PHILADELPHIA, April 11, 1874. It will be ascertained by turning tothe HenaLp weport of the disaster to tne steamer Pennsylvania, ‘as rendered by the company, that the ship was in comparatively good condition before the accident, and that it was pot owing to faulty construction, but to the severity of the storm, that she was no terribly disabled.

Generali Heury Storms, whose name has long been # household word among old time New, York- ers, died yesterday moruing at his residence, Tarrytown, on the Hudson, at a little past ten @ clock. The General, it seems, has been lingering for some time past, his death having been hourly expected during the last three weeks, born on the 4th of June, 1795, and, a/ter passing through a useful and eventiul life, he reached the Fipe ole age of seventy-nine years. In 1525 be was elected Alderman oi the old fwellth ward, of New | York, and succeeded in extending the debtor's mits, Fourteenth street being tuen the highest unt @ debtor could go; but he secured tne mits to Harlem Kiver. He was also the projector of what was kuown as the Hariem Canal. When a young man in his teens he became a member of a cavalry company, and, alter passing througn the | Beveral grades, rose to post commandant. While acting as such he received Generai Latayette at Casule Garden, his command acting as escort to Putnam Hill.

Dr. Ferris-Is It Right to Alter the Date of a Commutation Ticket t ‘There was a fair attendance at the New York Conference yesterday. The session, a8 usual, Was | preceded by an earnest prayer meeting. | Bishop Peck, who presided, introduced the Rev. | Dr. King, of the froy Conference, whg gave & very | favorable account of Fort Edward@ institute. The | address was listened to with much interest. The names of the candidates for pastorates given | MD yesterday’s HERALD were called, and they were | formally admitted into “full connection” as mem- | bers of the Conference, | Rey. William Coombs, of the New York district; | Revs. M. D, Snyder and Peter Stickle, of the Rhine- beck district, and Revs, H. F, Oadell, W. P. Jonn- appointez deacons, and Revs. William Bryan and W. P. sones were elected to “elder’s orders.” | Rev, Alonzo Fiack, of Claverack; Professor | Latimer, of the Boston University Theological | Seminary, and Professor Frost, of Amenia Semi- | nary, gave lengthy but interesting accounts of | the condition and prospects of these instita- | tions. These reports were encouraging, and they all | agreed that a large number of young men were PREPARING FOR THE METHODIST MINISTRY. The Rev. Dr. Wentworth, editor of the Ladies’ Repository, spoke of the growth and healthful in- fluence of the Methodist publications, and dwelt on the necessity of giving tne conduciors of those journals a liberal support. A report of the condition of the Episcopal fund Was presented by Rev. Dr. A. M, Osborn, showing that the receipts from the Conference were $1,749 30, and the amount appropriated $3,400. The examination of character was taken up, and, with the exception of Rev. J. G. Slater, all in the Rhinebeck, Practsville, Ellenville and Newburg districts were “passed.” The presiding elder of the Rhinebeck district gave a favorable account of the growin of Methodism in that locality. The re- ort in regard to tne Ellenville district was also vorable, although stress was laid upon the disas- trous consequences of the failure of the Midiand Railway. The case of Rev. Dr. Ferris, of the Bedford street church, was taken up. This case is somewhat i- volved and requires explanation. Rey. Dr. berris, who is a very popular preacher, was charged, two years ayo, with having altered the date of a com- mutation ticket of "ne Hudson River Railroad, thus intending to extend the time when it was to expire. When the matter was brought before the Conterence of 1872 it appointed a committee to Investigate the facts, Tnis committee condemned tie action of | Rev. Dr, Ferris, but the offence was condoned in | consideration of his coniession of guilt. In open | Conference Dr. Ferris spoke as follows:—*With regretiul feelings I come betore you and make con- fession of an act of my life that has incurred your disapprobation. I am frank to say that the act shouia have been avoided, was hasty, 11] advised