PARNELL TO THE FRONT.

Dublin, October ga private conference
of tenant farmers was held here yesterday.
Thirty two Irish counties sent their delegates
The tenantry from Cork and marlborough,
Galway and Enniscothy, Balinrobe in Mayo,
Tpperary and Sligo, were strongly represent
cd A farmers league was formed for the
purpose of protecting these over whom eviction
hang. Mr.. Parnell was unanimously elected
President, and the sense of the meeting WAS
that the times had passed when landlords
could be asked to abate their rents; that the
people who have titled the soil thro ugh long
generations, had a right to live on it, and that
even general abatement of rents would avail
little, las it secured no titles or perpei uity.
There is a desire to obtain the privilege of
buying out their homesteads, by small land
holders This would ensure permanent
peace, and an advanced interest in the SOL,
because men would become bona fde owners,
q thing impossible under the present system,
and would ensure a very increased number ct
voters, a thing which the aristocracy does no'
take to kindly, nor does the government. 1t

safe in many case; it would by degrees jeop-
ardise some of the perquistes of royalty,
it might turn many thousands OF
acres of splendid parks and preserves
into feeding places for human beings instead
of game, and it might officer the army with
men of solid merit, and it might interfere
with ecclesiastical privileges, and it might
haply do away with the regisna do"'sm-the
pay of clerical police force-and freeholders
might insist on paying their own pastors and
listening to those they paid. There are
good many contingencies depending upon
this great Irish movement, aud if the men
who have taken the initiative will stand
firm and keep cool, avoid the hot-headed ad
vice of misguided orators, they have started a
boom which will count heavily before long,
and accomplish grand work. 1t is only

THE Enterprise starts upon an enumera-
ton of the roads which might have been
built, and the corresponding benefit ACQUIRING
to the country, and asserts that they have
all "been killed by the mob spirit which was
awakened by the CARSON APPEAL and Vir-
gin;a Chronicle, and which is fed on false
hoods daily to keep it warm. There must be
some motive for this. The most reasonable
explanation is that the intention is to pro-
scribe the field in which laborers can be en-
ployed that general reduction of the price
of labor must follow" Now does the Enter
prise or any other paper believe for m oment
that such a motive could possibly dicta tie the
course of any man who has the welfare of the
public at hearth Is it to the advantage of
any paper in the State, to prescribe the field
in which laborers are Employed Or is it
their advantage to reduce the price of labor,
and on what lies is this spirit fedl The
motive of the APPEAL has been the duty it
owes to the public. 1t is neither the servant of
the railroad, nor any other corporation, and
the assignment of motives" comes with a
bad grace from the Enterprise. Who has
ever opposed the opening up of new regions
by building ew roadsl If a paper has seen
fit to ask for common justice from monopolies
1t only asks that 7hich all thinking men feel
and know is our right; and if companies
cannot extend their roads under proper re-
strictions and equitable laws, they do not
deserve the franchise. Bat no amount of
sophistry can blind the people to the belief
that their rights have been respected,
and that every cry for relief has only been
met with stubborn denial and the glittering
sophistries of press run in the interest of
such corporations. Figures and statements
have been multiplied to show that the people
are all wrong, but the people are not quite
and are not likely to be while facts,
not figures, stare them in the face.

addressed letter to the President,
calling attention to the necessity of tho
adoption ofmeasures to suppress az.
gression upon Indians reservations.
He alludes to the massacre Of the Ban
nocks and the Chsyennes, the forced
removal of the Nez Perces and Sioux,
in violation of treaty obligations, and
the recent raid upon the reserve Of the
Utes in Colorado, and says that unless
these outrages are stopped another
Indian war will occur. He recommends
that a Peace Commission be appointed
whose characters shall command the

of the Indians, with view to bringing
