Deputy, Dec. i —The time yas now ar rived when some estimate may be made of the manuer in whiclt Ireland 1s affected by the Land Court decisions, by the suppression of the Lund League, and the promulgation of the “no-rent”? manifesto. In order to arrive ata fair and accurate statement of the condition of the country your correspondent thls week sent outa serles ot questions bear- ing upon those important events to numer- ous gentlemen living inall parts of the coun- uy who haye exceptional means of observa- tion. ARREARS. ‘The great question of arrears looms up on a black cloud in the alstance, Reduce rents as the Commissioners may, the landlords nre entitled to arrears, and intend to collect them if possible, If the tenants pay arrears ac- cording to the Lahd act—that is, by install- ments from year to year—this payment will make up the rent to about. the fig- ure before reduction, so that practical. jy the rents of such tenants will be unchanged for many years to come. If dey don’t pay arrears the fandlords will evict. Upon this question the veace and quietude of the country will largely depend during the coming winter. ai ‘The Land Com- joners have now been. sitting for several wks, and independent observers and those interested have searched minutely for some indication of the principle upon. which re~ duetions are made; but search is fruitless und explanations unsatisfactory. After care- ful study of the Commissioners’ methods I am convinced they are not proceeding upon any independent principles at all, They are siniply reducing rents to Grifith’s Govern- ment valuation. The basis of Griflith’s val- uation was fixed by actof Parliament, but now the only maxi Jaid down is the “live and thrive” theory, thouzh tenantson minute holding of Mayo, Galway, Donegal, etc., could not thrive if the: id no rent at all, DISORDEUS. . Another fact to be tearned from 100 reports below is that the arrest of the leazue Ieuders and the suppression of the’Ieague has only temporarily stopped the outrages, which are beginning again, while the payment of rent hhas been only. slightly accelerated. The great result of the Government's measures hhas been to practically remove the check put upon the tenants to prevent them applying to the Lend Court, Intimidation continues even now and is increasing. Mardiy aday passes that sume one is not shot at or some outrage committed. ‘Che spyech of Lord M . Lord-Lieutenant of Dublin and Privy Councilor at the Castic, delivered this week to the Dublin magistrates, is regarded by some asa. warning that the Government is on the point of uslnz more stringent meas- ures; but this is not likely at this juncture, Attention isnow turned to the Derby elec- tian, where the Liberals’ Irish policy is ou trial. The Land-Leaguers are giving the authorities much trouble, however, as the Fenian elements in them are forming in various parts of the country under other names as wellasin Dublin. Of a score of league branches in Dublin eight’ were ¥eniau organizations pure and simple. These are daily reforming—last night asa franchise association, two nights before as a home manufacture society; but the Government do not fear secret societies, as it can always buy an aceount of their doings. Jt was an open conspiracy Jike the league from which they bad most to fear. THE QUESTIONS. The questions submitted by the Herald cor- Tespondent were as follow: 1. Are the rents in your district being paid to a greater extent than before the suppress- ion of the Land League? 2 Are the mass of the people standing - outagainst paying without reduction, as be- fores e? . What are'considered the prospects as to rent-paying during the winter ? 4. Are many tenauts going into the Land Court,and whut is the genera! feeling toward the court? 5, With regard to the great landlords in your neighborhood, can you give an idea how varticular ones are getting rents and to splat extent their tenants are using the Land 6. Has the Government's action been bene- ficial as verards outrages, boycotting, and general peace? 7. Are there likely to be many evictions this winter, and are they likely to be of 2 character which may lead to collisions? S. Did the * no-rent” manifesto have any effect? 