The Nation and the Irishman mention an 1-,1
c
dent of which we may possibly by-and-by hear 61-
thing more. It is alleged that a few days ago tWO
men belonging to the Conservative party, waited on
Sullivan, one of the Irish press prisoners, and intimate: r
him that if he gave a guarantee that the tone of his P3r,,et,
—the Nation -would be " moderated" the Governwe-
" there was no doubt," would be prepared to giv::.
favourable consideration to the application for his rtie'-'.ll
Mr. Pigott, of the Irishman, was, it is stated, include,'
this proffered amnesty, the condition in each case beitts,
the same. The •Nation tells us that Mr. Sullivan "inliifj
nantly rejected the proposal," and adds that
~ p-iroats r
used" (this Is given in capitals), upon wureh the prisoeet
"scornfully defied the Government to do their wors."
is admitted that Mr. Sullivan's visitors declared that tbei
were not authorised by the Government to make the Prfci
posal ; but the Nation regards this as a mere quibble,,,,ila
assumes that neither of the two gentlemen " ever :ell),
have suggested what they did if they were not pel'e-
assured that they had the sanction of the Castle."
The largest income returned in Chicago for list
year is $202,306, by C. H. M'Cormick. The next larg`ro
is his brother's, J. L. M'Cormick, $lOO,OOO. The,r;e:oo,
nine others exceeding $50,000, sixty exceeding
ninety-seven exceeding $20,000, and 486 eVee" °

£he only mistake that the American jOilrna
, we
have made is in their spelling of Sir Henry de 13-°0 AT.,/acs
name. They added a " u," which it appears has n° the
there. Sir Henry acknowledges his investment iutbeit
Confederate Loan, maintains that many who wOte„,,,as"
denials to the papers were not quite clear about the a
action, and that he did not desert what he held t° beeti
just cause because it was the losing one. The
pa/1 J
papers, therefore, were more correct than the = -
Gazette.
