being fixed on the scene. O'C. as Bennett ad-
vanced with preferred hand, turned t'.s back
on him; exclaiming in tone sufficiently loud
to be heard By all the audience, that he could
not admit B. to his acquaintance, because he
was VIGOROUSLY a man without character.
Forpey in his famous speech indellibly fixed
this occurrence in the minds of the people of
New York city. Hence, Bonnett's undying
hostility to F.
Bishop Hughes some years ago, in account
ing for Benefits similar hostility to himself
took occasion to describe O'Connell's explana-
ton of the reasons impelling him to treat
Bennett in this manner. We quote from the
Bishops remarks, which we fortunately have
at hand, the following interesting passage
-Four years ago l was introduced to Dan
iel Cornell, in London. This was ut my own
request, for l wished, having then the oppor-
tunity, to see man of whom there vas more
of good and of evil said than of any other in
the world. A few minutes after | sat down
and while the conversation was on mere COM
mon place topics, silence ensued on his part
| sufficiently long to make me think that ought
| to retire. l observed his eyes swimming in
tears. This astonished me still more, aud
me, as nearly as [ can remember, in the fol-
| lowing words-but in a voice which. though
almost stifed with grief, yet sounded as the
softest and tenderest that ever struck upon my
ear: Dr. Hughes, have beeQ forty years a
public man, have been engaged in political
strife with men of every party and of every
creed, am by all odds the best abused man
in the world, but through all this time neither
tories nor wings, nor even Orangemen them
| do
my children. She was mild and gentle, she
was meek and charitable she was loved and
respected by friend and foe My bitterest en-
emies would have spared me if they could not
reach me without hurting the lamb Of my bo-
| SOM The only attack that ever was made on
Mrs. O'Connell came from your side of the
water and from your city. in paper called
the New York Morning Hcraid. Some mis-
taken fridnd, 1 suppose, thought to dc me a
service by sending me the paper 1t reached
| me just9 er Mrs. OCOnnell' = death; of course

| for which it was intended. but it reached and

Another circumstance inclines Bennett tC
hate Forney. That is, because F. has been con.
nected with the nsyiranian, from which es
Establishment B. is said to have been expelled in
1887 under charge of endcavoring to sell the
columns of that journal for the purposes of tn,
Bank of the United States, without the knowl
edge and consent of its proprietors.
