VINO have been seen tonight. incIuIing tho
| Hon. p. A. Collins and John BSyIe o'Reil1v.
| condemn the assassination of Lord Cavendish
| IN umnessIred terms. They say that the kill
! ing Of Forster might have BEEN perhaps justl.
liable; but there is no excuse for tho murder
| OF man who has yet done nothing; and the
! opinion seems to be unanimous that the result
| of to- nights work in Dublin will be TO iniure
the cause Of Ireland more than almost anv-
thing else could have done In this view the
so-called nationalists. rs well as the sinon-pure
Land-Leaguers, agree, although they suppose
1 that the perpetrators of the crime were mis.
| guided Fenians Mr. io'Renly com pared the
| act of the assassins to that Of Guiteau, and
said that it was equally devoid of political

| special OF the 9Th from New York SAYS
:" The news of the ASSASSINATION made n sen.
sation at the meeting of the Executive Com
mittee OF the Land League at Brooklyn to-
nlsnt. Justice Walsh hoped the details would
snow that the Irish people wore not RESPONSE
bic. MIR. oOonnell said it was a pity that tho
predecessor of Lord Cnvendish had not beeu
served the same way. John Rooney, who pre-
sided, called OConnell to order. Michael ID.
Gailagher, Presidnnt oftho Panoll League Of
| New York, said, this evening, that the assass-
nation, If not the act of a lunatic,
would probably prove to be the crime
of paid emissary Of the party OF coercion.
The bloody deed could not have been the act
of a lover of Ireland. 1t would be productive
OF nothing but harm to Ireland 1t would
doubtless check and retard Gladstone's new
departure, and perhaps cause him to retrace
his steps and have recourse TO sterner meas
ures than ever He would be wrong, however,
! In holding whole people guilty for the wick
cd and insane act of a few The Land League
would deplore the murder" .'
Philadelphia special says ;" Several prom
fnent Land-Leaguers were interviewed to-
night on the assassination of Lord Cavendsh.
They all expressed horror at the deed, and said
the men who did it could not have had the good
of Ireland at heart. Some thought they must
be insane. Not one of them could speak in
strong enough terms Of horror. DR.. William
Carroll put the ninrderers on par with Gui-
tesu and the man who attempted to shoot tho

Several of the most prominent members of
the Irish National Land League in this city
execrate the horrible crime and trust the per-
petrators of the fiendish act may be brought
speedily to justice. The assassination is con,
sidered to be direct blow at the interest and
rising hopes of Ireland and is particularly to
be deplored at this time 'f'1 600 1880
