New YORK, Sept. 25.-JuStin Mccarthy,
who arrived here this afternoon on the
White Star steamer Brittauic. was met
down the bay by q committee of reception
on a revenue cutter. The committee cor
daily greeted Mr. Nee arthy, who was
pleased TO meet them. The committee
consisted of Col. Cavanagh, William Lane
O'Neill and William b. Clarke. Mr.. Nc
Carthy is middle-sized man with tlorid
complexion and a sandy-gray beard. He
said that he came over in the company of
Mr.. and Mrs. Campbell Praed, and bad a
delightful journey. He talked fl 'ely, and
said in regard to the defeat of Giadstone's
hOme-rule measure that he was quite pre-
pared for it. and was surprised that there
was not q greater majority against It, The
people were now anxious to see what Cham
berlain would do. He did not think that
Harrington had carried as many
with him as it was thought
he would do, and he believed it
would be found that the secesSiOniSts would
fall away from the ranks of Salisbury when
they found that they had received no APP

Ireland be thought there might be lndl-
viduaI disturbances here and there. but
there would be no organized political
troubles because the Irish people under

that could never take place because it was

as an Irish institution. and it would require
an act of parliament to bri " this to pass,
which would be very difficult to accom-"
pliSh, as they numbered eighty-SiX home
rulers and would be sure to have great
many Radicals with them. There had
been something said about an organized
attempt on behalf of the Irish people to
avoid paying their rent. He did not be-
ieye that anything of the kind
would occur. OF course, in some
cases it was impossible for
the people to pay their rent, as they
were without means. In speaking OF the
appointment Of a commission to inquire as
TO the tenure and purchase OF land III Ire
land, mentioned in the queens speech, he
said that was one of the many ways the
Tories had OF evading a. question and that
it only meant delay to enable them to form
ulate some definite plan for dealing with
the Irish question. He spoke OF the recent
.
come up for hearing before Mr. Justice
O'Brien. who was an enemy to the cause OF
home rule. he having been defeated by
friend Of Parnell in a contest at Ennis. As
to his return to Europe, Mr.. Mccarthy said
he intended to pc back for the opening OF
parliament on Gle 9th OF February. he
had not come here on any
POLITICAL MISSION.
of any bind hut Tn rive DOiiticaI lectures
for his own purpose. He had come as a
literary man rather than politician, and in
tended to lecture on The English House
OF Parliament, 1.-THE Irish NationalAbuse, F"
English Politics and one or two other
subjects. and endeayOr to give the American
people fair view of things on the other
side. The Irish people felt perfectly sat
iSfied with the defeat of GladStone'S meas
ure, and seemed disposed to call it a victory,
rather than a defeat, for when they COM
menced the fight eight years ago, they had
but eight or nine home rulers, while when
they walked with Gladstone to the house OF
commons last March they had 311. He be-
lieved that if the present government car
Ted out Lord Canarvon's plan 1t would De
in power for a long time. Lord Ran
dOIph Churchill would, he believed,
be educated TO home rule. He was
q very clever young man and deep
thinker, although but a school boy in many
of his ways. Mr.. Mccarthy spoke of the
admiration which Gladstone and Parnell
had for each other. and said that Parnell
believed implicitly in GladstOne's power TO
give the Irish people what they sought. If
he lived. Mr.. Mccarthy was taken to the
Hoffman house, where he will remain dur
ing his stay in this city.
