Much astonishment has been created here
by the reception Of telegram from Chicago
stating that dispatches from Washington
are published in the Western papers saying
that Gen. Spinner in a recent letter main
tains the correctness of Freeman Clark's
hnaneinl statements eontroyerting the po-
sition Oft Secretary of the Treasury. So
far IS this from being true, that Gen. Spin
ner's efforts were in the opposite direction
and in answer TO Mr.. Clark. ir-
The Secretary Of the Treasury has re-
eelved the following letter.

CONFEDERATION scHEME.
TORONTO, March 2l.--The following is a
brief sketch of the Quebec scheme of con-
which is likely to be adopted:
The provinces are to form five divisions,
namely, Canada West, Canada East, Nova
Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edwards
Island. Each of these divisions is to be
by "a members, appointed by
.he Crown, and to hold office fer life; these
20 form an upper house Of the general legis-
ature. The lower House is at first to con-
sist of 1s6 members, as follows: Canada
West 80; Canada East 65; Nova Scotia 19 /;
New Brunswick Is; Prince Edwards Island
5; Total 1856.
This does not. include New Foundland,
By this apportionment every 1857 people
will have enc representative, and every
It is four years the general legislature
shall have caro- of the public debt etc,
the regulation of commerce, the imposition
Of custom duties, the regulation of excise
duties, the raising of money by any other
mode of taxation, the borrowing Of money
on public credit, postal service, lines Of
steamers, lines Of steamers between the
Provinces and other countries,
telegraph lines, and all such works as
shall be for the general gaod, the
census militia, military and naval
service and defense, Buzers Light house,
&C., navigation and shipping, quarantine
sea coast and inland fisheries, ferries be-
tween any provinces or to any foreign coun-
try, currency and coin. The issue Of paper
money, banking and the Incorporation of
Banks, Savings Ranks, measures, weights,
&C., bills of exchange and prOmissory
notes, interest, legal tender, insolvency, &c,
patents of invention and discovery of copy
rights, IndiAA-lands and the Indians natu-
ralizatiOn and aliens, marriage and
divorce. The criminal law rendering
uniform all or any of the laws
relative to property and civil rights
in Canada West, Eavia Scotia, New Bruns-
wick, Prince Edwards Island, New Found
land. The establishment of a general Court
of Appeals for the confederate provinces,
agriculture and generally all
matters of a general character not reserved
for the local government, the local legisla-
ture will legislate on direct taxation, rais-
ing money on the credit of the provinces,
local works and other matter. Governor for
each of the provinces; Lieut.. -Governer
is to be appointed by the GOv.-Gen. in the
council, his term of service to be Eve years.
He is to bepaid BY the general government;
the Chief Magistrate of the Confederation
will probably be Governor General, for
two reasons, one is that man of ability is
needed for that position; another, that a
Prince will not do on this Continent; Cana
dians and New BrIInswickers do not think
1t is consistent with the progress of the age
to have person Of rank only at the head
of the new States, they do not like or care
for high caste; it will no do in
spite of all small party
may do or say in favor Of il.
The general government is to have canals,
public harbOrs, lighthouses and piers, pub
lie vessels of all sorts, river and lake works,
and their stocks, mortgages and
other debts due by railroad companies, mil
itary roads, custom houses, postoiiiees and
other buildings, except such as may be set
aside by the general government for the use
Of the local legislatures and the government
and property transferred by the Imperial
and known as ordinance pro-
perty, such as arrdbries, drill sheeds, mill
tsry clothfag and munitions of war, and
lands for public purposes.
Public Debts-The General Government
is to assume all debts and liabilities Of each
Province, Canada East and West not to ex-
eeed 8, 100000; of Novs Scotia S, coo, 900
New Brunswick $1,000, 500. It will be
seen from this that the debt of Canada il
