to be proposed by the chief secretary, for Ire
land, charging the powers of local boards for
awarding compensation to occupiers of land,
passage in the house of commons of local OPP

AMNESTY IN FRANCE.
PARIS, June 19.-Gambetta at meeting of
senators and deputies to discuss the amnesty
question, said that in the provinces as in Paris,
public opinion has accepted amnesty as neces-
sary The conservative and republican pa
pers of Paris are almost all pronounced for
amnesty. Republican organs in the provinces
also unanimously favored it. Four thousand
amnestied persons are now in Paris, and their
quiet conduct had refuted the fears expected
regarding the maintenance of order. Why
shrink from amnestying few persons? The
government could be sure of 800 adherents in
the chamber of deputies. In this state of
things it would be incompFehensible for the
senate to imperil the measure.
PARIS, June 19.-In the chamber of deputies
to-day Premier Defreycenet introduced a bill
for plenary amnesty to all political offenders.
The preamble of the bill says the present
tranquility reigning in Paris, the recent tri:
umph of loyalty at Lyons, and the approach
ing national fete, plenary amnesty can be pro-
claimed without danger; also, the ministry ap-
peals to your clemency, not3to your justice.
Amnesty is to be accorded to all persons con-
victed of political offenses or crimes in 1870
and 1871, and to political and press offenders
from that time until the present date.
The preamble was cheered. A motion for
urgency proposed by Premier De Freycenet was
agreed to, as was also the premier's further
proposition that the bill be referred to the
bureaux Immediately.
IRISH LAND BILL.
LONDON, June 19.-The second reading OF
the Irish land bill in the house of commons,
ia fixed for the 22d inst. The bill provides
that until the 31st December, 1881, ejectments
for non-paYment of rent in certain scheduled
districts where distress is prevalent, shall be
deemed disturbance of the tenant-landlord,
within the meaning of the landlord and tenant
act of 1870, and the tenant shall be entitled to
compensation in the discretion of the Judge of
the county court if non payment of rent is
caused by the prevailing distress, and the ten
ant is willing to continue in occupation on
reasonable terms as to rent arrears of rent and
otherwise and such terms are unreasonable
refused by the landlord. The bill meets de-
termined opposition from the conservatives,
who denounce it as confscation. The news
papers oppose the bill unqualifedly.
BURLEsQUE RELIEF BILLS.
LONDON, June 19.-In the Ehouse of COM
mons last night, Lord Elcho, liberal, gave
notice he would introduce two bills intended
as burlesque on the Irish relief bill. One
empoweringstne prime minister or home sec
rotary, to fix and remit rents, prescribe the
mode of cultivation according to the wishes of
the tenant, and regulate the price of agricuitu-
raj implements. and artificial mowers and the
other empowering the minister, or home secre-
tary, to fix the rate of interest on borrowed
money, all private contracts on these matters
to be null and void, the speaker to allow motto Q
of the bills to go upon paper. But they illus
trate the view that British property holders
take of the Irish bill.
