othe company was $114,033,728, and the actual cost put down by items was $71,208,399. In plain language, then, the men who were managers of the Union Pacific Railroad Com- pany contracted with themselves or their rop- resentatives for the work of making the road, and thus took over forty-two millions as profits. The profit on Oakes Ames’ contract alone was over twenty-nine millions. The swindling over that railroad exceeds in mag- nitude anything in modern times. And who are the victims? Who have to pay for it? The government and people of the United Btates. We have not yet learned what is the wost of the rascalities in the Central Pacific Railroad, but there are, probably, enormous frands to be exposed. The Orédit Mobilier ‘wos the convenient agency used for swindling the public and government. Though many ‘startling facts have been developed, and many men holding high public positions have been ‘eriminated in the infamous transactions con- mected with the Pacific Railroad, there is rea- bon to believe that much remains behind. Such a stupendous amount of plunder was participated in, no doubt, by more prominent individuals than have yet been named. It is to be hoped the fullest information will be brought out, ‘Woices of the Prophets on the Sabbath. esterday was so different from the day be- Yore that many persons were surprised at the sudden change. The air was sharp and Piling, and, though the churches were Tary fairly attended, had the Sabbath been like the Gay before it is certain that hundreds would have sat in the house of God yesterday who, instead, kept quietly at home near their warm firesides. Nevertheless, those who did go forth to the sanctuary were rewarded with ls of food convenient for their spiritual ustenance and growth in grace. » In St. James’ Cathedral, Brooklyn, Rev. [Father Kiely drew several important lessons from the narrative of the vineyard and the One of these lessons was that the should not become disheartened nor loiter on the road because many are calied pout few chosen. He should rather make cer- Main that he is one of the few, and he should [be stimulated to greater devotion, larger ‘efforts and nobler resolves. Another lesson was that the jealousies of the laborers were but p type of the contentions which should after- }ward arise in the Church, and which we be- theld at thisday. But out of this grows another, mamely, that we who may have gone into the rvineyard in early life should not therefore warrogate to ourselves greater merit and look ‘upon those who come after us as less worthy vof reward than we. Who shall say that the ‘Iaborer who is called at the eleventh hour shall not also receive his penny in reward from the ‘Master? This parable was uttered by the ®aviour to rébuke the class of grumblers who existed in his day and still exist. The motives of the Master of the vincyard are not to be questioned by the laborers therein, but we phould all work in joy and charity to cull the wich fruits of grace for the wine of lifeimmor- Mal. But woe to him who stands idly in the market place when he has been called to work. In St. Francis Xavier's church Father NEW YORK WERALD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1873—TRIPLE SHEET and last night they held a meeting in tho Church of the Tran#figuration, and from tho sketch of the addresses before us we must say that there is a fault somewhere among the wealthy churchmen of this diocese who permit such a condition of things to exist in old and established parishes, almost at their doors, as was reported last night. Though some donbt it, there is such a thing as truth. This was the sage utterance of Mr. Frothingham yesterday. He has been search- ing for ‘the soul of truth,” and having found it, we presume from our brief sketch, he laid it out and dissected it before his congregation yesterday. The soul of truth, as Mr. Froth- ingham has discovered it, is ‘the desire to find that which is established,” and having found it, there is then the second duty of declaring it by voice and life. If Mr. Beecher does not believe in total and universal depravity he does believe in universal imperfection. He finds in his own nature just what Paul found—the flesh warring against tho spirit and the spirit against the flesh. But it is the benevolent principle of toleration with Ronayne, commenting on a portion of the same parable, insisted on God’s entire and Sole control over his own gifts, and the cer- tainty of pay for work done for the Lord. The intensity of love of an eleventh hour Christian