HAYES AND Tfffe BOUTS*
What thc Bonth Shmli Do 1? tho Cr?ela.
ATLA?TTA, ?A., March 26.
Editor? Cnrvr?cle and CbnttUutionaR? :
DKAB Bins-I have to acknowledge
the receipt of your ?ommunto afioo, sug
gesting that it ia baportenL in riet? of
the polier which it ia said President
Hayes will pursue towards the South, to
know what tho attitude of the Southern
Democracy should be towards Presiden;
Hayes-whether Southern men should
apply to bira or take office under him,
eta. And rou Invito my views on thia
subject for publication. While I do not
flatter myself that roy views wilt be of
much ictereat to the publie, I give them
to you, as requested, for what they are
worth.
I consider-ha sonatina in of Governor
Hayes to the Presidential office as the
greatest fraud aver perpetrated upon the
IfMnr?itfln lUiAnYai ' Mam nat aaia liaainn !*.?
immense mon of
ali partie* admit? and a majority of the
electoral votes wereglveu to him in do
fiance of the popular will in et least two
States, which unquestionably gave ?olear
and decided majorities to bia.opponent ;
thereby electing Governor Tilden, not
only by an immease popular majority,
but by a majority of the electors. Being
fully satisfied of the corre?; 'eas of this
statement, I could, as & Democrat, under
no circumstances, accept at President
Hayes'hands any office within his gift.
Entertaining thia view, I cannot, with
fropriety, recommend any friend to
resident Hayes foe any position what
ever, cud I abai! uniformly decline todo
80.
President Hayes, in his inaugural ad
dress, by the uso of phrases that wera
general and indefinite, indicated a mora
liberal policy towards the South tuan hts
party bad heretofore pursued, and hts
friends and certain publie journals sup
porting his views bava announced that it
is bis policy to .distribute the patroaago
of the go ver?blest in the South in such a
manner as to divide the Democratic par
ty and build up the Republican party,
and piece it to the majority^ in at least
part of tho Southern States. It 'seems to
mo this is Only ah instance of the Greeks
bringing gifts in their hands, and that
we have reason to fear them.
It is true Mr. Hayes began his adminis
tration by nppointiugi as one of his cab
inet officers; av Southern Democrat from
a sister Stato; and other appoint
ment of Democrats to office may
be made for other offices. But I
I thjuk. I hazard littlo in saying that
jL/emo<rrnH? who accrpc'tncse appoint
ments wiH be expected to conform to the
general policy .of tho President, ac? to sa
commet themselves while in office as to
strengthen' the. .Republican porty. If I
am right about, this, the result wiJJ, bo
that all true Dem?crata who aro placed

IQ DHpBp uuu nuu _Jt.iw.jiii lucii i/cuiu
eratic integritv. with independence, will,
before the ena Of the adroiri?3tratJon, be
removed to make room for others who
aro more pliant, and all Dem?crata 'who
accent offices under the. administration
and lend themselves while in office to tbo
work sf build ig up the Republican par
ty and dividing the i'#rnocraev will be
classed in futuro, as they should bp, with
the Republican party, and they .vail be
without D?mocratie following* and will
bo longer be able to influence tba action
of Democratic voters. * The effort to di
vide the-solid. Democratic/ South by tho
distribution bf offices among them will,
therefore,-prove a signal -fallu.? ; and
Democrats who have jen?, themselves tc
the enterprise by accepting tb?.___.>:_
may consider themselves fortunato if
?he^-.eacapp-?toharra?d -politically* 1
have no ceoBurefor any honest D?mocrat
who chooses to make the experiment by
accepting office und?-? the administration.
I think the experiment, however, in each
catie will prove ha_ardoua and fruitless ol
good results. Others taking a different
view certainly have a right, to act upon
their own conclusion-). -
At the end of the war the United
States government, then in the hands of
the Republ!ru;n party, was triumphant aa
conqueorr. The conquering North had a
million of bayonets ip their hands ; and
wo were compelled to eufr^uder. the ks.
ono we possessed. Wo we.e, therefore,
at their mercy ; and when they dictated
tho terms of reconhtruetioo ana r?admis
sion of the Southern States into the
union, they did it, whatever ..reason may
have "been given to the contrary, by vir
tue alone or their power aa tho conqueror.
Be!dg fuHy -aatisfieti *bat there was no
mcdo of escape .left to the South by.
which wo could avoid n compliance with
the tonus dictotcuby the conqueror,!
advised our people to accept the situa
tion, return to cur allegiance to the gov
ernment, live orderly and peaceably, to,
conciliate tho colored race and make thc*-.
oar friend?, as tho government had placed
the ballot in < t?i?ir hands; arid do all in
our power to elect to tho conventions that
were to frame constitutions for the South
ern States, the. very, best v_tl_cna pf each
8tate^Mo*?^fce could bo obtiineti,
and - who wara eligible under the recon
Btrucuoo acts, tj My advice further was
uiai tba convention io each Stat, conform
literally to the requirements dictated by
the conqueror? so fae as tho ratification
of tho constitutional amendments, ?Ste.,
was concerned ; and. that we then in each
ciato maka the bestconstitution that the
beat talent bf tho State could devise, so
that we might bo able, on our return to
tho onion, to manago our own local af
fairs in our ow?.way.
.I saw very, clearly that we would bo
compelled to live.ni least for a consider*
'hie p.dod of time under tho cocsUtu
Uerft ?ade by tho conventions or?crWby

