The Amnesty Question.
PARIS, July 9th-The committee of tbs
Senate has adopted an amendment to the
amnesty bill proposed by General Pellissier,
excluding incendiaIies and assassins, and per.
sons who have been condemned after due trial,
from the benefits of the bill. Jules Simon,
addressing the committee after the adoption
of this amendment, said he should always be
of the opinion that the committee should vote
down General Pelissier's motion. He re.
minded the House that the most guilty Com.
murists were those condemned in contuma-
cion, and consequently undefended, and that
it would, under this circumstance, be unjust
to pardon such men while Others were ex-
Guided from the proposed benefits. If the
Senate voted amnesty with limitations the
agitation in the country would continue. The
second I4rt of the BILL in the form proposed
by the committee, was adopted-14l to 123.
The Senate then agreed to the amendment
moved by Mionord, proposing that the excep
ton by the bill against murderers aud in.
cendiaries shall not apply to eonvicts whose
sentences have already been committed The
bill was finally passed by 176 to 9S.
