In Mallow, Mr.. Waters, O. c., has retired, SO
Major Knox IL now ~. sae only
electors personally and politically. Our &C
counts from the South represent his return as
perfectly certain and In truth We are not as
tonished by the news. Az things now stand In
Mallow, no patriotic Irishman can hesitate in
marking by hearty support of Major Knox
his appreciation of The cheering and hopeful
movements which that gentleman's Journal has
SO honorably led and SO notably served-the
movement towards generous reconciliation OF
Protestant Irishmen with the masses OF their
fellow.cOuntrymen, and, as Mr.. Martin has de-
clared, 1.-THE peaceful settlement Of the Irish
national question" Under these circumstances
| the election, by liberal and national constitu-
edSy OF Major hnoa as Inc ane
| Journal of Ireland. would be an event of great
significance. 1t would be frank and cordial
assurance to all such men amongst our Protes-
trusts that have so long Kept them from the
broad platform of Irshism have been false and
groundless the whisperings of English fac,
lions who would fain keep Irish Protestant and
Irish Catholic asunder.-NatiOn.
A paragraph in Saunders directly states that
ait has been determined to present q petition
against the return of Captain Greville-Nugcnt
t1sa s1 CON- ana undue 1 S
ercised by the Catholic clergy" There il q ru-
NOR that, tosmake way for Lord Adare, "who
has expressed a wish to represent the county
Limerick" Col -Monsell will create a vacancy
in the county by resigning, and will offer him
self as candidate for Limerick City at the ear
lest opportunity. The new Attorney General
City, but the more probable rumor is that an
English vacancy will be provided by retire
ment. The final item of election news, and by
far the most striking Of the whole, is, that in
the event of a vacancy for the City of London
derry, the Orangemen will put up no less
famous parsonage than Mr.. John Madden of
Hilton Park, just because he has been summar-
lily chastised for his bad language The force
OF folly can no further gO-NQtiOn.
''The Irish Landlord Since the Revolution"
is the title of an able work from the pen of the
Rev. Father Lavelie, which hos just been is
sued by Mr.. W. B. Kelly, publisher, Dublin
We desire to say at once that it is work of
wonderful freshness, interest, and power.-ldid
circumstance illustrative of the state of
society in Tipperary has just been reported
Some property belonging tosa tenant farmer,
seized under a decree for rent, offered for
sale few days ago, but though there were
over 300 persons present, not single bid was
made, and the attempt to sell proved abortive
1t is stated by way of explanation that pre-
vious to the auction placards were posted up
about the place calling on the people to re-
spect the 'tenant-right" of the person against
whom the decree had been obtained.
More Ejecfments.-The work of eviction is ex-
tending, and is pressed forward with such
vigor that the tenantry of many parts of the
country is likely to be annihlated before Par
lament can interfere. On Monday we received
II list of twenty-one families numbering no
less than one hundred and thirty eight in
dividuals, who had been served with the eject
ment process, and who are to be g turned out
like SO many offensive vermin few DAYS before
the delivery of the Royal speech, which will at
least recommend Parliament to consider the
relations existing in the country between the
owners and the tillers of the soil. Our cores
pendent informs that in the particular case
to which we now refer, there is no rent due,
not even one shilling, and crime and outrage
are unknown on the estate" Yet q hundred
and thirty eight human beings-one being
eighty years of age and another seventy-are
to be swept away because the landlord wills
| it, and the law, at present, sanctions and per-
mits the act. We shall at once inquire into
the particulars of tlsiA case, it may assist to
! elucidate to the British Parliament and public
what landlordism is in this country.-Freeman.
The Dean of Limerick, in letter to the
nation, reviewing the recent speeches of Messrs
history of Ireland, had the English Crown
fourteen hundred Catholic priests pledging them
selves for the tranquility of the country
clare that peace and tranquility would result
from concession which they demand, they
equivalently declare that they will labor to
maintain them; and in the evertions of such
men, SO pledged, is there not found the accom-
plishment of what they promise There
be no greater guarantee of public safety, 1
| repeat or one which of it's nature could bind
the priesthood of this country to become the
special guardians of peace and order-indeed
may add the people to the priests in this
aspect of effects of concession, because in the
CONSEQUENCES that tHe clergy were sponsors Tor
Il tranquil future, the country would labor
earnestly to redeem their pastors word.
"Let us, then, hope that the time for clemency
has arrived, and that we are not to be an ex-
ception to u whole world rejoicing; here is
real pension to the clergy-soniething which they
desire, and for which they will feel grateful
for ever. In the spectacle of England giving
up his children to " Soggarth Aroon," there is
Il graceful acknowledgement and n conscious
strength which will lay the foundation of
new feeling and new era.
| Sir George B0Wyer, Rdrt., a Repcaler.-This
morning (says the Dundalk Den,ocsaD we re-
ceived the following letter from Sir George
Bowyer, and although not intended for publ
cation, we think it should go before his former
constituents, in order that they may learn the
change that has taken place in his opinions on
the question of Repeal. There is no doubt at
all that Sir George is right. No matter what
| laws may be passed for Ireland neither pros
perity nor lasting peace will visit her till she
is leSislated for by her own sons, the Lon
don Parliament will never he able to under
stand the wants of the country:
| Temple, London, Jan. 90, 1870.
"My Dear Sri am off to do my duty at
the Council next Thursday. Can do anything
for you in the Holy Cityf do not know what
the government are going to do about the
| land. But my own opinion is, that the only
| complete remedy for the evils under which the
| country suffers is Irish Parliament in Dublin
have beeen for a long time coming to the
| conclusion that the British Parliament never
will and never can understand what the conn
| try requires. Until there is an Irish Parlia-
ment Ireland will always be made II tool of by
| English party leaders in the House of Com
mons. l hope to see the day when the Legis-
| latiye Union will be repealed, and believe
this will be best for England as well as Ireland.
