SHIPMENT PER ST. CALIFORNIA.
Ten tons Of freight from Port
Townsend, brought around on

night on the North Pacific. In

RAILROAD FREIGHT TARIFFS.

IMPORTANT ACTION OF VARIOUS COMPANIES.
Yesterday meeting held at tho Metropolitan

railroads for tho purpose of considering the question

OF this month. Although the discussion private

the present contracts with shippers will be annulled
after March l. II believed however, that the final
decision OF the whole will bo referred TO the
presidents OF each OF the trunk lines for final ratca-
tion. A HERALD reporter waited of the princ
pal officers OF The Cheap Transportation Association
learn his views regard to the matter and that gen.
tleman said that the railroads doubtless prepared
to eqralize the tariff ar that within the last days
the of freight had four cents per hundred
to the Baltimore schedule from the West, and
hoped before another fortnight the rates would be
still alike, that the discrimination
against New York would be but little If any
on the whole he believed the railroads
now alive TO the damage already inflicted on
the commerce OF this city and were moving OF their
accord to adjust the differences One OF the chief
reasons Tor the diversion of foreign trade TO CINCINNATI
ST Louis and other largo western cities, was the law
authorizing transportation in bond, and payment OF
duty AT the place Of delivery OF the goods and now
the Western wholesaler instead OF making purchases
from the New York merchants, goes 10 the foreign
market direct An cxamnaton OF the customs receipts

The charges against MT Bowen, made by Plymouth
church, will be considered at adjourned church
meeting tomorrow evening to which admission by
ticket only will be permitted. Mr. Bowen bas been
served with summons TO attend this meeting, but Mr.
Shcarman stated yesterday that he had been given to
understand that Mr. Bowen would not attend, and
would thus leave the church to decide what should be
done in reference to his 1t is believed that ma

Deacon Howard, Ross Raymond and other adv-
sers of the pastor OF Plymouth church,

But should that Conferences approve II was claimed
by some that the superintendent could continue TO

and the quarterly Conferences that approval gives MN
the right only to seat in that body, but non-approval
does not deprive HIM OF the position to which ne

not elect cannot depose. Bishop Bowman, IN

MINISTERIAL CONFERENCES.

THE METHODIST MINISTER'S DIsPLEAsED WITH
SUNDAY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT-rHE BAr-
lists REVIEWING DIR. BUsHNELL's LATEST
WORK.
The management of Sunday schools has become
very important question with the ministry and
churches of different denominations, but specially
with the Methodsts, because OF their large number
and great prominence which those institutions
have grown OF late. Many of Sabbath schools are
conducted Independently of the church or the
pastor. They raise tie money to carry on
their work in their way, elect their officers TO
suit themselves and In several instances are not only
independent but actually hostile the church authori.
ties. And, Rev. D. c. Lppincott, ofNow Jersey in
his paper yesterday declared, many OF them are
little better than places and for recreation
Irritation display Of the latest fashions in and
millinery. The reported number OF scholars in the
Methodist Sunday schools OF tho United states for
1875 is 4O6 1Gs 20 which may be added over 200 600
officers and teachers. And yet out OF this
great army only 1000 converts are reported This
number while large in Itself relatively very small
as Mr.. Lippncott thinks when we consider the very
extensive machinery employed. But the great ques

association OF teachers who may independent Of the

such superintendent against the will and pro-
test OF that conference. Mr. Lippincott's remedy IS
additional legislation by the General Conference
giving 10 the Quarterly Conferences the right elect
sunday school supcrinicndchs and tchchers TO raise
moneys 10 carry the work Of the school the
as II provides for the preachers salary and
other church expenses and be In every respect respon

He said there satisfaction outside OF Christ,
aud unless man had received and accepted Christ
there never peace in his soul HIS spirit and
mind were always perturbed till he had received that
great blessing of knowing and believing In Christ
When He comes TO He blots out all sins We
thank Thee, Lord, that there many in New
York who could tell the story of their conversion and
who were even working with all their might TO
bring other sinners to repentance Tho good work
going on and the fruits of the abors of the Christian
workers already becoming apparent
Dr. Lorimer. OF Boston. gave detailed occount OF
the Christian work in Boston and Charlestown. He
said that the revival of religion IN Charlestown

the Church by hundreds and the number OF solid
versions made was wonderful In Boston also the
good work progressing almost beyond his greatest
anticipation.
Dr. Lormer was fallowed by Mr. McDougan, the
American Consul to dundee who gave description OF
tho result of Mcssrs. Moody and Sankey's labors in
Dundee. When Nj Moody came there first he had TO
combat great many old-time customs and preudices.
His method Of conducting prayer meetings
was altogether new, and the ministers
did not like innovation. But his success
bringing thousands OF souls to Jesus marvel
lous. Crowds went to hear HIM out OF curiosity merely
and of these crowds many remained to pray, anu
those who became converted have since then been
steadfast and true, and have brought many others into
the Church OF Christ since, When Mr. Moody came 10
