Missions Among the French in New York, TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— The very remarkable letter, signed by Mr. David Cherpuliez, and entitled Missions Among the French in New York,” which appeared in the HERALD o} the 7th tnst., cannot have failed to pro- duce a widespread astonishment and regret among the French population of this city, and has caused no little pain tu those who are personally acquainted with the Rey. Emile Borel, and are conversant with the sacrifices he has made for the | Sparitual and temporal wellare of our French- | speaking people. Such @ communication should not be suffered to pass unanswered; though it is to be regretted that, however exalted and noble the character of a man may be, a reply,no matter how complete, to an attack made on him through the pubiic press, seldom, if ever, wholly | removes the injurious impression produced on the mind of the public, so apt is it to mistake assertion and innuendo lor proo., AS a member of the con- gregation of Mr. Borel, and in behait of the great work to which he has consecrated his lie, I teel assured that you wii) permit me to reply 4s briefly 48 possible to the letter in question. I make the request relying upon the desire always waniiesied Be yonx Joueuial to do equai and exact justice to 5 In the early part of last spring an appeal was made to the Christain people o1 New York by such distinguished clergymen as Thomas DeWitt | (lately betel sentor pastor oi the Collegiate Reiormed church; Siepnen H. tyng, Jr., rector of | the Church of the Holy Trinity; F, Deems, pas- | toroftne Church of the Strangers; 8S. E. Janes, Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church; T. M. | Ludiow, pastor o1 the Collegiate Keformed churcn; | E. A. Washburn, rector o1 Calvary church; Uyrus D. Foss, pastor of tue Metiiodist Episcopal St Paul’s = church; peony, W. Beecher, Plymouth church, Brooklyn; W. T. Sabine, rector of the Church of the Atunement: G. H. Hepwortn, pastor ot the Church ot the Disciples, and Theo- vore Irving, rector of St. John’s school, now as- sistant rector of the Church of the Holy ‘Irinity, 1m behalf of Mr. Borel and the enterprise to which he had been called by @ number o/ French and Swiss residents of this city, It is the sincerity of a clergyman thus esteemed by bis brother clergymen, irrespective of denomi- nation, and the usefulness of a work thus com- mended, that Mr. Chervuliez deems it proper to asperse in the opening paragraph of his letter by the tamiliar method ot disclaimer and hypothetical innuendo whicn allege notbing and insinuate everything. He says:—Now tar be it irom me to disparage such an undertaking as that which he (Mr. Borel) 1s engaged in. If 1t be conceived and | sincerely persevered in (or the glory of God and tne | weilare of our countrymen, I say, with all my heart, may the blessing of God tollow it. But if it be so, surely those engaged init would be the last to do injustice or mjury to@ similar work whicn bas been in progress im our midst lor many years. Hence tais communication,” If tae sole object of Mr. Cherbuliez were to call attention to the exist- ence of a work similar to that of Mr. Borel there would be no occasion to make the sincerity of Mr. Borel and the useluiness of his work a matter of | hypotuesis, The tact tbat he has gone out of his | way to do so indicates the animus of his letter, Mr, Cherouliez next states the alleged object of his letter—namely, to criticise the lollowing lan- guage contained in the apove appeal in behalf of Mr. Borel:—"Irhe Rey. Emile Borel is engaged in | aneffort to build up a tree Evangelical Church | among the more than 15,000 French people tn this | city.” Mr, Cherbuliez asks, Would not such a Statement naturally convey the impression that there nas been hitherto no tree Evangelical French church in New York? Are Mr. borel and r=) his irieuds unacquainted with the existence of | an such a church?’ By the term ‘friends’ thus | slightingly used Mr. Cierbuliez refers to the Rev. | Dr. DeWitt, Rev. Dr. Washburn, Rey. Henry Ward | Beecher, Bishop Janes and tne other clergymen who united in the appeal. He then gives a history othe French Presbyterian church, of which the | Rev. H. L. Grandliénard is the pastor. AS to Mr. Cherbullez’s criticism of the Janguage | above quoted, in that it naturally pouvere the | erroneous impression that there has been hitherto | no iree Evangelical French charch is this city, it | may be said tn the first place that 1t 1s impossible that the emment clergymen who used the lan- guage attempted to be criticized were ignorant of | the existence of the church of which the Rev. Mr. | Grandiiénard 1s pastor, or of the chureh, the pee 1 ol which was until very recently so ably filled by the lamented Rev. Dr. Verren, or