The committee appointed to present Mr. Tilden with the Chicago convention resolu tions , will atrequest , send the same by mail. The greenback and democratic national conventions for the Eighth Michigan district nominated Timothy E. Tarsney , of East Saginaw - naw , for congress. The Oregon state central committee of thoV greenbackers and anti-monopolists decided to print and distribute fifty thousand copies of Butler's address. The campaign In Indiana was formally opened by both parties on the 30th and a hun dred speeches delivered in towns and cities in all parts of the state.

About 150 delegates were present with credentials , and of this number about 50 were allowed to par ticipate as members of the convention , the remainder being refused because they refused to ' pledge themselves to support St. John for president. Presidential electors were nomin- ated. It was resolved "That we believe It to ' be to our best interests to waive our power of nominating a ticket for state officers , and e leave the matter for each member to act in dividually , and that we use our best endeav ors to secure the election of the national pro hibltion ticket. " BISHOP POTTER. Text of His letter im. Which He Declines to Come to Jfebraslta. The following letter has been received by the Rev. Mr. Patterson , of Omaha , secretary of the standing committee of the diocese , from the Rev. Dr. Potter : To the Standing Committee of the Diocese otm Nebraska Dear Brethren : Informed as to my letter , designed for the council , that it has not < been delivered , that body not being in ses sion ; your valued communication which I acknowledge , suggests that I should recall the b acdc declination and "reconsider , " because at lib br erty to accept the bishopric 6f your diocese , without deserting Hobart College. After con br sultation I find that the demand of that insti tution to whose untried presidency I am pledged at this juncture , renders such a course on my part inadmiesable. Your suggestion is reinforced by letters from Clergy and Laity and I am assured rep BP. resents the deliberate and unanimous desire the diocese. Permit me , therefore , to state my conviction t at if I yielded and accepted the exalted position tendered me , I should br alienate the support of my friends at the east , thus destroying my ability to render Nebraska needed aid. The church has a rare pportunity , but the diocese , which has tb ihown a commendable comparative reliance upon its own resources , also needs and de serves to bo aided by churchmen from with ba out. out.Invited Invited to visit and learn somewhat of the wonts of the west , I shall ever be grateful for the friendships formed and the kindness 3ui shown me , especially in your diocese. If I write at length , it is to expres my apprecia tion of the field and yourcalL na Your clergy and laity are influential and united. There are few considerable obstacles br and there is ample assurance of encouraging co-operation and success. Situated in Omaha , injJ the flourishing city of the bishop's residence , are the noble Cathedral and Child's hospital , R erected > largely by the citizens which have thi been generally devoted to the service of the iti diocese. an As Bishop Clarkson's memorial , Brownell CO Hall school then will doubtless secure the at suitable location and buildings he desired and all which its excellent growing work demands.

It would follow , therefore , that a acancy in the treasury may be temporarily Hted by an appointment for tcn days from loth Inst. , and must be permanently filled later than the 28th inst. , Sundays not being- ounted.
