In reply to tie person styling himself
an "Irishman," would in brief answer
his question: 'r f 81
First-When II is a question Of giving
bread to a starving people, o man should
never ask what is their religion, and l
know aniIrishman never would.
Second -Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and
Murdock are Protestants, 1t is safe then to
say they cannot be working for or in the
interest OF Catholics.
Third-Tbat II Henry II did subjugate
Ireland with the authority OF the Pope, he
never was authorized by him 10 rob and
starve them. Henry being Catholic
King, Is true enough, for to be Chris.
tian King, he could not have been any,
thing else, as there was no other Chris.
tian religion at that time, or for three CEN
turies after.
Fourth-To give the public an idea Of
the logic OF this peculiar Irishman, we
quote passage from his article. "The
Catholic King Henry II, who under the
authority OF the Pope and armed with his
bull conquered the Irish people and took
possession Of their country, and oyerturn-
ed the religion taught by st. Patrick To
this would simply say does this Irish
man know what religion st. Patrick taught
and II 1t Is natural fora Catholic King to
govern Catholic people, authorized by a
Catholic Pope to oyerturn Catholic
people or country. Sometimes / think
this Irishman is jocking, the way his
article reads. But II he doubts the
honesty Of the persons to whom the
subscriptions will be sent to be distribu-
ted among the starving, he can call upon
any OF the committee and they will in
form him, and II he is not satisfied his
money will be refunded to hin-that is
II there is any to refund, but am in
clined TO think there would not be, for /
know all that was given by Irishmen was
given understandingly, for i doubt not
but this peculiar Irishman is the indivi:
dual that got in TO hear Parnell on Mon
day night on complimentary ticket
given TO reporter, and not transferable,
and who also had the base and bold
effrontry TO show the hard and inhuman
heart he had, when Mr.. Parnell in his
speech asked whether 100000 poor stafv.
ing families In ireland should be com.
PEELED to 90 or the 10000 landlords, and
he thought the Irish families.
My object in answering the Irishman is
not with the hope OF changing his opinion,
as / think his prejudices have gotten on
tirely away with him, but II Is with a de-
sire Of correcting any false impressions
that might hayethe effect OF preventing
some well-disposed and charitable-hearted
giving to a good and noble people, ever
the friends OF my country, morsel Of
bread 10 appease their iamishing hunger.
Respectfully, an IRIsI-ANERlCAN.

PoLITICAL RIDERS
VIII sim Cucumber the Appropriation
BiIIs.

Will StL1 Encumber the Appropriation
Bills.
WASHINGTON, February 17.-It seems to
bepretty clear now that the power 10 at
tach political riders to the appropriation
bills is not to be abandoned. The Repub-
licans have made good fight, but IN un-
successful one. The Democratic majority
must take the responsibility for the con-
tinuance Of this evil practice, for which
the best opportunity to do away with it
they have almost solidly, under the lead
ership OF Randall and Blackburn, voted
for its continuance.
Prominent Democrats have exerted
themselves to give partisan cast to the
debate. Randall led off several days ago
with the first partisan harangue that had
been intcrjected into the debate. Nc
Mahon swung on party wings last week,
and to-day Hurd, Of Ohio, held aloft the
Democratic banner, claiming that the
powerto attach political riders was essen
tial to the preservation OF the liberties OF
the people, and the Democratic party
ought not to throw away now the partial
victory won in the extra session.
Interest in the Warner amendment
seemed to have died out, the Republicans
appearing to think it was not adequate to
the necessity. When the vote was taken
on the question OF making the Warner
substitute part Of the rules, only about
forty voted in favor OF it, and eighty
against it. Then there were several new
substitutes offered, couched in different
phraseology, but devised TO accomplish
the same purpose. The real test came on
an amendment prepared by Mr.. Speer, of
Georgia, on which the vote was the larg-
est OF the day. The amendment was lost,
by two majority. 1t was renewed in vari-
Gus forms, but voted down every time.
Much time was consumed in the discus
sion OF points OF order on some OF these
amendments, and when the commit
tee rose no progress had been made furth-
er than to make 1t apparent that the 2lst
rule was to undergo no essential change,
and the Democracy would have the right
to attach partisan riders to the appropria-
tion bills, in order TO enable them to at
tack the administration, as was done in
the extra session.

Daring Highway Robbery.

LouIsvIlLE, February 1s.-A daring day.
light robbery was committed this after.
noon on Main street. James Thompson,
Of Pickett's tobacco warehouse, drew from
the. Second National Bank 5000. He
placed the money in his coat pocket and
started for the warehouse, when at the
corner of Seventh and Main, two men,
who followed him, jostled against him in
q rough manner. He turned to see what
was the matter, when one OF the men
turned around and started rapidly up
street. Hethereupon seized hold Of the
other man, who. protested that he was q
gentleman, and when Thompson released
his hold upon him he also ran of. Thomp-
son then discovered that the package Of
s, 900 was missing. Atthat hour Of the
day Main street Is crowded, and 1t Is
strange that the parties escaped 50 easily.
There is no clue yet as to the whereabouts
