Srk—I thank you fc# the offer transmitted to me by your letter of this day, but do not ieel justified in profiting by it, my duty consisting merely in tak- ing the deposition of the crew of the lost vessel. 4 am, Sir, your obedient Feb, A. L. DE LE FOREST, Consul Général de France, A LETTER FROM MR. LLOYD PHOENIX, New York, April 16, 1874, Dear StR—In regard to the unhappy controversy which has taken place between the two companies Tam perfectly willing to submit to you what came tomy knowledge, letting it be understood that I QM Not a partisan of elther line. Leaving cut the story of the transierring of the passengers, &c., I will be from the time we came on board the Greece, and tell you simply what I saw in regard to the disputed points. I sought Mr, Mackenzie and Proposed that he should speak to Captain Thomas about making an inspection of the Europe beiore abandoning her to her fate, to see if there was not. some prospect of taking her into port, either by sailing, towing or otherwise. This Interview took place exactly in accordance with Mr, Mackenzie's Statement in his letter to the Tribune, published today. Captain Thomas said he would make the inspection, and the result is what isalready known. During the evening Captain Lemarie was on deck looking at the Europe through his glass. I heard him say, ‘She is sinking,” the remark bringing the passengers out from the smoking room. We lay by the Europe all night. The next morning Iturned out very carly and went on deck. The first boat to take the prize crew was in readiness. I did not see Captain Lemanie being repuised trom the boat, neither didI see him about the boats, although I do not say he was not there during the early morning. Isaw him walking up and down the quarter deck with his life preserver on, as ifin readiness for boat service. I did not hear the re- bs of his being repulsed from the boats until two jays aiter. Respecting the charge of drunkenness made against Captain Thomas, | can state that I saw no evidence whatever of the Captain being in such a state, In regard to the collision I will say that had the Greece gone ahead at full speed the moment her hawser was let go, and when Mr. Palmer sung out to that effect from aft, the acci- dent would not have occurred. I do not know whether the engine bell was rung in time or not, for I was standing aft by the wheelhouse. The officers and passengers of the Greece were ex- ceedingly kind to the rescued ones, and did every- thing to make them as comfortable as possible, You are at liberty to publish this if in any way it will tend to alleviate the charges arate am Thomas, Yours . LLOYD PHCENIX, | Mr. F. W. J. Hugst, Managing Agent National Steamers, 69 Broadway. MR, BURRIDGE'S DENIAL, BROOKLINE, Mass., Weduesday morning. DEAR CaPraIn THOMAS—I saw by the newspapers yesterday that I corroborated the charges made by the French officers. 1 beg to inform you that it 18 most false; on the contrary, I think Captain Lemarie’s letter to be one of the most unjust, un- manly, ungrateful statements I ever read inmy life. I regret to. be compelled to say this, but truth and justice demand it. I had, as you know, caeig sympathy aud respect for Captain Lemarie, ut his statement has destroyed all my sympathy | and respect. May I beg of you to read this letter to your purser, your doctor and your officers? ior I should be sorry to have them think that any one with | Angio Saxon biood in their veins could remain gllent when such childish, false statements were made. The kindness I recetved, from you down to the most humble servant on your ship, makes me grateful to you, one and all. Please accept my grateful thanks, Iam yours truly, L. & BURRIDGE. P. S—Mme. De Horrock and M. Hunewell, who came with me yesterday to Boston, agree with uae periectly in my above mentioned Te- | mar HEBOISM OF A SAILOR OF THE STEAMSHIP @BEECE. | To Toz Eprror or THE HERALD:— An extraordinary act of bravery connected with the rescue of passengers {rom the ill-fated French steamer Europe has thus far gone unheralded. Richard Roberts, a quartermaster on board the steamship Greece, while alongside the Europe, jumped overboard twice, at the peril of his own life, and each time rescued @ woman from drowning. Une slipped from the rope slings by which she was being lowered trom the Europe into the boat, the other had tumbled out of the boat. The brave seaman had his front teeth | knocked out alongside of the ship, lost portions of | his clothing, and finally was jammed between the ship and