ANTRIM.
TIE Lord Lieutenant's Ulster tenants
are still recalcitrant, refusing to con-
slider the honor which is reflected upon
them by the Viceroyalty OF their land
lord as fair consideration for the pay
ment Of rackrents. Now, the New.
towards Farmers Association, loyal
men all met recently and passed resolu--
tons which are not calculated to soothe
the feelings Of his Excellency. In the
first place, they advised their fellow
tenants not to purchase upon his Ex-
cellency's terms. Why? Simply on the
ground speak Of it not in the Castle!-
that ''drastic changes in the govern
lnellt Of the country are likely to be i'm
mtd1ately carried into effect" ami it
would be we'll to wait until the recon
stituted Legislature may have an OPP
portunity Of fixing fair basis OF pur-
chase.' Lord Londonderry's master,
the Prime Minister and his colleagues
are all pledged against any changes in
the Governm ent, SO shat the opinion of
the NewtoWnards farmers is evidently
that changesand drastic, moreover
will be effected despite the Coercionists
It is sound judgment on their part
and the prudence OF waiting a little
longer before purchasing is entirely
commendable. The other resolution
protests against the tricks CT the
wretched Land Commission, and OBJ
jeets strongly TO the notable device of
yaluing the land in the interest of the
landlords, at a season when it is impos-
sible, even with the most honest inten-
lions, not to assess rent upon the ten
ants good cultivation. The Ulster
tenants were late in finding their voices,
but they will be heard from yet TO some
effect.
ARMAGH.

GLAZE.
The time for the eyictlons on the
Vandeleur and other local estates was
fixed for the 10th of May. There is no
chance of settlement Tbs tenants
were preparing for the struggle
CORK.
Mr.. Condor, NJ P, was sentenced to
a fortnight's imprisonment The
charge against Mr.. Condor was one of
taking part in an unlawful assembly,
and the gravamen OF the offence appears
to have been discovered by the Crown
Prosecutors in speeches delivered, not
by Mr.. Condor, but by Mr.. William
O'Brien and Mr.. T. M. Healy! Mr..
Healy has a word or two TO say on this
extraordinary method of prosecution in
our columns, and it does appear an ex-
treme and intolerable development of
the system under which the Coercion
prosecutions have hitherto prospered to
make member of Parliament respon-
sible for what other members have
been made to say by incompetent police
stenographers. Mr.. Condor, however,
had to be got rid Of, and the Remova-
bles of North East Cork were not par
ticuiar in finding all excuse for shutting
him up. 1t is known to them, as we'll
as it is known to and appreciated bv the
tenantrY Of the Kingston Estate, that
largely to the unceasing and self-sacri-
icing labors of Mr.. Condor was due
the recent settlement between the
Countess Of Kingston-or her mortga-
gee representatlves-and the tenants,
a settlement which restored some sem
blance Of peace to the Mitchelstown
district. There is not a man in Mum
ster who has done more for social order
within the past few months, or whose
influence. aud it is considerable, has
been so successfully directed against
the commission of every form of crime
and outrage, than Mr.. Condor. For
bis pains in this regard, he has been re-
warded with two weeks imprisonment.
This surely is encouraging to the peace
