PHOGRE6S OF THE HOME RULE H0vEArNT.
The meeting Of the Home Government
Association, which was held on Tuesday In
the rooms in Great Brunswick street, must
convince every one that the movement in
augurated by that body is rapidly going
forward to success. The Lord Mayor elect,
Alderman Durdin, presided, and amongst
the speake3A were Mr.. Butt, and Mr.. P. j.
Smythe. D6me fourteen or fifteen new
members we're admitted, amongst them
beieir George Bowyer, Bart, Mr.. j. F.
Mae fe, Sir Peter TAFT, Mr.. Michael Ryan,
Brure; Mr.. Rowland Blennerhassett, MrN
bolster, and other gentlemen, whose social
position entities their accession to the Home
Rule ranks to be considered very important
indeed. We need hardly say that the great
est harmony and entf usiasm characterized
the proceedings from beginning to end.
Each one, moreover, seemed to be impress
ed with stern DISCRIMINATION to perseveres
10 the agitation set On foot by the Associa-
sl6n, and with a firm confdeReo that his
effodes would DO crowned W success.
The chief feature of tho NEE Awas, of.

reST on their oars. We learn that the Ex-
ecutive Cod6cil appointed by them to de-
| termine what steps should be taken in fur
| therance of the movement, met for the first
time on Monday evening, when some gra
| tifying announcements were made and q
| wise and practical conrse of action resolved
on. "Letters were read from several we'll
| known public men in England and Ireland,
approving the objects and aims of the
| movement, and enclosing subscriptions"
| Arrangements were then made for properly
organizing the various branches Of the
Home Rule Association that have been
formed and are in course Of formation in
London, and tor extending the movement
| to Liverpool, Manchester, and other provin-
| cial towns of England. Finally, it was
decided to hold great public meeting on
Monday next. In the course of the discus
sion which took place, the Chairman, Mr.
O'Leary, gave his fellow-countrymen in
| England, who have votes, the advice to
| vote, for tho future, not for Wings or
| Tories, but for advocates of Home Rule

PHOENIX PARK OUTRAGE.
Our readers will be glad to learn that
the first steps in the prosecution of the
| police concerned in the brutal outrage in
the Phoenix Park on the 9th of August
have been taken this week. On Monday
| last application was made, at che Southern
Divisional Police Court in this city, on be-
half of several persons, for summonses
against some individual policemen for
:. grievous assault" The magistrate on
| this occasion refused to issue the summons
es, on the ground that there were no pre-
liminary informations. On Tuesday the
applications were renewed, and the requir-
ed informations produced; whereupon the
magistrate issued the sumnsonses, and ap-
| pointed this day for hearing the cases. We
| understand that other criminal prosecutions
are about to be instituted, and that civil nc ;
| lions are about to be taken against certain
members of the Executive Government.
This is as it should be. 1t would be mon
strous if SO gross an outrage on public
! liberty, aud, indeed, on the lives of the
people, should be allowed to pass out of
| recollection without every effort being
made to bring the perpetrators to Justice

IRELAND AND THE INTERNATIONAL.
The mysterious international Associa-
ton is reported to have turned it's atten-
ton to Ireland with view of establishing
itself in the shape of branch societies. The
chiefs, by way of conciliating the Irish peo-
pile, who are not likely to look with favor
upon their social or political theories, have
taken up the Home Rule movement. At
recent conclave, held in some obscure
quarter OF London, resolution was passed
declaring that the association sympatllizes
with the affects desired by Ireland, and
considers it the duty of the people" to
aid the Home Rule movement by every
means in their power. At the same meet
ing We are told Mr.. J. p. Mcdonnell was
elected " Secretary for Ireland" The
Chairman was Herr kaEl Marx, u gentle
man who, while presiding at the recent
Congress of the Association in London, is
said to have declared Mazzini unfit to take
the lead in the social revolution on account
of his having the weakness y to believe
in God. The International counts Us, 900
members in England.
