cent Events in Ireland.
New YORK. December 15:h.-A circular letter
has been issued by the Irish delegates to the
Treasurers OF the funds at sll points where
they have spoken, that before they left Ireland
clear understanding was arrived at that the
funds collected i'll America should be used for
the support OF eyteted tenants. Joseph E. Ken
ney and Alfred Webb, who were appointed
Treasurers of the fund, have taken opposite
sides in the present controversy. But in every
case the delegates say We are quite confident
that the money, if sent them. will be homer
ably applied TO the purposes for which it was
subscribed. They therefore earnestly request
that any funds in hand be Immediately for
warded TO Dublin, payable to the joint order of

DILLON WRITES TO THE PRESS.
New YORK, December 15lh-Johu Dillon has
Issued lergtby letter 10 the press as to the
more recent events in Ireland. he says he has
beea from the first strongly opposed to any per
sorally offensive attacks on ParneQ. Although
it must be admitted that the cruelty unjust
chsrges he has leveled against the members of
his par y, and the extraordinary violence of
the methods by which he has sought to suppress
all expression of opinion hostile to himself,
renders it very difficult for his opponents to
maintain an attitude of moderation.
Dillon depIecates in strong terms some of the
language which has been used in Ireland on
both sides the past few days.
Referring again to the attacks on Gladstone
and Morley, he says he is convinced that there
is not shadow OF foundation for the charges
made against them-charges which would never
have been imagined. much less uttered Gays he,
| but for the Ochea divorce case and Gladstone's S
| letter.
Dillon says his reliance for the satisfactory
character OF the home-ruie bill has always been,
| not on the pledges of any English statesman,
| but on the honesty and independence o. the
| Irish party, and above all, on the unity oi :
| tional feeling of the Irish race. He still hiss
| hopes that the c. inference between O'Brier aud
Parnell may result in restoring unity. but in the
| meantime Parnell has plunged Ireland into a
| conflict which wrings the heart of every Irish
| man with pain and humiliation. He has done
| this for purely personal end.
| Dillon feels bound to say that, since he com
meEced his Irish campaign, Parnell has used
language and done acts revoiting to every free
born man. and If he (Dillonl could meet Parnell
IL Ireland he should tell him that, unless he
| very much altered his course, he was no iii
| leader for nation aspiring to be free.
Dillon. in closing, strongly appeals to the peo
| pie in Ireland, notwithstanding the provocation
not to forget the respect due Parnell for his past
| mighty work.
