The Central Tenants Defense Association,
ss BELTS it's character and the purpose for
which it was established, has been the first
| to speak. At it's monthly meeting few
days ago, it resolved on the important step
OF Calling another conference. 1t proposes
that the conference shall meet in October,
and 1t invites to seat at the council board
1.-THE officers Of the farmers clubs and ten
ants' defense associations throughout the
country, all members of corporations and
Other municipal bodies, the clergy of all
DENOMINATIONS, landowners. mem ers OF
Parliament, poor law guardians, etc, who
may be favorable to an adjustment of the
Land Question on the principles of tenant
right" A thoroughly national meeting,
in fact, is evidently contemplated, and GER
tainly no friend of the tenant farmers of
IrolaLd who will be absent from the confer
ence will be able hereafte to say that be
was not summoned.
In tLis connection we cannot omit pass
ing notice of speech delivered on Tues
day in Tipperary by Mr.. Moore, the mem
Der for Council, Mr.. Moore was acting as
chairman at the annual dinner of the Tip
peTary Union Farming Society, and, speak
ing of the annual show of that body, which
had just been held, be said, with landlords
sitting around him, that those meetings
were important in bringing together land
lord and tenant" between whom singular
enlargement had exhibited itself" 1.-THE
landlord these were the strong words of
Mr.. Moore" had looked upon his tenant
as wild beast, fair to the eye, but better
at distance than near st hand; aud, unfor
tunately, the tenant had too often looked
upon his landlord as mere oppressor."
- He was not going TO congratulate Them"
he went on, "as had been done in times
past, upon the number of cattle exhibite |
he preferred to see men increasing around |
him, and not merely animals; !" and Mr.. |
Moore concluded by expressing deep sym
patty with the tenants on the now famous
estate. There is ring in |
these sentences which peases us very
much, but which can hardly be very Elusi !

LAND.
The Free Trade Hall, Manchester, wit
messed on Sunday last very sorry specta- |
there to lecture on an Irish literary subject, |
and, as Invariably happens when he takes |
his stand on public platform, very large
number of persons went TO listen to hls
address. He had scarcely begun to- speak,
however, when he WAS asked by person !
in the bocy of the hall, Whether he held |
the views of Tone aud Emmett as to Hone
Rule for Ireland z" and he having replied
that he was not there to speak on the Home
Ru!e question, an apparently organized at
ack was then made on the audience, the |
result of which was that in about twenty
minu the bail was cleared of its occu-
pants and the proceedings came to an end.
In the course of the disorderly scene, the
benches were piled about, chairs were
broken. the organ was injured, and, worst
of all, MI. Bggar, NJ p, who presided, re-
ceived a wound on the head from which he
Died profusely.
1t Is said on good authority that the a.
sailants in this affair were collected from
some of the surrounding towrs, and not
from Manchester itself; at any rate. the
Irish Mathematics in that city took prompt
steps to vindicate themselves from any
such Charge a. that they deliberately at
tackled a peaceful assem- hsge met to listen
to literary discourse by al Irish patriot.
A few hours after The break up of tho meet
