n tribunal. 80 as not TO include valuation of
the tenants right of occupancy or of his inn
proyements; fifth, right to realize the value OF
a right of occupancy and of all i'm
provements, the landlord being also
entitled to deduct from such sum arrears
due to him, and the amount of awards for
wastes or dilapidation; sixth, local tribunals
empowered to grant house sites and suitable
lots Of land. Most of these particulars seem
to be answered by Mr.. Gladstone; but we have
no reason to believe that the great demand for
permanence of tenure will be satisfied. The
provision for granting loans to tenants secures
ono feature of a scheme under which the
Prussian race of peasant proprietors has thrlved
nobly, and for which we have to thank the
kindly sagacity of Mr.. Bright. The proifered
loan to landlords to help them to redeem waste
lands is no new feature of British law, and
will not disturb the integrity OF the former
proyisOn. Whether from tenant-rlght, loans
courts, non eviction, and long notices, the more
sanguine class of Irishmen will derive more
content than vexation, we shall not now take
time to say but the English Government, not
without that characteristic holding back which
we must always expect TO see, has evidently
framed measure the earnest intent OF which
is to render Ireland the most practicable JUSTICE

The School Trustees of Mr.. Tweed's parish
(the Seventh Ward ask the Board of Educa-
ton to provide for teaching the Irish language
in the public schools. Some of the members Of
the Board looked upon the petition as joke.
We do not see it in that light. Our Irish fellow
citizens do the majority of the voting they out
number the natives in the TOmbs, the Aims
house. the Hospitals, and the Penitentiary. If
we have any regard for representation by
numbers, we surely cannot object to professors
of Irish in the schools. BY all means let us
consider this request with proper respect.

If an open confession has the excellent effect
usually accorded it, the Democratic conscience
should feel considerably relieved since the
penitential performance in the Assembly at
Albany. Never before was there such unre-
served acknowledgment Of manifold crimes
by the culprits. We are told in the most
authoritative manner that there is not Dem
ocratc member of Assembly from New York
who does not hold lis seat in consequence Of
the most stupendous frauds. Speaker Hitch
man, Lawrence ID. Herman, Owen Murphy,
and Peter Mitchell, who ought to be good
authority on such points, Ieproached each
other with being elected by repeaters; indeed.
the last-named gentleman was 80 very certain
of his facts that he offered to bet $1,000 that
rascally canvassers had given Speaker Hitch
man 300 votes in a district where he had lc-
gally received but 40. The Speaker, of course.
Indignantly denied this, but admitted there
care men in New York who vote twice, thrice,
"nay twenty times" The editor Of The World
had indeed given evidence Of the cunning
"and shameless frauds" he saw committed by
Mr.. Tweed and Mayor Hall but here is the

cratic power in this city is the creation of the
most gigantic frauds upon the ballot

We note with pleasure convocatlon Oh
hotel proprietors to take measures against tho
close monopoly of the ice-dealers. Fair buSl'
ness transactions are to be encouraged; but
mOnopoles are uncomfortable. For weeks past
the ice men have industriously circulated the
story that there was no sufficient harvest In
their fields, or sufficient stock on hand, and 80
prepared the way, not only for the extra price
already charged. but for further exactions to
come. If there is any condition in which ice
dealers and peach growers are happy it is
in short crops. Abundance is their bane. But

THE IRISH LAND ELL.

The main features Of Mr.. Gladstone's bill for
Irish Land Reform, as given through the cable,
do not enable us to express final Judgment
of measure so important, Yet there are good
grounds for belief that the English Govern
ment has succeeded this time in Offering the
sister country moro than half measure. The
new bill provides for security of tenure, for
easy transfer and purchase of land, for loans
to tenants and landlords, for Court Of Arbi-
tration, for compensation in case of improve
ments, and for retaining the Ulster tenant
right. 1t provides likewise that evictions for
non payment shall debar all claims against
tenants, and that tenants shall have one years
notice to quit. Altogether these seem to be
the features of fair and broad, We will not
say profound, remedy.
We must wait, however, till we under
stand the difference between the security of
tenure proposed by Mr.. Gladstone and the
fixity of tenure demanded by great body of
lrishmeD, before we can rate the Land bill at
its true value. The National Land Conference
highly representative body. met at Dublin
early in the present month and resolved that
no land measure would be satisfactory which
did not recognize a continuous right of occupancy
subject to eviction only for non payment of rent
1t is to be seen whether Mr.. Gladstone's security
amounts to o continuous right of occupancy.
We fear that it does not. The retention of
the old Ulster tenant-rght, by which an out
going tenant can sell to an incomer his in
terest, appears designed as one comfort, among
Others for the absence of that fixity, that radi-
zeal permanence Of tenure which is the dream
of Irish patriots. Mr.. Gladstone's bill may pro-
vide for leases Of fair length, but ii seems to
us much safer to presume that his Courts of
Arbitration are to determine the degree of &C.
curity which is to be given to the tenant.
Ulster tenant-right and the barring of all
claims against the evicted may have been cal
culated to make more palatable a certain dis
appointment.
The National Land Conference of IRELAND
mt the meeting to which we have alluded
adopted . series of resolutions which supply
us with the best commentary we can at pres
ent offer upon the new Reform. The first of
these declared for the permanent fixture OF tho
Irish tenant in tho soil, and the utter doing
away OF arbitrary evictons; the second for q
continuous right of occupancy subject only to
eviction for noh-payment or sub-letting with
out right; third, the tenants right of the
property in tho continuous occupancy, SO Sc

1t is scarcely probable that The Worlds furry
about the Ring will scare the experienced mana
gers of that powerful corporation. The Word
is periodically seized with spasms of virtue, but
they are epileptic tits-furious for the moment,
but soon over. The editor one day astoniShed
his readers by the bold admission that repeat
ers and false counters were the real cohtrohers
of elections in New-Yorb. and enjoyed tor the
moment the strange sensation of speaking

toward remedying the eyilH Nothing. A long
time ago, that journal quarrelcd with the

ous To- the diIettand of that fastidious journal

the Manhattan Club gentlemen-and these,
probably with reasons of more pecuniary pur-
port, induced The World to declare, first state
of neutrality, next quasi independence, and
finally 10 roise the hag of rebellion. How
much sincerity there may DO in its present
purpose, tine alone can show. Everything
