THE IRISH LAND QUESTION.
Tn cubic this mornlnff (riven us a brief abstract
Of a pastoral letter by the Roman Catholic Arch
bishop of Cashcl, In reference to the recent out
rage which have been committed In the South
f Ireland. The Archbishop earnestly denies
the assertion that any formidable agrarian con
spiracy exists in the inland, declaring that the
recent difficulties were chargeable to the conduct
of a few desperadoes alone, springing indirectly
from tho unhappy relations existing between tho
landlord and tenant, uud tho hardnhlp and dis
content which reoult therefrom. He looks for
ward to the settlement of tho land question as a
preventative of the recurrencojof such disturb
ances, and warns the people of Ireland that
their repotitlon will tend only to estrange and
disgust England, and thereby postpone tho day
when this settlement will be achieved.
Tho views of tho Archbishop throughout are
eminently reasonable and forcible, and should
receive tho unqualified endorsement of every
well-wisher of Ireland. If tho advice of such
patriotic and enndid men be heeded, instead of
the untimely appeals of such agitators as O'Sul
livan, tho late Mayor of Cork, tho welfare of
Ireland, and a liberal policy towards her on the
part of tho British ruling classes, will be mate
rially accelerated. But If tho land disturbances
lire to continue, tho obstinacy of the English
people will be thoroughly aroused, and the time
which shall witness tho ditienthralment of Ire
land Indefinitely delayed.
Tho dlsendowmcnt and disestablishment of
the Irish Church are great strides towards the
redemption of Ireland, but they fall far short of
the goal. Tho injustice of compelling more
than four-fifths of the people to contribute to
the support of a religious establishment for the
benefit of the remainder Is so glaring, that the
public opinion of England has at least been
thoroughly aroused to an appreciation of it, and
tho bill which will effect a remedy is progressing
through the House of Commons as rapidly as
could bo desired. On tho land question, how
ever, Mr. Gladstone's Government has thus far
maintained a studied silence. But, while this
Las been the case, John Bright has recently
taken occasion to give expression to his own
private views upon tho subject, regard
less of his relations to the Government as
member of Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet. Tho
yiews held by him, as might have beon expec ted,
are of tho most radical character, and involve
In their application an entire reformation of the
Irish land system. In the House of Lords, es
pecially, they have excited great attention, being
denounced by both Russell and Derby, and dis
avowed by the representatives of the Govern
ment. Yet it is generally conceded that nothing
short of Mr. Bright's plan will give prosperity
and contentment to Ireland, and, like the schemo
for the overthrow of the Irish Church, it will
receive constant accessions to tho ranks of its
supporters until justice, full and impartial, is
eventually meted out to the inhabitants of the
Emerald Isle.
Unjust and oppressive as has been the estab
lished Church of Ireland, the iniquities and hard
ships of the land system far exceed it. The
Irish Church has been maintained for the benefit
of a portion of the Protestant clement of the
population, including several hundred thousands
of people In its ranks. The land system, on
the contrary, is the grinding oppression of a
mere handful of non-resident aristocrats, among
whom the soil has come to be principally appor
tioned, and whose sole Btudy is made to be the
extraction from the Impoverished laboring
classes of the largest possible share of its products,
frequently passing the starvation line, and adding
famine to the other causes which are so rapidly
depopulating tho island. Holding his lot
practically upon tho mere sufferance
of his landlord, the small Irish farmer Is entirely
at his mercy, and between the uncertainty which
thus clouds his future and tho imperfection of
the agricultural system In vogue, if he succeed
In finding bread for his family to-day ho is com
paratively fortunate, even though absolute want
may stare him in the face on the morrow. That
contentment and prosperity should spring from
Such a system, the most blinded and headstrong
land monopolist will not venture to assert. Tho
cry of "vested rights" is tho only response
which ho can muster, and If he should
continue to adhere to these vestod rights,
regardless of tho consequences of his
obstinacy and short-sightedness, their
fate will as surely bo sealed in time as was that
of the vested rights of the slave ellgarchy of the
United States in human flesh and blood. The
land question In Ireland is tho great Issue which
the Liberal Ministry of Great Britain must
eventually face. Tho" overthrow of the Irish
Church engrosses their time and attention for
the present, but a few mouths will witness Its
triumph, and then will come before them the
far more difficult problem Shall tho Irish tenant
be placed on a living foothold, or will England
surrender her sovereignty over the island, in
volving a despoliation of the non-resident land
owners, "vested rights" and all ?
"OTHELLO'S" OCCUPATION GONE.
