Mr. Beecher on the Woman s Question. Brother Cuyler and Sister Smi- ley Endorsed. The Old and New Testaments in Favor of Female Exhorters—The Sweetness, Gentleness and Fragrance of Women Required by the World, ‘Mr. Beecher preached one of his boldest sermons Jast night upon the woman question, takiag for his text the contested words of Paul that have lately Deen made the excuse for a very remarkable action against a certain presbytery—“Let your women Keep silence in the churches,” &c, The recent events, said ne, m this city have ar- Tested the attention of the whole community. A ‘woman—a regular preacher in a Christian sect—was asked to preach ina certain church. She had long Spoken in churches, and edification had followed, and that was the sign that Peter sald was to authenticate preaching, For permitting this an esteemed and honest pastor was brought before a Dresbytery, and his conduct passea by without re- buke only on account of tenderness to him. Bat the churches were enjoined ' not to follow his example. The simple question, then, before us ts this:—Whether the New Testament does forbid women to speak in the churches, Are these words of Paul of universal application, of all time, everywhere, Mnally? There are those who regard this utterance as nal, and forbid women to speak, no matter how giftea. They accept this as meant to cover the ‘whole future. There are next those who regard this as explicit, but do not believe in the authority of Paul to settle this question. There are others who vegard this command as local, NATIONAL AND TRANSIENT. ‘They hold to the authority of the sacred Scriptares, but do not believe this to be the final word spoken on this subject, and I am one who nolds this view. First, itis not the function of Christianity to de- termine the external, It aims at the spirivual de- velopment of man by bringing him into direct com- panionship with God, To this corrected and inspired manhood was left the utmost freedom. There can be no greater imposition upon men than toafirm that there is in the New Testament any atiempt to decide details. ‘Whatever relates to universal morality, to interior purity, that was determined; all eise was left to take care of itself. The life was left to organize what belongs to life. ‘The civil state, the jamily have been changed since the time of Paul. Tuere ig not one element of organization that resembles those of 2,000 years ago, Now, the presumption is that Christianity dia not step in and paralyze Woman's tongue and shut her mouth. Did it put its Qoger on this exception and make that an absolute finality? ‘this would have been doing violence to ‘the Jewish idea, WOMAN AMONG THE HEBREWS ‘Was more as amoug us than any other nation, She ‘Was a public instructor among the Jews. we have Miriam, whose song has been sounding on for 4,000 years. Deborah was not only a prophetess, but aruler. Here was a woman of great power, and she rose to the suriace and ruled her peopie. I have read already In your hearing the song of Hannah, re- corded in Samuel. Wien the king desired to consult wome one on matters of importance, he passed by Jeremiah and went to Huldah, So, too, at the very ume of Christ, Anna, the prophetess, broke forth into a song of praise. So, when a Jew looked back ‘upon his bistory, he beheid along the line the glow- ing repetition of Women who had stood up to hold the scepire, to teach and to pour forta imspired _ prophecies, ‘rherefore, when at the Pentecost Pever made the programme of the future, did he say that women sloull keep silence? ‘He quoted from the Propnet Joel, who says thatthe young men and maidens, servants and haudmatdens, sons and daughters ‘shail _pro- y, and upon them shall the spirit of the Lord poured out, if you undertake to set up the letter of Vaul, Iset up tite letter of the Holy Ghost. It Was forbidden to women to speak in the synagogues, but this was because the exercises of the synagogues Was liturgical and not extemporaneous, and the tecanical knowledge of this liturgy was not open then to women. There is nothing in all the letvers to Jewish Unbristians that contravenes this Hebrew spirit and custom. This direction of Paul was WRITTEN TO THE GREBK r Christians, Now we can ask why he made a differ. ence tn ts respect between Jews and Greeks. The condition of women among the Greeks was degraded wo a level that we can hardly conceive of. The Greek idea of virtue in a woman was that she should not go out unless veiled; that she should not even go the front door lest she should be seen. lla woman learned poetry, music, art, plulosophy, the knowledge stamped her as a courtesan. No woinan im Greece was permitted to know these things ex+ cept at the price of virtue. A virtuous woman in Greece was merely a domestic drudge. Now, Unat being the status of woman 1 Greece, it would not do for women to speak uncovered in the churches, For a woman to rise in the churches in those circumstances would be to endorse cour- tesauship. St. Paul said:—"1 forbid women to Speak in public” (in Greece); would that he had put it in, If he had known how stupid people ‘Would be in this day he would have said it.

