8 “WE TRENCH REPUBLIC, “Henry Y.” Helps to Found the Demo- cratic System of Government. “SAFE” MEN ONLY ELECTED. A Royal Marriage and Possible Dynastic Results. How Russia May, Too, Influence or Control the Politics of France. Panis, Dec. 20, 1875, The Senatorial electious have so far confounded al) anticipations and have proved the most serious check Bitherto received by the government of Marshal Mac- Mabon, On Thursday, the 9th instant, but two Sen- tors were elected, both of whom were on the list of the Left. (on the 10th instant nineteen more were elected, sevenieen being the chosen of the Left, while only two owed their election to the Right. Tuese two wero Gencral Changarnier, whose election, as I informed you some time since, was certain, and General d’Aurelles de Paladines, a devout commander, who was wont to say his prayers before every battle, and won the only wictory—that of Coulm:ers—gained by the French army during the disastrous struggle with Germany. The re- mainder of the successful candidates, though raised to their present position by republican votes, are either conservatives or VERY MODERATE LIRERALS INDERD, the Duc d’ Audiffret-Pasquier being a legitimist who has despatred of the King’s cause, and M. Casimir Périer an Orleanist, with a plan of constitutional monarchy in bis pocket, but not quite seeing his way to putting M. le Comte do Puris on the throne—for the present, Aguin, officers like General Chanzy, also an ex-Orlean- (st, and Admirals Fourichon and Pothnan, can scarcely bo considered republicans of an enthusiastic type. M. Barthélomy St Hilaiare belioves firstly in M. Thiers, whose secretary he was, and next in the Republic ag \maginod by M. Thiers, For the rest he ig more occu- pied with commentaries on Aristotle than with French politics, and knows too much of the workings of ATHENIAN DEMOORACY not to be very cautious in adopting French caricatures of that famous social system. M. Ernest Picard is the most sincerely liberal of the new Conscript Fathers, but ho is a merry gentleman, of portly figure and genial aspect, liked by everybod$, and wholly free from the taut of Communism Such men as be will make admirable Senators, experienced men of the world, sceptical on the subject of popular cries, but knowing how to respect the will of the nation when it has once been emphat- feally declared. Indeod, the members .of the Left de- serve much credit for the wisdom and clear-sightedness they have displayed in the choice of the men who are to sit m THE CHAMBER OF CONTROL, for such is the French ideal of a Senate, The repub- licans, however, are a minority of the Assembly, and their triumph is chiofly due to that zealous friend of Liberal principles, the Comte de Chambord, In the hope of making it impossible for France to live without him as her king, he ordered the legitimists to do their best to prevent the peaceful consolidation of the Republic. His adherents obeyed too faithfully, and they havo | broken up by their votes the celebrated “majonty of tho 24th of May,” which was the hope and confidence ofthe Stock Exchange. Moneyed men are seriously alarmed at the dissolution of the alliance between the various sections of the conservative party; for they are a timid class, and ia the near advent of a republi- can Ministry to power they see only the prospect of a general conflagration, This alarm ts not reasonable, for the republicans can only be successful in an old monarchical country like France by the exercise of the ‘atmost prudence and moderation, In fact, all that they can really hope to vbtain, as their leaders know full well, is the name of republic and the exclusion of royal and imperial pretenders from the post of chicf magistrate, which they might make use of to further their own private ends, as did Louts Napoleon. THE ROYALISTS, It may here be observed that so far neither Prince Napoleon nor the Duc d’Aumale nor the Prince de Joinville have obtained a single vote in the Senatorial election, The Comte de Paris, of course, would not necept a place in that august body, as, albeithe is of too retiring a disposition to put forth his clams, he yet does not conceal from his intimate friends his belief that the oniy seat befitting the heir of Louis Philippe would be the throne of France. The Prince Imperial holds similar views regarding his own merits; but the other members of the two ex-<tynasties would be very glad to wear the gold embroidered swallow taile which will probably adorn the persous of French Senators, Only the French (who are a frivolous people) have bo- gun to forget the very existence of these princes, who are mostly dull and some of them not exactly models of honor and probity. THE DUC D'AUMALE enjoys a fair reputation asashrewd man of basiness and a respectable officer, who may safely be intrusted with the command of a division in time of peace. A select circle of admirers even consider