Captnin De Groot’s Bronze Venderbilt Medal—An American Work of Art. The richest bronze medallion ever desigued in this country is now on exhibition at 391 Broadway. It weighs over 1,600 pounds, is five feet in diameter, and bears 4 life-size fgure, in vignette style, of Com- modore Vanderbilt, It took the designer over eighteen months to complete the work, and the re- sult of his protracted labors t3 that he has added a | bold and massive contribution to American art, sur- passing, in harmonious design, In deiicate exccu- ton and general treatment anything of the kind known. To cast @ bronze five fect in diameter. composed of solid metal, so that the Impress will relicve all the delicate arteries ana tissues of the human face, is no easy task; botin this case Uap- tain De Groot has achieved a triumph, The central figure is the likeness of the Commo- dore in bas relief, on a raised medallion. As fattn- fuily representing the features of the great moneyed king, his friends declare it to be perfect. Certain it 18 that the anatomy of the face has been care- fully studied, that the torehead is promiment and modelled in accurate outiines, and that the profile, inciuding the nose and lips, has been moulded with success, In the foreground are two figures m repose—one a figure of an Indian in mezzo reuievo, over Whom a rove has been piaced careiess- ly, disciosing the tine physique of a superb chest.and the limbs of the athiete of the forest. The face ig shadowed by an expression Of wonderful fideliy to the copper-colored nomad, and tue entire figure realizes the personality of a North American Indian. ‘Lo the rigit 13 the figare of a sailor, almost in alio relievo, With his arm embracipg @ sextant. with a Sailor’s hat, a jaumy tie bent with a square knot, and all the traditional embiems of the old sai, The faco is intensified by an expression of proud modesty that has falicn well from the idealization of the artist. Both of these figures embrace tae medal- lion of the Commodore in the centre, their hands resting on the clecum{erence of the outer rim. ‘The foreground is filled in with flowers, tne to- bacco plants and bicssoms, @ tomahawk placed in the different sections to produce tae harmony sought. Io the lett background are locomotives and cars, the former bearing tue Ominous iascrip- tion, “Vanderbilt.” Toe far distance is a primiiive forest, through which passes the matled patiway of the tron horse. Among the triumphs commemo- rated none has been more fittingiy symbolized than the marine #entevements of the Commodore. The steamers Vanderbilt aid North Star, rigged and equipped, with topsais bellying out to windward, penuant flying and backstays and spars in position for @ sti breeze, occupy the rigut background, Clouds reat over the whole. In looking at the me- daltion as a work of art the diticuities In execution must be considered, for they are innumerable and almost insurmountable. Notwithstanding, the figures are clear and bold, the allegory suggestive and well detined,and the history symbolized us fatiifully as the nature of art wil allow. Long will this gem remain alter its designer and the subject it commemorates shall have perished from the memory of man, it was modelled by E. Vlassman and cast by Fisher Brothers, and will be placed in the new depot at Forty-second street ana Fourth avenue, THE WORKINGMEN'S UNION. A Rald on John Chinaman from Across the Water—Judge Gale Hauled Over the Conts, A reguiar semi-monthly meeting of this organiza- tion was held last evening at Early Closing Hail, 267 Bowery, Mr. Neison W. Young in the chair. Mr. Alexander McDonald, President of the Miners’ Association of Great Britain, was invitea to a seat by the President, who welcomed him in o few @ppropriate remarka, Mr. McDonap returned thanks for nis cordial re. ception, and said he had been here since the 4th of September, and had visited a great number of States and Territcries with a view of studying the social condition of the workingmen of the land, He had been on as far as the Pacific slope to‘see how cheap labor worked there, He was satisfied that cheap labor, wherever found, was the dearest labor. Cheap labor, either in ape or America, was not calculated to promote the interests of either coun- try. He then proceeded to give a description of the miserable state of the cneap labor clement on the Central Pacific Ratlroad. He determined to sea John Chinaman in bis home, and found him wasbiug, Bianding up to his middle in the water and ina [ea which no Civilized man ougitto “pe His domicile was 1 a state of ilith and degradation such as he had never seen in the greatest slums of Europe. They laid on the floor to sieep and were packed together something like sardines in a box, That was tne condition of the cheap labor element a3 he saw it. He came to the conclusion that wherever such an element pre- dominated it would lead to the destruction of the people both socially and morally. It struck him that an effort should be made by the workingmen of the United States at once to prevent importation. The Chimese people coming here at all was not an immigration, It was an importation, and they were brought co this country by contract made for them and not by them. If the working men of Amer permitted this importation of Chinamen they per- mitted a slaye clement among them to thoit own detriment. In the case of the colored man ie tin tated the Angio-saxon race as closely as he could; but m the caso of the Chmamen, they had =a historical barbarian, with barbaric tastes of & thousand years standing, He brongut everything With him from his own country, even his own literature, and he (the speaker) did not see that he bad cartaied; bis pigtail oue inch or e@iven up eating his rats ond mice since his advent 1a this country.

