Tha Rind You Hate Alwajs Bears the Signature of Religions Herald. In 1844, the professors in the I)ane Law School were Justice Joseph Story and Simon Greenleaf, each of them, then or afterwards, the author of books well Known to the profession. Judge Story was a most genial and agreeable rJerson, partial to "the boys," as he called his students, and very entertain ing in his lectures, which were often discursive and anecdotal. Full of learning ana delightful reminiscences, he was fond of telling of the distin guished attorneys who had appeared before him on his New England circuit or in the Supreme Court at Washing ton. His favorites were Daniel Web ster and Jerry Mason, of Boston, and William Pinkney, of Baltimore. The celebrated sculptor and poet, William W. Story, was his son. One day, in Rome in his studio, I told him that the first law book 1 ever bought was Story on "Contracts." This, pleased him, and he expressed some faint re gret at ever having abandoned his ear ly pursuit, adding that he had not, in the beginning of his career, purposed so to do. Having some taste tor mod elling, he had come to Rome, prompt ed by filial affection, to put his father in marble. Orders, pleasant and profit able, began to come in upon him, and he had never been able to withdraw Ircm Ins artistic engagements. With some asperity, as it then seemi-d to me possibly I misjudged him he ad verted to the fact that he had not been as much appreciated in the United States as in England, for most of his work had been done for the latter country. For several months Rutherford B. Hayes and Anson BurliDgame were my fellow-students and fellow-boarders. Sitting at the same table, we naturally contracted a warm 'friendship for one another, and with Hayes my intimacy continued until his death. In college, he was quiet, studious, capable, truth ful, thoroughly conscientious, and these characteristics he retained through life. As representative in Congress, general in the Union Army, Governor, President, trustee of the Peabody Edu cation Fund, and president of the Sla ter Fund, he was prompt, dilisrent, faithful in the discharge of every duty, and, while not of extraordinary ability, he never fell below any requirement, and met eyery responsibility with fidel ity, integrity, purrty and success. Few presidential elections have ex cited as profound interest as that be tween Hayes and Tilden, in 1876 Both sections and paities were thor oughly aroused, and the methods used to attain and secure a victory were anh os Annld not find sanction in law j im. u or ethics. The Republicans acted as if they were entitled by a kind of divine right to the control of the government, and they looked upon the claims and efforts oi the Democrats as an imperti nent interference with their sole pre rogative, and an attempted re-establish ment of what had been forever over thrown by the war and by popular suf frage. The contest was so close, and irregularities and frauds were so flag rant and contradictory, that the coun try was on the verge of civil war, and preparations were made to use the army to pieyent the inauguration of Tilden, if he should be connted in. "Return ing boards" and "visiting statesmen'' a have remained terms of reproach, because of "the ways dark nr,ri mpan" with which such officials ware associated. The crisis developed ambiguities and omissions in the Con stitution and the laws. Capital, pro verbially timid, became alarmed, and men largely interested in public securi ties began to consult and combine to ttA o nnnifin adinatment or avoidance of th6 threatened collision. Finally flffer mush pressure, the Congress ("with the undisguised as;ent of Tilden agreed on an Electoral Commission, whose composition (Republicans hav ing a majority of one) assured In ad vance a decision in layor ot .Hayes. Partisans hostile to him denounced and epitheted hm as "His Fraudulsn- cy," but no one ever became Jrresideni with a clearer and better aajuaicaieu title. In a short time the excitement ubsided, the country breathed easier, and the considerate rejoiced that a way of escape had been found from the perils which were so near and menacing. On the day before the lormai inaugu ration (it is reported that Hayes took the oath of office privately in advance, in anticipation of a possible attempt at evolution), 1 was passinbrough Washington and called at the Capitol to see Senator Sherman, with whom I I had enjoyed pleasant relations when we were fellow-members of Congress, in 1857-1860. He received me in the room ot the Committee on Finance, ot which he was chairman, and as I arose, after finishing the interview, he asked me if I had seen the President. To a negative response, he kindly said : "You ought to go and see him, for he thinks well of you," and I have often heard him speak of you." I replied that I should be glad to see him and pay iriy respects, but I had no business with him, and he was so much engag ed that an effort to see him would probably be fruitless. Sitting down, Mr. Sherman wrote on his card that I must be admitted, and, handing it to me, said : "This will enable you to see the President, for he is at my house." Going at once to the house, the cards were taken in, tho President sendfhg me word, that he would gladlw-see me as soon as a delegation then with him retired. Cordially he greeted me, and soon affirmed as the predominant wish of his life and purpose of his adminis tration to pacificate the lately belliger ent sections, remove all causes of bit- j terness, and unite in harmony as one people. In the free and frank conver sation, he declared his willingness to have a Southern man in his Cabinet, on the sole requirement that such an one would give his administration a fair and unprejudiced trial. He men tioned as persons acceptable to him, on the condition mentioned, General Jo seph E.Johnston, Hancock, of Texas, Key, of Tennessee (afterwards appoint ed Postmaster-General), and myself Thanking him for the highly appreci ated honor, I gave reasons why I could not accept, if he position were offered, and then, at his request, stated what I knew of the others passed between us would be censurable, although I remember distinctly tbe conversation.

The sentiments of the President were so patriotic and liberal that I was quite prepared for his bold and man1- action afterwards, when he relieved South Carolina and Louisiana of tho irritating presanco ol the Feder al troops. No public ofiier was ever more sincerely and unselfishly anxious to mitigate animosity and promote justice and fraternity.
