Father Doran, of Stephen’s Roman Catholic church, Brook- , Was moved by the parable of the feeding ‘of the multitude with the five loaves and two r to inculcate charity, and, also, to im- Pres pe parents the duty of religiously and ithfully instructing their children in the way of salvation. ‘ Dr. Chapman, in St. John’s Methodist Epis- bopal church, Brooklyn, endeavored to set before his people the thought that fruit the test of character—of a Christian as of a \d that both are known by their fruits. is not the symmetry and beauty of the tree, Nor the verdure of its foliage or the brilliancy Of its blossoms, but it is the richness, matn- Fity and amount of the fruit that determine its value. God expects fruit according to ability, and that will measure the rewards in the fu- ture state. If Mr. Beecher is correctly reported he made a strange statement yesterday when he sald thero was no proof that we shall know ‘each other in the future life. It surely cannot be that we shall know less there than we do here, even if there were no Scriptural intima- tions of this mutual recognition. He, how- ever, made some amends for this slip when he ‘declared his belief that we shall know our children there; but still bis belief is not God's revelation. It is certain that we shall be sat- isfied, and that we shall know even as also we are known. The Underground Railroad Job—Tbe Pacue Mgt". rai betel Humbug. | .~ him + The Underground ‘feailrond lobby at Albany have at length coaxed, bought or driven the ‘Benate and Assembly to report favorably on their job. The committees of both houses are Baid-to have agreed upon the Beach Pneumatic Tunnel scheme, and this bill was reported on Saturday in the Senate; but Mr, Whitbeck, of the House committee, is said to have found something wrong about the matter, and so to have withheld the bill in the Assembly. ‘The ‘chances now appear tobe that the fight be- 4ween the rival lobbyists will become so bitter, through the success of the Beach men, as to ender the passage of the bill impossible. At the same time, every effort will be made to give members a sufiicient interest in the job to secure their votes, as it is supposed that a ‘great many millions of dollars can be mado ‘out of it. If the legislators at Albany desire to do vio- Aence to the wishes of all the real property ‘owners on Broadway, to destroy millions of ‘property, to needlessly upset the business of the great thoroughfare of the city, to throw pack the prospect of rapid transit in New York ten or fifieen years, and to impose all this Outrage, annoyance, trouble and damage upon ‘the people of the metropolis for the sake of ‘aiding the fortunes of a set of lobby adven- Aurers, they will pass the bill now before the Senate. But if they respect the rights of property owners ; if they regard the wishes of the people, and if they desixe to soe a railroad actually in operation in New York within the next three years, they wiil strike out the en- acting clause and pass in its place a bill to au- fhorize the construction of two viaduct roads, running on the cast and west sides of the city, from the Battery to Harlem and Spuyten Puyvil Greek. We call upon the representa- Yives from New York in the Senate—Messra. Benedict, Weismann, O’Brien and Tie-. man—to lift wp their voices promptly against this outrage upon the city. They know that all the real prop- erty owners oc Broadway, with Mr. A. T. Stewart at their bead, are opposed to such a destructive, impracticable and dishonest job ; and they know, too, that no sensible man could be fovnd to invests doilar in such an undertaking. There are nominal property ‘owners on Broadway, as in other parts of the city, whose actual interests in the real estate standing in their name is a mere trifle, who ‘can be induced to enter into any speculative Job or to endorse any proposition out of which ® pecuniary advantage can be derived. A Mortgagor whose houso is encumbered to the amouct of cighty per cent of its value is Jess interested in the property than the mortga- gee. Mr. Stewart and others who are the clear ‘owners of their real estate on Broadway are opposed to the bill, and will resist it in the Courts, as they have before done, should it be- come a law. They neither desire to raise money to pay off morigages nor to use the Influence of a nominal possession of property they do not actually own cs a means of prometizg their interests in outside schemes, ‘Tie Senate should insist upon learning the sentiments of bone jide property owners befwre they pass a bill that will destroy the finest avenue in New York, upheave the whole business of the city, tumblo the build- 8 down about the cars of their occupants, sink a large amount of moncy in en utterly impracticable job, or enable a ring of lobby- iste to abandon the professed purpose of the Jaw and avail themselves of its provisions to gun & horae-car road along Broadway. Tho bill vow before the Lo zisiature has 7 Presse upon the faysrabie notice of members ky fraudulent representations, No dona fide owner of real estate on Broadway, unless holding only a fractional interest in heavily mortgaged property, is in favor of fearing up and destroying the street for an experimest bopeless of success. By what right does the Legislature undertake to over- ride the owners of property and sacrifice fhe interesis of men who have built | up New York to advance the for- tanes of a lot of lobby adventurers? If our representatives at Albany reaily -Aesire to give the metropolis what is 60 much meeded—rasyid transit by steam through the } whole length of the island—let them pass a ! practical law for an enterprise known to be not only possible, but certain of accomplish- ment, A Broadway tunnel, if ever constructed, could only be completed ata cost that would | -render it impossible to run cars ata rate of | fare that would accommodate the masses of < people, and thus rapid transit would only be mockery. We have had cnough of these jobs, | ‘and the Legislature canoot do better than kick them ail out of the Capitol, together with their prometers, The property owners should at once move in the matter, and we call upon Mr. Stewari to head the opposition to this new attemp! to destroy Broadway in the in- terest of a set of jobbers and lobbyists, whose only object is to make a “strike” out of the scheme and then to abandon it, a?

