It gives tho tenants all the benefits by law which are already cou- ceded by Jandfords who treat their tenants fairly. Lt will therefore satisfy all who are Jaboring under real grievances.’ On many properties it will make no difference what- ever. On mine, for instance, I do not antici- pate that the Land Court will ever be called into requisition by either side. But the bill gives the people -a system of land tenure which they like, and which is more in ac- cordance with their habits and prejudices than uny other. ‘This is THE DIRECT BENEFIT conferred by the bill, On the other hand .there is the danger that landlords may hence- forth stand out for their strict legal rights, and that the generosity which on many estat as been shown to the people will be withheld. Many, I may say most, landlords haye dealt liberally with their ten- ants, They and their fathers before them have taken a perso of the tenantry, looked after cottages, assist- ed them in their difficultics, and honestly tried to promote their welfare. All that ma now be left to chance. Then youthink the just landlords. have been in the majority No doubt you remember that Mr, Glad- stone in introducing the bill said that the Jandlords had been put on their trial and ae- quitted: Harsh landlords few in num ber.” What about the farm laborers?

The bill will prevent the possibility of real injustice being done to them, and if they recognize that and are guided by a spirit of fair play there will be no trouble. Lf do not believe in the power of the Land League to maintain a general ¢ lendeavored to get an. amendment to the | strike against rents. People seem to sup, pose that the League can prevent any one from taking a farm from which a tenant has been removed, but land hunger in, Ireland too strong for that. Moreover, the landlords are betrer. organized than they were. You may see that from the proceedings of the Emergency Committee, whose agents attend le and see that the property Is not ruthlesty sacrificed. At the outset.of the agrarian troubles the landlords let things take their course, and did not attempt any made it possible to do so. The notorious fact thata number of the agitators live by agitation has convinced the Government that itcould not conciliate them by clemency so long asthe money lasted. \At the same time, there is a strong feeling among the Lib- srals that the time for repression is past, and that the Government would have done well to accompany the and bill with amnesty. it is suspected that the Leaguers will not facilitate the working pf the act. Archbishop Croke’s counsel to give the Land act a fair trial, while main- taining an attitude of observation, is consid- d reasonable, but is not likely to be ac- pted by the Leaguers. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT'S REF! to renew negotiations for a commercial treaty has created consternation in France. The theory of M.Tirard and other French Pro- tectionists was that England would be glad to accept any terms, and was only spinning put the negotiations to secure better condi- tions. M1. St Hilaire also insisted that En- gland couldbe forced into a corner and must submit. He was mistaken, and. has had to publish a note by the Havas News Agency designed to justify M. Tirard on the eve of the election, The plea pf illegality advaneed by the French Gov- ernment to justify its refusal to accord a prolongation of the treaty is considered here oben mere subterfuge. France evidently is entirely mistaken regarding England's po- sition, GLAND I$ NOT-HIGGLING FOR TERMS. Sheis determined to have good terms, as good as the Jast or none. An economic rup- ture would be inconvenient, but gland tan bear it. Her French trade is small in proportion to her entire commerce, while the failure to negotiate a treaty would be more injurious to France, and would be es- pecially disastrous to the Paris trade. Negotiations have been begun by the En- glish Foreign Office for a closer commercial union with Italy, Spain, and Portugal. Earl Granville’s policy is cordially commended by all parties without exception. Mr. Evarts’ visit creates much interest among the public men nowin London. He was warmly received, and has been in com- munication with leading nen. Mr.. Puleston, M.P., entertained him at dinner on Thurs- day, when an influential company met him. LORD DUNRAVEN AND THE LAND BILL. Lord Dunraven, who has taken so considera~ blea part in the discussions on the Irish Land bill, and his opinions are so much respected 8s representing the Jandlords .of the best class, was called upon by a reporter early this morning, as he was leaving Lon- don for Liverpool, whence he sailed for the United States to-day by the Seythia. Lord Dunraven expressed his perfeet willingness to give all the information at his command, an the following vonversation was had with bed : “What doyou think will be the probable effect of the bill? No doubt you have noticed that Mr. Gladstone expresses confidence that it will settle all the old grievances of Ireland “That is not the opinion of those who are best acquainted with Ireland. 1, voted for the Government throughout and aguinst all combined action. Henceforth THEY WILL ACE WITH ENERGY AND DE- TERMINATE in thwarting the League program. If the struggle continues, some landlords will be ruined, many impoverished, and all hit hard. But in a cotntry where land is so eagerly sought for the people will not be de- terred from taking it by the operations of the ple, or the reverse?” “I should sa many tenants, who more for their land th: get-out of it.