of the church ‘The latter | two churches are free Evangelical Freuch | churches. In 80 using the language in question they intended simply its natural meaning, that Mr. Borel was striving to organize or establish a free Evangelical Prench ciurch in this city, where there are more than 16,000 French people. It is | hardly possible that the persons to whom the | appeal fs addressed could be led by its language to suppose that Mr, Borel was endeavoring Lo estab- | lish tne dirst Evangelical French church in this city, as they must be wware o! the so generally Known fact ibat there have been such churches in this city for the past twenty-five years. I do not | understand Mr. Cherbuliez to attribute to aay one | an intention to mislead, 11 by @ species of refined construction the words sion that there has been heretofore no tree kvan- gelical French church in this city, fi is appre- hended that, instead of rushing into print upon so portant a point, it would have been fairer | and more courteons to Mr. Borel and the clerzy- men who subscribed the appeal for Mr. Cherbuliez read the appeal in question, and thus‘en them | to correct tne infelicity of expression, if any | there be. Mr. Cherbuliez states that “Mr. Borel himself | Was at one time under engagement to become the pastor oi this church (that of Mr. Grandlénard) | aud withdrew for reasons which itis neither my business nor my desire to inquire into.” The facts are simply these. Some time ago Mr. Borel re- torate of that church. Tis invitation was lavorably entertained by him. When, however, a tormal call was sent im oe had ascertained in the mean- time that reasons existed which, in bis judgment, were sufficient to prevent his acceptance, and he accordingly sent & Written declination, Since that time Mr. Bore! has succeded in organizing upon a permanent basis the congregation which holds its | services in the chapel of Calvary church, on Foortia | avenue, between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets. Let me bnt sey, in conclusion, that to the estab- lishment of his church Mr. Borel has devoted all | years, It was in recoguition of tie zeal and per- | severance with which he had prosecuved bis labors that the appeal in bis behalf was made by the clergymen who subscribed it. For what Mr. Bore) jas accomplished and is now accomplishing he merits, not captions criticism, but the earnest | support and sympathy of the Christian public, and more especially of those whose mother tongue is ANDREW GILHOOLY, No, 411 West Twenty-first street, M, Rochefort and the Sandwich Islands. | To Tue Eprrok oF THE HERAL M.

Let those who ory our that a jree government is ® failure, ana that Protestant- istn is @ tatture, turn to the Sandwich Islands and ask, What ia it that has made these people what they are to-day? And then let them turn to France and Ireland and other countri¢s and ask, What is it that heeps or makes them what they are? The answer would come back, The want of the Bible— Wantor iree schouls—schools without pricstly in- fnence.

Dr. Vidaver. Previous to announcing his text yesterday morn- ing Dr. Vidaver made an appeal to the Congrega- tion Bnai Jeshurun in behalf of the Hebrew Free School Society. Pecuniary help is now needed to maintain taese schools, not only in their secular department, but in their religious also, and the | Doctor considered it the duty o! every Israelite in the city to help the cause of religious education in those schools, ‘The Doctor announced his text from Numbers xill., the account of the sending out of spies to search the land of Canaan, This, he said, as well a8 almost all the narrations of the sacrea ‘volume, is like holy shrines in which are deposited divine trutns. im tis narrative we find an explanation of our own Jand of promise. Every one of us has agiorious land of promise, and this holy land is nothing else than faith, tigion is the land flowing with milk and honey, a land of sweetness and full of blessings. When trouble overtakes us then religion drops its rest and peace into our | souls, It is like the oasis in the desert, like the water springs in the wilderness, or like the heal- ing tree whose leaves were thrown into the bitter waters of Marah, and they became pure and healthfal, Relgion is the only land of promise, the only land flowing with miik and honey, the only land of sweetness, Where a man can say that | the lines have fallen to him in pleasant places, and | where he has a goodly heritage. lt is to the soul What the mother’s milk is to the infant's body—th at whereon it leeds and lives and grows, and without wiich it sickens and dies, RELIGION IS THE MANNA, THR ANGELS’ FOOD, which God has given to man—the pure milk, witn- | therefor to the Secretary of War, to be presented | Ment providing