There are some honest and responsible citizens on the Erle Railroad direction. They do not share in the operations and the plunder of the Ring, and are said to be powerless to prevent them; yet there is no doubt that they are legally and morally responsible for all the acts of their associates. If Gould, Lane, Eldridge and their immediate allies have misapplied the funds of the road, such direc- tors as Homer Ramadell, George C. Hall, C. J, Sisson, Justin D, White and John Gauson Must become individually and collectively accountable to the stockholders for the de- ficiency, It therefore becomes an act of self- Preservation on their part, as well as a duty to the community, to expose and resist any dishonest or improper practices on the part of their assoctlate directors. We understand that a movement is about to be made by some of the direc- tion, including those we have mentioned, to procure a reckoning at the hands of Gould and Lane, The questionable manner in which vouchers and checks are drawn by those officers of the road in paymont of the services of spies and corruptioniste, as developed in the documents recently published in the Heratp, has alarmed the more scrupulous directors, and an investigation of the accounts is desired by them, We will suggest, if an inquiry be made, that the directors de- mand to what purpose Gould applied the sum of one hundred thousand dollars drawn in one amouyt on 4 voucher for “legal expen- hes,” about this period of the Legislative ses- sion of 1870? If Gould should refuse to answer we may probably help them to the information ourselves, Let them also ascer- tain for what actual services A. D. Barber, a well-known lobbyist, drew from the treasury of the road, about the same date, two sums of forty-five thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars respectively, on vouchers for ‘legal expenses,” although he is not a member of the legal profession, and what legal costs were paid by William M. Tweed to the amount of ten thousand dollars at the same time. The expenditure of one hundred and seventy thousand dollars for legal expenses within the space of six weeks, during the height of a logislative session, cer- tainly seems to require some explanation, and if necessary the directors of Erie may be sup- plied with many’ of these professional items even without the aid of President Gould. The honest directors of the road are not moving too soon, They have not been in the habit of drawing vouchers for enormous sums for advertising and legal expenses and mis- appropriating the money of the stockholders. They have not revelled in dissipation and luxury on the funds of the road. Yet when the crash comes—as come it surely must and will—they will be held responsible in civil and criminal proceedings as co-directors with the men who have thus abused their trust. If they would save their properly, their reputation and their future peace, let them at once shake off the burden of the cor- rupt ring and escape any further damage from the association in which they have become entangled. Reorganization of Tammany. Reform is the great outcry and necessity of the time, and the leading respectable demo- crats of this city have gone to work in earnest to cleanse the Augean stable of Tammany and to reorganize the historical Tammany Society. The meeting held on Saturday evening at the hall in Fourteenth street has Iaid out the work in proper order, and if confidence can be placed in the resolutions passed and character of the prominent and respectable citizens who have undertaken the task, we may expect such a result as will command the support of the democratic party. The names of John Kelly, August Belmont, Augustus and Richard Schell, Elijah Ward and of the others who are tho leaders in this movement, seem to promise a guarantee that, in the language. of the reso- lutions, such measures will be taken as shall prevent the recurrence of the gigantic frauds which have been recently exposed in our muni- cipal affairs, and to assist in compelling an honest administration of public affairs at Wash- ington, Some of the brightest names in the history of the country have been associated at one time or another wiih Tammany, and this society has in former times done good service to the cause of republican and democratic free- dom, Let us hope that after the purification now pro;mised and commenced this old poiiti- cal organization may have a more glorious future tuan it had evon in the past. Tur TrvE Frrenps OF PRESIDENT GRANT should seo to it that bis administration is not damaged by any corrupt action of its sup- porters on the Erie bill, They should vote as one man on Wednesday, and send Senator O'Brien's bill to a third reading.