9. Orare the refusals to pay rent ma the old Hines of demanding a reduction 40, Are reductions In rent by the laudlords being made to any extent? H. Do you think the winter will be marked by the “ bad work ” predicted? COUNTY MAYO, * My informants here are a police official, two land-arents, at ex-suspect, several priests and magistrates. They agree that Fents are little, if at all, more generhily paid thun before the suppression of the lengue. The mass of the people are standing out for reduction before. paying their rent. ‘The prospects of amore general payment are not very favorable unless the court greatly low- ets rents. The large arrears standing, coupled with the poverty of the people and the teaching of the league, injure the pros- pect The tenuxts are going ito the Land. Court in large numbers, zuing in- wholesale on several estates, All expect considerable - reductions by landlords in Mayo, but mostly on smaller estates, such ns that of Lord Kilmafne, George Brown, ex-mem- ber of Parliament; Thomas ‘Tighe, and Col, Cutt but on the mouster estates of Lords Sligo, Dillon, and Lucan, and Sir Roger Palmer and Sir Robert Blosse, there have been no reductions. ir ten- auts wil largely apply to the court. It is expected that their rental will be heavily re- duced. ‘The suppression of the league has been benenclal in checking boycotting aud outrages, Few evictions ate expected. All axree Unat the no-rent manifesto had littie or noeffect, and the- slight sensation it had is passing away. All refusals to-pay rent are on the old Hines of demanding reductions or awaiting the decisions of the Land Commis- sions, Police, Jand agents, and landlords hove and are inclined to predict qujeter Umes this-winter than. last, but others say it Janalords want. to get their rents or arrears by force they will ‘be met by resistance and obstruction of the usual kind, besides Hkeli- hood of revenge being taken in the shape ot shooting outrages. It is hoped that the heavy reductions of rent at Ballina in this county, Will to a great exteut pacify the tenants. counTY GaLWay. Aly informants in usis Inrze county are in Galway Towa, Tuam, Cittden, Woodford. and Headford, whic are towns In different quarters. Replies from ‘each are practically the same as regards material poluts. ‘The payment of rents remains where it was be Jore the suppression of the learue—the mu- jority not pare some paying if they geta reduction...

Nearly allareanxiouste try It. “They all expect heavy reductions. Nothing less will satisfy them. If they are not given this the act mightas well have nut beep passed as far as Connaushtis concerned. All my in- formants agree that the suppression ot y the league checked boycotting ie degree, =The _Govern- toa e ment’s action was generally beneficial for some time, but outrages have not been re- pressed. Many evictions are not expected at present. ‘The landlords are waiting for the action of the land courts, but the collection of arrears may lead to forcible evictions In jhe end. ee norent man icestoy it i asreet, had no effect, though, as one of my inform- ants writes, g Davitvs creed was the abolition of Jandlorélismi, aud that rent was an immoral thing. The manifesto, therefore, was only an omMeial teaching of what had long been unofilelally taught.” The ground for tho re- fusal to pay rent in Galway is simply inabil- ity to pay. Outrages are not apprehended in e eastern quarter of Galway, but over the chief parts itis certain that the coming winter will be unguiet.and marked by many inis- deeds. ‘The minds of the poople are dis- turbed. ‘Ihe hatred felt for landlords’ agents is palpable. COUNTY NONAGHAN. Affairs are improving here, ‘The tenants are only standing out ou a few properties for the sauie reduction given lust year, which was refused. © The Land Court is approved. Great numbers are applying to it The suv- pression of the feazue had a salutary effect. The *ny-ceut” manifesto fyi flat. A quiet winter Is predicted. The same may be said ofallthe northern counties where the Land League secured a hold, except Donesal. COUNTIES MEATH, WESTMEATH, CAVAN, LONGFURD, QUEENS. ‘This group of counties in Eastern and Central ireland are in cireumstances almost identical. Rents are nov being id to a ater extent than a month azo, On the of Headfort’s Cavait . estates rents are very w paid, | Lord Long- ford’s are not, In many districts, stich as Mount. Nugent, Gravard, Monill, and parts of County Longford, the tenants have refused to take advantage of the act and also refuse to pay rent. ‘These have to be evicted, and the evictions are likely to be fre- quent in the coming winter, which will be dangerous to peace. “Large reductions have been given by some landlords, but the people demand more; so, notwithstanding the tine harvest, litte reutis likely to be. paid except through force. On the other hand large numbers of tenants ure applying to the court, The general feeling toward the Land act 1s favorable, except In a few districts, is important to note that on large estates,where the tenants and Jandlord or agent are ou fairly xvod terms, the former e arbitra- tion. Hite ho-rent manifesto is supported by’ sowe of the priests, wi this encourages those who have been refusing all along to pay without reductions. ‘There Its. been considerable bad work in Longford, Queens, and Westmeath, Armed parties are con- tiuualiy going about at night demanding arnis and shooting