The correspondent of the Louisville Cou
rier.JournaI is far from being as prejudiced
and intolerant as his dispatch to that paper
would indicate. He called on the REPUB-
LIcAN Monday and desired to state that he
had been misled by partisan representa-
tions, and that his dispatch on the assassi
nation OF D. A. Weber was based on mis-,
apprehension of facts and false information;
that he regretted he had done such an in
justice to the memory of Mr.. Weber, and to
repair it as far as possible be had forwarded
complete correction of all the statements
concerning the character of the deceased
as contained in that dispatch.
So manly an acknowledgment and &C
straightforward course honor the con
fessor of wrong, and make one wish that al
distant papers had as honorable represent
atives as the correspondent of the Louisville
| Courier-J Journal.

a general conversation, preliminary to the
first regular meeting.
Mr.. Chandler presented the heads of tho
bureaus to Secretary Sohurz. Chandler
said to SehuTz when he came into the office
he found abuses in the department, especial
ly in the patent and Indian bureaus, which
required heroic treatment, and he had to
use the knite freely, and commended the
present ineumbents TO the confdence of Mr..
Schurz.
Secretary Sohurz replied in compliment
ary terms of Mr.. Chandler's administration.
Addressing the clerks, Secretary Sohurz
said he intended to run the machine on busi-
ness principles.
Mr.. Evarts replaced Mr.. Fish Yesterday

man took formal possession of the Treasury

subordinate, but will assist the new Post
master General whenever his advice and
experience will serve in carrying out his
plans.
"Mr. Key will ask the President to name
for first assistant postmaster general q
representative Republican, in order that the
Republicans of the country may feel aseured
that he intends to act in perfect accord with
that party and to assist the President in
administering the government in the inter
ests of all the people. Mr.. Key says he was
invited to q seat ia the Cabinet to represent
the South, and his purpose is to give psr-
sOnal attention to that section"

cry OF fire was given by one of gsng of

committees shows the Democratic returns
from East Baton Rouge, Morehouse, Qua
chita and West Feliciana were accom-
plished by bulldozing and intimidation. AS
to Webster, in all their first returns they
acknowledged the election of Heath, Re-
publican, but, somehow or other, when it
came to action they substituted Demo
crat.
AS to this and all the other parishes men
toned, it is not to be doubted the Returning
Board acted upon ample grounds, of which
they are now conceded in law to be the best
and only Judge.
If any one doubts these facts, or the basis
on which these deductions are made, they
will be verified by reference to the Demo
cratic returns published in the Picay1,ne
and Democrat of December 10, 1876 and
the Democrat of January l, 1877.
| Even after all this process the Democrats
were short of men to organize their own
| House, So that noleaS vo'snS they took in
Messrs. Cressy, Role and Tremoulet, de-
feated Democratic candidates from the
stauneh old Republican seventh ward of
this city, in which the Democrats have
| never run except as a fOrlorn hope, each of
whom was declared defeated in Demo
cratic as we'll as the official returns. These
three men were daily used to make up a
quorum until sufficient detection could be
obtained from the regular House to make
up a quorum according to their own theory
and they etill compose part of the seced
ing House.
And this body, thus lacking a quorum OF
elected mtmoers on their own showing, or
ganized by choosing Mr.. Bush Speaker, ant
the next day, jointly with the Senators, can
vassed the returns, not furnished by tht
Secretary of State, as required by the stat
utes, but duplicates Of the returns sworI
to by the commissioners of election and sU
pervisors of registration throughout tn
State" and pronounced Messrs. Nioholl
and Wilt elected. The REPUBLICAN noteC
this fact at the time, and then, and eve
since, has only referred to the body as, wha
it really is, Democratic caucus.
Do not these facts establish, first, the nj
ter invalidity of the seeding Legislature
Do they not establish the conclusive valid
ity of the State House Legislaturel
, The Democratic returns also show that
excluding the vote of the city Of New Or
leans, the Republicans carried the S late b.
1000 and upwards. This after all the bull
doing, the actual killing, terrorizing an
the fraud by which large Republican ms
jorlties were disfranchised or cheated,

1t was understood that the Democratic
body at Odd Fellows Hall would today
agree upon a Senator for the long term, to
contest Governor KellOgg's seat. The par
ties were in secret caucus yesterday, and
adjourned with an understanding that
nothing should be done at present. The
candidates, meantime, had narrowed down
to General Gibson, Judge Spofford and

The following letters have been made
public by Governor Chamberlain, at the
special request of Stanley Matthews, and
are the letters alluded to by Mr.. Blaine in
he Senate on the seventh instant:
WASHINGTON, March 6, 1877.
Hon. D. b. Chamberlain, Columbia, South Caroins:
MY DEAR SIR--I have not the honor of a
personal acquaintance with you, but have
learned TO respect you from my knowledge
of your reputation. | take the liberty of
addressing you now, with great distr1st of
the propriety of doing So prefacing it by
saying, that speak without authority from
any one, and represent only my own views.
The situation of public affairs in South
Carolina is too complicated to be discussed
at length in q note, and yet impresses me
as one that ought to be changed Dy the
policy of Republican statesmen in such q
way as not only to remove all the cOntro-
versies that disturb the State, but to re-
move all embarrassment arising from it to
the party in other parts OF the country. 1t
has occurred to me to suggest whether by
your own concurrence and cooperation, an
accommodation could not be arrived at
which would obviate the necessity for
the uss OF Federal arms to support
either government, and leave that TO
stand which was able to stand of
llbells Duou DOuEbc WOulu Ec~
lieve the administration from the neoes-
sity, so far as executive action is concerned,
of making any decisions between the CON
flieting governments, and would place you
in position making the sacrifice of what
you deemed your abstract rights for the
sake of the peace of the community, which
would eLtitle you to the gratitude, not only
of your own party, but the respect and
esteem of the entire country. ! trust that
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 MATTHEWS.
Appended to the foregoing letter are the
following lines by Mr.. EVarte:
