THE NEW DOMTNTCN.
Discussion in the Dominion Parliament on the
Rights Of Americans and Canadians
in the ST. Clair Canal.

OTTAWA, May Il, 1872.
In the House last night Mr.. Stephenson moved an
address for the correspondence respecting the
seizure by United States customs officials Of the
steam tug and barge, the property of Hiram Little,
in St. Clair Flats canal. lie referred to The circum
stances Of the seizure ana the expenses incurred
by Mr. Little, and thought the matter ought TO be
fully Investigated.
Mr. Mackenzie said he would like to know how
the government intended to proceed IN the mat
ter. The question was a serious one, as involving
the rights OF Canadian navigators by the treaty il
had been assumed that the canal was American
property The americans were aggressive IN men
fraction OF their rules OF liehterage &c. Now, IL
was important to know how this matter stood
under the present treaty, for MI Littles property
was seized presumably for q violation OF the rcgu-
lations governing American canals. BY the Pre-
mer's explanation the canal was admitted 10 be IN
American territory.
Sir JoHN A. MACDONALD said there could he no
objection To this motion being granted. lie did not
know that his honorable friend would make any
use OF it after he had seen IT, The United States
authorities gave up Mr. Titles vessel without de-
handing The costs. As regards the canal the
treaty did not in any way deal with the boundary
in these waters Under the treaty OF 1862 all cham
nels between the islands situated in the st. Law
renee were free to both nations aud still remained
free. no matter whether they were on the cana
dian or the American side OF the boundary. The
Americans he believed. made the canal, under the
impression that il WAS IN their own territory. IT
the map signed BY Porter and Barclay, two Eng
undoubtedly in American territory. some
OF the Law officers OF England had
expressed the opinion that that map was concu-
siye evidence Oh the question Of the boundary.
on that opinion Her Maiesiys government were
bound to act, and therefore settled the question.
The treaty gave the OF the canal on precisely
the same terms the American citizens. ii the
honorable member could show by Messfs. Porter
and Barclays map that the canal was on our terri
tory we could st assert right to IL, ior the
treaty in no way affected our boundary rights
Mr.. MACKENZIE contended that The canal question

Mr.. STEPHENSON said IL time the question
was settled. az it was one that ght arise again.
and Il was time they should know whether Cana
dams had a right TO trade IN American territory
without let or hindrance fgom Americans.
After some further discussion the molten was
carried.

Judge Black, OF Pennsylvania has been inter
viewed, and declares that Greeley would make
good candidate but poor President. AS ''avall-
ability" is all that has been desired in a Presden-
tial candidate for many years past Greeley is there

The question now among democrats in Washing

marks or adhesion TO the principle Of the cohesive
power of public plumber"
The Washington correspondent Of the Boston Al

has written letter in favor OF Greeley. Perhaps in
favor of the Cincinnati platform, but hardly, we
think in favor OF the Cincinnati candidates.
