Of John O'Mahony.
my CABLE TO THE HERALD

LONDON, Feb. 10, 1877.
The transfer OF the remains Of Colonel John
O'Mahony, the ex.Fenan leader. to Ireland is ex.
citing good deal OF attention here, and the Irish
nationalists are awaiting themselves OF the occasion
to make the funeral o demonstration against
British rule In Ireland. The preparations are
on very extensive SCALE and the whole population
OF Ireland and the hundreds Of thousands Of Irish
residents In England and Scotland, are excited "a
fever heat. There can be doubt that the funeral
and the reception OF the body in the various towns
through which 1t will pass its way to intcrment
will be one OF the most significant outbursts OF pop
uar Keeling which has taken place IN Ireland foy
many years
HOPES OF THE NATIONALISTS.
The advanced or extreme natlonalists call to
mind that the funeral of Terence Belew McManus
who died In California and was buried in Glasnevin
Cemetery in November, 1861 was the thing of all
others which infused life into the Fenan movement
and brought masses Of men together who had pre-
viously had no opportunity OF exchanging political
views, and no effort will be spared to make the
O'Mahony obsequies serve similar purpose. This
fact is also well known to the authorities and con.
sequently the affair is regarded by them with no
inconsiderablc dissatisfaction.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE DEMONSTRATION.
The fact that Dr. Denis bowling Mulcahy, one Of
the most uncompromising Of the ex-Fenian prison.
ers and a man Of no mean ability as speaker and
writer, has been chosen by the Irish.
American natonalsts as the chairman Of
the delegation accompanying the body to
Ireland, Is looked upon as an indication
of the decidedly pronounced character intended to
be given to the demonstration, and the enthusiasm
shown by the OF the people in the preparations
is looked upon as convincing proof that the federal
root In the country.
ACTIVELY PREPARING.
Committees have sprung up as If by magic in
every town in Ireland and along the line Of route
the preparations for the reception OF the body are
being pushed with the greatest possible zeal. Ad-
dresses are being prepared, and there is hardly a
towp in ireland which will not send delegation to
take part the funeral In all tho great cities Of
England and Scotland the enthusiasm is, If any
thing greater than in Ireland, and numerous dele
cations will be sent to Ireland on the occasion.
RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF THE AFFAIR.
The Catholic Bishop OF Cloyne has consented to
celebrate a requiem mass on the arrival Of the re-
mains, as his predecessor, DR.. Keane, did in the
case Of McManus, and yesterday at Queenstown
prayers were offered at mass for the repose of the
soul of the deceased FenaD. Considerable curiosity
is manifested as to what action Cardinal Cullen will
take the matter, as he has not yet replied to the
request to allow the remains to lie in state in the
Cathedral in Dublin. AS the pro English opinions
of the Cardinal are well known 1t is expected he
will give nat REFUSAL which will be the signal for
an outburst ofindignation that will give crushing
blow to utramontanism in Ireland.
HOW THE REMAINS WILL BE RECEIVED.
The Dakota is expected to arrive on Thursday
next. and the landing Of the remains will be the
occasion of a tremendous ovation. tender has
been placed at the disposal of the Cork Reception
Committee by Messrs. Scott & Co., and the body
will be transferred to the oCathedral, at Queens.
town, escorted by grand torchight procession.
l
It will lie in state until Sunday, the 25th,
when 1t will be removed to Dublin for intcrmcnt
In Glasncvin, except O'Mahonys relatives express
wish to have him buried in the family church
yard at Kilbehcnny. Should Cardinal Cullen re-
fuse to allow the body into Dublin church 1t is ex.
pccted that 1t will be at taken to Tuam, where
Archbishop MacIIale will give 1t all the honor the
Irish people can desire.
THE FUNERAL GRAFTON.
The funeral grafton will, 1t is expected, be de.
livered by Charles J. Kickham, Of Munahone,
Tipperary, the well known writer and ex-polltical
prisoner, but us he is entirely deaf and in very bad
health he may be unable to do In that case, the
Grafton will be delivered by DR.. Denis bowling Null.
