NEWSPAPER REpoRTHRs. "A lawyer in the Louis
vile Police Court, having seid sorpe pretty hard
things about the reporters Of one Of the daily pa
pers in that city, the Journal takes occasion to de-
fend the gentlemen Of the press in the following
sensible remarks 49,
In gathering news, it is, of course, impossible
for reporter to have been an eyewitness Of every
event, and he must take the accounts that he gets
from others as the truth. He uses due diligence
to get all the particulars, and takes it for granted
that the news is correct. Hhis informant, either
from stupidity or malice, misleads him, we re-
spsctfuly suggest that it s not fair to accuse the
reporter Of garbling the facts Of the
case. At the best, it is q hard position. II he
speaks boldly, he ofends come one, 1f he speaks
ghardedly, some one accuses,him Of cowardice, or
Being bought up not to speak the whole truth. IF
he is sentimental, he is called q fool. II he speaks
in forcible Language, he is called blackguard. II
he writes gravely, he is called stupid II he is
witty, they accuse him Of trying to show of II he
is fancfli, they call him romancist, and say that
he is not reliable. II he confne himself to brief
mention, he is accused Of not having brains

Gladstone in Paris.

The Paris correspondent Of the London 1Sn.es
in the issue Of that journal OF the 28th ut., gives
brilliant account Of the reception of MIR. GLAD
STONE in Paris. The Hon. Ex-Chancellor OF the
Exchequer was on hisreturn from Italy and attended
the obsequies Of NJ. VICTOR COUSIN from the sor-
bonne, where the philosopher had resided tor
thirty years. to the ancient Church of st. Etenne-
du-Mont On Sunday, the 9th, Mr.; G. dined at
the Tuileries with the Emperor. On the day pre-
vious he was the guest of the Political Economy
Society. The dinner was given at the Grand Ho-
tel, and is reported to have been splendid affair
one hundred and twelve guests sittin. down to
table-among them number of the most dist'n-
euished men of France. When dinner was over,
M. PAssY, the President of the Society, proposed
the health of their distinguished guests, among
them Ga man of trancendent genius, who had rem
dered such signal services to his own country and
to mankind"
Mr. GLADSTONE rose, amid enthusiastic cheers,
and spoke for three-quarters of an hour, and,
although in English to q French audience, it is
said that the charm Of his voice and manner proved
superior to the barrier of the unknown tongue.
He modestly disclaimed any merit in the arrange
ment, during his administration Of the (French
and Englisi) treaty of commerce; said that the
credit of that measure was due to the Emperor
NAPOLEON and to MIR. Golden.
His allusion to MIR. Golden was most touching.
1t was received with burst Of applause.
Mr.. Gladstone fully admitted that England had
long sinned in the matter Of commercial freedom,
but she had since made amends; her repentance
for her errors was before the world, and she had
done much in. the way of satisfaction. There was
still, indeed, something to do, and that something
he hoped would be realized. Other nations, taught
by experience, would, he trusted, soon follow the
high example set them by France and England
The path of commercial freedom was like the path
of virtue; it was only the first steps that were DIFF
fcult, the last were the most easy. He had heard
people say that France had greatly proated by the
Treaty of Commerce with England; he sincerely
hoped the statement was true, and he assured his
hearers that he not only rejoiced at it, but he
offered them his most sincere congratulations
Engishmen were not Jealous of the good which
France derived from that treaty. for acts Like these
promoted good will among nations in place of the
animosity which in other times, and before they
came to know each other, prevailed between them.
They were the best guarantee for the perpetuation
Of good will, and eventually for the peace OF Eu-
rope.

A FENIAN PROCLAMATION.
INDEPENDENT AND NATIONAL RESOLVES OF THE 1RIsH
REPUBLICANS.

DVBLr, January %, 1867.
To AL Whom it May Concern!
In the present momentous Crisis OF Irish nation:
atty, when, in the eyes Of the world the question
of relands existence or total extinction as an In
dependent nation seems trembling in the balance,
we, the representatives Of the republican party in
Ireland, deem it our duty to make known to all
trrle sympathizers with our down-trodden race and
oppressed nationality that We have taken our final
stand on the high vantage ground OF selfrehance
that, taught by years OF bitter experience we no
longer base our hopes OF success upon the CO.
operation of our countrymen in America; and that
We repudiate once and forever, the degrading
doctrine that Irish liberty and Irish rights are not
to be won without assistance from foreip n-and ex
ternal sources. No longer shall we be dominated
shall the destinies Of our race hang upon the
strength or weakness Of O. single mind: Our lost
opportunities and blighted hopes proclaim, trum-
pet.tongued that the time for such tsudal admin
istration OF our affairs is past
From deep conviction of this truth we the re-
publican representatives of Ireland, formed, on
the 18th instant a Directory, with supreme con-
troll of the organization On the Oath inst. ave be-
came aware Of the action OF olr countrymen IN
America in the deposition of MIR. Stephens and
the election Of General Gleeson ID the vacant head
centreship. While viewing these matters with in
difference and as entirely unronpected with our
selves, we still trust that we retain the sympathy
of our expatriated countrymen, whereyor they are
| to be found. But not to thom alone 40 We appeal
for sympathy; when our struggle tor independence
hall be inaugurated, the world shall behold the
champions Of liberty OF eyery race and every ma
tionalty rallying round our banner OF rights,
Then, and not till then shall the soldier and the
patriot be recognized for his true worth, and the
sef.sufacient fool and intriguing coward forced to
wallow in the mire of his own infamy.
| Ere long shall tho world behold the spectacle o.
nation uprising in it's might, strong in it's self
confidence and conscious right, to win it's way te
it's legitimate place among the people OF the earth
or yet mid halo of blood and glory which shal
serve as lode-star Of liberty TO future ages and
succeeding generations. :,
Remembering always that fortune fayors the
brave and enterprising, however adverse she ma.
appear for a tno, We resolve to commit ourselves
to energetic and independent action as the oa
sednlously eschewing for the future all unnecessa
ry exposure OF ouf plans by public displays Of lip
patriotism.
Such being the sentiments which actuate us, W
shall enter fearlessly upon the course we hay
marked oat-and may God defend the right,
