niShed this letter for publication at
the request Of Judge Matthews
WASHINGTON, March 6. 1877.
Hon. D. II. Chamberlain. Columbia, S. c.:
MY DEAR SIR-I have rot the honor
of a personal acquaintance with you;
but have learned to respect you from
knowledge Of your reputation. | take
the liberty of addressing you now, with
great distrust Of the prOpriety of doing
so, prefacing it BY saying that | speak
without authority from any one, and rep
resent only my own views. The situa.
ton Of public affairs in South Carolina
is too complicated to be discussed at
length in this note, and yet it impresses
me as one that ought to be changed by
the policy of Republican statesmen in
such a way as not only to remove all the
controversies that disturb, but to remov
all the endorsements arising from it to
the party III other parts Of the country.
II has occurred to NE to suggest
whether by your own concurrence and
cooperation an accommodation could
not be arrived ct which would obviate
the necessity for the use of the Federal
arms to support either government, and
leave that to the government which was
best able to stand Of itself. Such a course
would relieve the administration from
the necessity, so far as the executive &C.
ton ia concerned, of making any decision
between the conflicting governments,
and would place you in a position Of
making the sacrince of what ysu deemed
your abstract rights for the sake Of
the peace of the community, which
would entitle you to the gratitude not
only Of your own party, but the respect
aud 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 own personal
good. With great respect,
STANLEY MATHEWS.

AT this time, when there seems
to be such readiness in certain
Democratic quarters to put full re-
lance in the good intentions and
pacific desires of Hayes, and to ac-
cept as heart-truths all his palaver
about desiring to re-establish go
cal self-goyernment" in Louisiana
and South Carolina, it may be
profitable to read again his ex-
pressed sentiments lat an hour when
he conceded the election of Tilden.
He sorrowed then in this touching
style:
II don't care for myself, for the party
yes, and the country, too-can stand
it, but do care for the poor eolored men
of the South. If any part Of the coun-
try suffers or remains at a stand-still. il
will be the South under the new regime.
Northern men cant live there, and will
leave; and immigration into the States
will cease; but, IS l said before, l do
pity the poor black men of the South.
The result will be that the Southern peo-
pie will practically treat the constitution.
al amendments as utilities, and then the
colored mans fate will be worse than
when he was in slavery with a humane
master to look after his interests. That
Is the only eason | regret that the news
is as it is."
