Did ruthford b Hayes do any bad things while he was in congress?

Hayes voted for the Tenure of Office Act. The Act was probably unconstitutional, though no case in which it was an issue ever reached the US Sipreme Court before congress repealed the Act in 1887. The Act was an attempt to exert congressional control over the president. If that was a desirable thing, it would probably take an amendment to the Constitution to make it permissible for one branch to have power over another, separate branch of the Federal government (in this case, the Legislative over the Executive). Specifically, the Act said that the President could not remove executive appointees without the "advise and consent" of the legislature, meaning that a president could not fire his own cabinet secretaries unless Congress agreed. When Andrew Johnson, despite this new law, fired Edwin Stanton as Secretary of War, this Act provided the pretext for the impeachment of Johnson. Hayes also voted for the 14th Amendment, which was mostly a good thing, but was a poorly drafted piece of legislation, and provided "birthright citizenship", which was already a discredited 18th century concept at the time, to anyone born in the US. What the framers of this amendment were trying to do was to make it plain that the freed slaves were citizens of the US. Instead of just saying that, they gave us Constitutional authority that makes, say as an example, the child of a German woman changing planes in New York to travel on to Canada, who goes into labor and delivers her child in New York, a US citizen, even though the parents have never been to the US before and never return after. Or, a woman in labor who crosses the Rio Grande illegally and lies down and gives birth on the north bank has just produced an American citizen, though her presence in the country is illegal. One of the more bizarre episodes of Hayes' life was when he shot his own mother, allegedly by accident. She was wounded in the arm. In the 1876 election this was said by his opponents to have been done either while drunk, or in a fit of temporary insanity. As one newspaperman said "Missed his own fat mother from six feet away. That's no President!".

Why was Rutherford B Hayes's quote Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty famous?

The entire quote from Hayes is:

"Abolish plutocracy if you would abolish poverty. As millionaires increase, pauperism grows. The more millionaires, the more paupers."

I am not sure why it has been remembered, but it is to the point and said by a famous person. It seems applicable today as well as 125 years ago when it was said. It is somewhat ironic since Hayes was elected in large part by plutocrats and was no pauper himself. Perhaps the irony appeals to people who quote it today.

What was Rutherford B. Hayes view on slavery?

What compromise removed union troops from the south ending reconstruction?

It is called the Compromise of 1877.

The compromise essentially stated that Southern Democrats would acknowledge Hayes as president, but only on the understanding that Republicans would meet certain demands. The following elements are generally said to be the points of the compromise:

(1) The removal of all federal troops from the former Confederate States. (Troops remained in only Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida, but the Compromise finalized the process.)

(2) The appointment of at least one Southern Democrat to Hayes's cabinet. (David M. Key of Tennessee became Postmaster General.)

(3) The construction of another transcontinental railroad using the Texas and Pacific in the South (this had been part of the "Scott Plan," proposed by Thomas A. Scott, which initiated the process that led to the final compromise)

(4) Legislation to help industrialize the South and get them back on their feet after the terrible loss during the Civil War.

In exchange, Democrats would peacefully accept Hayes's presidency.

Points 1 and 2 were realized; points 3 and 4 were never even attempted.