Tne public, both Protestant and Catholic, have shown so much anxiety to learn something about the future of the Rev. Joshua Dodgson Bradley, the latest clerical convert to the Catholic Church, tnata HERALD reporter was sent to interview the reverend gentleman. The reporter was received in the most courteous and gentlemanly manner. Father Braa- ley isa middle-sized, rather handsome gentleman, about twenty-nine years old. His features are well cut and regular, while his long faxen hair strongly proclaims his Saxon origin. “His is a favorable type of the well bred, educated English gentleman. In reply to an inquiry as to whether he had formed any intentions about his future course in life, Mr. Bradley repiied:—“I do not know if I ought to answer any questions connected with my past life or my intentions with regard to the future, espe- Ctally as you intend to publish them, -If, however, I thought that my answers would in any way benefit the cause of truth I should be glad to answer your questions.”’ The reporter assured him that his answers could possibly ¢o no harm, and would in all probability do much good. Mr. BRADLEY—Well, I shall be your questions, REPORTER—AS Many persons are interested in your future, may ask you if you have decided to become a Catholic priest or remaina simple mem- ber of the Church of your adoption? Mr. BRADLEY—I intend to enter a Catholic semi- nary, and, alter proper training, if found worthy, 1 desire to become a Catnolic priest. REPORTER—Have you any reason to suppose inat your flock, or any portion of it, will be so far influe enced hy your example as to follow you into the fold of Catnolicity ? Mr, BRADLBY—That is rather a delicate question. However, I do not violate any confidence by telling you that I know of some who are making the neces- fary preparations for admission into the Catholic Church, There are many others, who, though they have not as yetseen the light, will, I have reason to believe, sooner or later see it as I] nave done, and eventually join the Church, REPORTER—By what authority did you officiate as @ clergyman in this countay?

WEDNESDAY, Dec. 1, 1869, REPORTER—Have you seen a statement sald to nave been made by Mr. Rufus Hatch to a reporter of @ morning paper? Mr. BRADLEY—Yes. REPORTER—Mr. Rufus Hatch says that you were forbidden by Bishop Potter to officiate on the Sun- day you preached your farewell sermon,.and that you “went through the performance notwith- standing.” Mr. BRADLEY—The fact 1s Bishop Potter was in- formed several days before of my determination to jom the Catholic Church, and on the previous Wednesday (Jan. 17) gave me express permission to preach a farewell sermon, stating my reasons for | withdrawing from the Protestant Episcopal Church. This I thought the proper and manly tuning to do, and due, in courtesy, to my friends and the members of my congregation. This permission Bishop Potter revoked on Sunday, January 21, at half-past nine o’clock A.

Mr. BRADLEY—Why, my dear sir, it is an unmiti- gated faisehood and the very reverse of truth. ‘The jact 1s that when, purely from conscientious convic- tion and at the expense of no smail sacrifices of personal feelings and attachments, I had deter. ined to seek admission into the Catholic Church and Bishop Poiter had been informed of my deter- mination, he did what he could to induce me to re- consider It, He even sent an eminent theologian of the Protestant Episcopal Church wo a with me and endeavor to shake my resolution; and in the ine terview which 1 had shortly alterwards with the Bishop—namely, on the Peony, 1 have already mentioned—he expressed the kindest feelings to- wards me personally and the keenest regret at the step 1 had determined to take. 1t was only an hour belore 1 deliver farewell sermon that I re- ceived the Bishop's Talat a REPORTER —Did the Bishop approve of your acts as pastor of the Church of St, Sacrament? . —» iT.

