OUR IRISH LETTER.
DUBLIN, March 10, 1874.


J. In my last letter I gave an account of the
conference of the Irish Home Rule members
in the Dublin City Hall. must now add q
few words on the same subject. The resolu-
tions You will find in full in your exchanges,
but the substance I may state here briefly.
The members constitute themselves into an
Irish party Independent. alike of Wings and
Tories, for the purpose of furthering the ma
tional demand as formulated by the conference
4 in the Rotunda in November Last. Their go
tion on this and kindred matters will be de-
termined on according to circumstances, and
. it will be united the members always avoiding
isolated action and always taking counsel
with each other beforehand. Thirdly, nine
members of the party are appointed . Parlia-
mentary committee, the duties of which shall
be to watch the proceedings of Parliament for
the whole body, and to summon the whole
body together whenever their attendance in
the House Of Commons would be of moment to
Irish interests and the expenses are provided
for by subscription from each of the members.
Already, this committee have taken chambers
in London, near the Houses Of Parliament, and
have secured for the session the services of q
secretary. This means work, and have no
doubt that good work will be done.
This programme has been adopted by all the
Home. Ru1e members, except two. Forty-six
attended the conference and eight more have
eince signifed their adhesion. This makes
fty-four. Of the remaining three Mr.. Arthur
Moore, member for Clonmsl, may be regarded
rs certain to add his name, as he has become o
member of the Homo Rule League; the reason
of his not having done up to this being that
he is far away on the continent, and was ac-
tually IN Egypt when he was elected. The
pther two are Mr.. George Morris, senior mem
per for Galway city and the Hon. Wilfred
pCallaghan, junior member for Tipperary.
The former gave as distinct pledge in favor
pf Home Rule on the occasion of his election
As Gr, Butt himself could give; yet he neither
attended the conference (although he was &C.
ually in Dublin) nor sent an answer to the
circular conveniug it'll I am bound to say that
nything better was scarce expected OF that
person. BE is q brother of Judge Morris of
fhe Court of Common lP1eas, who has Dhown
himself 8 bad Catholic and an anti Irish Irish
pan on iunumerable occasions. As Q member
q the Board OF National Education, this indgs
has always been one of the great champions of
'he unfortunate Father O'Keeffe, and ON the
ccasion of The Galway Judgment scandal
eartily backed up Keogh. Add to this that
galway is rotten constituency or at least
perry badly educated politically. The Hon. Mr..
pcallaghan is humbug and sham HomeI
EULER, and would never have keen chosen by
ippcrary had another understandable Home
Ruler contested the seat in coDjunotion with
COL White. still, one would imagine that
pcing tho en- of a1Ord-Lism0re-Mr. O'CaI-
aghan might think himself bound in honor to
pot Pto the spirit of his very distinct pledge
IN favor of Home Rule. He may do so yet but
IT. Norris certainly viii not.
