THE IRISH PARTY.

[Special to Peess Association.] T.ONDON, Dec. 15. Mr Parnell -will possibly be prosecuted for damaging property in the office of United Ireland. Mr Healy declared that Mr Parnell is trying to destroy the green flag of Ireland and replace it by Mrs O' Shea's petticoat, emblazoned " Escaped." He further states that Mr Parnell in 1886 forced Captain O'Shea into the House of Commons as the member for G-alway at the price of his wife's shame. Sir John Pope Hennessy and Mr Vincent Sculley are the only candidates nominated for the Kilkenny North seat. The Neio United Ireland has been suppressed, but United Ireland is published as usual. The statement that the Limerick bank had refused to cash the League's cheques in favour of evicted tenants is denied. Dec. 16. The seceders from Mr Parnell claim to be in possession of a full statement of the League accounts for the last ten years. Messrs Dillon and O'Connor have isßued a manifesto urging that the Tenants' Fund should be disbursed apart from politics. The Catholics of Kildysart the church when Mr Parnell was denounced from the pulpit. It is considered unlikely that the seceders will publish the League accounts, but they repudiate the assertion that they compromise Mr Parnell. Mr Stephens, who was announced as a candidate for the North Kilkenny seat, has withdrawn.