him a profound politician ana a soldier capable of following in the steps | of Condé. The public, however, has been unable to discover any connection between the yicter of Rocroy and the Duc d’Anmale, unless it be in the circumstance that M. le Duc is believed to draw with landable punctnality the rents of the Condé estates. Still, con- sidering the great name he bears, the wealth he pos- Besses and tho instinct of homage to royal birth, which usually causes people to exalt princes of very average merit into heroes, it must be regarded as a sig- nificant sign of the times that nobody should appar- ently have thought of bestowing on the ablest of the Bourbons the highest honors which it is the gift ofa free nation to confer, ROYAL MARRIAGE GOSSIP, To console the “‘llustrious forgotten,” it is whis- pered that certain notabilities of courtly and diplomatic fenown have been asking themselves whether a mar- Tiago between the Duc d’Aumale and the Princess Thyra, of Denmark, might not lead to various happy results—difficult, perhaps, to the common mind to specify. The Duke is close upon fifty-four and a wid- ower; the Princess, a young lady of twenty-two sum- mera. A better mated could not therefore be devised— gccording to the notions prevalent on the Continent of Europe. The political consequences of snch an all\- ‘ance would uot at first sight seem to be very serious, Denmark deing scarcely a Power of the third rank, and Orleanism being at an extremely low ebb in Franca, ‘Tho Princess Thyra’s sister, however, it should be re- membered, is the wife of the Czarewiteh, who will ono Gay be sovereign of Russia, that is, no nominal poten tate; but the autocrat of $0,000,000, and the master of the second army in the world, in point of numerteal strength, Prince Alexander does not at all share in | his sire’s prediiection for things Germanic, and it is ‘well known at St Petersburg and Berlin tuat the bal- ‘ance of power will be vastly modified on the day when hhe comes to rule the Empire of Peter the Great, He is an affectionate husband, and his wife cordially detests | the spoilers of her father's house—the stern con- querors who will not, for any feminine entreaties, relax their hold upon the old appanage of the Danish crownj The Prince is, moreover, # Russian by sentiment and edacation, as well ag birth, and be has pat himself at the head of the national party in his coantry, whieh Jooks with anger and jealousy upon the legion of Ger- man officials, many of them {a the highest places, who enjoy the good things of Muscovy. ‘Russia for the ‘Bussians,” is their cry, which, being interpreted, means NO BALARIRS POR FORRIGNERS, Aho natives being gemeraily in want of salarics for themselves.

GAMBETTA AND HIS PRIENDS, | once at the head of affairs, would doubtless give a SeCret squeeze of the hand to Prince Bismarck and bis friends, It would be an understood thing between them that the past should be forgotten, or, pos sibly, that an arrangoment should be mado in regard to Belgium as a compensation for Alsace-Lorraine, On ‘the other hand, it must be remembered that Orleanism, prostrate for the moment, is by no means “played out”’ in the land of its birth. The Bourbons have their pros- pects as well as the liberals. The death of a pretender or an egregious blunder on the part of a republican Ministry might any day change the aspect of the politi- | cal horizon, Now the restoration of the monarchy in any shape would be equivalent to the ASCENDANCY OF THR CLERICAL PARTY, whose attitude would be one of watchful hostilty toward Germany. Russia would then find an ally she needs for the realization of her ambition, and it may well have occurred both to the Czarewitch and the Duc @’Aumale that a union between their respective fami- lies might strengthen the one and the other, Russian influence (under a new reign) would be freely exerted at Paris and Versailles in support of the Orleanist cause, | and Orleanism, {f successful, would be ready and eager to pay the debt in a manner profitable to itself, Nor must it be too lightly supposed that RUSSIAN INFLUENCE would count for nothing in French politics, Ameri- cans have never known what itis to have the repre- sentative of a powerful court intriguing in their midst to keep one set of men in office or to turn out another, If they had the distinguished foreigner in question would have speedily received a more than broad hint to take a sea voyage for the benefitof his health. But | im the Old World ambassadors have a recognized right | to meddle in the affairs of the countries where they | reside, and they make liberal use of their privilege. Even in England, as late as the reign of William IV., it was believed that Russian influence was traceable in she distribution of certain appointments. In France, only two years age, the German Ambassador was lend- ing all the weight of his master's authority to upset