may accomplish more than the con- ptant half-heartedness of one who has been in the vineyard from the early morning. And in is sense the last are to be first and the first ~The reverend preacher warmly enforced the doctrine that God’s grace and salvation are prithin reach of every man, no matter in what part of the earth he may dwell, and whether {ke be pagan or Christian. Yesterday was the twentieth anniversary of We¥. Father Mooney’s pastorate of St. Bridget’s church, and the occasion was im- ‘proved by the reverend pastor to raise his warn- ery once more and call the idlers in the jmarket places to enter the Lord’s vineyard end work—in other words, ttend to the palvation of their souls. He deeply im- ypressed that he might be calling some of his earers now at the eleventh hour, and he there- warned them against delay and urged mpt action. To enforce this idea the better cited incidents and deathbed scenes which had witnessed during his twenty years’ among them. He also pathetically ferred to the death of Vicar General Starrs. , Rev. Father Bjerring uttered some plain ords about the Communists and clearly Frome his conviction that there can no liberty, equality or fraternity—the great watchwords of the reds—which joes not include God and religion as elements its composition. And the fatal error of Internationalists is to think they can set mp a civil society without God orChrist. The jreign of blood ond terror in Paris after the jelose of the Franco-Prussian war certainly Wurnishes a point to illustrate Father Bjerring’s \ptatement of the Scripture truth on this sub- ject, and we hope the Communists of this ity and country will read and ponder his rds. | “What is the relation of God to each indi- Widual soul?’’ was a question which Mr. Hep- orth yesterday endeavored to get his people ask themselves. It is a question that lies at the foundation of all human possibilities, nd because of its importance he would have very man ask and answer itin his personal experience. He would have them lay aside Jegal Christianity, which goes to God only on Saphens of sorrow or suffering, and take up ¢ practical every-day religion of the Gospel, hich is good in all weathers and under all ircumstances. 4 In very many minds the distinction between ith and imagination is not very clearly de- ed. Dr. Armitage yesterday defined faith ‘elief in the unseen which is fact,” and nation as “belief in the unseen which is iction.”’ Faith must have fact for its founda- ion. It does not rest on reasoning, and ‘‘it harder'to acquire than imagination.” The riptures teach that it is the gift of God, and Phat all men have not faith. Where the Faith is weak, and vice versa. “Dr. Paxton gave the young people of Madi- Yon square Presbyterian church some advice bout Christian work. He bade them go out Gn the highways and byways and dark corners the earth, bearing the torch of life and to lead wayward sinners to Christ. , The Episcopalians are creating an enthu- Biasm for missions, both home and foreign, imperfections which saves men. And this principle is the first twilight dawn of the con- ception of true religion. There must be some- thing higher than justice and different from justice. And this something is love in Christ Jesus our Lord, from which neither life nor death, nor angels nor principalities, &., can separate the believer. Rey. Dr. Partridge lifted up Christ and the cyoss yesterday before his people, and pre- sented the claims of both upon their affec- tions and homage. The cross, he declared, presented to mankind now as to Paul the same beauty and loveliness, shedding upon all who came within its hallowed influence the same. blessings, and making men, women and chil- dren partakers of His death and resurrection who died thereon. The great errand of Christ into the world was to make an atonement for sin. He satisfied the law and made it honor- able, and opened the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers, Miss Nettie Maynard worked herself into a trance yesterday to tell us stale common places as if they were thoughts fresh from the unknown land. If the spirits of the departed cannot give us any more orany better informa- tion than the Bible gives us, why should we leave the law and the testimony to inquire about the future life from mumbling spirits and table-rapping tricksters? And yet this is what Miss Nettie wants us to do. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. August Belmont and his family are in Italy. Judge J. Grant, of Lowa, is at the Grand Central Hotel.

