New York, March 3.—The Herald has an editorial comparing Parnell with Kearney, in which the following points are made: This worthy yoke of fellows in their trade of agitation have their points of resemblance and their points of difference, but so far as they differ we cannot see that Parnell has any advantage of the sand-lot orator. Parnell, having an American ancestry on one side, is only an Irishman of 14 carats fine; whereas Kearney is on the whole the more respectable character. Parnell has had greater advantages of education, but Kearney has more vigorous natural talents. He is altogether more apt, spicy and ingenious in his public addresses. In point of courage, we incline to think the palm belongs to Kearney, in spite of his partial change of position since the vigilance committee is threatened in San Francisco, and his recent posing in the attitude of a martyr.
