UNITED STATES SENAToR-ELECT,
STANLEY MATTHEWS, had warm
welcome at Glendale, Hamilton cOun-
ty, on Saturday night, to which the
Cincinnati papers of Sunday, devote
much space. The reception was ten
dered him by his friends and neighbors
and was manifestation of the Just
pride which they feel in his advance
ment to the post Of representative, OF
the great State, Ohio, in the council
chambers Of the nation, for which be is
so eminently qualified. Aspecial train
went out from Cincinnati, and the
Glendale town hall, where the affail
was held, was crowded by hls friends
The address of welcome was delivered
by the Hon. Warren VI. Bateman, anC
xas replied to by Judge Matthews in ,
Ispeech OF considerable length, which
judging from the frequent outbur-ts o
Applause, must have been received
with much favor.
The following extract from the clos
ing portion of the Judges speech viii
be read as significant: al1
4 There is no reason, as has ALREADY
been said, why We should any longe
be divided in this country by sectiona
lines. All the causes which once createt
lsections have disappeared. The mer
of the North and the South can come
ltogether-I believe they will come to
gether. [Applause. The ranks viii
open. new lines of division will appear
and parties, instead of being arrayet
against each other face to face in battl,
ARRAY, upon the two sides Of the lin,
which separates the North from tn,
South, will divide by lines perpendicu
lar to them, running into every State
penetrating every neighborhood, ant
on both sides will be found white anC
black, dividing; not on questions which
are vital TO the existance of society an(
the decision which one way or thu
other involves necessarily violence an(
war, but no questions of administration
and of policy, about which we ma,
differ and still be friends. Applause.
I believe that that Is the policy Of th'
President. l believe it will be the re
suit of the application of that maxim
which he expresses in his inaugura
address, that she serves his party bes
who serves his country lest" Ap
plause. -.
| / believe that if he were deliberately
to set himself to work to see how HI
could most certainly and effectively
strengthen and extend the Republican
party as such. it would be by the adap
tation of the very policy which seek:
to obliberate party distinctions such al
they have been. Renewed applause.
But whether that be SO or not, 1 an
satisfied, divested as he is of all person
al ambition on his own part 9th, thar
that Of making name for himsel
which will be prominently identified
with tie prosperous history of hi
Icountry, that the administration o
Rutherford Is. Hayes will be hereafter
marked in the history of the land u
the beginning of new order OF thing,
which distinguished the second cen
tury OF our existence parallel with tina
which marked its birth. Tremendous
applause.

GEN. BoYNToN, the Washington cor.
respondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
In q special to his paper, ON Monday,
says of the alleged Foster, Matthews,
Gordon compact, that, "Whatever
may be the truth as to the existence OF
the alleged agreement between Stan
ley Matthews and some Republican, IL
seems certain that Gov. Hampton has
not been misled by il. Judge Maekey
who is Hsmpton's legal representative
here, says that Hampton assured him
that he had no knowledge whatever OF
any such agreement, and further, that
he considered it a great injustice to
President Hayes to assume that he had
been party TO auy compromise affect
ing the securing of his title to the Pres
ideney. The agreement seernsin point
of fact to have been nothing more than
an expression OF an Individual opinion
on political prophecy which is certain
to be ralizei.. The sperit of the COM
pact, If such there was, will be exclud-
ed.

DISCUSSING the Southern question in
the last issue OF H@ptr's Ueekay, Mr.
George w. Curtis says: Nobody can
be justly reproached for saying that a
policy which has lost to the Republi.
cans every Southern State, which has
not effectuHlly protected the negro,
and which has i'm bittered the jealousies
of classes and of race, however indis-
pensable it may have been when adopt
ed, is not wise permanent policy. A
policy may have been wise and una
voidable II years ago, which il is now
wise to modify in order to secure more
surely the results for which it was
originally adopted. There can be no
doubt that IL the freedmen had. been
abandoned at the end Of the war to the
local self government Of the old slave
holding class and the white trash
they would have been reduced TO a
condition little better than slavery.
4 hat danger has in great measure pass
cd away. Twelve years have taught
the new citizens their power. and the
old citizens the necessity, for their own
safety, of friendly relations. And,
above all, whatever wrongs may be
done anywhere In the country to any
citizen, the remedy Is to te sought un-
der the law only. There cannot be one
kind of national protection in one State |
and another kind in another State.