and wrong. I regret it as well as any evil which may have grown out of it. Will you forgive an erring brother 7”? Rev. L. M. Vincent then moved | that his character pass, and finaliy the Conterence reed to Rev. RK. S. Foster’s amendment, that “in | view of the frank and Christian coniession of | Brother Ferris his character pass.” After a silence of nearly two years Dr. Ferris | published, @ month ago, a pamphlet defend- | ing his conduct im this matter, and the present | Conference appointed a commitree, which re- | ported yesterday that the publication of the de- | fence was to be condemned, ihe more so as hi had confessed his guilt. They also found that cer tain grievances which he had against the Iludson River Ratiroad were a partial extenuation of the act, and recommended that bis character pass on | condition of his promising to keep quiet in the future. fhe report was laid over for want of time, Ferris will address the Conierence in his own de- sence. ‘The Rey. J. G. Slater wished that certain charges preierred against him might be read. This was | done, and as his accuser was not forthcoming his | case was also laid over. The Conference then ad- | journed, New York East Conference. The Conference met ateight A. M, the devo- uonal exercises being under the direction of Rev. de Inskip. At the business session Rev. O. B. | Peterson was received by transier from the Wis- consin Conference and Rev. W. P. Westgate from the Providence Conference. The following brethren, deacons of the second class, were elected to elders’ oi ders:—Revs. H. Q. Judd, John Brien, C. W. Gallagber, A. P. Chapman, H. E. Burns, Charles W. Fordham, H. A. Van Dal- « | sem, Joseph H. Beale, Orrin C. Lane, W. W. Eider. These brethrem, having travelled four years and passed a satisfactory examination before the Con- | ference Committee, were entitied to this promo- tion, Rey, A. B. Smart, of this class, was trans- | ferred to the Maine Conference, and A. 0, Ham- mond, of the same class, Was continued in this re- Jatien foc another year. TOO MANY SERMONS EVEN FOR MINISTERS, Dr. Ketrill, chairman of the Examining Commit- | tee, reported that the mass of manuscripts laid before the committee would bewilder any com- mittee. They couid not read them all; it would | occupy more than three months to do so, He therefore moved that the candidates of the fourth | year be required to send in their replies to the chairman of the commitiee one month vefore the meeting of the Conference. Ordered. Tne folowing named brethren were elected to local deacons’ orders:—Robert P, Christopher, a | local preacher, recommended by the Quarterly Conterence of Port Washington; James Taylor, | recommended by the Bridgeport District Con- | ference; W. F. Marckinke, recommended by | Madison (Conn.) Quarterly Conferenc Lindsay Parker, of Twenty-seventh street, New Y: . Wile | son, of Westchester and West Farms. G. C. Spencer, was recommended by the Beekman Hiii Quarterly | Vonference, but having tailed to appear before the Examining Committee. his application was with- drawn. Joseph Zwieel, a student at the Wes- | leyan University, recommended by York street Methodist Episcopal Quarterly Conference, Brook- lyn, having committed some college indiscretion | by whicn he was suspended for a t!me from preach- ing, his application having been opposed, was withdrawn. H. C, Matthews, a colored missiou- | ary, the City Missionary Society, was received with applause. Brother Meredith reported that this colored brother @ jew years ago boughé his fre dom from slavery. He knows nothing about FE) | lish grammar or geogmaphy, had not read Wat- | son’s Institutes or Wesley on Perfection, but he | had read the bible and was imbued with its spirit | from Genesis to Revelation. | THE COMMITTEE ENJOYED A TREAT in the examination of this brother which he (Meredith) would have been glad the entire Con- ference could have shared, The committ therejore, reported this brother’s examinat! very satisfactory, and this recommendation was eee with applause, and he was elected unant- mously. The following named brethren, having travelled two years in (ull connection with the Conference, | were advanced to the second class:—George B, Dusinberre, James H. Crofut, sohn Ripper and J. E.

