Some of the ultraniontane and tenant-light journals
are beginning to be terrified at the monster of agrarian 1
combination which they have fostered. Justice,—
slow in its movements and often baffled,—is sometimes
ettooessful with a vengeance, and makes the war against 1
landlords a very unprofitable business. But as the
law fails so frequently to reach the panty parties, in
consequence of the sympathy and protection
of the tenantry, some landlords are determined
to care the social malady by a counter-irritant,
and the announcement seems to excite more alarm
then a special- COMIIIiBBIOII. Lord Clifden has informed
his tenantry in the county Kilkenny that if his again,
Mr. Coates—threatened with ameasinntion—be injured,
every tenant in the district will he evicted. The
tenants, therefore, have the strongest possible interest
in the preservation of that gentleman's life. They
know by whom he has been threatened, and who
would employ and pay his murderers. They can
deliver up to justice the author of the threatening
letter, and they can effectually prevent the execution
of the threat This, being so, it cannot be said with
strict truth, that the innocent would be punished with
the guilty, for those who know and harbour conspira-
tors and murderers are not innocent, and if they
suffer they have to blame themselves.
The Preenian says. that: "Mr. John Rynd, land
agent skid JP., received through the post-ollioe of this
town a few days ago • threatening notice, threatening
him with death if he did not discharge his bailiff named
Keegan, residing on the estate of Mr. Grogan, of the
county of Wieklow, to which Mr. Rynd is agent. The
only reason assigned for this outrage and the removal
of Reagan is, that the latter faithfully discharges his
duty."

It Is mash to be deplored that the baneful practice
of threatening letter-writing still prevails in many parts
of the country, and is producing sad restate by driving
away many of the moat useful members of the oom-
mnnity. To such an extent has it been carried in West-
meath (says a correspondent of the Daily Express)
that the agent of the Earl of Longford's"estate in that
county has resigned his agency and advertised his
residence and farms, and made all other arrangements
preparatory to leaving the country. His withdrawal
will be • great loss to the misguided people, for he was
a kind and liberal employer. Another agent In the
same locality contemplates a similar step In consequence
of having received one of those ominous epistles. In
the adjmnina connty of Meath, also, • very extensive
landed proprietor, who expended annually a large
portion of his lnoome in the employment of the labour-
mg classes amongst his tenantry and neighbours,
amounting to many hundreds, hes, from the same cause,
been obliged to give up his fine establishment and repair
to England.
