GOV, 1IAYES. WIHAT RIND OF A MAN HI I8, From Our Oien Corvespondent. Corustnus, O, Aug. 17.—On arriving here, of course the first man I act out to ace was Gov. Ilayes, Much to my disappointment, when 1 called st the Governor's room in tho State-llouse, he was out. I strolled into the reception-room, the attraction of which is a col- lectlon of oil-color, life-size portraits of ex- Governors of Ollo. There I was stared quite out of countenance by the portrait of a defunct ex-Governor, cxecuted—the portrait, I mean— In that astounding style of art the effect of which {s, that the subject's cyea appear ‘¢ sot as immovably as those of n salt mackerel. To escape thelr flshy glare, I returned to the ante- room, I had waiteda few minutes, when, with o quick, firm tread, entered a man stitl on the youthful sido of middle-sge, somewhat above Lhe averago stature, nclther stont nor lean, but of robust, bealthful presence, and whose alr, with neither preoccupation, wor affcctation, mnor aclf-consciousness about it, was that of one who had business toattend to, andwas on his way to dispateh it, without bustle or delay. His broad-brimmed strmw bat and loose black-lustre sack-cont marked the Western frecdom of minnner that unmistakably was iugrained and habitual, and the which it s altogether impoesible for a man bred outslde the Misslssippi Valley to don, *That is Gov, Hayes," sald Private-Secretary Lee, as the Governor pnssed Into his private oflice withont stopping, so that [ had scarce time to hastily note what I nave written. We followed,—there was no mnonscnse of sending In cards and walting to be summoged Dby an attendant,—und there was that quict 8im- plicity of munuer in his reception that puts one at ease at once, and that to me suggested n striking contrast with my reception upon my Inst provious call upon n Governor, which wus fu tho South, aud where I was kept walting o full hour, to bebold nezro carpet-bar politiciane—barbers and hotel- waiters from the North—push by e and gain admittance forthwith to the Exceutive preseuce. There was nothing gushing or effusive about Gov. Hayes' manner. ITo didn't stily take my hand with the awful Senatorlal solemnity cultl- vated by statesmen anbout Washington. Nor did he shake it with pump-handie fervor. Nelther did he manfest any symptoms of an appronch to that dreadful apprehension which besets small politicians, who {n every corre- spondent suspect the interviewing nulsanco of the pod-auger order, and wha aro struck all aflutter at tho thought that there's no telling how soon, by a twist or two of the pod-auger, thelr own awful emptincss may bo tapped und dn(ligln. let through them, hadw’t antielpated any of theso things of Qov, Hayes. I knew hitn"when he wus a Con- gressman from ouc of the Cincinnatl districts, and In those duys nolody knew Rutherford B. Hayes without soon flndfvnzvut that he was in- capitblo of shaminfng or of posing for eifect, wiille he was of that rare type of self-contained men who, knowlng how and when, seloct their own oceasions for making public utterances, and ars {nvulnerable to nllpthu Interviewlng tubes, augers, and pglmlets, A glunco sufliced to show that he remalned” pre- clsely that manner of man, only more w05 and o look nto his large, steel-gray eyea—keenly observant, and of the sort that never flinch—would have satisfled the inost per- tinacious of fnterviowers of the bootlessnoss of attempting to Interview Iayes. It wasn't my mlssion to attempt it. But, while the conver- satlon turned on our Cincinnnti acqualutunces of a dozen or more years ago, I nade u study of blm. Tho portralts of hini, s0 far ds I have seen, are not quite libelous, but thoy arce littlo Ilke tho man, ~'Lhere is none of that hard con- tour about his face that appears in them, In- atead, his features ure moblle and expressive, Stroug und full of charncter the photographs show thein to be, with his full, high forchead, bromd across the brow, his prominent nose, slizhtly aquiline, and closely-trlinmed beard, But what Is not reproduced in the photographs {s tho open record of cleanly life, honest purpose, and strafghtforwardness, that s writ {n cvery line of Lils face, and reflected in the unconsclous opentieas and frankness with which o moets your glanee, and which ne nan of toncealments could successfully assumne, In conversation, his face llzhts up with anima- tlony and, whilo liis phrases are never oratorie calor florid but clear-cut and preclse, [ bave secn his cyea kindlo n o “I"E that betokened eurnestness or enthuslasinquilv at vartance with the notfon cultivated In some quarters that he {sa cold-Dlonded fellow, distinguished chlefly by a moderation not so much jndiclous as the fnevitable result of a sluggish temperument, His fine, florid complexion, nls reddish-auburn