the first is the deadly hatred of England that fhe Irish
men here exhibit and next is the accurate knowledge
possessed by the people respecting the progress OF events
at home This latter feature s to me simply astonishing,
and shows with what attention Irelands efforts
are being followed in America"

OPINIONS OF IRIsHMES IN THIS CITY.
lrishmen In New-York of every stamp, Fenians,
Land Leaguers and Natenalists, were toleraby
unanimous yesterday in their views of the attack
on Lady Florence Dixie The general opinion was that
Lady Florence was sufficiently respected and liked in
Ireland to make il highly improbable that Irishmen
had any hand in it; also that the assault had been
greatly exaggerated by the English Press and by
Lady Florence herself and that If 1t had any polit-
zeal significance, it was the attempt OF a party
opposed to Ireland The remarks made are in brief
as iollOws:
ODonovan Rossa-It's easy to see through the
whole business. IL the men meant murder, shure
there was her bare throat to stab. Ii wasn't an
freshman that did IL anyway Bho has spent TOO
much money in behalf of Ireland TO have enemies
there. =,
bood-She's always been friend to Ireland and
she was quite right IN showing up the Land League
and Pat Egan too. 1t was the English Government

csptiop COmmittee-I believe Lady Florence knew