About three weeks ago Cornelius C, Hefferan opened a liquor saloon on the northeast corner of Tenth avenue and Tnirty-fi(th street. On the north- ‘west corper of the same street James Winters kept a similar establishment, The parties became jealous on account of business affairs, and took advantage of every opportunity to damage each other. On Saturday night Christopher Bath, also proprietor of a liquor saloon at the corner of Thirty-fourth street and Ninth avenue, had an opening. Both Hefferan and Winters were there, and after a while com- menced abusing each other, Winters, it is alleged, wanting Hefferan to fight him, but, not being in a fighting condition, he refused to accept the invita- tion, and walked away from him. The parties remamed in the. saloon until after five o'clock ip the morning, when they started for hume. Hefferan claims Winters left first, and opened his saloon. On his way home, in com- Pany with his bartender, he called into Winters’ Place and ordered drinks, which were furnished them. Alter paying for the liquor, Hefferan claims ‘Wintera came up to him, slapped him in the face with the back of bis hand, and again extended an invita- tion to fight, The invitation was again declined, and Hefferan left for his place in company with William Gill, Michael Gately and @ man named Filion, After remaining in the place but a short time Winters entered with a few friends and again wanted to fight, Herteran claims while standing up in front of his bar Winters advanced and hit him a powerful blow in the right eye, knocking him back wards over a screen, Regaining his tect a free fight took place, in which the friends of Heffran joined, and, knock- ing Winters on tie floor, commenced’ beating and Kicking him until he became insensible, when they threw him out of the saloon on lo he pavement and tocked the door.

Havana, Feb, 3, 1872, From private sources I have received the follow- ing authentic details of a sudden night attack upon the Santa Lucia plantation, situated near Barlay, in the district of Hoiguin, and occupied by a de- tachment of government troops belonging to the regiment ‘Havana.’ The attack took place on the night of the 23d of January and completely sur- prised the Spaniards, The insurgents were for the greater part mounted, and their forces estimated between two and three hundred, Modesto Diaz, Inclan aud the two Peraltas were the leaders who commanded and directed their operations. Notwithstanding the suddenness of the attack the Spantaras found time to take refuge in the block or store house of the estate, from which they began to fire upon the insurgents, but without much effect, on account of the darkness. A number of the attacking party, armed only with machetes, made an assault on the negro or outbuildings, and there meeting with some resistance on the part of some mobilized and white employés, they were despatched and the torch applied to the buildings. ‘The flames from the burning huts, &c., naturally liv up the surrounding scene and discovered their numbers and bodies to the Spaniards within the blockhouse. During ail tnis time 4 BRISK MUSKETRY FIRB had been kept up; by far the greater part of the in- surgents’ attention was directed to the main object of their attack, Which was to demolish the outbuild- ings of the estate, break into the dispensary and ob- tain a supply of medicines, provisions and clothing, The flames from the burning quarters revealing the insurgents to the Spaniards, their fire commenced to take effect, and three of their number were killed and ten wounded, The Spanish loss was very heavy, although they only acknowledge in the omMcial accounts seven killed and 4 large number of wounded, besides the loss of the mobilized em- ployés, ‘The insurgents having effected the princtpal part of their design, and finding the resistance offered by the Spaniards, securely intrenchet 1n the stock house, too strong to be overcome, retreated in the direction of Lower Bariay, Cayo Guani and Sierra Verde. At Lower Bariay encountering the breast works thrown up near that place, and defended by twenty volunteers, they exchanged a few volleys, but, not aware of the small number and faithful to their system of not exposing themselves when nothing can We gained, continued their retreat, On the 24th forty volunteers from the neighboring Plantation of “Fray Benito’? and a hundred from Gibara left for the scene of action to render what aid in their power. On the 26th the musquito gun- boat Indio also left the port of Gibara for that of Barlay on the same service, and thé same day Colonel Reboul and some thirty of his regiment arrived there from Holguin, for the purpose of combining a party of the different forces united and pursuing the enemy, but, probably, after a waste of expletives in the Spanish language, without re- sult, a8 the Gibara volunteers returned to their homes on the Indio, In the juriediction of Las Tunas, upon the 14th, 16th and 16tu of January, there is reported to have taken place, under the combined columns of Colonels Huerta and Bascones, THREF SUCCESSFUL ATTACKS ON THE INSURGENTS, the Spaniards gaining some advantages over them, destroying two extensive encampments, ‘The im- surgents are said to have been headed by Modesto Diaz and Figueredo, The reports pradently add that 1ull details had nov been received, A letter from Manzanillo of the 24th ult. states that on the previous day @ lieutenant and ten privates had come in wounded, the result of an engagement be- tween 200 of the battalion of Espana and the in- surgents under Modesto Diaz, ‘Tne gunboat As- tuto had also entered the last named port with an English orig in tow. is brig had succeeded in landing a cargo of contraband of war when espied and captured by the gunboat, No further particu- lars are given.

