BUTLER'S ACCEPTANCE.
Xew Yonic, June 17. In response
to the formal announcement of his
nomination for the preidency by the
Greenback national convention, "Gen.

grateful acknowledgment for the hon
or conferred, he continues as follows:
Tlicgrc.tt questions you present arc
liiiihcr and grander than any mere po
litical treasure, dearly a quarter ot a
century ago, when the very existence
of the republic mid the es

the issue of the greatest civil war the

by wisdom born of imperious necessi
ty a financial system, springing from
patriotic impulse to save the nation's
life and te-cuc the hope .of free institu
tions for all men from going down for
ever in darkiiDss and death, was deviled
by great and ;ood men. That day, to
whose care itepublican government

by the people had been confided, that
system of finance for lrce people in
i( infancy said the life of a nation
perilling without it, and broke the
chain which enslaved four millions
of men, it gave the country,

from Xew York county.
John Kelly declared positively to an
Associated Press reporter to-night
that if the convention upholds the ap
portionment of delegates from Xew
S'ork, the Tammany hall Democrats
will not enter the convention, but will
take the first train for home.
The Democratic state committee
met in the United States hotel to
night, with Daniel Maiming in the
chair. A. resolution of the Tuiuiimuv
i hall committee on organization was
' read, claiming representation in the
convention equal to that of any other

INGALLS AND BROWN.
Joe Brown, of Georgia, Interpolates and Ingallt
Immolates.
Washington, June 16. -Ingalls rose
to a question of privilege. He read
from the debato of last Friday on the
bill' relating to the claim of tlie state
of Georgia for money spent for the
common "defense in 1777. Ilo objected
to certain words, which, he said, had
been inserted in the handwriting of
Brown in the official representatives'
manuscript of the debate, and which,
Ingalls claimed, had not been spokcu
of m the senate. He said he was al
ways willing to submit to the fortunes
of debate, whether of victory or of de
feat, but wasn't Fccuro against the
Parthian arrows of flying toes, who
see lit to discharge them from some
ambush in a printing house.
The word objected to were, " His
monopoly of which 1 have no right to
infringe,' referring to what Brown
had calied " otic of Ingall's character
istic speeches," and the words "he
will not state,'' referring to one of the
legal points arising in the discussion.
This mode of warfare, Mr. Ingalls'
continued, was eminently safe to the

as he yet is, politic-ally, with the pro

Ingalls I supposed he would.
The Chair The senator from Kan

he would be heard to-morrow. He
