Mr Redmond and the Land League.

(To the Editor of the STAR.) Slii, - I think it would only be fair of you to publish tho following, if but to make amends to your readers for the vindictive remarks of your London correspondent, in his and his M.P. friends, efforts to dispar age Mr Kedmond's mis.ion.—Yours, &c, Henry Hartnell

THE HUSH LAND LEAGUE AND THE PHOENIX PARK ASSASSINS.

'{To tht Editor of the "Sydney Morning Herald,"

Si.,—l notice with regret that au at tempt has been made to connect the late land League with the men now in custody in Dublin, charged with the horrible d-' sassination in the Phrtnix Park, Tbis connection is sought to bs established by the statement that the informer Carey was a. member of the League, and that the money Was supplied to an assassination Committee by the Land League organisa tion. .... -,

Will you allow mo to state i Ist. That I know horn personal knowledge that' Carey and his associates Were never members of the Itiah National Land League. On Uie contrary, I believe them to be connected with a body of men of well-known hos'ility to every constitutional movement, _—d. 'Ihat before I lett Europe an audit Of the Land League funds had just been completed by th cc gentlemen ol eminent position and character, and that every pound sub .ciibed to the fund from tho commence ment of the movement had been satis factorily accounted for. This' di.poaes al-o of the statement, equally absurd, that £100,000 of the funds aro mis-iDg. The one great effect of the Plicouix Park murders | was to damage tin Land League and its ' leaders, who, having just recovered their libcity, wero pledged to promote the tranquility of tbe enntry. Will you allow mo to remind the public that within 24 hours after the murder tho Land League issued a manifesto denouncing the crime, and calling upon the lii.h people *to apprehend the murderers. This document was signed by Charles S. Parnell, John Dillon, and Michael Uavitt, and concluded with the following words s—" We earnestly hope that the attitude and action of the Irish people will show to the world that an assassination such ns has startled us almost to the abandonment, of hope of our country's future ls deeply and religiously apparent to their every feeling and fcutinct.,. We appeal to you to show by every manner of expression that,; amidst the universal feel ing of horror which tho assassination has excited, no people feel so deep a detesta tion of i's atrocity, or so deep a sympathy wi.h those whose hearts must be seared by it, an the nation upon whose prosperity aid reviving hopes it may entail con sequences more ruinous than those that have fallen, to tbe lot of unhappy Ireland duting the present generation. We feel tbat no act has ever been perpetrated in our country during the excitiogsmuggles of the pa. 150 years « hich ba. > o stained the name of iio-pltable Ireland as this cowardly aud unprovoked astas—nation of a friendly stranger, and that nntil the murderers of Lord Cavendish and Mr Burke are brought to justice that stain will sully our country's name."

This mant'esto wns circulated throughout tbo country, snd large sums were sub scribed by Land League branches iv Ireland and America as rewards for the capture of the murderefi'.

As I shall have an opportunity on to morrow evening of addressing the public, I will reserve for that occ.s:on the correction of some other serious mis.ta,!ement made by. you and other colonial journalists'con cerning the principle* which 1 hold-and the object of my visit to Australia, -I am, &c., J. E, KEDMOND.

