Herald Relief Committee.
NEW York, Feb. 1.-THE Herald
names as a committee to distribute its
Irish relief fund, the following: Col
II. ID
Prof Baldwin, Cardinal McClosky and
Mr.. Parnell. The Cardinal mt first de
| clined to serve, but has since considered
his declination, and now consents to
render the requested services. Mr.. Par
nell also declined when his services were
! first asked, but the Herald hopes he will
reconsider his decision its request
and repeats that he viii act
as one of tho committee not
| withstanding his strange course toward
| the paper. The editorial upon the sub
| Ject IN TINS mornings Herald concludes
as follows: Eve offer Mr. Parnell such
a committee as he thinks desirable, nam
| ing himself as a member of il. If he
again declines, the verdict of the Ameri-
can public will be that Mr.. Parnell's OBJ
! jeGt is not relief for his countrymen, but
selfish agitation for his political and
personal aggrandizement, and that he is
not only an Gbstrnciionist in his own
country, but an obstructionist to charity
here, Ifhe deliberately puts himself in
this position the American people will
| think it about time that he end his farce.
We suppose all sensible IIishmen viii
endorse this conclusion"
