Received Jan. 6th, 4.5 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 5.

Eugene Cream, member of the House of Commons, openly espoused Mr. O’Brien’s cause, and the Southeast Cork Branch of the Irish League resolved to heartily approve of his faithful support of Mr. Sheehan in his battle against Bossism.

Mr. Cream, in a speech thanking the Branch, charged Mr. John Dillon with breaking his pledges. He accused Mr. John Redmond of mal-ad-ministration of the party’s funds. He referred to Mr. O’Donovan, the Irish delegate, gathering money in America and Australia through preaching O’Brien’s policy there, while denouncing and trying to crush O’Brien at home. That was dishonest, and the sooner it/was exposed the sooner the party would be rid of the rottenness that has crept in.

A previous cablegram stated:—Mr. Sheehan has been re-elected unopposed for Mid-Cork. At the declaration of the poll yesterday, he said the election would free the Irish party from the narrow despotism which was rendering it useless for any great national purpose. Mr. William O’Brien, stated that Mr. Sheehan intended to take legal proceedings which would lead to revelations of greater public interest than anything since the Parnell Commission.

Mr. Sheehan was ousted from the Nationalist Party recently, and liis salary from the party funds stopped. He resigned his seal for Mid-Cork and sought re-election. Mr. O’Brien fstPar? 11 r tC3St frbm thG Hationaltbo ltf eCaUSS ° f his ob J' e e«°n to the extreme views of its members

could no longer hold Mass on a Sun day, oxcept under police inspoctioi and under the threat of having pen nlties hanging over them, althougl they had been holding Mass for 160( years. Except in the timo of the French Revolution, they woro free tc go to Mass in any manner they liked. What was taking place to-day was done in the name of tho law, but he would say that the law was against reason and against the rights of God and of Christianity. However regularly that law might bo voted, it was an unjust law, and he would not have it come to Australia without a challougo that any Parliament was entitled to make any law it pleased, irrespective of the rights of God, or of the rights of the people. There was another cry which he was afraid had proved deceptive to many. “Let the Church and let the State be separated,” they said. Tho Catholics said the same thing. As far as the proper sphere of tho Church and of the Stato was concerned, they said. “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and I give to God what belongs to God.” I But in Franco separation meant sup- I pression. It meant ns far as tho I people were concerned, .extinction. I Ever since the war of 1850 there had I been plotting and plotting, especially I in Belgium, Franco and Italy, against I Catholicity in every shape and form. I In Australia people should keep in I mind that Divine Providence recognised for the benefit of mankind two I great principles. One was the State, I which should provide for man’s lib-1 erty and security, and jirogress. The other was the Church, which should I '

teach man his duty, and help him to keep upright and virtuous. Those w ere the two great departments of Divine Providence—tho Church and the State. Let it never be forgotten that if in Australia public opinion was democratic and liberal, so was the opinion which everyone religiously held to as a member of the Catholic Church. They gave every man liberty to profess what faith he pleased, and to practice that faith. They j should specially remember that they were the main body of Christendom. Therefore their words should receive I some weight. There were fully 230,000 who were united in this prin- I ciple—the principle which formed our I present civilisation—and the vigour of this principle was necessary in or- I der that their civilisation should con- I tinue. Let them have liberty of j

every kind, and harmony between Church and State. They should praj that Catholics of France remain faithful, and exercise their political rights, and be properly represented in Parliament. Australians should take a lesson from the experience of France, end see that their legislators made laws which were just to religion and to the community. “Don’t mind what any man says,” said the Archbishop, in conclusion. “Cook at his works, and at the works of the party to which he belongs. If that party does not embrace in its policy man’s interest here and hereafter, and is against religion: in the schools, down with that man, whoever he is. Cut off your right hand before you give him your vote.” JURY-ROOM SCANDAL. SYDNEY, Jan. 5.