halr and board, both now dngcd with tray, his quick glance, and habltualty-active mauner, alt atteat that hls temperament s of the nervous order, With less breadth of shoulderand depth of chest, he would inovitably have been nervous, But his physlque fs too spléendid to admit of his belug ™ nervous, anl his self-palse s that which bcluu%u to perfect health, e is a man of blood, und bune, and nerve, all In splendid order, wlm. nt B4, fooks younger than most men at 45; fs active aud alert; andnobody who takes agoodlookat him would mistake him fora man of cold, slugglsh temperament, 1o {8 en- dowed with superabundant vitality, none of which has he dissipated. He 18 of correspond- lx?; energy when oceaslon rc?uh'ea, as those who know the fuslde hiatory of the Ohlo cam- paign of last fall, and how Hayes himself direct- ed it throughout, will testify, His luck has none of it been mere luck, It waa the result of polltical ssgacity of that vory uncommon sort that proceeda from enlightencd common-sense; and that sagacity was directed by an honorable, cnergetic ambitfon. Ie ian't of the restless, splutiering sort, But he couldn’t but be ener- tzctlu and ambitious, if he tricd; and jt occurred 0 e as emlncuuyulmmurullc when, {n re- ply to my ?\wnl(un whether he hadn't, at the expiration’ of his first term as Governor, con- :lcupou:vl returning to the Bar at Clnciuuati, 0 sald: “Ten Fel" gone leave a big %:p in one's life. Teu of the best years of mine hud gone in the army sad in public life. Had I returned to the Bar, I should Laye.been ton years bebind, and it would have regulred immenss labor to havo caught up,—to have gained that position in the profession which, hiad 1 returned to the Bar, I should have sct out to gain, Had occasion re- qulred ft, I should have returncd to practlce, and have fimw at it, and shouldn’t have stapped untll I bhad caught up, But I waa asked to run again, and did so.” And those here who know hlm best will tell you that, fn- stead of bulng borne along by his'good luul't, ha 15 & man of clearly-defined purpose, who more than once haa sot out behind, but has ‘' kept at it, without stopping,” until he has uverfld&on the occaslon, which ‘ln turned to success, #To look at Hayes now, his quict manner, and reserve of wpeech, and deliberato habit of ex- ression,’ sald one who served with him during he War, * you would scarecthink what a fellow of dush and’ hurrah be was in the army. He CIIICAGO, MONDAY, AUGUST ‘21, 1876. was cool enough always in handling his men, But, when gn ml);m to a Egm. and an advanco was to be mnde, he led with most reckless courage. At Winchester he was the firat man who, in the faco of the fire of a itebel battery, plunged nto the alough, had to dlsmoum1 leaving his horss foundering elp. lesaly In the mire, and, wading ashore, waved hie cap to his men to follow. They did; and that battery was moved to another part of the field, double-quick, to avold capturc, when his brigade joined him.” 4 South Mountain, too, the soliiers of his command tell how, leading an nasault upon the caemy's line, Gen, Ilayes was wounded, and lay u’mn tha fleld, with” his arm broken, until he mistook n flank movement of his reglinent for aretreat. Then ho lpmn¥ to his feet and rushed to the thickeat of the |l fim, where here. wmained urging hia men on, untll, overcome by paln and loss of blood, he sunk to tho ground u('nln. Iils gallantry In the charge at Cloyd's Mountaln, in the cunpaign In_the 8henandoah Valley, and at Cedar Creck, where his horse wns _shot under him, will long ba rccounted with pride b’y the voter- ans of Ohlo. And yet fiayes 13 the very man 1 remember hearlng say at Cincin- natl, just after the closa of the War,—and it waa characteristic of his hatred of nimmmlng and of theatric hernlea: “ Don't belicve the man who says he went into battle without fear, I don't believe any sober man ever did, withont fully appreciatin We peril. T know I never did. It's one of those things that has always to be fought agalnst,” Whocever talks with him for but ten minutes will find that he Is no more s man of evasions than he is of sham pretentions. He s, as I bave alrcady Intimated, very far from being one of those complafsant beings who put them- selves on_tap, o to speak, at anybody's in- stance, and go on apillin all over until some- body Mmts them off. But his methods are dircet, and farthest removed from those of the machine-politiclans. As was sald to me, to-day, by one who has known him long and intimate- 1y, * Gov. Hayes, in all his polifieal carcer, has not unce compromised himself; has made no Largains or trades, or promised appolntmenta, to secure nomination, influence, or votes. You may rest assured he hasn’t done so wow; and, if elected, be will go to the White ‘House untrammeled, and Te will himsclf be President. If he should happen to be defented, he will light upon his fcet, and there wiil bo nothlng to be exposed, whether he he clected or defeated, that any man nced he ashamed to have done In brond daylight. He can say No, and fsn't afrald_to say it when ho thinks it ought to he said: and, when hils niud 13 made up that thing is zht, while he will Iisten to you patfently, there's no use of trying to move fitm.