CUT DOWN BY THE ICE.
The STEAMERS Lockwood and Silver Bow
Sunk at ST. louls-Bridgs at st.
Isssph Carried Away.

ST. LOUIS, February 26 "A large
field of very heavy ice came down the
river between seven and eight o'clock
this evening, and struck the steamer
r. J. Lockwood, lying at the Red
river Wharfboat, and crushed in near
ly the whole OF her starbOarG side.
She careened over and now lies on her
beam-ends close to the bank.
The Silver Bow, lying next to the
Lockwood, was also struck and
crushed like an eggshell. She was
dragged from her moOrings into the
current and sunk TO the hurricane root
in the channel.
The wharfbOat and steamer Minnie
were also somewhat damaged and
took some water, but they are kept
clear By pumps.
The LOckWOodea and Silver Bow are
probably total Wreck5-bOth owned
by the Carter and Red River Packet
company. The former is valued at
S25, 900 and was insured for $4,000.
The latter is valued at $38, 600 and
was insured for $25, 600, but the poll
cies ran out yesterday and only one
has been received for $500 On an in
terest in the Carter. The Silver Bow
was loading for Red river and had
about four hundred tons OF produce
and general merchandise aboard,
valued at about sixty thousand dol
lars. The Lockwood arrived to-day
and had discharged her cargo. The
ice was from a Missouri river gorge
and all ran out in short time.
BRIDGE AT ST. JOE CARRIED AWAY.
A dispatch from st. Joseph says
that the river there rose four feet in
three hours yesterday, caused by the
breaking up of Platte river, which
was choked with ice, The temporary
bridge there was swept away, but the
dykes, false work and piers are unin-
iured.

ward spoke OF the mysterious disap-
pearance Of large SUMS of money, I
meant nothing but this, that there was
a much larger sum paid by France
than was received by this govern
ment, the commission of Remington
being known to aggregate a consider
able sum.
Senator Frelinghuysen-Then the
senator puts his charge on a weaker
ground than supposed. l did not
suppose he would take that horn of
the dilemma. 1 would have clung to
the other.
Senator Frelinghuysen then re-
viewed the facts as stated By Senators
Harlan, Wilson, and OOnkiing, apd
insisted that the government had
carefully avoided selling arms to
known agents OF either beiIigerents
and had acted throughout IN strict ae-
cordance with its neutral obligations.
The senator from Missouri must not
be surprised at the sensitiyenes Of
Americans for the interests Of their
country. In listening that senator's
address delivered in Chicago to his
fellOw-citizens OF German birth, he
Frelinghuysenl had plainly seen a
cord OF sympathy that vibrated be-
tween the speaker and his audience
whenever the Fathcrland was men,
toned, and the senator must re-
member that Americans had the same
feeling for their own country. This
was question between Germany and
America, or it was nothing; the SEN
atOr would not dispute that. II he
should succeed in making out his case
against this country, it would excite
the animosity of the German Amer
leans, and If it would do that, must it
not necessarily have some effect on
the Germans at home and on the Ger
man government?
After further remarks, Frelinghuy-
sen concluded with a pulOpV on Cen
eral Grant and the Republican party.
Without reaching vote the senate
adjourned.

GOOD OLD DOCTRINE.
A Mild Rebuke to WOmsu who Mistake their
Sphers In Life.

CHICAGO, February 26.-Rev. DIR.
Patterson, pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church in this city, preached
last evening on the part that women
are called to take in the mission OF the
church-the theme being suggested by
the recent admission of Miss Smiley
into DR.. Kayler's pulpit, in Brooklyn.
During his sermon he submitted the
following propositions to show that it
was not in accordance with Presbyte-
rianism that woman should occupy
the pulpit:
First-That no such representation
was ever assumed by woman or per-
mitted to them under the Old Testa-
ment dispensstion.
Second--Thst the apostles and min
listers chosen by Christ were all men.
Third-That Apostle Paul unequiv-
ocably fOrb.ds women to speak in
public or usurp authority over the
man.
Fourth-Thst the position assumed
by the speaker was that Of the early
Church, with the apparent exception
of few fanatic sects; and,
Fifth-That il is expressly provided
in the constitution of the Presbyteri-
an Church that all elders and deacons
shall be male members.

Arthur and Boutwell,,
The General Order Business at the New
York Customhouse A Reform Prom
Neutrality-suspicious..

WASHINGTON, February 26.-Gen-
eral Arthur. collector of the port Of
New York. has written letter to Sec
retary Boutwell,, in which he express
ses the opinion that a complete or
ganizatiOn of the general order DUST
ness cannot be effected without ad-
ditiOnal legislation, and suggests that
no steamship should be allowed 10
discharge her cargo under the general
order system within less than two full
business days after her arrival. The
collector also says:
Il seems to me that the following
changes in the existing system may be
properly made: | propose to divide the
wRter front of the city into districtsI
making four or more upon North river,
and five on EEst river, in New York, and
to designate one warehouse Of class three
In each dissrict, to which all goods re-
moved under general order from vessels
landing within the district shall be sent.
propose also to designate six or more
similar warehouses in Brooklyn, and
one az Hunters Point, In addl-
ton TO the foregoing 1 propose to
permit the several steamship companies
TO select, of any class, three stores located
In the district In which their ships land
as warehouses for the storage of un-
claimed goods arriving by their vessels
respectively, suhjsc however, to the sin
gle condition that neither the steamship
company nor any person connected with
IL, shall hsve any interest In or control
over the warehouse so designated. l.
seems to me that any system which con-
tinuss the control Of the carrier over I'M
ported goods after they leave the ship,
affords undue facilities for frauds on the
government and increased difficulty IN
collection"
To this letter Secretary Boutwell,
made the following reply:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Washington, December %, 1872. !
SRI laid your letter OF the 23d before
the President, and am authorized to say
that ne approves the main features Of
your plan for the storage OF general or
der goods. The change should be made
with IS little delay as the nature of the
case will permit. On the reorganization
of the general order business, political in
husncss and personal interests should be
set aside. Having first made the rights
of the government secure, ik is the Pres
ident's wish that the work shall be SO ar
ranged and conducted so as to give the
largest facilities TO the merchants with
the least possible cost. The details Of or
ganizstion must be left to your iudg-
ment Respectfully,
