the judi
clary committee with no verbal amendment
except that the law terminates with the next
session Of Congress.
The Democratic side will be brief In arguing
the Ku-Klux bill, and Will probably pass BY
Thursday. Proceedings indicate an adjourn
ment on Saturday. Scott spoke In opposition
to seating Blodgett. Sherman opposed both
Blodgsts and Goldth~ait. Adjourned without
action.

LONDON, April 0.
The government troops now occupy, in
strong force, the towns of Boulogne and AS
nieres. They have unmasked numerous bat
teries between Neuilly and the ramparts.
Many Paris newspapers report that the people
abstain from voting to-day, thereby giving the
death.b!ow to the Commune. The Commu-
n1sts are barricadlng Rue De Riroli. The
Commune made an indirect demand that the
foreign ambassadors arrange the quarrel with
the versailles Government. The ambassa-
doris. however, were reluctant to accept the
responsibility. 1T is stated that a breach at
Porte Maillot gives easy access to the assail-
ants. An assault is expected to-day.
PARIS, April 8.
New York Tribune Special: There hw been
csnaonadisg al day. The Champs Elysess are
completely deserted. The National Guards
are hiding in cross streets, seeking projection
from shells which fall in every direction, many
close to the American Legation. The Yer

cupy S%ablonville and Longchaanps. The draw
BRIDGE and floor Of Port Malllot are broken. A
oCommune bulletin announces that the Yer
saiues troops have been driven from Nenilly
Bridge. and that the National Guards are
eager to advance, but are forbidden. The
Cathedral of Notre Dame has been sacked.
Roehefort vsialy endeavored to save 1t from
pillaae. Nearly all the valuables were plum
dered. The Archbishop of Paris has been
transferred from the Conciergerie 10 Mazas
Prison. General Henry has not escaped. He
was sent to Belrlsle.
The Commune is controlled by a secret
committee, which arrests other members. 1t
has no known chief. Pyatt declares that the
suppression of newspapers is the act OF the
committee of public safety, and not Of the ex-
ecutive committee. Tuesdays sortie against
Chatillon was repulsed with heavy loss. An
incessant fire Is kept up from Forts DIssy,
vanvres and M%ontrouge. The damage donei Is
slight. General vinoy will keep command
