DoncKnl is t' ' il northwcstorn county of Ireland. 1vrito within view of the Atlantic occiui , which Inshus Don- uunl'H western and northern coast. Thcso stormy counts are iiuluntcd overywhcro with ilcop bays , The interior of Donegal is n huul of mountain nnd of lough. Truvullera niireo , I holiuvo , tn pro- iionnciiiL , ' the scenery of Donegal to bo 'thu most roniiintio" in all Ire land , and sonic tourists , who liavo soon every t > art of Kurojio , assort that it is the most picturesque country ea&t of the Caucasus. 1 spout two days in cfosaiiiu it , in jaunting cars. from London-deiry to Gwcedoro , mm cortninly this route deserves the great. reputation that Donegal enjoys for noble bays nnd lovely lakes , nnd mountains high nnd dark. This is nil 1 ahull say nbout the scenery now , ns I visit the country to tell about the people and why they are so poor ; nnd nbout their rulers , nnd why they nro so relentless in their hatred of the native population , I propose to niako n political study of the County Done gal as u typical Irish county. POPULATION 01' DONKOAL. Donegal in 1371 , had : v population of 218Kil ; persons. There wuro about six thousand more fcinolca than males. During the famine two years ngo over 80,000 persons wore reported to bo on tlio relief list , In some parishes on the coast the people saved themselves from death by hunger by eating the black Boa-weed. Whole baronies \vero in semi-nakedness nnd rags. Prom no other county did I re ceive more pathetic accounts of the extreme destitution of the peasantry. The population of I/onegnl has been steadily decreasing with every decade. In 1841 ( the date of the last census before the grcatfamine ) its population was 200,448. It had been rapidly increasing. Tlio famine swept away over 41,000 , exclusive of the ex pected ( nnd otherwise inevitable ) in crease. Up to 1871 , the succeeding twenty years showed a further loss of 30,82-1 persons. This shows a steady decline during 30 years at the rate of 14 , 7 nnd 8 per cent each decade , with out reckoning the natural increase. I hare not been able to obtain the sta tistics of 1881 , ns only summaries of the census have been issued. But the decrease has continued , it is stated , with a quicker waste of population. THE LAND AND WATim OF DONEGAL. Donegal has an area of 1,107,154 acres ; 22,880 acres nro water. The rivers and loughs are the property of individual landlords who rent out the fisheries. Only 247,281 acres are un der tillage ; 411,000 acres are in pas ture ; 0,308 are in plantation or woods ; 505,710 are waste mid bog and moun tain. These figures show that there is about one person to every three acres of "arable and pasture land , " and about 18 to every 100 acres of the entire county , liut this gives an im perfect report of the density of the population , because the pasture lands do no moro to support the people of Donegal than the plains of Colorado. It is the tillnge lands only that are available to them. The returns for tillage bhow 247,281 to support 218- , 334 persons. Deducting tpvn ) and house sites and yards , nnd ditches and roads mid-rivers , this proves that each nnd every aero of accessible soil of Donegal every nero of the wet , marshy , cold soil of the coast ns well ns the more fertile fields of the inte rior valleys is expected to support one person , who is sternly compelled to pay rack-rents for his holding , in order to maintain u class of absentee idlers in luxury abroad , and their agents 'and other dependents in com fort in this county. DWELLINGS OF THE PEOPLE. There are 40,354 dwelling houses inhabitatod in Donegal. There wore 53,503 inhabited dwellings in 1844. Thcso houses are divided in the gov ernment reports into four classes , and these again into four classes of "accomodation. " _ Thp fourth class of houses 'comprises cabins only having one room and window. In this class there are 7C03 houses or cabins , built of stone or brick mostly stone , nnd 45 mud cabins. These mud cabins are rapidly disappearing. "I visited ono cabin yesterday built of sod and thatched with straw. It had no win dows. There was no chimney only a hole in tlio thatch. There was no fireplace. The smoke filled the cabin so densely and the heat was so intense that I could not remain a minute in it. It was , in table , and cow-house , and pigstyo , and henory as a well ns a kitchen , nursery and bedroom as all of these "fourth class" cabins are. The door was of ! ' its hinges , and the open doorway served for window , ventilator and chimney. More than half of the cabins in this great parish are of the fourth class. Of these 7C03 houses , 7,542 nro in habited by one ( human ) family ; 55 "accomodate , " 0 families each ; 5 have 3 fannlcis each , nnd 1 has 0 familicH within its walls. Third-class houses are cabins having from 2 to 4 rooms and windows. There are 15,771 houses of this class. Six of them shelter four families each ; 24 of them shelter 3 families each ; 741 of them shelter 2 families each , and 19,722 are occupied by single families. Second-class houses are officially described as "what might bu consider ed a good farm