Fortns-t?lyf in our own State, a large

elis and elected *__ne of our wisest and
yt nstlvca to ibo convention, who wera
.ol?, to s?cu're for us h constitution unde.'
Which tho virtue find intellittenco of the
?js?? nave been enabled to take control
ci its government and tho management
of our affairs. The resuU ?as been that
J-eorgia has outstripped beT sister 8t-tes
?a niaterial devc-topment and p-^?porlty ;
??d our credit now stands ?Hr in advance
ol any of our Southern eiste?.
It mu at be remembered that io tho con
9Qeri,ig government pledged, .to tho
8oulherrr>t*^ their
?A-tors, ati Rcpre-antatiras in Congress
H soon aa tko terms of reconstruction
were complied with When complied
wJtU by each ?tato it ?aa thc duty of tba
government to carry out in good faith ita
??edges and readmit euch ?tate and leave
her people to reg?late their own local
self-governments, without Federal inter
ference.
Thia pledge has not been carried out,
bot ?n some of the States, whoso consti
tutions, owing to the failure of the whito
people to take part in the election, were
formed by carpet-bagger* and negroes,
the white people, in connection with such
Intelligent colored voters as now act with
them, would before this time have ob
tained control of their local self-govern*
meats but for the military interference
of tho United States government. They
elected their own Governors and Leghla
tures ; and returning boards, by infamous
fracas, counted them ont and declared
uected those who had no just claim to
the positions which they assumed : and
tho military arm of the United States,
under the late administration, came to
the relief of the murners ard sustained
them lu defiance of p'opular will as ex
pressed at the ballot box. Even in oar
own State, after we had fully complied
with the terms dictated by the conqueror,
tho military power took control of onr
Legislatura and remoddiad it at their
pleasure.
It is a sate role to lay down In a popu
lar government, that tbs party who favors
and sustains a great war, if tho war Is a
success, will be upheld by the popular
voice, and will control the government
for a very considerable period of time
after the termination of the war. It u
equally certain that the party oppo
sing a successful war will go oct of powei
for a series: of years. Our own war ol
1812 with Great Britain is an apt illus
tration. Knowing this to be a rule ol
popular action, I participated in noni
of tho hopes entertained by our Southern
leaders, thst the Democracy who bac
opposed our civil war would be able, bj
tho popular voie of the people of tin
United States, to obtain control of th?
government and reverse the terms of re
construction dictated by it in the hand
of the Republican party. I was there
fore of the opinion that it was best fo
the South to offer no opposition to tin
election of a Republican President, whiti
the reconstruction acts had not been ex
touted. This would no doubt have facil
?tated the admission of our Southern Sen
atom and Representatives, and would a
a much earlier period have given us con
trol of our own local affairs. Abd upo<
this conviction I acted. Bat when w
had complied fully with the tecoastruc
(Jon acts, and thc government of th
United States then refused to carry ou
its pledges for our rc-?dn??aion and Goe
the military arm lo interfere in our loci
affairs, I felt thai there was somethin
for the Democracy of both sections t
stand upon, with good hope of success
and from; that time until the present
have voted for the Democratic candidate
and advised our people to do BO. in th
hope that the American people' mig!
then be ready to ??vive from power thot
who had not only dictated unreasonabl
terms to ua, but had failed to keep fail
in carrying them ont. Unfortunately tl
popular mind was not ready for this i
1872. But iu 1876, so gross had been tl
outrages of the Federal administratif
in ihe use of. the military, to pnt don
legal State governments in the South, ?
party purposes, that the people rose :
their might at the ballot box and co:
demoed thia bad faith and usurpa'.'o.i,
already said, by an overwbelmh
majority, by the election of tho Dem
eratic candidates for President and Vi
President.
I My judgment was then that the D
moeracy of the North, knowing that tb
had elected their candidates, should ba
stood firmly by them, announcing th?
determination to inaugurate them; ai
the solid South should nave moved np
their 'support. And the result wou
not have been doubtful ; as the moi
conviction rested upun the minds of *
capitalists of the Republican party Noi
that we had been successful, and tb
would not have hazarded their fortunes
a civil war to sustain au undoubted frat

