friendly and TO weaker States aud overwhelm-
ing provocation and humiliation inflicted on
gallant but defeated antagonist, are put forward
as the fruit of German triumph. it is to
France-France the republic-and to the wise
statesman now at her head that the world will
look for the better signs and tokens of the i'm

The fancy politics of dogmas, factions
and dynasties arouse no echo in the
hearts Of the French people. The legti-

Orleanists, if we are to believe the reports
given by reliable correspondents of NJ. Theirs

with the invader, and he ''repudates

have frightened all the old women
OF our generation-are now contained and

not been all in vain. Sense, progress, human

coming. All the signs are propitious The
hearts OF nations yearn for peace and brother
hood, and, with these, for liberty. The Ger
man race exults in its prowess and its won
derfu success, and the pageant of the empire
may amuse them for awhile in this their gala
day; but the people, the ''armed nations"
have discovered their strength and feel their
needs. The sublime spectacle Of France, all
SCARED and torn as she has been, arising
before them-greatest in her hour of deepest
pain, morally strongest although physically
most stricken-wili profoundly move the popu-

Europe the new republic will cast broad and
healing rays far beyond the Alps and the
Rhine; and PRACTICAL freedom-lovng Ger
many, as the nearest neghbor and the stur-
diest antagonist of France, may readily

long agonized humanity.

THE CASE OF THE BIGAMIsT GwyNNE.-As

Barnard granted, on motion Of the convict

Fishery Clause.
TORONTO, Ont. May Is, 1871.
The government press here give rather equivo-
cal support to the Treaty OF Washington, while the
opposition papers, on the contrary, very decided
in their expression OF dlsapproval, holding that to
grant to citizens of the United States the right
to fish in Canadian waters may make 1t
unnecessary for the American government to
adopt q policy OF reciprocity. Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick and the journals that represent
the French speaking population Of Ontario are In
favor OF rejecting all parts OF the Treay affecting
Canada The Globe thinks that selflnterest should
direct the people OF Canada In any consideration or

that difference OF opinion In the matter between
Great Britain and the Dominion should be avoided.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The Board OF Direction or the Mercantile Library
have publicly asserted 'that SO long as they have
the control Of this library no further steps shall be
taken TO open the reading rooms upon the Sabbath
They take this position upon the ground
that the trustees OF the Clinton Hall Associ.
alton have informed them that they refuse
to grant their permission. And they inform
that this correspondence will be published in this
mornings papers. BY the constitution OF the Mer.
camille Library Association the days upon which the
library shall be opened are determined by the by
laws which are enacted by the Board OF Directors.
To omen the reading room on Sunday 1t Is necessary
only that the Board strike out the words except
Sundays" from the bylaws. They would not there

articles OF agreement between the Clinton Hall
Association and the Mercantile Library Asso-

such action. Even II they should consider such
action immoral or ileglllinatc they can take no ac
ton except upon the authority of a meeting OF the

Mr.. WILSON G. HUNT, President Of the Clinton

The communication OF the directors OF the or.
camille Library Association OF 2lst June last
presented ny you to the Board OF Trustees OF the
"ClInton Hall Association and referred 10 the Com
mittee ON "Relations with the Mercantile Library
Association
Your committee, after long aud careful inquiry,
have become saJlshed that the movement To open
the reading room OF the library on sundays Is
directly opposed to the views and wishes Of the
great majority OF those who have at heart the best
interests OF the institution and OF the community.
Besides In the three epochs in the history of the
institution viz, when founded III 1870, when re-
moved TO It's present site In 1855, and IN 1864, when
the final debt Of about sixty thousand dollars was
paid, large sums OF money were contributed by our
merchants-a very small part OF which, II any, In
the opinion OF your committee, would have been
contributed III the applications had been accom-
panied with declaration that the reading room or
library would be kept open on the Sabbath
With these views and with the law OF God and
the laws OF our country reatlng to that day before
we recommend That the Board OF Trustees shall
not permit the opening Of either the reading room
or library on Sundays.
