The AMNESTY BILL PosTPoNED.-At eau

morning lively discussion resulted in vote
Of sixteen yeas to twenty-one nays against the
consideration of the Amnesty bill during the

should have gone down to the South together
with the Ku Klux bill, If only as q sugar
coating Of bitter pill. Thus some spirit OF
concession would not only have tempered, but
also rendered more efficacious, determined
spirit of coercion. If there be any doubt that
the Amnesty bill will be passed at the next
Congressional session, the pressure Of public
opinion in the interval will certainly remove It,

WINANs proposes to issue an address to the

stood that he will seattle some OF his repub-
lcan friends in the address. We think 1t best
for Winans TO let this matter drop as quietly
as possible. 1t is not for him TO stir it up any
more than he can help, nor to fling dirt at his
late political associates. II he likes to wallow

WHOLESOME CAUTION TO BANKRUPTS.-In

law, by Judge Blatchford. party fled his
petition and made oath that the schedule of
his Indebtedness attached to the petition con-
tanned full and true account of his debts and /
of all the claims that could be made against

subsequently turned out that the bankrupt had
deliberately omitted from his schedule liabili-ii

The Judge holds that the bankrupt hasr "wil-

the discharge must be annulled. fhis is a

treated with consideration and justice, those
who by falschocd and fraud seek 70 cheat their
creditors will meet with the Fdenanciation
which their crime deserves.

The Hcrald's Correspondence from Paris
and Versaiilcs.

and versaiileo.
Our coIuh, to-day contain full particulars
of the late ev.'nts in and around Paris and
Versailles. Flush>ad with excitement and
animated with the belle. that success would
crown their attempt the LEAF srs of the Com
muno led their forces ION to Versailles" to
meet defeat which those who de,sire the
prosperity OF France glory in. The letters of
our correspondents describe the men of
whom the Commune is composed. So long as
they had only terror-stricken population to
contend with they were successful; but in the
conflicts near Chatilon, Fort valerien and the
Bridge of Neuilly, where armed men were
opposed by armed mon, disastrous failure
attended those who fought under the blood
red flag Of the Commune. The effects of
these defeats was already beginning to tell.
Immediately after the repuse of the YER
sailles movement the military abilities of the
Communal leaders were discussed in the
streets of the capital, and In many instances
the opinions expressed did not embody
very complimentary estimate Of the merit of the
chiefs of Paris. The truth Of the matter, judg-
ing from the views of our correspondents, both
in Paris and Versailles, and supported as they
are, by the testimony of other writers, u.s. that
the reds are frightened at their own acts
that they have reached their highest point of
power, and that decline has already begun to
make itself evident. Many of the Parisians
who now murmur against the administration
Of the men of the Hotelde Vile will, ere long,
speak boldly in denunciation of their course.
It is absurd to imagine that the present state
of affairs can prevail, and that the pro-
gress Of an entire nation can be re-
tarded by the course of the men who
lead what can only be regarded as gigantic
riot. The people of Paris-the thinking,
Industrious, honest people of the capital
have no sympathy with these rebels. The
great mass Of those who ill the ranks of the
Commune belong to the same classes as those
who inaugurated the riots in this city in 1868,
and conducted them in murder, bloodshed and
robbery. The reign of these roughs continued
until the strong arm Of the law brought il to
an end. Paris, like New York, was taken
unawares More than that the capital of
France was almost helpless, unable to defend
herself from either foreign foe or domestic
enemy, and this dark hour of her suffering was
taken advantage OF by the men who now
draw the nation to its destruction. Had
France an army these men would never have
attempted the acts which will forever brand
their names with infamy.

that the barn and shed adjoining were on

her little boy, four years old, was in the
barn. Every effort was made to dis
cover him, but without avail. The house
was burned, with all its contents, except
such rs could be hastily saved by the
ncighbors. The flames burst in upon two
young men who were clearing out cham

Among the disputed matters that have

in session at Washington, is that of fish
cries. The basis is simple and salts

be permitted to fish anywhere in Canadi-
an waters, at any distance from the shore
not three miles but half mile if they
wish-for anything but shad and salmon.
In return, Canadian fishermen, including
Nova Scotians, etc, may enjoy a similar
privilege on our shores. If this arrange
ment shall be consummated, it will doubt
less prove to be final and satisfactory
settlement Of this long pending quarrel.
Canadians will no doubt object to it, as
being onesided, in that the best fisheries
are on the banks off New Foundland, and
off Nova Scotia and New Brunswick
coasts. and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
