By the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and Great Britain, the burdens of restricted intercourse have' been again laid?npon Canadian producers, ; and the result is manifest in the strong and growing sentiment in 'favor .-of ' political union with the great republic ; to counteract which the Government ol the Dominion is using every effort to' bring about another convention - for reciprocity of trade. r ''" ' ou- ::; hit Canada Is not Utopia yet.! Its taxa tion is high, and its facilities for procu ring loans for' internal improvements limited, owing to the extravagant system adopted by its authorities in administering previous trusts : the C government of the Dominion is cumbrous and costly, and its peogsfo see - that i the scheme was projected; for the benefit of but a few politicians' anxious to perpetuate their power and bask in the : sum shine of semi royal splendor. :.i In 1861 one of its prominent officials informed the writer that the debt of the two Prov-t inces East and West amounted to 88 per acre upon the entire amount of land then actually under cultivation. Immigration merely passes . through it on its way to the North-western .States and Territories of this republic, and at the present time a formidable exodus is taking place among that excellent class, the hardy, industrious, economical French of Canada East K .. u . .1U . It is curious to observe, upon public occasions-r agricultural- dinners,- etc., etc when the citizens of French and English descent are brought together, certain overstrained courtesy, . the superficial gloss of compliment, which only half conceals a deep ; antipathy . of race. This Jealousy., continues to crop out in the halls of legislation. If aot internal improvement is projected for Western or .Central r Canada, a rider to the bill is immediately attached in the shape of a pier, a half, a mile or. a, mile long, to bo built out .into the St. Lawrence from some small French-Canadian village down below Quebec, or some other expensive and , unnecessary work, to equalize the appropriations.;. Under the Dominion these antagonisms .have become still deeper, and the dissatisfaction is still more decided, particularly in Canada West. Here : the burdens of non-reciprocity are more seriously experienced; and - from the , character of the inhabitants", their, proximity to ( the border, and the identity of their , intercats with those of their,- neighbors, under wise political action, upon this side the overtures for annexation . will first come, and the card-bouse; of the Dominion tumble to pieces by the removal of its base of support. iu -j , ,y It is self-interest. .' and that atone. which will decide the question. Conversing with a prominent : Canadian, some ono remarked . that with., annexation Dronertv in the Dominion would . ad vance in value the next day full twenty per cent. 'Yes,' was the reply-4 nearer fifty.' Hence the question., may safely be left to the arbitration of time. . Giv cn, ten years, possibly five, of the existing commercial , status, and Canada West will be in the. American UnionHow long the remainder can stay put does not, require much consideration.

The weather is so extremely hot here there iano pleasure "tatiTingr Bricks, marble and sidewalks are burning hot in this city, and only occa aiunally Jo we get a fresh breath of air - The principal visitors we have here now are from the Sooth, many of whom only tarry with us a day or two, on their way north to visit old friends who, perhaps they hare not seen since before the rebellion. The result -'of the Virginia ' election is having much to do with their nuxneroas. arrivals. . I hare never known a time during my six years residence bere, when ' the people of different parties were so universal in predicting a glorious'' future for this country as they are now.' Times are dull to be sure, money, scarce and bat little to do for the laboring man and ,1 regret to say that . marketing in Washington is almost as high as it was any.' time dutiog the war yet with crops generally good, and a prospect of Virginia being properly reconstructed, the people are hopeful.... .., , f!; P- . c ;; . CLKRKS. , ... . ...... ' X '-- The beads of the different Departments have about concluded their changes In their respective bureaus, and there is. but little inducement for office-seekers to come to Washington now. . The changes in the Departments hare thrown a great many penniless clerks who ate 'illy prepared to seek a livelihood, on the ekizena of Washington. How they live, God only knows. They have experienced their seed time and harvest, but have laid by 'nary red.' In the days of prosperity when they were drawing from Uncle Sam's purse sums, varying' according to the class tbey respectively belonged, from $1,200 to $ 1,80 ft a year, many of them who had no one but themselves to support, held high beads and were considered at borne, no doubt, of Some ' considerable importance, and that the Government could not well - dispense with their services.

' It is done in this way : 'Jones, wo will pame him for convenience, received his designation for examination before the board of examiners, and reporting to the proper officers, he is straightway put 'through a course of sprouts.' ' Seated at a table in a nicely carpeted office, he perhaps indutgea in pleasant anticipations of future comfort, easy work these hotdaya and good pay. But he is too fast. He ought to remember the old adage about counting chickens. Bat he knows that be baa a good business education, that he has - heretofore been engaged in work far more difficult than any which can be required of bim here, and why should be anticipate a failure in the examination T He does ' not know that they aro more or less 'severe in proportion' as the Board is desirous be shall succeed or fail. The usual questions in Mathematics are all solved ; then writing, spelling,' composition, statement of accounts, Ac. Then follows a host of puzrles, -impossible problems and questions, bearing no possible relation to the work proposed, the sole use of which is. to procure the failure of the poor puzzled and worried applicant. One who was up to all the tricks of the examination having been fully prepared before presenting bim self, was rejected because the sample letter which lie was requested to . write was too poetical I The Department requires the services of men with every conceivable style of education for the multifarious employment which they furnish..

