THE NORTH OF IRELAND AND THE LAND

BILL.

Cn Monday, a conference of delegates from the different
tenantzight associations of Ulster was held in Bally-
money, county Antrim, to take into consideration the
alterations required in the Irish Land Bill, in order to
give legal protection to the Ulster tenantry as involved in
their ancient tenant-right customs. After lengthened
deliberation, the following resolutions were adopted :-
1. That while this meeting recognises the desire
of the Prime Minister and Government to remedy
the grievances of the Irish tenants without infringing
upon the rights of the landlords, it deems it
proper to put upon record at this important juncture its
deliberate opinion that the Government bill is defective
in some important respects ; especially as regards Ulster,
and it will not give that sense of security without which the
continual progress of the county is impossible.-2. That
this meeting, looking to the present position of the bill
and to the tenants interest in the soil which in Ulster
alone amounts to £2,000,000, is of opinion that provision
should be made under clauses eight and fourteen to pre-
vent the landlords from absorbing by rack renting, in
parts or in whole, the tenant's interests whether
purchased, inherited, or created.-3. That in the
opinion of this me?ting a full recognition of
the market value of the tenants' interest in the soil is the
simplest and best mode of ascertaining the real value of
that interest, and is in entire accordance with the prin-
ciples of free trade ; and that this market value should in
case of eviction be made the basis of compensation to the
tenant, together with such further damages for the loss
sustained as the court may award. 4. That this
meeting desires earnestly to express its opinion
that the clauses enabling tenants to buy out the
landlords interest are equally fair to both ; as by such
means the landlords would obtain a higher price for their
land, whilst the positions would be improved of the tenant
farmers by their conversion into occupying owners, a
class which has always proved the safeguard of society
and the best security for the peace and contentment of
the county. Therefore this meeting would deplore any
change in the bill by which these important clauses would
be endangered. 5. That the best thanks of this
meeting are due to Mr. Johnston, M.P.
for Belfast, for his efforts to define and preserve
the Ulster custom, and it desires to express deep regret at
the course adopted by the landlord representatives of Ulster,
who resisted proposals to improve the bill, and failed to
support the cause of the tenant farmer of Ulster in
Parliament, as it is apprehended that the Ulster clauses
of the bill as it now stands will prevent
tenants under the Ulster custom claiming for compen-
sation for future improvements, and as this can
not be the intention of the Government, we respectfully
call their attention to this matter, so that Ulster may not
be placed in a relatively worse position than the other
portions of Ireland. 7th. That this meeting, having
heard the explanation of Mr. Morrison, M.P. for Ply-
mouth, of the scheme of Judge Longfield, begs to express
its thanks for his great kindness in attending, at con-
siderable inconvenience, and for his kind statement of a
measure which presents many valuable features, defining
and determining by voluntary contract the relative
tights of landlord and tenant. It was also resolved to
forward copies of the resolutions to the Prime Minister,
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. and. Mr. Fortescue, the
Chief Secretary.

• The Post-office authorities are making arrange-
ments for having telegrams sent " direct " from the House
of Commons to the provincial press. This was done under
the old system, and since then great delay has been
caused in consequence of the reports having to be conveyed
by messenger to the central office -ere they could be trans-
mitted by telegraph.

The date of the French plebiscitum will be fixed,
it is anticipated, by an Imperial decree to be issued next
Sunday. The printer is already engaged upon the
Emperor's letter to the electors, setting forth what the
plebiscitum means. Eight millions of copies are ordered.,
r.nd they are to be ready for nostinc. on Thursday.

ANOTHER 6Elzundt OF ARMS IN IRELAND.—AR
important seizure of arms has been made at Ballymahon,
county Longford. On Saturday, while Sub-Inspector
Smith and a party of police under his command were on
duty in that town. the Sub-Inspector had occasion to
enter the house of a blacksmith called Lovatt, where, per-
ceiving something which excited suspHon, he at once
directed a search to be made on the premises, and the
consequence was that the police found concealed under
mattresses and in other places about ten guns, eight or
nine laistols, a quantity of powder and shot, several half-
finished gun stocks, a formidable weapon, viz., a scythe
fixed on a staff, and about 500 lock-nipples, &c., which
shews that the man Lovatt has been in the habit of repair-
ing arms very extensively.—Dublin Express.

A. MODEL PRESIDENT.—A Brazilian journal says:
" The Argentine Confederation has been fortunate of late
in its presidents. Mitre gave it internal peace, unity, sta-
bility, and respect for constitutionalism. Sarmiento suc-
ceeded him to give it education, population, and agricul-
ture, the three best guarantees for permanency, progress,
and prosperity. Immigration is the great lever of Sar-
iniento's aims, he therefore invites foreigners to his
country ; he gives them political rights, and tries to
identify these rights with their interests and aspirations.
The immigration flowing into the State promises to make
the Confederation, ere many years have passed, the
wealthiest as well as the most progressive State of South
America."_
