Several speakers addressed the meeting last even
ing, urging the adoption OF the regular ticket The
speakers were E. T. Reed, who presided; william
II. Meekem, Henry @. Cooper, who made
very humorous address, NJ. G. d. Border and r. c.
Allen, the two last named being ex-presidents OF
the association. The meeting was most harmonious
and very pleasantly conducted, every one present
seeming to feel assured OF the defeat OF the reform
ers and jubilant over the prospect OF another vic
tory for the old management.
THE RADICALS.
A meeting OF the reform party OF the Mercantile
Library Association was held last evening at Plimp-
ton Building, and was largely attended.

dressed the meeting at some length. f. ]. Wright
followed III few remarks. William Ii. Cory spoke
to the same eject A. w. Green said the Mercantile
Library Association was organized In 1920 by few
clerks, desirOus OF improving themselves ana their
class. In 1880 the Clinton Hall Association
was formed by some merchants, to hep CLERKS
along. II. b. Lloyd advocated opening the
rooms on Sunday. T. G. Campbell charged the
regular party with fraud ana corruption lie had
in his Office afiidavits from two men who had
voted, one OF them twenty and the other thirty
times, receiving five and ten dollars for so doing.
j. II. Mackenzie and Mr.. Dancer followed In the
same strain. Theodore Allen saw the brother IN
law OF the chairman vote six times last year. until
finally the chairman said, IL guess you had better
stop. BILL" several other speakers spoke in the
same strain. The following resolutions were
adopted
Resolved That the members Of the Mercantile library

the of the directors Of library refusing to
cede to the wishes OF the members that the reading be
opened on Sunday.
Resolved, 1hatwe do hereby the officials OF the

ton to pack the last annual meeting and thus deprive the

TIE TREATY IN THE NEW DOMINION.

Discussion of Its Provisions Among the Cow
ernment Observation-Disclosures With the
Fishery Clause.
TORONTO, Ont, May Is, 1871.
The government press here give a rather equivo-
cal support to the Treaty or Washington, while the
opposition papers, the contrary, are very decided
in their expression of dlsapprova 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 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 seIfinterest should
direct the people Of Canada In any consideration OF
the Treaty while at the same time IL recommends
that difference OF opinion in the matter between
Great Britain and the Dominion should be avoided.
Opposition to tho Treaty in the New Bruns-
wick Assembly.
ST. JOHN, N. g., May Is, 1871.
The House OF Assembly Is now debating the
terms OF the new Treaty, which is meeting great
opposition.

The .sud.cuIs' Reply.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
The Board OF Direction OF the Mercantile Library
have publicly asserted "that SO long as they have
control Of this library no further steps shall be
taken 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 the reading room on Sunday 1t Is necessary
only that the Board strike ont the words except
Sundays" from the bylaws. They would not there
by conravene the spirit or the letter OF any OF the
articles OF agreement between the Clinton Han
cation. No one OF these requires tie con
sent OF the trustees, either before or after
action immoral or regliilnatc they can take no ac-
ton except upon the authority OF a meeting OF the
shareholders. In view OF the present state OF public
opinion concerning this matter do not believe
that majority OF such men as the shareholders OF
the Clinton r" Association can be persuaded to
day. day. ''S WILLIAM LAURENT BAILEY, Y. sun

NEW YORK, April 25, 1871.
Mr.. WILSON G. HUNT, President Of the Clinton
Hall Association
The communication OF the directors OF the NJ err
camille Library Association OF 2lst June last was
presented ny you TO the Board OF Trustees of the
Clnton Hall Association and referred 10 the Com
mltee on "Relations with the Mercantile Library
Associations
Your committee, after long and careful inquiry,
have become satisfied 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 or the
institution viz, when founded IN 1870, when
moved to ts present site In 1855, and, III 1864, when
the final debt Of about sixty thousand dollars
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 SO
contributed II the applications had been accom-
panied with a declaration that the reading room
library would be kept open on the Sabbath
With these views and with the law OF God and
the laws OF country relating to that day before
us we recommend That the Board OF Trustees shall
not permit the opening Of either the reading room
or library Oh Sundays