ton were outgeneraled by the sapor]
management of their antagonists, a:
Governor Bayes waa counted in ned t
been inaugurated. He is now tho
facto President of the United States, a
we should be orderly and obedient to t
laws during bia term, and hope that
will give us a faur administration,
counsel no factious opposition io his ?
ministration, and thit'k we should i
hesitate to give him credit for all gt
acta performed by the administration.
If hn would como to the just conclus'
that the ^publica? party baa had
mission, and that the sixteen years
power which it has enjoyed is as mud
it is entitled to on account of conduct;
a successful war, and if he would ad
the policy cf Washington and disroga
lng party, would call about him the i
men of both parties and distribute
offices among them, permitting each
art politically with perfect freedom, wi
holding position, his action would en tit
him to respect, and confidence tb
mighr, bo less question about tho ex
tt'oncy of Uemocrata accepting office
der htm.
I most confess, however, that I id
from tho beginning, seen no oufflcl
evidence that this ts the purpose of
Preshient. Instead of his taking a bn
patriotic view of tho situation, and
solving firmly to restore peace and p;
potlty to the country, at the sacrifice
party, the policy adopted by him sa
to me to point only to an effort on
part, by the bestowal of patronage
strengthen his own party. Tho t
fruit borne of hU. policy of Southern <
ciliation, so far as I- havo noticed uj
this period, Ja the appointment of a
?le Southern Democrat to a cabinet

ence to ?he removal bf troops from 1
isiaaa. aod South Carolina, and his r<
enco or the question to a comtois
wholly unauthorised by any law, Fed
ol Stat#, a majority, of which I havi
doubt will bo ccwposedef h> own pi
havo bot confirmed my dietrost.
We may, however, ba asked by Nc
ern men, bow is conciliation to taker,
if the South is still to stand firm

?AKLy PABK, __IK.EWS_-D, 8.0.
Editor? Chronicle and CbnsiiiutionalUt :
OsKTtKMEK-I hrvva tho honor, to ac?
knowledge the rece.pt of your letter, ask
ing aay views as to tho policy of members
of the South Carolina Democracy .apply
ingfor or accepting offico under ono R.;
B.Hayea, President defacto of the United
States.
I nm opposed to any Southern or North- j
ern Democrat accepting office from Hayes,
on tho following grpunds : _ii?V -
First, Hayes was never elected Presi
dent of the United States, bis competitor,
Gov. Tilden, having received or been en
titled to receive a majority of the electo
ral vote? cast, and having defeated him
by a popular majority of moro than a
quarter of ? million os votes.
Second. He occupies his office as Chief
Magistrate of the United States as the
result of ono of the moot bare-faced and
unblushing frauds that bas ever been
perpetfated upon, a dvilis>cd people
This fraud was adroitly conceived by the
leaders I and boldly . carried 'ant by the
members of tho Republican party.; of
which party Hayes, is now tho chosen
Sjrc^cnLitiva. History afibrdii no par
el either to tho corrupt, bold and auc
?/Huifii? practices Of th . l*en'-h*l?Cj?in Tinrtv
! ofi the ona bandt and tho stupid, Cimid
j and cowardly, action of thc Democratic
Earty on the other. T e leaders of the
>emocratio party did no. have tho pluck
to demand their constitutional rights, nor
did they have the tact, diplomacy and
political Bajgacity to secure the fruit, of
our great victory. These are humiliati ng
and degrading facts, that must be written
upon the same page of history that chron
icles tho disgraceful frauds and usurpa
tions of tho llcpubllcah party. I would
hr.ve as few Democr?t?c'n?mes as possible
. ?ton this roll of infamy.
Third. I cannot understand how any ]
honest or patriotic citizen* or- one .who '
has a spars: of love' for constitution >>
liberty, no matter whether he be a mr ir
ber of the Democratic' or Repuhlic_.i
party, can apply for or accept office from
the bands of a corrupt , and miserable
usurper of the rights and liberties of the
Eeople-one who, by his open Usurpation,
as put iu peril tho graud experiment of
self-government.
Fourth. I am a Democrat from convic
tion. I believe that the traditional plat
form of thia party embodies .tho true
theory and principies of thia" Govern
ment. Ono of its most prominent planks
is local self-government,, home rule by
home folks. To accept office from.the
representative leader of the Republican
party must necessarily beat the sacrifice
of political self-respect, political consist
ency and political policy and- principle.
It would be Uko enlisting for pay under
the of si. enemy who bsd just defeat
ed yon in battle. It ia a Well recognized
principle of the e.iu?u?? law that he who
accents stolen roods, knowing them tobe
atol?n, is no better tuMi the''dirty thief
who purlo.?ed them. Noir, 'wb.?rs is the
difference In the offense, whether tba
thief has taken your purse or stolon ypur
liberties.