The Little Town Again Inundated—The Presby- terian Church Surrounded by Water—The School Service Stopped and the Children Wading Home Partly in Water— Great Terror of the Inhabitants. Port Deposit, Ind., Feb. 9, 1873, This afternoon, quite unexpectedly, the water began to rise and to pour into the town at Rock, and the streets were soon flooded, as was also Middletown, which is just @bove this place. The scene of parties moving their household effects from the threatened point was again repeated, and with much more excitement than heretofor® owing to the continued rapid rise of the river. The water at four o’clock this afternoon was higher than at any time since the freshet began, and the slarm of the inhabitants increased mo- mentarily as the waters gathered around them. The Presbyterian church was entirely sur- rounded, At the new Methodist church the Sunday school ‘was compelled to suspend its services, the pupils with great difficulty reaching their homes, and in many cases they were compeiled to take the hill route, back of the town. The minister, Rev. Mr. Martindale, could not reach his residence, except by the use of a boat, and those persons who were caught in the lower part of the town had either to come up by boat or take the hill path. The Friendship Hotel, near the centre of the town, is completely surrounded by water. This day sixteen years ago there was just sucha freshet. As yet no movement of the ice is noted or re- ported from above. At six o’clock the water is still rising, and the excitement increases momentarily. At Davis and Pugh’s the water is three feet deep, and at Davis and Way's one foot. The rise has been two feet so far, but the water is rushing in rapidly, The various avenues from the river front to Main street and all the cellars and first stories of houses along the river bank are flooded. At seven o’clock the water gives evidence of slowly subsiding. At midnight there is no material change in the situation, The water continues to slowly recede. The weather is clear and cold and a strong wind is blowing from the northwest. The Canal at Chickies, Pa., Overfiow- ing, and the Railroad Track Covered by Eight Inches of Water. OLUMBIA, Pa., Feb, 9, 1973. At nine o’clock this evening the back-water occasioned by the ice gorge at Chickies is filling the Pennsylvania Canal and flooding its banks. About eight inches ef water now covers the tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad in the vicinity of the unnel just west of this place. The canal basin 8 filling up, and the coal stored on its banks is being washed away. Families are leaving the shores, and @ disastrous flood is expected. Railroad travel via Columbia may be interrupted unless the ice breaks away and allows the water to subside. ‘The Colambla railroad and travel bridge are in imminent danger. FOOTPADS IN BOSTON. Boston, Feb. 9, 1873. Early last evening four footpads made a despe. rate attempt to reb Rev. E. P. Marvin, editor of the Boston Datly News, in Bromfield street, One of the robbers seized him by the collar and pre- senting @ pistol at his head demanded his money or his life, while the other three surrounded him, apparently to prevent interruption or escape. Mr. Marvin, however, shouted lustily for assist- ance and the highwayman fled. The attempt was @ bold one, as many stores in the vicinity ef the outrage were open, and numerous persons were on the street. ANOTHER RAILROAD COLLISION IN PENN- SYLVANIA, PorrsviLLe, Pa., Feb, 9, 1873. The passenger train from Philadelphia, due here at nine P. M., yesterday at Mount Carbon ran intoa coal tralm. The engine of the passenger train and the baggage and ladfs’ car were thrown down an embankment, ‘The engine was entirely demolished, the bag- gage car burned and the passenger car part burned, Hugh Mal.en, the engineer, was seriously injared; John Johnson, fireman, also received severe internai injuries. Two ladies and a child In the passenger train car, bringing home a man who was hurt by the recent Conshohocken boiler explo- sion, escaped injury by being taken out of the car windew. The affair is blamed on the conducter of the coal train, SHOT BY A JEALOUS HUSBAND, CoLvmBvs, Ohio, Feb. 9, 1873, Jowon Henry Millet shot a druggist mamed Fer- dinand, whom his wife accused of attempting to outrage her.

