WASHINGTON, March d, 1877.
Hon. q. II. ChdmGsridm, CoIum Jid. s. e.:
MY DEAR SIR: have not he honor Of per.
sonal acquaintance with you, but have learned to
respect you from my knowledge Of your rcputa.
ton. take the liberty of addressing you now
with great distrust OF the propriety Of doing So
prelacIng 1t by saying that speak without au.
thorty from any one, representing only my own
views.
The situation OF public affairs 10 South Caro-.
lima IL too complicated to be discussed at length
In note, and yet impresses me as one that
ought to be changed by the policy OF Republican
statesmen 10 such way as not only to remove
all the controversies that disturb that State, but
to remove all smbarras1ments arising from II to
the party in other parts Of the country. It has
occurred to me to suggest whether by your
own conscience and cooperation an &C commoda.
tion could not be arrived at which would obviatc
the necessity for the use Of Federal arms to sup.
port either government, and leave that to stand
which was that able to stand o itself.
Such . course would relieve the ad ain ration
from the necessity, so far as Executive action is
concerned, Of making any decision between the
conflicting governments, and would place you In
| position Of making tho sacrifice Of what you
| deemed your abstract rights for the sake Of the
| peace or the community, which would entitlt
| you TO the gratitude not only OF your own party
but the respect and esteem OF the entire country
| trust you will pardon the liberty have taken
| as my motive is to promote not only the public
but your personal good
| with great respect, STANLEY MATTHEW'S.
! Appended to the foregoing letter are the 70
| lowing lines by Mr.. Eyarts:
! DEAR GoyERNoR: have read this letter, an,

, don on this subject, so Interesting to us all,

yIcE PREsIDMf u.HEELER.

To Occupy the Position Of Advisor and As
sistant to President Hayes-nis Conten,-
plated Southern Mission.
1t is stated that President Hayes entertsins
the belief that the Vice President OF the United
States is an officer of whom Important duties
should be exacted, and that, ignoring precedent,
he proposes to make Vice President Wheeler un
advisor and assistant. Heretofore the Yico
President has been regarded as q respectable
nonentity, who might, If he chose, sit In the
chair OF the presiding officer of the Senate, but
who was to have no voice In State anairs unless
the President died. Mr.. Hayes has already
counselled freely with MIR. Wheeler. and It is
stated that he about to be assigned to the very
important duty Of visiting the Southern States,
and using his Influence to bring their political
leaders into harmony with the Southern policy
| of the Administration, as foreshadOwed in the
Presidents inaugural.
II would be dIflcult to hnd man better nttei
| TO this task than Vice President Wheeler, or one
whose advice would be more likely to he followed
by the Southern people. While he is an earnest
and thorough Republican, Mr.. Wheeler pos.
sesses judicial mind, capable of distinguishing
| very clearly between right and wrong, and de.
cided prejudice In favor OF maintaining the right.
| II was to Mr.. Wheeler that belonged the credit
| Of fpscifying the people Of Louisiana two Year,
ago, by offering what is known as the Wheeler
| In that State was avefted and peace maintained
| up to the present time. Mr.. Wheeler, as a Rop.
| resentative Of Congress at that time, did good
| service to Louisiana and to the country, at the
same time winning for himself the confidence OF
| the people Of the Southern States. As trusted
| representative of the Administration now, he
could not fail Of being Of still greater service.
| Whether It be true or not that SO Important q
| mission is to be c0nhded to Mr. Wheeler, II Is a
| good sign to see President Hayes calling to hill
| councils 50 sagaelous q person as Mr. Wheeler
and making something more of his otice than
mere hgurehead. The people elected Mr.. Wheeler
to the Vice Presidency because they believed him
worthy and competent TO fill the second office o.
| trust In the Government and Is Is his right tC
| represent them to certain extent President
| Hayes recognizes this right, and shows hli
ter counselor, or one in whom the people have
| greater confidence.

What Registered Letters Are.

An exchange says: "The question is very often
asked: What sthe difference between registered
letter and any other? The difference is that
registered letter does not go in the mall proper.
1t passes from hand to hand outside OF the mail
pouches, every person through whose hands 1t
passes being required to sign a receipt for 1t on
receiving 1t, and secure receipt for 1t on passing
It over to the next transit. The person holding
the last receipt is thus always able to show who
is accountable for its loss. The responsibility
rests upon the man who has signed Il receipt Tor
the registered package, and who Is not able to
produce tho package or q receipt from somebody
else for Il. The safest way to send money Is by
money order. Where It does not 20 to Q money.
order foe II should always be sent In registered
package. Money ought not to be sent IN an ordl-
nary letter under any circumstances. There Is
