Obedience to this
clear mandate of Constitutional duty was not in the least
inconsistent with a faithful and vigorous use of all the other
powers which were lodged in his hands by the Constitution
for securing the rights of the colored people, or the purity
and integrity of National elections. It is true that substantially
the same vote elected Packard of Louisiana as that which chose
the Hayes electors. But the authority to declare who is the
President lawfully chosen, and the Constitutional power to
maintain the Governor in his seat by force are lodged in
very different hands. The latter can only be used by the
National Executive under the circumstances specially described
in the Constitution, and it can never be used by him for any
considerable period of time contrary to the will of Congress,
and without powers put in his hands by legislation which must
originate in the body which represents the people.
The infinite sweetness and tact of his wife contributed greatly
to the success of the Administration of President Hayes. She
was a woman of great personal beauty.