WASH???OTOW, D.O., MarohSl, 1877.
JIU Excellency, the PrcHdeni .
Sip--I have bess invited by Mr.
Evarts to lay before you my views of the
resolta to bo expected to follow the with?
drawal of the United States forces now
stationed in the State Hons? at Colum
bi?, together with such statement of ?ny
mwo. therefor as i may deem it proper
to suite. A brief preliminary statement
of the circumstances under which these
forcea were stationed at tho State HOOAA
will be of service in responding to this
request.
"WI!Y TilE TROOPS WERE CALLED.
" In October, 1876, I made an official
call lipou the President for the aid of the
united ?tates in suppressing domestic
violence and insurrection. In response
the President ordered a conaiderable
number of troops to various,pointa with
in tho State, distributing them in such
manner as seemed likely not caly to sup
press tho actual existing violence or id
Hu?:cction, but to prevent similar out
breaks In other localities. Tho causes
and objects of tho violence now referred
to were purely political. An effort had
been at that time made by the Demo
cratic, party to secure political. control
of the ptate by the uso. of physical force
rind violence. 'A largo' number of armed
military companies bad been "organized
and made effective for this work in viola?
tion of ?jo lawn of the Stale. To over
come tho actual, open violation i:uun.-,.i
rated by th?se"'organizations'and bold
them id check pending the election, and
thus to receive a fair expression of the
will of the people at the election in No
vember, was tho sole object of my call
upon tho President and bis action in re
eponce. Under these circumstances the
election took place. Unfortunately the
election did not cloao the political strug
gle but rather intensified ft.
THE OTATE HOUSE QARWJJON.
About the,20th of November last, on
the' eve of tho assembling of the State
Legislature, I deemed it my duty to call
?poa the President to assist mo in pro
tecting the State Capitol against the vio
lence of the organ? *ations already re?
fcrred to, in order tc ;-ermit tho Legisla
ture to assemble and organize lUcll
peacefully. In response to this call tin
President gave ordere , which resulted ic
stationing a. small military for?a in tin
State House. This force was oLortlj
after reduced to 'ono company, number
ing from twelve to twenty ' men. Thc
single object in placing this force in tht
State House, as well as the. sole nw
which they served, was to eecuro th?
State government and Legislature again*
attack and overthrow by the uni awi ul or
gmJsaticns already described.
C*-... : THE DUAL LEGISLATURA.
.Tho offort to organize the House o
Representatives resulted in tho organisa
tion bf two houses, one of which remain?
in tho State House, and, in conjunct io;
with tho Senate, formed the L?gislature
while the other occupied &- hall at som
distance from the State House. Th
complete ; Legislature thus organized a
the State House'in due course of prece
d?ro canvassed tho vote for Governor ab'
Lieutenant Governor, declaring me t
baye been elected agreeable to tho prc
visioni of the State constitution. Fret
*h*t time until the present the pref
?nee Of the United States' troops at th
State House has resulted in protectin
the Legislature while it remained in sa
sion and. the various officers associate
with me in the enjoyment of their officit
rights and tho discharge of their officit
duties: Tn the meantime my preset
competitor for the office of Governor ba
proceeded, under, a declaration of hi
election made by thc House of Represor
tatives in political affiliation witta bin
self/ to assume the office of Goverr.or an
to exorcise its functions. Owing to eau?
not requiring present statement no se ttl?
nient of the. conflicting claims to tl
office of Governor was 'made "during tl
term bf your immediate predecessor, au
thus after your accession to tho Prosidei
cy the. conflict remained .unsettled, ac
the United States forcea at the Sta
House were then sad &r-:- now dischar)
ina? *.bn fltGCtlCS Of dut" W?lIcU 1" ?.S"
already stated.
i PRESENT U6E! OF THE TROOPS.
From whas has now boca stat ed'it' ft
lows that, in my judgment tho Unit<
States forces at. the State House aro the
in pursuance and execution of a cons)
tutibnaldutyor'practice of tho gov?r
ment of the United States I? its ociiusn r

of tbo State govjernmc?t, of which I a

force referred to.
In thc meantime the dispute respet
lng the' ?-Qlcd of Governor continues, ai
no av^>?ble power or rubde of settling
has. .been.found. Und?*. th*?e circu*
stances my opponents desire and demaj
ino withdrawal of tho United States for
from the State House, and X am in vit
to state ray objections to such action i
the part or Your Excellency.