Instead of throw- ing away money in. quixotic attempts to re- claim irreclaimable bogs and rob the sea of its domain, Lhave urged the Government to encourage Irish industries. rt GLAND STAMPED THEM OUT, and England should restore them. That is the true way to make Ireland prosperous and contented. People who are willing to in- capital in woolen mills and other indus- should receive every assistance.and en- couragement. The money given for re- claiming waste lands would be far er employed in utilizing the waters of Lough Corrib, which Mr. Bright said should be a source of wealth to the people. ‘The bill does nothing in this direction. Give the people lucrative employment and you will do .more for them than the Land, League and all the agitators in the world will ever accomplish. It is a popular delusion that Ireland is, for its size, the rich- est agricultural country in the’ world, trie: and that the people should be put upon land. Look at the figures. Why, about one-fifth of the island is irrigable, and the remaining four-fifths of it can only be profitable as grazing land. The climate: is too moist for wheat, and the agitators who talk about seeing ev man the owner of ‘a million golden sheaves’ are. simply ranters,”?. THE MARVEST has been in jeopardy the past week in con- sequence of heavy rains and cold wind, but to-day the weather is bright and warm, and if this keeps up the crops will be saved, al- though not in first-class condition. _ A large area has been cut, and it has been steeping in the fields for five days. The yield will be above the average in quality, but itis thin and light, and the crop will be below the ay- erage. THERE IS NO REST FOR MR. GLADSTONE. Parliament will be prorogued on the 27th inst. if Messrs. Parnell and Liggar can be kept.down, and the Premier will at once be- gin to form his program for next session. Scotland, which has been treated shabbily this sessidn, will engage'a great deal of attention, but the measures will meet with no resistance in the House; tor, happily for Scotland, nobody outside of her borders kno’ nything about her peculiar institu- tions, Then tho Speaker and Sir Erskine May, .the Clerk of the Commons, will help. tho Premier in framing new rules for the House, and there is a multitude of small reforms waiting to be put inte ship- shape. The great measures of the next ses- sion, however, will be the asshnilation of the borough and county franchise and a bill for THE REDISTRIBUTION OF SEATS, The latter is demanded by the Radical ele- ment, which sees a way of striking at the House of Lords by abolishing tho. small bor- oughs, and so destroying the influence of the “ territorial dynasties,” as Sir Charles Dilke used to call the old families in his ad days, The Premier, however, took strong grounds against the boroughs: after his rout in 1874, and it is understood that he will bring down a sweeping measure on the subject. By the way, the Squires, who used to consider Mr. Gladstone as capable of any crime, even shooting a fox, have a better opinion of him sinee he stood between his angry followers and the House of Lords: THE LONDON S) 2 isdead.

