UNRESTRICTED RECIPROCITY.
A Discussion In the Canadian Parliament
Pro and Con.


Pro and Con.
OTTAWA, ONT, March 19.--The Budget
debate was continued in Parliament to-
night. Mr. Cockburn, of Toronto, is a
hrm believer in a national policy of pro-
lection, and is opposed to the schemes for
unrestricted reciprocity or commercial
union. All the Americans wanted was to
get the trade Of Canada and give nothing
In return. It Canada, as the opposition
contended, really wanted closer trade re-
lstious, it would be better to look
back to 1777, when the United States made
her offer, which still holds good. This
offer was an invitation to Canada TO be-
come a portion of the American Union on
che same terms SIS the States forming the
Union. Then the resolutions of Congress-
man Hill were endorsed by the Canadian
Liberals, who pretended to want only un-
restricted reciprocity. The resolutions,
continued the speaker, declared commer-
0ial union, and this meant political union,
and the Liberals could not deny it, Com
meTcial union would abolish ;he custom
house and discriminate against Eugland in
return for her sacrifices in favor of Canada.
Mr.. Medil cOntended that Canada should
continue to look to England as a market
I'll the sale of he surplus agricultural prod
ucts.
Mr. Temple (Liberal) came out in reply
in favor of unrestricted reciprocity.
Hon. John Haggart, Postmaster Gener-
al, went on to prove that unrestricted re-
stricted reciprocity aud commercial union
were enc and The same ing, especially as
they both required a common American
tariff. This, he claimed, would be die
eliminating ageinst England.

Sherifrs Posse.
SKowHEGAN, Me, March 19.-For some
years there has been a dispute between
the towns of Pittsfeld and Detroit, in
Somerset couuty, this State, as to the
necessity for building bridge over the
Sebasticook river, to connect the two
towns.
The citizens of Pittsfeld have been in
favor of building the bridge, while the
Detfoit people opposed it. Finally the
County Commission eis ordered the bridge
to he bailt, at Il cost Of s.. OOO Tie bridge
wac built last year, and one.half Of its
cost assessed on Detroit, whose citizens
held meeting aud determined to refuse
to pay the assessment, and to resist any
attempt made to collect it.
On Thursday last a deputy sheriff from
Pit;sfeld, with n large armed posse, cross
ed over to Detroit to seize the personal
property of citizens to the amount of the
claim. The Detroit people were not ex-
pectug The posse, and the latter succeeded
in gettpg possession of thirty-eight head
of cattle, twenty-seven sheep, several
horses ard a number of farm wsgO1s,
which they took over the bridge and plac-
ed under guard in Pittefeid. The news OF
theseizare caused great excitement through
out Detroit, and eliminated in the organi-
cation of band of one hundred men, arm
ed with revOlvers ard horse-pistols, who at
eigh. o'clock on Saturday morning march
ed 10 Pittsfeld They had with them writs
issued by a Detroit justice, authorizing
them Ia recover the seized properly.
TIE determined appearance and actions
of the Detroit party completely Overawed
the Pittsfeld people, and the cattle and
Other property were taken by the invaders

Of Is istance on the part of the PittsfeldeJs.

County Commissioners express their deter

dent to-day withdrew from the Senate the
nomination of Eugene Schuyler, to be As
sistant Secretary of State, which was made

Committee on Foreign Relations, after
consideration of the case, asked that the
nomination he withdrawn, coupling the
request, il is understood, with an intima-
tion that otherwise it would be reported
adversely.
This action was taken on account Of sn
assault made by Mr. Sc Ter in his book,
entitled American Diplomacy" npon the
late Elihu Washburne, re1ectiI upon
his official conduct while Secretary Of
Stste, together with reflections upon the
administration Of President Grant aud the

AS STRONG BACKING.
An., Ost Donath Endorsed by German and
Ex-senator Davis.


WASHINGTON, March 19.-The chances
of the appointment of August DOnath, of
Pennsylvania, to be Public Printer, are
considered extremely good by those who
hear who his supporters are.
He is backed, it is said, by Senators
Quay and Cameron, and also by Senator
German. This means a good deal of in
huence. The desire of the proprietor of
the MAILED hand" and his colleagues is
20 control the extensive but minutely di-
vided patronage.
Mr. German is understood to be con-
cerned only to protect something like a
hundred proteges in the Printing Office,
but to help him to dc this he can rely upon
the assistance of the Pennsylvania Sena-
tors, ex-senator Davis of West Virginia,
and steve Elkins, for all these are
animated by one desire when it comes to
patronage. The fact that ex-senator Mil
Ter has indicated his personal desire that
a New York man shall be named, is not
likely to count for much against the re-
quest Of a trinity so strong as that of Quay,
Cameron and German.