M, Thiers and put Marshal MacMahon in his place; though His Excellency’s action was disavowed by his chiet, it was not for his interference in the domestic concerns of another country that he was blamed, but for helping what Prince Bismarck considered the wrong side, The Prnssian Chancellor, in fact, was already shrewd enough to see that the republican and anti-clerical party was the natural ally of Germany. Should, then, the Due d’Aumalo become the near kins- man of the future Emperor of Russia, an event which is deemed of little importance at present, it may be the first link ina chain of consequences of which the end cannot be foreseen, The statement that the match was in contemplation has been duly contradicted, but it isa | habit with official personages to contradict a good many facts which, nevertheless, occasionally contrive to ac- complish themselves. BISMARCK’S REVENGE. [Berlin (Dee. 20) correspondence of London Telegraph.) The 1876 winter session of the German Parliament having proved a singularly unsatisfactory one alike to | Prince Bismarck, its own members and the country at | large, has come to a conclusion, and the Reichstag will not resume its labors until the third week in January. There can be no question that, for the first time since the reconstitution of Germany as an Empire, the Bismarck administration has suffered a real and SEVERE REVERSE, ‘What makes this disagreeable fact especially vexa- tious to the Chancellor is that the reverse has been in- flicted npon him by his political admirers and steadiest supporters, It may, perhaps, in some slight degree | mitigate his annoyance to know that the national liberals are quite as much put out about their victory as he is about his defeat One cannot help asking one’s self, “Why did he | | drive them into such a tight corner?” The most plausible answer to this query appears to be, in the | opinion of persons who are intimately acquainted with ig Highness, that he could not be broaght to believe in the possibility of the national liberals’ resistance to | his will being carried out to the extent of an adverse Parliamentary vote upon measures with which he was, in public — opinion, —_personaily identified,’ and which, indeed, he took the trouble to urge upon the acceptance of the House with peculiar carnesiness, and that, 80 long as they should make his statutes law by working the established con- stitutional machinery to that end, he cared very little what sort of reckoning they might be subsequently called to by their constituents, At the pinch, however, they failed to realize his expectations, and he finds himself in the unaccustomed predicament of being planté a DEFIANT UNDER DRVRAT.

[Penang (Nov. 19) correspondence of London Post.) Mr, Birch’s mutilated corpse was brought in from the jungle by a Buggise, and was buried on the 6th inst. atthe back of the Residency. On the following day (Sunday) a small force, in number about sixty men, Tiver with the intention of destroying a stockade which was known to exist, though its actual position had not been aszertained. ‘Proceeding in single file, which was the only mode of progress the nature of the jungle would permit, they came unexpectedly upon the stockades, from which the Malays at once opened a well directed fire. Captain Innes fell, ebot through the heart, The native police were useless. Some of the white troops assert that they were fred into by the Seikbs in the confusion. The other two ofMcers—Licutenants Booth and Elliott—were both badly wounded, Nothing was left but to order a ro- treat, which the men unwillingly effected with perfect order. A TERRIBLE REVENGE, The Malays at first made a stand, but the rockets and shells proved to much for them, and when the artillery, under Lieutenant Monckton, brought up their twelve- pounder and fired two shots, the Malays fled, carrying their dead and wounded. The resistance at the next two stockades was so slight as notto be deserving of the name, BURNING EVERY HOUSE along therr line of march, the troops proceeded toward Passir Sala, where the Maharajab Lila was supposed to be, the bonts also advancing along the river. A well- directed fire, but, luckily harmless, was commenced by the rebels, the boats replying with shells and rockets, of both of which the practice was admirable, THE RESISTANCE HERE WAS BRIER; The troops rushed forward with a cheer into the now deserted stockade, the blue jackets landing avout the same time, Asmall stockade surrounding the Maha- rajab Lila’s house was fired at by the artillery, and his hot also was bombarded. Looting and burning was then permitted, Moat of the bo had already been emptied by the Mr. Birch’s boats, papers and — personal were recaptured, Campony Gaja, where Datoo Taga lived, on the left bank of the river, was burned after a Slight brush with afew Malays, in which one of our party, Inspector Lagis, was badly wounded with a spear.

