THE SITUATION IN IRELAND.
The Recent Meetings in Ulster-Three Sig
nificant Facts.

The Recent Meetings in Ulster-Three Sig
nifcant Facts.
Letter from Michael Davitt.
On several occasions, recently, the Nationalists
of Ulster have proposed to hold public meetings
for the purpose of expressing their. views on the
general political situation. 1t was not pretended
that these meetings were called for an illegal
purpose, yet government which boasts that the
very cornerstone of it's Irish policy is ''that
every man shall be permitted to do, without let
or hindrance. what he has legal right to do has
consistently proclaimed all these National meet
ings. And why9 Because the landlord party,
who are at the head of the Orange lodges, or
ganized NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and the gov
eminent pretended to believe that there was
danger to the public peace But this same gov
eminent would place all the forces of the empire
at the disposal of a landlord who wished to
evct tenant for default of payment of an i'm
possible rent. Why, you may ask, why not by
all the forces of the empire insist that the Ma
tional party shall do what they have legal right
to dol That is just the question which the Pail
Mall Gazette and the English Radicals are be-
ginning to ask
But it is practically impossible to convey an
adequate idea of the exact situation in Ireland
to those at distance. The landlord party and
their auxiaiies the official classes are struggling
for continued existence with desperation and
an utter unscrupulousness without parallel in
our history. Never before had they such
villainous weapon in their hands as that with
which the present liberal government has fur
nished them, and never before were they more
inclined to make villainous of their power.

Forsters legislation in the readiness with which
it can be employed to serve the purposes of the
andlord and official classes. Under the present
regime, the manufacture of inforiners and the
packing of jurors, and the trumping up Of false
charges, have been elevated TO the rank of fine
arts. And from the enemy's point of view, all
this is perfectly reasonable. The landlord and
official party are fully alive to the significance of
the following facts

of the Land League afforded him; and that the

security, are ready and willing now to go in for
the total abolition of landordism.
2. That the almost total absence of crime, and
the patent fact that never were the people of
ireland more resolved to obtain, OF more hopeful
of the speedy restoration of their national rights,
has led the rank and file of the English Liberal
party to the conclusion that some concession
must be made to the national demand for self
government
3. That the industrial classes of England,
guided by the experience of Ireland, are becom-
ing more and more alive to the fact that land
lordism in England is a burden upon the commu-
nifty, and are demanding that the land shall be
made to contribute larger share to the burdens
of the state.
1t is accordingly necessary, from the landlord
point of view that the agitation for the abolition
of landlordism and alien oficialism should be
discredited in every possible way, so far as Ire
land is concerned, in order that the social revo
luton may be eheckmated both in this country
and also in England

RUSSIAN CRIMES.
A Dreadful Tragedy in Court-RoOm in
VOIhynia.

A Dreadful Tragedy in COurt-ROOm in
VOIhynia.
London Telegraph
A terrible tragedy was recently enacted in
open court, during the trial of two political pris
oners at Lusk in the Russian province of Volhy-
mia. Two Poles, named Wierzbcki and Wilczin-
ski, who were banished to Siberia after the
events of 1863 effected their escape some months
ago but were lately arrested in the province of
Volhynia, and brought up for trial, Wierzbich
is fifty years of age, and his companion forty
three The jury found both prisoners guilty of
the charge brought against them, and the former
was consequently condemned to ninety strokes
of the rod and banishment for life to the Sibe
rian mines, while the latter was sentenced to
ten years hard labor in the Siberian mines and
Punishment for life.
Hardly had the two unfortunate men heard
their fate when Wierzbicki sprang to his feet
and exclaimed: BE accused; We sou-murder-
ers! You will not see me tomorrow saying
which he plunged a large knife into his neck.
Great confusion ensued, and when the judge
called upon the guard and prison warder to re-
where TO be found. 1t was afterward discovered
that Wilczinsh had escaped; but he was recap
tured in the town. Wierzbicki lies in a precari
Gus state, little hope being entertained of his re-
covery. The public prosecutor has ordered the
arrest of all the officials whose absence from
court permitted Wilczinski to get away.

THE proceedings at the unwilling of the
Morton monument yesterday were in every
respect worthy the occasion, the State, and
the man whose memory is honored. The at
tendance of people from every part Of the
State was very large; the audience in the
Opera-house was in full sympathy with the
event, and embraced many hundreds of those
who had known Morton in the flesh, scores Of
him in the arduous responsibilities of his life
work; the brief addresses of Governor Porter,
Senator Mcdonald, and General Harrison
were full of feeling and apt expression; the
poem of Professor Ridpath added to the in
SEPARATION of the occasion, while the finished
and elaborate grafton of Colonel Thomp-

the character and services of the

of the latter half of this splendid eulogy held
the vast crowd in rapt attention, and will read
almost as well as when heard from the lips of
the venerable and beloved speaker. Although
not upon the programme, and, of course, not
anticipating the call, the remarks Of Senator
Harrison were chaste and appropriate, and
added to the symmetry of the entire service.
Colonel Dudleys welcome was warm, and his
response modest and soldier-lke. Take it for

MADRID, Jan 15.-In the Chamber of Depu-

visit to Germany, declaring that it was
inopportune and imprudent, betraying, as
it did, hostility to France He deprecated
the policy of the adventure and charged the
Sagasta Ministry with becoming tool of Ger
many. 'When alliances are concluded" he
said, they should be with England the West
ern powers and the United States" He declared
if majority of the Cortes opposed the projected
reforms it would be at the risk of revolution
and reaction.
In the course of the speech Castelar, was called
to order for attacking the Emperor Of Germany.
Marquis de la Vega de la Armijo, lately For
eign Minister, defended the Kings visit
to Germany to which he asserted there was no
political significance attached. The King, he
said, was made colonel of the Uhlans only be-
cause no other colonelcy vacant. The
Marquis denied that the visit was animated by
hostility to France.

Six Girls Murdered.

VueHsa Letter
A few weeks ago seven girls, employed at a
sugar factory in Balta, near Odessa, in Russia,
left that town in the evening to return to their
native village at some distance. The girls, be-
lated on the way resolved to pass the night in
the fields, and proceed at daybreak. They had
located themselves near a haystack in field adj

fears of robbery, placed their united weeks earn

greater safety. The unfortunate girls were all

ing no money on the persons of the other six
girls, murdered them in cold blood. They then
fired the stack, and in the confagration and
smoke the surviving and terrified girl effected
her escape and reached the village in safety. An
alarm was given, and the murderous band were
all arrested. The survivor had recognized the
murderers, who were all employed in the same
factory as their victims.