Tint cable this morning furnishes us with some
intelligence which might bo classed under the
bead of "singular If true." -Mr. Keveray John
son has declined the banquet tendered to him by
the authorities of Southampton. At the same timo
bo took occasion to express his gratification at
tho extinction of the late uppreutmslons of un
friendly relations between Great Britain and the
United States. Mr. Johnson Is probably grateful
for the smallest favors, but considering the
wrathful tone of tho British press ever since the
r.ontlnn of Mr. Sumner's speech, it is difficult
o wli.it ho finds in tho existing state
of affairs to congratulate himself upon,
That Mr. Johnson, under all the circumstances,
ahould think it best to leave the shores of Eng
land dinnerlcss is perhaps not to be wondered
at as be must by this timo have had tho fact
fo'rcqd upon him that all his own troubles, and
the anti-American excitement in England which
was occasioned by the rejection of his carefully
dffvlnpd treatr. was occasioned by bis after-
dinner earrulousncss. In declining tho 8outh
ampton dinner, therefore, Mr. Johnson has in
dicated that be Is beginning to appreciate tho
situation, and that he will return to us a sadder
and a wiser man. lue piay is piayua out
'Othello's" occupation's gone, and tho great
dinner-eater will dine no more for tho benefit
tf tho public, under the saddening conviction
tfcat posl-praudhil diplomacy Is a liuluru.
WHAT S IN A NAME .
Lojiq before tho official days of poor old Gideon
Welles were numbered. It becamo a chronic
fashion on all sides to denounce that genial
gentleman for everything which he did or did
not do. His very birth seemed to have been a
blunder, and to tho day of his death, if ho bad
remained in office, he would bavo continued to
revel In tho commission of the most egregious
mistakes, from tho slmplo lack of a capacity to
see tho force of any passing evont until tho
world had quite forgotten its significance.
Tho latest evidence of tills chronic state of com
plaint ngainst the unfortunate ex-8ccrotary of
the Navy Is found in tho announcement from
Washington that Secretary Boric is about to
aim a fatal blow at his predecessor's reputation
for originality by depriving certain of our ves
sels of war of their quaint Indian names, and
substitute for them tho titles of tho different
States, cities, towns, and rivers. Among tho
vessels which are to bo thus rcchrlstcnod aro tho
Agamentleus, Posaconawny, Pompanoosuc,
Quiuslgamund, Ammonoosiic, Catalpa, Chhno,
Contocook, Kcywadln, Kicknpoo, Kluwath,
Minnetonka, Mosholu, Tnnxis, Pushmataha,
Qulnnebaug, and others which arc regarded as
equally difficult of pronunciation and remem
brance, except by n full-blooded Tuscarora.
Some of these cognomens ccrtaialy cause an
unnatural contortion of tho organs of speech iu
tho utterance, but in tho main they are musical
and attractive, and certainly far ahead of such
high-sounding titles as tho Bull Dog, Freebooter,
Terrapin, Titmouse, Terrible, Thuuderbolt.
Pantaloon, Skyrocket, and Skinflint, which
have been so frcCiy made use of iu the nomen
clature of tho British navy. Each of them means
something, and If nobody knows what it does
mean, nobody can complain of its lack of
novelty, which is quite as desirable in the names
of vessels as it is in the names of rivers and cities.
Moreover, many of the vessels whose names
It Is now proposed to change to such threadbare
and unmeaning terms, when applied to ships, as
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Camden,
and Confederate Cross Koads, have achieved
a conspicuous place in the history of the
world by reason of the engagements in which they
figured during tho war, and to transform their
names would be simply to rob them of their pres
tige as well as to confuse both the people of tho
present day and the historian of the future. It
would not be less ridiculous to change the name
of the Kearsarge to Gunner's Run, after the noble
water-course which flows through the northern
suburbs of our city, than to substitute New Jeru
salem for Chlckamauga, simply because that
town was named in honor of some illustrious
red-skinned warrior.
As it is, too little care has been taken to pre
serve traces of the aboriginal inhabitants of the
country and of their lauguagu iu the designa
tions of localities, and wc think it would be well
to remedy this negligence by saddling an Indian
name on every vessel that we set afloat. If
Secretary Boric finds it impossible for him to
twist his tongue around Pasaconaway and
Klawath, let him remedy the defect iu such
glaring cases, when but littlo or no confusion
will be created iu the pages of history; but we
certainly think that a man who has lived nearly
all his life in a city with such a long-drawn-out
name as Philadelphia can manage Contocook
and Tunxls. If, as is claimed, tho application
of these Indian names to our vessels of war be
illegal, the ignorance of Gideon Welles and tho
custom of eight momentous years have rendered
the prohibitory statutes obsolete, and it will be
much easier for Congress to change the law (ban
it will be for the present Secretary of the Navy
to break a fresh bottle of water over the stern of
every vessel in our fleet.
THE MINERS' STRIKE.
