Fort McIntosh,
Major Merriam states that:
man and two women were killed by
deliberate shots. After protest to the Mexi
can commander, placed twelve FOUNDER
in position near the custOmhouse, and notl
fed the Mexican commander that no fur
ther shots from his troops would be r0!er-
ated. Lieutenant Saxton, in charge of the
gun. says he was fred on many times
deliberately by these troops; consequently
he fired two shots over their position, at
half-past one o'clock yesterday, and no
more shots have been fired at u.s. Shall |
continue to defend our side against deliber-
ate attacks. or not! Revolutionists are still
beyond the town, but have not molested
u.s."
To this General Ord replies that Merri-
am must defend the town and his troops
against the attacks of either party; also,
that the case of Mr.. Diamond had been
referred to the proper authorities at Wash
ington.

The Jockey Club Races.

The first race of the spring meeting of the
Louisiana Jockey Club will commence on
Saturday next. Che ball opens at three
O'Clock IN the afternoon with . two mile
hurdle race. followed by an engagement for
three year olds, mile heats, and concluding
with contest for all ages, two miles. 1t Is
believed that by Saturday the weather will
have settled down to steady, clear business,
and that the track will be in excellent con-
dition. The roads leading to the course
have been greatly improved, and the pros
pect fo- large attendance is good. Those
who do not own conveyanses will be quite
in fashion by taking the street cars, as was
the case at the fall races. Subscribers to
the privileges of the Fair Grounds are re-
minded that to gain admittance during the
races they must exhibit the tickets issued
for 1876 and all should 60 provided with
the proper cards, that no dissppointments
may occur.

In the Heuse Of Deputies.
VERSAILLES, April 1l.-In the House o
Deputies N. LeBland, reporter of the COM
mlttee on various amnesty motions, read q
report, which declines to advise the passage
OF any amnesty measure whatever, but rec
ommends that the government display
clemency in individual cases.
The Bonapartists, in order to cause q
division among the Republicans, moved
that the question of amnesty be discussed
Immediately.
Mercard, Minister of the Interior. stated
that the government considered it useless
for deputies to Immediately vote law
which the Senate would be unable to dis
cuss until after the recess.
N. Duval (Bonapartist) stated his friends
introduced the motion because they wished
TO test the value Of the Republicans as q
government party. While they thought
the amnesty question ought not to be de-
layed, the Bonapartists, he said, would not
offer systematic opposition to the consti-
1noro was violent alteration between
NJ. Duval and Minister Ricard, because Of
a remark made by the latter that a fallen
party like the Bonspartists had no abdica :
cation to offer. The minister reminded NJ.
Duval that the deposition of the empire
had been confirmed by the recent elections.
N. Duval again declared that the Bona :
partists were not irreconcilable enemies of
the constitution. They desired above all
things to see advanced Republicans who
triumphed at elections seated on minis
terial benches. A postponement of fur
ther debate on the amnesty question until
after the recess was ultimately voted by
the Chamber by . large majority. all the
groups of the left, without exception, sup.
porting the government.
Republicans regard this result as con-
frmati0n of the vote of the Bordeaux As
sembly. by which the empire was formally
deposed. The Chamber also deferred con
sideration of three disputed election Gases
until after the recess, and adjourned until
the tenth of May.
