JUSTIN M'CARTHY, NJ. P,
MEETS WITH A HEARTY REUEP-
TI0N
At the Hands Of the Irish People of
New York, Who Honor Him
as a Patriot.

New YoRK, September 25.-Justin
Mccarthy, who arrived here this after
poon on the White Star steamer
Britannia, was met down the bay by a
committee OF reception on revenue
cutter. The committee cordially greet
ed Mr.. Mccarthy, who was pleased to
mest them. The committee consist.
ed Of Col. Cavanagh, VIM. Lane O'Neil
and VIM. B. Clarke.
Mr.. Mccarthy is a midde-sized
man, with forid complexion and a
sandy gray boa'd. He said that he
came over in the company Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Campbell Praed, and had a de-
lightful journey. He talked freely,
aud said in regard TO Mr.. Gladstone's
home rule measure that he W. quite
prepared for it. and was surprised that
there was not a greater majority
sgairs. it. The people we're now anx-
ious to see what Chamberlain would
do. He did not think that darlington
had carried ss many with him as it
wss thought he would do, and he be-
lieyed it would be found that
the seces5ionists would fall away fIom
the ranks of Salisbury when they
found that they had received no ap-
pointments. II eviction was pressed
in Ireland he thought there might be
individual disturbances here and
there, but there would bs no organ
lied political troubles, because the
Irish people underst cd the position
OF affairs perfectly. As to the sup
preston OF the National Lasgue, that
could never take pace, because it was
an English as well as an Irish iustitu-
ton, and it would require an act of
Parliament to bring this to pass, which
would bs very difficult to accomp plish,
ss they numbered eighty.six Home
Rulere, and would be ture to have a
great many Radicals with them.
There had been something said alb 1ut
an organized attempt on behalf of the
Irish people to avoid paying their
rent; he did not bsieve 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 apr ointment of a commission to
inquire as to the tenure and purchase
of land in Ireland, mentioned in the
Queens epsech today, he said that
was one of the many ways the Tories
had Of evicting question and that it
only meant delay TO enable them to
formulate come definite plan for deal
ing with the Ifish question. He
spoke of the receut defeat in Derry,
and said the case would come up for
hearing before Justice 0'Brien, who
was an enemy to the cause OF home
rule, he having been defeated by a
friend of Parnell's in his contest at
Ennis. As 10 his return to Europe,
Mr.. Nc Csrthy said he intended to be
back for the opening of Parliament on
the 9Th OF February. He had not come
here on any political mission of any
kind, but to give political lectures for
his own pnrposelb lie had come as q
literary man, rather than politician,
and intended to lecture on the CEN
glish House of Parliament" the Irish
National Cause" "Euglish Politics."
and one or two other subjec's, and
endeavor to give the American people
a fair view Of things on the other side.
The Irish people, he added, felt per-
fecty satisfied with the defeat of
measure, and seemed dis
posed to call it victory rather than a
defeat, for when they commenced 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 bad 3l1. He believed that
il the present government carried out
Lord Carnarvon's plan, they would be
IN power long time. Lord Randolph
Churchill would, he believed, be edu-
Gated to home rule. H9 was a very
clever young man and deep thinker,
althcu h bat school boy in many of
his ways.
Mr.. Mccarthy spoke of the admira-
ton which Gladstone aud PArnell had
for each other, and said that Parnell
believed implicitly in GIadstone's
power to give the Irish people what
they sought for if be lived.
MIR. Mccarthy was taken to the
House, where he will remain
during his stay IN this city.
