IRELAND.
The Land League Must Knucl1le
Under.

LONDON, October 26.-Sir William Har-
court, speaking at Glasgow yesterday,
after receiving the freedom of the city,
said both the late and present govern
ments were reluctant to proceed at an
early stage against the Land League,
because it was not desirable to sup
pres what pretended to be cOnstitu
tiOnal agitation, especially if connected
with the real grievance, but when such
agitation aroused illegal ends, no gov
ernment would fail to be supported in
any and all measures it might take for
the safety of society. The task, he said,
was difficult and painful, but the Gov
ernment having set it's hands to the
plough, they might rely upon its not
turning back. The speech was received
with prolonged cheering.
VIM. Fitzgerald, ID. D., Catholic Bishop
of Ross, has issued letter in cOndemna-
tion of the "no rent" manifesto of the
Land League, in which he says the
manifesto excited widespread dismay
among the best and truest friends of the
Irish people. Sir William Harcount was
carefully guarded by detectives while in
Glasgow. DR.. Kenny, parOchial medical
officer, has been dismissed. Only seven
members of the Sligo corporation were
present at the meeting to sympathize
with the suspects" The Mayor refused
to put motion of sympathy, Objecting
to the wording. Four persons were
arrested

JUDGE FOLGER

the Treasury.

rendered the SecretaryShip OF
the Treasury.
WASHINGTON, October 26.-It is posi-
lively stated tonight that Chief Justice
FOlger, of New York, has been rendered
and has accepted the appointment of
Secretary of the Treasury, and that his
name will be sent to the Senate to-mOr-
row. In connection with the appoint
ment it is asserted that FOlger agreed
to accept on condition, or with the un-
derstanding that he shall be appointed
to the United States Supreme bench to
succeed Hunt, who is confidently be-
count of physical disability. FOlger
really did not want the Secretaryship,
but is ambitious to go upon the Supreme
bench.
1t is still asserted by those who assume
to know that COnkling will succeed
FOlger in the Treasury before Arthur's
administration grows very old. 1t is
said COnkIing would have been appointed
but that since he has left the Senate he
has taken several very important law
cases and has accepted some thousands
of dollars in the shape of retainers from
his clients, therefore he cannot abandon
these cases, and it will be some months
before he can attend to them.
President Arthur is very anxious, SO
the story goes, to have COnkling at the
head of the Treasury, and his great em-
barrassment since Morgan declined has
been to find a man who would make
way for Conkling when he gets
ready to go in the Cabinet. Fol
gers retirement from the Chief
Justiceship of the New York Court of
Appeals will necessitate the election of
a successor and the Democrats may win
the election, and thus get majority of
that Court. That is one reason why
there was some hesitation in appointing
Folger to the Treasury. But after look
ing over the field it appears the Presi-
dent concluded he was the man wanted.
FOlger's preferences and tastes are so
decidedly legal and judicial that no
doubt he viii be willing to leave the
Treasury for a place on the United
States Supreme bench at any time. The
belief that Conkling is ultimately des-
tined for the Secretaryship of the Trea-
sury seems to be almost universal here,
and If he were at liberty to accept it is
believed the President would have ap-
pointed him.

SENATE SESSION.
The Treasury Investigation
Resolution.

WASHINGTON, October 26.-In the
Senate Mr.. Ransom offered resolution
that the power and authority vested in
the Committee on Commerce by the
resolution adopted May 3, 1881, with
reference to the inquiry Into the cOndl-
tiOn of the Potomac river, at Washing
ton, ID. c., be continued during the ensu-
ing recess and that the committee re-
port in December next.
Mr.. Butler offered a resolution direct
ing the Committee on Printing to in
quire why the Agricultural Reports for
1880 have not been distributed to Com
gress. Adopted.
Mr.. Sherman called up the resolution
offered by him Yesterday for an investi-
cation into the disbursements of the
contingent fund of the Treasury Depart
ment, after having modified it to read
as follows:
RESOLVED, THAT the Committee ON
Appropriations be directed to lnyestl-
gate the accounts for expenditures for
the several appropriations for cOntin-
gent or other expenses of the several de-
partments, the methods of such d1sburse-
ments, the character and disposition Of
the purchases made and the employment
of labor paid from such appropriations,
and to report at as early day as prac-
ticaDle what legislation is necessary to
secure the proper disbursements of such
appropriations, and that the committee
have leave to send for persons and pa
pers, and to sit during the recess of the
Senate.
The resolution was adopted, and on
Mr.. SheTman's motion the Meline re-
port was referred to the Committee on
Appropriations.
The Senate then went into executive
session. When the doors reOpened it
adjourned.

