THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, JULY 1I 1873, i DULUTH. An TUnhappy Neighboring Town. The Trade and Commerce of the " Zenith Oity.” wlong the North ShorcesaFort Willinms-- Tho Riches of Silver Islef. 1 THE DULUTIL BLOOD, 3 I got my host opinion of Duluth from the pao- H Plo who havo soitled it. They struck mo in i jsront part ns men of business-oxporiouco, with q Bomo capital, who had not com to tho spot to | Nvalt for Naturo to vindicato itsolf in tho city, . sbut who havo quiotly aud steadily pushod along 5 tho fortunes of the plnce, and overy month added | /Eomething to the aggregato of the establishmont. | 1Thoy hiave coms to Lhe magnanimous couclusion Abat, rathor than quarrel porpetually with .Buporior, thoy will give it all the oppor- ./ Jumity &t cam tako. 'Tho Northorn ! Paoific Railrond, woary of s contost with tho Btato of Wisconsin, hog promigod to run & branch B road to Suporior whenovor tho poopls thoreof i Agoncode land enough for o depot and wharf uscs, £e AThis branch will bo 4}¢ miles from Rice's Point, ‘wktiloe Duluthis1milo from the same point, MBut tho Buporior poople aro slow to concedo 4 anything, and Inck harmony of counsel, They ‘are monutime menaced by tho Town of Ashland, 4o tho cast of them, which expects to have a short line of rail through to Milwaukee avd Chi- oago. TXCUGBION, Irode ovor to Suporior in a little forry-boat, and found there & good pier, and sowe old winter- battored framo-dwollings, and s hotel which soenied to offer us the lnst meal on the borders of nowhoro. A quict yeoklypapor is publishod in the place, of which I toolk filo, and find 1t ‘wbounding with flipsnd flaps at tho duplicity and unsounduosa of Duluth, The eoditor sug- ‘gested to me that the great project ho was now abetting with all the onorgy of his press was s wehip-caual from tho St. Croix River to Lake Sa- erior. Ho was suro that Senator Windom—the 088 of tho Transportation Committco—must see 4ho wisdon of this groat canal, With commiser- ation not unmixed with admiration, I took tha filos of this still battling journal, and wished it In my power to make tho people of Su- porior perfectly happy. ithorto thelr only accoss to Bt Paul hna been = sough forest-rond, ruuning back 160 milos to 8t. Paul, through boar-infested and Indisn-ridden country, They remiuded mo of the peoplo in Hawtliorne's story who lived undor tho groat profile,—tho stono faco of the mountain,—ox~ Decting its bonediction, when, lo! the atono Taco, which was Duluth, turned itself to the ex- ) pression and recoivod the beams of the awaited i Bun of prospority. : RATLROAD HELP, The Northorn Pacific Railrond hos laid out for Duluth, besides the 370,000 aforesnid for tho battered bulkhead of the outer harbor, $100,000 in docks, £30,000 in o ronnd-house, and $10,000 for machino-shops. Yhe docks are fine constructions; but: more piles bave beon driven than s wnecessary for the ‘prosont, 8o that thoro is’ quite a littlo forest of trunke standing up in tho water, waiting to bo usoful when the town shall grow. 1 was shown tho riking walls of s blast-furnaco, undertaken by the private enterprise of Duluth, at & cost of $125,000; it will go into oporation uoxt fall. THE TRADE OF DULUTIH is mainly comprised for the prosout in_ the ship- mont of wheat, and the making up of timber into shingles and prairie-houses. There are two or threo houee-factories in tho town and surround- ing it, whero au entiro cottage is sawed up, from the window-snshes to the raftors and shinglos, aud shippod by rail to answor tho ro- uiromonts of claim-gettors in the intorior. The chief clerk of tho Elevator Compauny told me that as many as fifty grain-buyers wore rotained by that Company and_ other folks to ponotrate tho country ns far s Sioux City and Northorn Towa, and iy cash for grain to bo shipped from Duluth. Itis tho expactation of the pooplo to compensato for the long wintors of that Ilatitude { by munufacturing iron, copper, and wood; and they Lavo, besides, anticipations of diroct im- i portation.” On_tha pier stands a large framo storchouse, which s eolely devoted to the receipt of Canadian __goods in bond, which are passed to the Red River by rail, und then by stenmer to Manitoba, DULUTIL COMMERCE. The