hitting any crime in the interest of HAYES and
the radical party. The whole history, so far
as developed, is rotten with crime, in which
Mathews, Sherman and Hayes participated.
and the testimony of Anderson, backed up
as it is by documents that can not be denied,
is satisfying the country that the whole pro.
ceeding from first to last TO steal the vote of
Louisiana Anderson acted under instructions
of criminals equally deformed though more
distinguished. Fortunately for the country,
though it may have no effect upon his title,
Hayes himself is dragged before the country,
and this is done by Butler, who offered the
following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, James L. Anderson swears that be-
tween MAY % and June /, 1877, Hon. Stanley
Matthews told him, II have just to day had a
letter from the president in regard 10 your
case, and have written him such a letter as
will secure your appointment TO some posi-
tion," and that on or about June 2, the presi-
dent said to the witness that he had received
the letter from Mr. Matthews requesting him
TO give me place." therefore,
Resolved, That the president be requested to
furnish to this committee all the original let
tiers above mentioned which he has received,
IL any, or certified copies thereof, with copies
of such letters supposed to have been written
by him. as he may prefer, in order to secure
ness on the subject matter thereof.
This document goes to the marrow of the
whole business. Anderson. the forger, liar
and purjurer, was brought into the most
intimate relations with Hayes, and the presi.
Dental fraud did seek to have him APP
pointed to an Office under the government,
and this was all done subsequent to the
dates, as Matthews confesses, when he had
ascertained that Anderson was a villain.
This is the growing sentiment of the
country, with honest republicans rs well as
democrats, for, says the New York Times:
So far as the reputation of Mr.. Ma thews is
mission that he received from Anderson two
documents which contained false statements
and were designed TO accomplish an Illicit pur-
pose; that notwithstanding Anderson's re-
sp0nsibility for these, he urgently recon-
mended him for positions of public trust, and
that he regarded the surrender OF the docu-
menJS in question a sufficient atOnemeDt
for the contemplated outrage on truth and
law. Ii Is not necessary TO go beyond Senator
OF an easy tolerance of raScality, any more
than ii is necessary tn set aside the most char
liable construction that can be placed on his
own letters to discover that his sense of self
respect is quite as elastic as his political con-
science.
1t should be remembered-and it will be
remembered by the American people-that
the damning crimes committed in Louisiana
in the interest of the radical party by An
deIson. aided by Sherman, Matthews aud
other radical conspirators, have been de-
Tended and approved by the radical press
throughout the country until the Potter
investigation commenced, showing up the
infamous schemes resorted to to achieve
success, and even now the effort is made to
break the force of the revelations by proving
the bad character of Anderson. This will
not do. The men who employed Anderson
and the party that was benefited by the con-
spiracy will sink together to fathomless
depths of infamy.
