|, CHICAGO, March 19.-During one of tn
+ Irish debates i'll the British Parliament re
Gently, when the character and composition
OF tho Land League its principles and prac
. tees. were being discussed, Mr.. David Plum
+ kett, one Of the Tory members for Dubli1
t University, referred in scathing terms to tn.
t base insratitude of Irish tenants generally
and Of the tenants of one Irish landlord il
particular. lie endeayored to show how thu
: lnalisn Influence Of the Land League had
changed a simple, kindly peasantry into base
ingrates; how a kindly, generous, con.
siderate, soft~hearted, ope1l-handed
landlord had been rewarded for
his many kindnesses to his tenantry
by theirrefusal under Land League influence
to pay their just debts,-exceedlugly moderate
rents. Had the English members not been
tie stoiid Engfistln1en that they were, they
would doubtless have been melted into tears
by the eloquent presentation Of the miserles,
| pains, penalties, and sufferngs which his I'M
! grateful tcnantry Inflicted on him, accord ing
to The eloquent Mr. Plunkctt, grandson Of
] the Irish orator and patriot.

in question is Col. King ng-Harulan, Of Boyle,
Ill the County of Roscommon, who sat In the
last Parliament us the representative Of
Sligo County, but who towards the close Of

Tories, OIL being made a County Lord-Lieu-

and disnitles III. the gift of the British
Minister to reward backsiiding Irish repre-
sentatiscs.) This Col. K1nGlIarnan has es-
tates i'll Roscomnlon. Sligo. Queens County,
and Longford. His annual rental is about
S2s5.O00. That is to say. $$o!,25 coo is drawn
every year from the industry of the people
that Col. King~iIarman may live in ease and
luxury, and support his dignity as Lord |
Lieutenant Of the County Of Roscomnon, in |
the Province of Connaught, and in What used |
tQ be the Kingdom Of Ireland. Col. King t
llarnan thought, no doubt, and still thinks, |
that he IS Il most excellent landlord, that he |

warus served as one Of the Commissioners