house , having from 5 to 7 rooms and wiudows. " There nro 12,010 such houses. Ono of them contains 5 families ; 11 contain 4 families each ; 42 contain 3 families each ; 202 contain 2 families each , nnd t'.io ' rest contain single families. In the first class are ranked all houses of n "bettor description than any of tlio preceding classes. " Tliero are 1110 houses ranked as first class ; but the "accommodation" is some times fourth class. Ono house is re ported to hayo 10 families ; another 8 families ; another 7 families ; 4 of them 0 families each ; 2 of them 5 families each ; 5 of them 4 families each , and G5 of them 2 families each. Thu rest shelter single families. UBUaiONH OV DONEOAL. Of the 218,344 persons in Donegal , 105,270 are Catholics ; 27,125 nro Protestant Episcopalians ; 23,030 are Presbyterians ; 1$18 nro Methodist , and 1041 belong to other Protestant denominations. In Ireland the term Protestant is. generally used to denote an Episcopalian < > r member of the Diseatablislied church. Among the "other denominations" there nro four "Friends " "P.rothren" , ono ( Plymouth - mouth Hrothreii ) , one "l-Vfethinkor , " ono "Anabaptist , " two " .lows. " two "United Vrosbytormns,1' "Inde pendent , " ono "Xo Profession , " five "Non-Scctafians"teii " " - , "Chiistiam , two "Congregntionnlists" nud four "Unitarians. " Even of the largo sects elsewhere , to tjivo one illustra tion , there ivro only IL'd Hnptistw in Donegal. Those figures show that over 7f per cent of the population nro U.itholica ; over 12 per cent Kpisco- paliaus ; 11 percent I'rrshytoii.uiH ; 1 per cent Methodists , and only 0 . ' 5 pur cent scattering sheep of otlier Hocks ecclesiastical , Till' OLD 1K1SH TOMll'U. Americans are apt to regard the Irish ni essentially the same race ns the Kin-Hall as , however originally distinct in history nnd antagonistic in politics , ns much nu > mbers of the sumo nntionnl family , as , for example , the Texan nnd the Downonstor , or tlio South Carolinian and the Northwest- ernor. A brief visit to the West of Ireland soon dispels this theory. Ameiica has been able tn fuse in her continental crucible , HI hi to run into the mould of her own national life , the most stubborn characteristics of every Kuropean race. She lias made the most patriotic Irishmen American citizens first , oven nit hough Irishmen still. 13ut England by her policy of robbery nnd hnto , protracted now through centuries , hns intensified nnd hardened every race clmr.ictoristic of the old Irish people. They mo not members of the British empire ns South Carolinians nnd Down Easters , Toxnns and Californians , however dis tinct in their characteristics , are Americans. The Irish regard the English ns foreigners , as well ns oppressors pressers , and hate them as English for centuries hated the French , and spoku of them ns natural enemies. In many of these western parishes not n word of English is over spoken in the cabin , or in the fields , or .it the fairs , from January to December , unless a tourist or n constable nddrcsscs the peasants. They speak Irish only. Lust Sunday I hoard the priest here , Kov. Father McFnddon , preach a sermon in Irish. In 1871 , counting persons over 10 years of age only , no less than 18,02 ! ) could speak no other tongue than thu old Irish , while 44,50(5 ( spoke both English nnd Irish. The peasants who can speak both languages rarely use the Entrlish. I visited with Father McFnddon yesterday upw nrcls of thirty cabins , and in most of them the wo men could not utter an English word. In every cabin tlio priest wns saluted in Irish ns ho entered , and the con versation was carried on in that lan guage. AOHAHIAN CHIME IN 1UKLANI ) . Last year , according to Mr. Fors- tor and Mr. Gladstone was especially noted for agrarian crimes , so much so that it was deemed necessary to sus pend the writ of habeas corpus. In 1845 there wore 137 homicides in ] roland - land ; in 181(5 there were 170 ; in 1818 there were 171 ; in 184 ! ) there were 203 ; in 1880 there were six only ! There was not ono murder in Done gal. There have been no extra judi cial executions of "agrarian despots" no killings of landlords in Done gal since the aompwlnit premature death of Lord Lcitrim in 1878. ABOUT A DKCKASKl ) LANDLORD. This county abounds in stories of this lord's "village despotism. " They exceed belief. I stood a few days ngo on the spot , where he was slain. No ono in Donegal has any pity for his fate. " did kill the " "Why they car-driver ? I asked n laborer wlip wan working in the road where Loitrim died. "It was the only mistake they made , " was the quiet answer. I told in A hundred American cities last winter the story of Lord Leitrim's death nnd the immediate cause of it , I heard it in Connaught nnd again in America , und "I told the story as "twas told to mo. " I am now con vinced that the version I rendered ( as Bishop Colcnso remarks of the books of Moses ) was possibly myth ically or poetically true , but that it was historically incorrect. Lord Lei- trim's offences against families were many and merciless ; but I now be lieve ho was slain for his