February, 21, 18S3,

[Mr Redmond's mere denial by no means gets rid of facte. We do not, and cannot believe that ho or Mr Parnell had any com plicity ia the perpetration of outrages, least of all in ths Phoenix Park assassinations— though it remains to be seen whether other persons connected with the Land League are equally innocent. For our own* part, wc hope the League will be able to purge its name thoroughly of the stigma that bas been cast upon it by the disclosures mado in the investigations repotted by cable. But even so, that will not render it the less true that the G.ad ftone Government, afrcr exercising won derful forbearance, had to suppress the League in order to restore the peace^of the country, nor docs it mitigate tbe inference that is to bo diawh from the committal only last month of Michael Davitt, the-bunder of the old League and the moviDg spirit of the new one, to prison f.r six months for seditious utterances;, nor tho other fact that Mr .Redmond's | biother is also ' a fugitive from his ; country for inciting the people to revo ution. It is tho agitationthey arccarrying on which the people of theso colonies are now asked Ito support with their money. With regard to tho deficiency in the Land League funds, Mr Kedmond- assurances are equally un satisfactory. Te-day'a cable messages speak 1 of the rumoured disappearance of Egan, the Land League treasurer. But without paying 1 aoy attention to this report, we bave conclu sive evidence tbat Mr jttcdinond _ statement is, to say tho least, inlbleading. He would have people believe that the question of deficit was all disposed of before he left Eng land. &o w, Mr Kedmoii d left London in December, yet we find .the controversy about deficit going on unabated in* the Irish papers by the San fraocisc-i'maiL The Dublin correspondent •of tho London ." Times," writing on January 10th, says :— "The Land.League funds are again the subject of a keen and characteristic, corres pondence between Mr Pigottj former pro prietor of the " Irish—an," and Mr Patrick -.nan. It began with, a letter from Mr Pigott, commenting'ibpou oho by ;Mr Egan to the ". Irish. World," which had com plained that iho funds collected by' that journal for the relief of distress In Ireland had been: applied to electioneering and other purposes. Mr Egan repudiated the.cb.arg6, and alleged that, with the exception of £2000, hone of the money had been so ex pended. Mr Pigott thereupon' wrote a caustic letter, in wiit—Che' reminded the public that Mr Egan had positively denied, when he himself brought a similar charge, that a 'single permy1 had been* spent for such a purpose, Ho treated Mr Egau's ap parent admission as a confirmation of the charge, at the same time exptessing a belief that a much larger sum than was admitted had been misapplied, Mr Egan, in reply, characterises Mr Pigott's letter as *a vain attempt to whitewash himself by repeating his Jbtato slanders against the mem bers of the Parliamentary party,' and by misrepresenting Mr. Parnell and Mr Egan himself. He quotes a passage from a letter ot Mr Pißotvs, written in .March, 1881, in which he stated that he had re ceived a copy of accounts, purporting to be those of the Land -League, which he had been offered £500 to publish In^the " Irish man." : There wero sums amounting to nearly £70,000, which, it was alleged, had not•' been accounted for, while various amounts had been paid to members of Parliament. Mr Pigott went on to.say ■that he had reason. to 'suspect' that'fhe people at Dublin Castle were the prime movers in the matter, and; then added :— " To come to the point, therefore, I am'in desperate straits, I must have some money somehow, or throw up the sponge at once. I cannot afford to let so lucky a chance pass of saving myself literally from ruin. No matter what the consequences are, I must aud will take this offer unless you come to my assistance. 1 WiU close with these people, send you the full* amount I owe you, piint the thing, and await events, un less you will stand by me. All I want Irom you is the temporary loan of £300, Surely you can manage that. It may be difficult, but it is to be done, I know, per fectly well. 'I his will leave me in peifectly smooth water, and I wUI take no further notice of the other fellows."

" Mr Egan states that ho of course refused the £300, but Mr PigoU did not then pub lisufhe Castle set of -and League accounts, but reserved them. In a postcript he asks, —'Would Mr Pigott's fiiends, Lady Flor ence Dixie and the (Jastle people, believe that immediately before the National Con ference tbis man wrote to Mr Parnell beg ging ior an interview, and that just five days ago, on the eve of tbe present.month, he had the barefaced audacity to write to me to solicit an'appointment on the staff ofthe " Itisbman, and nskiDgfor the favour ot an interview?"'

1 Mr Pigott returns to the attack to-day, charges Mr Kgaawilh publishing garbled extracts from private and confidential letters, and says : -'Thereis notau allega tion contained in these '"extracts- wbichsub sequent disclosures and the admissions and confessions of himself and friends have not m.re amply and perfectly confirmed. It was said that members of [Patliament had been paid for their services and expense?, and that the bulk of the money was kept t*i suit our Parliamentary agitation, The first statement is now admitted to be literally true, and the last is p*-r.tly admitted. Surely the £32,000 is held in band for no other apparent purpose —it should, in ta;t. (hare been long since

spent in sustaining ihe victims of the '• N rent" manifesto, had it been honestly S° ministered and expended in m-»/W' with the intention of thfpeoMfe scribed it.' He Pays he his made aco ." b' tion .torn the public papets of ___£~. cc' evicted tenants asking for as^istaace Jm2 were received and disregarded at th. r . League office, slihough there were fori-*. Mr Egan _ disposal. "it was a so S _' denied that £10 000 had been m^nf 1 ptiatcd for the Earmeis' Fund bnt w Egan's account places this beyond Lv The accounts referred to In the letter tn-t Kgao, fton. which he took extracts » not, Mr Pigott says, prepared by the Cutt 8 people, as Mr Egan tries to make out aZ were drawn up by some of Mr Egan'a ■ ill contented pals, who were not in the s»l > No accounts havo been pubM.d f*\ alt-, ekCept some totals by Mr p. in his letter of resignation ot ik* treasurership, and certain figures stm-ii ? by him have been tottedTp, SgS! result, so far as publicly known,'that ili is a small trifle of £100,000 or so Vet _M accounted for. He does not tee what <tt Castle has to do with all this' bat-' .« there ai'e any politicians who have i.Bd'iii, attheCa.tle it surely must be' Pat -o_r and his pals -or rather tbeir nn__u, SS Parnell.

Be is therefore i§t ', ■ much of a Castle man as any other liii politician, and, bat -for the exeWof'l! uiiluence as such/ Mr Pigott' belkv "the couragious Egan would * not S ventured to return to his native l__d " 1 the story goes, the valiant Egatf J_ reasonably suspected of complicity in» tain iinancial transactions hot ua'cbonecbi with the exhilarating pastime, _ 0 m l"r favour with Leaguers, of ''moonlightiw'' ami, according to a London pap.?

"The controversy is an instt-ct-reone for the people who have been ac-fist-med to follow the guidance of such tri_»fei leaders." , ;:,
