TM: CANADIAN RECIPROCITY TREATY.

Tli3 .2Veze York herald of November 6, 11:.,a
:marks on the renewal of the reciprocity trz.,,ty

Canada. During the last Eesaica c f Congress
G er.eral Sehenck introduce I a s e solution author-
ising the President dating the recess to inquire
into the propriety of reviving the reciproci y
treaty with the British provinces. This resolution W:l3
passed., and it is said that the visits of Mr. Rose, the Cana-
dian Finance Minister, to Washington during the summer
had for its object the revival of the treaty. A
treaty has been actually drawn up to he sent
to the Sera's, and the Protectionists are scrieuslyalarmed.
They aro in their turn organising a formidable resistance,
and Judge Kelly, of Pennsylvania, the leader of what aro
termed the "Tariff' men" in the House of Representatives,
has gone to Washington for the express purpose of
opposing the negotiation of the treaty. He has collected an
array of statistics which he thinks will substantiate his case,
and laid them before the President at the White House.
He argues that since the expiration of the treaty the
American Government has gained largely by the duty on
the import of coal, lumber, and cereals, the three prin-
cipal articles exported by the Canadians, while the export
trade has been actually heavier than when the treaty was
in force. The Americans have, therefore, gained by the
abolition of the treaty, and to revive it would be to give
i!le provincials a bonus of some two millions a year to stay
out of the Union. A powerful " lobby," as the Americans
term it, is being formed at Washington, to carry the
measure through Congress, and it is thought not unlikely
that they may succeed in doing so, notwithstanding
**milieus opposition of the tariff men.

INDLIN Mr.RDERS.
The report that Colonel stone and his party had been - -
killed by the Indians at Ap ache Pass, Arizona, is unfortu
nately confirmed. Official accounts state that the attack
was made at night, and was a complete surprise. The
Indians were led by white men, and their motive seems to
have been cupidity. They have, it is said, a know-
ledge of greenbacks, and facilities for disposing of
them. If this be so, such knowledge was probably gained
from the white men who act as their leaders. They slaugh-
tered the whole mail rarty, and afterwards attacked a
herd of cattle belonging to some Texan emigrants, killing
one man, and driving off 250 cattle. Apparently meow-
aged by the success of these outrages, they twice attacked
a Government train en route for Camp Bowie, but were
repulsed. Troops have been sent in pursuit of them. We
have yet to learn with what success.

THE AUERICAN CAPITAL

An effort is being made to counteract the influence of
the capital movers in the West. A raper has been pre-
pared fJr :presentation to the President, which requests
him to notice the matter in his forthcoming annual mes-
sage, and to discountenance the projected removal. Ho
is asked to use his executive influence in stopping an agi -
Lakin which can do no geed. 'The document recalls the
fact that the site was selected by the Father of his country,
and that the city is rapidly growing in population- and
beauty, and in a few years will be worthy cf the capital of
a great nation. It remains to be seen what conrse the
President will take. lle has as yet given no expression on
either side cf the controversy.

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG.

It was recently announced that a deputation from the
inhabitants of North Schleswig had proceeded to Berlin to
present a petal n to the King of Prussia, praying for tho
execution of the fifth article of the Treaty of Prague.
The petition wr s very numerously signed, but the deputa-
tion, on reaching Berlin, could neither obtain an audience
of the King, nor of the Ministers. It is even stated that a
subordinate of the Foreign Office told them they should
never have relied on the fulfilment of that article. This
is not, however, authenticated. The French papers
publish a telegram from Berlin, stating that the King of
Denmark had forbidden his ambassador in that city
to receive the delegates, considering that they were Prus-
sian subjects.

tHE SAXON CIIAMBEILS AND DISAMIAMENT.

The Saxon Chamber of Deputes very recently passed a
motion concerning disarmament by a large majority. Their
triumph is, however, only theoretical, since the King has
declined to take any steps to further the object of the
motion, and also refuses to eupuort +*• in the Federal
Council.
