MIR. pARNEL1 cAsTIGArED.

DUBLIN, January 27.-The Dublin Free
quite silent regarding Mr.. Parnell's cours'
in America, to-day publishes a leader de
nouncing the agitator in the most singing
terms. 1t says: a"H
"We are compelled in the cause oi
truth and charity, in defense OF the
hierarchy, of the benevolent laity OF Ire,
land OF every religion, in self-deiense, in
the interest Of sanity and honor all the
world over, to notice the extraordinary
emanation addressed to the editors OF the
United States, in which Parnell and his
friend run amuck through all the Irish
charitable committees, except his own"
The Freeman denies the statement made
against the Duchess OF Marlborough's COM
mittee, and characterizes the attack on the
Mansion House as an outrage TO all
decency and gross and shameless libel
upon an assembly Of ofgentlemen reckoning
among them the most trusted and respect
ed OF the laity as well as bishops. The
freeman asks what Parnell and Dillon have
done that they should dictate. The Man
sion House is intrusted with 100000, the
Duchess Of Marlborough with $3.50, 900,
WHllt tue IhIutll luuu mas aeCuEeu uuly
$4,000, though every nerve has been
strained. The articlefcontinues:
Gwen the New York Herald fund, which
was started only the other day, has eclips-
ed him and altogether put him out OF the
running; the fact being that by his intol-
Grant violence he has estranged every
sensible man in both countries"
The freeman concludes:
ave stood shoulder to shoulder with
Mr.. Parnell more. than once, but he can
not expect TO be permitted to denounce
without reason, to rave without remon-
STRANGE, and, least OF all, in distant coun-
try, where reply can not overtake him or
a libel suit speedily stop him, where the
whole people arc sought to be misled by
malign, almost maniacal misstatements."
The Freenlan'Sarticle has created agreat
sensation, as indicating a coming breach
between Parnell and Gray, the latter OF
whom was heretofore an energetic sup
porter OF the agitation.
Parnell has estranged every respectable
sympaththizer from his cause, and there
will doubtless be formidable opposition
when the agitator returns.

BUTLER AND THE STANDARD OIL COMPANY,
WASHINGTON, February 27.-Gen. B. F,
Butler made an exhaustive argument be-
fore the House Commerce Committee this
morning, urging an investigation Of the
Standard Oil Company. lie claimed Con.
gress has power under the Constitution
to conduct such an investigation, and
stated that the Western Union Telegraph
Company had been more than once in
vestigated. The three great States Of
New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio had
been powerless to investigate this monop.
oily or to remedy the evils, and producers
had been compelled, by the powerlessness
OF the State, to go into a contract with
their plunderers. The investigation was
necessary, and he hoped the members OF
the committee would do their full duty to
themselves and their constituents. Speak
ing OF John d. Rockefeller, he said he had
lodged the three State investigations and
he had no doubt that II Congress took the
matter in hand 1t would compel him To
leave the country to escape giving his tes-

committee, requested that the Standard
be allowed to be heard before an investi.
cation was ordered.

Among the most prosperous OF these 80
cieties ia the Bryant OF the First ward, the
members OF which assembled at the B. {

went out on a special train to Roney's
Point, on the invitation OF the Bryant
Society OF that place. They were met at
the station and warmly welcomed by a re-
ception committee who escorted our boys
to Blayney's Hall, where large audience
was in waiting.
W. A. Heimberger, Esq, delivered a
graceful address of welcome, after which
very excellent programme OF exercises
was carried out by the following classes:
Reading-U. NJ. Hervey, A. B. Blayney,

The debate was upon the equestion whether
a legislative representative should act
upon the dictates OF conscience or upon

seen by the above programme the debaters
are not boys, but well known men Of
ability, and discussed the question
in a thorough manner. The gentle
men all spoke well, while Messrs.
Orr and McConn were especially logical.
The decision OF the committee was unani.
mously in favor Of the negative. In the
voluntary discussion Mr.. ]. S. Robinson
represented the Wheeling society, and
fairly surpassed himself. Mr.. ], @. Beam
gave recitation which proved him o
