GEN. GR4NT AND CORK.
Apparently not Much sympathy with him
Among the Irish- American Citizens.

The proposed meeting OF Irish-American
citizens to dcnounce the treatment OF Gen. Grant
by the Corkonans was not held last evening.
Tho reason assigned by the committee was that
It was thought best to await the arrival Of files
OF Irish newspapers to see how the action Of the
Cork officials. in refusing to tender n reception
to Con. Grant was received by the Irish people.
The postponement is to an indefinite time, and
il is said that tho Irish sh-Americans will proSa-
bly, not hold any meeting on tho subject.
The committee asccrtained. upon inquiry.
that there was n decided difference OF opinion
among Irish Americans IA to the conduct Of tho
Corkonians Some said they had acted Just
right. and that Grant had no claims upon the
Irish people. One Irish PATRICIA Corkonian-
visited the committee and openly nvowed his
opposition to any movement representing tho
Irish Americans as sympathizing with Grant
In any way. Moro than that, he threatene to
organize crowd to 20 To tho meeting with q
plentiful supply of missiles. for the purpose OF
petit any Of the speakers who should venture
to defend Grant.
Some OF tho prominent Irish American citi-
2cns called upon to lend aid ana comfort TO tue
proposed meeting gave decided refusal Th9y
wanted nothing TO do with 1t. and wouldn't give
n cont TO dcfray the expense. Others regarded
II ne mere political dodge to fOrestnll the effort
to get Grant non mated for the nOXt Presidency.
Then there w"s ne usual amount OF heartburn
on thee ommittce. and thcre wns also some OBJ
lection on the part OF mon whose names had
been used without authority. Some OF the CON
mttce were in favor Of going on with the meet
ing ut all hazards, and running the risk Of the
threatened opposition. But the greatest Oblcc-
ton was the lack OF funds 10 pay for the hall
aud for ADVERTISING. Tho sympathy with Grant
was found to DO OF kind that did not show itself
In hard cash.