The trans-atlantic steamers arriving in port continue to report tremendously heavy weather in the North Atlantic Ocean, and some of them wear very disfigur- ing scars from their encounter with the terrific seas of the high latitudes. The Bremen steamer Neckar, Captain W. Willegerod, reached her dock at Hoboken at noon yesterday. She homoredly to admonish his victors that they have made a great mistake in vanquishing him, even tem- porarily.

To Tux Eprror oF tax Loxpon Tres :— Sm—Since the paragraph appeared in the Times of yesterday to the effect that arrangements had been made with Captain Allan Young to communicate with the entrance of Smith Sound next summer, In the hope of gaining some information of the Arctic Expeditiony numerous questions have been put to me as to the pro- if there is any cause for anxiety in regard to the expe- | dition If you will kindly publish the following brief | remarks they may afford the necessary mformation:— | Captain Nares appears to have written from Disco | that he shall direct his second in command, Captain | Stephenson, of the Discovery, to send a sledge party from his winter quarters in the spring of isto to point at the entrance of Smith a certain Sound with letwers, and possibly another party | im the autumn of the same year, Captain Allan | Young would theretore carry letters to this point in the summer of 1876, and bring away any he may find there. The Discovery's party arriving at the | entrance of Smith Sound in the spring will bring intel- | ligence of the proceedings of the expedition up to about the Ist of April, that is, of the position of the Dis covery’s winter quarters, and as to whether or not the Alert was able to proceed in advance of her. In the latter case we could not expect to hear any further ows of the Alert, unless she wintered a very short dis- tance fn sdvasce ‘of her consort, If Captain Stephenson sends an autumn to the | entrance of Smith Sound we may ipoastbiy heer the “4 salt of the Discovery's exploring parti for they may by that time bave returned to their ship, and ifthe travelling parties of the two ships had formed Janction in the early summer of 1876 we a | of Teceive late news of the Alert, | possibiy hear whether it is Captain Nares’ in- tention to return to England in the autumn of 1876. But it must be borne in mind that those two | communications of Captain Stephenson's must depend | very much on the position he has reached and wintered | ot in 1876, Ifhe has a high northern position | St the head of Smith Sound, it is very doubiful, to my | mind, whether Captain Nares would feel justified in | so materully decreasing bis force for advance | work by sending a party south with the mero a wou! object of letters. In such a case the pledges have to travel over about 800 miles of bad groand (as we know from the Ameri- ean explorers), and to retarn the same distance. Then, again, 40 autumn, or rather @ late summer party Volves s boat and is a still more diffieult undertaking. Therefore the depositing of letters at the entrance of Smith Sound in 1876 must depend entirely on the position the Discovery reaches.

