I,1oHT ON THE IRISH LAND CUES
TON.

The letters OF commissioner or re-
porter employed by the London Times
to investigate the condition OF estates in
the different provinces Of Ireland, have
recently been passing through the press,
and have done much to throw light on
the land question. The Times endorses
him as an expert on both agricultural
and economic questions. He has sought
information at all points, and from both
sides, and tenant farmers Of every grade
were interviewed to obtain clear IDEA
OF their condition.
His last letter summarizes the results
of his research. He begins with the
declaration that the Irish land question
presents varying aspects in various parts
of the island, on various estates and on
different descriptions Of farms. he
states that you will find, aim ,st side by
side, well.managed and ill-managed es-
tates. Great tracts of land, flourishiDg
under liberal treatment, join boundaries
with equally large areas OF starved and
neglected land, upon which better man.
agement would double the present re-
turn. In some cases the fault lies at the
landlords door. In others, the deteri-
Grafton is attributable to the shortcom'
ings of the tenants. The land laws,
though defective in several important
features, cannot in reason be held re-
sponsible for the exceptional poverty oil
the island. The correspondent states,
with distinctness which leaves moth
ing to be desired, that in Ire
land, under the law as it stands, ten
ants "enjoy more privileges, freedom OF
action and security OF tenure" that
can be claimed for their class elsewhere
in Europe. But he holds that the yalu-
able privileges which now belong to the
Irish tenant are liable to restriction, and
even to notification, by the power OF
the landlord to raise the rent unduly.
He admits that the abuse OF the power
is rare. Still even the chance OF abuse
ought to be prevented. He thinks that
the true remedy for this and other i'm
projections in the existing status is to
be looked for in the direction OF arbitra-
ton and appeal should be constituted
with power TO mete out jnstice between
landlord and tenant. To such tribu'
nal all disputes regarding rent tennre
and sale might be referred. Thus mis-
understandings and difficulties would
be settled without the creation OF an
tagonism, the intervention OF an eject
ment, or the risk which the tenant now
incurs OF losing his holding in suing for
compensation. 1t is remarked that
the corrective suggestions OF this
correspondent run very closely in line
with some Of the leading features OF the
new land bill.

People who needlessly worried them
selves denying there was any arrange
ment at Mentor, between the GRANT
chieftsins who were sulking, and GAR
FIELD who was in despair, must revise
their opinions in the face OF CoSKLIxG's
confession. Ii he don't make the ablest
effort OF his life, he will at least add an
interesting chapter to the history of a
remarkable political contest, particular
ly IL he will include what he knows OF
the ways and means taken to put HAYES
in the White House.

The Worlds Fair seems to be dead.
The Herald says: "The sense OF the city
and the country has been so fully taken
upon the proposal to have an interna.
tional worlds fair in New York, to be
held in 1855, that there need be no mis-.
apprehension as to pubic opinion. The
idea is no, popular, nor does it grow in
popularity. The wisest plan now is to
abandon it altogether. So long as there
was the hope OF reviving an interest
that was supposed only to be languid
the discussion OF the subject was use
iul. But no discussion can make peo-
pie do what they have no inclination
for.

THE President has a right to resent
the treatment to which he has been sub
jected. II has been neither courteous
nor fair. And the delay and embarrass.
ment caused to the public business in.
trusted to his execution concern him so
directly that he would have been iusti.
fed in protesting at an earlier day. That
so much of the deadlock rests upon an at.
tempt to put GoRHAN into the clerkship,
appears to have been more than the
President could stand.