A sn?otro OBJECTION.
My next objection to the withdrawal
of the United State? force* from the State
House ls that such withdrawal at the
present time, pending the dec of tho
question of the validity of one or the
-?'.'her of two government*, will be a prac
tical decision iu favor ot my opponent.
By this I mean that my opponent ls at
thia moment fully prepared, lu point of
physical strength, to overthrow the gov
ernment which I represent. Wby ia
inls7 The cause is honorable to'tho
political party which I represent They
are Law abiding; they are patient under
the infliction of wron;? ; they are slow tc
resort to violenco even in defence of their
rights; they have trusted that a decent
regard for law, a decent respect for rights
conferred by the government of thc
United States, would restrain their oppo
nents from the violence which hos now
overtaken them. They know now thal
they can expect from their political ene
mies neither justice ncr mercy. They
have relied with unshaken faith upon
the protection of the United States. If,
therefore, tho Unit ed States forces nov?
stationed at tho State Houao shall bc
withdrawn they will regard that act,
under the circumstances now exLting, tu
leaving them exported to tho power and
venger nco of the armed, illegal!, military
organixations which cover tho State ano
constitute tho political machinery of th?
Democratic party. They will regard that
act--I spoult now only of the fact-as i
declaration by the United States that nc
further protection can be boped . for ex
cept such as they, hold in their owe
hands. They, cannot alone maintain thc
unequal contest I certainly cannot ad
vise f-rt-~.ee r?sistance. That whicl
would he an imperative duty under othej
circumstance* would . become madnea
now. If it be said, In reply, that auch UM
of the United States forces is merely giv
ing a political advantage to one of tho tw<
contending parties in tue assertion of ito
claim, I answer that in my view it is rathei
tbo preservation to each party of theil
right* to a chance In the struggle if i
must go bu, or if tho government whicl
I represent is the lawful government, i
i* , the protection, of tbe govcrnmen
against domestic violence in necordaue?
with the constitution. My opponent do
mauds the withdrawal of tho Unitec
States forces from the State House. I
will be of service in judging r;hat result
will follow in compliance v. it h this do
maud to ask Why the demand is made
I suppose neither courtesy' cor Charit;
will'warrant the suggestion that it arise
from a zealous regard for constitutions
limitations on tho par?, pf my pnponcnj
Oh the other hand, tho demand ia plain
ly made for the purposes ef political ad
vantage in tbo present struggle. Who
is this advantage 7 It bas been suggeate
it is to enable my opponent to pursu
bia legal remedies in the premises. It i
tt sufficient answer to this to Bay, that n
hindrance of any kind now exists to th
' peaceful and complete enforcement of a
i tegul, remediea whatever. Every legi
right and remedy which belongs to ni
opponent under any circumstances
within his unobstructed reach to-day, an
has boen on all days. This fact points j
once to tliO conclusion that in demandta
the withdrawal of the troops from tl
State HOUBO my opponent does notdesii
thereby to secure nut own right by lawfi
means or peaceful agencies, but to rc
me and my associates and constituents <
our rights by unlawful nienns and violoi
agencies.
CHARGES OP VIOLENCE.
If reference be mado to tho professic
of those who demand tho withdrawal <
the troops that they seek only to seem
their righto by lawful means, I rcspec
filly answer that T am familiar with sut
profession?. They have been made vii
endless iteration during a campaign <
unprecedented length, marked uro ir tl
opening to tho close by every degrco ut
form of physical violence. To ono n
familiar wita tho condition of South Ca
alina th? statements I have now mat
may seem extravagant . I refer for co
Urination of all I have stated to the tesl
mony taken by the Congressional coi
mitte ea daring the past winter, and
affirm that my pr?sont acquaintance wi
the facts compels me to say that thia U
timony falls short of the truth. Tho B
publicans of South Carolina have carri
cn a struggle up to the present momo
for the - preservation of their rigb
Their hope has been that they might co
i tinue to live under a freo goveromei
The withdrawal of tho troops from t
State House will close the struggle, w
close it in defeat to a large- majoruy
the people of the State, in the sacrifico
their rights, tn the .complete success
violence and fraud aa agents in reacbi
political results.
' SUiTMABY OP BE8TJI/.C
To re-state the resulta whl. ' i will f
low tho withdrawal of the troops frc
the State House I ?*y:
Firtt-It wil| remove the protecti