On the following day sho entered the channel and encountered very heavy gales, rang- ing from the southwest to the northwest, accompanied by terrific squalls and confused cross seas. The ship made good progress, but was not at all comfortable Until she reached the Banks she had continuous heavy weather, and thence variable winds and some fog on the Georges. She saw bat two vessels on the voyago— one a French steamer and the other an Inman ship, neither showing signals. Chict Officer Dehle describes the early portion of the voyage as being exceedingly severe, but the Neckar made about her schedule time and shows no particular signs of the rough treatment she received from the waves. At the Watson wharves in Brooklyn a Hnranp re- porter found the new English steamship Neilie Martin, Captain Jackson, of about 1,700 tons, which had expe: rienced a very dangerous and eventfal voyage from Newcastle-on-Tyne to this port She bears many seri- ous wounds, and it is apparent that she had quite enough to do to safely pass through the dangers which encompassed her. A brief abstract of the log kept by Chief Officer John Williams wiil faintly suggest the rils she encountered and successfully overcame. The felhe Martin, an entirely new vessel, sailed from Newcastle on her maiden voyage De- comber 11. Sho was deeply laden and was practically on her trial trip. On Monday she cleared the Channel, with moderate weather. On the 13th she encountered a successien of heavy gales, ac- companied by occasional squalls of terrific force and a confused, heavy cross sea, the ship laboring heavily and shipping sens fore and af. Until Sunday the ship was at halfspeed, and at times running “dead slow,” heading to the seas, which came over her bows and swopt aft with tremendous force. On Tuesday, De- | cember 21, she encountered a perfect hurricane or re | volving Storm, the sea running mountains high, While laying to she was boarded by a tremendous sea over her bow, which started the to; % forecastle, and’ before recovered herself another sea came on board, sweeping clear aft, | and starting the engine room companion, twisting heavy | tron ladders like strings and starting boats in their cra- | dies; it barstin doors and flooded mess room and officers’ rooms. All the water casks on deck went adrift, the steam pipe covering was carried away anda general wreck effected fore and aft. On the 22d the storm con- tinued with the ‘t violence, and the ship was buried in water, ¢ after steering wheel was totally demolished and carried off; the ssloon skylight was started and an immense quantity of water went below. The skylight was then as well secured as possible by canvas and boards, and the water in the saloon was baled out with buckets, every one working for dear life. Fortunately the forward steering gear held out, else. these notes concerning . the Nellie Martin would probably never have been written, The ship was finally put to the southward, and ran into better weather, Up to soandings the weather was variable, with fogs, At noon Sunday the ship reached New York, after a passage of twenty-one days. She will be surveyed to-day, and will undergo extensive repairs before going on the Brazilian line, January 28. To make her troubles more serious, the pilot ran her into the dock and stove a big hole in her start bow, The offleers well of the seagoing qualities of the ship, and eve that if she was not well built she never would have reached port.

One of the most startling cases of breach of trust ever brought to light in this city is that of Charles R. Beckwith, the confidential clerk of B, T. Babbitt, the soap manufacturer of Washington street Early in the spring of 1868 Mr, Milton H. Thompson, . of Rochester, a nephew of Mr. Babbitt, came to New York ‘and called upon his uncle, He bad a very particular friend whom he wanted Mr. Babbitt to take into his employ. This friend was a young man of good educa- tion and was a most excellent penman. Mr. Thompson bad known him from his intancy, and was so confident of his honesty that he volunteered to go security for him to any amount. This young man’s name was Charics R. Beckwith, and on Mr. Thompson’s urgent solicitation and recommendation Mr. Babbitt was induced to engage him, although, as he remarked yes- terday, he did not like the man’s appearance. As s00n as Beckwith