So much needless and mischievous fuss has been made about certain papors, said to be sgroements made during the counting of the electoral vote bo- tween some Southern Senators and Representatives and Messrs, Stanley Matthews and Charles Foster, that the last two gentlemen have expressed their wish to bave them made eh ins They are given below, and it will be seen at once that they Contain no agreement or bargain, oither on the part of the friends of Mr. Hayes or on that of the Southern | gentlemen who received them, The question with the Southern men was whether they should join the democratic filibusters in obstructing the count or whether they should, as it is certain they were inclined to do, help to carry out the electoral law in good faith. In considering this ques- tion, which involved resistance to the urgent demands of many of their Northern party friends, it was natural and proper that they should inquire as to the eflect Mr. Hayes becoming President was hkely to bhaye upon the peaceable and just settlement of the tronbles in South Carolina and Louisia: They remembered that Mr. Mayes haa promised 1n his letter of acceptance to deal justly with those States, but they remembered also that the political canvass had been carried without his remonstrance on an entirely different basis, and they had an undoubted to inquire of his friends what wero his real opinions and what was likely to be his policy, jd the more because somo of the Southern democrats were inclined at all hazards to go with their party, and would have done so had not the wisest and most patri- otic of them influenced them otherwise, Under these circumstances a number of conversa- tions and conferences wero held, which resulted ‘mn the papers naw published. The South- ern men did not ask for an “agreement,” hor did they make or attempt to make any bargain with Mr, Hayes, with whom thoy had no communica. tion, or with any one for him, They did ask Messrs. Matthews and Foster, known to be in his confidence ‘and to be possessed of bis opinions on public affairs, what in their jadgment would be the treatment of the two States if Mr. Hayes became resident, Mesers. Foster and Matthews gave them their opinion as frankly os it was asked, and tho event shows that they judged Mr. Hayes rightly, be- cause tn bis ipaugaral message he did confirm all that they bad said he was likely to do, and announced a policy which was and which remains entirely satisfac. tory to the Southern men, TEXT OF THE DOCUMENTS, ‘The following is tne first and principal ono of tho two papers, the other being a mere memorandum, as ‘will be seen, of aconversation with President Grant:— Hovse ov Rerrusestatives, Wasuixctox, Feb, 27, 1877, Gextieuen—Reterring to the conversation had with you on yesterday, in which Governor Hayes’ policy as to the status of certain Southern States was discussed, we desire to say that we can assuro you in the strong: est possible manner of our great desre to have him bog such a policy as will give to the people of States of South Carolina and Louisiana the rizht to control their own affairs in their own way, subject only to the constitution of tho United states and tho jaws made ip pursuance thereol; and to suy further that trom our acquaintance with und knowledge of Governor Rayer and his views we have the most com- plete contidence that such will be t! policy of hin administration, Respectfully, TANLEY MATTHEWS, CHARLES FOSTER, | To Hon.
