Bloody Work in Paris.

The most startling news comes from Paris
The insurgents, consisting of red republicans
irrational guards" Sdns c,lo'tes and canaille,
who refused to acknowledge the provisional a
government of NJ. Theirs and had taken pes
session OF the Notifications on Moutmsrtre,
have broke out in open rebellion. Generals
Thomas, Lecompte and Vinoy, who were sent
to treat with them were seized, tried by a
drum head court martial and instantly MUIR
dered, under circumstances of peculiar atroci-
ty. and the brave Gen Chauzy, who also fell
into their hands, was so brutally maltreated
that he hes IN hospital at the point of death
The insurgents then pointed their guns on
the city, compelled the members otthe Theirs
government to flee to Versailles, and are now
in possession of the city north of the Seine.
The murders of the Generals named were
committed, it is said, under command Of Ric-
ciotti Gayibadi, who claims that Thiers is
about to restore the pope to his temporalities,
and renew the French occupation of Rome
SO that the uprising has something of the an
ti-rehgioUS. deistic caste of the revolution of
'S9. BY others it is alleged that the revclu-
tionary movement is melted by the Bonapart-
lists, who look for the restoration of Napoleon
after the reign of terror that must succeed
the fall OF the Theirs government.
The revolution appears to find no sympathy
or Countenance outside of Paris, and the be-
iefIs, that when the Theirs government shall
have had time to collect its scattered armies,
the instruction can be overwhelmed and
crushed. The committee at the head of the
insurgents, among whom are Louis B lane and
Rochefort, pretend to disown and denounce
the murder of Gems. Thomas, Lecompte and
Viney, and profess willingness to treat with
the Theirs government for the preservation of
order
Thursdays dispatches from Paris mention
an outbreak at the Place Vcndome, where
the insurgents fred upon the crowd killing
and wounding some thirty persons. A des-
patch is published from Count Won Bismark,
in which he tells Theirs that if he is unable to
master the instruction before Sunday. the
Germans will return and occupy the city.

SOo0AS~s
Congress is doing nothing, having come to
dead lock between the two houses ON the
question of ku-klux legislation. The senate
has passed resolution proposed by Mr..
Anthony, resolving in effect not to adjourn
until deficiency appropriation bill and an
ansi-ku-klux bill have been passed, and s
joint committee Of investigation upon the
south shall have been raised while the house
has set its face solldy against any further re-
construction or anti-k c klux legislation at this
session, and sticks to ats resolution to adjourn
to-day. Butler was allowed to introduce his
ku-klux bill on Monday, but 1t was lmme-
diately referred to the judiciary committee,
which is not yet appointed: while the SEN
ate is awaiting the report of a ku-klux bill
from its judiciary committee, which Trumbull
says is unable to agree on one. Suspicion is
gaining ground that congress is kept in ses-
sion at the behest of the President, who is
daily expecting the arrival OF the San Domingo
commission, and wants congress to act on their
report. This was made pretty palpabls by
the action of the president on Thursday, in
sending message to the house, insisting on
legislation for the suppression of the kuklux
before the adjournment. The house referred
the message to a special committee, which
postpones final action ON the adjournment
resolution indefinitely
The three newly elected members from New
Hampshire have been admitted raising the
democratic force in the house to l0l.

Illinois Legislature.

Considering the earnestness with which the
Legislature has worked during the past week,
it is surprising that it has accomplished so
little. The house spent several days in dis
cussing the senate railroad bill, fixing fares at
) cents Per mile, and finally rejected it, pass
ing in lieu ofit the lIlldrup hill, fixing fares
by sliding scale at from three to five cents a
mile. The senate having repeatedly voted
against the same principle, and the house adj
herring stihy to it, Of course no measure on the
subject can pass both houses
On the subject OF pcniteNtiary, the senate
has finally rejected all propositions to lease
that institution, and adopted bill which
abohshes the penitentlary commissioners as
elective officers and vests their appointment IN
the governor. They are authorized to ap-
point warden, and let the labor of the con
victs to the highest bidder
The house has passed most of the senate ap.
preparation bills for the different state instltu.
tions, but hangs back on the river improve
ment bill, which it is feared will be lost.
Peoria is making a dead set on the legisla-
ture to remove the capital to that city, and
offers to save the state from all expenses on
account ct the removal. The legislature &C.
cepted an invitation to go ts Peoria and
"view the ground" yesterday, where they
were doubtless sumptuously entertained.
The house has passed resolution to ad-
journ on the 10Th inst and hold an extra ses-
sion next winter ut Chicago, but the senate hes
ltates to second the movement 1t is more than
likely, however, from present indications, that
the legislature will hold session next winter
in Chicago.