When discovered decoased was lying tn ved, with a stab wound im the breast, and beside her lay a for- midable looking, sharp-poinied knife, It was stated by the acquaintances of deceased that she had long been sick with consumption, but no one seemed to know anything concerning the manuer in which sno received the stab wound.

Business was declared in order, and the report of the Executive Council was then fead, which concluded with an affecting tribute of respect to the memory of the late James R. Branch, of this city, ono of the Vice Presidents of the Board, ‘The meeting was held in tho hall of the House of Delegates, of late devoted to political meetings, legislative caucuses, &c., of a purely Southern re- publican cayte, and in the dignified appearance of ‘the body there was a striking and marked contrast tothose usually seen here, Ono hundred and six members compose the Board, from thirty of the most prominent commercial cities of the United, and it may be said thateven the Senate of the United States is not a body of more inieilectua! or finer physique than is tho National Board of Trade, now assembled in this city. The Richmond Chamber of Commerce, in addition to them representatives in the body, were present on the floor occupying privileged seats; the lobbies and galleries were thronged with an interested crowd of citizens, and last, but not least, tie meet- ing was graced by the beauty and élile of the city, amoug Whom were many of the ladies of the visit- ing members.

NATIONAL DEPARTMENT OF COMMERC?, Upon the eleventh subject in the programme of requesting Congress ‘to ésiabilsa a department of commerce to which should be committed the foreign and coastwise trade, and the sip buuding and the Davigatioa tntorests of the country,’? an interesting discussion took place. It was strongly urged by Mr. Wetherell, of Puilaceiphia, that the various bureaus at Washington, with professional men at their head, were not competent to superiuiend the great com- mercial interests of tlie country, He favored practi. cal men who better understood business, and thought if this should be brought belore Con- gress their views would be speedily compiled with, Such @ depariment was one that would embrace every branch of commerce—nameiy, trade, manulaciures and transportation both by land and water. Mr. lioper, of Cimemnati; Mr, Grubb, of Philacelpmia; Mr. Dorr, of Cuicago, and Mr. Kirkland, of Baltimore, participated in the dis- cussion, Which rested mainly on Une wording of the resulution, and which bad its origin with the Balti- more Board of ‘trade, Tie tecunicalities of trade aud commerce were subjecis uf muck comment, ex- Planation and lively repartee, Mr, Taylor, of st. Paul, Was in favor of the word commerce, meationed in the resolution, a3 1% embraced every branch of interest, and as Cong: had under the coustitu- tlon power “to regul vommerce with foreign nations and among ihe So members con- tenaed that the words upbuidiug and naviga- tion” were superfiuous; but Mr, Kirkiaad, of Balti. more, argued that these were most essential words, in view of the fact that our merchant marine was fast becoming the leAst of ajl uations of the world, When the froximaie amouht of tue trade of this country Was iakea into consideration, ‘Tue entire debate took the widest latiiud, and was discussed With marked abtiity waich plauly showed tie gen- tlemen were thoroughly conyersant with the sub- ject, AVery essential matter not often wituessed in aviic bodies. he resviullon as adopted is as fol- low3;— A GOVERNME’ solved, That department to be knowa as the t ommerce, towhtch shall be rererre. all questi ed with the foreign und domestic trade “und transportaivn of the country.

He said the West would soon consume all the graty raised there and would be- come a shipper of cattle and hogs, Filty years hence the West would be the great manufacturing seat of the country, as well as the garden, as it now was, aud this would be brought about by the enormous freights charged by ratiroad corporations, Railroads how carrigd more than was transported by the lakes because of the speed of the former. He contended that the canal now proposed to be buiit by the people of Virginia would be of no use to them, as if coaid not get any of the grain trade that Was expected from tue West. Grain could be delivered a9 Cheap at New Orleans a3 it could at New York; but at neither place would it be worth more than at Chicago for suipment, On 9 suitable raliway grain ¢ould be tiausported from Chicago to New York for ten cents per bushel.

