Affairs In Ireland.

DUBLIN, October 27th.-The rumor that
the resignation of Earl Cowper, as Lord
Lieutenant Of ireland, is impending, has
been revived.
Six arrests have been made to-day under
the Coercion Act, including Che President of
the Kilkenny branch of the Land League.
The suspects in the Galway Jail passed
a resolution approving OF the mo rent "
manifesto.
NEW York, October 9th Henry George
telegraphs the Irish World from Dublin :
Arrests continue. The Land League has
ceased to hold public demonstrations, but
continues to meet privately in chapels and in
houses. The prisoners are allowed one visit
day, but that is hard to obtain, as only two
interview cages are used, which make the
conditions awkward and studiously humiliat-
ing Two barricades separate the visitor
from the suspect" One warden stands
behind the prisoners and another before,
catching every word and cycling every move.
Ali allusion to matters political is strictly
prohibited. The waiting visitors are com.
all sorts of weather. Even ladies are kept
vainly waiting on their feet all day in the
rain. All letters addressed to the prisoners
are closely read. The ladies of the Land
League are working with wonderful industry.
Emitted Ireland" speaks.
DUBLIN, October 9th United ireland,
the Land League organ, has an address to its
readers, saying: g 1t is now plain that free
dom Of opinion is for the moment at an end
in Ireland except for the enemies of the
people or for those still more dangerous
friends who are taking advantage of public
opinion in order to deaden the peoples
courage and aid the design of foreign coercion
by craven counsels nearer home. Whoever
speaks a word that is burning in millions Of
Irish hearts is struck dumb by mailed
hand Whoever openly or coyertly bids the
people TO desert the cause to which they have
pledged their lives and honor before the world,
is feted for his treason and glorifed for
his c1wardice Under these circumstances, a
journal which has no aptitude for apostacy
can continue to exist only by ceasing to ex-
press any opinion at all, and by combining
itself to collecting bare facts concerning the
great struggle which is now only commence
ing. During the reign of terror United Ire
land will be conducted on this principle. The
blank in its editorial columns every peasant
in his mountain hut and every friend of free
dom the world over will know how to trans
late. It will be a perpetual reminder
that, let bayonets be shaken in our
face, let some of those whom we
counted our own wiring cur hearts aud
give Joy to our nemies, these principles are
immutable and will yet triumph. Our gaze
turns from fsrocious England to the glorious
West. In the hands of the Irish in America
lies our fame. Upon the amount Of assist
ance at hand for those who have to endure
eviction depends disaster or triumph. Now,
as never before, apathy among our trans
atlantic brethren means death. Now or
never. one glorious effort on their part
means victory. Our backs are turned to
Rritain our faces toward tho West When
our voice is heard again, we have firm faith
that it will be in shout of victory.