Herald Special Report from Brownsville. The Texan Stock Holders Hurl Defiance at Mexican Cattle Thieves. How the Banditti Are Aided by the Inhabitants, Nine-Tenths of the Mexican Frontier Popula- tion Thieves and Murderers, A Mexican Magistrate Receiver of Stolen Cattle. Threat of Retaliatory Invasion of Mexico. TELECRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The Herap correspondent at Brownsville has forwarded to us the following special despatch :— BRownsvitie, Texas, March 10, 1872. The report of the recent meeting of stock- holders shows that in the latter half of Feb- ruary 2,000 cattle, to the value of $40,000, were crossed over the Rio Grande by Mexican banditti, within thirty miles of Brownsville. This isa fair sample of the depredations constantly taking place along the line. The thieves are organized in Mexico and carry repeating rifles and pistols. They usu- ally make their raids in bands of about thirty men, The band which recently crossed over 1,000 head of cattle at Santa Maria ranche numbered eighty men, who were commanded by Captain Sabos Garcia, of General Cortina’s force, by GENERAL M'OOOK IN PURSUIT. General McCook, the United States Com- mander in Brownsville, passed by the scene of the depredation within half an hour after the crossing of the banditti and narrowly escaped capture. The immunity enjoyed by the thieves is owing to the fact that the country between the Rio Grande and the Nueces rivers Is thinly settled. Nine-tenths of the population consist of Mexi- can bands, who cross over the border, roam, rob and murder at will, The rancheros (owners of ranches) refuse to grant informa- tion regarding the whereabouts of the thieves, through fear of being killed by the Mexicans, and say that in the country to the Nueces the banditti are determined to drive out all the Americans by depredations, On the Gth inst. Dionisco Cardenas, Mayor of Matagorda, bought 600 head of the stolen cattle recently crossed over at Santa Maria, He has been engaged for years in the business of buying stolen stock from Mexican thieves, and is consequently very popular among his countrymen. PROTEOTION OR RETALIATION. The resolution of the meeting of stock- holders further states that the frontier has been for years without protection, there being no, cavalrymen from the mouth of the river to Laredo, The meeting approves of the protection of the fishing terest and the Pacific railroads, and asks for a sufficient force of Uniled States troops, saying that unless this be granted the law of self-protection will compel the Texan stockholders to organize themselves into an armed body in order to guard their families aud their homes from Mexican robbers, although such action would probably bring them into conflict with the home governmnet and the Mexican authorities, The feeling in the community is such that a retaliatory invasion of Mexico is probable soon, if no change in the present state of affairs along the border takes place. in- Strangles His Wife and Kills His Taree Children.

DR. HUSTON'S CASE. The Allegations to be Investigated by a Come mittee of the Metho¢ist Conference. WARRENTON, Va, March 9, 1872, The case of Rev, Dr. Huston was disposed of to- day, at ieast for this session cf the Conference. The committee appointed yesterday to inquire if Dr. Huston should be brought to trial reported that the circumstances of the case demanded an immediate investigation, The report recommended that the whole mat;er be referred to the Presiding Elder of the East Baltimore district, with lustructions to call @ committee ana proceed to an immediate examina. tion of Dr. Huston’s character and actions, and report to the next Conlerence. Meanwhile Dr, Huston 1s SUSPENDED FROM ALL ECCLESIASTICAL FUNCTIONS, He must notattempt to preach or perform any ministerial duty. ‘Ihere is no truth in the despatch which appeared in one of the Washington papers about a reaction in favor of the accused, There has beeu no discrediting testimony as yet offered, and the charges have not been revoked, On the con- trary, there appears to be an evident determination on the part of those composing the Conference to slit the matter to the very bottom; to punish Dr. fluston if guilty, and to brand his accusers tf the charges are proven to be false. The action of the committee and tne acceptance of their report carries tne whole subject over to the next Conference, and finally dismisses it for tnis session. As the body has not adjourned, it ts not yet known who the next Presiding Elder for the West Baltimore district will be. Much feeling ls manifested both by clergy and laity, Tne people of Warrenton and vicinity are decidedly FAVORABLE TO THE ACCUSED, while the clergy generally aro grave and non-com- mittal with reference to the charges. Dr. Huston expresses himself as very sore at heart, but as hav- ing no doubt of a satisfactory issue to the ordeal through which he 13 to pass. He bas been mixing very actively with both the clergy and people dur- ing bis stay here and has made many friends, He leaves Warrenton this afternoon.

