mothes Of achnler oolfa1, during Tug aqmnor
Richardson II she remembered Of having heard
Mrs. Matthews make any stAtement relative to.
Mr. Colfax receiving gift from any source.
She replied that abe Was possessed OF infor1na-
make public II It would aid In demonstrating tho
truth. :. "a =.
she thereupon stated that, about February,
1859, Mrs. Matthews exhibited to her \ lo.ter
Neabitt Of New York, who, Mrs. :Riohnrdson
understood, Taa retired merchant. Mr. Neg
bits letter sttted, in substance, that be re-
joiced In the political SUCCESS. Of A1r. Oolfax,
whom ho knew to be nblo aud honest, and sup
posed to DO poor. He expressed admiration for
the CAREER Of 1fr. Colfax, and told him thst hs
Hou1d not be nb1e to live upon his salary In
M.shington II 4 manper ~ becoming the rank lts OF
dant naeans, would send to Mr. 0ofa1 $l 900
each quarter during his ,Vica-P Prentdentia1 term,
without expecting return other than the ehtis-
faction Of assisting public man whose integrity
Mrs. Rlchasdson il positive that Mr. Neshitt
stated that he would send S1, 600 every quarter.
| Nra. Matthews was very proud. Of 80 great an
appreciation Of tho character 1t her son, and tho

nothing moro than recognition OF Nesbitt'6
| surprising generosity. Mrs. Richardson IL not
positive aa to what form the O., 900 we're sent tn

Soon after tho Inauguration, Mra. Matthewa in-
formed Mrs. Richardson that Neabitt waa dead
| and Mrs, Richardson expressed her regret that
h1r, Colfax would thus be deprived Of assistance
Of which he was in. need, but, soon after this, a
letter Was received, which hrs. Richardson read,
from the soma OF Nesbitt. This letter stated that
they had found memorandum among tho papora
! OF their father, in substance that Of the ilrst
| letter, and that although they we're under no
legal obligation, their father having given nc
instruotions in blu will, they would keep hia
pledge. HRS. Richardson says that her me1uory
| iB clear as to this letter from NeBbitt's SONS.
Your correspondent asked whether. HRS. Mat
| thews WAS accustomed to return to Mr. Colfa1
the letters she received from him; aud Mrs
Richardson replied that, lacking positive knowl
| edge, Bhe had no reaHon to suppose that Mrb
Matthews ever returned any Of the letters. II
answer to. your correspondents question as tc
| why MrH. Richardson had not made these state
montB public before, she replied that abe had no
done 80 for two reasonH: sho does not read tht
newspapers, and did not understand the nature
Of the controversy; and secondly, she did no
know whether tho information coming from he
would receive tho attention which it would 70
ceiyo coming from another.
