News From IRELAND.

The Irish authorities appear to be. making
every effort to preserve the peace without
shedding blood, and to this end frequent pre-
cautions have been ordered in various parts
OF the country. At one place bellman was
arrested for melting breach OF the peace,
and bail was refused
Some soldiers on leave have been ordered
TO return to Ireland. The feeling among the
lower orders Of people is said to be very
strong against the military, even in Dublin.
1t is common practice to shoulder soldiers
OFT from the foot-path to provoke quarrel.
The movement Of troops excited q very un-
easy feeling. It is generally believed that
government possesses information warrant
ing the apprehension Of danger. The GOV
ernment has, consequently, made very COM
plete preparations for any contingency I'm

Washington special says: TIE interview
with General Sherman, claiming that the
President cannot retire him, excites the live
liest comment among officer The fact is,
the law applies directly to army officers, and
covers bis own officers, equally with that Of
a ID lieutenant The President cannot retire
him until bis 62d birthday, which will occur
in February, 1882.
Shermans views about Grants promotion
are expressed SO freely here by him as to
seriously compromise their friendly relations.
Grant is anxious to be made Captain General,
but the manner Of Shermans attacks On the
proposition is exceedingly distasteful. The
assertion by Sherman that Ord was retired
because he did not vote for Garfield, while
Mcdowell was retained because he did vote
for him, will attract more attention from the
army officers than any other It is not be-
lieved that the President will overlook this
charge 1t Sherman is correctly reported,

done an amount Of business that speaks vol
umes for Benton's growth in the way of build
ing IN more substantial way, and they have
| by their enterprise aided largely in placing
this among the metropolitan towns of the
Territory. Their yard is situated behind the
butte, where they have an inexhaustible store
Of good material They were hampered LAST
fall by the lack Of good machinery, which
they could not obtain, owing TO the latenesa
Of their starting. This will be supplied dur
ing the coming season by two of the best
brick-making machines to be had, and their
united capacity will be forty thousand bricks
per day-sufficient for Benton's need during
the coming year. They employed from fif-
teen to twenty-five men last season, paying
from $3 to $6 per day for each, and were the
means. .of scattering a large amount of money
among the varied interests Of Benton. In
this connection it is but just to them to add
that they never failed to meet their labor
payments every Saturday night, an example
that should be universally followed.
During the short season of last years work
they made 725, 900 bricks, most Of which they
laid in the wall themselves Among the
houses which they furnished and built were
Maj. Dunne's, Rufus Payne's, and r. S.
Prices They furnished the brick for Muir
ply, Neel 81 Go. s new store and Beckmans 3
house, and have the contract for T. G. Pow
er's new store, the foundation of which is
nearly completed and ready for spring oper-
atoms, which building will consume $50, 600
brick. They have also the contract for furn-
ishing brick for the new hotel which will be |
erected in the spring, and which will require
500, 900; also will furnish brick for W. s. |
WetZels new residence, and for new store |

u,Eae HsOnca Indians.

The New York Herdld's Washington spec
ial says: a special delegation OF 19 Ponca
chiefs now here, had an interview with the
Secretary of the Interior and the members OF
the Presidents commission recently appoint
ed TO go TO Indian Territory and make q full
investigation into the circumstances Of their
removal from Dakota and into their present
condition. The chiefs declare unanimously
that they wish to be let alone and allowed to
remain in Indian. Territory where they were
removed by Inspector kemble. They de-
clared the stories Of their sufferlngs and
the loss Of half Of the number from sickness,
greatly exaggerated. There are now $40 Of
the original 750 living il the Territory and
1856 elsewhere, showing loss OF less than
100 since their removal in 1877. They de-
nounca the interference Of Tibbles; who has
been the means Of getting up an excitement,
as unsolicited BY them, and ask that he be
kept away from them. On the whole the in
tervieH was a complete refutation Of the
stories about the hardships Of the Poncas,
and ii is doubtful If the Presidents commits

Hayes Policy 80 be Continued for egse
Next FOur Years.

CHICAGO, December 24-A Washington
special to the Times says: Suspicion is in-
creasing to the fixed belief that Hayes policy
bids fair to be continued during the mex,
four years The reason for this belief is the
manner Of the present administration in dis
posing Of the patronage Of the State OF New
York.
Daniels, nominated for postmaster Of Buff
alo, and Haskell to the same position at AL
bany, are Conkling's political enemies. In
vestigation at the Postoffice Department de-
velops the fact their names are sent in two
months in advance Of the eXpirations of the
commissions Of the present incumbents.
Other important federal Offices in that State
will be filled by Hayes. The commissions Of
marshals i'll the two northern districts of New
York, (Conkling men) expire in February.
The names OF their successors (prominent
anti Conklingltes) will be sent in after the
holiday recess. The commission of Stewart
!. Woodford, district attorney, expires in
February, and he will be succeeded BY an
anti -Conkling man. The entire patronage of
che States is made anti Conkling by Hayes,
4 advance Of Garfield It can be said on the
highest authority that these appointments IRE
at the REQUEST of Garfield.

Gov. Stafford or the Situation In Ire.
Hand.

Governor Stanford, OF the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, has just returned from
visit to Europe. While abroad he made q
brief stay in Ireland. The Sacramento Bee
publishes the result Of an interview with him
on matters in that unhappy country. The
Governor seems to have formed correct views
OF the land question In response to an in
qulry OF the reporter he said
| could not help coming to the conclusion
that the tenants cannot now. even if they
were willing, and never can again paw the
rents OF the past; hence the landlords must
submit to be greatly reduced in their income,
to say the least, indeed, If they shall not, in
process OF time, be deprived of it altogether.
Reporter-And what If they shall be Gov
ernor?
Governor Yes, what if they shall be?
They are but few, comparatively. They are
about as useless in community or nation
as any people well can be. IF they were
gradually to sink out of sight, as landlords, [
do not see that anybody would be harmed
certainly the people would not be injured;
and ii these men were thus forced into some
useful calling, they and theirs might thereby
be greatly benefited
