increased trade by such an exhibition OF Cana
dian reciprocity. What is evidently intended
for threat in this report Of the Canadian Min
lister is in reality strong argument in favor
Of annexation to the United States; Or by
facts and figures it shows the immense prepon-
derance of our trade and commerce with the
other British provinces sover Canada, and
points directly to the necessity Of the absorp-
ton Of the latter province if she expects to
keep her head above water. OF course this is
not the point which the Canadian Minister in
tended to make in his report, but nevertheless
he has made it most conclusively.

The Uu,ac..,on Of Germany.

We have been for some time past prepared
for the announcement which has just reached
US by the cable that the States Of Southern
Germany have proposed a military union with
the Northern States. The current of public
opinion has lattsrly been running strong in
that direction. In view OF the vast national
interests that were to be promoted by the
measure we never conceded any weight to tho
assertion that . difference Of religious senH-
ment would be allowed to operate successfully
against it 1t was no more possible for tho two
great sections Of the German people than II
was for the two similar divisions Of our own 10
remain permanently disunited. Southern Ger
many has no interest in common wi Austria
sufficiently important to maintain such an alien
alton. The first flush Of displeasure over at tho
forced changes which the war had brought
about, It became evident to every one who
watched the tone Of their journals that the
people Of the South would soon cast their lot
with their Northern brethren. That expeota-
ton Is now realized, and there is no danger
that the conditions under which it takes place
will be of character to admit of the easy dis
solution of these fraternal bonds. Count Bis
marck's electoral address shows that it is tho
intention of the Prussian government to deal
generously and kindly with the States that have
hitherto held aloof from it This being the
case, there is but little doubt that the policy
which has so long directed the course of tho
leading patriots of Germany will be fully
carried out and that we shall see that great
country taking the lead in political as shs has
hitherto done in intellectual progress.

Jonathan Oldbsck On nIsney Matters.
I We publish to-day . communication from
our old, esteemed and practical friend Jona-
than Oldbuck, Of Wall street. on tho subject Of
Che contraction Of the currency, which we COM
mend to the notice of Secretary McCulloch
and the supporters of his financial policy. 1t
contains some common sense suggestions cal
culated TO play sad havoc with the arguments
Of financial theorists. While they sit in their
closets and compose essays ON the danger Of
expansion and in favor Of resumption Of
specie payments, they are too apt to overlook
the fact that tho experience of the men who are
on the market every day and whose lives
have been spent In acquiring knowledge of
the laws of trade and Of me operations Of
financial and monetary systems il Of greater
practical value than all the information they
can derive from boaks and statistics.
The facts that the country is prosper
Gus, that the prics of gold has fallen
gradually and Gas for some time been free
from any great fuctuation, that money is easy
and that <ll our resources have been abun-
dainty developed within the last few years,
are undeniable. Would this have been the
case had our currency been contracted and
the resumption theory adopted Immediately
on the cessation of the war? There is some
thing attractive, it is true, in the cry for
"specie payments" but the producing classes
and the mass Of small traders, who are the
most apt to be misled by IL, would be
the real sufferers, If tlR attempt should
be suddenly made to contract the cur
rency to specie basis Jonathan Old
bnck, OF Wall street, takesla sound, sensible
view Of the question, and puts his case in
such plain, straightforward manner, that we
are inclined to hope that u may disperse the
financial fog in which the Secretary Of the
Treasury has 80 long BEN enveloped and
make plain to him the rod to healthful
financial policy

report or synopsis 4 the State census
taken in June of last year has been prepared
by DR.. Hough, who is sal to have superin-
tended the compilation ofIhe returns, and is
very properly published i'm paper famous for
its figures and lis blunders, It is the greatest
piece Of statistical absudity ever put in
print. There is ON old ad&e which SAYS that
figures cannot lie; but ifDr. Hough has not
accomplished more difadlt task than squar-
ing the circle, by proving in bis report that
figures can lie, he has at Inst established the
fact that people can lie INST egregiously with
figures. This ."emlpept s4istician" shows BY
his tables that the popultion of the city Of
New York has diminisl,d, since the last
United States census, by early one hundred
thousand souls, and et, at the same
time, he shows that the voters have
increased some twent thousand. In
1860 the population Of h city was eight
hundred and thirteen thound and the votera
ninety-three thousand. It1s65, according 70
DR.. Hough, the populationFas seven hundred
and twenty-six thousand Id the voters ono
hundred and thirteen thtsand. In 1860 the |
voters were about one In line Of the popula-
Hon. The same ratio in b65 would give the
population of the city atlbout one million.

vets Of tho Colorado Bill.

The President returned to the Senate yester-
day the bill to admit the State of Colorado into
the Union, with message containing his
reasons for refusing his approval Of the mea-
sure. The main objections to the bin are that
the population is not sufficient to entitle the
Territory to assume the position Of State, and
that the people, through their representatives.
have protested against being forced into the
Union without having the question submitted
to them for their decision. The first Of these
objections appears to present quite sufBcient
justification for the veto. AT the last session
Of Congress similar bill was passed and was
returned without the signature of the Presi-
dent In the message then sent to the Senate
it was stated as reason for the veto that the
population Of the Territory was not be-
lieved to be more than fifty thousand.
Since that time census has been taken, and
the population is found to be less than twenty
eight thousand, or under one-fourth of the
number required as the basis Of representation
for single Congressional district in any of the
existing States. The veto of last year was not
acted upon by the Senate, but while 1t remained
on the table the present bill was passed
The President gives other reasons for with
holding his approval from the bill, and fur
nishes table setting forth the population Of
the several States admitted since 1871, with the
existing ratio of representation at the time Of
their admission. In that period Florida and
Oregon are the only States whose population
at the time of admission was less than the basis
of representation. 1t seems out Of all reason
that while the ratio of representation is one
hundred and twenty-seven thousand q State
with only twenty-eight thousand inhabitants
should take its place in Congress- with two
Senator'S and one Representative. As the Presi-
dent says, if Colorado should be admitted there
can be no good reason why Dakota, Montana,
Idaho and other similar Territories should not
follow suit. The Nebraska bill has not yet
been returned, but it will probably share the
fate Of Colorado.

It is stated that in consequence of represen-