? BIT OF SECRET HISTORY.
JOHN YOUNO BROWN IN EXFLAN ATION
OY TUE FOSTER-MATTHEWS LETTERS.
Thc Louisville Oourier-Jvamal nub- I
llahos an interview with tho Hon.' $O\.?
Young Brown, in which that gentleman
Fires a Viii history of the Mattoews-Fds
ter letter. Mr. Brown says in his state*
ment:
Herewith I publish the letters of Hon.
Charles Foster and Stanley Matthews,
addressed to Hon. John B. Gorden ?nd
myself. Tho circumstances attending 1
their origin ure in brief as follows: Qu
the 20th of February last I sent a pago
from the House of Represontr ?ives to the
Senate Chamber for ray distinguished
friend, General Gordon, and he came .
over in a fow minutes. I told him that
I wanted an interview with Hon. Charles '
Foster, at which I desired his presence. '
I outlined to General Gordon what ? in
tended to say to Mr. Foster, and he said
he would with pleasure accompany me. ?
We found Mr. Foster in the room of the
Committee on Appropriation!:. No ono
else waa present during tho interview. I
told Mr. Foster that I had, as he knew, ,
been voting against ail dilatory motions, :
and had in a speech advocated the in- .
floxihle execution of the Electoral Bill : j
had stated in a D?mocratie caucus that I ;
Would so vote if I were'?he only man i
from the South to d<> sb ; that the Vote
was approved by my judgment; that I !
felt under an obligation of honor to stand j
by the result, bitter as it was, feeling that ,
th? situation was not chargeable'to the ,
Electoral Bill, but to tho majority of iLz
Commission which wo had agreed to
trust. T told him I had received de- ,
snatches and letters from home, from (
cherished and trusted friends, conveying
most emphatic remonstrance against my <
course; but that, with my convictions ,
about tho question, if a petition signed .
by every voter in my district should be .
sent to me, requesting me to support tho
dilatory motions, it would not alter roy ,
purpose by a hair. I further said to him i
thai there was but one thing which
would change me, and that was if I
thought that by voting to complete the
count, which was to result in the inaugu
ration of Mr. Hayes, I would be aiding, ,
directly or indirectly, in perpetuating tho
usuipations of Packard and Chamberlain
in the States of Louisiana and South Car
olina, I would reverse ray action, and do <
my very utmost to defeat the execution ,
of the bill, regardless of consequences,
calamitous to the country as I believed
they would be.
I furthermore told him that if ? j
changed my position 11 knew of several
prominent gentlemen who would join me,
mid if at that critical hour, when tho ]
daily and nightly scenes surpassed by \
far in wild excitement and violenco any- j
thing ever witnessed In tho legislative )
history of the country, the line of tho (
Democrat^ who were voting to execute (
tho law, Bnouid be broken, it would re-11
ault in n stampede among them, and Mr; 1 ?
Hayes would no moro bo the President j
than ho (Foster) would bb. Foster Bald j
he believed thia. I
I have the highest respect for Charles ,
Foster. I believe him to be an honora- \
ble gentleman, and I told him that it was .
my confidence in bim that had brought
me to him. He represented the district j
of Governor Hayes. Ho bad just made j
a manly and patriotic speech, in which 1
ho had said that nuder President Hayes,' ,
if inaugurated, the1 flag shall float over (
States, not provinces ; over freemen, not
subjects. I referred to this speech, and
tola him I had come to request of him \
written assurances that if Governor ?
Hayes was inaugurated President he j
would restore home rule in the States of ,
Louisiana and South Carolina, and that ,
the people of theso States should control ,
their own affairs in their own way, aa free ,
from any intervention by tho Federal au- \
thority as the State of Ohio. ,
This conversation was long and earnest, j
I told Mr. Fester that I wanted to make |
no bargain, no agreement, that. I scorned \
tho thought of it, that I had declined a (
a re-election to Congress, waa voluntarily ,
withdrawing from political lifo, wanted ,
no office that a President could give mo. ?
and that my object was unselfish, and ,
that I desired a written assurance from \
him that the policy of Mr. Hayes would \
bo as indicated, and from him specially, j
by reason of his very intimate relations ,
with Governor Hayes.
His reply to all this was frank, full,
earnest ana satisfactory to my friend,- ,
General Gordon, and myself. Indeed, |
Mr. Foster said he-had >a letter in hie 1
pocket, Just received from Governor j 1
Hayes, thai .king him for tho speech to 'j
which ? have alluded, and endorsing it. ,
Ho offered this letter to General Gor- 1
don and myself to read, but we declined 1
it. He agreed to give mo tho desired 1
letter, and said ho would also request ?
Hon. Stanley Matthews to sign it. He i
promised to meet mo that night at my :
rooms.. Ho came about midnight and '
said by reason of his interview with Gen- J
eral Gordon and myself he had that i
evening procured a meeting of some gen
, tlcracn from Louisiana and South Caro- :
1 Una nt Wofrolcy'* Hote?j at which also :
Hon. Henry Watterjou was present. At 1
the conclusion of the conference ilse** :
gentlemen had expressed great satisfac
tion afc what had boon said to them. On
leaving ho remarked that I should have ;
two lottere next morning. On the noxt I
day became to my desk in the Hou*e of 1
. Representatives and har.iw mo an un- >
signed letter.
I read it, took my pen and erased one j
paragraph, and told bim that it could bo !
mado fuller and stronger, but that from 1
tho honorable mea who gave it ia good i
faith it was. sufficient. In an hour after? I
ward I went te? bia desk and ho delivered 1
me a letter sig'" hy himself and Mr. i
Matthews* I - . /eel that it waa in a 1
different band?. *ting, read it hastily and !
remarked to him that it contained some ?
generalities I did not like! He replied 1
that air. Matthews had re-written it; and 1
added. "Brown, it is intended to cover I
tuc whole case, and I can promise you 1
tuero will be uo donbt about the fulfill- <
ment of all the assurances I have given |
you." I
I noticed the original letter on his doak I
and said, "Sign that also," and he re
plied. "Certainly, with pleasure^ As I ;
was leaving he called me back and Md i
mo that President Grant would, as soon
os .tho count was completed. laser .
certain oi?cr to oeneral Augur in Lou
isiana. Ho requested me not to mention
this fact for several days, but expressly
Save mo permission to mako any ase of
20 letters I might desire. Thc order re
ferred to was issued by President Grant.
I gavo copies of tho letters to Messrs.
Levy, Ellis and Burke,' of Loidsiahn, and
te- General M. 0. Butler, cf South Caro
Hu? vi-. ex f?ority tc *m thc-m wbes
ever they pleased. When I saw ?mt the
jJcmocrati? victory, so fairly won? was
lost, ruy deepest concern was for my suf
fering Southern countrymen.. To contri
bute to their deliverance from bondage
was tho passionate aspiration of my heart.
Had I believed that tho policy , of Mr.
Hayes, if inaugurated, would pot relieve
them from thc hateful and unrcpublican
supervision by thc army and tho farther
plundering and oppression by men allen
to them in birth and sy mpathies, I should
never have voted M I dla. Hon..u?arles \
Fooler secured the inauguration of the
President ; but for his speech ?nd these
letters the result would never have been
reached. The conversation and contenta
of the letter were made lcnowa to many.
Tho confidence of Democrats in him
rtud in his authorisation to say what be
did composed the Sepresentatlves and
caused them to remain unshaken in doing
what they; believed waa ' right'amid the
storm which waa raging around them,
and ia tho faco of th? earnest remon
strances of their constituents, If a. few
bad faltered the J^-??C w?u?d S?T? uceo
general ;. tho wo'V of the commission
would have been fruitless, and before
this time, in my opinion, a hurricane of
war would have been sweeping over the
uiii u. j.i
Hope deferred has sickened the heart
of P juthcrn men. I do not understand,
ur/do I appreciate tho delay of Presi
dent Hayes. He should not hesitate ;
the whole country expected this great
and good work at his hands. Passionate
men are heaping Invectives upon the
heads of th oso Democrats who voted to
itand by the electoral bil). This pains
tue ; but causes no rrrrret for my action.
In conclusion I will say that I have
full faith in the fulfillment of the assu
rances contained in the letters of Messrs.
Foster and Matthews. Thoy aro honora
ble men. I cannot believe that they
would attempt deliberate deception.
Thoy are the intimate - friends of tho
President. Thoy know bis viewsand ex
pressed thom in these letters. An honest
construction of their language means that
the autonomy of Louisiana and South
Carolina should bo restored. It is im
possible that the President, under all tho
circumstances and in view of his own ut
terances and the promises of hi? friends,
can refuse at once to make Louisiana
ind South Carolina as free aa Ohio and.
tiaro the flag float over States, wot pro
vinces ; over free men not subjects.. If
lone tho peace aad prosperity of tho He
public will be secured. If not done, the
whole responsibilty for tho consequences,
whatever they may be, will rest upon
President Hayes.

