WASHINGTON, April Iii-Probabilit?s -It is probable that on Monday clear or blearing up weather will prevail ou the Atlantic coast. Partially cloudy weather, with gentle winds, from tho lakes to the Gulf. It is probable that a storm will be experienced on the Pacific coast on Mau? dry . WASHINGTON, April 17.-Members of the High Commiision, though they give no information, authorize the contradic? tion of tho published statements, and intimate indirectly, that little or uo pro gross bas been made; on the other baud, each consultation develops new perplexi? ties. The Republican Senators, after an hour's canons, on motion of Rice, of Arkansas, tabled tho amnesty proposi? tion of Robertson-thus defeating the measure this session. Thc vote stood 20 to 16. Tho Senate refused to recede from the Ku Klux amendments by a vote of 17 to 30, and a.. committee of conference ordered. Tho Ku Klux committee on the part of tho acuate ia Edmunds, Sher? man and Stevenson. It is believed the Conference Commit? tee will modify the Sherman amendment and reject the iron-clad oath for jurors, and that the bill will pass in this shape. The Conference Committee on thc defi? ciency bill have made no progress. The Somite confirmed Clift as Collector of the First Georgia District; Maning, ol the First Texas District; and Rankin, Pension Agent at Vicksburg. It is stated the Sonate will convene in extra session about tho middle of May, to act upon the High Commission s pro? positions. Judge Chase is ou the bench to-day. Tho legul tender case will bo argued to? morrow. In tho House, the Committee on Elec? tions wero authorized to take testimony regarding the credentials of tho Missis? sippi delegation in the House and thc validity of the election nuder which they hold seats. The committee has autho? rity to send for persons and papers. A bill amending th? revenue law taxing dealers in leaf tobacco failed, by -18 to 70. Coburn read a despatch from the Marshal of Tennessee, announcing the assassination of one and the wounding of uuotber of bia deputies. Brooks said tbe officers were serving process against a distillery, aud charged Coburn with trying to create the impression that this was a political assassination, when it was no such thing. WILMINGTON, April 17.-George Apple White, one of the most notorious of tho Robeson County outlaws, wus killed by a party of citizens yesterduy.

Probabilities-It is probable that a storm will be developed by Tuesday morning in the Missouri Valley aud Westward. North-east winds and threat? ening weather aro probable for tbe lakes on Tuesday, and threatening weather on the lower Mississippi Valley.

Tho historian of the fut.urewill-?uqft|r? nb botter ill?stration nf absoluto'unutchy than that presented by the present coudilion of Paris. Not oontent With trampling on tile remains of tho Imperial Government, the "Beds" organised a government independent of the "republic." Nut oontent with fight? ing the Versailles troops, wo read that tbe National Guards, (the troops of tl e Commune,) on tho 8th instant, had a ooufliot amongst themselves in the Rue du Faubourg St. Antoine, in conse? quence of the refusal of a portion of the Guards to march beyond the walls. Several of the most- distingnished of the generals of the army have been killed or maltreated by tho mob-Thomas, Houri and Cliauzy, &o. There is a sub com? mittee within ibo committee of the Co in? muno, which works like a wheel within u wheel, and quarrels at once with thc out Hide world and tho general committee. The Moutmarte mob were at first 1? d by M. Assy and General Lullier. These patriots have fled for their lives. Gene? ral Bergoiet, who led the rioters against the Versailles troops, hus also beeu re? cently arrested. Getieral Cluseret, who figured so conspicuously at Mart-iiiillen with George Francis Trillu ns a Red ol the first water, aud who had been ap? pointed "Minister of War," bas also been seized; and tho Hame fate is said tu j huvo overtaken Deloucluzo, another prime actor in these revolutionary move? ments. The Conciergerie is suid to be filled with priests and nuns-the Arch? bishop of Paris is said tn have been strip- | ped nuked and scourged-tho Church ot Notre Dame du Lorette (uot tue Cathe? dral of Nutro Danie) in the Rue Notre ! Darno du Lurette, uno of tho most ele I gaut quarters of Paris, bas been pillaged, iis has buen the splendid Church of La Madeleino, on tho boulevard of the same name. Wo leam farther by tho tele ? grams that tho insurgents have mad? a 1 j demand on the church for 1,000,000 francs, avowing that they will kill the I Archbishop unless it is paid. We have also tho information that tho Curo of I j the Church of tho Madeleine has been ! assassinated. Aud lastly, that "tho wo? men of Paris have been iuvited to form | j a military organization for the defence of the city." Tho nuns aud priests who j have been imprisoned were arrested on I warrants which described thurn as "citi? zens styling themselves tho servants of a person called God." ! STRANGE WORDS FROM A STRANGE QUARTER.-lu tho course of an article deprecating with much earnestness the proposed mensures now before Cougress, for tho suppression of tho so-called Ku Klux outrages at the South, the Boston Advertiser, tho leading Ridical organ of Massachusetts, declares that: The South must be reconstructed, if at all, by its natural leaders-thc men of ' brains, character aud iufl.ueu.ee-most of whom, of course, were in tbe late war. This is souud policy. This opinion is held by hundreds of unprejudiced peo? ple-old anny officers aud citizens-who have lived aud owned plantations in the South, or have truveled there. The pre? sent state of tb tugs is very bad. Wc have been tryiog to or?alo au unnatural state of affairs, and tho result is a fail? ure, so long as tho ouly intelligent men are disfranchised, nnd the ignorant nnd vicious aro permitted to control matters. All accounts agree that the hostility is not Mt toward tho National Govern? ment, but toward certain obnoxious brack and white people. Now, it is cer? tainly too much to expect a very active public sentiment against the Ku Klux, if nothing better is promised than thu grotesque travesties of governments which wo have seen in many of those States. Lot us try a now remedy, and give braius, and character, aud decency a chanco. First of all, let us atop this wretched Congressional fooling with great communities as if they weru babes or idiots. By attempting to subject whole Slates to tho control of ignorant j blacks and whites, who are both igno? rant and vicious, wu invite the very out? rages of which wo complain. Tho coun? try is sick of tho wbulo thing. FATAL ACCIDENT AT SCRANTON, PA.- ' A despatch to tho Now York Sun, dated Scranton, April 9, says: About 3 o'clock this morning, a squad of tho Zouaves were going out of ono of these buddings I to relieve the guard. Lieut. Weaver ! was in command, and he and Corporal Coro bud already gottou outside. Pri? vate Braino was in frout of the squad, aud was draggiug bis musket ulong the wooden floor. A pile of lumber stood along tbe side door, aud Bruine was j jostled against the lumber so that tho lock of bis musket caught in tho projec? tions, touching it off. It wau loaded with n bull aud three buckshot. The ball passed through Lieut. Weaver's sto? mach, injuring his intestinos, and struck Cort? in the breast, driving ono of the small brass buttons of his Zouave jacket | iuto his heart, killing him instantly. Three buckshot lodged in the Lieuten? ant's book. Ho sank rapidly, and died at 5 o'clock this afternoon. LARGE IMPORTS.-The total imports of dry goods at tho port of Now York for the month of March, gives tho enormous! total of $14.400,775, against 89.702,526 iu March of Just year, and $9,973,506 iu corresponding mouth of tho year before. The total entries for tbo mouth amount to $18,129,012, ogaiout $12.983,106 last year. The inoreuBO, it will bu Been, is over $5,CO0,O00, or a gain of about foi ty per cont.