To the Western Axsoctated Press. Lonpox, Aug. 20.—in the House of Com- mons last night, during the debate on the vote for the salary of the Chicf Secretary for Ireland, Parnell said he thought Forster was more detested by alarge body of the Irish people than any of his predecessors on ac- count of the mode in which he adininistered not only the Coercion act but the general Jaw of the country, With rezard to tne fut- ure, he said if the Land bill brought about a substantial abatement of rent the trish peo- ple, he thought, would make the best of it, and would use it as an instrument for the at- tainment of a complete land reform. Dawson, Redmon, and Barry, Irish mem- bers, joined in condemning Forster ‘in lan- guage more or less ‘strong, Barry declaring that Forster’s name was held in exeeration, and that he had worked the Coercion act to stile the Land League. . CROWN PROSECUTIONS CRITICISED. Ona vote for law changes and the cost of criminal prosecutions, Parnell severely criti- the recent Crown prosecutions in Ire- land, and Healy and others sharply attacked the conduct of the Irish stipendary magis- trates, THE ISI ESTIMATES have been disposed of with the exception of five items. Among these is the vote for the Constabulary. DAVITT’S 1 attention to the rearrest of Michael Day and moving for his release from imprison- ment, said it was currently believed that Davitt was arrested because he called Forster “ Mr. Outrage Forster,” in a speech. Parnell said it was the meanest and most eontemptible act ever committed by any Gov- ernment. Marcourt, Home ‘Secretary, justified the arrest of Davitt. Ne said Davitt had re- turned to Ireland as an avowed Fenian, and used language which no Government in the world could tolerate, -The Homme Seeretury incidentally stated that he had often v: tried to obtain a disavowal of Feni from the Irish members of the House who supported the Land League. He intimated that they could not disavow the views of these who are supplying the funds from America. In the House of Commons this afternoon Parneil’s motion for the release of Davitt was defeated—02 tu 19, SUPPLY. ‘The House then resumed the consideration of business in Committee of Supply.

NING THE: LAW. ‘The official Gazette says: “ As the artificial agitation against the law for Papal guarantees continues, the Govern- ment deems it expedient to make a frank statement of views to dissipate illusions and uncertainty. The Government respeets the right of public mecting and petition, but considers it has the right to inter- fere with meetings which degenerate into iilegal proceedings and jeopardize public order and international relations. The Government is firmly resolved to fully and effectively protect the Pope’s security and the independence of his spiritual sovereign- ty, while at the same time resisting all ef- croachments on the unity and sovereignty of the nation. The Goyernment disapproves and deplores the recent meetings, because they were prejudicial to the country’s supreme’ interests. It also declares it will maintain the Jaw of Papal guarantees. ‘Ihe statement will thus con- form to the declarations made in 1876, that Papal guarantees, though belonging to the order of internal questions, and spontane- ously emanating from the national will, Nave nevertheless taken their place among organie laws, whose efficacy depends on their stability, not on the consent or accept- ance of another.” é RANCE. THE APPROACHING ELECTION. ‘Special Cable. Panis, Aug. 20.—The nearer we draw to the hour of the general election the clearer it grows that the reactionary parties—Monarch- ists of all shades, Bonapartists, Legitimists, and Orleanists, together with their al- lies the- Clericals—are on the eve of a great and perhaps irretrievable defeat. Of the 197 anti-Republican candidates who have had the courage to tempt fortune once again at the polls, not half will probably be elected. The new Chamber, we may therefore suppose, will be almost entirely composed of three great groups,—Moderate cr Conservative Re- publicans, Progressist or Gambettist 1epub- licans, and Radicals; but in what exact proportion the groups may be represented it is of course quite impossible to foretell. Judging from a perusal of the list of candi- datés supported by the Republique Fran- caise and the Gambettist Committee in the Rue De Suresnes, M. Gambetta feels less sure of his own group, the Progressionists of the Union Republicaine, CARRYING ALL BEFORE IT than he did a week ago. It will be seen on examination that most of the Republican members who sat in the last Chamber figure on the list. Even his arch-enemy, Cle- menceau, from transparent motives, is not excluded. ‘The Itauicals, on the other hand, have somewhat prematurely assumed the airs of victors. The Moderates of the Left Centre and Republican Left are the most honest of the groups, and it may possibly be found to be difficult, if not impos- sible, after all that nas happened lately, for M. Gumbetta. to elude the responsibilities of his ‘position much longer. Whether he willor no, he may be forced to assume office’ or’ lose his prestige and influence with the country. ‘The chiet interest of the election will, of course, centre in Belleville, where the Radi- candidates, MM. Tony Revilion and ismund Lacroix, appear to have a fair chance of carrying at least one of the two seats, THE DAMAGES CLAIMED BY SPAIN. To the Western «Associated Press. Panis, Aug. 20.—The reply of Spain in regard to the claim for indemnity for dam- ages suffered by Spanish subjects by the re- cent raid at Saida, recognizes the expediency of entertaining the Spanish claims, not so much on international law as on considera- tions of mutual friendship and humanity. Spain expresses the hope that the matter may ba speedily settled, and the bonds of friendship between France and Spain there- by knit closer.

