best thing that could happen. Mathews dis.
sented, saying Mr.. Hayes would be bound
by the act of his predecessor. said thought
this would be the best thing that could be
done. Matthews again dissented, and said the
Nichols government was to be recognized, and
that included the recognition of the Hamp-
ton government in South Carolina. said l
did not see how Hayes could help recognizing
Packard, when the Hayes electors had been
chosen by the same vote. Matthews replied
that he had looked into the matter. The
Hayes electors and Governor derived their
title from different sources: said all the re-
turns have been established by the Returning
Board. and no others were legal; and called
bis attention to the fact that if Nicholls and
Hampton were recognized, it would carry
with it the election of two or three Demo-
cratic Senators, and thus we would have q
Republican administration and Democrat
ic Senate. Matthews to this, replied that ar
rangement had been or would be made to
have Republican Senators elected from those
States. That ended the conversation.
