The New Reciprocity Trcatr.
On the 17th of next month the Reciprocity
Treaty between the United States and the
British rrovinces will expire, and all com
mercial relations between the two countries
Nominally cease. We say nominally, for there
can be no question but that a vast system of
smuggling will at once commence. The
evasion of the revenue laws will become a
regular profession, and the Government be
swindled out of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. The workings of the old treaty belie its
name. There were no reciprocal advantages.
The spirit of the contract was violated years
ago by Mr. Oalt and the administrative
heads of the Canadas. Under it all commo
dities passing from oue country to the other
were to be exempted from local taxation. The
Minister of Finance, in order to circumvent
the treaty, laid a heavy tax on anything
brought into the colonies; not on its introduc
tion, but on its importation. Thus an article
from America was sold in Montreal and Quebec
at a rate much higher than that exacted for
Canadian productions. On the contrary, tho
United States were debarred from tho internal
revenue tax on Canadian goods, so that, while
American manufactures were dearer than the
Canadian in Canada, the Canadian products
were able to underbid our home indus
try in our own market. Tho whole
vital design of tho treaty was thus
frustrated by the duplicity of the Ministers.
In consequence cf this duplicity, this viola
tion of the spirit though not of the letter of
tho law, the Government gave notice on the
17th of March last that tho treaty would ter
minate one year from that time. As it is of
importance that some provision bo made for
the protection of our interests, Mr. Secretary
McCullocii has submitted to Congress the
draft of a new treaty. It provides for the
extension of the present treaty for tho further
term of one year from the 17th of March
next, on the condi ion that Canada shall re
peal all the duties and taxes on salt, cars, lo
comotives, and all of the principal articles
sent from the United States into the Pro
vinces. It also provides for the increase of
the duty on spirits to at least 75 per cent., so
as to equalize the price in the two lands, and
discontinue her tree ports on Lakes lluron
and Superior. The treaty for extension shall
also provide that the United States may im
pose any internal taxes on the productions
of the Provinces, which they levy vpon their
own products of the same kind. Tho Presi
dent is authorized to appoint two commission
ers or envoys to negotiate a treaty with the
United Kingdom and tho Provinces, either
Jointly or severally, to regulate the commerce
and navigation between the respective terri
tories and people of said Provinces and the
United States on terms reciprocally bene
ficial. TheBe new provisions will be only consist
ent with equity. It will be a compulsory de
mand on the authorities near the border to
do Justice to our country, but holding to the
spirit as well as to the letter of the law, and
will act as only a temporary matter, as with
the appointment of the Commissioners will
come a permanent and more elaborate code
for International traffic.
On
the Equalization of Bounties to
Soldiers.
The whole history of the events of tho war
are too vividly impressed upon our readers to
need any repetition here. They all lemember
how five years ago the sound of rebellion first
broke upon the supine indillerenee which had
bound the North lor thirty years. l!ov tho
spell was broken, not as In tho fairy stories, by
the arrival of a hero, but by the sound of an
enemy's gun. It was lu tho spring of 1 SCI
that the purest patriotism of our people was
aroused. It was when all looked dirk after
Bull's Fiun, after Bethel, after Fredericksburg
after Antietam, that those who were trua
lovers of our lund showed their devotion by
their enlistment. The heart of tho whole
nation beat high then, and the question was
not who could be induced, but who could bo
restrained from enlisting. There was no
money oflered there was no promotion promised-there
was no stated term of '"sixty
days and the Rebellion will be over," said to
them, 'lheywent into the strife with their
Jives In their hands. ' hey Joined the ranks
for three years or the war. They fought
without caring for hire, seeking for victory.
Many of them fell; many of thorn have come
back to their homes as veteran heroes. But
the heirs of the dead, or the purses of the
livim?, have not been enriched by one cent of
bounty money.
