the misguided courage to plot ;owl-side venges

and the murderous pluck necessary for its perpetra-
tion, were laser bred in the hovel or sheltered in
the workhouse ; we knew that if peace be-
tween the proprietary class and the farmer
elms in Ireland were not likewise established,
the deadly warfare between them would pro-
ceed pretty much as before. And now what do
we see Bankrupt estates have here and there been
sold, and a resident proprietary have io gemeral
taken the place of absentees. !Mendicancy in the
streets and highways has been staved off; and
battened down into wards and hospitals by the un-
relenting application of the workhouse test, outdoor
relief being virtually ignored and disallowed. A
quarter of a million of human beings bare on an
average quitted Ireland every year since the famine :
another overflow. as it has sometimes been called,
though reduced somewhat, still coatroom Bat so
do the sounds of agrarian war.
The last s ictim of the internecine struggle appears
to have been one of the devoted section of society
who combine, in Ireland, the occupations of land
agent with that of farming; and who are proverbially
ambitious to rise from the subordinate and dependent
condition in which their money is made, into that of
small proprietor,. Their gauss are seldom such as
to enable them to mike extensive purchases of
land ; and when they do venture to invest the few
thousands saved by years of drudgery and pant
mooy, they arc jest the men of all others who are
eager to get out of the land the utmost value they
think it capable of J ielding. Long accustomed to
do the rough and arbitrary work of landlordism for
others, they have wedorn any hesit►tion in performing
it for themselves. But even when they might other-
wise be disposed to leniency, the remembrance of
their calling cleaves to them in the minds of a dis-
trustful population, and their best acts arc mildewed
by popular suspicion. A sad and dreadful state of
things to contemplate, but one which cannot be
mended or mitigated by being doggedly denied. Of
the unfortunate man whose untimely fate a
few days since upon the high road, near
the town of Teuiplemore, it has been
our unwelcome duty to record, we know compara-
tively little. He is stated to have originally mi-
grated to Tipperary from some part of Scotland;
but it does not appear that any jealousy entertained
of him as a stranger was the inciting cause of the
cruel deed. For many years he filled the office of
land agent to Mr. Tamer, of Doves, an extensive
proprietor in that part of the country. Neither
does it appear from anything that has transpired
that the circumstance of his being • Protestant
contributed in any degree to whet the edge of mer-
ciless revenge. He had lived unharmed amidst •
Catholic population for a lengthened period,
and probably entertained no thought of in-
security on that account. Whether Mr. TanMT
has tae reputation of being a considerate
landlord, or the contrary, we confess that
we have not heard. It is stated that some
years ago the ill-fated Rent-collector's life was
threatened, but of late he seems to have had no ap-
prehensions, and to have travelled constantly at late
hours sad some. He is described as having recently

engaged extensively in farming speculations, and ma
having become a purchaser in the Encumbered
' Estates Court of two or three town lands. In
his desire to realise the value of his purchase. he
proceeded to evict the occupiers whom he found
thereoe. Was this clori harshly, summarily, capri-
ciously, or °sly after reasonable notice, and endea-
vours to reconcile, ua far ma possible, the
interests of old occupier and new owner?
We know not ; in all probability we shall never
know. There will be abundant talk, contradiction,
and explanation, conflicting testimony and angry
debate, upon the subject in idea journals: but the
true narrative, who will tell The record is defaced
and dabbled over with an old man's blood. The
truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
will not be heard in the matter till the judgment
day. Society, alarmed and angry, will offer a
reward for the apprehension of the assassin, and
if the reward be large enough it will probably
succeed in procuring detection of the criminal.
Theo will come the formality of judicial proceed-
ings, and in all likelihood the grim sequel of a
• public execution in front of the county gaol. And
the horrible account thus balanced, Society will
think it has done its duty, and earned its title to go
asleep again, leaving the cause of the old mis-
chief untouched e‘ en as before. In vain will

so half doien Irish members insist next

session upon the duty of Government dealing
legislatively with what they call the whole
question of Landlord and Tenant in Ireland—a phrase
of first-rate value at the hustings, but worse than
valueleu for all practical purposes in the Howie of
Commons. "The whole question of Landlord and

" Tenant," u it is called, comprises in reality a
doacn separate questions, each of them deserving of
earnest investigation, and each of them requiring
the legislative interposition which a wise Govern-
ment alone can insure. But we are sorry to say we
see little evidence of either capacity or disposition
on the part of those who hold office in connexion
with Ireland to originate any measure implying
forethought or statesmanlike skill: and our fears
are unabated, consequently, as to the perennial
recurrence of agrarian violence and crime.