boat, which made him incapable of jurther exertion. only tropliy he now holds with price. @ life-preserver thrown to him by the rench captain on one of his overboard adven- tures, GEORGE B, ALMY, OBITUARY. Rev. Dr. Carlton. Rev. Dr. Thomas Carlton died at five o'clock yes- terday morning, at his residence in Elizabeth, N. J. ‘| On Saturday last he was attending to his duties as City Treasurer, but on Sunday he was taken ill, and for much of the time after was unconscious, His principal complaint was Bright's disease of the kidneys. Dr, Carlton was born near Lockport, Miagara county, N. Y., about 1807. He was re- ceived into the ministry at the session of the Genesee Methodist Episcopal Conference in 1829, and labored in that Conference for twenty- three years alter. During thirteen years of | this period ne officiate: as a pastor, for | three years as agent of the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. and for seven years as Presiding Eider. In ali these positions he was prominent and successful. He was an active trustee of the Wesleyan Seminary until his resignation from the Board, five or six years ago, and was also a trustee of the Syracuse University and of the Genesee College, beiug one of the founders of | the latter. He was first elected a delegate to the General Conference in 1848, and represented his own Conference in that body at every succeeding session. He was elected senior ook agent, in charge of the Methodist Book Concern, and treasurer of the Church Missionary Society in 1852, holding both positions until 1872, He was a mem- ber of the Board of Managers of the Missionary So- | clety at the time of his death. Although a democrat | in politics he was last year elected as treasurer of Elizabeth by his political opponents. Josiah Warren. Josiah Warren, the veteran reformer and the author of works on social science, died at Charles- town, Mass., at five o’clock last Tuesday afternoon. | “Mr. Warren,” says @ Boston paper, “is known as the discoverer and expounder of the new social doctrine recognized under the titles, ‘Cost the Limit of Price’ and the ‘Sovereignty of the Indi- vidual.’ About forty years ago Mr. Warren pub- Messrs, Hunter & Travers’ bay colt King Pin, by Lexington, dam Eitham Lass, (brother of King Fisher), has broken down. He gave way in both forelegs on Tuesday morning. Minor, the trainer, galloped him two miles, with his blankets on, at the rate of about a mile in two minutes and ten seconds, When “the boy who rode the colt stopped him he told Mr, Minor that some- thing was wrong. Minor noticed that the colt Pulled up lame, but dia not suppose that anything Serious had happened in the gallop. The next morning, however, it was discovered that the colt had broken down in both-forelegs, This 1s a serl- ous loss to Measrs. Hunter & Travers, as King Pin Was a most superior colt, and the offers of ten to one against him in the Withers and Belmont Stakes, were no sooner offered than taken by Mr. Hunter, who laid ag oe against $20,000 on King Pin’s bothevents, He was also backed against otnes vee i these events. in ns Ing Wagers Were booked yesterday on Sage wing aerate Baten tc es on es, and a like Amount at the same odds that he ‘does not win the Travers Stakes, woe New landers are taking deep interest in he t stallion race that 1s to take place over the Mystic Park track, near Boston, on the 15th of September next, Already the roprietor of the park is preparing elegant x stalls for tue recep- Uon of the horses which are expected to arrive.

The most extraordinary political revolution ever known in New Jersey was that on Tuesday last, when the democracy carried every position in Hudson county, as well as many districts in other counties which had been republican strongholds, In Jersey City, which had been gerrymandered bz ® corrupt republican Legislature, the democrats carried the Board of Aldermen and the Board of Education. The Board of Chosen Freeholders stands twenty-five democrats and four repub- licans. Mr. James Roche, freeholder from the First district, was elected by a majority of one, and Mr. Archibald White, democrat, was elected in the Third district, also by a majority of one. The republicans threaten to count both out to-day in the Board of Canvassers, but in sucha case the question will be brought into the Supreme Court. The majority of Mr. Traphagen, democrat, for Mayor, as far as ascertained, is 1,002, Under vhe new administration all the city officials who have played into the hands of the ring will be weeded out, while the County Physician and County Jailer will be furnished with tickets of leave. One of the main causes of the defeat of the republicans was the corruption of the Pavonia Club, which furnished such men as the defaulting Treasurer Hamilton to the city government. Hudson county is certain togive a large demo- cratic majority next fall, and this will insure a democratic Governor and a United States Senator. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PARKS, Nine Hundred Workmen To Be Dis- charged. The Commissioners of Public Parks have adopted @ resolution instructing the President to suspend such part of the working force as is now engaged in the various works of construction until an ad- ditional appropriation is made by the Legislature, This will insure the discharge at the end of the week of nearly 900 workmen, with about fit: ‘teams, now cbiefly employed on Riverside an Morningside parks. President Wales says that this action is rendered necessary by the fact that the fund applicable to the construction work of the department is now nearly exhausted. This is in consequence, he says, of the failure of the Leg- islature to provide tor raising the means to carry on the improvements, which, in the judgment of the Board. cannot be stopped without serious det- riment to the public interest, THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIO BUILDINGS. The quarterly report of the Superintendent of Buildings contains a long list of new structures now in progress and completed, costing over $100,000 each, among which are the church at Madison avenue and Twenty-ninth street, $110,000; Dry Dock Savings Bank, $400,000; Woman’s Hos- ital, $185,000; Colosseum, so ; Barnum’s Bippodrome, $200,000 5 Tribune Building, Brooks Brothers’ Building, $285,000; Dr. church, $400,000; a private dwelling, at Fifth av nue and Filty-seventh street, $150,000; French flat: Broadway, Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets, $350,000; a dwelling, East Forty-fourth street, east of Fifth avenue, $200,000; a dwelling, on Madison avenue and Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets, $250,000; Hudson Canal Company Building, $680,000, ‘The number of new buildings proposed for erection during eleven months was 1,077, and the estimated cost $16,118,365. THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIO WORKS, Commissioner Van Nort, of the Department of Public Works, has transmitted to the Board of Assessors the certificates of the cost of the follow- ing improvements, in order that the assessments therefor may be made :— Underground drains, between Sixty-second and Sixty third streets and Eighth and Ninth avenues $21,290 Receiving basin at northwest corner Fifty-first street and Bares Alin. 43, South streets ss a 497 Paying Sixty-niati street, trom ‘Third “to Filth niaes.. evs ee Oise cohen sa UA yOUh g Seveuty-tourth street, from Third to’ Fifth . . 14,722 CITY AND OOUNTY TREASUBY.

He then ciosea | the ‘Time Store,’ as it was called, and proceeded | to erect villas on the same principle. Misior- | tune seemed to attend this undertaking and but | artial successes were realized. However, the idea won eonverts in this country and England, and the attention of the late John Stuart Mill ‘was attracted to the new system. Mr. Mill, in his autobiography, in connection with the subject ot individuality, mentions Mr. Warren as a ‘remark- able American,’ and acknowledges his indebted- ness to him for the phrase the ‘Sovereignty of the Individual.’ The works published by Mr. Warren | are entitled ‘True Civilization.’ Mr. Warren died aged abou} sixty-four years,” ‘ Captain William B.

CORONERS’ CASES, Suicide by Taking Poison. Coroner Woltman yesterday afternoon was noti- fled to hold an inquest at No. 44 East Tenth street on the body of Anna Kopke, a German domestic, twenty years of age, who, about a week since, swallowed a quantity of oxalic acid with suicidal intent, death being the result. Dr. Thompson, living in the same street, gave a certificate of death, but, it being refused by the Board of Heaith, the case was referred to the Soroner for investigation. Fell from a Building.

Now let the President call to his aid such Cabinet advisers as tt is possible for him to select, dismissing all incompetent and discredited mem: bers, place his administration on an unequivocal “resumption” basis, and he will be sustained by the solid sense and strength of the Union to tho close of his Presidential career, The Scranton (Pa.)

