The Assault upon senator Wade.

II appears that the huge "man in grey, I"
who assaulted Senator WADE in his own room
Wednesday noon of last week, went imme-
diately afterwards to the quarters Of Senator
WILSON and requested that gentleman to give
him (the Imam in grey'D letter Of recon-
mendation to the Secretary of the Navy, re-
marking at the same time: "I have just been
to SEQ Senator WADE, and he treated me like
HI" This shows that the reported attempt
to assassinate Senator WADE was all bosh.
We learn that Senator WADE was as much
surprised as any of his friends to see a
double-lsaded statement in Saturday morn
ing print that an attempt had been made to
"assassinate" him. He regretted that the
statement did not contain the main fact that
he kicked his assailant into the street in.