Private letters, written by reiable parties at Santiago de Cuba, reported that large bands of insurgents have lately passed through the plains leading to tne mountains in view of the garrison of the city, Forces have been used in their persecution, but Witu no flattering results to the Spanish arms, From these letters we learn that the whole Eastern Department 1s alive with insurgents taking every favorable opportunity to harass and destroy smail Spanish coldmns. EXECUTION OF A CURAN CHIEF, Another brave youth has yielded up his Iife on the altar of Cuban independence. Juan Luis Ariosa, & young man of fine attainments, about twenty-six Years ofage and born in this city, was executed at Sancti Espiritu on the 29th ult. Artosa arrived on this island some two years ago in a successful ex- «dition, and has lately held the position of Chief of tail tothe insurgent leader Salomé Hernandez, in an attack by the Spanish troops Ariosa was captured, with a number of others, who were sum- marily executed. He being an oflicer of importance, was taken to the city, there to ex- ecuted and satisfy the volunteers’ longings for such spectacies. Brigadier General Acosta, an intimate friend of ‘oung =—_—Ariosa’s father, used his influence with ‘the volunteers to have them petition for the young man’s pardon, They were willing to consent if Ariosa woula promise to join a Spanish guerilla and fight against the Cubans, When this condition was stated to him Ariosa indignantly and heroically repliea:— “If that is the condition for my life soot me.” He died 4s valianuy as he had lived. Ariosa’s father sull resides in Havana, 1s wealthy and a lar} bts acy holder.

The Steamship Morro Castle Four Days in a Nor’easterEighty Boxes ot ir, Lam- ber, Boxes and Barrels for Fuel—incidents of the Trip. The steamship Morro Castle, Thomas 8. Curtis commander, arrived from Havana, via Nassau, yes- terday morning, after an exceedingly stormy pas- sage. She left Havana on the 3d inst., and proceeded as far as Nassau, where @ nor’easter of more than ordinary severity was experienced. Captain Curtis took a supply of coal at that port, and, fearing the gale might increase, took a surplus of eighty tons and proceeded. The gale increased in fury, and from the time of their departure from Nassau to their arrival off Barnegat, the Morro Castle experienced a succession of northeast gales almost unparalleled in the annals of the Atlantic Mail Steamship Company; but this vessel proved her sea- worthiness in 1870, during the terrible Gulf gales of that year, and no fears were felt as to her ultimate safety. Captain Curtis and his crew were equal to the emergency, and, arriving off Barnegat on Friday last, the ship hove too, ana for twenty hours awaited the calm, It was impossible to take an observation during the continuance of the gale, which lasted for jour and a half days, and not until Barnegat light shed its rays, like a distant star, were the mariners aware that they were so neur home, A new difficulty now presented itself, It was dis. covered that the vessel was entirely out of coal, The gale having in a measure subsided, it was determined to make steam, and to this end all the lumber, boxes, barrels aud bits of plank were consumed; but all the wood on the vessel did not suitice to make enough steam to run twenty miles, AS a last resort, EIGHTY BOXES OF SUGAR, consigned to different parties in the city, were rap- idly broken open, the contents shovelled into the furnace, together with the boxes, and the noble vessel was once more under full headway fur New York. ‘Taking the sugar at a rough estimate of ten cents per pound, the run from Barnegat to New York cost, for fuel alone, $3,600. The Morro Caste arrived at eight o’clock yesterday morning, safe and sound, at pier 4, but slightly damaged, and ready to make her next regular trip. Among the passengers were Mr. A. W. Dimock, President of the line, with a number of friends; 8. 8, Conant and family; Dr. Rubino, H. J. F. Drake, of the Elizabeth Daily Herald, and Dr. G. W. Sam- son and wife.