It Is fortunate for the public that jealousies and
antagonisms exist between the various anthra
cite coal regions of Pennsylvania. They arc all
disposed to enhance the price of coal as much as
possible, and they arc well satisfied that the best
plan of uttaining this end, in the present state of
the trade, is to suspend operations for one or two
months every year, so as to prevent a glut in the
market. But their chief difficulty arises from
their mutual bad faith and the apparent impos
sibility of securing a universal suspension of
mining operations. A few years ago there was
a very general strike In the Lackawanna region,
but at that time the operators and operatives of
tho Schuylkill region, instead of co-operating iu
this movement, improved tho golden opportu
nity, and kept busily at work, thus realizing the
full advantage of tho enhanced prices caused by
the idleness of their northern neighbors. Last
year the Schuylkill region began the strike,
maintained it for several months, and induced
the Lehigh region to participate in It for a short
period, but the numerous efforts to entangle the
Lackawanna region proved fruitless, and
it reaped the full benefit of Increased
prices of coal without suffering any of
the loss and inconvenience resulting from a
temporary cessation of operations. Lacka
wanna having repaid Schuylkill by "a Roland
for an Oliver," preparations were made for a
combined raid upon the public this spring and
summer, in the belief that tho whole army of
coal miners would abandon their usual pursuit
at or about the same moment. A journal pub
lished In the heart of the coal region announces
that they supposed they had "formed a perfect
compact union, and it was agreed umong them
that they would in nil of the regions suspend
operations for at least two weeks, and longer If
it should be deemed necessary." But tho same
journal (the Mahanoy (laielU-) now dolefully
declares that "at the eleventh hour the Hyde
Park miners In tho employ of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Coal Company, who
are members of the Miners' Union, voted unani
mously not to suspend;" and It proceeds to de
nounce the recusants iu round terms for what it
calls "mean, contemptible, dishonorable con
duct." Coal consumers will take a very different view
of this subject, and hail with pleasure rather
than indignation the dissensions which will avert,
to a eoiiblilcrablo degree, the threatened danger
of extortionate prices. The public have
becu victimized so often by combinations
that produced a real or pretended scarcity of the
fuel which has become a necessity of modern
life, that It has hulo sympathy for the sorrows
deplored by the organs of tho miners.
Jimmy Hauoekty'h Counsel suddcnlv imml
tested, yesterday, an Intense desire to have his
case brought to trial, for which Mr. Hagcrt, the
AiwiBuuit Kimia; Attorney, accounted by lutl
mating that some of the Commonwealth's wit

In this case they will materially Increase tho

SUMNER SI SPEECH IN ENGLAND.
Mr. SmwiiKn's upeech on the Alabama question
has created as much excitement and Indigna
tion in England as some of his old anti-slavery
speeches before tho war created In the South.
Day after day tho British organs continue to
denounce and condemn it, but it Is a curious
circumstance that, following the example of tho
old pro-slavery Journals, they all fall to repub
lish it. They prefer to misrepresent lu con
tents, and, after ascribing to it Imaginary quali
ties, to maul away at tho creature of their own
Imagination, inHtead of letting their readers
know exactly what bis position !, and then
attacking it in an open and manly way. John
Bull Is worried by the consciousness that
ho acted unjustly and ungenerously towards us
when the "little onplcasantncss" with the South
existed. When be thought wo were goingdown
hill, he did not hesitate to give us bard kicks and
plenty of them, so as to make our position as
uncomfortable as possible, and to insure the
total destruction of the Union. He displayed
unduo and Indecent hasto In recognizing tho
Rebels ns belligerents. Ho openly threatened
immediate war If wc did not cat humble plo by
surrendering the captured Rebel ambassadors.
Mason and Slidell. And, finding that wc were
determined to give him no decent pretext for an
open declaration of war, ho helped tho South by
blockade runners, by furnlshlngsuppltesof arms
and ammunition, and by fitting out piratical
cruisers ngainst our commerce, as effectually as
If lie had been the sworn ally of Johnny
Reb. Ho felt very happy, in view of all his
sins, at the prospect of squaring accounts on the
easy terms incorporated In the Johnson-Clarendon
treaty. Against our manifold grievances he
would have trumped up a multitude of petty
claims, and it Is not impossible that, by an adroit
management before a commission, he would
have demonstrated that, in the final adjustment
of outstanding accounts, there was a balance in
his favor or, at the worst, he would only have
been required to pay over a few millions of
pounds to the United States. It must be con
fessed that Mr. Sumner's speech lias rudely
awakened the British public from this placid
dream. His estimate that full financial repara
tion to this country could not bo made by any
sum short of four hundred or five hundred mil
lions of pounds sterling touches Great Britain
in her most sensitive point her pocket; and
proves this the Amcrieau people have no dispo
sition to be humbugged by the plea that tho pay
ment of a pittance will be an ample compensa
tion for the unquestionable loss of an im
mense sum. Wc hac no expectation that
Mr. Sumner's bill, as ho foots it up, will ever be
paid, and it is scarcely probable that the Massa
chusetts Senator seriously contemplates such an
adjustment. But it is nevertheless true that he
has not overrated the injury inflicted upon us by
(treat Britain, and that, If reparation is not made
in some honorable and satisfactory manner, wc
may imitate her example by returning with in
terest, in the hour of her calamity, every blow
she inflicted during the Rebellion.