O. Haven, the Secretary o! the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, addressed tue Conference on the general subject of education. The society for which he tabors has an endowment of $100,000, and he hoped it might soon be $1,000,000, They need this sum for the work they are doing. They need this sum to meet all the demands of ministerial students for education. He has received at least 500 letters during the year, and the Board has been able to aid thirty students for the ministry. CHANCELLOR WINCHELL, OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, spoke in the interest of that institution. The hail o; langnages has been completed ana in nse since | Jast May, and all operations of the liberal arts | are carried on. This is the first college of fine arts established in this country. There are 137 students in the University—in the fine arts 16 and in the gymnasium 89 ‘The moral and religious character of the students Is good. Professor Rice, of Wesleyan University, spoke in bebaif of that tn- stitution, of which, perhaps, a majority of the | Members of the Conference are alumni. Dr. Dasuiell addressed the Conference in the in- | terest of the reat Society. He hoped this | Conierence wonld not follow the New York Conier- © and report a decline—the first Conference has sounded @ retreat on this line. Dr. Woodrutt presented a paper whith will, doubtless, call forth some debate before the Con- ference adjourns, It asks for the reduction of the presiding elders’ districts trom five to three. It Was temporarily iaid on the table. The claim of Dr. De Haus for services was also tabled, On Monday, at haifpast ten o'clock A. M., the temperance ladies of Brooklyn wiil address the Conference.

Farther Extracts from the Press of the Country. The Burlington (lowa) Hawkeye (republican) has this to say :— In inaugurating this system of inflation Congress is guilty Of one of the greatest blanders ever co mitted by a legisiative , and it is a disgrace vo our country, and will be forever conspicuous in our nr, asa folly so absolute and inexcusable as to be tittle less than @ great crime. ‘Ihe effect Of thi8 policy upon the repubiican party will be disastrous, — It will, in all provabiiity, alienate the New England States, make New York dead sure for the opposition, render Ohto more doubtful than ever, and in every State make lukewarm or drive into active oppositiou an element which has been one of the chie! sources of strength and per- mManency to the republican party. Though the question in Congress 18 Rot a party one, the repub- licans being in large majority, they are naturally and properly held responsivie for legislation, and they will have to bear the burden of this odious measure, adding one more to the load under which the party now staggers to its fall. The Davenport (lowa) Gazette says :— Much has been said during the discussion of the bill about tne conflict between the Kast and the West on the subject of infauon, and strong eiforts have been made to get up sectional differences 10 the premises. But there ts reaily no such dlifer- ence. Jowa no more hes to see a plethora of depreciated currency than Pennsylvania, and the Missourt Senator struck more aud harder biows against the ruinous principle than all the Eastern Senators put together. he West we have seen give a larger vote im favor of the measure; but that vote does not represent the popular feeling, and when the fight actually comes, forced upon tue nation by an irredeemavie currency, 1t will be national and not divided by @ny geographical boundary line. What con- fidence can be felt in financial circ when it is felt that by lending a lar, worth ninety-five cents to-day, it may ve patd to-morrow with one only worth eighty cents ? Tbe vote in the Senate yesterday may be entitled @ Vote to injure commercial credit and to destroy confidence; and, worse than that, it is accumula- tive aud ltkely to lead to turther attempts at facti- tonsly easing a tight national money market, going on till greenbacks will be handed round Without mutual belies im their face value, and their final repudiation, The New Haven Register (democratic) declares that “if President Grant failsin his duty to veto uhe Inflation bill, he will meet a public censure such as Jew Presidents have experienced.” The Sacramento Record (republican) says:— It President Grant wishes to prove himself the true friend of the people and ts not afraid of tem- porary misgonstruction, he will never have a bet ter Opportunity to immortalize himseli than is (republican) afforded bim by the power of vetoing this most | pernicious measure. The Montgomery (Ala.) Journal (republican) de- clares + Congress may vote $100,000,000 more greenbacks this week, put them out and in thirty days $99,000,000 of them would be back again to the commercial centres. Our timber lands have never yet been cleared of trees by cutting off the branches at the top. The Congressional currency doctors ought to be sent to some financial school and take lessons in the primary studies of currency and monetary matters. The Atlanta (Ga.) dent) has this to say:— What the country needs now 1s a business based upon standard values, Gold—solid gold—is the only real standard of value. The more we inflate the currency the further we separate irom this Commonwealth (indepen- value and