WAsHrsGros Nav s-Fernando Wood brought TO
the attention of the House to-day az question OF
privilege the fact that meeting Of the Committee
on Foreign Affairs had Deen held at tho State De
partIneut on Saturday, convened by the President
OF the United States BY notes Of invitation signed
by his private secretary, from which meeting he
and his Democratic colleagues upon the Com
mittee had been excluded. He appeared TO
think this discrimination all the more un-
warrantable from the fact that the Com
mittee was. by the nature OF its business,
non-partisan Committee, before which no
party question had ever come 70 his knowledge. Mr.
Banks declared that meeting OF the Committee
had been held on Saturday. few gentlemen had
been invited to meet the President for consultation
at the State Department, but it was not Com
mittee meeting. The Speaker decided that there
was no question of privilege involved IN the matter,
and as no further debate in order, the subject
dropped IL was much discussed in conversation,
however in both the House and Senate during the
day The Democratic Senators on the Foreign
Relations Committee had been az carefully
excluded from the meeting. their brethren in the
House and were equally indignant. The opinion
was freely EXPRESSED by many Republicans that the
President had committed serious blunder in treat
ing matter Of the gravest national concern az II 1t
were an affair of partisan politics merely. Members
of both Houses of long service on the Foreign Com

present thr plnaS'Gg duty i6 wait Upon him
in person to notify him of hiS ulialiiillous
nomination for The Presidency by that Con-
vrntioa. the clhrial notification of which he
now presented +" him. The published re-
nort ur the proceedings showed that there
WAS great unauiniiy. but only those who
took Ie,rt in them had any idea OF the enthl-
,it>ln >sit which it was determined TO sus-
tain The Liberal Republican movement and
to support the principles contained i'll the
Cincinnati platIULiii: anti they ftlt that the
Surrst mrln~ Of doing 81 was TO nominate

nn'lnrr OF the committee to Greeley, and

The nomination. he said, and with more plea
sure from the gratifying spirit with which
II was presented. His position was proud
one, and it WAS nercrilclessan embarrassing
one, but he trusted this embarrassment was
only temporary. II subjected him TO mis-
construction on the part Of valued and life
long friends. hut he was assured that time
only was necessary to yindicate his motives
and the di>intcrested and patriotic course he
bad determined to pursue before nc received
such hearty cooperation.
"Whic YOU" said Mr. Greeley, I" in max
ing this nomination arc not less Democratic,
but even more so than had you taken the
opposite course, ], in accepting, was az much
Republican as l ever was" [Applause.] He
was not much accustomed, ne said. to receive
nominations for the presidency. If he had
been, he probably could have responded
more titly. This was all he had to say, eX-
cept to invite the members OF the committee,
or as many of them as could make it c0nve-
nient, to visit him at his fUm, Chappaqua.
He could assure them of q warm welcome.
He should be there tomorrow, and they could
then consult and confer more freely than at
this time. #.r ars. s..
The committee then withdrew and Gree
