pAHSE11's LETTER TO VICTOR HUGO.
Special Cable
PARIS, Feb. 2G-3lr. Parnell has sent the
following letter to Victor Hugo:
"PAR1s, Feb. 24.-lLLCsTR1oCs Sur: The
nobility Of heart the deep sympathy with
human suffering, and the exertions in
favor Of oppressed nauonalities which
have distinguished you throughout
life encourage me to invoke
your powerful advocacy in defense OF the
suffering Irish people. The question is not
q sectarian question in its present aspect It
is purely social question. It is the cause Of
6,0oo,ouo Of wo1kingmen struggling for just
Ice and for the right to live by their labor
In their own land, against a small and privi-
legged class, foreign in their origin, foreign III
their aspirations, and supported in their ill.,
justices and tyranny by the force of foreign
naticn. What have been the results of the
domination Of this classe They are written
in the history of recurring famines,
DEClAAT1NG GENERATION AElEH GENERAL
TON.
No human words can paint the miseries and
s1lfferings which have been witnessed even
by the youngest among us. Millions have
been driven from their homes in despair.
Hundreds of thousands have perlshed
miserably Of hunger in land teem-
ing with food. Half of Our
population exist constantly on the verge Of
famine, while 10,000 landlords, many Of
whom have never seen Ireland, riot in ex-
sravagance and luxury on the contiscated
produc: Of the peoples labor. It is against
the system which has produced the evils that
we struggle. 1t is to put an end once and
forever to
THIS DETEsTABLE STATE OF SOCIETY
that we appeal to the conscience of all good
men, without distinction of creeds, Of party,
Dr OF nationality, to aid us in shaming the
Government Of England to do justice to
our people To you, honored sir,
who have known how to awaken the
sympathy Of mankind for Lies Miserables,''
We feel that We shall not appeal in vain
when we ask that your voice shall be raised
In behalf Of brave but unfortunate nation.
Accept, illustrious sir, the assurances OF my
high esteem

O'KELLY PROTESTS.
Mr.. O'Ke1ly. who is here with Mr.. Parnel1,
yesterday wrote long letter to Archbishop
McCabc defending the course taken by him
self and Mr. Parnell in the recent negotia-
tons with the Partisan press, and
against the letters of men
like Delllnsham and Errington. In
the letter he says: "Neither Mr.. Parnell nor
mrself sought the alliance of any party in
France We have appealed to French pub
hcists OF all parties and all shades of opin-
ion." Nevertheless, in conversation with Mr.
O'kelly, it was ascertained to-day that curl
Dusly enough neither he nor Mr.. Parnell
have yet secured the papers which are most
influential III France.
AN INTERVIEW WITH THE BISHOP OF PARIS.
Mr.. Parnell and AIr. O'K-lly had 4 long in
teryiew with the Cardinal Archbishop of
Paris at the Episcopal Palace this morning.
They were received with great courtesy.
The Archbishop appeared to take lively
Interest i'll the state Of Ireland. lie earnestly
counseltd moderation, and deprecated any
departure from legal agitation Mr.. Parnell
seemed satisfied with the result of the inter-
view.
