Some of the experi ences of the police have been extremely ludicrous, and as related at the station-houses excite much mer riment. One old woman, who owned a pig and kept it in her room, put a postage stamp on his (the pig’s, not the officers) snout, and then defied the “limb of the law” to remove the porker at his peril! Pigs will have to live out of doom now. A MODERN HERCULES turned up to-day and wanted the Board of Health ’Ho give him a job. His plan, as he unfolded it to the as tonished official Samaritans was to erect immense force pumps at convenient points on both sides of the city, and pour great volumes of water into our streets, al most virtually turning the courses of the East and North rivers into our modern municipal Augean Sta ble, thus in a small way imitating Hercules in turning the river Perreus. It is sufficient to say his plan was not adopted. PRICE, 5 CENTS A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE is being organized over in Williamsburg, and they hold their first meeting to-night. The “Burg,” as it is called, now a part ot the city of Brooklyn, and has been the scene during the past year of more lawless ness, murder, robbery, rapine, arson, burglary, gar- roting, and highway depredations than this big city of New York. It is Joss than three weeks that a large crowd of roughs created a riot which lasted several hours, during which several stores were -completely gutted, their proprietors beaten, and not until some two hundred police arrived from New York was the riot quelled. A few days since, in broad day light, a jewelry shop on tho principal street was entered by two ruffians, who murdered the proprietor, took all the jewelry they could carry and left, since which they have not been seen. Children are robbed of their clothing, ladies have not only their purses snatched but their furs and capes taken from them; and no citizen thinks «f retiring at night without his brace of revolvers under his pillow. It is a nice place—is Wil liamsburg—and a vigilance committee is sorely needed. A MURDERER escaped justice a few days ago in Brooklyn through the agency of his counsel in a manner which has led to much speculation among the respectable citizens of that city as to whether somebody was not culpable, or whether the laws are defective. Your readers will re member that a vessel was boarded while at anchor in East river, by river pirates, a class of scoundrels quite numerous. The captain of the vessel and his mate were murdored by them. The murderer was arrested, a true bill found against him,—when his counsel had him taken before a judge on a writ of habeas corpus, and demanded his release on the ground that the crime was committed in another county! The Judge re leased him—he has not been heard of since ! THE SAND-liAU GAME has been revived here, and will probably be exported from this to j our city bj' the villains who have been practising garroting lately. Two robberies have been committed through the instrumentality of this instru ment in our thoroughfares. The process is simply a blow on the top of the head with a rubber bag about two feet long and six inches iu diameter filled with sand—the victim sinks noisely, stunned by the vio lence and suddenness of the blow. The robbers then “go through” him—leave him prone, and the police find a lifeless carcass which requires hours of hard work by physicians to resuscitate. A HEAVY OPERATION, is reported about town, which reflects but little credit on the operators interested. It appears that an immense number of old brass and iron cannon were recently purchased of the government at an auction sale, the purchaser^ paying two and a half cents per pound for them. During the past week the purchaser sold them to an agent ot one of the revolutionary enterprises now in vogue, for eighteen cents per pound, the pay to be one-half in bonds, the other half cash. So far it may be considered a good business transaction—but, here’s the questionable part of the affair—the agent die ides the half cash with the person ot whom he bought the cannon, thus pocketing a very large sum of money, and tho other nearly doubling his money originally paid, beside holding an immense sum in bonds, which may, perhaps, (!) be of value in less than a hundred years. Whether these cannon, which have awoke flic echoes of the southern hills, will ever send iron missiles among the halls of the Montczumas or assist in placing the “green” over the “ red,” deponent saith not. ii InM in this «.it' ami Brooklyn this week, of litt-rcst manifested by our people •cut is unquestionably quite deep, u the Fenians themselves are all excitement, and dn' .an be seen at almost any hour earnestly discus- jflairs of interest to their nation.