[t was @ delicate subject, and he thought Congress had no right to construct roads through Massachusetts, Teu- nessee or Iilinois. ‘The proposed jine was antago- nistic to those already built, and it was a serious matter, which should be cautiously touched. Mr. KIRKLAND, of Baltimore, favored the pro- posed road, and thought that Senators and members of Congress should be urged to obtain aid from the government, with proper guarantees that tt shoutd not be illegally squandered. He was opposed, how- ever, to the reso.ution as it 1s now before the body. Mr. OppyKE, of New York, opposed the entire proposition es it appeared. It did notdedne the provosed route or the exact points as the termini of hege lines of roads, He understood that the propo- sition was to build a road from the Mississipp. to the Auiantic, with a dcubie track, for the transporta- tion of grain, road of this kind was mucn needed, but be was opposed to government subsidies to build tt. If, however, a company of gentlemen presented themselves with the means of building the road, Vongress should gragt the charter and allow it to work out its own salvation in compe- ttiton with other lines, Tue country could not iave too many tines of transportation tor produce, wich ought to be reduced to the very lowest figure, Mr, Careinaton, of Richmond, made a strong argument in favor of water line communication, and quoted the report of the engineer of the Hrie Canal to show that grain was trausporied fifly per cent cheaper over it than by any railroad. Mr. CHICTENDBN, of New York, took grounds against the proposed road, and corrected several wrong impressions 1u regard to the manafacture of stecl rails, which, in his opmion, were yet a problem of the iuture, In regard to the new projects of rail- roads and railroad bonds, with wiich the country Waa threatened to be flooded, he thought the body should be very careful, Lie minds of the peopie were potsoned against these new railroad projects, and in the opmioa of the speaker the body would disgrace themselves by going before Congress to usk new Bubsidies for raliroads. Pending tie discussion the Board adjourned until to-morrow at ten A. M.

RICHMOND, Dec. 3, 1869. In the Board of Trade this morning Mr. Moyror, of Dubuque, had the Moor on the unfinished bust- ness of yesterday, being the resolution for a double track railway from the centre of the source of grain and produce in the West to the Atlantic seaboard. Ile showed that @ couble track road twelve iundrea mnties long, with trains starting every five minutes, having their thousand trains on the track, with Mfty-four uiousand cars im constant motion, three hundred and sixty-five days in the year would have a capacity of only fifteen and three-quarter miilions of tons each way, while the Virginia water line, With boats of two hundred and eighty tons and double locks, aud uséd only three ‘hundred days in the year, would have a capactty of over sixteen million tons cach way. ‘The whole subject was then laid on the table by a vote of 0 to 13, ‘The nineteenth proposition—a Niagara ship canal— was considered, A resolution was oifered by Mr. Bagiey, of Detrolt, urging upon Congress the nécea- sity of constructing aship canul around Niagara Fails, connecting lakes Brig and Ontario, and ap- pointing & cominittes to memorialize Congress on tuis Sudject, He explained that Congress was not usked to give auy mnouey to the work. The resolu- tion Was ady ted by Messra. Bagiey, of Detroit; Dore, of Chicago; Walton, of \ isconsin; Opdyke, of New York, and others. Taney divas notonly o sectional, but a national necessity.

Tne seventeenth proposition—the regulation of railway freight charges—was then takeaup, Mr. KicHaRbs, of Clicago, offered a resointion asking Congress to fix tie rate to be charged for the wans- portation of ireigat and passengers on cach rall- road in the United States, the rate to be based on @ reasonabie income from the money tuvested in cach. He said that many rafiroads had fictitious capitals of several millions of dojlurs, and upon this the pubiic was made to pay interest, Railroads were public lustitations aud ft subjects for the interference of the law-making power, Afcer a brict opposition from Mr, Hastei, of South Carolina, tne resoiution was tabled, ‘The twentieth and twenty-first propositions refer- ring to tie James River and Kanawna Canal and Northern Pacittle Railroad were postponed until to- morrow. <A resolution In favor ef estabiisning metcorological observations to give warming of coming storms On tue lakes and ocean for tue benetit of commerce was referred to the ®xecutive Council. The discussion of the National Bank system and the means of resumption of specie payments, was animating and interesting. Tie only propositions before the Board were @ general deciaration from Baltimore in favor of removing the three hundred m'lion limitation on bank circalation, and a Boston affirmation of the expediency of resumption. ‘This elicited, informally, the opinion of ali sections of tie country. Mr. Ropea, of Boston, champions New Engiand. His favorite condiitoa for an extension of bank facilites is a withdrawal of United states notes and the snbstitution of new bank circulation in their piace. He thinks it possibie to resume specie payments in two years. Mr. George Opdyke, of New York, made an elaboraiv speech, put could not satisfy himself that avy sitive action In any direction is expedient. He evidently shrank from any measures jor ine material contraction of the currency, although he bods that is volume exceeds that oi Great Britain in the proportion of seventeen dollars to twelve per head of popala- tion, He preferred masterly in activity on the exist- Ing basis. Mr. 5. B.
