Home Rulers at Belfast-The Council of
Belfast Home Rule Association have pub
lished an official report of a meeting, in
which they state: ''After the routine busi-
ness was disposed of the members present
had an animated conversation respecting
the absorbing question at present agitating
the public mind. The unanimous convic-
ton of the meeting was that the Irish, as a
people, have for centuries been suffering
most grievous wrongs at the hands of En-
glish 0ppressors. These wrongs which are
acknowledged even by the English them
selves, and still existing in most offensive
form, would render it an incumbent duty
of the Irish Nation, if organized in Par
lament to refuse any assistance by vote of
men or money, until the grievances which
affect the land were first redressed, the
greatest of which grievances is the absence
of native Parliament" 1t was strenu-
ouSly urged that this course would be per-
fectly constitutional, seeing that the faith

penal servitude for life, it having beer
proved that he, ODonoyan Rosa, and ]
Clarke Luby had been appointed by
Stephens as the Executive of the intended
Provisional Government in Ireland. DR.
O'Leary, since his release by the amnesty o1
| Mr. Gladstone Government, has resided in
| Paris, as it was made condition of his re
lease that he should reside outside Hel
Majesty's dominions. One singular fact
connected with him was that bis ability
and sincerity were held in such esteem by
the leaders of the conspiracy that he was
admitted to their confidence without for
mally becoming Fenian. The permission
now granted to him is the result of a repre-
sentation by his solicitor that his presence
is required in Ireland in relation to the set
Element of some family properties. The
only conditions made are that he gives hi:
word of honor that while he remains in
