FREE LIFE POLICIES FOR FREMEN.-we are
glad to notice that our rich insurance compa-
MES have opened their purses and created u
fund for the purpose Of comforting, free Of ox-
pense, life policies upon the members Of the
Metropolitan Fire Department and allowing
certain amount per week TO those who may be
injured in the performance Of their duties. The
insurance companies should have done this
long ago. They are particularly interested in
the effectiveness Of the fire department, and
are especially benefited by the fearlcssness
and courage displayed by our gallant 6rcmcn
during conAagration. II IL, however, better
late than never, and II Is hopeful sign 10 see
opulent corporations like our fire insurance
companies contribute to 10 praiseworthy pur-
pose a. the one we refer to. Now, while
our fire insurance companies are In this liberal
mood, II is not out Of place TO suggest 70 our
marine insurance companies the creation Of
fund for the benefit Of the surviving families Of
those officers Of vessels who may perish In their
efforts 70 save human life and property at sea;
and also 10 reward those deserving Of especial
commendation for heroism displayed amid the
perils Of tempest and shipwreck.

PROPOSED CRY MFRovEMENr.--There are q
good many people greatly exercised just now
about city improvements The location of the
new Post ONCE, for instance, is the subject Of
great deal of discussion. Some want it here,
some there. For our part we are perfectly
satisfied with any location that will best suit
the public convenience. One morning paper
wunts post once in tho City Hall Park. Very
well. It is not bad location, although II will
cut off one of the breathing places of the city.
Union square is also suggested as an excellent
place. We are satisfied with Union square,
although, being so far removed from the centre
Of business, its location in that neghborhood
will involve considerable expense to many Of
our citizens whose business places are down
town. No matter for that; If It subserves the
general good we are content. Indeed, IL the
Post Office be located at Coney Island and tho
public are in any way benefited, we are per-
fcctiy content to see it located there, though it
may be some little inconvenience to ourselves
to send for our mail matter to that inhospitable
region Of sand and surf Let the new Post
Office be erected where the city will be most
benefited, and it is all right. We have no OBJ
lection to offer.
The widening OF Ann street Is another qucs-
ton Of apparently great moment if we can
judge from the amount of discussion provoked
upon the subject little penny paper de-
nounces the idea as an incipient swindle, and,
in other such strong terms, condemns it. In
various quarters this Improvement is COM
mended by some and opposed by Others
Very good. If 1t be Of any Importance to the
city to widen Ann street we are in favor of it.
If anything can be gained by shutting itup
altogether, we are quite willing to see II made
a cd de sac Anything for the public good has
our approval, whether in the location Of the
Post ONCE, opening streets or closing them, or
any other measure which can be regarded as
an Improvement to the metropolis, and q
benefit to the citizens at large.

Canadian Rociprocity-The Now scheme
Refora Con ureaa.

