The Parnell Case.

[Pbess Association.] London, December; 2. At the meeting of the Irish Party yesterday, Mr Parnell declared that no

member of the Gladstone Party was to be trusted and Mr Gladstone himself was * garrulous old gentleman. Mr Parnell •ceased a certain section,including Sexton and Healey, of conspiracy with Labouobere and G. Stuart to bust him fromj the leadership.' In the course of bis remarks he accused Mr Gladstone of provoking the present situation of affairs, and called him a " Leader killer" and one who |had ■tabbed the late Isaac Butt in the back. The Irish leader admitted be had erred in keeping the pledge he made to Gladstone and not revealing / the Ha warden . . proposals* to bis colleagues, but he said that the party had verbally agreed to decline Home Kule for Ireland on the basis sketched at Hawardeo. The meeting was <•■ attended by seventy-four members. ■ Archbishop Croke denies having made use of the statement that Parnell's morals were a matter between himself and his Protestant Bishop. , Parnell's friends in Dublin are confid- , ent that the leader will come out of the present trouble triumphantly. The London League have unanimously declared in favor of ParneU. v 1 The branches at Glasgow and Liver pool are considering the matter, but many leading branches in Ireland are in favor of Parnell retaining the leadership. Mr Parnell's speech at the meeting of the Irish Party to-day was very passionate, and as he disallowed any reference to be made to the recent divorce proceedings, this lead to a series of hot encounters be- * tween Parnell and Healey and others. December 3. Mr Parnell's supporters are daily increasing in Ireland and America. The adherents of Mr Sexton fear further defections from their ranks. There was no new development at to-day's meeting of the member?, and proceedings were adjonrned till to-morrow, when it is hoped a compromise will be accepted, if Mr Gladstone gives certain pledges.

Later.; : After continual and bitter wrangling, Mr Parnell declares himself fully satisfied. Claney will to-day submit a resolution as to Parnell's temporary retirement. The Standard says there are 53 in favor of his retiring, and 33 against. At the meeting of the Irish members yesterday the proceedings were of an excited nature. The delegates' manifesto was cheered. Mr Healy complained that Parnell's friends were obstructive. ParneJ, in a passioo, replied that the remark was insolent, at which there was some cheering. Mr Gladstone is convening a meeting of the Liberal party. : Parnell dominates the meeting of the Irish members, and his bold aDd brilliant tactics for the purpose of securing delay, and enabling the Irish people to influence his party, extort admiration from his opponents. .. „.<""'! Excited meetings ; have been held in Cork, at which cries were raised of •••• '.Gladstone is a slippery devil," and both Gladstone and Morlev were hissed. ; The partisans of Parnell shouted " To hell with Dillof, O'Brien, and Davitt." j The Dublin National League is almost unanimous in favor of Parnell A priest seconded a vote of confidence io him. \ i Ghicako, December 2. : Mr Harrington, ■< secretary of the National League, is at Chicago organising a strong support for Pornell. Many Irishmen threaten they will never subscribe again unless Parnell is retained in com maud. ;