rent-paying tenants. ‘Che suppression of We league has. had tempo- rary xood effect, but outrages are becomins inore numerous lately. Lt is predicted that there are likely to- be many murders, at- tempts.to marder, and arson These out- rages are not more directed toward the land- Jord class then among tenants. themselves for p ¢ rent, taking land from which others are evicted, etc. + COUNTY CLARE. The eastern part of this county las been marked during the agitation by considerabl violence and outrage. The western’ part is sunk in poverty, but the reports trom both districts say that the great bulk of the ten- ants are holding out firmly and are paying, no more freely than before. Coercion has been applicd. Tenants aye flocking into the and courts. Sonne solicitors have over 400 ¢@ each. . The feeling toward the court is favorable, though blended vith the suspicion that the popular. di ons now being given may be only baits to draw olf attention from whe league. But meantime the prespect is bad for both landlords and tenatuts, who, through the block in the courts, must re- main long iv suspense. It is particularly so for great landlords, like Lord Lecontuld, whose tenants are not paying. One fandiord has not gof beyond £3,000 ont of £14,000, One of my mformants from Western Clare suis up the prospects of the winter in three words—“ Litigauon, misery, eviction.” The Government’s action has been beneficial in checking Boyeotting, but it is easy io con- ecive that when coercive measures are used to stop public agitation the lower reck! efas cone to.the front. In Clare the out rages have actually increased, and while there is some hope that uo evil may result from the general fecling of unrest, others anticipate much bad work during the winter, Many evictions are a lixely consequeuce of iy ent of.arrears. Collisions between ctors tnd people are greatly feared, as the spirit of defiance is strony, and tho peo- ple expect that the Land Court, having taken the place of the Land League, will shield then from eviction. ‘Che no-rent manifesto had some effect, chiefly, however, in- di- viding the league sympathizers. More sen- sible people believed it was inexpedient, but those who are hupelesly in arrears or de- barred from appiyim to the Land Court. fa- yored the’ manifesto and are now daggers drawn with those applylug to the court, © ROUSCOMMON AND SLIGO. Rents are being paid better for the past month, but nevertheiess the buik of the ten- ants are not paying, and the prospects of the coming winter are not good. ‘The arrears on the estate of Col. King-Ilarmon are greater than has ever becn Known on the property, Lord de Frayne is getting no rents. ‘Tenants, on the other hand, are in- clined to go into court, but, in many in- siances, are asking for arbitration before do- ingso. Itis believed that the popularil the court will increase, but_in some districts tenants refuse tu use the act. “The suppres- sion of the league had a quieting effect for a time us rezards acts of vielence, but in many, districts matters areas bad as ever, even worse, The no-rent manifesto bad little re- suit. There must be a pumber of evictions; but they are not exvected to lead to eollis- ions between soldiers and people. The land- Jords arenot making reductions. Those who do are probably. rack-renters; who think it best to come to terms. It is beheved that there will be a large number of cases of murder and arson during the coming winter. ‘The bad work is already alarming. COUNTY LEITRIM, Rents are badly paid, nearly all tenants holding out for fair rent, to be fixed either by the fandiord or comission. On one large rate a 2 per cent reduction refused. ‘There seems to be some inclination among landlords to offer reductions or subinit to a bitration outside of the court, but the tenants expect great things from the Land Comm sions, "Things at present are at a standstill. ‘There is likely to be a number of evictions during the winter. The tenants, having held back rents for two years, are now heavily in arrears, Muny have spent the money and cat pay now or won't. ‘The no-rent mani- festo influenced none except 2 certain class who would equally welcome a “pay-no- debt” manifesto: "the retusals are generally on the plea that the rents are too high and require a permanent reduetion. lf evictions are carried out to the extent expected much bad work fs looked for during the winter. COUNTY KERRY. This is one of the few counties.in which it is stated that rents are better paid since the suppression of ‘the league. than before, yet the majority are still unwilling to pay with- out considerable reduction, ‘These abate- ments are being given to some degree by Kerry landlords. Confidence in the Land Court is increasing. “All tenauts Who can will apply to the Commissioners, but it is ex- pected that the people