WASHINGTON. june 17.--Governor Brown
read reply TO the premeditated insults
offered him yesterday by Mr.. ingalls,, o.
Kansas, who characterized the revision by
the Georgia Senator Of his speech as a
forgery and the work ola Thug. The senior
Georgia Senator was very cool aud DELHI
crate, and alluded TO the fact that il Il
matter Of daily occurrence for senator's Ia
revise their remarks after they are written
out by the official reporters. He asserted
that the interpretations, which were not In.
tended to be offensive, were uttered by him
In the Senate, and while the Senate reporter
did not hear them, senators near him did.
Senator Hampton subsequently, said that
he was near Governor Brown while he was
speaking, and he heard him use the Ian.
guage the Kansas Senator chiefly oh.
iectcd 10. Governor Brown said II
was in violation OF the dignity
and courtesy OF the Senate for II TO permit
such premeditated insult as that ofrere d
him by the Senator from Kansas. The
Chair objected 10 the language, and It was
Withdrawn. The Senator bad charged that
he had in ambush i'm q printing-oiIlce i'm
serted IN his speech what he was afraid 20
say in his presence. He had been in many
conflicts with brave men, where there was
real danger, and had never shown any lack
Of courage. There is nothing i'm the ap-
pearancc or antccedents OF the Kansas
Senator, he said. TO excite the fear or ap-
prehension Of any man. There is no
place so safe for buster and vitupe-
rativc rhetoric as the Senate chaus
her, he added. and the Senator will
not repeat his offensive epithcts except
under lis protection. The Georgia Sena-
tor here told an anecdote OF lamb who,
while on house roof, abused most often
siyely wolf who was on the ground and
could not reach him. Said the wolf, " 1t
Is not the lamb but the roof that insults
me-" There were those at the Capitol to-
day who believed that the insulting Ian
guage OF Mr.. Ingalls, was not only pre-
meditated, but that it was planned after
conference with Republican senators in the
conference held yesterday. Mr. ingalls,,
IN reply to Governor Brown, said il Alaska
was admitted as q State and he should have
inserted III the Record that one Of her sem
ators was 4 Snivelling hypocrte, Joseph
Surface, the Uriah lIeep OF the senate, &C.,
he would violate the privileges OF the Sem
ate. Said sOutherner who was listening /:
same Alaska senator that he procured his
election TO the Senate by the grOsSest fraud,
corruption, and bribery, and ought to have
gotten a cell in the penitentiary for his
crimes instead OF seat in the Senate, and
that when tried before a Senate committee
on these grave charges this same Alaska
senator only escaped expulsion through
the kind heart and sympathy OF a Georgia
member OF the committee, now dead, Gov
ernOr Brown, too, would have violated the
privileges Of the Senate. Mr.. IngallS's
motion in regard TO the corrections made
bv Governor Brown in his speech was on
motion Of Mr.. sherman laid on the table
unanimously.
TIE OBJECT OF "BLACK JACKS VISIT TO
TUE PLUNED Knight.
The visit OF General Logan to Mr.. Blaine
was st the suggestion Of the latter. 1t is
thought that Mr.. Blaine did not want to
write his letter OF acceptance before con-
fcrTing with his associate on the ticket.
The report also is that they will discuss
and determine on the general plan OF the
campaign. Republicans behind the scenes
say tina, Blaine'S letter will be an elaborate
one. while that OF General Logan will be
short. Those in charge OF the ways and
means for the campaign express fears OF
getting anything from the Oflice-hod-
ers because OF the civil service. They are
relying on the contributions Of million
aires.
THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
A private dispatch from prominent
gentleman now at Saratoga, received to-
night. says: Flower is apparently largely
ahead. With scarcely any exception dele
gates, as they arrive, announce themselves
as they were reported when elected"
These results are in accord with the re-
ports OF to-day'S New York papers. a
telegram from ex-senator Kelly and Will
liam III. Effinger, OF Oregon. received to-
night, states that after careful canvaSslng
of the subject they believe no Democrat
can carry California against Blaine, and
that no Democrat except Judge Field can
carry Oregon and certainly carry Nevada.
Governor Clcveiand'S friends continue TO
claim a decided majority OF the Saratoga
COnvcntiln, and Representative Hewitt
said again tonight that John Kelly will
support him in good faith il nominated.
Several southern Representatives remarked
tonight that il New York endorses him ne
will have a walk-Over at Chicago.
GENERAL FITZ JOHN PORTER.
The House to-day, 10y a vote of 15S ayes
70 81 noes. concurred in the Senate amend
ment TO the House bill restoring General
Porter TO the army. The amended bill
does not gives him any back pay, but sim
piy restores him TO the army with the rank
and paw he had at the time he was dis
missed from the service. The President
viii, hear from Republicans, sign the bill,
and General Porter will be retired as
colonel.
SPECIFICATIONS IN REGARD TO JUDGE GRESHAM
A Justice Of the Supreme Court says that
in his opinion Judge Drummond will i'll
ten DAYS resign the United States circuit
judgeship OF the circuit composed OF lndl-
ana, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and that
Postlnaster-General Gresham will be APP
pointed to succeed him. Judge Gresham,
when his attention was called to 1t, sald
that he had had very lucrative ofier 10 90
into the practice Of the law at Chlcago.
The opinion, however, prevails that Judge
Gresham will be sppoi tied the successor
OF Secretary Folger, and there is httle
doubt that this was the understanding OF
Judge Gresham and the President months
apo-dependent upon the result OF the
Chicago Convention.

States, and said tiey had had no hearing
