Boston. Oct. 16.-Gov. Butler has writ
ten : letter accepting the nomination for
Governor of the National Greenback-
Labor party Of Massachusetts,. The &C
ton, he says, affords him much pleasure,
IS . mark of appreciation Of his labors in
behalf of the g~reenback and laboring
men. The greenback, he says, has be-
come absolutely the currency of the
United States in several different forms in
which the Government issues its money.
Every silver and gold certificate, and
every postal note. ia essentially q green
back; that it is paper currency based on =
guarantee Of the nations good faith. 1t
is true that current gold and silver is, in
my judgment, uselessly piled up in the
vaults of the Treasury, but if that was
taken away still the note Of the United
States will be just as good upon that
question. The g~reenbackers have won
their fight after . long struggle, COM
mencing in obloquy and ending in victory.
He attempted. he says, in what he wrote
W bu6 OLuColo VI buo Va VIC
G~reenback party, to pay this compliment,
| and his then enemies took advantage Of
| the language in which it was couched to
twist it for their nefarious purposes,
| which he trusts he has now made plain.
| What he meant was, that the party still
has . higher and nobler mission before it
Of establishing the relations between labor
and capital, which shall be just and profit
| able to both. II restraining lawful mo-
nopolies, such as the transportation OF
freight and passengers, and with it the
purposes for which they received the sane
| ton Of law organizations, under the
forms of law which give any undue ad-
vantage, by which the rich man is made
richer and the poor man poorer, it ought
to be sternly dealt with. A few years ago
our currency and our public debt were
such c~ontrivances. Let MS abolish stocks,
bogus mortgages on railroads, and ficti-
tious valuations Of property. We are not
the enemies Of honest capital. We are its
true friends. because il capital suffers it
self to become the oppressor of an educat-
ed, intelligent and free people, such op-
shall say then that in such case it ought
not to be?
A Double Murder.
NEW York, Oct. 16.-John Irving and
John Walsh. widely known burglars, shot
and killed each other in Shang Diapers
saloon early this morning. They had q
bitter quarrel, and it is said that six weeks
ago they met in another saloon and drew
pistols on each other, but were separated.
The police story is that John Irving and
Jack the Mick were in Diapers saloon
shortly before 2 O'Clock this morning, both
filed with liquor. They quarreled about
some rascality in which they were mutually
interested. They became noisy. and Billy
Porter entered and tried to stop the row.
This Interference only reused the rioters
to fury, and both whipped out revolvers
and fred at close quarters. Everyone in
the saloon sought cover % . double report
rang out. The shots were fred at the
same instant and with like effect. Irving
fell dead with Jack the Mick's bullet in his
brain and Jack the Mick fell shot through
the heart. Neither lived long enough to
Porter and his gang ran out into the
street. but the reports Of the pistols were
heard by the police, and every person sus.
pected Of being In the saloon ct the time Of
the shooting was arrested.
Douglas and others Intervie we'd.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 16.-The National
Republican will contain tomorrow inter-
views with Fred. Douglas. Minister Lang
ton, Prof. Green. Rand and other promi-
neut colored men ON the decision Of the
Supreme Court upon the Civil Rights bill.
They agree In considering the decision .
matter for regret. Douglas thinks II 10 .
step Backward and places the United States
In the rear Of the civilized nations Of
Europe and America. Its moral effect will
be. he thinks, mischievous. Minister
Langton. who says he drafted the CIVIL
Rights bill ct the instance Of Chas. Sum.
ner, says the only thing the colored people
In the United States can do when deprived
Of their OWL rights IL to bring action an
der the common law In the State Courts.
The Civil Rights ACT. he says, did not CON-
fer any rights upon the colored people,
but merely provided for the enforcement
Of the Acts comforting those rights, and
consequently the decision Of the Court to-
day did not take away from the colored
people any rights conferred by the Four
Seenth Amendment.
