PARIS, May 8l.-A most revolving
sight occurred this morning on the plaza
10 front Of the Hotel de Vile. Thirty.
three communist, among whom were
sever women, were shot in body BY
company of soldier. Around three sides
Of the square troops to the number Of

Of Col. Guisot. At 8 o'clock the pris.
ousis who had bseH confined in the coal
cellars back Of the porter's lodge in the
Hotel Do Vile, werc brought out,
their hands tied behind their backs, and
then marched out by the main gateway
through . double Sle Of soldiers, and
having reached the centye Of the wide
area IN front Of the Hotel de Villo, wero
ranged in row aud made TO kneel down
close together. There was nothing on
the whole plaza but three empty scaven.
ger carts which stood in . line st the
rear Of the prisoners. When the COM
pany was in line and ready to FIRE, Col.
Guizot stepped forward and told the
prisoners 10 few words that they were
to suffer death for having been caught in
the act Of setting ere to buildings and
dwellings in Par's. At this moment the
women uttered piercing screams and
began to sway themselves back and forth.
An officer stepped forward and made
them keep still with the fat of his sword.
A few moments afterwards . volley was
fred, and when the smoke cleared away .
most horrible sight was presented. Three
of the women who we're in the middle
row between the men were still living
and wri,hiug ia awful agony. A second
volley was fred, and a third, and not
until the sixth, did all the prisoners
cease to live. The dead bodies we're then
thrown into the three scaveuger carts and
carried away to be buried.

claims that the right Of suffrage without
regard to race, color, or previous condi.
ton Of servitude, 10 now guaranteed BY
che Constitution of tho United States,
aud that TO reverse this policy would
require the concurrence Of three
four.hs Of the States in amending the
