dom shown in selecting Judge Fullerton
and General Pryor as counsel for 0'Don-
nell, the murderer OF Carey, the Iuformer.
Sullivan writes: 1.-THE fact that one Is q
northern man and the other Southern
man happily illustrates the completeness
OF the restoration OF the Union which
England 80 desperately and so treacher-
ously sought to destroy.p He says the duty
Of securing for 0'Donnell a proper defense
us made the more imperative by the infa-
nous conduct Of the British Governmsntin
his cass as described In the Nation article,
while the present alleged American Min.
is.er is retained in office 1t is not difficult
10 understand how gladly the Eaglish
Government would arrange 10 secure
|0'Donnells defense through that chan.

The lithographed letter is as follows:
0rrcE OF THE IRISH woRLp, PARK PLAcRl
NRw York, October 90. 1883.
DEAR slR-The costs Of o'Donnell,s
defense are mounting up considerably
above my original calculations. There are
three sets Of lawyers in the case-the
Americans, the English, and those at the
South Africa Cape. The last were ffslin
The case, and are now doing service in hunt
ing up witnesses, taking depositions and
atfidavi's, and doing such work and fur
nishing such information us counsel in
England deem expedient.
To enable witnesses 10 come from Africa
and to give to 0'Donnell's counsel an
opportunity to work up his defence, a post
ponement Of the trial, after asharp fight in
court, has been gained. .ll5st s
The following cable dispatch, calling on
me for instant remittance OF $1,000, Is Just
received from London. This Is the third
call Of the same character tha. has been
made on me from across the water. To
each call have responded fully and with
promptness.
These costs do not include counsel fees.
The total expense at the close will probably
be not less than $50, 600.
lam working with oil my might and &C.
cordipg to my best Judgment My whole
heart, and mind, and pen arc in the work.
But all the friends Of 0'Donnell must re-
new their efforts TO save him, Il possible.
The life OF brave lrishman trembles in
the balance. His lawyers arc not without
hope; but the time for effort In his behalf
Is short, and whatever is to be done for
him must be begun notp, and be pushed
with vigor. .. ~,
Assuming you, sir, to be in sympathy
with the object Of this letter, l make bold
to address you personally, and earnestly
solicit your co-operat ation.tt h q
On the principle that honor should be
given to whom honor is due, full credit will
be paid to every man who does mans
work in 0'Donnell's behalf. ~ = y q
Hoping to hear from you soon, lam, sir,
Very truly yours,
PATRfck FcED. 6