The Prosident’s Determination Scaring Sainte—Will the “Elected of the Lerd” Show Fightt—What of That Statute of Limitation ? Saur Lake Orry, Feb. 9, 1873. As a knowledge of the intention of the President and Congress to deal with the Utah problem be- comes more general greater consternation is ex- hibited among the Mormons, and there is a general feeling of satisfaction among Gentiles, on the other hand, and it is hoped by the latter that the long rule of Brigham Young and the priesthood is about ended. The Mormons feet inclined to try to carry their way, and use ali their power to stave off action or to thwart the execution of the laws. The Mormon papers are striving to create a sen- timent of resistance among their fanatical fol- lowers, Indeed, nothing since the arrest of Brigham Young and others of the Mormon priesthood over @year ago has created such commotion here as telegrams received the last few days on Utah affairs. A Washington despatch published this morning, stating that the President has been at the Capitol and consulted with members of Congress and committees regarding Utah, urging decisive action this session, has almost the effect of a bombshell in the Church of the Latter-Day Saints. Such imminent danger never before, it is admitted, threatened the Mormon power. The Herald, however, has not assumed the defiant attitude of the News. In its issue of to-day it says if Grant chooses to come down from his high position and log-rolla pet measure of the Utah Ring it has no particular objection. It favors the appointment of a committee to investigate the affairs of Utah and acknowledge that the Territory must be legislated for in some shape soon. It is earnestly hoped that Congress will disap- Prove of the Territorial statute of limitation, which otherwise goes into force on the 16th inst, It will serve equally to protect the Church and Members from being prosecuted civilly, for the return of property taken by the Church before and since the ‘Mountain Meadow Massacre,” and it will destroy a part of the private rights of citi- zens. If the act stands Brigham Young and his followers will go free for deapoiling persons of their property, amounting to immense sums. The bill was signad by the Governor under a misap- prehension of its scope. A San Francisco-Arizona mission party is being hurriedly formed, in order to secure refuge for those persons against whom the laws are likely to be executed if Congress acts, WEATHER REPORT.

Twenty Thousand Persons Visit St<."8t- rick’s Cathedral to Look Upon the Remains of Father Starrs, Affecting Eulogy by Avrch- bishop McCloskey. THE GRAND AND SOLEMN CEREMONIES TO-DAY eceelanneieederseos The Touching Tributes to a Beloved Pastor. The remains of the honored Vicar General, the Very Rev. Father Starrs, were kept at the pastoral residence on Mulberry street until two o'clock in the afternoon, A solemn and perfect silence reigned in the house during the early hours of the day, only disturbed by the muffled footfalla of the Visitors and servants, At two o'clock the six gen- tlemen who had been appotated to transfer the re+ mains of the deocased priest from the pastoral ‘residence to the Cathedral—Messrs. O'Reilly, Corco- ran, Heran, Kenny, Miner and Doyle, all of whom are members of the St. Vincent de Paul Conierence—entered the house of death, and ranging themselves on either side of the superbly mounted casket, placed it on their shoulders, and with grave and reverent tread carried it from the back parlor through the hall- ‘Way and out into the street, where a large assem- blage of people of both sexes were in waiting to Get a look at the funeral cortége. The pallbearers— Dines Cardlin, Peter Dolan, John Kelly, John McKeon, M. O'Keefe, P. Hagan, John McKinley and T. O'Donohue—followed, together with the dis- tinguished prelates, Archbishop McCloskey, Bishop McNierney, of Albany; Archbishop Bailey, of Balti- more, and Bishop Laughlin, of Brooklyn. These last-named gentlemen were in a hol- low square, and as the cortége movea through the large crowds into Prince street ® most touching spectacle presented itself. No less than fourteen hundred children of both sexes, comprising among their ranks the orphans of the Prince street asylum as well as the boys and girls who attend the parochial school of St. Patrick’s, were assembled to do honor to the good priest’s memory. The orphan gins were clad in black, and they carned bouquets in their hands, which they were to place on the coffin as they defiled by it in the main aisle of the Cathedral. Many of the little girls were visibly weeping for the loss of Father Starrs, who had been more than a father to them. There were also twenty-two acolytes, im black cassocks and white sur- Pplices, who marched in the solemn train. ‘When the procession entered the church all those comprising it took seats in the body of the sacred edifice excepting the clergy, who entered the sanctuary. ‘The children of the orplan asylum and parochial