MIR. Parnell, &c.
Mr.. parncn,s peceptlon In Detroit.

DETROIT, MGcn.. Feb. ga reception TO
Mr.. Parncll was held Mt the oporn.houso TO-
night Mayor Thompson presiding. In the
course OF his remarks Mr.. Parucll referred
as follows to the New York Herald relief tuud
ani tho manner of its distribution: Wishing
TO give the New York Herald u fair chance OF
showing that ii was sincere IN its expressions
orsymmthy with the 1tish people, he and Mr.
Dillon had published a letter ton days ago
appealing to the Herald to Lame Il committee
in Ireland to distribute IT'S relief fluid which
would command the confidence Of the Irish
people. The Herald, in reply TO this appeal
published the names of committee which
was not II salts a1to Y Ono, rs there was too
much of landlord aud government influence
In It's composition. Nevertheless, In defer.
ence to tho wishes of friends from all
parts of the Uuion, lie consented to act IN
belief that by appointing II gentleman to rep.
resent him during his absence from ireland
ho could ncutraliza this influence to such an
extent Ms TO make the committee tolcrtble,
but tho Hcrdld refused him the privilege of
appointing r proxy, while 1t allows another
member of its committee TO do so, thereby
showing that it's offer TO him was not Il bona
fde one aud that 1t feared the influence of his
representative would be used to dcfcut its
object of strengthening landlord interest In
Ireland under guisc of charity. At the con.
clusion of the meeting nearly $1,000 was sub
scribcd, aud the receipts from sale of tickets
will also net II large sum for the relief Of
ireland.