The end of 1804 and the opening months of
18C5, however, revealed a different tale. The
patriotism of tho North had been drained
during tho first three years. Tho bravest had
gone without Inducement, except that of
duty. They had fallen; tho future looked
dark and doubtful ; tho men of the free States
held back, some through Inability, others
through cowardice, others again through mer
cenary creed and gain. They al! held back,
and the decimated ranks stood with many a
gap unfilled. In this dilemma, It was found
necessary to buy wih gold what could not bo
secured by pride ; and the promise of bounty,
combined with the fear of the draft, secured
the necessary recruits. Th'so men, who,
Influenced by a far less pure motlvo than that
of their predecessors, arrived at tho eleventh
hour, when tho heat of the battle was past, and
the contest was almost ended, have not only
been made equal with those who have borne
the burden and heat ol the day, but are, in
act, paid Iaigo rewards tor doing what was
done by others with far moro devotion and
valor, whilo the men who fought for four years
are left penniless upon their return. The jus
tic is therefore apparent of the proposed
measure of equalizing tho bounties.
By the proposed equalization it does not
follow that any injustico will bo dono to thoso
who, by contract, have secured 700 as a
purchase of their services. But it does fol
low ti nt tho veterans who h:ive dono tho
work deserve at the least an approxi nation
to the sum given to thoso who camo after
them. The veteran who entered the field in
18C1 receives at present nothing ; the substi
tute who joined the ranks in 1803 received
$700. While we cannot be responsible for
any private contract between te latter and
his principal, yet at the came time wo do hold
that the bounty which the Government, State
and city paid the latter should also ba ex
tended to tho former. It is an act of maro
justice; for who Is more entitled than ho who
has carried a bayonet or wielded a sabre
through the darkest day and the thickest
light? Let the proposed equalization there
fore be made, let justice bo done, and tho
people will not complain because a few thou
sand dollars moro are added to the public debt
for the purpose of rewarding those whoso
valor has saved our country and protected
our homes.
I'DE PRESIDENT AND III3 DELEGATIONS.
Mr. Joiinsox has an amiable way of
disposing ol committies and State dele
gations, and were it not that they are as nu
merous as the locusts of Egypt, we should
consider his task a light one. lie has but one
answer to all who come charged with axes
that need to be ground without auy delay.
The government of the lately rebellious
Stales ?nusf he pJaced in the hands of per
sons of unquestionable loyalty. "Under this
sign we conquer" by any device other than
this we lose tho blood and treasure so libe
rally expended during the past four years.
It would be tho very climax of folly to pass
the power back into the hands of those who
have striven with might and main to destroy
us. There is and always was a leaven of
loyalty in the South, though it was po rerles3
for good, so overwhelming was the sentiment
ol disunion.
The solidity and sanctity of the Government
having been secured, this germ should be
cultivated ; and we do not fear but that its
influence will be felt in bringing back to a
true allegiance the unthinking masses of
rebeldom. Mr. Johnson docs not propose
stringent measures. On the contrary, be pro
poses a leniency which the Southern people
have no right to expect. Mr. Lincoln', the
great martyr of the age, did not entertain
feelings of greater kindliness than those ex
pressed by Mr. JonxsoN towards "the erring
brethren," whose hands are yet dripping with
the blood of our brave heroes. At no time
since the close of the war has the action of
the authorities been vindictive or malicious
The victors have shown a wondrous degree of
magnanimity towards the vanquished. Under
any form of government except our own the
leaders of rebellion would long ago have
expiated their offenses upon the gallows or
been rotting in dungeons, Instead of occupy
ing posts of distinction and trust, with the
tacit sanction of the Government, and enjoying
all the rights of citizenship with thoso who
never wavered in the disehargo of their duty.
We are glad to observe that the President
is not to be seduced from the plain path of
duty by ever so specious arguments. Every
office-holder should be brought to the touch
stone of loyalty, and if even suspicion attaches
to him his services should bo dispensed with.
There aro plen'y of loyal men who would
servo the country faithfully ani wull, and
their claims should.not be postponed for the
benefit of persona of questionable loyalty,
l et the reins of authority throughout the
lately rebellious States ba placed in proper
hands, and there will be but little difficulty in
exercising tho appropriate functions of tho
Federal Government wherever its llag floats.