~ It can't be done.” I wish those who are 8o convinced in thelrown concelt that soinebudy In going to run Hayes should he be elected President, could sce the man bimself, and hear the testimonies that are Tiere to be found on cvery side, that must satis- Iy them they are mistaken fn their man. There would then be loss of that rldiculous stufl and nonsense afloat about his belng mercly n mun of respeetable medlocrity, which is eald to slenify that he bas nelther the brains nor the will.to be President when clected. The consplcuous fact in his politieal career s, that in no canvags has he permitted himsclf to bo poverned by any ‘managing politiclans; and that, after clection, ns often as such at- tempt wis made, be has ignored the managers who would have taken him into_thelr keepiog, The appointinents cited In my Cleveland letter were ouly {llustrations of his general course In acting on his own responsibility, dircctly antag- onistic to the dictates of the purty-managers, ‘Thus it was that, in_his appointinents of Trus- tees for the Btate Charitable and Correctlonal Institutions, be made it o rule to accord repre- sentation to the Democratic ininority; and thus Gien, Tom Ewing, oneof the foreniost of the Democratle Ieaders fn the State, and eapecially conspicuous in the late campalgn against Hayes, was by the Jatler made a iTustee of the Nol- dlers' Home, and Judge Pugh, of this city, an- other active Domocrat and partisan leader, wns appointed by Gov. Hayea o Truetee of the Re- form 8chool. On the Pollce Board for Clncin- untl, with Its big power of patronnge, he ap- ofuted, out of the five Comtnissioners, two emocrats; and for the Supreme Court Coni- mission, positions upon which were cagerly sought l‘aly prominent Republican lawyers, he appointed _one Democrat and ono’ Liberal out of the five mcmbers. 8o, in like manner, has he retalned or reappolnted o conslderable nuinber of the appointees of Gov. Allen. It wos ulmrly pursuant to his theory of the right of the minority to repre- sentation, and In” bhehalf of tho fair-play of which that theory 8 but a single expression, that hie was instrumental fn securing the pass- nge of the law securing to_the minority repre- sentatlon on the Elcction Boards in every pre- cinet In Oblo. In short, In his associations and habits of thought, and his entire politieal career, he has had nothing fn common with the machine-politiciang, nalnst whoin he took his stand for Civll-Service Reform when a Meinber of Congress some ten years since} and he was ono of the most active condjutors of Jenckes, of Rhude Islund, In urging that reform. The lmrn;;nlph upon Civil-Service Reform fn his let- er of accoptunce, Instead of having been in- s{zlred by Carl S8churz or auybody clse, was but the reitération of the views exprossed by Goy. Hayes in his message to the Ohiv Legislature in 1809, aud fu Wis Clucinnati speech of 1574, with which the letter, upon thut topic, 18 almost identleal In language. . From personal nequaintance with him fora number of years, us well as from the unanimous testimony ‘of those who know him best, Iatn gind to believo he lan't a great inan in any sense fu which the American atatesmen perennlally on exhibition at the Natlonal Capital are grest men. Ho served two torma in Congress, and didn’t shoot-oft a single political speech for huncombe'’s sake, e coulin't by any effort work himeelf Into o perspiration fu contempla- tlon of the natlonal fowl that has his roost In the settin’ sun, Had he been in Congress a dozen terms, he wouldn't once have engaged in that pultry, “smarty," parllamentary fence whereln the typical preat statesmen of theso tines seem to” win their laurcls for the most part, 1o has too much goud-sense to perpe- trato what {n the Ialls of Congress n?%fim‘a to pass nowadays for aratory: nmflm is of breadth eunough of mind, and of "such fair judicial tem- pery 05 to be fncapable of those acts by which partisun prejudice is mflained to white heat, and sober d1m jgment banished from the canvass, His Administration would b national, not par- tisan; and he would nelther be run by the ma-~ chine, nor would he run the machine himself, Haugyru, PSS S, TROOPS NEEDED, PROOY OF THE NXQESSITY OF TIK FRESIDENT'S ORDER—A DEMOCHATIO ACCUUNT OF INTIM- IDATION BY WIITE-LINERS, Dispateh to Charieston News and Courier (Dem.), Aigey, 8.

