is good reason to believe that it will be completed be-

middle of March next. 1t is only building now under
the force of threats that the War Department ought


to have made and carried o, in another direction last

obstruct it. Superior has never for moment con-
sentcd to the dyke matter.

partial the Governor is between these rival cities, for
sooth after doing his to aid Duluth in either
robbing Superior of river, of commercial access
to neighborng port.


Does not a reasonable regard for own interests
demand thai these efforts should not be tolerated in
silence when exposition OF facts is sufficient reply
There is no attempt to destroy the harbor of Supe
ror;' but only by energy, enterprise and capital to
make another, and one not subject to be blockaded
and rendered useless at any time by sand bars and
other deposits laid down by the st. Louis river. The
vast demands or commerce and navigation now cen
tering at the head OF Lake Superior already require
such harbor. Exposition Of facts on the Duluth
side is very particularly good The little nub, point
animus and foundation of this and all, Duluth expo
stions of facts is in that pretty little reference
of the Governors to the harbor Of Superior sub


ect to be blockaded and rendered useless any time
by sand bars and other deposits lad down by the St
Louis river" This is the infamous fasehood on which
Duluth is built And now by continuing the canal a
whole season. they have added enough damage to the
ST Louis entry to make this alsehood still pau
sibe, and as usual taking advantage of their own
wrong clamor be allowed undsturbed possession OF
the current and force upon which Superior depends i'll
great measure to secure her a harbor


But the Governor of Minnesota cannot be silly
enough to imagine for moment that the great State
of Wisconsin proposes submit to any such precious
schemes for crushing her interests at the head of
the lake, as are being agitated. Knowing the
truth Wisconsin will not be put down by flsehoods
no matter how official, widespread or persistent.
Knowing the value of her interests Lake Superior
she will not surrender them at the bidding of any
poration however mighty in capital, or in sway over
states, and government officers.

OF course this structure is absolutely ile-
Congress, authorizing the State of Mime
sofa to form State government, the first
and second sections of which act have been
verbatim incorporated into Article IL of
the constitution of that State. 1t is also i'll
direct violation Of the Act of Congress en-
ablng the State of Wisconsin to form q
State government, which act Of Congress
was accepted, ratified, and affirmed by Sec
ton 2 Of Article II of the Constitution of
this State.


Some persons, among whom certain hla-
tant sheets of Duluth are quite conspicuous,
imagine that Minnesota has exclusive urs-
diction up to the centre of the st. Louis
river. Such however is not the fact. Both
the enabling acts of Congress above refer
red to, as well as the constitution Of Min
nesota, provide fol and admit concurrent
jurisdiction over all the rivers and waters
dividing the two States. The State of Wis
consin has as full and ample jurisdiction
over every foot Of soil covered with water,
where river or lake forms the boundary
between the two States, as the State OF
Minnesota has, and if our State officers ever
wake up to the importance of the position,
that jurisdiction will be exercised. Every
foot of that prospective dyke upon which
the city (??) of Duluth throws away its
money, is nothing but a public nuisance,
ike the canal and all its other expensive
folIies, and the time will come, when the
unluckv taxpayer of that hot house exotic
will find it out.


However it seems to Us that the remedy
for all the evils of which the correspondent
of the Journal complains is II our own
hands. IT was a grave error, when the
State of Wisconsin, was made to apply to
the War Department at Washington to
protect its rights. Had the State appeared
in Court itself, and we understand that it


is the owner Of lands which beyond all per-
adventure would give it standing in Court
or had the money appropriated by the
Legislature last session been used III aiding
any of It's citizens to bring the action, the
War Department would not have dared to
interfere, in fact it could not have inter-
fered, and such course is not too late
now. Let this State, let any of our citizens
who are injured, assert their rights, and
even the great fnanciers Of the Syndicate
will find it impossible to prevent them from
obtaining redress.

WE have private assurances that the Pinal Mines continue to improve on exploration, and also that tests in San Francisco of some tons of ore are very satisfactory. Amid much gloom, here and there spark of substantial encouragement is seen. How this people long for fair degree of safety to labor where riches await them, has often been pleadingly told.