that the Union Pacific Railroad CONGRESS. The Conference Committee’s Report on the Currency Bill Rejected in the House. A NEW COMMITTEE ORDERED. Seepeaconaionee The Senate Amendments to the Moiety Bill. SENATS, Wasitnoron, June 13, 187: In the Senate, after the presentation of a num- ber of petitions and remonstrances, apd their ref. erence to the proper committees, Mr. West, (rep.) of La, from the Committee on Transportation, | reported adversely On the House bill providing for the construction of the Fort St. Philip canal, and the committee was discharged from its further consideration, He also reported, from the same committee, an amendment to the River and Harbor Appropriation Bill, which prov.des jor tie appointment by the President of a board of engineers, to be composed of two from the army, two irom the coast survey and three irom civil life, wnich board shall make a survey of the mouth of the Mississippi River with | a view to determine the best method of obtaining | and maintaining @ depth of water sufficient for the purposes of commerce gither by a canal from said river to the waters of the Gull or by deepen- ing one or more of the natural outiets of said river, and said Board shail make a fulland detatled estimate and statement of the cost of each of said plans; and shall report the same, together with their opinion thereon, showing which of all sald plans they deem preferable, giving their reasons at the commencement of the second session of the Forty-third Congress. The amendment proposes | to appropriate $50,000, or so much thereo! ax may be necessary to delray the expenses of said sur- vev. Placed on the calendar. Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, from the Commit- tee on Finance, reported adversely on the bill to admut free of duty merchandise sunk tor two years and aiterwards recovered, and the committee was | discharged trom its furtuer consideration. He also reported adversely on the tlouse bill amendatory of the act of May 27, 1872, to provide for the abatement or repairment of taxes on ais- tilled spirits in bond destroyed by casuaity, ana the committee was discharged {from its further consideration, Mr. Wuiaut, (rep.) of Iowa, from the Judiciary Committee, callea up the House bill providing tor the collection of moneys due the United States trom te Pacific Railroad companies. Mr. ALLISON, (rep.) Of lowa, submitted an amend. company shall operate its entire line as a con- tinuous line, and providing a method by which suits brought against that road may be heard and determined. Mr. CONKLING, (rep.) of N. Y., said the amend- ment was not germane to the bill, being a question as to whether the terminus of the Union Pacific Railroad was in Nebraska or Iowa. He knew it was an important question, but thought it had | better be offered as an independent measure. Nr. ALLISON, of lowa, said that when suits were Drought against the Union Pacific Ratlroad in lowa and Nebraska, it was impossible to find the proper officers on whom to serve the process-—they were in Boston or somewhere else. He would, however, withdraw the amendment for the present and submit it to some other bill. ‘The amendment reported by the Judiciary Com- mittee was agreed to, and the bill was passed, THE CASE OF SENATOR MITCHELL. Mr. MoRTON, (rep.) of Ind., from the Committee on Privileges and Elections, reported back the several memorials. containing charges against Hon, John H. Mitchell, Senator from Oregon, .and asked that the committee be discharged irom a lurther consideration o1 the subject. ‘1t was sv ordered. Mr. MorToON said it afforded him great pleasure to state that the committee was unanimous in the opinion that the charges contained nothing sgaiust Mr. Mitchell requiring the action of the Senate. Aiter the consideration of bills reported by the Committee on Military Affairs, most of which had reference to the relief of certain oMcers and sol- diers, the Chair laia before the Senate the resolu- tion of the House disagreeing to tne report o1 the conference committee on the Finance bill, and | asking for a new conference. Mr. WRIGHT moved that the Senate insist upon its amendments and grant the conferenc Mr. EDMUNDS Moved that the Senate adhere to its amendments. He said he did not think any- thing conld be gained py any turther efforts of this kind, He wished to test the sense of the Senate to see if this namby-pambying with the House should be continued. He withdrew his motion to adhere gud moved that the subject be referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. SHERMAN said it would be rather unusual | to refuse the request of the House lor a new re‘er- ence. IM'the Senator from flowa (Mr- Wright) thought he conld be more successful with a con- ferenve than the preceding committee, he (Mr, Sherman) hoped it would be granted, The Mouse, | by a large majority, had asked tor a new confer- ence, and it would be rather unusual for +the Senate to reise, He wouid vote for the new con- ference, though he did not think anything would | resalt from it. Mr. EpMuNps sald the sooner this aubject should be disposed of the happier the people of the United | States would be, So long as Congress kept this | thing going like a crosacut Saw there wou.d be dis- | satisiaction, He thought the views of the two sides so widely opposed, and language was so In- adequate to express what either side wanted, that the sooner a clear cut be made the better it would be forall The oe question would be leit just where itis now, did the country would come to specie payment at the earliest practicable time. Ali the qualities that Moses gave of the promised land of Canaan we find here in our own land. He | declared that bread should not be eaten there tn | poverty; here we have it in abundance, and pov | erty ts almost unknown, Faith takes away from | poverty its sharpest sting, and the apparently | poor man becomes rich in faith and an heir | to this Kingdon. Another cuaracteristic of | that Jand was that its stones should be of irow. Here in our promised land may be found | stones of tron—rocks of ages. ‘these iron stones represent integrity, will-power. Where do we | tind these things? Not with the worldiing, whose mind is sWayed by caprice or humor and whose soul is tempted and deceived by the tongue of Nattery and deceit. Ni Bat we find in that trae land of taith and in_ the heart conse- crated to God, those 8 of firmness of will and integrity of character. Show me oue, said the preacher, who lives on this sacred soll of Pa es- tine, and I will show you where you can find stones of tron, David had no word in all his wriungs to eXpress our term civilization, and yet | he describes the true gentleman as one who takes not up a reproach against his neighbor, who does not slander or deceive his neighbor, Such a man dwells m_ the capital of this Holy Land, and rhe name Of that capital is Salem—peace. Such a man | is at peace With himself and with his God and with all meo. He has peace in his hon tn his basi- ness, wherever he goes, It was the wish of every ious Jew that he might die in Jernsalem. Let it our wish to die in tats heavenly land of prom- ise, in this city of the Most Higa, in Salem, the city of peace, the capital of faith. But il you want to possess this land and to gain an entrance into this citv yon must strive for it. Avd yet, if we sk Ourselves “Are we striving for it?’ we must give 4 negative answer.

And the Lord says He has nothing against such # precaution, Our spies are | sent outand the land 13 examined, and they come back laden with the rich and juscious fruit of that Jand, Virtue aud morality are (the ‘ruits of that land of taith, and who will dare it his voice against these? Noone, Hence the apies report that the land {8 good, but—and then doubt and unbelief Again stepsin to mar our joy and our peace. The land is good, but there are giants there and the cities are walled up to heaven, and the spies say we can’t gu up and possess the land, The Lord has promised it to us. He has brought us ont of bondage and bidden asgo up,and enter | the land; our spies have reported It a goodly land, and have shown as some of its fruits, but here the aiMculty ts thrown in our way. The Amalekites, the Canaanites and the Hittites are in the land; they are giants and we are small men; we can’t enter therein, Don't you know what people say in these days when tie claims of reiigion are pressed upon them? ‘They teil us that piety ia opposed to sociability; that if you become pious Israelites you will have to give up the triends and the enjoyments that you have bad for forty years. ‘The giants are there; tie cities are walled; RELIGION MUST BE SKPARATE from the world; we Cannot go in and possess it. Besides, the land will eat up the inhabitants; It will never do fur us young people especiaity to be- come religions. We will have to give up the traf | fic and the prodea of the Seventh day Sabbath, We | cannot doit. We cannot forego those fashionable sing that have boon the chief joy of our youth. No, no, this land is not designed for us. Lt 1s intended for giants, but it is toliy for us to think of going | there. Two ol the spies, howeveT, bring & differ. | ent report. Caleb and Joshua say we are wellable | to fre ‘2 and possess the land. Caleb means firm will, Every man can become a giant by the adop- tion of two little words, “I snail.” Keep the Sab- bath and be religious, and not ran with the mul tude to do evil. Where there isa firm will there is an-open way. But then cones Josiaa—‘“God 18 with as’ tf we walk in the righ* path.

