The RECIPROCITY TREArY.-The Moo,re,,

The HkcIFkocITY TREATY.-Ihe Montrea al
Transcript says:
we regret to see bad state of feeling Is grow
ing mp on both sides respecting the Recjprocity
Treaty between the United States and Canada
Neither side denies the benefit II receives from
tne treaty, but each thinks the other gets more
The American government has put some stringent
interpretations on the treaty, besides cloggfng il
win the yera;ious regulation about Cousul's
fees But IL Is said that the representations of
the canadian gover nTnent on these points is not
well received at Washington on account of tire
augmentation OF duties effected by our last tariff
on American manufacturers. IL is probable that
the forthcoming Presidential message will devel-
op the future policy OF the United States on this
important question.

The Unron copies IN, article on the foreign
commerce Of the United States, giving q sue
cinct view Of grand results for the fiscal year
which ended on the 30th Of June last, and says:
"Comparing the falling of Of exports with
those Of imports In the last fiscal wear, there In

and understanding, Of about thirty millions OF
dollars ~ .e - -'l-
The Union, also, notices that, while our gross
exports fell OF ffty-four millions in value, our
exports of cotton remained almost at identicaIly
the same figures and draws thence, as well as
from the further fact that of the two hundred
and forty-on millions exported from the
country in the fiscal year just ended, about one
hundred and seventy Ave millions was the pro-
duct Of slave labor while only sixty five mil.
lions was the product Of free labor-an argu-
ment that when Mr.. Seward aims to extinguish
slavery, he strives to strike blow fatal to both
sections Of the Union, and especially ruinous to
the commercial emporium Of New York.
Further. the Union, dwelling upon the speech
of Senator Hammond, treats of false issues
among friends and foes"
The IntelIigsneer gives a short notice Of
"Virginia Politics." concluding:
"The result Of the deliberations about to be

SETTLING THE INDIAN Waffle Freeman s
Journal lCatholicl of this week says.

@ The official and unofficial reports Of the close
OF hostilities on the part of the Indians in Wash.
ington Territory attribute the result to the agency
OF the Rev. Father Josef, g. J as one principal
cause. This Is just, and bears out the argument
we used, that the military force already on the
Pacific coast, in the division under Gen. Clarke,
would be ample to settle all troubles with the
emily strengthen the hands Of the Catholic mis-
sions$ies, and through them give assurances OF
simple justice to the more powerful tribes, who
were not .wickedly disposed, but only seduced
into momentary opposition by a sense of wrongs
committed by the whites.n

THE PENSION ACr.-The Attorney General
has recently given decision on the construc
ton Of the pension act Of July 4, 1856, respect
ing the question raised on the application Of
Sarah Hunt, whether allowance should begir
at the date Of the act or at the date of the com
pletion Of proof in the case. He decides thai
the pension begins at the date of the act. unles.
the soldier died after that time-then 1t should

CLAIMS AGAINST FosEIGN PowERs.-Tht
resolution of Senator Benjamin, which wa.
passed by Congress last winter, inquiring Of
the State Department the amount of indeb:
edness to citizens Of the United States by for
eign nations, will be replied to by a communi
cation from Secretary Cas- in the early part Of
the ensuing session; and WILL no doubt, cal
forth q very interesting document.
PAY OF MISIsTERs.-The Attorney General
has decided that Ministers r esdent &C., are
not entitled to any constructive allowance by
way of init, but can only be paid for time ne
cessarily occupied in travelling from the post Of
duty to place of residence. A Minister on leave
and at home at the time of recall, is not paid
for time occupied in returning.

OF business, both public and private, and by
very general attendance at the churches. At the

Points, the children, to the number Of several
thousapd, were RECALLED with the fat of the land
The day passed OF very quietly, except that the
air, from early morning until after nightfall, re-
sounded with the martial music Of the bands ac.
comparing the numerous target parties that pa-
radsd the streets. some scoandrels announced
that q free distribution Of bread and meat would
take place at Union square. The aff.ir was

Those who know Senator Pearcs personally
need not be assured that the manly and gem
erous effort Of Mr.. Corwin, in his defence on
this occasion, is founded on truth and Justice.
He is no card player under any circumstances
But, apropos to the $4,000 story. That
Is made Of whole cloth. No Senator, nor any.
body else, ever won $3.50, 900 from one, or ALL
the faro banks in Washington. The feat is q
matter Of impossibility, because, in the frst
place, no such thing as faro bank with
sioo,OOO OF capital to be lost, ever existed in
me United States. In the second place, the
chances OF the game of faro are such as to make
It utterly impossible that the bank can lose
any such sum to a single player-the chances
Of the game having at least 20 per centum
against any skill on the part of one playing

about is unknown and will probably go down

general repose of tired nature, and in the dim

CART made grab at Manners, and Manners
made grab at swigart. Manners kicked Swi
gartin the rear and Swgart inaugurated the act
of lOcomotion. Manners followed up. repeating
his kicks until swigart's speed, by means of
the additional prOpelling force introduced, be-
came so rapid that the machinery was fonnd in
adequate to the force, and ''oh what fall was