THE LOUISIANA CASE.
President Hayes? JLettor of Instru? lions,
to the Commission.
Tho following ls the text of the P/esl
ieut's leUcr of instruction to the Louisi
ana Communion :
WASHINGTON, April 8, 1877.
7b the Hon. Charles B. Lawrence, .Joseph
J?. Hawley, John M. Harlan, John
C. Brown and Wayne MacVdgh,
Commissioners ?
GENTLEMEN-I am instructed by tho
President to lay before you some observa
dos upon tho occasion and objects which
iavo led him to invite you as members of
the Commission about to visit tho Stat'
)f Louisiana to undertake this public
l?rvice. Upon assuming his office,, tho
Prsaldeir. Abels the situation oi arrR?rn ?n
Louisiana such as to justly demand bia
prompt and solicitous attention, for this
Situation presents as one of its features
the apparent intervention of the military
power of the United States in tho domes
tic controversies which undoubtedly di
vide the opinions and disturb tho harmo
ny of the people of that State. Tbl?
intervention, arising during tho term and
by Urn authority of his predecessor,
?brows no present duty upon the Presi
dent except to examine and determine
the real extent and forth and effect tc
which such intervention actually exists
apd to decide as to the time, manner anc
conditions which should be observed ic
nutting on end to it.' It is in aid of bli
Intelligent and prompt discharge of thu
duty that the President has sought thc
-enrico of this Commission, to Btipply bj
means of ita examination conducted; ir
thc State of Louisiana' some informatl?r
that may be pertinent to circumanectioi
iud security of any measures I ho ?nay re
;ol ve upon. It will ha readily understood
that the service desired of and entr?stet
to this Commission does uot include nnj
examination into or report upon the fact
of the recent Stato olcctiou, or of th<
canvass of the votes cast at that, election
3o far as attention to that subject may bi
accessary the President cannot but fee
that the reports of tho committees of th
two houses of Congress, and othor publl
Information at hand, wilt dispense wit]
md should preciado any exploration b
the commission of that field of inquiry
But ia moat pertinont and important, I
coming to a a ec ia; on on the preei?o ques
?on of executive dutv before hlm.ths
the President should know what are tb
impediments to regular, legal and peace

