oRY.FENIANfsM.
When the seat became again vacant the Hon. King
Harman offered himself as a candidate on Tory
Fenian principles, and he ably sustained by the
national press but the electors doubling the SINGER
ity OF his professions Of love for Ireland sci INN
aside, and elected on Friday last by large majority
| another son OF Lord Grevie IN his stead
BERNAL OSBORNE.
Tn Waterford the nationaiists made a very spirited
| fight against the facetous Bernai Osborne large
section OF the electors and all the non-eiectors
In favor OF Mr.. Smith, the national candidate. But
! the Englishman was successful. Mr.. Smith pleaded
his case with the greatest ability, and If lifelong
| adherence TO The cause OF nationality was
| worth anything, he undoubtedly deserved
| the seat Had he been successful. and
regret he IVA was - mot not Waterford would
would doubt not have done good service In Par
lament TO the Irish people. Mr.. Smith is man OF
great ability and experience, has lived IN both hefns-
pheres, suffered for his country more than twenty
years ago, ana naturally expected that his nnswery-
ing devotion TO tae gooa ola ea%se n would nave
Waterford. He was, too, believe, the
trusted friend and fellow Iaborer, in ls4s, OF
Waterford man. and who represented mis- native city
in Parliament. Still he was rejected by few
only, and the Engiishman was sent TO enliven the
! debates in st. Stephens with his jokes.
! ! am very far RON thinking that Mr.. Osborne Is
| unfit to represent Waterford. On the contrary,
kEnglishman he Is, he has shown for quarter Of
century IN Parliament real earnest disposition 70
remove Irish grievances In fact his votes on irish
questions were the cause Of his unpOpuiarty in Eng
land, and Of his rejection for English Constituencies
| lie Is man OF great influence OF immense wealth,
| Of ability and eloquence, and all these mental and
! material qualifications are, in my opinion, guided
by an honest heart and patriotic Intentions Like Mr..
Heron, Mr.. Osborne Is one OF that noble band OF
Irish representatives VINO nave though followers OF
| Mr. Gladstone, voted against the government when
passing tue measure Of coercion for Ireland
STILL SOUTH.
In Mallow also, the natl0nalists supported Major
Knox, the proprietor OF The iyash Times, though the
Major is tory OF the true blue" color He was re.
| time IN favor of Mr. Munster, liberal, and after
wards favor of Mr. Waters, q. c., brother.in-law
| OF the Lord Chancellor, VINO Is admitted
| on all hands to be the most popular gentle
man who ever filed that high position. In
vain the Major paraded, day after day,
the streets OF Mallow with a conservative gentle
! man on arm and o nationalist on the other IN
vain he spent his money In wholesale among the
| eectors in vain he sounded his own praises in his
own organ, the Irtsh Times; the constituency
would have him on any terms, and his opponents
were triumphant.
| FENIANIsM AND oRANGEIsM.
II there is one thing more than another likely to
bring the cause OF nationality In Ireland INTO con-

| aliss and the Orangemen. This Is, at best
| q mere mechanical union brought about by the
exigencies Of party for an unjust and unholy pur-
pose. No one Is fool enough to believe in the sincerity
| OF such union. Both parties take diametricaliy
| opposite views; both seek Numerically opposite
| ends: they hate and fear each other; still, in
order TO crush power formidable to
either they sink their differences and unite.
There Is no honest lrishman who would
not wish to all classes OF his countrymen united
In the bonds OF peace; but there lew having the
| interest of Ireland at heart who would sanction
| union such this. This Is not union for peace
but union Tor war and for dissension. II the ma
0nalsts wish to strengthen their cause they should
certainly have recourse other measures than an
unh0ly alliance Of this kind.