tyranny as n landlord. Whatever else I may have learned about it I must allow to re main untold , excepting only a narra tive of some of his dealings with his tenantry , which I shall give to you by-and-by. UAILIIOADS AND IlIVEItS ItENTED. Last summer I discovered in the south and west of Ireland that the tenants were charged for the streams , rivers , roads and railways that ran through their farms. I was told that the practice was universal throughout Ireland , but I hud no time to prose cute the inquiry , although both around Dublin , and in the counties of Cork , Kerry , Mayo and Gal way I procured evidences of it. As far as my own in quiries extended , I found that if a bye-way or highway intersected n farm , it was measured and charged for as if it was part of the estate. If the road formed the dividing line between two estates each proprietor charged tha tenants whoso farms wore bounded by the road into the middle of it , and and the same rule was adopted when two tenants of the Hamo rule was adopted when two tonnntH of the same landlord had holdings on opposite Hides of the highway. Streams nnd rivers wore charged for in the eamo way , Yet , although the streams and riynrs were thus regarded , for the purpose of rt'iit , us arable land , no tenant thus paying for them dared to fish in them , or ho did so nt his own peril , as a poacher , nnd ho was fined and. imprisoned as a poacher if caught in the act ; for after charging rent tor the area of the rivers , the landlords lease these streams to sportsmen for the season , I hoard of other land lords who , after being compelled to sell the right of way to railroads , still continued to charge rent for the ground thus sold. My friend , Mr. Ilofornan , now in jail ns a "suspect , " offered to conduct mo to ono farm in the County Cork , rented at high rates , whore the tenant was forced not only to pay for the largo strip of his farm appropriated by the railroad that crossed it , but for inora than an acre of land once excellent pasturage , which the contractors had carried elf ns gravel in building the road , nnd so utterly destroying its value , The same "agrarian outrages" nro committed in Donegal. I fiiid that Mr. Gladstone's attention wai called tn it us Into ago as last month. Thu ccrrcupondcnco is printed to-day. John Flanagan nnd John T.iylor , tenants of Kov. Robert Delnp , Monet * luiij Killygordonin tin's county , coin- plumed in n letter dated July 1 , that they and thtir fellow-tenants had been forced "for those eighteen years to pay fur ground occupied by the Finn Valley railway , ns well na for public loads and fivers. " "This iii a general complaint , " they write , "ahum * 'iis ' line of wihmy , torminuting nt Stianorlar , County Donegal , and Strnbano , County Ty two. The tenant-farmers nloni ; this route have frequently nnd respec tively petitioned their landlords to reduce - duce their rents proportionately on this account , but to no purposu. Act ing on their own nssumed preroga tives , the landlord ) ) turn n deaf ear to their tenants' appeals for n reduction of rent on account of nhstmctcd ground , but instead they have put on us n greater burden by ruisini ; our rents latteily 1870 , ns well ns making us pay for railway ground. The llov. llobert Delap in the landlord who in- Diets such hardships on us , " Mr. Gladstone's reply , through n secretary , is that , under a law of William IV. an occupier ns well as an owner has "a light to npply for com pensation when hind occupied by him is taken for n road ; " and thnt under an act of Victoria a tenant from year to year , if any of the land which he occupies is taken for a railway , is entitled - titled to huvo notice served upon him to sell his interest , or to got compen sation ns though ho wore the owner in fee. " This reply from n statesman of good intentions shows how abso lutely the poor Irish tenant is in the power of the landlord ; for although the Ulster custom prevails hero , nnd although often all of the letting value of the holding has bi-cn created by the tenant , yet these laws give him no protection , because they must be en forced , after most expensive prelimi nary proceedings by the grand jury nt the county nssixcs , a court of land lords , land agents and their cham pions and partisans They always throw every obstacle in the way of the tenant striving to secure his legal rights. This reply has reference only to the minor evil the confiscation of the tenant-right in the laud appro priated by railways , It wholly evades the vital questions submitted to the premier-how , by law , to prevent the landlord from charging rent forever for land that ho no longer owns. No power in Ireland , from Irish assassi nation down to English legislation , Inw ever been strong enough to reme dy any ono vital evil of landlordism , until the land league confronted and defied it. And for daring to grapple with this evil power , the majority of the ablest leaders of the land league- nro in exile or in prison. .JAMKH KKDVAIH. roll Down , Mr. Albert Anderson , Yoik Htreot , IJuf- falo , fell down htixirs und noyorely biuUod his Iciico.