The peace-loving, christian Apaches called at the Pinal mines early in the evening of the 18th and quietly stole away with fifteen horses and mules which the border ruffian miners sup posed they had some rights in. These miners being without animals, started on foot to try to recover them, and after following the trail two days to the junction of Salt River and Pinto Creek, and their provisions giving out, they returned without the beasts.

 We shall probably soon hear from the wise and good men of the east that these miners were served right :; that the animals were wro1gfully grazing on lands of the honest Apa- che; that the miners themselves were on the good Tontos' soil; that under the aggravating circumstances, it was but natural for the innocent children of the wilderness to teach these trespassing miners great moral lesson. How we ought to adore the great and good philanthro- pists whose boundless love goes out for all but the honest and industrious of their own race, who get a living without theft and murder and ever lasting access to the public dug! Let us pray.

DevOnshire eastward to the limit of the
burnt district. That lie building was
saved at all is one of those occurrences we
are accustomed to call 1niracu Gus With
tue hre raging above, below, in the rear
and on one side, with the flames leapinc
far over the roof and a more insidioiIs dam
ger lurking in furnace-like cellar behind,
all hope of long resisting the element was
destroyed. 10 the efforts of those brave
men who, after contest of twelve hours
with the cOn1lagrati0n, took their final
stand at State and DevonsEire streets and
there beat it back, we owe our safety.
They drenched the blazing cellar; they
drove off the flames that attacked our roof
and they steadily fought fire with Il del
uSe.


Dut While we may with reason cOngratu-
late ourselves upon the immunity from
greater misfortune, it is by no means un-
scathed that the Post Building stands as
the barrier between desOlation and safety.
The flames that licked up granite and
brick and iron close at hand, and that
crumhled into sand the solid stone of the
new pOstOfliCe opposite, were not stayed
from reaching past the dividing wall and
eating huge hole in the roof and the
upper story Of the Post Building. BY
prompt action the fire was restrained
within close limits and eXtinguished : but
the COmpOsin9-rOOm was left ruin Of
shattered glass, plaster ard debris of roof
and walls, the editorial and other rooms
on the next floor beneath, and, indeed,
even down TO the lowest story, were
drcnched with water, aud the building
was, during Sunday, not only useless as
publishing office, but Well-nigh uninhabit-
able. Moreover, although the presseOs were
safe and the type had been conveyed to a
place Of security, the disarrangement and
the inevitable mixing, the loss, and tie
destruction through hasty handling, rem
dered the material nearly useless. 1t was
only by strenuous eXertiOn, While walls
were falling and the fire yet cracking close
at hand, that portion of the type was
transferred again to the building, and the
half-sheet paper there set up and printed
for yesterdays issue. 1t appeared, as does
this. from within the guarded confines Of
the burnt district, with the smell of smoke
upon it; and when Our readers consider
that our type toundries have gone, with so
many other industries, and that the means
of rehabilitation are made difficult i'll every
direction, they will perhaps apprecia why,
although the Post Building has falSifed all
the predictions Of Sunday morning, and
still stands, the paper is somewhat cur
tailed in proportions, though uncrippled in

The refusal Of Colonel Fremont to
serve any longer as President Of the Cape
Fear Agricultural Society, will cause regret
10 all its friends. The marked success of
our Fairs has been, in very great mea-

good Judgment with which Colonel Ere
mont has devoted himself to their manage
ment. The Fairs have been Of great
benefit to us in bringing money and people
to our city. Our merchants and the people
generally understand this and duly appre-
ciate the services Of Colonel Fremont
They will not soon forget the cllorts he has
made to promote the prosperity of our
city.


But while we regret the loss of the out
going President, we most cordially and
hopefully welcome the incoming one.
Colonel Allmand McIOy needs no intro
duction at our hands to the people of the
Cape Fear, no matter what their calling
may be. Faithful aud efficient in the

will not suffer in his hands.
