About the came time MATTHEWS writes to

ANDERSON, however, having nothing bet
ter offered him than the place of Consul TO
Funchal or place as Inspector Of Customs
In Philadelphia, both OF which he refused,
afterward wrote or tclegraphed to MAT
THEws in the following rough style:

Finally, after all these threats and insults,
we find Mr.. MATTHEWS corresponding with
Mr.. ANDERSON in the present year In tho
most defcrential and afIectiOnato manner,
as follows:

These documents admit of only one com
ment. When a Senator " the United States
has in his possession such Il villainuus and
criminal contract "a that quoted above in
reference to suppresslng the truth regard
ing an election; when that election is In
fact, the very same election through which
that Senator's friend and patron has boon
declared 10 have been elected President of
tho United States; and when that Senator
enters into such a correspondence with the
principal party To that contract. and deals
with that party upon such confidential
and deierential terms cXcrting himself
So continuously to get u satisfactory
Office for the party; and oven after rec"iv-
ing violent and Insulting language from
him, still deems il necessary to apologize
for not travelling from Washington 10 Phil
adclphia OF Baltimore for tho purpose OF
meeting that party it Is impossible TO resist
the conclusion that this extraordinary bond
between the two mcn--botwecn the Senator
and the falsitler Of election returns must
relate to that very falsitication, and to
nothing else
In due time Mr.. MATTHEWS will be heard
before the committee, and will give his ex-
planation OF these astonishing letters To
that explanatIc. the country will listen
with much Interest. but with a most critical
and scrutinizing judgment.
