An Appeal for Money-Tenants Urged to Stub
bOrnly Resist Eviction.
DUBLIN, Sept 28-Mr. Timothy Harrington
announced at the fortnightly meeting of the
Irish National League to- day, that since the last
meeting $780, 900 in donations had been received
by him as treasurer. He added that an enor-
nous increase in evictions throughout Ireland
must be expected, and said the League
would devote all donations received to the work
of relieving persons evicted.
John Dillon said peace in Ireland now de-
pended on the action of ths. landlords. Two
thousand families were now under notice of
eviction. Winter was coming, and already it
was imperative that the Irish people should
combine and help one another to resist, within
the law, the attempted tyranny of the land
lords, final victory being certain if this resist
ance was maintained. Mr. Dillon said, in con-
cluding, that tenants would accept the Ash
burne act AS a sop, but would resist coercion.
Joseph E. Kenny. NJ. p. for Cork, said the
tenants would fight with their backs to the wall
against threatened evctions.
Mr.. Harrington appealed to branches of the
League to subscribe literally to the fund for
evicted tenants.
MIR. Dillon declared the commission of inquiry
was fraud and an imposition, and that nobody
would believe in its honesty, and impartiality
if the eviction of tenants continued. Tenants
must touch landlords upon their most tender
point, their pockets.

letter from DIR. Salmon, dated Chicago, Sept.

John w. Langley, clerk in the Pension Ohice,
who las just been removed, as he asserts, be,
cause he is Republican, has written a letter to
the President on the subject, in which he says
that he was charged with ridiculing and abusing
his administration of the Office; that he has
asked the privilege of defending himself against
the accusation, and was informed that the evil
idence against him was very positive. No inves-
tgatlon was ordered, and he has now received
notice that his services are dispensed with. Upon
asking the cause, he was informed by acting
Commissioned Mclean that it was due to "out-
side pressure" Mr. Langley in his letter con-
tinues:
this is Democratic administration; that ,he Repub

your motives were sincere, and they determined to