absorbing desire of the Duluth Suop]o i to have a relinble stoamship line, owned in the town, to proceed to Obhi mra&;o and to Buffalo. Last year, Capt. Ebor Ward appeared in tho lold, to meot this demand, with threa great stesmers, named rospectively the Indis, the China, and the Japan, which cost $225,000 apieco. Tho name of his company was the At~ lantic, Buffalo & Umion Stesmbont Company. Ho failed to make the coutract which he expoctod with the Northern Pacific Rtosd, oud= to obtain the wholo of their froi hts; and ho forthwith put these steamors on tho line from Buffalo to Chicago. It is now intimated that Mr. Georgo B. Bargent os_concluded a negotiation with the Budgots, [ +of Bristol, Enfilnnd, Paul Forbes, Dawson, of London, and Gillion, to build six stcamers, to cost upwards of $100,000 each, and to leave Du- luth daily during tho season of navigation. Ar. Torbes ia snid to have hoeaded the subscription- list with $150,000 in gold. If this project como to a consummation, the Duluth merchants ex- oot bo got onuy rafos, aud to compoto, with . 'nul for the wholesalo trade of their interior. DULUTIL YIGURES. Tho year 1874 was tho first year of Duluth as a ort of eutry, whon 541,000 datios were_col- Rmmd, inclusive of thoso goods bonded to Canada, which amounted to nearly one-half the whole. I tho samo year thore were 369 arrivale of vessols, The Land Office ot Duluth has disposed of nbout 130,000 acres of land. 'The fall of snow there inthe four winter months is ahout 30 Inches in all ; and, nt the coldest dy of 1873, the mean temperaturo was 20 degrees below zoro, Tho coldest period of that day was early morning, and the temperature was 28 dogroos below zoro. WEST BUPERIOR COMMERCE, The commorco of Duluth at the .presont timo ia mado up of the following vessols, somo of which run irmgu!nrl{: The Chicago line, or Loopold's boats, conslsting of the l?ormnn, the Toerloss, and tho City of Madison; the Union line, composed of four boats from Duluth to Buffalo ; Ebor Ward's line, tho Contral and Pa- cific, composed of nine boats, from Duluth to Buffalo, which average 600 tons, and somotimes carry ag much as 98,000 bushels of grain, con- pocting with the Now York Central fload; tho steamer Motropolis, of 426 touns,—a sido- whoel boat ~which cost $85,000, and is _owned by Duluth citizons, running to Marquotta; the Canadinn lino, running from Sarnin and Collingwood to Duluth, composed af eight stoamers, avoraging 450 tons, The poopla of tho town outertain tho hopo that thojAtlantio, Duluth & Pacific Lake Company, or the Evans line of Buffalo, will conclude to commence trips, a8 at firsb intonded, lator in the season. A livery-stable-keeper at Duluth told me that ho_hnd driven in the winter-time from that town to Dayflold, s wholo day's ride, across the frozen surfaco of Lake Buporior, laud out of sight somictimes, no dongoer of air-holes, and a right jn!’y party. gnlk:[flng aver water 600 foot doop. ‘The Bayfield people recipracate by moonlight parties to Duluth; aud thus thoy mako life comfortublo at the head of Luke Su- porior, UEALTI, It was intercatiug to aco childron of a prattlin age who had alroady boon born in Duluth, ang woomed to thrive like other children. I found, also, cunxum&llvo folks and bronchial people, from Kontucky and Ohlo, sitting out on the tavern-porchos, oxclalming that now they have bad luxury indood, Wishing to fish, on the moruning of my doprrture, I made an’ arrange- ment with & ‘boatman to row me ont on the inmer bay at balf-past 4 a. m, Finding my room filled with light, I arose a little after8 o'clock, and rapped up the man, The whola world scemed to be slesping on, The dogs did not bark, nor the chickens orow; the dock-hauds on tho vossols wore all down in thelr bunks asloop; and nothing made motion but the whoat elovator, which Lad boon running all night. _Aud thore, in tho sky, the bright light scomod to have boon ostablished for hours; it tinged tho fir-treos, and gavo color to the deep bluoness of tho lako, and, out in the offing, mado the drifting ico e arklo like orystal, For- laps it was not sunlight at all, but somo kind of Iamp hung up on the North boloto send {ts boams down to Buperior, and alittle armth out of tho depths wheroe last summer!