tution of tho State of Louisiana; by whlc
the anomalous government there proser
ted may bo put in course of settlcrrJor
without involving tho element Of rrilitar
power ns an agent or a make-weight i

would confidently expect, would indical

toe President that the us? of this' author
ity ia determining or influencing disputed

ho avoided. Undoubtedly, as, was held

the lawfulness of the authority which in
voice tho interference of tba P??*?den?
ia supposed pursuance of the constitution,
but it is equally true that neither the con
stitutional prov inion nor the acts of Con
gress wcro framed with any such design.
Both obviously treated the casa erf dnm**
tie violence within a State as of an out
break against law and tho authority of
established , government which the State
waa. unable to suppress by its own
strength? A (jase wherein the depart
mont of tho State government hua a. Abu
im ted representation, and the State therc
bro furnishes to tho Federal governtaeut
no internal political : recognition of au
thority upon which the Federal Execu
tive can rely, will present a eise of so
much difficulty that it is of pressing im
portance to all intereste in Louisiana that
it should bo avoided. A single legislative
body would greatly relievo thia difficulty,
for that department of the State govern
ment is named by thc Constitution as tho
necessary applicant, -vhen ii can bo con
vened, for military intervention by the
United States. If therefore tho disput
ing interests can concur in, -??Mp rcducod
to, a single legislature for tho State bf
Louisiana, it would bo. a great step in
com posing this' unhappy ! strife. Tho
President leaves entirely to tho Commis
sion tho conciliatory influences which in
their judgment formed on the spot ittay
seem to them,to conduce to the proposed
end. His own determination that only
public considerations should Inspire and
attended this effort to'give the ascenden
cy in Louisiana te the things that belong
to peace, is evinced by his selection of
Commissioners who offer to tho country
in their owa character every guarantee of
the public motives"'and methods of the
transaction? which they have undertaken.
Your report of tho result of this endeavor
will satisfy tho . President. He does sot
doubt bf tho. wisdom of his selection of
and of his plenary trust in tho Commis-,
sion. - A second and less important sub
ject of attention during your visit to New
Orleans will bo the collection of accurate
and 'trustworthy information from tho
public officers attd prominent citizona of

of pablic feeling und opinion'in tho com

will hope to learn from your investigation
that this purpose will ho aided and not

not wish to. impose any limit upon your