BURNED ALIVE. The Terrible Disaster on the Rockford, Rock Isinnd and St. Louis Railroad—Thrilling Details by Eye Witnesses. The telegraph has already furnished us with some of the particulars of the late fearful accident on the Rockiord, Rock Island and St. Louis Railroad. The following additional details will be read with melan- choly interest:— STATEMENT OF MR. ROBERT HOLLOWAY. Mr. Robert Holloway, an attorney of Monmouth, Tl, was, with his sister, Mrs. Sarah E. Maller, of Sheibyvilie, HL, in the passenger car which was burned, and both had very narrow escapes. Imiie- diately aiter whe crash, and atter he had got this lady out of the car, Mr. Holloway set to work to ex- tricate those less fortunate tuan he, and was only driven from the car when the intense heat, smoke and flame rendered it impossible for him to remain longer init, As it was, his hair was singed and cloth- ing scorched. He says of his expertence:— At about #ix o'clock, the time of the disaster, the passenger train was going south to St. Lous at about twenty-five miles per liour, whel wet the freight train coming at nearly full speed. 6 bag gage car was forced back two-tlirds of the way through the front passenger car, fastening the pas- sengers in the débris of the seats aud stoves. My sister, Mrs. Miller, and myself were in this car, but, by God’s merciful providence, had some littie time before the collision leit our seat and gone near the stove in the extreme rear of thiscarto warm. We were there at the fatal moment, but escaped injury. There was another man sitting near the stove, and ‘We three, of all the passengers in the car, were the only ones who were unhurt. I got my sister out of the car, returned and labored in extricating and removing the crippled anu fastened passengers. It required my utmost strength to free them. Eight were liberated, three ol tiese wita broken legs, an+ other probably fatally injured im bis head and chest, and tue four others less injured. The stove in thes) baggage car and the front stove in the pas- senger car were overturned, and the car commenced burning immediately, Unfortunately the in the baggage ‘car was filled from which the flames kindled most home persons with buckets of snow labored to keep the fire in check, but as they had to throw it over the piles of seats and entangled assengers, but litrle was accomplished, If there jad been five minntes more time, all wonld have been liberated, ‘The cries and prayers of those who could not escape were terrible. The flames increased very rapidly, and finally drove me almost smothered from the car. Most of those who got out were too confused and alarmed at the sudden- ness and terrible nature of the catastrophe to render ald, Not less than four perished im the flames. Probably one or two more. One was Mrs, Raines, of Henry county, lowa. Her husband and baby escaped, but he may probably die of his tn- juries. The names of the others [ do not know, ‘When the collision took place the seats were jammed together, catching the passengers’ legs, The front stove of the car was forced two-thirds of the way back. The baggage man escaped through the window, There were sixteen or seven- a persons in the car. The flames spread through 1m less than half @ minute, One lady, 1 think Mrs. Benes kept ejaculating, “My poor mother,’’ 1 pulled Mr, Raines out. There was a young man ong Med him aud his wile in two seats froming each other.

Another Chapter on Sewer Swindles. FACTS, FIGURES AND FRAUDS. Rock Revelations Extraordinary—Sand vs Cee ment—Whole Bricks vs. ‘Bats’ and “Spalls”—No Honor Among Thieves— Virtuous Aldermen Astounded. “Still water runs deep,” saith the proverb, an@& proverbs are generally considered correct, Ts one, as applied to certain phases of life in Newark, ts eminently applicable. Beneath the smooth, still surtace of its municipal as well as moral history there runs a deep current of frauds and foul impuri- ues, Newark is by no means the model city that ite rulers and admirers are wont to make it out to be. Ithas, to be sure no Bumsted charter machinery under which taxpayers and property owners can be made the victims of gigantic swindles, butit nas a government which has permitted for years past a system of petty plundering and barefaced robbery none the less astounding because the amount of the robberies has not reached millions, It would be difficult to cite a case under the Tammany ‘Ring’ régime in the metropolis which in character 1s more shamelessly fraudulent than the sewer swindles of Newark, partly exposed in the HERALD atew weeks ago, As was stated then, the alsciosnres made were only the Alpha of the sewer and other swindles. ‘The Omega is yet to come. Before passing to other sewers it is worth while to recur to the South Orange avenue one, as some additional puints have come to the notice of THB HERALD’S INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE since the last exposé. ‘The work on this sewer was commenced November 7, 1870, the contractor being Frank Carlin, and the City Sewer Inspector George It commenced at Howard and ran to ‘The items W.