school offered five Hail Marys and five paternosters for the repose of the soul of the deceased, The Ofice of tne Dead, with its impres- sive monotone, was then chanted by the priests, and during this time thousands of persons were endeavoring to gain admission, Drs. James R. Wood and O’Rorke were present in the Cathedral during the service. Dr, Clarke was unavoidably absent. GRIEF OF THE ARCHBISHOP. Archbishop McCloskey has suffered more than any one else by this sudden and unexpected blow. The reverend Archbishop feels most keenly the loss of an old and beloved iriend and coadjutor by the death of Father Starrs. At eight o’clock mass yesterday morning, while celebrating divine ser- Vice in the Cathedral, the Archbishop was almost overcome by emotion, and he very nearly broke down at the most solemn part of the service. The good prelate’s eyes were brimming with tears, and his voice and manner betokened the struggle that ‘was going on tn his breast. At the High Mass, at ten A.M. yesterday, the Archbishop was present, wearing his Episcopal robes. fhe celebrants were Rev. Fathers McNamee, Kearney and Kane. Father Kearney for three days and nights has been unwearied in Gischarsing tbe duties of the lace which the demise of the Vicar General has eft vacant, Owing to the death of Father Starrs no sermon was preached, but during the services the Most Rey. Archbishop, who was visibiy affected, rose and ascended the pulpit witna faitering step. Tne reverend prelate made some brief and touching remarks respect- img the decease of Father Starrs. He said that he did not intend to preach asermon, but only to sayafew words to the parishioners of St. Patrick's, who had known, loved and esteemed the deceased during life. He said :— “My friends, I want to ask your prayers for the re- pose ofthe soul of your late venerable friend and Bom” who is now no more. Very soon ke will inthe enjoyment of the heavenly kingdom. Whatever is Goud’s will must be ours; yet our loss is no common one. It i# @ very great and grievous one. It stirs the innermost recesses of our hearts, and the loss is not felt alone by the parishioners of the Cathedral, whom he joved so well, but lam sure likewise by the members of every congregation throughout the entire diocese. His brethren of the clergy, a8 well as the community over whom he has for 80 many years extended his‘fatherly protec- tion, deeply deplore the Joss of the oldest priest of the diocese. The Archbishop added that, now that Father Starrs is gone, tue oldest priest in the diocese stands before you, and he feels that he stands solitary and alone. Nothing remains for us now but to pray for the re- pose of his soul. To-morrow he will be spoken of by one better able to fulfil the task than lam. For nearly forty years he led a blameless and spotiess life, and in his labors in the Lord’s vineyard was indefatigable. No one could utter @ single word against the character which he bore, and the holy scriptures say, in a passage which specially commends itself to us on this occasion, “Biessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for thelr works do follow them.” Beloved brethren, we can best show our respect to his memory by constant and unremitting atten- tion to our religious duties. Si for him and tor ‘ourselves, that you may be enabled to walk in the Iootstepe of the good man who has heretofore been your guide and comforter, and may you, one aud all, recet special strength from God to sustaiu you tor the remainder of your lives. The reverend prelate then feelingly alluded to the loss he haa rsonalily sustained in the decease of Father Btarrs, who had been his adviser and friend. APPRARANCE OF THK CATHEDRAL, ‘The interior of the Cathedral presents a most sol- emn and impressive Sppearance to the spectator. It was almost midnight before the doors were closed, and up to that time not less than twenty thousand persons, of both sexes and ail ages, had taken @ farewell glance at the lineaments of their beloved spiritual guide, now rigid in death. The stained glass windows, the pillars and — sanctuary resented & most solemn aspect, ge 2 festooned with voluminous folds of heavy black crape, twined ‘with white fringe. Sixty members of the Societ of St. Vincent de Paal, wearing rosettes of biac! and white ribbon, were detailed by the President of the society, Mr. Hugh Moore, to late the in- gress and egress of the eager sn reverential visitors, The members of the society were rcat- tered throughout the edifice, and as the long lines ansed up to the catafalque, which was placed in main aisie, with the head towards the altar, they filed by without any confusion and in perfect order, The catafalque itself is ificently con- structed, and was the work of Mr. William Hart, sexton of the Cathedral, who had charge of all the arrangements connected with the obsequies. The square framework is covered and lined with black velvet, white satin and silver e, On the top is @ large cross, handsome)y ornamented.

