hard thing to Say, but it seems to be tho
truth, that the wolkingmen have ever been

have always seconded the efforts of tho white
master to maiolain The negro 10 thrall. The

the more Intelligent mechanic class that has
made the hosts Of unskied labor the cruelest OF
all the oppressors Of the negro. The MODS that

The Washington Republican of this morning

The Washington Republican of this morning
publishes what purpors to be true copy OF
the letter written last March by President
Hayes to Mr.. Garfield, requesting that gentle
man to withdraw from the Senatorial contest 10
Ohio in favor Of Mr.. Matthews. ln it the
President says he regards Mr.. Gar6eld's chances
Of election as Speaker as excellent and that he,
the President, will do whatever he can to &C.
complish it. 1t Mr.. Hayes did write tho letter
printed by the Republican, MIR. Garfield has
good cause to complain, for he was undenlab'y
a stronger man before the Ohio Legislature
than MIR. Matthews, and would now De filling
that gentleman's seat 10 the U.S. Senate but for
the letter alluded 10, and yet, so far as is known,
Mr.. Hayes promises to secure his election as
speaker have not been fulfilled. Whether
other people have right to complain, however,
is another and decidedly different question,
for the President, at the time the letter referred
to was written, may have labored under the
ia preston that his Influence with Congress
would be sufficient to warrant his using it 10
MIR. Garfield behalf, but he is sensible mao,
and has long siacc seen that, though the dem
ocra,c Congress would endorse and approve
any of his suggestions that would rebound
either to the honor, credit or interest of the
country, beyond those objects its purposes and
his were entirely different; and having discover
ed this, to have even attempted to fulfill the
promises upon which Mr.. Garfield relied would
have been worse than foolish. for according to
the prcScriplve opinion Of the world political
mistake is equivalent to crime, and such an
attempt could only have resulted 10 disgrace
full failure. Political bargains are proverbially
unstable, aud the pueIilo verdancy of MIR.
Garfield, as exhibited by his exchanging bird
10 the hand for two in the bush, fully Sustains
tho opinion heretofore expressed of that gen.
tlcman by those acquainted with him, and
which is that rapaoity is his leading character
istie, aud overrles his discretion.
