LECTURE Ey JOHN Mitchell AT THE COOPER
UNION LAST NIGHT-nIs OPINION OF TIE
HOME RULE MOVEMENT. .,t :.
Last night the large hall of the Cooper
Union was filled by al enthusiastic Irish
audience, assembled to hear John Mitchell
detail, in lecture, bis experiences in Ireland
during his last visit. When the chairman Of
the lecture committee OF the Clan-na-Gsel
appeared on the platform leading Dir. Mitchell
deafening cheers went up. John Mitchell,
the mere shadow Of his former self, began
with word Of thanks for the ovation
rendered He then proceeded to tell
how he had landed in Ireland, how
he passed through the country from
QueenstoG vi to Belfast, and Of what he saw
in his travels. He spoke about "home
rule" and the men who are its representa-
tiyes. He said in substance: "Before pro-
coed to tell you what l think about home
rule will say q few words about the men
| who are its champions. First, MIR. John
| Martin is known to you as he is to meas a
| man of integrity Of purpose and honest
heart. MIR. Rowan, of Cork, to my knowl.
| edge, is one of the best Irishmen and bravest
| gentlemen in Ireland, as are also Professor
| Galbreth, an old tutor Of mine at Trinity
College, Dublin, and Mr.. P. J. Smythe, who
stood by me in one Of the most trying mo.
ments of my life. These men and Others
worthy of the association 60 to make up the
home-rule party as representative body
and while I concede to them all that is their
need, i must beg leave to differ from them In
opinion. The home rulers go to Westmln-
| ster, and at the feet Of the English Parlia-
ment beg for the privileges afforded to men
in Scotland and England. The fact OF their
| having anything to do with the deliberations
| Of the English Parliament leave them open
| to an English sophism, which is proposed IN
| this way Ireland has representation in Par
| lament, and when Parliament passes laws
she cries that she was not consulted, when
her representatives were there to see what
was going on. Ii this imputation is to be re-
| moved the advice Of O'Connell, to refuse 10
deliberate in Parliament, must be carried
into effect. Let the Irish members go to Ire
landb or, rather, not leave it, and consult
with themselves, and not with their enc
mics, as to what is best for their coun.
try, 1t is the proposition Of the home
rulers to obtain the establishment laS Will
be seen from their articles Of orgapiza-
| tion) of sort of congress at home to decide
questions of local or home interest. When
they tell this to Disraeii he will naturally
say, who is to decide as to what questions
are local and what rationale Then they
| want an extension of the election franchise,
but the Government says tNo, you cannot
have that, for if we accede to your demand
we will have ninety instead of sixty home:
rulers in the next session of Parliament
They want to raise volunteers to defend
their country, With, but England will say
| within herself, Ireland has no enemy but
US, so she does not need to defend herself
we'll defend her." The speaker was greeted
with applause at several points.-Ne0 York

November y, 1874.
III, dull mono;ony of this quiet and grow
-, y,r'lr, was broken several days ago by
s,rnu,ull occurrence. The circumstance;
.-e = follows: Mr. Charles D. Mckinney
merchant, an! resident OF this place, or
fsred one OF his laborers TO haul some wood
and upon his reiu>a! 70 do so, and becoming
ry,.rrrated at the nesro'S impudence, pro-
,,.,drl 10 administer several blows upon the
yoo,t bead O: the offensive darby, and the
.,j3 duhy resented such treatment rs best
'rrame, a freeman of coler, and exercised
tb,. right o. selt-defence in SO successful
manner that the aggressor thought prudenl
- :r,i,r. Mckinney then obtained form
O: warrant for the arrest OF the negro for rs.
saul, and battery, which warrant was signed
hyD.F. ElZwuler in John B. Gary's 81. T.,
n.,nr. Floyd L. Kidd, acting as special con-
stable made the arrest on the same night
,A1u. : o'clock. The warrant for the De-
.ro's arrc,, Was not written by Gary the
l,ticrI. neither did he sign the warrant, nor
did he appoint the constable.
l. is questionable whether justice Of the
peace can delegate the power TO sign bis
name 10 a warrant in this manner. Soon
after The arrest was made posse of armed
u":roc, came 10 the store and demanded the
release Of the prisoner Davy JoDe>), as they
were told that the arrest was illegal, DC
They immediately complied with their de-
m4ud and released him. Soon after bis re.
r4,r the negro man got q warrant from John
J. Morgan, 4 justice Of the peace. Bennett,
Anderson. constable, made the arrest the
next dly. Both parties, understand, have
tcen bound over TO keep the peace.
Another iracas occurred between two
c.rIen,ers in the employment OF Dir. Charlie:
q. Hooper, in which one OF them had bis
elT sliced OF with an axe, and the blow wa
struck with such force that the instrumen
made considerable cash in his shoulder
The doctors in attendance think his recov
tri very doubtful.
This place, once so renowned as th'
home Of Peter Francisco, is becoming sadl!

4 Very iiteratc citizen of the village, who
don't read the Dispatch, was told in Jocose
manner by gentleman that since the Demo

formerly owned slaves were going to receive
500 for them. He took tilly.dollar not
IRON his pocket and offered it TO her for
negro boy she formerly owned, but she posi-