St. Louts, Mo,,. Feb. 9, 18%. The following, which is part of Colonel You\k’s testimony before the Investigating Committee vt Topeka, Kansas, has not before appeared imany’) published account of the Senatoria’ contest in that State:— In answer to a question concerning & trip made by York to Washington in January, 1872, as agent of Independence, Kan., to secure the removal of the’ Land Office to that city, the witness sai@he had aa- interview with Senators Pomeroy and Cald- well on that subject on the evening of January 15, and that the decision was unant- mous against making the removal to Indepeudence.. The next day ba (Ydrk) called on General McEwen, of Washington, to whom he had a letter of introduction, and McEwen gave him tife afff- davits of the woman Alice Caton, charging Pom- eroy with baving been criminally intimate-wits her at Barnum’s Hotel im Baltimore. The same evening the witness went to Pomeroy’s house, where he had an interview with the Senator, which he thus details :— Mr. Pomeroy excused himself to his guests and* invited me into the next room, where I-showed+ him the papers I received from General McEwen, and asked him to read them, He said, in reply to~ an interrogation by me, that he did write @ letter recommending the appointment to a posl-- tion in the United States Treasury De- partment. of the woman therein referred to; that he was at Barnum’s Hotel, in Baltimore, at the time stated In such papers; that the womam referred’ to: therein was there at the same time; didn’t know whether the said woman occupied a room adjoining his, but thought her room was near his; could not say whether there was a communicating door between his room and that occupied by the woman; he denied having any improper relations with the womsn; he said a young man, whose name he could not then call to mind, went to Baltimore with him and occupied the same bed with him that night; was confident he could get the young man’s affidavit to that effect. He said these papers. were got up by W. ©. Cormon and some one else, I think Lieutenant Dunlay, as @ blackmatling scheme; that the same thing had been attempted upon Senators Morton and Chand- ler; I understood him to mean that the woman haa made similar charges against Senators Morton and Chandler; he said he hated to have such things brought out against. him, even it they were false; he did not want to take the time and trouble to disprove them, and that he would very much regret having such things sald of him by persons of character and standing, but did not care what democratic papers might say, as it would. be regarded as a political lie. Q. Did you not, at the time you handed these papers to Senator Pomeroy, speak about the Land . OMce, and say in substance that you wanted to show him that you were in earnest, or that you had never been able to make him understand the im- portance of the removal of the Land Office to Inde- pendence to him personally? A.I did ana ex- plained to him that he had bitter ene- mies in Independence, and that the mat- ter the papers referred to was known to several there; that the Democrat had already Published something about it, but that the better part of the community had never given credit to their truthfulness; but if we failed to get. the Land OMice after what he had promised te the people while there and to Colonel Gross and Mayor Wilson since then, it was not improbable that, in their disappointment in not getting the omMce and their indignation towards him, they Might use these statements against him; that Wilson was ignorant of the matter and the charges contained therein; was person- ally acquainted with W. ©. Carman; that the removal of the Land Office would tend to make him friends and disarm any attempt to slander him or injure his character in connection with these charges; that is just as near as I can remem- ber my statement to him. Senator Pomeroy further stated that he par- ticularly desired me to understand that he could have whatever he asked of the Interior Depart- ment; that he was n earnest now about this mat- ter and would mect me next Monday at eight o'clock and arrange matters definitely; the Land Office was removed to Independence, as promised, @ short time afterwards. The witness added that he had not used the Caton document against Pomeroy in the Sena- torial contest, and that its publication in. Topeka during that contest was without hts knowledge or connivance, and that he didn’t approve of, said publication. A despatch has been sent to Pomeroy by the - chairman of the committee requesting him to appear, and informing him that if he is unable to attend any statements he may see fit to make im the matter will be duly considered.