Qov, Cham- berlain, Congressman 8malls, and Judgo Mackey came over from Columbla, and arrived at Edgeficld in the morning, Elllott didn't come. The meeting was held In front of the Academy, outside of the village, and about 1,500 persons, whlte and black, were present. Assoon a8 the Republicans had taken the staud, ubout 000 mounted whites rode up with a large crowd on foot, and demanded half of the time for Democrallc speakers. Tho Governor ns- sented, and agreed to lalf-anchour for cach speaker. The stand was then crowded with Democrats and Republicans, The Uovernor spoke first, but sald very little, ant was ovidently under great restrafnt, lic spoke of his desire to reform the State, and compared himself in this ru‘)oct to Gov, Tilden, fle Leld that, if clected, ho could do more towards reform than wcnu clse. Mcantline the Democrats kept crouding closer fo the stand, showing a determination to do everything to breuk the nueeling up, About this time tho stand came down with a crash, but was replaced, and Gen, Butler replied to the Governor, He mude o very bitter speech, speaking out holdly his opluton of the Governar, }fo said that Smalls and the Governor bad de- nounced bin as a leader of Ku-Klux and I(eq.u- lators, If they had made this ‘statement, be.

Heo safd he knew they could elect thelr county tickot, but thought 1t unwise in them to opposs the Governor, Gen.

This mishap was received by the Demo- erats with cheer after cheer, sa signlfirant that Radieals would go-lown and the Democrats stay-up. The negroes by this time were com- pletely hacked.

Tilden subserined toward the organ- {zatlon of the Tammanvy Regiment during War isa fabrication out of wholo cloth, and Mr. Tewitt should have known that it had no found- atlon in fuct. The documents of the * Unlon Defense Comunittee,” which was started n this clty at the outbreak of the War for the purpose of equipping reglments for active service, show that the entire coat of sending the Tammany and three other New York regiments tothe front was defrayed wliolly by the Commnittee, It was, therefore, unfortunate for Mr. Hewltt to have selected the Tammany Regiment as the one to which, as ho = stated, without tho .ufimm foundation, Tilden gave o sub- seription, when the records show that he never gave even ode cent to the organization. These Lacts do not admlt of dispute, They have pussed fnto history.

Of tho milllous of officlul and otier dovu- ments publlshed during the war, not ono has yet been found showing that Tilden had given couusel or money or s word of cncouragement I favor of perpetuating the Unton, Thers 18 one, however, to be found—one uuder his own algnature—in which hie actually proposed to let the Bouth establish an independent nation be- fore a shot was tired—in the hope that she could make a treaty of peace with the North for common “defense, Samucl J.

RECOBD OF A REPORMER—LUIS RELATIONS WITH BOSS TWEED AND 313 GANG, Brookiyn (N, 1.} Arugua (Dei. ). Bamuel J, Tilden became the responsible di- rector of the Democratic party in this State in 1800, when he succeded Dean Richmond to the Chalrmanship of the Stato Committee, He held the latter place until he beeats Governor, In1875. 1o had boen all that time, and long before it, an officer, with Tweed, Bweeney, and Counnolly, in Tammany Hall. How Tilden managed the party, what resulted from the mausgement, aud how he indorsed the results, will be shown, Tu 1868, the Republlcan majority for Griswold, outside the City of New York, was 41,207, Ilof- man, the Tweed-Tilden candldate for Governor, iad been Mayor ol that city for ncarly four yeara. The Ring had been under full headway duringad that time. Hoffman had served the Iting tohelr satiefaction as Mayor, and they were determined to conunt him in as Governor at any bazard. This they did. Just before the election a clreular, slgned *Samuel J. Tllden, Chalrman Democratic State Committee," was sent to county agenta, requesting that advancs returns from each town be forwarded to Tweed, ‘The circular said: ‘There [a of coursc an Imnortant object to be ob- tained by s simultancona transmission, a? the hour of clostivg the polla, but not longes waiting. The * Important object " was obtained; 87,000 falss ballots were counted in the dtyfon o pretended majority of 50,150, and Hoftman was declared clected ; 34,845 more votes were count- ol than were cast for Guvernor two years afterwards, and 41,725 more than wers cast two years before. Gov. Tilden favored the nomina- tion of Ifoffman, knowing his Mayoralty record, That he abetted, profited by, and sustained the fraudulent counting of votes, will he shiowa, Hoftman dld not disappoint the expectations of either Tweed or Tilden, He made them as satisfactory & Governor as hie had Mavor, and promnotion” was still in order. Arrangements were made to put Hoffman in the Presidential ehalr, with Tilden as Secretary of the Treasury. The explosion, however, lamnded Tweed on