SIR: When new members of Congress are

Oath" viii you please explain what TINS means
and what the difference between these two 0aths Is a
cblioe &c c.
Neis- Yors April 20. 1873.
[4as,cer.-The ironclad oath is az follows: L.
A b, 90 solemnly swear or affirm that have
never voluntarily borne arms against the uniteo
States since have been citizen thereof; that L
have voluntarily given noaid countcnance counsel OK
encOurag cement to persons engaged III armed hos'l
ity thereto; that / have neither sought nor ac-
cepted nor attempted to exercise the functions OF
any Office whatever under any authority, or
pretended authority In hostility to the
United States; that | have not yielded
voluntary support to any pretended gov
crnment, authority, power, or constitution wlthlh
the United States hostile or inimcal thereto. Ana
do further swear that to the best of my knowF
edge and ability | VIII support and defend tue
Constitution of the United States against
all enemies. foreign and domestic; that
will bear true faith and allegiance to the
same that / take this obligation freely, without
any mental reservation or purpose of evasion
and that will well and faithfully discharge the
dutirs of the office on which am about TO enter
So hclp me God" The modified oath is simply the
latter rart of the above oath, beginning with
the pledge to support and defend the Constitution
The ironclad oath was adopted during the war to
keep actual traitors from claiming seats in Con-
crcss from rebel districts, or to keep out active
rebel sympath.zers. Ii WIS modified out
of the abundant generosity of the North, in
order that men who had been rebels and trai-
tors might be permitted again to enter Congress
on renewing the oath Of allegiance they had once
broken One result of that generosity is that they

nd Chamberlain's governments In Lou
isIans and South Carolina should be sus-
tanned, and that at the same time the
same friends Of the same Mr.. Hayes
promised southern representative men
that Packard and Chamberlain should be
got rid Of. Chandler Is a politician who
has been for years, the trusted friend OF
more Republican leaders than any other
man out Of congress. When the ineffiN
cheney OF Mr., Mccormick as secretary of
the Republican National Committee be.
came apparent, after the November elec~
ton, Chandler, who had held the same
oRice for many years, was sent for, and,
attera stay at headquarters In New York,
was sent to South Carolina and Florida,
to look alter the fraudulent claims OF the
Republican to the votes of those states.
It is certain that he knew all that was
known of affairs at that time, and, as he
was thereafter actively employed until
the Inauguration, 1t seems altogether
likely that in what he now says he speaks
Of affairs which he knows all about. He
is not a weak person, and we don't be-
lieve he allowed Messrs. Sherman,
Mathews, Foster and the rest to use him
unless he had definite promises. Let Mr..
Chandler tell all he knows. lie has made
royal beginning. As he is unques.

prominent men, and dictates for them the
plan of the fight against Mr.. Hayes. HIS
letter should have wide circulation.

and that he would not have been had It
not been tor the pledges given for him by
Secretary Sherman. Now If one bargain
is to be investigated it is but reasonable
to suppose that the other would be open,
oil TO inquiry. Perhaps there Is no de-
visable plan OF awakening more bad blood
than the scheme Of opening up the excii>
ing contest settled last spring by the
counting>in OF Mr.. Hayes.
THE POLICY OF THE REDS.
A prominent anti>administration Re-
publican said to-day, in discussing the
policy OF his party: "a negative course
with us now means death. The Demo"
cratic party has always been an agrees
sive one. and In that alone lies almost all
of its great strength. We propose to
adopt ITS policy of aggression. Only
such a policy can be able TO unite U.s..
There BIAS been altogether too much con-
science In the Republican party, and
that Is what we are afflicted with now.
The Democratic party is not troubled in
church. II has within its own bounds
mt ans of absoluti0n for the sins OF any OF
its members" The good, innocent
ADMINISTRATION PEOPLE
say that Hayes and his cabinet pretend to
see nothing in Chander's letter but the
wall of L disappointed ofiiceseeker. A
member OF the cabinet, in referring to-
night to this letter, charging compro.
misses, fraud, etc. upon the president,
said that 1t could be regarded as nothing
more than the same cid story. He did
not think IL contained any new charges.
nor did he think that II would carry with
it any weight. He said that the removal
OF federal troops from the state houses at
Columbia and New Orleans wac not the
result Of any compromise. and was only
decided upon by the president after the
whole matter had been thoroughly con.
sidered IN the cabinet, and. however un-
wholesome it may have been ut the time
to the Republicans. nobody now doubted
THE PROPERTY OF THAT STEP.
so far as any arrangement of the kind
charged has been entered into by the
commission that visited New Orleans, he
said that the men who composed that
commission were too respectable and
pure minded to be guilty of such
wrong. Upon the whole he looked upon
Chandler as
A VERY RAD MAN,
who was only growing now because he
failed to get the Office he wanted, and
which he thought he deserved for the
part he played in Florida.