MIR. GREEN B. RAUM, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, spoke in favor of re-
pudiatiOn at Fairfax Courthouse, Va,
on the 21st, in company with Colonel
Cameron, the Reputation candidate for
Governor. About year ago this same
Commissioner Raum removed Virginia
Revenue Collector for openly advocating
Mah0nes cause. Raum was so proud of
the letter which he wrote to this col
lectOr that he gave it to the newspapers
for publication. In this letter Raum
said he was amazed to find an official of
the United States Government, and a
Republican too, giving his cOuntenance
to the heresy of Readjusterism, which
Raum declared was only another name
for thievish reputation. The Gov
ernment, jealous of its honor, could not
for moment tolerate such an attitude
on the part of a servant, and the Col
lectOr must consider himself discharged.
We all thought and said at the time that
Raum did the right thing. But now,
marvel of marvels, Raum himself ap-
pears on a platform side by side with the
head of the repudiation ticket, and
makes a speech urging Virginia to steal
$12OOO,0O0 from the men and women
who invested in her bonds II Utica OBJ

WASHINGTON, October 26.-First As

night formally submitted his resigna-
ton, which was accepted. MIR. HattOn,
of Iowa, will be appointed. m
General Tyner stated that while his
resignation has been requested, the
manner of complying was a matter of
consideration with him. He is prepar-
ing a statement which he will give to
the public, which will vindicate him
self. The Indianians are stoutlye de-
Tending Tyner, and say that it is not SO
much fyner as it is State pride that
they desire to Vindicate. 1t was stated
tonight that the President had inform
ed the friends of Mr.. Tyner that he
would hand him letter which would
relieve him from any charges affecting
his character. Among other things Mr..
Tyner will give review Of his eOnyer-
sations with the President on the sub
.ject of the Star route Investigations.

CABINET TALK.
MacVeagh's Action = FreIing-

WASHINGTON, October 26.-Attorney
General MacVeagh having left the city
and given a peTemptory notification OF
his withdrawal from the Cabinet, it was
stated to-day that Solicitor General
Phillips will be appointed Attorney Gen
eral ad interium. The course of the At
tOrney General is being much criticised,
as it was thought due to the President
that he should remain to bring the
Star route cases 10 an end. There is
some talk of inviting him to act as Gov
ernment counsel in these cases, and che
Attorney Generals friends think that
he should accept in justice to himself to
vindicate the accuracy of his declara-
tiOns upon the merits of these cases.
1t is now conceded that there will be
an entire recast of the Cabinet in De-
cember. The portfolio of the State has
been rendered to ex-senator Freling-
huysen. Beyond that nothing has been
determined. .l. a. .l.t.,....

Some Of the Southern papers do not
feel pleased over the invitation that
has been extended to Gen. Sherman to
be present at the anniversary Of the
burning of Atlanta. This feeling, to
Judge from editorials in some of our
Northern papers, is an indication that
the South is still locked in the firm en-
brace of inextinguishable Bourbonism.
What is to be expected That the
South will hail the coming of the man
who sYooped down upon their defense
less homes and destroyed them, even
though the stern necessities Of war re-
auired it9 By no means. The people
of Atlanta are justly incensed at an
act 80 inappropriate. 1t is contrary to
human nature, North or South, to jul
bilate over so sore stroke of misfor-
time. Gen. Sherman cannot expect,
OF consider himself entitled to, % demon.
stration from the people Of Atlanta

a statement made by the Beaver
Dam Argus, concerning alleged corrupt
practices at the Peshtigo elections, has
been contradicted, in letter from W.
A. Ellis, a prominent business man Of
Peshtigo, to the Milwaukee Republican,
as wholly untrue and without founda-
tion. The letter referred to would
seem to be complete refutatiOn of the
charge. Notwithstanding, the Argus
reiteratoS its charge, but refuses to
disclose the name Of the alleged promi-
nent and respectable citizen from
whom it obtained its alleged informa-
ton. The case is simple one. The
Argus refuses to back up slanderous
statement impugning the character of
town. The Argus may have the
right to do this, but a man who will
make such charge and refuse to give
ais name in the face of positive and
indignant denial may be as prominent
IS the citizens Of Beaver Dam choose
Go make him; to the citizens of Peshti-
go he is anything but respectable. A
paper that will give publicity to such
q statement and then hide behind a
pretended promise not to disclose the
mama of the author deserves to be
treated with contempt.
