NEW ORLEANS. SUNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER Is, 1873

and has been exerting all his influence to get
Mr.. McCorkell to retire; and it is probable
that he will eventually be successful. Mr.. Nc
Corkeii has as yet given no sign Of yielding,
meath q load, he will probably yield at the last
moment. On Saturday evening-that is, after
tomorrow evening-all will 6e over, for the
polling is fixed for that day. =.
In Cork, there 10 almost certainty that the
nationalist candidate, Mr. Ronayns, will 10
triumphantly returned. Mr.. John DAILY, the
other Home Rule candidate, retired from the
contest on Saturday last, in order not to inn
otto course the hearty gratitude of all patriotic
Irishmen. But on Wednesday o Conservative
named PIN started. SO that there are still three
thew aud Mr. PIN. It is state d that MIR. Ma
thew has RECOMMENDED canvassing. and has
| secured the support of the Catholic Bishop
and the Catholic clergy; but although there
lieve they would rather vote for Mr.. Ronayne,
who il an old and respectable citizen, than for
| an untried young barrister from London and
therefore, now that Mr. DAILY has retired in
favor of Mr.. Ronayne, am inclined to predict
here that the latter gentleman will be trium-
phantly returned. The nomination for Cork
is to take place next Wednesday, and, if more
| than one person is nominated, the polling on
the Sd of December.
The call on behalf of the family of tho late
Mr.. Naguire is being generously responded to.
In Cork some $4,000 has already been collected,
political friends of the deceased, as Dr. Mac
Hale and Others, but also political opponents.
A score, at least, of English members of Par
Lament have sent munifcent sums. In this
city meeting was held on Monday last, in
the Mansion, as1sE the presidency o. the Lord
Mayor, to furthef the movement, and at it
| three hundred pounds were subscribed. Every
poor Mcguire. From this you may learn what
| manner Of man the late member from Cork
was in his private and personal relations.
Some time since, as l noticed in these letters
at the time, Father O'Keeife, of Callan, brought
| an action against the Education Board to re-
cover the salaries due to the teachers in the
Callan National School since he was dis missed
! from the managership of those institutions.
The Judge who tried the case-the Recorder eff
! this cty-dismissed the case on the ground
I that there had been no contract between the
teachers and the Board at all. Against this
| decision the Rev. gentleman appealed to one
| of the judges of the Superior courts-Mr. JUS
tice O'Brien. The appeal was heard this week,
and the decisions of the Recorder upheld with
self in the wrong box. The trial of his action
| against Cardinal Cullen, may here mention,
which was expected to come off next month, is
| likely to be postponed till after Christmas, in
consequence of the serious illness of one of his
| Eminence's most important witnesses, the Very
| Rev. Canon Forde, of this city. The leading
counsel in the ease are, for Father O'Keeffe,
Mr.. Bntt Q. c., and for bis Emin ence, Sergeant
Armstrong. 1t ought to be altogether the
| ether way. ~ -t-'N ..'.' .-.
| As a proof of the advance the cause of Home
Rule is making here now, l may just mention
| that nearly every where throughout the coun-
| try, but especially in Dublin, candidates for
| seats in our Municipal Councils think it abso-
| lutely necessary to declare for Hong Rule in
DIR. Kenn edy, who WINS lately q candidate for
Derry, and Withdrew from the contest to make
the way clear for the Attorney General, is just
about to receive, his reward. The crown peri

minent and eminent member of the medical
profession for tho time being, but they are this

s pontme nos in ADDITION This is the way We
Irish are corrupted by the British.
| The Nation, in series of very able editorial
| papers, is tearing Mr.. J. A. Froude's libels on
| The Irish to tatters, and showing up1n SPLEEN
| did style the past cruelties of England in Ire
land. Mr.. J. z. Prendergast, too, the author of
tho "Crom wellian Settlement of Ireland" is
| pitching into tho lying English historian in
I the same journal. His letters are especially
valuable in that the information they contain
| is perfectly novel aud obtained first hand, Mr..
| Prendergast being more familiar with the little
| known records of the past than Mr.. Froude
himself. One point made by the writer in the
Nation has struck me as particularly good.
| Froude has asserted that Ireland was treated
in the past too leuiently by Englaud-that if
i England exterminAted the Irish people COM
plstely, ireland would be loyal to-day. The
i writer in the Nation quotes plenty OF proof
that England did her very utmost to do this
lob and failed, and one of the prOofs is the
following sentence from Mr.. Froude's own His
tory of England, ain justice to the English
, soldiers. however" says MIR Froude, ~ it must
bc said tlrat it was no faut of theirs if any
, irish child of that generation was allowed tt