will fight aginst the payment of arrears, There will be many evictions in some districts, at which Jarge bodies of troops will have to be used. ‘The no-rent manifesto had no effect in Ker- y. My informants know of no cases where tenants refused to pay until the sns- pects nre released. All apprehend thet out- Yages will increase, several expressing tears of much terrible work during the winter. COUNTY TIPPERARY, This is Archbishop Croke’s county. It would appear that the eminent prelate’s ad- vice hus been xenerally taken, for reports from every part of the county say that ail the tenants who -are entitled are inclined to apply to ue i Court; but pending the treatment df their cases few rents are being paid, thous h the people are not so violent as they have been for some thue. . Landlords are very cantious. ‘They are waiting and watching. Ruck-ren bropertics Wil soon be in the court, and will give all) the landlords of the county 0 key to their own situation. There are likely te be many evictions, which will probably: again rouse feeling, and may lead to scents of violence. Opinions’ differ re- garding ‘the probable state of the county during the winter, but the majority are hopeful. + COUNTY WATERFORD. Rents are not being paid to a'ereater ex- tent since the arrest of the league leaders, About half of the tenants of the cuunty are pa’ the other half are holding out for a reduction or obedience to the ing very timid fn using leagne influence. _ The — prospects for paying this winter are only slightly en- courazing. Not many are yet going into aie fand Court, The Marquis of Water- ford has got his rents. ‘The Earl of Fortescue has notbeen paid.

The ten- ants are nut paying any better beenuse of tho suppression of the | aguey for the Goverh- iments recent action had uot nearly so much effect as the Coercion act had Inst spring De- fore it was found to be a dead letter, At least the majority are not paying, None have yet applied to the LandCourt. The no- rent manifesto had considerable effect in Wexford. , Copies are still continually posted up in the country towns, eecompanied x few days ago by a bloodthirsty appeal to the people to take vengeance. The terror of such intimidation keeps many from pay- ing, ‘Ihe Jandlords are generally re- fusing reductions, on the ground that rents are airendy low. If the rents are not paid there will be some evictions, which may lead to bloodshed. Several of ny in- formauts expect many outrages, but there is no talkof rising. . COUNTY KIL NY. From different quarters of Kilkenny I have several reports. All agree that rents are being paid no more freely, one report saying that they are not paid so well. The majority of the tenants are refusing to pay. without: reduction. ‘There is a general feel- ing toward the Land Court, though py in parts are any tenants yet applying to Ht. “Phe reductions everywhere made by the comints- sion is increasing the good feelin toward the axe A 25 or 30) per cent. re duction is demanded.

Some of the gentlemen writing to your correspondent doubtfully hove that the country will become: quiet by the end of the winter. Others an- lcipate much bad work. COUNTY DONEGAL. ‘This is one of. the poorest in Ireland. A. popular fand{ford in the north of the county: and a land agent in the south who was prominent in the relief work last year reply that rents are not being paid more freely now thun before the suppression ‘of tho league. ‘The mass of tenants are refusing payment. ‘She prospects of payment this winter are pot good, except under compulsion. Regarding the Land Court, the large farmers with at- torneys Near at hand are going into court, while in plnces where. the rents are small, especially in backward places where the population is large, the tendency is not to go into court, but to fall back on passive resist- ance—namely: to pay nothing avail, In tha north, on the estates of the Earl of Leitrim, 54,000 acres, and of Mr. A.J. RK. Stewart, 39,000 acres, large numbers of tenants are applying to the court. There are none on the estate of Mr. Wybrauts Olphert, 18,000 acres, In the south the country is quiet, but it is so usually. In the north the Government’s co- ercion stopped al! outrages except boyegtt- whieh -increased for a time, but is now abating hirconsequence of the stopping of in- flummatory meetings, Many evictions are expected if the determination to pay no rent continues, In the south of Donegal the no- it manitesio had considerable cifect in gthening resistance. In the north my cor- respondent says the manifesto had no result, for the simple reason that no rent was vaid before, aud the doctrine of passive resist- ance is well established. Reductions which are generally demanded are everywhere so large that the landlords cannot concede them. dn the south no reductions are being made