Among these blindly conceded Grants Max issued two to two sets of foreign contractors ‘for the construction of a railroad from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico—one line to pass through Orizaba and the other via Jalapa and Perote.

A meoting of the sb’ penters was held yesterday Grand ™ 25, Meeting im the Aca- demy of Music. ” r morning at the co;nmittee rooms, No. 65 East Broadway, There were piésent representatives from the caulkers and joliérs. Mr. Burrell, the Chairman, stated that three employers, including Mr. Secor, of Thirteenth street, North river, aud Mr. Allison, of Jory City, had engaged one hundred caulkers and forty ship carpenters on the eight hours system, and that five ship carpenters, members of the society, had taken contracts from the merchants, and had now from forty-five to seventy-five men at work. The members of the society renewed their resolutions to persist tm the demand for the eight hour system, and never give in, until it is established in New York. The delegation from the joiners stated on bebalf of their society that they wero determined to stand out mapfully until the cause was gained, notwithstunding the request of ihe “boases”’ that the badges of tbe men shall be given ep, The meeting adjourned with three cheers for the eight hour movement DISCUSSION OF THE NEW EXCISE LAW. Addresses by Henry Ward Beecher, Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, Rev. Mason Gallagher and Others. &e. &e. de. The efforts of the Board of Excise to exorcise the de- mon of intemperance are very generally approved of in Brooklyn, and last evening a grand temperance mass meeting was held there in the Academy of Music. The Placard of the Committee of Arrangements announced that a number of distinguished clergymen would address the meeting, and all in favor of a rigid enforcement of the late law passed by the Legislature to regulate the sale of liquor in the Metropolitan Police district were in- vited to attend. In response to the above call the vast building was filled to overflowing, Parquette, dress circle, galleries and boxes were all crowded. No chargo was made for admission, On the stage were the presi- dents of the various temperance societies and other in- vited guests, who were admitied by ticket. Music, both vocal and instrumental, gave a pleasing variety to the exercises; the first was furnished by the Tremaine Brothers, and the latter by the fine band of the Sixty- ninth regiment New York National Guard. At eight o'clock, the hour announced for proceedings to commence, the building was filled with probably the largest audience ever assembled witbin its walls. Mr, J, N. Stearns, chairman of the Committee of Ar- rangements, called’ the meeting to order, and, after stating its object, read a lettor from Mayor Booth, an- nouncing his inabiiity to attend and preside over the meeting, and nominated Mr. George il as President. Mr. HALt came forward and said:—Ladies and genile- men, permit me to ay Hinged you on this large and respectable meeting on this very important movement; but, without making ang further remarks, I shall have to docline the post of honor, as I have been very unwell for the last week, for which reason I hope you will per- mit me to decline, and nominate Mr, Stearns, Op motion Mr. Stearns was unanimously nominated as presiding officer, and introduced Mr. Ina Buckman, of Williamsburg, as the first speaker, He said:—Mr. Presi- dent and ladies and gentlemen, I find myself in a posi- tion to-night that I little expected to occupy. I came here to be a silent listener, to hear what might be said of the work thet had been done in our capital. To-night is the proudest moment of my life, and some fruits of what ave so Jong been working for we have seen during the last two Sabbaths—we have seen two quiet New England Sabbaths in the city of Brooklyn. at this time Rev. Henry Ward Beecher appeared and ‘Was greeted with loud applause. ‘Mr. Buckman continued by saying that they had seen in the — prints that every Union member of the City of klyn did all he coula to bring about this state of things, and that he deserved no more credit than any other member, save that it was his god fortune to move its passage before the House. Had he done less he would not have done his duty, and had he endeavored to have done more he could not have accom- aera less. Three great objects would be accomplished the bill, considerable revenue would be derived in the shape of taxes, rum would be driven out of grocery stores, and, last but not least, gentlemen would have no business out after twelve o'clock at night. Loud cheors and ye age greeted this announcement, mm the midst of which Mr, Buckman retired to make way for Rev. Heyry who was received enthusiasm, ani with Testor he said:—Mr. President, ladies and gen- tlemen, I have heard it said ‘80 often began to tear it might be true, that the temper- ance cause was dead. If it be so this is the goodliost funeral that ever I saw. (Laughter.) Last week I had the privilege to attend such another funeral meeting at the Cooper Institate—a real old fashioned temperance meeting. Ev ‘be there, and all cause had tak THE CAULKERS. Numbers of caulkers may be seen at the street corners, discussing the turn and progress of those events that have . oy reference to, and interest for, themselves. They have acted in an orderly and peaceable manner since the beginning of the strike. They state that Mr. Allison will place on dock to-day the ship Frank Fint, to be stripped, caulked and coppered. This work will require one hundred and twenty men about two days and a half. During the atrike, itis suid, Mr. Alligon has had several be by men who had struck in other shops. Baxe tor & Mozier have twenty-five caulkers at wo-k on’ the brig Maudarin, and there are, we are told, several caulke ers doing business on their own account. Subscriptions in aid of the men are coming im from Boston, Baltimore, New Oricans, Washington and San Francisco. From the last named ‘city one thousand dol- lars in gold have been contributed, and the cauikers of San Francisco assure their brothers in New York thav they will send on more money whenever it is required. The workmen say that one or two prominent ‘bosses’? went round among the leading ship builders and assured them that if they held out for some days they could get any number of hands they pleased; but after the employers had waited a considerable time, no men presented themselves. In one case thirty men were ised, but oply two went to work. Out of twelve undred men who compose the Cauikers’ Society, only two have cut connection with the strike and resumed work on the old terms. Several of the German trades societies have given this movement their support, aa have also workingmen’s associations embracing persons of different nationalities, The average amount of subscriptions received weekly for the aid of the caulkers is from $1,500 to $2,000. The largest subscriptions have come ‘from the Boston Caulkers’ Association. The smallest subscription from any trade has been $100, The New York Hatters’ So- ciety have donated $500, and state that they will open their treasury to the caulkers if the position of affairs should render it necessary. The Working Men’s Union, achartered bodv, are, we are informed, about to'contract a loan of $25,000, with the view of rendering assistance to the caulkers and joiners, in the event of a deticiency in the funds which are now being raised by supscription. The men declare, with the utmost confidence, the strike must suc~ ; that they are more resolute now than when the strike Lm 9 and that their ‘Union must and shall be preserved. The “bosses” state in their circular, recently publishe od, that ‘no workmen can be «i , however indo- lent, incompetent, or dishonest he may be, without the consent’’ of the men. The caulkers, ‘ng for them~ preci § fay that this is an unfounded assertion, and that if a man is dishonest or indolent they heartily cons cur with the “bosses” in discharging him, By thelr rules, they say, an incompetent man cannot be admitted into their society, as they have a committee of investiga- tion to test a workman’s merit, and see that he is per- fectly able to do the duty assigned him. With regard to dishonest workmen, they have the power of either exe pelling or suspending such, and, to show that they have ' no sympathy with those of their trade who may have ‘een guilty of theft, they assert that they have on some occasions taken men who were, caught in the act of stealing bofore the “bosses,” who ordered them to be led G0 und declined to prosecute them. represent that they by ally resol ite with tho carpen. are jut ters and caulkers to continue the strike, and their bro- ther workmen believe that the joiners have much power wo @ through this contest with ital, as they are able to turn themselves to house work, at which many of Warp man was there because he wanted to went away feeling that the temperance en a new lease of life.
