Affairs in ireland.

DUBLIN, OcEobec 9th.-lt IS iunored that
Michael Devitt will soon be released.
The Csief Secretary for Ireland, speaking
at banquet to the Duke of Teck, said he
believed it was the opinion of a majority of
both members Of Parliament and their coz
stituents that the Land Act should have a fair
trial.
Parnell delivered an address at Wex-
ford to-day. Abiding to Gladstone,
he said, many of them had studied
the words of the great man and great
orator, who until recently had desire to i'm
press the world with coed opinion of his
philanthropy and hatred of oppression, but
who stood to-day the greatest coercionist and
most unIivaled slanderer OF the Irish nation.
He characterized Glsdstone's speeches as un-
scrupulous and dishonest. He (Gladstone)
had maligned the Irish people, the Bishops
aud Dillon. No misrepresentation was too
low or too mean for him to stoop to. 1t was a
goodsign that this smasquerading knight errant,
this pretended champion OF the liberties OF
all nations except the Irish, was obliged TO
throw off his mask to-day and stand revealed
as prepared to carry fire and sword into Irish
homesteads unless the people humbled and
debased themselves before him and the land
lords. Gladstone had accused him (Parnell)
Of preaching a gospel of plunder, but the
land had been contiscated three times over
by the men whose descendants Gladstone is
now supporting in the enjoyment Of their
plumber by bayonets and buckshot.
A manifesto of the Irish labor deleg ates to
the recent Land League Convention has been
issued. It praises the labors Of Parnell for
the success of the Land League, and refers
gratefully 60 the treatment. of the laborers at
the Convention. 1t urges representative
farmers and lsndholders to fulfill the pledge
there given to secure better dwellings for the
laborers.