Canadian Rcciprocity-Tho Now seneme
Before Congress.
A very important bill Is before the House OF
Representatives, providing new regulations oil
reciprocities in trade between the United States
and the British North American provinces.
The still existing arrangements with them,
known rs the Canadian Reciprocity Treaty,
will expire on the l7th instant, and all our bor-
der people are glad of it; for in its operation
its advantages have been reaped by. the Cana
dians and their provincial neighbors. The sub
stitute proposed in Congress is, first, schedule
of duties upon British provincial products, and,
secondly, system of reciprocities, including,
on our side, the concessions of the free naviga-
ti0n Of Lake Michigan, the Saut Ste. Marie
canal between Lakes Superior and Huron, and
the right of way over certain New England
railroads, in exchange for the free navigation
of the St. Lawrence and the Canadian canals
around the rapids Of that river, and the transit
over certain Canadian railroads, and the right
of way down the st. Johns river to the lumber
men Of Maine. This bill further proposes TO
give the prcvincials the privilege OF the New
England coast line, for the purposes of fishing
and curing their fish, in exchange for the same
privilege to Yankee fishermen along the coasts
Of her Majesty's seaboard provinces. The bill
further proposes the abolition Of the fishing
bounties now allowed to the New England
fisherman to the extent Of three or four hundred
thousand dollars year-a bonus which has for
many years been sectional bone OF conten-
ton. #''s'' - = ~..as' e
Such are the general features Of the bill.
Its details cover schedule OF tariff regula-
tions to which the provincals may object, and
they may protest against the surrender of their
fishing coasts, to distance of three miles from
which our fishermen are now excluded; but
we presume, from the free conferences that
have taken place between the representatives
or ambassadors of the provinces concerned
and the Committee Of Ways and Means, that
the bill is substantially new treaty agreed
upon, and, with some slight notifications, will
be adopted.
Meantime the provincials interested, who
have had taste of the blessings of free trade
with "the Yankees" under this expiring Re
ciprocity treaty, are called upon to consider
the question of their ''manifest destiny" in the
proposition from Queen Victoria for a North
American confederation under the viceroyalty
of a member Of her family. This movement
contemplates consolidation which has been
already declined by Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick; but it is not thus to be abandoned.
An agitation will be apt to follow, which in
due time will gravitate to the easy, natural
and advantageous solution Of annexation to
the United States. Treaties or no treaties, the
laws of trade and the political spirit of the
age ore steadily carrying our provincial neigh
bors in this direction.

is the other way that these utterances of one
position that the Southern States must be kept
out on account of the sentiments of the
people. Thomas, interrogated as to the feel
ing Immediately after Lees surrender, says
that the universal report made 10 him was
"to the effect that the mass of the people were
very happy at the downfall OF the rebellion,
and at their prospect Of soon getting again
under the constitution and government of the
United States" The "mass Of the people"
then were not very good rebels at that time,
and If they now feel less happy at the prospect
Of getting under our government, il not the
inference inevitable that 1t is the course Of the
radical Congress that has made the change!
"Peoplc in Alabama" says Thomas, "think
they have had fair trial in their attempt TO
gain their independence, and have tailed com
pletely," and that is the whole point on which
reconstruction turns, and the only point Of
which we require TO be sure, in order to be
|,certain that. restoration is cafe and proper
The people are satisfied that their attempt
was failure, and have thrown away all the
thoughts and hopes II gave rise to.
Beside this declaration of General Thomas,
and the similar one previously made by Gene
raj Grant, all the statements Of the radicals the
other way arc trivial and trashy. We might, II
any point were to be gained by II, admit the
truth Of all the radicals say in this document,
and inquire-What theni When you have shown
| all this, what have you proved What has all
this got 10 do with reconstruction with consti-
tutional rights and national policyi Nothing
whatever. All this rehash Of the idle gabble Of
Schurz Is impudently irrelevant as TO the great
question before the country. II Is an examine
tion Of the pitiful points Of peoples life, Of
their prejudiocs, their small vices, their likes
and dislikes--things with which the law does
not meddle In countries less despotic than
Austria. And all these little points are quoted
against the South, and . great party tells Us
that these are reasons why the nation should
not re-establish itself In its former strength,
and should not restore eleven great States 10
their natural placee Did . great party ever
before pat forth anything % Lost IN iuseslitY

by Elder Mr.. Kelly, from the
South. Four candidates for member

BUGGY stolen from him last week,
while in attendance ON worship at the
Baptist Church in this CITY, The
horse was afterwards recovered.
DR., Hill, Of QNensboros had ne
gro named Aaron, who went into the
army year or two ago After he had
donned his uniform, he, with num-
Der of associates, went to the house of
his former master, with the avowed
intention of killing him. The Doc
tor, however3 learning of their design,
concealed himself. The negroes, after
abusing his wife and firing their
guns, left. Al few days ago, Aaron
having beensmustered out of. the ser
vice, returned, and he and the Doctor
met and fight ensued. The Doctor