If Congress now violates the pleaged faith of the government, if Congress can repeal or violate any law which pledges the gov- ernment cred, what safeguard is there that the government ‘credit will stay pledged? In fact, how can any plongée of the government credit be made unlees we adhere to the principle that, bein; made, it is inviolable? The truth 1s, the momen’ {t is acknowledged that the credit ef the govern- ment is at the mercy of Congress and altered or withdrawn or expauded at will, that moment the government will cease to have any credit, except such as may be forced and un- natural—a changeable, uncertain, illusive credit, without any fixed and definite value, The Baltimore Gazette has this to say: Disguise the measure as we may, it is one of ex- ansion. It violates the pledges repeatedly given y Congress, to pass laws looking to a speedy re- sumption of the currency in coin; tt embarrasses trade and commerce, launches us in anew sea of speculation, increases the price of all commodities and while the rich may profit by the cheapness of money, the poor will suffer from it, and the end of ‘all will be a sudden shaking of confidence, a panic and a crash. The Milwaukee Wisconsin says:— The large majority of the most thorough business men and financiers of the country are and have been ardently opposed to anything like inflation, and their emphatic protests against the ruinoug and dishonest policy of imcreasing the volume of our paper without faking one step toward its re- demption will have their full effect in time, in spite of all the hue and cry about capitalists dio tating the financtal policy of the country. The Troy Times thinks that— t was not the activity of the inflationists outside of Congress, the dilatoriness of the resumptionists nor tue influence of newspapers that led Senatora and Representatives to violate their pledges and sacrifice the honor of the nation in regard to thig question. The spirit of demagogism did the mis cbief. Most of the prominent inilationists in Con- Cen are fully conscious of the wrong they are joing, but nearly all of them come from constita- encies largely made oP, of a class of people whose appreciation of financial wisdom is pounded by the catchword of “more money.” To them anything is a dollar which nominally passes current as such, and they are as yet incapavle of understanding how it is that every additional issue of paper cur- rency reduces the value of the nbacks and national bank notes already in their possession and diminishes the purchasing power of theit earnings, It is to want of comprehension like thia that the paper money members of Congress appeal by their votes on questions aifecting the currency} upon the shoulders of such incapacity do they hope to be carried back into thetr seats, or, per- chance, to ascend still higher on the ladder of political prejerment. A day of pehepa ) will come, we trust, for these delinquent pledge breakers. The Boston News says:— It now rematns for the President to sign it, and then It becomes a law which will for ever fasten upon the country the stigma of a breach of fait! break up the republican party and produce, if no! civil war, no end of dissension and disaster. Wé stake our reputation as prophets upon the fulfil ment of the foregoing prediction to the very letter. The New Haven Journal says:— But if this bill becomes a law the worst of it tf that the expansionists will not stop there. Repu: diation, in all its naked ugliness, is what poy ard aiter. The permanent adoption of an absolutely irredeemable currency can lead to no other con clusion, The United States notes are promise! to pay in gold or silver.

The Good Work and Its Progress—Im- portant Cases To Be Tried Before the Excise Commissioners To-Day. The cause of temperance is progressing slowly | but steadily in the City of Churches, which boasta 3,000 Liquor shops and lager beer saloons. Mect ings of the Women’s Temperance Association aré held regularly, and each Sabnath evening wit nesses a number of visitations of prayer to the houses of recreant dealers in aicoholic and malt stimulants, President Jourdan, of the Police Com mission, stated the other day in conversation with a@ delegation of the Union League Temperance Band, that a beneficent influence was already ~ apparent in this campaign against strong drink, A few months ago it was not uncommon, he said, to have a buimmers’ battalion of as many ag 400 men and women marched from the several station houses to the court rooms of the civil and police justices of the city on Monday morning. Of late the number of intoxicated individuals picked up in thirty-six hours (from Saturday night until Monday morning) does not exceed, on an average, more than fifty persons. This he considered a wonderful falling off in the recruits of the ranks of intemperance, He also assured the League that | the Board of Excise wouid do all in their power to CURTAIL THE NUMBER OF LICENSES by revoking those which had been or may be vio- lated in the future. This intention the Board has determined upon carrying out in the spirit and the letter of the law at all bazards. ne Commissioners of Excise have no ra in the protestations of sincerit, of those deal. ers in beer and Bourbon who approach the raying bands with “tears in their eyes” and Beg ‘ot them to come to their saloons and pray on tue Sabbath day. They regard such repentant dis. pensers of the ardent as hy ites, whose sole ob- ject is to obtain a dead-nead notoriety, get a crowd in the house and reap @ pecuniary beneflt over the bar. These uncharitable opinions are based Eric lata which give coloring to the truth of tion. fate fas Feturied to business. On last Sunday evening the praying ladies visited four places on Fulton avenue upon invitation of the proprietors, ‘and, while they were praying In the sitting rooms with great spirit, a great quantity of spirits was being retailed over the bars to the thirsty souls who came there to see “how the thing worked.” Captain Joel Smith, ot the First precinct, had his detectives on the scene, and they have lodged 10r- COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE DELINQUENT DEALERS in strong drink. Six of the gin selling fraternity will be tried before Excise Commissioners Jour- dan, Jensen and Briggs, at Police Headquarters, | corner of Court and Livingston streets, to-day, and if found guilty their licenses will be’ summi rily revoked and tueir stores closed. The saloons ol three liquor dealers were closed in the Ninth recinct yesterday by the police, the proprietors having falied to come torward, though repeatedly tified to do 80, and renew their license.
