CUSTOM HOUSE, NEW ORLEANS, La, COL
LEcToR's OFFICE, April Z, ls7:--To HON
| STANLEY MATTHEW'S: Dear Sir Packard on
| Monday concluded that his only hope lay IN
| his ability to frighten the President by threat
| ened exposure of rascality committed during
the last campaign, and his agents nave Deen
|. at work since then endeavoring to coltec'
/, | evidence. He has sent for me three times
during the past two days. and yesterday two
of his trusted friends, in order to induce me
to go with them and to convince me that ths
President could not throw him over, gavs
outlines of a plan by which they claim they
} could bring him (the President) to terms
viz: three of the Electors on the Republican
| ticket will swear they did not vote for Hayes
but voted blank; that they did not sign th'
| certificate their names being forged, etc. %
, course, they commit perjury, but that Is
l small matter here. An intimation through
the press that their designs were known ant
would be promptly met, might deter then
J (the Electors) from making the attempt.

al. agreement was requested Dy them 10 ue