The board The Reciprocity Treaty. The treaty between the United States and Great Britian regulating the trade between this country and the British Provinces of North America expires on the 17th proximo. A conference has been held at Wash ington between the British commissioners and the' Committee of Ways and Means with a view to adjust the points in con trovers}' at which there was an ample discussion of all the <vmf 0 i.nn«». rca —^ were unable to agree, and separated after an exchange of civilities and not without the hope that at no dis tant day that the negotiations may be resumed with a better prospect of a satisfactory result. The proposi tions submitted by Mr. Morrill, the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, were without any features of reciprocity. The colonial delegates were anxious to establish the principle of reciprocitj’ bj' making the duties equal on both sides of the border Mr. Galt, tho head of the colonial delegation, observ ing, “ Of course you do not desire that we should not put the same duties on articles which we import from you which you intend to put on those articles when imported from us. ” In reply to the remark of Mr. Morrill “ That we did not admit that the basis of the treat}'was sound.” Mr. Morrill—No. I fear, however, that our manu factures are so taxed with cumulative duties that we cannot send you much as as cheap as you can get it elsewhere or make it. Your Canadian tariff operates against us. Has it not been changed since the treaty ?| Mr. Galt—Our customs law is the same in principle i the American. We pay duties on the value of articles at the place of purchase. Mr. Morrill—Has not your system been changed from specific^ ad valorem duties. Mr. GalL—No, uot as a whole. When you raised your duties on certain leading articles of import, we were enabled to do the same. We then taxed sugar, tea. &c., on the ad valorem principle, and more highly than before. We had always wanted to do so, but could not, until circumstances enabled it to be done without endangering a serious loss of revenue by smuggling. After some further conversation it was agreed to take up the free list under the treaty and see what articles Mr. Morrill was willing to deal with on the principle of taxing them when imported at a rate equivalent to the pressure of the internal revenue duties of the United States. There were thirteen articles on the free list that Mr. Morrill was willing to admit with no higher duty than the pressure of the United States internal revenue tax. The Tariff Laws Unconatutional. Mr. Brooks, one of the committee of Ways and Means, during the conference with the Canadian Del’ egates asked Mr. Morrill the following question : “In making the reciprocity treaty how did you get over the reciprocal treaties we had made with other nations . Mr. Morrill—-I claim that we never Mid get over them, that the treaty was unconstitutional. Mr. Brooks—You mean it was against our treaties, not against our constitution. Mr. Morrill—Yea, it was unconstitutional; it in terfered with the action of the House of Representa tives in matters of trade. The treaty was indeed submitted to the House, but it was a matter of courtesy, not of necessity. A treaty, if made in pursuance of the constitution, is the supreme law of the land. For instance, we passed a law tho other day against the importation of cattle, but I think it was altogether null and void, forit con travened a treaty. . . . T Mb. Brooks—It is a moot question how far the Senate can interfere with a treaty. , > ^ Mr. Galt—Are you not now making a treaty or commerce with some northern Power—Germany or Mr. Henry—You have been making special treaties for half a century past, and you have gone lately as far as China to do it. Mb. Bbooks—The question ie, how far a tariff can be regulated by a treaty. Mb. Henby—Is there anything in your constitution to prevent your giving more favorable terms to one country than to another ? Mb. Mokbill—No. Mb. Smith—This constitutional question does not arise now, however. You do not propose to deal with the subject by treaty, but by legislation. Mb. —The principle of the Reciprocity treaty was that the articles placed on the free list were the productions of the two contracting parties, neither of whom imported them from abroad. We, on our side, never imposed any duty on importations from other countries of those articles which we admitted free under the treaty from you. Mb. Mobbill—Under ordinary circumstances we should have no difficulty in making these articles free to all parts of the world. I doubt whether we could D °The points of difference, as regards tho duties, more in relation to coal, fish and grain. The delegates in. sisted that the object of the United States was Protcc tion and not Revenue. Mb. Galt—With reference to the fishery question the rates of duty make no difference to Canada—wo buy fish from you, we don’t sell to you in any quanti ty. The considerations we received in, *“"ner treaty for.giving'yoti the right .of fishing, were the general arrangements of the treaty with reference to our products, and no reduction in tlie rates of duty on fish would alter tbe feeling of Mr. Howland -'and myself. , Mb. Henby—True. There was a feeling with us^and it iB reviving, that in that treaty the interests of Nova Scotia were bartered away to get a good bargain for Canada. Mb. Galt—Twenty-five per cent, on flour, twenty cento on wheat, 15 cents on barley—these rates are so high as to be absurd. Mb. Henby—How much duty do you expect to get out of them at these rates ? Mr. Mokbill—Our rates are fixed solely with a view to revenue. We expect to get it on barley and upon wheat. We don’t expect to get much npon flour, for the duty is put so as to bring tbe wheat in Metis and to encourage our own people to grind it. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. Washington, March'10,188S. The strong terms in which Mr. Sumner expressed himself in regard to the proposed, amendment to the ConBtiiation, in regard to the b«ia pf representa tion, has produced great dissatisfaction in the Rad ical camp. Mr. Sumner denounces the amendment as an unworthy abandonment of principle. His speech has evidently produced an impression. It in creases the (roubles of the Radicals who find vary dilliniH In nguri Triiti thinisCItiu J i •.) Jj u The low price of gold creates some surprise. But the Government has up to a very recent period, say five or six days, been throwing large quantities of gold on the market; Amounting in the i.aggregate to twelve millions. Besides a large amount of Govern ment securities continue to find a market in Europe thus supplying the demand for gold for exportation’ Further.the treasury still holds a large snpply of gold' aud one of the loan bills pending contains a provision for negotiating a portion of the loan in Europe — Should this provfifiah Become law, the Secretary could make a etui, greater reduction in the price of The immense profit of some of the National Banks is wonderful. As an example, one of the banks in Washington has realized a profit of over one hundred per cent, on its capital, for the past year. ThW H (5 course more than is usual among even these banks In addition to the general features of the system it profitable, suchof tho banka as secure depa&it^ghave ad immense margin of which Goverara _ o profits., ^ .3eJiI if The President has under consideration the’proposi- tion of restoring the sea-coast lands in South Carolina and Georgia. He ie veiy anxious for these lands to be given up to their owners, snd there Is a very strong probability that something will be done in the matter before long. It is said by those who have au opportunity of forming an opinion, that if the political situation be- comes critical by the time of the next Presidential election, the Radicals will nominsts General Grant Goneral Grant wbulil unfloubteilR, be an immensely strong card in the handsof any party. His popularity at the north is immense. His admirers have pre- sented him with three houses as residences, and one hundred aud seventy-five thousand dollars in money This is pretty j^ thou^fi^oqffleal efioi* of wRat the English did fonlhe Dukfe'oi Wellington. General Grant manifests the most liberal and magnanimous spirit towards the south. This is, I think, more hon orable to him than his military successes. The Blairs, father and son, Francis P. and his son Montgomery, have acted with most generous ami liberal spirit to many people from the south, who, from being involved iu the war, needed influential ad vocates at Washington. I heard a Maryland south ern sympathiser speaking on this point, -toy it was impossible to say how much the Blairs had done for southern people. I think this fact so much to their honor ought to be generally known. Francis P. Blair is a remarkable man,he waa'oue of General Japk son’s right hapd men thirty-five years agb, sndfeAb* moves about as - alert and active as a young man, 4d full pos session of his. iaculties. He is a strong conservative aRd predicts that the people will sustain-the Preaident by a large majority. It is to be hoped the old geutle- man’s_predictions may prove true, though there are many others who see a good ways, who are not quite so sanguine. Mauy friends of Gen’l Lee had hoped that as under the constitution only the life estate can be sold ; the family estate at Arlington would some day be restored to the heirs of Gen’l Lee, but there is oiie difficulty in the way, the property was bought in by the govern ment not under proceediuga of confiscation, but under a sale for taxes, such tax sale transfers' the fee simple, and not merely the life estate of Gen’l Lee. There is no way by which the estate can be restored. Suppos ing the title in the government, arising from the tax sale, to be good except by the- action of congress. And before this can be hoped for we must see a politi cal revolution in the opinions of congress. The action of the Senate yesterday renders it im possible for the amendment of the constitution, as to the basis 01 representation to become a part of tho fundamental law. • C h The Treasury Department considers that the taxes on legacies and successions arc not collected with suffi cient care, and the asst to look into this strictness. One of the most curious facts of the times is the slowness with which the Treasury /Department ex- leuds its machinery over the southern States. The difficulty is in getting officers who cau take the oath- u e. fjM Miscellaneous. .