It appears from the quiet preparations the Socialists have been making, that they, al- though unlikely to return more than six members to the’Reichstag, will muster suf ficient strength to necessitate a number of second ballots, and, failing to elect their own candidates, will be more disposed to support the Conservatives than the Liberals.as the former are willing to vote tor Bismarck’s semi-Socialist id J SAN DOMINGO.

Raid on Dr. Mulcahy at the Ogden - Grove Picnic. ASlap at the “Taffy” in the Speech Delivered by Senator Jones, The Land Bill Calculated to Break Down the Influence of. Parnell. -Ithaving come to theearof a Tripuse reporter that there was a slight disturbance on the platform at the Land League picnic at Ogden’s Grove Monday, while Dr. Do ling Muleahy was speaking, he set to work to asvertain the cause of the unpleasantness referred to,and found that it was largely due to the hostility of certain parties who were more or less mixed up in the Palmer House Irish Convention here, and to the machinations of two at least of the paid agents of the skirmishing fund, against the Trustees of which Dr. Mulcahy has entered suit in the New York courts, that they may be obliged to show what they have done with the $92,000 which credulous and overpatriotic Irish- men contributed for Irish National pur- poses. Itis well Known among Irish N oni here that Mr. John Devoy and his friend John O'Connor were in this city on the day of the picnic. By the w affected mystery and did not want to be known, but this was the merest o! tense. Neither of the gentlemen is important enough to attract much attention, and both have attained notoriety, not fame, by their blatancy.—if the expression may be pet- mitted,—and by their rather questionable conduct in reference to the skirmishing fand and Jrish National matters generally. The agents of these ‘* patriots ”—soi-disunt pa- triots—were a half-iledged alleged lawyer, a very intense young man, and a sec ond alleged lawyer, who has been dancing tw German-Irish-Polish music by turns in order to get a case and some degree of prominence. In order to tind out the true inwardness of the affair the reporter sought Dr. Muleaby pefore his departure for the Enst. He found him a most pleasant, courteous gentleman, and cer- tainly tho best intormed man ‘of ‘the Irish patriots he has yet met. ‘The Doctor was quite free to tall his opinions. Me did not_ know who caused the disturbance on the platform, but he had been Informed that it was the work of Devoy and O'Connor, and their agents or dupes in Chi- eugo. BYeny" anid Mr. Mulcahy, “J told the man- agers of the affair that | was colng to Wilk us 1 felt, to speak my own convictions, whether it would plense the meeting and the wanayers or not. 1 was not going to talk to picase the peo- ple, that wus not my purpose, and I do not think itshould be either the purpose or the nim of any honest Irishman. ‘The Irish people have been flattered, bamboozled, misled too long. When I find au [risnman who bas attained to the distinction of Unttod States Senator called on to. lecture tou mass-mecting of the Irish peuple, to speak woras of counsel and fnstruction, words of warning, to plant thegerms of thought; when I tind such aman pandering ta the t setting sin of the race—vanity; when | find him repeating THE STALE PLATITUDES, and the vapid nonsense of bumbug patriots and bread-and-butter politicians about the great- ness and glory of the Irish race, telling them that they excelled In urms and arts, in liters~ ture and science; when [tind that Wellington and Napoleon are held up to adimiranon, L ex- pect to heur Castlereash und Keogh referred to iu eulogistic terms; when I bear the agitators praised to the echo, while the Irish rebels like ‘Toue, and Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and Emaict, ana Davis, and Mitchel pussed oyer in siience, 1 couceive it my duty as an Irisbuian to protest— to tell the pcople—who are in the main honest and putriotic—that they ure being misted.” “But, Doctor, you have been accused of at- tacking the Land Leasue?” “Tbave censured tho Land-League lenders, and I think they have been deserving of cen- sure. I know the Land Leugue tus done good. Jt hns forced the Irish lundtords to reduce their rents.

