The Hard-Hearte d Land.RObber.

Provocation for killing the Earl of
Leitrim was as nearly justifable homi-
eide as such violation of law can we'll
ever be. the dispatches announcing
the tragedy inform us that he was
landlord whose ideas of rights of prop
erty prompted him to stretch the pow
limit. -. For over twenty-five years
he had been consolidating farms. evict-
ing tenants, and turning his land into
immense grass farms. Owning
immense tracts in the counties of
Donegal, Leitram, and Derry, as we'll as
small estate in Kildare, it is said that
he had probably evicted more tenants
in his lifetime tn an any other man ia
Ireland Comm enting on this homi-
eide, one of our exchanges correctly
points out a matter that many people
in this country do not seem to under
stand. 1t says:
The Earl doubtless reasoned that a
man has right to do what he will with
his own, but the peasants probably
found it difficult to understand how
these lands ever came to be his own to
such an extent as to leave them no
right In the soil upon which they were
born, and on which their ancestors had
lived centuries before those of the great
Earl had obtained a foothold in Ireland.
The truth is, that the native chiefs,
to whom the modern mobiles succeed,
were not o,Uners of the land over which
their authority extended. They had
certain rights and prerogatives,a and were
entitled to certain payments in service
or otherwise, but they never were
owners In fee simple by the lands occu-
pied by the poor peasants. Indeed it
was in their magisterial character
rather than in the capacity of landlords
that they received such dues as were
paid them; and the right to eyict scores
of peasants from their holdings, or to
put up those holdings for rent to the
highest bidder, was something they
never would have thought Of s.
In point of fact, the Irish nobility
have never acquired a rightfI ownership
of their estates in fee simple So far as
the law has conferred such ownership,
it has simply legalized the results of
robbery-robbery of the most atrocious
and cruel character; for, assuredly, to
steal the very soil from under the feet
of a peasant and his family, and te
turn them out into the world.as home
less vsIgabonds, is inconparably. worse
than to rob a traveller on the4lighWay,
or to steal the plate from the house OF
a sleeping burgher. - - AZ
1t is precisely such robbery that the
Earl of Leitrim has been Systematically
committing upon his .tenantry. His
predecessors have asserted the legal

New Orleans Times; 1t is question
worth serious consideration whether
Louisiana should not side actively with
Texas in the matter OF opposing all res
auctions, either in the strength or eiil-
cheney of the army. There is great
deal too much apathy manifested by
one state where the interests OF another
are concerned, ard it IS this which pres
vents concert of action among the
southern delegations and stands in the
way Of accomplishing much needed re-
lief for all. Texas, for example, is
deeply interested in defeating any at
tempt to cut down the army. She has
avast border, continually exposed to
the depredations of the murderers ara
cattle thieves from across the MO
Grande For years past the frontier
has been rendered virtually unlnha0i'
table, its industries blighted, its citi-
zens slain and outraged, almost without
aprotest and literally without repara'
ton by the general government. Inc
only way to put an end to this state OF
things is to garrison the Rio Grande In
sufficient force, and to maintain the es-
Enlistment on that basis until the
frontier becomes strong enough to pro-
tect itself, or until the marauders are
driven by starvation to seek other
methods of livelihood Under existing
conditions that tract of country must
always remain unproductive, for the
M,exicans have hit upon a system OF
thinning out, so very judicious that
population can never make the least
Roadway against it. 1t may be said
that Louisiana has no interest in keep
ing up the army, but it is equally true
mat we have quite as little in destroy,
mgit. The question, in fact, is one OF
those in which we have very languid
concern and can afford to remit to
those whose connection with it is direct
and whose feelings are pronounced
occupying SO impartial and independ!
ent an attitude as regards ourselves, II
sun remains to be considered, however
whether we car afford tobe so apathetl'
where the deepest interests of our slstel
state are involved Texas requires