A Eebhl, Tribute. A small coterie of
Rebel sympathizers, located in the immediate
vicinity of Augusta, Geoigia, notify tho pub
lic tl at thev aie collecting funds for the pur
pose of erecting a monument in honor of the
Confederate dead. That the proper attentions
of civilized life should be paid to the dead is a
doctrine tliat we do not des re to combat, but
that traitors should bo immortalized in monu
mental marble Is a scandal that we hope will
never bo permitted by our Government.
Those who fell in e bad cause fill dishonored
graves, and there let their memory rot with
their bones. We have already too many me
morials of treason and rebellion. Doubtless
there are some who would gladly contribute
to 'a memorial of John Wilkes BooTnf
if his worthless carcase Could be found.
Uistory Informs us that some unknown
band dally laid a wreath of immortelles on
the fresh grave of Robespiebbe. Mandlln
sentimentality has not yet run out, and
doubtless a monument to treason would be
popular In cprtaln localities There are clear
indications that the Southern people aie not
yet clothed and In their right mind. When
ever the more violent secessionists feel safe
In insulting the popular sentiment, they
venture the trial. Beaten and overthrown,
the old venom still rankles In their hearts.
Uad they the power, they have still tho will
to plunge us again into the throes of civil
commotion. They accept pardon of their
crime with an overl.earing insolence that is
in itself an Insult to tho nation. We do not
recollect of ever hearing that public measuros
were taken to mark tho spot where Benk6ict
Arnold's bones lie awaiting; a corning
judgment; and yet he is far from being the
worst traitor our country has produced. Let
us do justice to all. If Yancey cannot rest
easy without a tablet, let every Tory of our
Revolutionary struggle demand posthumous
fame. There aie a numbar of first-class ras
cals whoso merits have not as yet boen in
scribed upon enduring tablets.
1 here are certain newspapers In tho loyal
North where books ot subscription could be
profitably opened for tho advancement of tho
cause of glorifying the Southern bravos. Tho
New Toik News is one. The numbor, if wo
remember aright,' is Four Eleven Forty
four. It would be a pity if men who stole so
indefatigably. and fought so carefully, should
not have their names embalmed in alabaster,
so that future generations might know their
virtues and appreciate their worth. We do
not know whether they contemplato opening
an office in this city or not, but we imagine
some few coppers might be picked up in this
city il the proper amount of judicious cflort
w as made.

The plaiutitf in this action is a lady about thirty
two years of age and a resident of New York,
being engaged as a dressmaker for sevei al years.
Defendant, Mr. William A. Husscll, as appeared
on the triat, was formerly State Prison Inspector,
and now resides at Salem, Washington county,
N. Y. An action was brought by the lady against
the gentleman for breach of promise ol marriage,
dnmages being laid at tcu thousand dollars.
Tbere was no'deienso made ia tho action, Mr.
John L. Cadwalader uppcariug as counsel f r
Miss Wiggins. The only witness examined was iho
lady herself, who testitled that while at Sing Sing
in 1808, Mr. Russell commenced his attentions to
her. He subsequently visited her often in Ne
York, and made a proposition of marriage, which
was accepted; their intimacy in this respect con
tinued lor one year and seven monUn, during
which time Mr. Russell wrote witness several
letters, in which he called hpr his "litilo wile,"
used several other enneanng litlrs, and alluded
frequently to their early union in the bond? ot
wedlock. He once or twice put oil the nuptials
on tho ground of pecuniary embarassmeut.
Previous to this statement, however, he in
formed witness that he was worth ono hundred
thoKsaud dollar-. The Ui6t tiruo spec'tiied for
the inarrine to couio oil' was in November,
1S58.
lu 1800 ho married another lady, without
giving plaintilf tho slightest notice of such
action. The defendant was a widower, and had
several children at tho time of proposing to
witness. The wife he niariied in lsGOliad since
died, and he had taken another wite within the
