EDITOR ARGUS: We see by q recent issue
OF the Democrat that the editors of that
sheet make an unusually foul attack, even
for men of the reputation OF Johns and
Scott, on the undersigned. The real cause
for their venom is that we forced them to
pay us a just debt and are trying to collect
money due on a note given by David Scott,
Jr., for labor performed for them. They
say that we are too fresh" and "know
nothing about journalism" Suffice it to
say that we did know enough about the
business as to enable us to sell them IN
outfit that cost less han 5000 for 81 400
and forced them to pay it. Please publish
and oblige, Yours fraternally,

PARNEl,L AND O'RRIEN.

Inc triGnuH or Ireland are awaiting
with considerable anxiety tho result OF
the conference between Parnell and
O'Brien in France They met last week,
discussed the situation aud agreed to
hold another conference. Many reports
from enterprisnR newspaper correspon"
dents have appeared in print, bat they
have boon pronounced unworthy OF
credence by Mr.. O'Brion, who has said
that ho had not given a single reporter
anything concerning the interview, nor
would no uutil everything is satisfac-
torily settled. A. correspondent of the
New York World had tnlk with VBricn
last Sunday, and when asked il Parnoll
was willing to retire on condition that
OBron woald be elected his SUCCESSOR,
the Irish patriot is said to have answered
after much hesitation:
II do not deny it, noe will Affirm. l
can only say that if it were true Mr.
Farrell had made such an offer, and L
were to accept it, my life would not he
spent on bed OF roses. The life Of i.
patriot fighting against odds for tho
benefit Of his country liz not the bright
ost and happiest, [ can assure You. Still,
nay life has been given to the cause, but
could not accept nor determine any
thing OF my own yoiitjon. Whatever
t,unspiros in an interview between Mr..
parnell and mysslf am bound tn CON
shit my friends before can accept any,
thing. For this reason you may snfeiy
Say shat the affair is not tn be s. tiled in
one nor in two meetings, though We may
arrive nearer an agreement after each
one. Absolutely no result was attained
;.t the last meeting; that ] can certify to
you"
As to Mr.. O'Brien's lead >rship, we are
OF The opinion that Notwithstanding the
fact that the Irish party ana the lr sil
ueople everywhere consider Mr.. O'brien
ny ono Of tho me,st unsellish and patri~
otto of men they would hardly be salts
fie,l to depose MCCARTHY at the diotation
or MIR. parnell and give O'Brien the post
OF leader. Mr.. O'Brien in Il subsequent
interview with the correspondent is re-
ported to have said that he had received
information which made him think TINT
il ia almost certain that the negotiations
would be satisfactorily concluded be-
tween himself and Parncll within two or
three weeks at the utmost. After the
treaty of peace is made he would surren
der himself to the British authorities to
serve his term OF incarceration, end
Dillon would remuin in America to re-
sumo his mission in beha of tn Irish
tenantry Later reports say that the
conference was again held lust Wednes"
day and that it was definitely agreed
upon that O'Brien was to take the place
Of Mccarthy and that the friends OF the
latter, including Dillon, were satisfied
with the arrangement.
We sincerely hope that peace will be
proclaimed between tho rival parties
and Chat they will once more fall into
line with Gladstone and go on together
to victory. This is Il consummation ear
nestly desired By severy friend OF the
Irish cause.

neer Of Darlington, Ky, WAS caught in
a railway wreck and his left lex was
badly mangled. His wounds were
dressed In such a manner that they
would not heal. Then the surgeons de-
clared that amputation was the only
resort, He went to Louisville, and at
Que of Che hospitals the same c0nclu-
sion was reached. While at the hos
pital he noticed in Pittsburgh news
paper an account OF tho cures wrought
by Father MOlliDger ON st. Anth0ny's
Day, aud he resolved to seek the priests
assistance, although he admits he had
little faith In the reports. His friends
opposed the trial, but he came TO Pitts
Durgh, and after taking Father Moilin.
gers medicine seven days, and recelv-
ing three blessings, he WAS cured. lie

in the event Of another Galway election
he would DO the same az he did in 1885,
to prove his belief in Mr.. Parnells hos.

He says further that he could bear wit

forlorn cause Of slave and showed her
self the true champion Of liberty, albeit,
according to the necessities Of times and
places, she did her work by measures
and degrees. We treated this question
carefully IN the letter we addressed the
9th OF May, 1883, to the Bishops Of
Brazil, in which we congratulated them
upon all that had been done, whether
by private persons or by the state, for
the liberation of the slaves, and set
forth the incompatibility OF slavery with
religion and with the dignity of man.
While writing that letter VIC were
deeply moved by tho condition Of all
those who ore the ohattels Of others,
but most especially were we affected by
the evils overwhelming the natives Of
certain regions in the interior Of Africa.
A most lamentable and most horrible
thing assuredly 1t III that, as we are IN
formed by indubitable testimony, more
than 400 900 Africans, without Justine.
ton OF age or sex. are every year torn
by violence from their villages, laden
with chains, overpowered with blows,
driven by long roads to the markets.
and there exposed and sold like cattle.
AS these facts have been artested by
eve witnesses, and confirmed by recent
explorers in Central Africa, we have
been moved with desire to snccor MS
far as it lies in our power these unfor-
tunates and to solace their miseries.
We owe thanks to our Lord, the low
ing kedeemer of all Nations that he has
not permitted our solicitude to DO ia
vain. but has wiIled that il should be al
seed sown on fertile ground, promising
happy harvest. For che rulers of the
people and the Catholics of the world,
all those, in fine, to whom the rights OF
men and the rights of nature are sacred,
We'd with each other in seeking the best
means for tho entire oxtlrpation Of this
inhuman traffic. Bat, besides our care
full protection of liberty. there lis another
soIloituele, and one moro closely bound

US watch over the propagation OF the
gospel IN the regions Of Afr,ca, that 1t
may enIigllten with divine truth the in
AAbitAnte OF these countries, seated Ia

Christ, penetrated 1uto those regions