ULITMA DULUTIOLE, When ono_stauds at Dulutl, nud looks up tho Blenk const of Luko Superior, ho asks tho quos- tlou : What alinll wo find to tho enst it wo take that road along tho north shore? To this tho auswer iy, that, a fow milos out of Dulutl, tho rond consos o bo, and, for the rest of tho way, there is' morely an Indian trail to the boundary-line on tho Pigoon River, and 80 on to Fort Willam, which was long the entropot aud the chiof station of the Hudson Bay Compnuy, iteolf Duluthinn, By this rond, tho British and Caundian troops wore obliged to mrch for Manitoba whon Riel and tho half- breods started o miniature rovolution in that isolntod provinco. Fort Willinm {s mainly un old trading-house, with somo out-buildings ; and it s infosted with cortain Chippowns who hunt for tho Iludson Bay Company,—that declining corporation which, uuder " tho subtorfuge of ‘a lemso from Charles tho Bocond, hns controlled the swarthy people of the forost north of Minnosots for nearly two conturios, Fort Willinm stands on Thundor Bay, which is dominated by amountain, the highost in all theso parts ; and noar at hand is tho trading-hamlet callod Princo Arthur's Port. Aftor years of cold and wolitude, this region Lng been, to a cortain dogree, invigorated by Ameri- can eutorprise, In 1845, the Munuun.fv Mining Company, fiuding traces of SILVER on Thundor Bay, nud haying grown wenry of profitiess and distant oxperimonts of this sort, sought to mell the country to American capital- ists. The Company's Buperintendont was one MoForland, a Canadisn. On o lttlo isiond, Secarcoly sble . to rafso its hoad sbove the surfaco of tho wator, ho discovered silver in rioh proportions. Taking specimons of this silver to the Preaidont of the Company, Me- Farland gald that ho would risk his roputation as o minor upon tho that great dovelopments could bo runds in this one mine; and he nsked tho Canadiaus bo raiec Lim $20,000 to prosecute ¢ho moiroh. 'Tho Prosident roplicd that Lo Lnd uymt onongh money in that direction. Said ho: **Theso spectmens which you show mo dicate » pocket, and not a veln; and all the use we can make of them is to get salo for the mine to some of the Yankeca.” MMortifled and sorrowful, Mec-~ Farland sought ont Mr. Sibley, of Minnesota,who waastrucl with hia candor aad confidenco in the investmount ; and a combination of Americans bougl:l 170,000 acros of land in the vicinity, for 200,000, Amougat theso wore Capt. Ward, of Detroit, Mr. Trowbride, of tho samo IE'“"" Mr. 8ibley and Alr. Coo, of tho American Exchanga Bank of Now York, They put in Buperintond- oncy of the mine Oapt. D, Frew, and 2000,000 havo boon exponded to put o rampart of timbor oround the miniature island, and probe it below thio surface, and aven the bottom of tho lake. On this investmenta profit of $220,000 has boen already realizod. The discovery proved to be not a pocket, but & vein; and tho waters of tho lnke aro af this point so cloar that McFarland could sco the silver slnuno at a dopth of 100 feot. One hundred and fifty laborers are now employed at the Silver Teland mino, and tho most mognificont appro- honsiona aro entertained of o present and pros- guuuvn profit. A stoamer runa from Duluth to ilver Island wookly, and large numborsof trout- fishera tako advantago of thisvessol to fish, with Indians for advisors, In the great Nopagon River aud Lako, whoro thore are said to be more trout than anywhore olge in Clrigtondom.

(July3), Correspondence af the New York Sun. Tho Rov. T. R.

Ilis prode- cessor was & mook gontleman, during whose torm of servico thoro hud been a great deal of trouble, owing to the mischiovous conduct of Thad, W, Bacon, ono of tho commnnicants, who indulged himeelf in castivg slurs upon the Vos- try and going for thom with *!ignominious words, though olorkly couched,” and harrowing their souls with sarcastic romarks, and in other- wiso by word of mouth dospitofully using them until existonco becamo a burden and life scomed cold and hollow to them. A great many good peoplo sovered their con- nection with Trinity on account of this, Some wont to ono churcl, some to anothor, and othors, out of spite, would go to no church at all; 10, you 8o, tho Bvil One, was ina fair way to worlt much damago amoug the faithful, T'ho cnug]r}eguhon thon called 3, Dooloy, but he and MMr. Bacon afiilinted from tho start so well that whateyer Mr. Bacon did or #nid scemed to fiud favor in the oyes of the pastor, and thero was no peaco in the hosrts of tho badgored vestrymen, und they dospaired of having minttors improved. Thoy boggod that Mr. Bacon might bo counsellod in o fathorly way to moderato tho wicked inten- sity of his malicious innuondoos and slanders; but the rector paid no attontion to their piteous prayers, and Bncon, thus en- courngo, becnmo niore and more brutel toward thoso innocent sufferers, and the church mom- borship foll off, and it looked after o whilo ag if tho congrogation would soon bo reduced to tho Veatry and the wicked Bacon. Tho funds of tho church wero very low, all tho ox- ponees foll upon a fow mombors, and this was tho straw that threatoned to break tho camel's back. Lust Octobor the Vostry asked Mr. Dooloy to rosign, Ho roplied with dignity : * Gontlemon and brothron, 1 did not_come liero for that puz- Fouu," and flatly rofusod, ‘W'hon thoy explatned 0 him that if Lio romained ho would” be obliged to minister without purso or serip, This stato- mont startlod tho Roctor, Io abated & jot or tttlo of his dignity, and asked whother ho might not romain until Easter, whon he could securo a foothold elsowhero, hm{ agroed to lot him stay, two or threo of the wealthior mombors taking upon thewmselves the paymont of his salary, Taster eatno, but Mr. Dooloy made no sign of moving, and, whon tho vestrymen called npon him to vesign, is answor to thom was na dry as tho Inst biscult aftor a voyago, * No," eaid ho, T shall not.” hon thoy Liold & mooting and again proferred their very rensonablo request, Nr.

