CORK, Dec. 17.-There is great want
of employment throughout the country,
owing to disinclinations of landlords to
pay out money. At several meetings re-
Gently had farmers were announced to
give employment to laborers. The agent
of the earl of Cork was requested to pro-
vide labor on the earl's estate near Charlie
mated that he will open works in that To-
cality and give employment to. men in
1881.
"a LONDON, Dec 1.-THE Times in a
leading article on the Irish question says
the followers of the government are en-
barrassed, and for the most part do not
know what to say, while few are bold
enough to express their regret at the line
their leaders have pursued.
1t is imperatively necessary that
this legislation should be received as
satisfaction of Justice, but Is it too prob
able it will be received as concession to
lawlessness with which the government
did not venture to grapple. If the
fusurary demands are not granted in the
form in which they have been made it
will still be said that what is given is the
result of the demonstration Of the ire
sistable power of the people, determined
to have their own way, and foolish no.
tions will thus be confirmed IN the brain
Of the Irish peasant. The shortcomings
of the government thus confirmed in the
dream of the Irish peasant that threaten
us with the recurrence of difficulties In
the future, for their conduct will encour-
age the repetition of tactics which they
have nnt vnnt1Irpd tn ore0n1e
COERCION PROBABLE.
Whithrear one of the most respected
liberators in the house Of commons,
speaking at Bedford last evening, de-
scribed vividly the reign of terror that had
left no honest calling safe in large part
of Ireland, and avowed his feeling that
the sad time had come when the govern
ment might be compelled to use coercion.
There have been liberal governments
before the present government, embar-
rassed by Irish difficulties, but they have
not been slack to do what they could to
assert the authority of the law. The
contrast between the spirit of these times
and the spirit prevailing now, IS little 10
the credit of the government, or that Of
the present general tone. One of the
worst evils consequent upon the govern
ment's attitude, is the effect it must have
on the popular reception in Ireland Of
their remedial legislation.
LONDON, Dec. 17.-At tenant right meet
ing at Laugh Gall county to-day those present
were principally Orangemen. A mob of fifty
persons took possession of the platform, which

favor of the peasant population.
