1T, then, Congress, in the exercise
Of a lawful authority, has adopted
and is carrying out q system of har-
Dor Improvements at Duluth, this
court can have no lawful authority
to forbid the work. If that body
sees tit to provide way by which
tie great Commerce of the lakes
ana the countries west of them.
even 20 Asia, shall be securely ac-
commodated at the harbor of Du-
luth by the short canal of three or
four hundred feet, can this court de-
cree that it must forever pursue the
old channel, by the natural outlet,
vessels, unsafe for small ones, and
by longer and much more tedious
route.
When Congress appropriates
$4,000 to improve, protect and Sc
cure this canal, this court can have
no power to require It to be filed
up and obstructed. While the en-
sineering officers Of the government
are, under the authority Of Congress,
doing all they can to make this
canal useful to commerce and to
keep it il good condition, this court
can owe no duty to a State which
requires it to order the city of Du-
luth to destroy it.
These views show conclusively
that the State of Wisconsin is not
entitled to the relief asked by hel
bill, which is, therefore dismissed
| with costs.

IAnti-Monopolist.

The Greenback convention of the Second
district was held Sept. 18th, at Mortified.
1t was not as largely attended at it should
have been. This was probably due to the
hard times and the scarcity of money. We
printed brief report of the proceedings in
our last issue.
The gentleman named by the convention
as their nominee, Hon. Geo. G.. Chamberlain,
is worthy of any position in the gift of the
people; he is both able and honest; thor
ough Greenbacker and we'll posted upon
public questions generally. We hope to see
him again nominated for Congress in the
not distant future, under circumstances
which will justly him in making the neces-
sary canvass with some reasonable hope of
success.
In the meantime, as he declines to accept
the nomination, we would express the hope
that the Greenbackers of the district will
cast their votes for Hon. Henry Poehler, the
Democratic nominee. We make this sug-
gestion for several reasons:
First-Mr. Poehler has written letter to
?. B. Cook, Esq, of Hastings, in which he
places himself squarely upon the Ohio plat
form and declares his support of the main
principles of the Greenback creed.
q AcnIA Ludt OlT. GOcDler mas
no interest in or connection with any Ma
tional bank, as has been charged.
Third-His opponent, Major Strait, is
president of the National bank at Sbakopee.
Fourth-The Democracy of the First and
Third Congressional districts of Minnesota
have been generous enough to stand aside in
the race for off e, and are now throwing
their whole force in favor of the Greenback
candidates. This rare magnaninity would
seem to require that the Greenbackers Ct
the Second district should reciprocate by
supporting Mr.. Poehler.
Fifth-Mr. Poehler is most honorable
gentleman, and worthy representative of a
great race that has done much to develop
the resources of the State and nation whiIe
their contributions to the worlds science,
philosophy and literature have been simply
incalculable. The prejudice of race is the
last bigotry that should be invoked against
any man, and we are sorry to know that it
is now being aroused against Mr.. Poehler.

THE OPERA.
The First Appearance of Charlotte Thomp-
son Last Night.


son Last Night.
Miss Charlotte Thompson drew an immense
house last night, as abe always does in St. Paul.
There is not lady on the boards who in her
professional tours visits this city who has more
completely won the hearts of the people, and
this, too, by dint of zeal, genuine talent. Miss
Thompson owes nothing of her influence over
her audience to extraneous circumstances. She
is not handsome, and it is doubtful if it has
ever been claimed for her that she 10 even pro-
possessing, and yet the very moment she ap-
pears before the footlights she is received
with demonstrations Of admiration as enthu-
siastic as though she was very queen of
beauty. Nor does she owe her popularity to
the richness and taste displayed in the ward
robe, for Miss Thompson does not display eth
er the one or the other on the stage. 1t is then,
as at first stated, that Miss Thompson is popu-
lar because she is an Acress-a true delinea-
ton of human passions and human thought.
East Lynne is, perhaps the most fimsey and
maudling of the Miss Monlton style of play,
| and the character of Lady Isabel, the least at
trative because the most indefensible, and yet
| when Miss Thompson interprets it one forgete
completely the weakness of a very weak woman
| in the intensity of passion and the devouring
mother-love of the penitent In the first two
| acts the portrayal Of foolish, Jealous wife.

Miss Thompson was SIMPLY superb-every

tenance like shadows of clouds over summer
meadow or CLASSY lake. The nervous twitching

earnest gaze and wistful glance, the half glad
smile. half hysterical laugh, from some vague
underlined fear, the excited clutching and

little in her favor is her attractive presence
| and add to this that she sings very prettily and
it will be understood that Miss Thompson in
this young lady has a very able support. She
sang very sweetly, "When other lips and other
hearts, Mrs. Watson was amusing as Miss
Corney. OF the rest of the support little can
be said in praise. Il should be stated, how.
ever, that MIR. Bryten would do well not to in

ton OF their notes, nearly fifteen millions in
greenbacks will be locked up IN the vaults of
the treasury Tor redemption of such notes, but
should the amounts presented for redemption
continue to be small. and it is estimated it

this greenback redemption fund and it must
remain idle in the treasury.
