Land League Tactics in UIster-TerrOr-
 ism and LawIessness-Baycott Ap- piled to the COnstabulary-A New Peril for Parnel1.
 LONDON, Dec. 9.-A Dublin dispatch to the Tunes says
 ''The Land League is conducting the campaign ir
 the North with @ & ski its pro Judices of the people of Ulster: In that province prevailing in other parts of the country with view of consolidating Presbyterians, Liberals and orangemen The system of 'Baycotting' has been ap, piled to six attachments of cOnstabulary in different parts of Ireland"
 The government has ordered accommoda- dation for one hundred and fifty soldiers to be prepared at Ballina, Ireland where lady, landowner, was recently mobbed and as, saulted in the street.
 Any two magistrates can bind over per sons whom they have reason to suspect o1 even an intention to participate in unlawful proceedings or assembly, or in case of re fusal to be bound over they can commit them to jail. They can bind over any person whom they believe can give evidence relative to such proceedings, and if they refuse to be bound over to give evidence they can commit them to jail. The correspondent of the Tunes at Dublin, commenting on this, says
 ''The truth is the magistrates, agents and landlords generally are panic-stricken, and do not venture to enforce the law. A prosecu- ton brought by the Attorney General at Bal insloe, and another in Sligo, have broken down, which has had discouraging effect There is also difficulty about treating Land League meetings as unlawful assemblies. The magistrates do not feel justified in regarding the threat to 'Baycott' as coming within the act, as it does not imply violence.''
 The London correspondent of the Leeds Mercury says he hears that the law officers are considering Mir. Parnell's recent speech at Waterford, and it is not improbable that he may be indicted on distinct and separate charge in connection with that speech.
 MT. Shaw-Lefevre, the new Commissioner of Works and Buildings, who is universally recognized as holding the most liberal views on the subject of Irish land, and who has said that he was advanced to his present post specially with view to the services he could render in debates on the land question, in his speech at Reading last night said that ownership was the highest degree of se- curity known to the law, but there were many degrees of security for tenants short of this which might be capable of more immediate application. The formation of a class of peasant proprietors, he said, must nec- essarily be slow, unless we are prepared to ex- propriate the landlords at our own price. It would be easy to show that this could not be for the benefit of Ireland. It would multi ply the evils of absenteeism five-fold, and would result in not only fifth to but all the rent of Ireland being sent out of Ireland in the shape of interest on purchase money. A system of extended ownership could not last if it had it's origin in confiscation and robbery Whatever is done must be with every regard to the rights or compensation of helandlord He said he had no sympathy with the plans of intimidating and the violent methods of the Land League. They had set up a govern ment in opposition to that of the Queen, and this was a state of things which could not be allowed to continue.
