LAND LEAauERs wEAKENrEG.
LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The Dublin correspond
ent of the Times says signs of weakening in
the land league are becoming more numerous
under the continuous action of
the government. Many treasurers and
secretaries of local branch leagues have re.
signed and favor emigration. The payment
of rents is becoming general, even in the most
disturbed districts, and there is no difficulty
now in serving writs. The removal of league
funds to foreign countries Is regarded BY
tenants with suspicion, and the alarm
of leaders who talked so bravely when they In
Cured no risk have also helped to shake conf
dence III the league. There are also unmistak-
able signs that the league has been rapidly dis
ineegrating, and if the improvement con-
tinues at the present rate, return to at least
a semblance of tranquility will soon be gen
eral.
In all the London pastorals issued by the
Irish Catholic archbishops and bishops on
Sunday, strong hope was expressed that the
government would deal effectively with the
land question.

]. Folger, chief justice of the New York
court of appeals, and prominently mentioned
for secretary of the treasury, to collect from
the government S195, ,296.6S commissions for

court Folger was in 1S69-'7O assistant
United States treasurer in New York. He
claimed that the sale of revenue stamps was
not one of the duties imposed on him by the
act creating his Office, that the commissioners
put this extra duty on him, and he asked for
per cent. commission on the sales he made,
and 10 per cent of over S3,000,0O0 in proprie.
tary stamps. The court afflrms the former de-
eision of the court of appeals adverse to Fol
ger. This decision finally disposes of the