Wilcox is in New York, pitching in to the New, York Tribune. , He cannot hurt the Tribune by, pitching into it so much as be hurts the 6ause ot woman ' suffrage in this city by advocating it. At least so th ' women think. 'Daring-the past two years in jwbiob. Washington t has been 'afflicted with the self -styled 'professor,' his only earthly ob jeet bas seemed to be to make himself notorious. To this end he attended all public meetings for whatever purpose organized, generally managing to get introduced aa Professor, : or else introduce himself thus, never missing an apportunity of getting his name in the city papers. Nobody ever knew of what science or institution he was Professor, and nobody ever cared, i But everybody understood thorougly that he was a Professor. , A year ago when the peace convention held its session in this city, Alfred Love presiding, Wilcox rose to make a speech, and was introduced to the audience as Mr. Wilcox. He took the trouble to correct tba President, 'saying he was Prof. Wilcox of Washington. But hia favorite mesas of attracting attention to himself and his professorship, has been riding ;th woman's rights hobby" His' championship of the eanse was so Injudicious, his own appearance was to ridiculous, and -his conceit and egotism so apparent, that, the better portion of the women who organized, the society here remained away from the meetings on his account." 'Tbey are sincerely rejoiced to heii'ot him Its Sew York, doing' nothing more quixotic t that 'pitching into the Tribune.' ; The Professor is a young man of perhaps 25 or SO years of age, and ' about six feet high,' stout, quite fleshy, pale, wears spectacles for near sightedness, and carries with him an air of the most forlorn absurd, lackadasical importance imaginable. . , , i : . . , 1. j-.-t ;. , v..

Important Decision A decision in reference totbe right of 6ttlers on the ChoctaTr5 neutral lands in Kansas has just been.- made- by IIon7J. D.

Sir I have carefully examined vour report of the 21st ' of April, relative to the communication of WvR. Langhtor, Esq., claiming to represent - certain set tlers of, the Choctaw r neutral lands in Kansas, in their , behalf asking the sale of those lands to J. F. Fay, under a con tract with this Department, dated June 8, 1868 ; and that the - settlers be allow ed to purchase the tracks so settled up on.-I now return to vou Mr. Lanp-ator's letter, with the request that you will in form Hon. S. Clark by whom it was referredthat the Department can recognize no : rights in the class of settlers represented by Mr. Langh tor, and therefore declines to take the. action applied for. ' In the same report you bring my notice to the fact that the settlers upon the lands which have been heretofore reported by the appraisers as entitled to them, and the parties thereupon have not been notified to make payment of the appraised value of tracts awarded them, giving as a reason for not complying. with the ' instructions of this De partment (of the 28th of Feb., last) the want of an adequate clerical force . in your office to make the proper compari son or the tract books with the place of survey. In order to remove this diffi culty ; and close ; the , Whole business with as little delay as possible, you are authorized ' to employ the necessary clerical assistance in 'case' of contested claims upon lands settled upon prior'or at the date of the notification of the treaty concluded with the Ckerokee3, July 19, I860. You will be governed alone by the award of the Commissioners. ' :: '' ' Signed, - . ;- , .. J. D. COX, . . - , 7 Sec'y of the Interior. To the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Important Banking Decisions. Several important decisions of great interest to the public have recently been made, wlncli we abridge as follows ; 1 'The payee of a " check for more than the depositor's actual balance in bank can lay no claim to the actual balance. An action in Massachusetts upon a note made and payable in New. York, without any special "interest agreement, can recover only the legal rates of interest in " Massachusetts, 3 though less than the legal rate in New York. A note dated on Sunday, made and delivered on ia secular day, i9 not void on account of prohibiting work or labor on the Lord's day. . r T . . Innocent omission of revenue, stamps may be remedied in suits by subsequent stamping inv presence of Court. ' Inno cent omission does not render paper invalid or inadmissible in evidence. " A note signed by a mark may be val id J3 gainst. the maker though there, be no witness , to the, mark. ; Any. marks or characters, intended by the marker or endorser of a note as his signature, will bind him. -- , There is universal complaint among farmers of the scarcity of hands to har vest the crops. The prices paid to day laborers in some sections are high, so much as 82.50 and even 83 a day. Of course' this lasts - only through the pressure of the harvest season, but men can readily obtain from thirty to forty dols lars per " month and1 board where they engage by the month and approve themselves as good workers.1 A man of economical habits can save at least fifty per cenVof this ' sum,' or ; more say two hundred dollars a year, an amount suf ficient to purchase the' nucles of a farm of his own, on which he can begin to work as an independent man.' The impression "that all the available lands for tillage have been taken up Is a mistake.There is hardly a State to be natned iii which ? :tliere are not tens of thousands of acres lying waste,' -; awaiting the hand of industry. It is within the - reach of any Tindustrious, ; careful man, to' put himself .in possession-' of a good farm within five 3'ears, and have it under cultivation, i Why is it, then, that in our cities hundreds of able-bodied men will persist in living in indigence, ; picking up chance jobs and trusting to luck toescape starvation ?. They are wanted in the country,' and' there their labor will tell, not only upon the general productiveness of. the land, but upon their own prosperity. fiWhen . we see young men of i. good '.constitutions and vigorous health. funning about from store toatore and from ; office to office, . begging for employment, and? making pitiful faces, we can but regret i.theiric want of. goods sense and lack of. capacity ta perceive the direction which they have only to take to relieve themselves . of all embar rassments and . assure a comfortable in. dependence. fCin.

' t guess she never had him twitch off her best cap and toss it in a mud-puddle. I guess she never had to give up her hummingtop to quiet the baby and had the paint all sucked off. I guess she never saved up all her coppers a" whole winter to buy a trumpet, and. then was told she 'must not blow it, because it would make a noise ! . ' "NoI guess Aunt Libby don't know much."
