The Canadian Reciprocity Treaty.

If there is any truth in the following we feel little
impulse to introduce matter so roprOachful to our
public men with the jocoSe exclamation of the New
York Tribune, from which copy the following and
its caption. We only add that We must indulge a
decided incredulity in the premises:
o Ho!-They are in hot water in Canada despite
the rgorS of the climate and the The Fenian
scare is off and on, like the ague; but the ministerial
and reciprocity broil keeps everything seething.
Briefly it is broadly charged that Mr. George Brown
resigned the Premiership rather than sanction or
acqulesce in the eXceptonable steps resolved in by
his colleague to secure at Washington the success of
a new reciprocity arrangement; and while his sue
cessor, the Hon Ferguson Blair, undergoing
election in Parliament, he was 'speered at as fol-
lows:
DIR. Clarke Will you sanction the payment of any
amount OF money for purchasing the votes of mem
hers Of Congress for reciprocity before such eXpendi
ture has been resolved upon by Parliament?
Mir. Blair. Certainly not.
DR.. Clarke 1t has been rumOred that the cause of
Mr. Browns disagreement with the Government was
his objection to voting secret service money until the
SANCTION of Parliament was first obtained
Mr.. Blair. There is no foundation for the rumor
DR.. Clarke. Well; there is no use in blinking the
{aet m@t there ,r be tayge amount Of spent
sanction ITS payment before the House of Assembly
Mr.. Blair. Of course shall not.
Mr., John McRae. Have you any objection to
stating what terms have been proposed to the Gov
there probability Of their Being aceep ahg %ne'ner
Mr.. Blair. That is thing cannot speak of.
MI. Mchae wen, the secret Is known to more than
twenty people in this country and has been spect-
taed upon IN the market here by Mr.. Howlands par
ticular friends. ~
The Toronto Globe whose editor and proprietor is
Mr. Brown, the late Premier in publishing the above
says
Mr.. Blair has no doubt correctly stated that the
cause OF Mr. Browns resi- gnation was his strong dis
approval of the course taken by the Government in
regard to the American reciprocity treaty.
And significantly adds that
Enough must be gathered from Mr.. Blair remarks
to see that giving publicity to the cause of variance
while the negotiations pending could only have
done injury.

The following circular from General Spinner con
tains important information:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
TREASURERs OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, February l, 1876
SIR: 1t has been Represented to this office that
number of national banks located in the cities where
clearing houses are in operation, have estimated de-
posts subject to duty from the balances after ex
changes at the clearing house. and not from the
balances at the close of the day. required by the
regulations.
As the former method cannot be accepted as cor
rect and as the return does not upon its face show
the method pursued it has seemed to me proper and
necessary, in view of the representations above re-
ierred to, that should address each bank in such
cities an inquiry in respect to this matter.
whether, IN making up the semi-annual return of
your Bank for the six months preceding January /,
1866 you estimated the average of deposits from the
balances at the close of the day. from the balances
after the exchanges at the clearing house?
An early reply to this inquiry is respectfully re-
queSted
In the event that the regulations in this respect
were not complied with by you, have to request
that an additional return be furnished which shall
contain statement of the average of deposits est-
mated from the balance of deposits at the close of the
business of the day, in of the average of bal
ances so returned made up after the exchanges at
the clearing house; and that you remit to this office
an amount equal to One-quarter of one per cent on
such difference of computation.
Very respectfully,
+. E. SPINNER Treasurer T. S