The one of which he was a member had worked together for a week, yielding and con- lecring, but a bew committee might make some proposition which would be agreed to. Mr. EDMUNDS said he thought the two Houses of | Congress wider apart on this question than ever before, The Senate was under no obliration to confer with the House further on this subject.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, June 13, 1874, The proceedings opened amid great noise and contusion, many members striving to be recog- nized for the motions which they respectively wished to make, Mr. GARFIELD, (rep.) of Obio, in order to get out of the turmoil, moved that the House resolve itself into Committee of the Whole; but the Speaker | suggested that the House had already resolved itself into atter confusion, At last Mr. E. H. Roperrs, (rep.) of N. Y., from the Committee of Ways and Means, was recog- nized, and reported back the Senate amendments to the House bili repealing ali moteties, The House proceeded to vote on them without discussion. The material amendments which were concurred in were the following :—Appropriating $100,000 to mnake suitable compensation for information, &c. declaring that the settlement of duties shall be final and conclusive upon.the parties after the ex- viration of two years from the time ofentry, The Senate amendment fixed three years, bat the House amended it to two years. The amendment fixing the salaries of customs oflicers was amended, on motion of Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, by putting Puiladelpnia and Balti more in the same class with Boston and San Fran- cisco, and was amended, on the ommendation Ol the committee, by striking out all of it, except such as related to collectors, naval oficers and surveyors; but, on motion of Mr. Beck, of Ken- tucky, the whole amendment was struck out, An amendment providing that the public cart- age shall be subject to the regulation of the Secre- tary Of the ‘lreasury wus amended, on motion of Mr. Randall, by requiring it to be let to the lowest bidder aiter July, 1875, and was then agreed to. All the other material amendments to the bill were rejected, ‘The bill was then sent to a conference commit tee, and Messrs, E. H. Roberts, of New york; Mr. Sheldon, of Louisiana, and Mr. Wood, of New York, were appointed such conference committee on the part 01 the House, Mr. MAYNARD, (rep.) of Tenn., then, at noon, Made the comerence report on the Currency DAL. He proceeded (o explain the report, and to specily the changes between the bill as passed by the House and the substitute as reported back from the conlerence committee, the two material points betng—first, as to the proportion of legal tenders to be cancelied on the issue of more bank currency (it being now fixed at three-eighths) 5 and, second, as tothe time for the redemption of United States notes in gold or bonds (which is now fixed tor the 1st of January, 1878), These, he said, were concessions made in opposite directions. Mr. LAWRENCE, (rep.) 0: Ohio, asked Mr. May- nard whether he believed {t would be practicable ie creme specie payments on the 1st of January, 87! Mr. MAYNARD replied that it would be practica- bie to redeem United States notes, if not in specie, at least in bonds issued under the act of 1871. Mr. LAWKENCE—Of what advantage will that be to the public at large ? Mr. MAYNaRD—It will allow the holders of legal tender notes to purchase gold interest-beariag bonds, and then the Secretary of the Treasury can use these very notes for the purpose of calling in the outstanding debt bearing a high rate of inter- est. The effect of it will be to fund, in a lew years, the entire public debt at a low rate of interest, Mr. LAWRENCE—Is there not danger that that would be followed by arapid contraction of the currency ? Mr. MAYNARD—Not at all. Mr. CLYMER, (dem.) of Pa., a member of the con- ference committee who did not sign the report, made a speech stating the reasons for his dissent. He regarded the substitute as a transparent fraud, intended to allow the republican party to escape condemnation and to bridge over the coming elec- tion, His axiomatic financial principle was that the only standard of money was gold and silver. He would not favor further disgrace and mise! on the country by voting for the conference repo! Mr. KELLOGG, (rep.) of Conn., rose to ask Mr. Clymer a question, but was met with general cries of “Vote!”) “Vote!” from both sides of the House. Mr. Maynarp regretted the absence of Mr. Clymer’s name from the report, because it mignt seem to give a sectional character to the question of currency, but he hoped that the vote of the House would obliterate any such idea, The House then proceeded to vote on the report of the conference committee, and it was re- Jected—yeas 108, nays 146, . ‘The following is the vote in detail:— Yuas—Mesera: Albright, Averill, Barber.

An opportunity had been presented here for a redistribution of $46,000,000, and he appealed | to the Senators trom the West to accept that. Why waste the remaining six or seven days of this Session in & fruitiess discussion, This ‘question could not be settied by Congress, but must go be- fore the peopie, Ultimately tt would be reduced to a question of whether we should have @ sound currency or an irredeemabie paper currency. He lavored the motion of Mr. Edmunds to refer the | subject to the, Finance Committee, as he had no | hope for a good result irom a new conference committee. Mr. Scorr favored a new conference, and said he had not lost ail nope. There was a bill on the calendar to provide tor a redistribution of the cur- rency, witch could be taken up atany time, He did not think the country Was pledged to return to specie payment at me earliest practicable mo- ment. The pledge was to adopt measures to re- turn to specie payment, and the report perfected by the late Conterence Committee presented a measure m that direction, though it was not as good a one as he would like to have. He would vote for & hew conference so long as there was any hope of an agreement upon something, Mr. Moxron, thought it Was vhe duty of the Senate to grant the conrerence.
