THE CORK CONVENTION.
CoRK, December 1.-THE city and
county convention assembled here today.
| The hall was crowded. The name of Par
nell was greeted with both cheers and
rroans. The High Sheriff OF Cork pre-
sided. The Chairman read q telegram
from Patrick Egan giving instructions for
| me transfer Oh HIS NIuIfN u tNefA AfffAftt
| TO Mccarthy. Mccarthy IN an address
| declared that if the Irish party wanted
authority or sanction for what they had
done the magnificent gathering there as
sembled gave il TO them. After such a
meeting they would be entitled 10 speak IN
| the name Of the Irish people, and they
would have q still better right to speak
after the election in Kilkenny.

and Patrick Egan's action IN the transfer
of his United Ireland shares 10 Mccarthy.
Sexton declared that O'Hrien was return
| ing from America with "a broken heart, and
| that Parnell would be satisfied with no.
| thing short Of the most abiect submission.
| A crowd of Parnell men who had gathered
| outside hoOted 40 and tried 10 attack those
who had attended tho meeting when they
were leaving the hall, but the police drove
them back.
MCCARTHY on PARSELL.
Mccarthy said he remembered that IN
one important instance Parnell, while pre-
siding at meeting, told the members OF
| his party that if a majority opposed he
should not feel justified in retaining the
chair. But of late years, said MIR. McCa;-
| thy. by steps so gradual az TO be hardly per
| ceptlble. Parnelps personal authority had
| been sweeping and spreading over all the
actions Of the party The recent reyela-
tons. showing that important facts had
| been kept secret for whole year, led them
TO feel the danger of want OF implicit
confidence between leader and party, and
they were now entitled 10 speak IN the
| name of the Irish people and they would
stand firm at thar posts.
=, .yp,,s xNs,sr ~, TO up WV
They would welcome help from every
English party generous and brave enough
TO assist them, but the very essence Of
their life was that the Irish party should
never absorb itself with or attach itself To
any English party whatever. No matter
what gratitude they might Justly feel to-
ward any great Englishman or English
party they would never place their lnde-
pendence OF the dictation OF any authority
but that of the Irish people.
NO MAN WOULD DARE OPPOSE HIM.
Mr.. Sexton said if Parnell was Premier
of Ireland and any man dared TO oppose
| him that man would find him little differ
emit from Balfour. 1t was indecent, III
diculous, and tfatuous to have
leader YOU could not find. Parnell
had ruined the American collections.
| but they were willing 70 intTust all
| funds, if Parnell was also willing, 20 some
independent body in Ireland, such as the
priests. The only possible party with
whom Parnell could not treat were Bal
four's followers. who were waiting to
throw Dillon and O'Brien into prison.
A SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST PARSEIL.
LONDON, December 17.-Labouchere in q
speech at Stratford to-day declared that
the London Tories paid Parnell's election
expenses in 1880. He added that If he was
challenged TO do so he could bring forward
abundant proof of the truth of his state
ment.
THAT BAG OF LIME.
LONDON, December 1.-THE Teegraphs
Kilkenny correspondent says that the
paper bag containing slaked lime or plaster
of Paris was deliberately thrown at Parnell
from a distance of two yards. 1t was so
dark that il was impossible TO detect the
culprit. The whole Parnellite party. the
same correspondent saws. on leaving Castle
Corner were pelted with bags of lime and
mud and with stones, many packages OF
lime being thrown from the sidewalk near
the courts, the gsteways Of which offered
a safe retreat tor the mob.