This was rathor too much for the othor members of tho vastry, They thought it purtook hugoly of tho nature of & pracoeding whoroby defonso should be made at ono gato, whilo at tho other tho cnemy should bo allower to onter, horse, foot, and dragoous. 8o they would not ontortain tho proposition; but it wai o hing to anothor vestryman, and ho neted upon it without loss of timo, Tho church, you must know, s in a vory di- Inpidated condilion, The flooring i o rotton that not long ago it gavo way, and, had tho con- grogation beon under the teaching of a popular proacher, tho loss of lifo would Linva beon foar- 1ful, bocause in that evont thore would bave beon moro peoplo presont, The sills and sleopors and other woodwork aro all dmmlod. and the whole of tho intorior is sadly in noed of roconstruction. This othor ‘vestryman thon moved that tho oliurch be ab onos ropaixed, and, although Mr. oolared the moetlng pghemttion; ] ot adjourned, the motion wan carrfed unanimously, and o committeo wns appointed to attend to tho work forthwith, Ou the mnext day the flooring and seats and sillu and slaopers woro torn out, and tho Eulplt way Bob up in a layloft hard by, 'Tho indigna- tlon of Mr. Dooloy was Loyond ail whooping, Iis foolings woro too deop” for uttorance, and for dnys and days he wanderod up rnd down like & engred lon, When overything hind boon torn otk from tho Inslde of tho chureh tho vestrymen lockod tho doors, and nent word to Bishop™ ce Coukoy that the parish was vacant, But tho Bishop, also of tho Church militant, sympa- thizing with Mr. Dooloy, an@ fooling outragod and anubbod in not having beon consulted ho- forohund, wrote to the vestrymon informing thom that thoy had boon guilty of an unpardon. able pieco of impudenco; that thelr parish was not vacant ; and that until ho decided othorwiso Mr. Dooleyshould bo considered the rector. The vestry, belioving that as they slone had tho power to employ thoy should aléo hava the right to dischargo, paid no nttention to tho Bishop's Iottor, furibor than to fllo it awsy smong tho dusty archives of the church, This angored the Bishop, and he camo down to 8.

Ho sought the rectory, and, after cooling his_hoated brow at the pump, o wont into Mr, Dooley's study and ponnod the following letter to Mr. 0'Dell, o prominent vos- irymau, who was never known to say a oroes word or do a wicked thing in his lifo: Mr, O'Doll, T domand of you tho koys of Trinity Church, 8t, Olair, I mako tho deniand under tho deed of donation given to me by tho vestry of salil chureh, and by virtuo of my oftice as Blshop of the dloceso, If it bo not complicd with, X will tako possession of tho church snd remove you from nll conneotion with tho Church of Christ, Bax, A, MoCoskny, BT, OrAmm, Juno 17,1873, Dishop of Michigan, Now Mr. 0'Dell, not having the koys in his Eosuosnk’n, could not deliver thom up; yot if o rofused bo wns in dangor of being excom- municated, While the ;:om]8 man was pondering ovor tho horriblo position in which he was placed; ho was aroused by o noiso in_ the strect, and in n momont a noighbor rusbed in with the startling information that tho Bishop had brolon into the church, and was then in doflant possos- slon, Half tho townapcople woro on tho ground, and groat wos tho oxcitoment.

Thoy had ust_roached it whon thoy were confrontod by Ir.
