The letter of Gov. Chamberlain to
Stanley Matthews, which is found in our
columns, testifes to the devotion and her.
oism with which the writer clings to the
cause of liberty in South Carolina, and
points out to the President clearly the path
which duty calls upon him to pursue.
Nothing can be more certain than that the
administration while holding out the
olive branch to the South should stand
firmly "by the law and the right for re-
publicans." In this way truly "peace
will come and will abide-the peace OF
justice and law, the only peace worth
fighting for" Quite as true also, is the
assertion of Chamberlain that ito permit
Hampton to reap the fruits of a campaign
of murder and fraud, SO long as there
remainslpower to prevent it, is to sane.
ton such methods" How many men are
there in the free North who will endorse
a policy which for the sake of trade will
place murderers in the highest Offices and
disregard the innocent blood shed by
them, which cries out for justice If
there are any such President Hayes should
shun their advice as be would pois on.

The Matthews-Fosuer Pledge.

The facts in regard to pledge said to
have been given to Southern democrats
before the Inauguration, binding the ad-
ministraiion of President Hayes to with
draw the troops from South Carolina and
Louisiana and recognize Hampton and
Nichols as Governors of those States, are
becoming more fully known. There is
no reason to doubt that Stanley Matthews
and Charles Foster of Ohio, pending the
counting of the electoral vote in Congress,
entered into contract with certain South
ern democrats as above stated.
Nor is there any doubt that Matthews
and Foster pretended they were author
lied TO act and were acting for Mr.. Hayes
in this matter, although he knew nothing
of the pledges they were giving in his
name. The Southern democrats on their
part agreed to aid in counting the electo-
raj vote and the installing of Hayes in
office; Matthews and Foster agreed to
withdraw the troops etc.
1t is said the original contract will soon
be published and set at rest all dispute
concerning its character and the parties
who made and signed it. This will show
that the President had nothing to do with
it. that it was the work of Matthews and
Foster, who with astonishing impudence
and unwarrantable assumption of au-
thority pretended to speak and act as his
agents. This was the agreement or I'M
Outstanding which Mr.. Blaine denounced
on the floor of the Senate, for which he
was in turn denounced by nearly all the
independent press as having made an
attack upon President Hayes, although
he then and there stated in the strongest
and most unequivocal language that the
President had nothing to do with the trade
and dicker policy OF Matthews and Fos-
TER.
Since there has BEEN SO much said re-
lating to this matter the publication of the
document referred to is quite desirable.
The President has always denied. and on
some occasions with honest warmth and
Indignation, that he had anything what
ever to do with pledges to withdraw the
troops. His statement will be confirmed
when the pledge and the names of its
signers are printed. The independent
press" which labored with superservicea-
BILE zeal TO fasten the great scandal npon

the trade and dicker arrangement of Mat

ICY are placed in rather sorry condition
by the developments made. but they have
been so accustomed ito turn about and
wheel about" as Interest or caprice die
tates that they will get through the job
better than apprentices at the business of
making sudden and frequent changes
could do. Already they have begun to
throw brickbats at Matthews and Foster,
and are becoming nearly as demonstra-
tive in favor of supporting Chamberlain
and Packard as they were two weeks ago
in kicking them out Of Office and giving
the bulldozers full license to work their
own bloody will in the Sonth.
