NEW YORK, Augut2. The following
is from a special TO the New York Her-
aid bearing yesterdays date:
The OConnell Centonnary dem0nstra-
ton is assuming an unexpected po-
litical and diplomatic significance emr
barrassing to the Liberals, Home rulers
and the Government.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin, suppos-
ed 60 be, al the instigation Of the willy
Cardinal Cnllen, pure churchman
caring nothing for the memory of
OConnell, has given the ailair an ul-
character, offensive alike
to the Irish and English, the Liberals,
the Protestant noblemen, the Home
rulers and the Fenians. The invita-
tons were mainly extended to Catho-
lie iaymen and the Bishops of Eng
land, France and Germany, which has
drawn an indignant protest from one
of the Irish peers, who claims that the
Lord Mayor is unauthorized to use his
Office for purely Catholic purpose.
The Home rulers ana the Fenians
will probably have an independent
celebration, in honor Of the liberator.
They cannot cooperate in an ultra
montana movement, without endang-
ering the liberal alliance and aliena-
ting the professionals who sympathlse
with home-rue principles.
Sir Henry James, Sir William Ha-
lyon anu obIitl NlNuuNNu lIlbclulNI Sbi-
rowfully oppose the demonstration, al
though admirers of 0'Connell's. They
don't want to identify themselves with
an Embellishments demonstration, hs-
cause if the Lord Mayor expressed SYM
pathy with the bishops, it will give
Bismarck u chance to complain that
the English are openly sympathislng
with the government, hostile TO Ger
man unity.
The Times, in its obituary article on
Andrew Johnson, says his career illus-
trates both strong and weak points
of American social and political sys-
tens. During his term of Office he
showed himself wanting in TACT re-
finemcnt and knowledge of men, yet
he had some qualities which are not
so abundant in American politics as TO
be despsed when found. He bad
doubtless courage, some political in
sight and honesty never Swallowed by
suspicion.
