IRELAND
And Her Troubles.
Now or Never"

Cork, June ia gentleman b has
just returned from a visit to the most dis
! turbed districts in the south of Ireland says
he finds the opinion generally expressed that
the time between this and the passing of the
Land Act will be critical for peace and pros
| perity in this part of the country. Land
owners are every where enforcing executions
and evictions in order to get the arrears of
rent which it is expected they will be de
prived of by one of the most important OF
Parnell's amendments. 1t is " Now or New
er'' with them, II they are collecting rent
at the point of the bayonet. These iniica-
lions, coupled with the arrest of many of the
popular leaders, have been the sole cause of
the recent violent scenes at Skull and Skib-
bereen and elsewhere. This part OF the
country is doubtless in a most lawless state
and has been 80 for some months past, but
the fear is that with the example OF the sue
cessful resistance OF the law, which has al
ready been set, the people may throw legal
authority entirely to the winds and resort to
even more extreme measures. That this re-
sistance will lead to even more than %rioting,
no one has believed for an instant. The PEG
pie will attack any small body of police who
are carrying out evlctions or arresting lead
ers, but they will dispense when any large
body of military arrives, and wait until the
the next favorable opportunity. If this plan
is universally carried out by the people it
will be decidedly more effective than armed
rebellion.
Marching On.
Cork, June 10. - Fifteen thousand people
assembled Sunday in Mill street. but made no
attempt to hold a meeting. A large force OF
military and police, drafted for service, were
in town. The people formed a procession and
p,or,laI fhropoI, tho Straats with hands NAV
ing and banners flying. There was no speak
ing, except by the priest, who advised the
people to quit town quietly. The Bishop of
Ross addressed his congregations, and strong
ly deprecated the resort to Violence. Their
cause, he said, would be eventually gained by
vigorous constitutional action.
Exaggerated.
DUBLIN, June ia priest obtained the
magistrates consent for IA procession at Mill
street.
The Bishop of Rosa communicated the
following to the press: "The riots Of SIKH
bereen have been much exaggerated by the
English and Irish newspapers. 1t would be
unfair to charge the Land League with re-
sponsib lily for the disturbance. With the
continuance of evlctiOns there can be no
peace in the district.
LOnQOn reviewers.
LONDON, June 13.-SOme of the London
papers publish to-day a Formidable list of the
principal outrages and disturbances in Ireland,
reported in the newspapers during the week.
TIE catalogue includes the rioting at Liner
lex on the 4th inst. the disturbance at Skull
in defense of Father Murphy on the 10TH;
the rioting at Bally Dehab and Skibbereen On
the 9th the attempt to upset a train full of
and the destruction of the bridge be-
tween Skibbereen and Skull OH the same day,
the tearing up of the rails near Skibbereen
and the destroying of the telegraph wires near
Bally Dehab on the Sth the rioting at Cork
the 9th the destruction of the telegraph
wires between Skibbereen and Cork on the
10th, besides innumerabie attacks on the pro
cess servers and minor outrages. To these
must be added the Liverpool outrage. The
question is to meet these riOtous risings, and
is answered by most of the London papers to-
day by the usual demand for blood.
The Economist says: The best service
the Irish executive can render to the
people is to ensure that whenever the law
it shall strike with irresistible force.
The Spectator thinks that if the rioters
were invariably met by heavy volleys and
of cavalry, riOting would cease, but
the tories into such an insanity.
The Pail Mall Gazette takes the Times to
task for blood thirstiness and says: So fer in
in this country are concerned, thas
are are much more likely to be multiplicity
Than diminished by a resort to dragooninged
Ireland.