Biackwell’s Island, Hoffmsn fn Furnpe, snd Tilden In the Htale witness-scat. After Hofl- man hecame Governor, the gang were em- boldencd; and Tweed, Norton, Ficlds, Genct, and others of them planted themselves in the Bemate and - Assembly, Thesc worthles jolned hande with SMurphy and Ja- cobs, of Brooklyn, and with the Canil Ring of the State, and controlied every legislative measure passcd during Hoftman's two terme. Laws were enacted by which New York was plundered, by which Brooklyn wus plundered, and by which the Btate was plundered. The Rings were fn the most flourishing conditfon fn all directions, Tweed, the poor chufr-maker of 1860, hecame the great Money-King of 1870, and the others were like unto_hitn, s botef and winc bills at Albany during the winter-seasion of the Legislature were $600 per day; the Americus Clih-Iouse, at Greenwlch, was runat the expensc of several hundred thousand dol- lurs during the summer inonths. Tweed's Fifth-avenue place and adornments are sald to bave cost over 3500,0005 his stables cost $40,- 000: flowers at 2 Lall giren by the Club cort 50,000. DPresents valued at’ $500,000 were brought to the side of & Young Princess of the family on her wedding-dsy. Country villux, fast lorses, yachts, diamonids, rallroads gas-stocks, bouis, Lani-shares, blocks of real estate, newspapers, Court-Houses, aqueducts, pavements, sewers, docks, parks, brmges. and even Judges, and all the offices in the two citles, were mnong the assets of the members of the two Rings. ‘These things were as svell known for years prior to 1870 as they are now. The unsuborned newspapers were dally filled with sccounts of Ring-robberies, fncrensed debt, (nereased taxes, magnificent schemer. and the Oriental displays made by those vulgar thicyes. Gov. Tilden was not deaf, dumb, and blind. e was the maln prop upon whom the rascals leaned. Had he not been as satlzfactory to them as Chairman of the State Cominittee a3 Hoflinan was for Gover- nor, the thieves would not have tolerated his resence thirty days. None but children will En!!cve that Tilden was o fool, ¥rom the time Tilden Lreeame Chatrman of the State Committee, 1500, to the time of the burst-up of the New York branch of the Ring, 1871, there was vdded to the debt of New York 5-5(].600,0(!). During the sume perlod there was added to the debt of Brooklyn $20,000,000. During those five memorable years, the Rings of those two_cities had collzcied in taxes and borrowed $20,000,000. They had the handling of the fmperinl revenues of §47,000,000 per au- o, And yet the vur{ head of the organiza- tion throngh which they obtalned a politi- l:;ll exlstenca knew nothing of their transace tions. . . . ‘Tilden there made a speech, {n which he glor fled the actlon of the party, extolling its lmrhy, and Indorsed the men who, with himself, eon- trolled its managemnent. Ile did this, knowlug that many of the men with whom he was acting were the most unserupuious vagabonds and no- torfous thicves an the contincut; he did {t, knowlng that they hud polluted the ballot-box, corrupted Judges, ~ and auborned the press; ha, did it,” knowing that the members of the Legislature, elected by his agency, were but mercenary vassals; he dl it, knowlng that the Governor, who was then signing Tweed and Murphy's bills to swindle tho people, was placed in his position by the fulse counting of 37,000 ballots; he did It, know- Iue that, two years hefure, hie had been threat- ened with sult for alleged complicity [n ballot- box stufling, and that he had been publicly ar- raigued by Horace Greeley and others for the nct. In that 1870 Convention, Mr. Tilden pleaded for the pernctuation of hla ownand Tweed's power in the following langunge: I stand here to claim for the party {under his four years' manazement] that it s not merely an agency of good, without which we could not well et along, but it s the most beneficent and philan- tirople nstitution which tha country ever saw, ‘The remarks were addressed to, and were an Indorrement of the acts of, the ’l'wcud—chcny delegates from New York, and the Jncobs- Kingsley delegates from Brooklyni while the delegates of respectable Democrats, like Have- meyer, Schell, Buckhouse, and Farrington, wery compellea to lsten to the insulis from the golleries, The New York and Brooklyn Rings, recelving political 1ife and sustenance from Tilden’s Camrnittee, were * the most benefivent and philanthropic Institutious which the country eversaw '] Thie is cxuctly the length, breadth, and aize_of Chairman Tilden's apeceh and of Bamuel Tilden's actions, It Is, tou, the slze and measure of his © Reform? declarations, He did not give countenance to the anti-Ring in- dignation-mcetings, and he did not forsake Tweed's gang, until he did [t for self-protec- tion.

Upon thie contrary, they were aimong his sclcclc({ delegates to his Conventlon, and oniy last week Kingsley boasted, In his ucwnilmpel, that Tilden wonld have nothlug to do with pun.
