ngton. | was in Washington for
he purpose of getting the troops
lot to interfere, and got an order
% that effect on the afternoon OF
he I'd of March.
Question-Then you mean that
you got an order on that day when
Grants term expired at II
o'clock at night. Now did you not
know that Hayes called on Grant
that same day at IL O'Clock in the
morning?
Answer-No sir, did not hear of
it. Did not know of any confer
ence between Hayes and Grant.
The telegram of the 1st of March,
1877, from Grant to Packard, in |
which he stated that he does not |
believe public opinion will sustain |
any action by the United States
Government in Louisiana and that
troops would be only used to protect
peace, witness admitted to be cor
rect. Witness said he was not in
favor of Electoral Commissions.
He understood through crude and
logical reasoning that il Hayes was
recognized that Packard would also
have to be recognized.
Here another telegram from u.
3. Grant to General Augur, dated
l4th of January, 1877, was read, in
which, while deprecating interfer-
ence on the part of the Federal
Government, he yet said that the
Packard Government should be
recognized, as the Electoral Com
mission had declared them elected.
When the hope of seeing Tilden
| President, whom we knew to be
elected. passed away, on the 18th
of February, we were ready to
confer with Hayes and see what he
meant doing for Louisiana. Among
some promises made to Senator
Matthews were the suppression of
the crime of the education of blacks
and whites together.