entered upon the duties of his position he evinced great ability and aptitude for the work assigned him, and by degrees the prejudice Mr. Babbitt had at first entertained against him became broken down, and finally disappeared. Beckwith appeared very attentive to business and the interest of his employer, so that in the course of afew months he had gained that gentle- man’s entire confidence, He was now given absolute control of the business during Mr. Babbitt’s absence, and, indeed, managed the affairs of the establishment pretty much as he chose at all times, for the proprietor was getting along in years and dia not feel altogther equal to the task of looking after matters as he had done formerly. The selling of goods, the buying of stock, and even the drawing of money from the bank was left to this brilliant young man, with what result the public is already partially acquainted. As stated in these col- ununs yesterday, the amount embezzled by Beckwith wii Not PALL SHORT OP $700,000, Tho accountants who have been’ going over the books and papers of the concern for months had unearthed fraudulent accounts and entries to the amount of half a million before the warrant was issued for the culprit’s arrest, Yesterday they discovered several additional entries, one of $23,000. In this case the firm entered on the books as having received this amount for goods sold state that they had no transactions whatever with Mr. Babbitt’s establishment, and aid not sell it a cent’s worth of goods, In one month Beckwith and his accomplice, for he bad an accomplice, embezzled $85,000, In 1871 ‘the receipts fell off to such an extent that Mr. Babbitt was compelled to sell $800,000 worth of government securities to enable him to carry on the business. As above stated, Beckwith had an accomplice. His name is Thomas R. Lewis, There is another party who is also charged with having had a finger in the pie. For reasons best known to themselves these two gen- tlemen are now spending a few months on the Conti- nent, Lewis entered Mr. Babbitt’s employ in Novet ber, 1868, as an expert tor the purpose of investigating the’accounts of Beckwith’s predecessor, a man who held the post of confidential clerk to Mr. Babbitt for a period of thirteen years and then re- tired batiodenpticeity rich. ndeed so well had he prospered in worldly affairs that he could afford to and did refuse $25,000 salary a year to continue. Mr. Lewis was to investigate this gentleman’s manner of doing business, and, in view of recent developments, it 18 safe to infer that while investigating it he learned it weil, Mr, Babbitt bas in his possession an intercepted letter from Boeekwith to Lewis in which the writer telis his former coadjutor that ho is of the opinion that be (Lewis) made more money than he did and that he does not believe the “divide” was a fair one ‘“Re- member, too,’’ he adds, “that while you are in Europe, having a free and easy time, 1am still here, treading ‘on bombshells and torpedoes, which MAY EXPLODE AT ANY MOMENT, ’? Yesterday forenoon Beckwith was taken to the Tombs Police Court and arraigned before Justice Bixby. He was accompanied by his counsel, ex-Judge Fullerton, and looked perfectly cool aud composed. Mr. Babbitt was present at the time, but had nothing to say to his wily ‘friend’? and former confidant. The affidavit upon which the prisoner was held without bail sets forth three specific charges: First—That on the 15th of March, 1871, he embezzled from his employer, the aforesaid Mr. Babbitt, the sum ot $3,182 40, by filling out a check payable to C. R. Beckwith, and bonne, | the same to be drawn from the Metropolitan Bank. It is alleged that be covered this fraud by charging the amount to Frazer, Meyer & Co., fora bill of tailow delivered, Second—On the 27th of June, 1872, the prisoner filled up a check for $11,656 55 on the same vank, pay- able to and indorsed by himself, which sum he drew and appropriated to his own use. Third—In a bill purporting to be paid to one Robert Wellwood in November, 1872 By an erasure of figures the defendant is alleged to have so contrived it as to appropriate $516 88 to his own use. udge Fullerton said he was not prepared to go on with the case, and, after consulting with Judge Bixby for a while, an examination was set down to take place on Wednesday next A BOLD SMUGGLER CAUGHT, W.

