the leaders and drive them OUT OF tne
State. We may as we'll all make up our
minds to that. God only knows what is
to become of us. It is too late now to
cry, and the only plan is to meet the fu-
ture. wilfdo sll T can to keep you in
until December. am very sorry to
hear you have not saved anything
as I had hopes that you had laid
up something for "rainy day." Well,
We are young. enough, yet to start again.
I will strike for the West when I leave
the Senate. see you have an election
for members on 26th. What will our
people do? Did they appoint Repub-
lican one of the Commissioners of Elec--
ton? Well it is nearly all over, and
Chamberlain's reform has ruined the
party and all its members. I shall be
glad to see you, and will be here to meet
yen if You let me know when you are
coming. Your friend.

PIoUs RUTHERFORD WILL LIE.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, June II, 1877.
DEAR GENERAL: Hayes told me you
should not be removed, except for cause,
until December. Now, / think We can
prevent it until then, although he will
lie, and Sherman controls him. 1t is a
mistake about Butler getting up the
fight against me: It was John Cochran,
because he was not appointed Collector.
Be careful what you say about either
Cochran or Butler. The committee
meets about middle of July. Ithink we
can manage it so as not to give much
trouble. Keep sharp lookout upon it.
Excuse haste.
Yours truly, JNo. J. PATTERSON.
THOSE TELL-TALE BOOKS OF PARKERs.
UNITED STATES SENATE: CHAMBER,
- WASHINGTON, July II, 1877.
DEAR GENERAL: Your letters receiv-
ed. I have also one from Bray ton saying
that Dennis was mad at mo when he re-
turned, and was saying he would tell
what he knew. Now, he don't know
much, only that T talked to him about
getting Elliott of, but it was not done.
Brayton says he shamed him out of it.
Now he is mad because he was not ap-
pointed Collector or Postmaster, but
there is no danger of him. He don't
know much, and If told it would do no
harm. But if he could save his neck by
telling on others be would do it. The
Democrats are after him more than me.
But do not say one word about it, as it
will only exasperate him. From what
Judge Bacon writes me and all hear, I
do not think, they want to ipjure me. l
mean the Democrats. Some Republi-
cans might want to do it to save them
selves. Hoge and Bacon both say
Cochran is not so wicked against me. If
Parker's books for 1S71-1872 are gene
they can fndJout very little. L do not
think either you OF I will have any trou
BILE. My family is up at Montery, de.
lightful, cool place. I was up there on
Sunday. Rawlins was here yesterday.
I hear nothing new about your place;
and think Hayes and Sherman will keep
their word to let you alone. By the way
Carpenter has not gone home yet, and is
at New York. Well, he don't seem to
care for any one but himself. Early
writes me that Trescott says McCrady
will be appointed q. S. District Attor-
ney. Write to ME often as will stay
here.
:. Yours truly, PATTERSON.
HAMPTON CAN SAVE HONEST JOHN.
COLUMBIA, 18th July, TT.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 18th
did not reach me until this morning,
owing to my absence on professional bus
mess.
Gen. Butler is fully aware of the Cor
bin game alluded to in your letter. I
sincerely trust that you will persevere in
your good intentions of seating him
Gen. B.
Your persecution comes principally
from your own party. This ] know.
Your avowed intentions to support
Butler aud the frank manner in which
you spoke to the President in my pres
ence as to the Ellenton riots, are appre-
ciated, but Cochran & Co., are very saw
age and to them you owe the present
pressure.
Gen. B. will be in Washington in a
week or so, and will advise with you full
ly as to Corbin's intentions.
You are implicated before the commit
tee in the $l37 900 matter; also in some
thing else which cannot discover.
Scott, think, is screening himself by
befouling his former friends and associ-
ates.
With my experience and efficiency and
strong endorsement from the Southern
Senator's, Gov. Hampton, and the better
portion of the S. G. Republicans, the
mission to Italy and Brazil should be
rendered to me. Let the President un.
derstand that my eudorsers are i'll earn
est. as they are.
Yours truly, JOHN e. BACON.
MODEL LETTER from UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WAsHINGToN, July %, 1877.
DEAR GENERAL: Yours received and
of course gave me great anxiety. have
employed Col. Cook, one of our shrewd-
est lawyers, and he says they can only
require me to give bail here and that can
demand hearing, and they must prove
their case, and that / can offer proof of
my innocence, and if the Commissioner
thinks proper he can discharge me. He
says can resist even if I am indicted,
which cannot be until October. Judge
Cartier would grant the requisition, and
he is all right. 1t will be so appa.
rent an effort to get me out Of the Senate
that every one will understand it, and
make me friends and create sympathy
for me. I will keep sharp lookout,
but in no event shall be taken back to
S. G..
Dennis is staying here, and seems
very uneasy. I have seen Scott to-day.
He is uneasy but pretends otherwise. |
