THE MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORSHIP AND OF
PRINCE BISMARCK IN FAVOR or THE BILL
BERLIN. Tuesday. March 10, 1875.
In the Lower House of the Prussan Diet to-day
debate was opened on the first reading OF the new
Ecclesiastical bill.
DR.. Falk Minister of Public Worship. in speech
explaining the necessity for fresh legislation on tho
relations Of the State with the Church, dwelt
especially on the fact that the Pope had authorized
the Austrian Bishops to obey laws similar to those
which he denounced in Prussia. The State was not
afraid of the Encyclica but considered the matter
serious, and would not permit itself to be treated
with scOm by the Church.
Prince Bismarck made powerful speech in sup
port Of the bill He said the maxim that more ODE
diencc was due to God than to man certainly did
not mean that moro obedience due to a Pope,
misguided by Jesuits, than to the King The Gov
ernment was doing its duty in protecting German
freedom of mind against Rome.
The House resolved to discuss the bill in full
sitting instead OF referring it to committee.

From our Duluth Correspondent.


Coming events cast their shadows be
fore" The important discovery has just been
made that the canal across Minnesota Point
is too near the head of the BAY: or in other
words, too far away from Superior, to be of
much practical benefit, as the very limited
private docl, front which it leaves accessible
to the railroad, is entirely in the hands Of
two or three men who monopolize the trans
pOrtation business. And as a remarkable
coincidence, the fact has suddenly flashed
upon the minds Of the Savans, that the entry
to the harbur is too near the lower end of the
bay, or in other words, too far from Duluth
so much so, as to be entirely impracticable ;
and great surprise is expressed, that the gen
eral government did not make the discovery
years ago, before it had spent such large
sum of money to bring it to completion
And in this connection, it has become appar-
cnt to them, that the present entry will be a
serious drawback to commerce, and a very
great annoyance to the vast fleets of seagoing
vessels which are to form daily lines between
Duluth and Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and
every other dam in Europe, as the first in
quiry on entering the piers, would be, Where
Is Duluth? and it would entail upon Us an
unnecessary burthen, as we should be obliged
to maintain an army of interpreters to inform
the mariners that that wicked town across
the bay, is not Duluth, but is a fraud, perpe-
trated by some evil MINDED men, years ago,
when the eyes of the world were turned
towards the head of Lake Superior, and the
Isles OF the sea were asking Where is the
metropolis Of the great Northwest tc be q?
We should also be forced to employ "A large
number of pilots. to guide the ships safely
through the dixie, the ruins of which, sturrrt
as a monument Of your folly, as you compel
led US to build it, alta time when we needed
the money to pay the interest on our bonds,
and the salaries of our city officials. To
maintain all these, would entail an onerous
tax upon the productive industry of our
young and rapidly growing city and cripple
the energies Of devoted people, already do
ing business on a fictitious capital,
Viewing the situation from this standpoint,
we find ourselves cast between Charybdis
and Scylla, and the wreck of our commercial
supremacy imminent. And as though the
Evil One had something I. do with it, we
hear ominous whispers of St. Croix and Su-
perior railroad, and the extension of the
Northern Pacific from the Junction to Supe-
rior. Q, let them not beguile you with their
promises, but heed the words of the wise
man. When sinners entice thee, consent
thou not" Drive away the intruders from
your doors, and we will help you make a
harbor ms nature was going to make it, oppo-
site St. Louis river. We will call millions
from the Vastly deep to further the enterprise,
and deliver you your merchandise in good
re'ia51e ferry boats; and as an evidence of
good faith, we stand ready to hypothecate
our stock in the Blast Furnace and Citizens
Dock, and apply the proceeds to the cutting
of the new canal and closing the old one

The able editor of the Kenosha
7slegrol1h, who has visited the head
Of Lake Superior, and understands
the situation, in copying our article
the Beginning of the End in a
late number of that paper, makes
the following pertinent remarks:
The State Of Wisconsin has commenced a
suit in equity against the City of Duluth and
the Northern Pacific r r. Co, in relation to
the Duluth Canal through Minnesota Point,
djverung the course of the St Louis river
from lis natural channel through the Bay Of
Superior to its mouth into Lake Superior.
The City Of Superior and the State Of Wis
consin had rights which Duluth and the
Northern Pacific failed to respect, and the
suit IS brought to enforce their rights by re-
quring the HIlmg of the canal through Min
nesota Point. 1t would be difficult to con-
ceive a greater disregard of the rights of
city and a State than in the diversion Of the
current of the St Louis river from its chan
mel through the canal cut by .Dulu+h and the
Northern Pacific through Minnesota Point.
and we are glad that the State Of Wisconsin
has brought a sun To require the filling up of
the canal
For further information on the subject we
refer our readers to an article from the Supe-
rior TINES, "The Beginning of the End"