The Mixed Commission, ‘The United States and British Claims Commission Will meet on the 20th inst., and, after remaining in session several days, will adjourt to reassemble in September. Mr. Russell Gurney has taken passage fur London by the steamer of March 30, ‘Thus far about two hundred claims have been presenced. It is the opinion of gentlemen here that the misunder- standing about the Treaty of Washington has had the effect of deterring some of the ctaimanrs from going to the expense of preparing their cases, and consequently the number is smaller than tf such misunderstanding had not been raised by the British government, Although the limit tor presentation of claims is the 26th of this month, there 1s author- ity for extending the time three months in indie vidual cases, where good cause can be shown for so doing. ‘The decisions in the few caves already finally adjudicated have been unanimous, both parties being rmffuencea by a sense of justice and a desire to discharge their duties in a manner that can give rise to po suspicion of untairness or Prejudice.

A Yerritovial Cram—The L[oterests of the Territories, Tho complimentary dinner given last night by the Territorial Delegates to the President, Vice Prest- dent, Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Committees on Territories, at Welcker's, was the first entertainment of the kind evergiven., Tho President sent a nofe regretting that his absence from Washington would prevent his attendance, Delegate, McCormick, of Afladitd, presided.

Senator Schurz re- tired before the speaking commenced, Speeches were also made by Delegates Mcovor- mick, Heoper, Armstrong, Chaffee, Chapman, Clag- gett, Garfleldo, Jones, Merritt and Gallegos, of New Mexico, the last named expressing his views in the Spanish language, as being more familiar to him than Engush, He was frequently applauded by his attentive listeners. Senators liltchcock and Clay. ton and Representatives Parker, KtcKee, Prindle and Lowe also responded to sentiments in their honor. There were present besides those above named the clerks of the two Committees on Terri- tories and the clerks to the Territorial organization. Mr, Riley, the Consul General of the Orange Free States, and also @ gentleman connected with the press, responded to @ toast on that subject. The speaking had reference generally to the affairs of the several Territories, including suggestions which would promote tkeir in- terests. Ex-Speaker Colfax and Speaker Blaine were complimented by several of these who addressed the company, for having on ail occasions, when in their power, afforded them opportuntties in the House for the preseatation and transaction of thetr business, and the members of the Terri- torial Committee expressed their disposition to, at all times, do what lay in their power to advance the interests of the Territories, It was stated by Mr. Teffe that the Detegates present represent an area larger than the remainder of tne country, and pre- dicted that within the next ten years more mineral wealth will be discovered than im past years, Hence it was important that more attention be paid and increased encouragement given to the Territories, Some gentiomen thought that the Delegates ougut to have votes on subjects affecting their —- Territories, while another gentleman favored & suggestion, which had been made elsewhere, to untte the tn- habitants in suffictent numbers for the requirements of the federal rates of representation, 80 as to secure votes in Cougress, the argument being presented that along time must elapse before the severai Ter- ritories will have a sufficiency of population to be admitted ag States inthe Union, Others said that as the people of the Tercitortes were taxed they should, according to the fundamental prineiples of free government, have proper representation, which includes voling in Congress Ail the Delegates, however, agreed that they had been treated with much consideration and regarded the placing of Mr. Chapman, delegate of the District, on the Committee for the District of Columbia; Mr. Chaflee, delogate or Colorado, on the House Committee on Territories, a8 an advance in the proper airection—the securing of greater facilt- in the presentation of the business of the Territories, Never have the delegates of the Territories been more united than now to promote their respective interests, They have a Territorial organization of their own, and hold frequent consultations.

General Howard 1s, alter pro- ceeding to Arizona and New Moxico, to take such action, ag im his judgment may be deemed, best for the purpose of preserving peace with the Tndians in these Territories, There ts no change 1n the desire of this government as to the means for preserving peace from the expressions tn former instructions given on that subject.
