LONDON, No. 22.-lt is evident to-day
that Mr.. Parnell means TO remain as leader
OF the Irish party, and that the mass of the
Irish people are willing TO ignore his private
errors in view Of what they regard as the
necessity for his public services. One Of
the prominent members OF the Ma
tional League said to-day, in reply TO
a request for an opinion: 1--WE cannot
AFFORD to drop Mr.. Parnell, and we will not
drop him. Why One good reason is that
we have no man TO fill his place. Mr.. Par
nelrs position is exceptional. lie is one Of
the AnglO-lrish, that is, an lrishman Of
English descent like Wellington and
Wolseley, and others whom the English
boast of as belonging TO themselves.
The average of BritOns will listen 10
and respect "A man Of that kind, when they
would take no notice Of a Celt. Even with
this divorce stain upon him, Parnell stands
better to-day with the English than any
member Of the Irish party, and if Ireland is
10 be delivered it must be through English
votes. Scotland we have with us already. All
the leading Scotch Tories have had TO 90 to
England TO get seats 10 stay in Parliament.
Now, we must gain England over. and il
cannot be done without a man like Parnell.
To throw him overheard and put Dillon or
O'Bnen or any one else i'm his place would
simply be TO revive that old distinction be-
tween the Celt and AnglO-SaXOn races
which has been the bane of Ireland in the
past, and which Parnel has done more than
any man i'm Irish history 10 eflace."
GLADsTONE's SILENCE OMINOUs.
But while the above appears 10 be the
attitude of the Irish representatives. liberal
opinion throughout England, although not
as rabid i'm expression as the Pall-Mall
Gazette, is adverse to Mr.. Parnell. The
silence Of Mr.. Gladstone is taken as an
ominOus indication of his sentiments. and
many eyes are turned to Hawardin for
some utterance that could be accepted as
oracular by the party.
MRS. O'sHEA TO BE MRS. PARNELL.
1t is reported at the clubs that Mrs. O'Shea
has told personal friend that she will be
Mrs. Parnell before July next. Mr.. Panell.
il is expected, will marry her as soon as the
law permits. This is the general custom
when there is but one correspondent in
suit for divorce, aud he il free to marry
as Mr. Parnell is believed to be. such
union would help Mr.. Parnell financially

az his personal means are limited, and have
been dwindling for years, owing to his libe-
raj treatment OF all employed by him. and
his expenditures in the interest Of the
Irish cause. Mrs, O'Shea Will receive a
handsome share Of the estate OF her aunt.
the late Lady Wood, however the pending
contest as to the will may result, and this.
with what remains of Mr.. ParnelPs patri-
mony, would support them in comfort.
ACCUSED OF MURDER.
The Chronicle proposes that Messrs.
Troup, Ward. and BOnny be placed on trial
for murder, or manslaughter, In shooting
Burgari MOhammed after an investigation
bv a mock tribunal. The Chronicle main
tans that the officers Of the rear-guard did
not hold commissions or letters of marque
from the Government, and, therefore. had
no right to usurp jurisdiction over the ma
tiyes, but having done 50 they are as clearly
guilty as If they had similarly treated a
resident Of any civilized community.