In the whole history of frauds on the rev- enue there is perbaps no man who carried on frauds with greater impunity. The total amount of bis frauds is estimated by competent authority at $500,000, He is a man of great natural talent and considerable reading. He was formerly a clerk in the house of Hoyt, ue & Co., avd his intelligence was greatly admires le prides himself on being an excellent revenue lawyer. On one occasion he obtained $25,000 from Drexel, or anere in bogus collaterals. He ‘was arrested in 1871, but when tried the government lost its case, but, m 1874, when again arrested, he jumped his bail. CURIOUS HISTORY OF HIS CAPTURE. Mr. Clark, of Collector Arthur’s office, tells the fol- lowing story of his three ee m the matter of Pollock's capture:—‘‘ Last ‘ednesday Collector Arthur said to me, ‘ District Attorney Bliss has asked me to excuse you for some days,as 1 hear that you know how to find W. J. Pollock, smuggler.’ 1 re- plied that I would do my best fn the matter. The first thing I did was to obtain the service of three boys, whom I set to watch Mrs. Pollock at the Stevens House, and another boy to watch a nephew of her's who has been living in the same house, but whose home is at No, 48 East Seventy-ninth street. My boys were thus, you see, all at the Stevens House. I was stationed at the Hoffman House, At haif-past one o'clock Thorsday anol Ga of my boys started after the nephew and followed him on foot to his home, 1 intormed District Attorney Bliss of this movement of the nephew, who sent ity United States marshals to wait round the house. Meanwhile, Mrs. Stevens, to whom Pollock owes $2,000 forrentand Doard, had’ pat the Sherif im charge of the furniture, but the deputy sheriff in chi allowed the costly furniture to be remov Mrs. Stevens now holds the Sheriff responsible for this loss, It waa removed on Friday night, but a boy of mine followed it to a house belonging to Pollock, adjoining the chemical works at Greenpoint, which also belong to Pollock, and are situated about three miles from the ferry. The boy then found that Poliock and his wife were living there, On Sunday evening Deputy Marshal Croly captured Pollock while waiking in the rain with his wife and friend, and locked him up in Ludlow Street Jail. I hi ince ascertained, ’’ said Clark, “that Pollock paid a visit a fortnight ago to his lawyers, Messrs. Clark, Stanley & Brown, No. 16 Wail street. Last week 1 met Mr. Lewis, a Custom House broker for Lord & Taylor, who told mi lace where I could probably meet Pollock, but he bad left when I got there. However, my boys have worked well, and tay develop into first rate detectives.” Officers have been searching for Pollock in Cuba and Canada during the past year in vain. He was to have been brought before United States Commissioner Shields yesterday, but his arraignment and examina- tion were postponed till to-day.

SECOND LETTER TO BISHOP HENDRICKSEN FROM THE AFFLICTED FATHER—WIDE DIVERGENCE OF PATHER GRACE'S STATEMENT FROM THE AFFIDAVIT OF HIS PARISHIONER—WHICH 18 THE TRUTH? Newporr, R. 1, Jan. 3, 1876. Manuel De Fray, feeling that Bishop Hendricksen did not fully comprehend his appeal to him recently in tho burial of his child, has addressed him upon the subject, and the following is a copy of the letter:— Most Reverexp Sin:—I thank, bat bao poh xD Siz your ness in answering. my letter, fori 1 had not recelved it my daughter would never add the ‘of ® Catholic jal.

ALONGSHORE. THE PROPOSED STRIKE OF THE SHIPWRIGHTS AND CALKERS GIVEN OVER. On New Year's Day an advertisement was inserted in some of the papers signed by a score of firms connected with the dry dock interest, announcing that after the lst of January the wages of employés would be reduced from $4 to $3 50 per day. The reason assigned for this measure was the stag- nation of business which resulted from the inability to compete with Jersey City, Red Hook and City Island. This reduction was to go into effect at once, and the Pre aa bone trusted that their workmen would appre- ciate their position in the matter and give their appro- bation to the measure. Yesterday morning the hands assembled as usual at the docks, but when summoned to begin work they re- fused and scattered about in knots and clusters to dis- cuss the situation. No bad feeling, however, was mani- fest every one seeming inclined to consider the matter coolly and decide all future action as the merits of the employers’ pro) dictated, At two o'clock 'P. M. the caikers held a meeting at Botanic Hall, in East Broadway, near Market street, ‘There was a large attendance, and considerable feeling was evinced. The proposition of the employers was discussed, and after considerable debate, during which objections were made to the legality of calling the meeting, it was determined to defer any specific action till the reg- ular convention, on Wednesday next. At Standard Hall the ship carpenters assembled in large numbers to discuss the situation. Some were opposed to making any compromise with the bosses, but the majority scemed to entertain the opinion that a fair opportunity snould be offered them to prove their claims of being able to advance shipbuilding in New York ifflower labor rates were introduced, and so it was agreed to accept the conditions offered of $3 50 per day, with the prospect of more work in future, RAPID TRANSIT. The Greenwich Street Elevated Road has placed a new dummy and three new cars upon thetrroad The switches are nearly finished at the Battery and Thirty- fourth street, and it is expected the road will be oj to Sixty-first street by next week.
