HERE is no doubt but that the gentlemen
who supported the bill to exempt women
from arrest for debt were actuated by the very
best motives. But the bill involved the prin.
clple of discrimination on account of sex-a

aoN. JOHN 1oUNG OF Montreal has Just
presented TO tie board of trade of that
city an elaborate report on the subject of in
ternal communications and the merits of the
ST. Lawrence route to the Great West. The
report IS written from Canadian point of
view; but the facts aud recommendations
which it embodieS are of the first Importance
to New England. The paper first sets forth
the marvellous richness and resources OF The
great northwestern district drained bv the
Mississippi and st. Lawrence rivers and the
great lakes. Ever since the opening of this
territory to cultivation constant struggle has
been going on for the transportation of its
vast products to the seaboard. In 1869 the
value of the commerce of the lakes was sew
en- hundred million dollars; OF the New York
canals three hundred millions of the various
railroads between the West and the East four
hundred millions. Combining the discussion
TO the water course, the Northwest has two
great outlets to the Atlantic namely, the
Mississippi river and the lakes. With regard
to the latter the problem is an easy one till
the freight reaches Buffalo, ON Lake Erie, at
which point two rival lines lay claim to it.
The Erie Canal and the Hudson furnish
through transportation to New York by wa
ter; Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river
form the competing line. By an extensive
system OF canals and locks the river has been
SO much improved that vessels of 800 tons
can make their way without difficulty. But
the Weland Canal, which connects Lakes On
tarlo and Erie, and is the key to the whole
line, has capacity only for vessels of $50
tons. The strength of the chain is measured
by the strength of its weakest links, and the
insufficient capacity of the Welland Canal is
the one serious disadvantage of the St. Law
renee route.
The report then takes comprehensive
glance over the field, and recommends the
following improvements: l. The enlarge
ment of the Weand Canal; 2. The length
ening of the ST. Lawrence Canal locks 8. The
improvement of the rapids of the Sc. Law
renee; a. The construction of the Caughna-
.waga Canal. The estimates for these sew
eraJ works embrace cost of $10,24S, 900 di-
vided as follows: Welland Canal $4,000, 600;
st. Lawrence rapids, $720,OOO; Caughnawaca
Canal, 50, 100000. The latter work, it will be
recollected, is TO form a short connection be.
tween the st. Lawrence river and Lake
Champlain. Mr.. Young concludes his report
with an earnest plea for throwing open the
canals and rivers of the Dominion to United
States vessels, and for the closest reciprocity
between the two countries.

REMOVED FROM HIS CHARGE.-Fathe1
Farrell, the Catholic clergyman of New York
who wrote that noble letter to the meeting
called few weeks since at the Academy of
Music to uphold the course of italian unity,
has been removed from the pastorate of St.
Joseph's Church in that city, position he has
held with great acceptance for the past fifteen
years, and Tor the sole reason. it is alleged,
that he expressed sympathy with the objects
of that meeting. A member of his church
writes to the Tribune that council was call
ed by the Archbishop, which decided that Fa-
ther Farrell must retract the sentiments Of
that letter or be removed. He would not re-
tract. Hence his dismissal. The writer
above referred TO expresses his indignation
over such persecution of a faithful preacher in
no measured terms. "What is the opinion OF
priest WORTH" he asks, 'f he is to be punish
ed and prosecuted for giving it expression ?'
And he further remarks:
las member of his church and conerega-
ton. an lrishman and a Catholic, born in
Catholicty, while admitting the perogative of
the Bishop to remove any priest, with OF with
out cause, beg to enter my protest, not so
much against his removal as the cause which
has led to an event so much to be depored
by all true Catholics and lovers of liberty the
world over; namely, the tree exercise and ex-
preston OF his opinions on the present polti
cal position of Rome and Italy. 1t matters

ion or not; the right which claim for myself

Recognising the E.t.,.nc..

convention was recently held in Philadel-
phia for the purpose of taking measures to
secure an amendment to the Constitution of
the United States recognizing the existence Of
Supreme Being. or such measure we are
compelled to doubt the wisdom. 1t reminds
one unpleasantly Of the patronizing manner
in which, after the French Republic had closed
its churches and written over the entrance to
its cemeteries that death was an eternal sleep,
Maxamilien Robespierre patronized the Ere
Supreme by graciously condescending to &C
knowledge His existence and instituting fes-
tival in His honor. 1t is true there is no for
NAL acknowledgment Of the existence Of God
in the Constitution, though there are those
who expend much ingenuity in con:ending
that by dating the instrument ''in the year of
our Lord" Christianity is formally acknowl-
edged. This line Of argument, we confess, has
always seemed to us to SAVIOR somewhat strong
ly Of quibbliDg. Some, at least, of the men
who drew up the Constitution were sincerely
religious and Christian IN EN-, and we can not
believe that their omission of any formal rec
ogni.ion Of the Deity was accidental. Thcy
knew what they were doing and had excellent
reasons for it. They rightly were very careful
that nothing should appear in the Constitution
which might be tortured by zeaots into coun-
tenancing any connection between Church and
State. And certainly the cause of religion has
not suffered in this country through the omis.
sion of such an acknowledgment as some
good men now desire TO see inserted in tho
Instrument. The churches which are rising
in every new State and Territory prove that
Se are not q goddess people, and are o far bet
tor and moro practical acknowledgment of our
dependence upon God than formal phrase in
legal document. The movement to amend
the Constitution OF the United States by the
addition of an article recognizing the existence
OF Supreme Being. we believe, all thonRht-
fui men will consider as one entailinR a spirit
Of mischief. Better thousand times devote
the same amount Of energy and activity and
rastIes enthusiasm TO movement-worthy 10
be called moyement--to incorporate into the
individual heart and individual life of the ma.
ton recognition of Gods mercy aud love.
But this emptying out Of everything into the
hopper OF politics; this insane notion that ali
things can be rightedby paper constitutions and
paper laws; this horrible absurdity of lepislat-
Ing the Creator into recognition; putting 10
the trial Of canvass and the counting of votes
the question Of Gods life, seems TO be tho eli.
max OF folly. Religion should not become 80

Schools OF Nevada.

The State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton has submitted his report to the Legisla-
ture, in which he speaks encouragingly of the
condition of the public schools of Nevada.
He says Nevada is in advance of any other
State in the Union in all the advantages af-
forded to pupils for tuition; that the compen-
sation To teachers and the average amount
paid per pupil from the the public funds is
greater; and claims that Nevada is equal to
most of the States in respect TO the number
OF schools in proportion TO the school popu-
lation, the number of scholars enrolled in pro.
portion to the population. and in the average
attendance The whole number of children
taught in the public school during the past
year was 1853; the previous year, 1,6Gl.
During the past year, 80 teachers were en-
ployed; the year previous, A. During the
past two years the total expense of the public
schools was S73,836 g.. OF this amount
SlG,957 80 were received from the State mp
portionment; $3.50 4S from county tax; and
the balance from the money on hand and
from miscellaneous sources. There are {, 29l
children in the State under 81 years of age.
The number Of boys enrolled in the public
schools in 1870 was $50; and of girls ,3O7.
making total Of 2,8S3; and the number of
children attending private schools. was $40
There arc 40 school districts in the State, and
IS school-houses: Is male and IS female
teachers being employed. In relation TO tho
school fund, the Carson Register has the fol.
lowing: -ar..
The Consultation provides that certain mo.
peys derived from the sale of State lands from
escheated estates, fines, etc, shall constitute