On the 24 of December, 1870, the first estimate lor this sewer was made ous and it called for eredit for 400 feet, three manholes, and 181 cubic feet of rock excavated. This was between Howard and Broome streets, and per- haps a8 much as half way to Prince sireet, The money was paid on this without a murmur. Now neie the swindle, The ground where rock excava- tion was charged and pald for was what is called *+made” ground, It had veen @ swamp or some. thing of that sort many years before, and of course Not an inch of rock obstructed the way of the sewer maker. The only obstructioa met with was AN OLD WOODEN PUMP which bad been thrown 1 to fill up by some early predecessor of Uarlin, in days when contractors? characters could not be impugned. fue pump had to be cut away with axes in order to make the sewer bed. ‘Ihe sewer was {a three foot one, and according to tne contract required # cutting of iour feet eight inches wide, Whereas the rock charged lor would imake the opening six feev wide. ine second estimale represented Work accomplished as 1ollows:—s00 feet of sewer, 572 cubic yaras of Tock and three manholes. Again, without a mur- mur from the city authorities, was this bill paid, and again note the trand, Of the 672 «yards of rock claimed and paid for it is declared that not twenty yards ‘was actually cut. The rock Was not there, the ground having been “made.’? Besides only two Tnanholes were constructed, whereas Uwree were charged and paid for. 1u January, 1871, the auchor- ilies began wo discover that something was wroug, ‘They found that the sewer was belug constructed ol one layer of brick, Whereas the contract caued for two, Here itis proper tw note that noone ex. cept contractors themselves can tell how much swindling has for years been going on 11 this mat ter Of giving a halt supply of brick where a whoie was contracted and paid tor. ‘Tbe same remark applies vo all the other materials used in sewer con. struction, As soon us the lack of brick was dis- covered Courter was discharged, and it is possivie that the balance of the job was completed with some degree of honesty.

ANOTHER CASE OF BOGUS QUARRYING. Tn the construcuon of the Murray and High street sewer by tls same coatracior tue Coutract called Jor one barrel of cement tu every three burreis of sand used, and that no “bats” or “spalls” should be used, Bats and spalls are haif bricks and trag- ments, A persen Who putd some attention to tue work is ready to prove that on one Occasion seven- teen shovels of sand were thrown in to one suovel of cement, At wis raie a saving to the contractor In cement alone would be effected to the vaiue of $500 or $600 in the job. The same person says that the manner in Which *“bais’’ and ‘spalis” were used Was acaution, in the final estimate for tis sewer there was Charged and patd jor 1,000 yards. of rock at $3 50 per yard, making a bili lor rock of $3,000, All the rock in Us matter, as in the others, was the ‘rock” procured at the city treasury. THE WEST KINNEY AND HIGH STREET SEWER. Tuis job, too, constructed in 1870, appears to have its little rock history, ‘Ihe contractors were Messrs. Ward & Reilly, whose fame is already great in con- nection with their gigantic Leutn ward ditch joo, which cost the city $40,000, which sum is now sought to be recovered by a sult insutuved by the city wu- thorities, It 18 reliably stated that money was paid them lor 600 yarus of rock, Whereas not an inch was really excavated, Seven hundred yards was patd for, but to do ine Contractors justice there were ve- tween filty and one hundred yards actually eacoun- tered. ‘Ihe fate of the luspector Was tne same 1M ‘Uls Case as In that Of the Wretcued McClalr, Nut w cent of “whack” did he recetve, either, WHAT 13 TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. There is not the slightest doubt but that this whole matter of sewer swinuies will be brought before Wwe Grand Jury at the nextsession, ‘the legal representa- Uves of tne city are already talking about preparmg Jor tis; but, as lar as Kuown, nothing las yet been done towards bringing the rogues to justice. Since tie last article in tue HERALD the City Fawers pave been looking up sewers, and a iew days since ordered work suspended on the Millbrook sewer, which Was being constructed in @ shamefully tm- periect manner. lustead of being a strong, wus- sive siructure, such as is absolutely necessary here, the construction was only of double orick, laid fat and not edgeways as required.

By the time the work 13 resumed tn the spring it is doubtiul if any of that already finished will be of use except as cartoy fll- ing in, fe ig more than likely that before this sewer swindle sunject is exhausted by the HERALD’S Inves- Uigaung committee sume starting revelations, re~ flecting on some oi the City Fathers and a notorious Jocal newspaper attache, will be brought to light in veauulul paint, ie " THE KLUMP HOMICIDE, f Investigntion To-Pay.