the further we are removed from a@ solid prosperity. The lessons of the panic of last jail are too soon forgotten. it was the high pressure mode o! flnanciering that brought’ the crash upon us. Things then were placed upon their roper levcis, and after the amazed stupelaction began to Clear away and men began to see how they really did stand, the times were slowly beginning to move on again, when now comes this new expedient to build upon the solid foundations thus fixed a structure as airy as the one just tumbled into dust, It requires no prophetic eye to see that a tumble as disastrous will overtake this new one. The Cape Ann (Mass.) Advertiser (independent) remarks :— President Grant, by the signing of his name in vetoing this monstrosity of a Currency pull, can win for himself such laurels as will lar exceed those gained as commander of the Union forces, The question now 1s, “Will he do it??? The Lawrence (Mass.) Sentinel (democratic) say! The deedis done, and we care not whether these truckling, cowardly demagogues were democrats | or republicans. If tne democratic party cannot survive without the sacrifice of all the principles and ail the sentiments which it exists to embody and contend ior, the democratic party had better ale, ‘The New London Telegram (independent) says :— In all his messages, as well as In private conver- tion, the President nas declared his intention to stand by the pledges which the republican party gave to the country. Heis in every way squarely comunitted against the schemes 01 the inflationista, and it now remains to be scen whether he will redeem the pledge solemnly made by the party that placed him in power and have the courage to foilow out the dictates of bis conscience and good judgment. The Elkton (Md.) Democrat (democratic) be- rates the democrats for voting for inflation thus:— Tois knowledge shouid have -heid them firmly bound to adhere to the principles of their party. Tuey should never have yielaed to temp rary and inane clamor {for more currency when they knew it was financial poison their sections demanded. Like all temporizers, they may live to see the fruits ot their folly and to find in their hands apples of soedom. The Yonkers Gazette (democratic) says:— The arrogant assumption of the machinery makers of the Republic wich prompted this out- rage on the community calis lor repudiation for all time of the party who secured its consummation, and avindication of the democratic doctrines of iree trade and hard money as the only sure pro tection against sucn outrages in the iuture, The Harrisburg Patriot (democratic) says of the bill:— It is a compromise merely between two classes of inflationists in which each takes half, lezal tenders and national bank notes to be in- creased in nearly equal quantities. The vill now goes to the House and it is not improbable that the Fesuit in Connecticut wilt briug that body to a realization of the true condition of public senti- ment on the currency question. Referring to the statesmen and others who have been alienated from the President by his errors, the Philadelphia Lvery Evening remarks:— With what a sweep, then, the waning affection of ali such would revurn to President Graat should he have the courage to take this inflation monster by the throat and strangle it! BROOKLYN AFFAIRS, peg The police of Brooklyn arrested 449 persons dur- ing the past week. The taxes received by Collector Barrows last Week amounted to $74,706 31, The Fourth precinct police soup kitchen, just closed, expended $2,272 for meat and vegetables since Feoruary 18.

The tunds accruing from the “charity benefit” which takes place at Niblo’s next Thursday, under the auspices of L’Union Frangaise, Loage No. 17, F. and A. M,, are to be devoted toa meritorious and | deserving object of charity—an old Frenchman and his wife, whose respective ages are seventy- two and seventy-nine. They have for three years | suffered poverty, want, and, last of all, hunger. But recently this aged couple were without food for three days, and would no doubt have starved were it not for a reporter of the HeRaLp, who lately among the homeless and the distressed dis- covered death rather than murmur a word of their un- happy condition. A jew years ago they were tolerably well off, Monsieur B, was a member of “L’Unton Frangaise,” and has ever been a true anda worthy Mason. The Lodge is not able to make up the sum required to send this old couple back to their native land, and to place them, when there, in some charitable institution—hence the benefit. The bill is a strong and an attractive one, aod ougnt not to tail in drawing a crowded house and clearing @ substantial sum to go towarus placing the old gentleman and lady beyond the peril of turther privations. A Charity Concert. A number of prominent citizens interested In be" half of Mr. 8. H. P. Meigs, whose sad condition re" sulting from sickness and destitution was pre- sentedin the HERALD some days ago, have ar- Tanged to give a concert for his benefit, on Tues- day evening of this week, at the Church of the Messiah, Park avenue and Thirty-lourth street. Among the artists who volunteer are Mr. George W. Morgan, organist; J. R. Thomas, barytoue; Jules Lombara, basso, and Mme. De Reyter, 01 the Wieniawski troupe. SHIPPING NEWS. OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.
