Tilden-Hayes Compromise
federal troops withdraw from the south
Regarding the Hayes-Tilden situation, this was the compromise that was reached. Hayes would be elected President, but in return he had to release the last southern states from Reconstruction.
In the 1876 election, Tilden won the popular vote. However, 20 electoral vote were in dispute (where both parties in the 3 states claimed their candidate won). Eventually, these were given to Hayes. It is implied by many that the compromise to allow Hayes as president was in exchange for pulling Union troops out of the South. The Compromise in effect restored the old political order in the South, pushing African-Americans out of power in the government. Soon after the compromise, African-Americans were barred from voting by poll taxes and grandfather clauses.

The compromise of 1877
Samuel Tilden ,former New York Governor, was the Democratic Party's opposition to Hayes.
Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes were key figures in the contentious U.S. presidential election of 1876. Tilden, the Democratic candidate, won the popular vote but lost the presidency to Hayes, the Republican candidate, after a controversial electoral dispute. The election was marked by allegations of voter fraud and led to the Compromise of 1877, which resolved the impasse by withdrawing federal troops from the South, effectively ending Reconstruction. Hayes's presidency is often noted for its attempts at civil service reform and reconciliation after the Civil War.
The compromise of 1877 settled this presidential election dispute. The compromise agreed to Rutherford Hayes' election as the next President of the United States if he agreed to end Reconstruction in the South. After the 1876 election, there were disputes regarding the credentials of the electors in four states. A special committee was appointed to settle the question. Following party lines, the committee choose the electors favorable to Hayes and he won by one vote. The compromise was worked out to appease the supporters of Tilden, the other candidate.