by the landlords. In ‘the north reasonable reductions are offered but refused. Bad work, which means murder, arson, and out- tage, is not anticipated in’ Donexal. ‘The people are naturaily. well disposed. Rib- bonism is not popular. ‘The people have few or no arms. Evictions may haye a bad effect, however, COUNTY CORK-—-EAST RIDING, The gentleman who furnishes this infor- maton is a county official, with strong sym- pathies for the tenants. Voluntary paynient of rent remains as before the suppression of. the feazue, but payments are compelled to be easter than before. The owner of the Mounteashel estate has given 29 to 50 per cent reduction, and forgiven arrears. On the Kingston estate rents are collected by toree, but the inajority of tenants in East Cork are not paying, yet all who are entitled except on the estate of the Dukeof Devan- shire, are going into the Land Court, toward which the feeling is favorable in consequence of recent decisions. There are, however, large numbers of leaseholders in this part o: the county who, seeing yearly tenants hay- ing rents reduced, will hold out against payment unless they get equal re- duetions. ‘There have never been many outrages’ in this part of Cork during the whole agitation, though the league Js strong here; consequently the Govern- ment’s action had little effect,” Few evictions are expected in consequence of the decisions of the Land Courts and the disposition of tenants to xecept a fair reduction. ‘The to- rent manifesto had no practical influence owing to the uction of the Catholic clergy and the desire of tenants to accept the bene- fitsof the act. A major! ¥ £ the landlords, are offering ‘reductions, but arrears are stringently demanded, In connection with arrears much difficulty Is feared, many ten- ants belng unable to pay. If the landlords enforce payment considerabvie social dis- turbance and ill-feeling are likely to ensue, which will doubtiess result in outrages and secret revenges. ‘Fhe same consequencesare expected if the Iaudlords oblige the lease- hoklers to pay fuil rents. COUNTY CORK—WEST RIDING. From correspondents in Skibbereen, which is.the extreme south of West Cork and Mill- | street, near Killarney, [ learn that there is no diference In the payment of rents since Par- nell’s arrest, a miss of tenants holding vut against the landlords. ‘Their attention seems tw be turned to_ tne action of the Lund Com- missions; and will not pay arrears uniess they are conipelled. ‘The decisions of the cou- missions have had a. great effect. ‘Ihe en- tire tenantry who are entiticd are determined to apply to the court, believing the judg- ments already given to be altogether in their favor. Landlords are making no reductions, except in 2 few cases, which are owmy to the alarm at recent deelsions. ‘fhe Govern- ment’s locking up of Parnell and suppr ing of the league had only a little effect. It stopped miny open violations of the law, but has not stopped secret outrages. “Not many evictions are likely, as writs cannot be served, The no-rent mani- festo made litle difference, as no rent had been paid before it was Issued. It has, however, strengthened the determination not to pay without material It is believed that the winter will be 1d inurder and outrage! Millstreet, it, w remembered, is a ceutre fur the operations of Moonlight, leader of the masked. men who have been scouring the surrounding country for months at night, threatening those who are payin rent and capturing the arms of farmers. ‘These depre- dations are believed to be really revolutionary: and only incidentally connected with the Jand. Unless the police is able to break up these organized raids the Mounlights will be asource of much erime and terrorism durmg the winter. COUNTY LIMEMICK. Tents are no better paid now than two Months ago, except possibly a shade more Treely in some parts, and it is Just as ditieult to serve any legal process or exeente decrees as before the league was proclaimed. ‘fhe tenants are almost unanimously refusing te pay without abatement, ‘There is no reason to think that matters will improve during the coming winter. ‘Two reat estates in Limerick are those of Lords Devon and Dun- Taven. ‘The former let at under Griiith’s yalu- ation. The tenants refused to pay without abatement, which was refused... ‘fhe land- Jord took legal steps and has since re- ceived considerable rent. On Lord Dune ven’s estate there is to be arbitration and a w Yaluation—one of the valuators being chosen by the landlord, the other by the ten- auts, Meantime whatever rent the tenants choose ty vay is taken. Abatements were very: general throughout the county before the passing of the Land act, but not so fre- quent now, being generally 23 Jandlords Who need” money” badiy. large number of tenants in this county are applying to the Land Court.