But, notwit! standing the. opportunity the leuders of the movewent have bad, they have done nothing for the education of the people, and the people are sadly lacking in political education. With tno exception of Mr. Heaty’s pamphlet, it has dono nothing, absolutely nothing, toeducate the people in their rights, m the doctrines of polit- ieal ecouomy and political science; and then, again, the lenders aave tiken credit to them- selves for tho advanced opinions of the, people. That is unfatr and unjust. Everybody knows who bas studied the history of the past twenty years in Ireland that it {sto the Feniua movement that the advanced national opinions of Ireland are due; and,” sud Dr. Mulcuby, “it makes my pluod boil to bear self-styled ndvanced Nation- atists, whd have decried the Fenian movement all their lives, step forward now und claim eredit for what Jumes Stepbens, Jobn O'Leary Luby and the Iria People newspaper hut and tt is trebdly annoying to tnd a p Devoy, who pleaded guilty to the charge of treason-felony in order to cet off with a light sensence, mouth treason against England at at distance of 3,40) miles, recant it the following day,—and thon set himself up as a lender of the Irish people,—and such fellows, intriguants by nature and experience, are cuuntenanced and supported by hgnest men who ought to know better. It would scem that the ruce of tho patriots is ended when Devoy, Breslin, and Pat- rick Ford nttempt to fill, the places of Davis and Mitebel, and Meagher.” : What dotnink, Dr. Mulcaby, of the Irish Lana bill?” “It 1s perfectly worthless. but it will have, to some extent, the effect which its authors fn- tended, It will break the power of Purnell and the Land Leagne in Ireland.

Tudvised the farmers to net as they had been acting, to defy the law, to burn the Coercion aet publicly, and to dare the Government to arrest them. Mr. Parnell repre- sented that 500,04 persons in Ireland were starv- i Now these 500,40 persons would be much better off in the prison thuo in the waorkbouse. Why did they not act up to their talk? Why did they not zo to prison? Now: they have neither the spirit of revolutionists norof men. And yet these people have decn flattered, —tald thoy were the tnest pensantry in the wor They have been represented us a race of orators, warriors, and all that nousense. “is time to tell them the truth.” ““Whut is your opinion of the Land bill?” © Why, it is perfectly worthless. It is absurd to fix a rent this year for the ensuing fifteen years, in view of American competition, which iscontinually growing, and in view of the ¢: haustion of the drish soll, which is oing on at a rapid pice. Ag a proot of what I suy.— and whit I huve to offer applies to Great Britain as weil as lreland—let me quote trom tho Britich Quarterly Review for 18c3. It says: * in 1841 the wheat crop of the United Kingdom fed 24,000,000 out of 235,000,000 of the population at six bushels per bead per unum. In 1si1 the wheat crop did not feed quite 130 ‘OUE Of 35,000,000 of the population.” Now the question is nut how much beef, or mutton, or mn has ruised in price, but bas the total value of the agricultural products diminished since 181. Tho estimated value of the Irish crop iu that year was $25,000,000. It was reduced to $215,000.00) In 1551, to £175,000,000 In 1861, and ‘Thom‘s Almunac es- timates the valacin Iéi1_ at $16,000.
