HAYES THINKS OF IT.
number OF tho Congressional friends Of the Presi.
dent called upon him this morning with reference TO
the speech Senator Howe delivered yesterday. They
all expressed more feeling in tho matter than the
President himself ana suggested that the speech be
answered tearing that to permit pass In silonce
might be an admission OF It's cntiro truth. The
President took different view of tho question, piac
ing himself the ground that what he had done In
tho way Of official action based on his sense o
right, without thinking for q moment what might be
the result as affecting him personally. He was op-
posed to public response, preforring that his
should be the best interpreter Of and prn
cipes. He had sought TO perform his duty, ana with
this no was content, no matter how others, with
prejudccd minds, might view hts conduct All would
hc said. rccoiect how bitterly Senator Howe had de-
nounced President Lincoln toward tho close Of his
coin from being nominated for a second term. But,
Notwithstanding all this, he was renominated and be-
camo more popular than ever. the people having be-
come better acquainted with him and appreciated
his conduct tho more President Hayes was per.
fectly willing to be judged by tho tribunal. The
President does appear be in tho least disturbed
by Senator Howe's speech, thinking that time will
fully vindicate HIM.
