A correspondent Of the N. Y. Herald,
writing from Lancaster, Pa, on June
3oth, gives a report of q lengthy con-
vsrsation with Thsddsus, from which
we quote:
JEALOUSY OF WADE THE DESTRUCTION TO
IMPEACHMENT.
Qusstion-Yop think, then, that a
resolution of impeachment could not
now be carried?
Mr.. Stevens-I think not. II would
be defeated on account of jealousy on
the part Of the opponents Of Senator
Wade. The contest between Wade and
Fessenden for the Presidency Of the
Senate was a very bitter one, and per-
sonal feelings and motives willinterfere
to prevent Wade from occupying the
Presidential chair, even for q single day.
After Wsde's election, Blame, Of Maine,
said on the floor Of the House, "This
Congress will never vote impeachment.
We don't want any Of Ben. Wade's
'Shellywaggers' around the White
House." 1t is this sentiment that will
defeat impeachment. Every little tricky
politician who wants this man for a
postmaster or that man for constable,
and does not think Ben. Wade will give
him what he wants, will oppose it.
GREELY's DIsH-wATER IN NEW YORK.
Question-What dc. you think, sir, Of
the condition Of the Republican party in
New York State2
Mr.. Stevens-Ithink you will be killed
by Conservatism in New York. Your
Republicans are what the Indian would
call "mighty uncertain" They have
no boldness or settled principle. Your
last years platform was one Of the most
absurd and cowardly that could be
adopted in a country running rapidly
to Radicalism. Greeley has generally
spit upon such platforms; but | suppose
he will be for a still more diluted one
next year. Your representatives are
not reliable. I look upon LafHin as an
entirely d%emoralized man. Most Of the
others are no better than he. Conkling
has hitherto been true, and | hope he
will continue SO in his new position. l
believe New York will be lost this year
by want Of earnestness in the cause,
and by the dish-water which has been
thrown around by Greeley and Gerritt
Smith.
CORRUPTION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Question.-Is the Republican party
well united in Pennsylvania?
Mr.. Stevens. / fear zoe shall lose
Pennsyipdnid IN this neat election. l do
not think we have earnestness enough
in the State to unite and draw out the
Republican strength, while the Reppbli-
a portion Of the Legislature has been
so openly, VIGOROUSLY and shamefully
corrupt, that all the honest people in
the State are disheartened and disguised.
Question. You do not suppose you
can beat New York in corruption, do
you?
Mr.. Stevens. | think we could. CAM
eron had his men ,cih their hands full OF
greenbaeks rorking in the Legislature. He
had not fourteen votes in his favor at
the close Of the election, but soon after
he had forty. One man now claims fifty
thousand dollars for his services, and
they refuse to pay him. This corruption
will certainly beat US here next election,
unless We draw out the Republican
strength by getting up a furore and ex-
citement on impeachment. Geary, too,
hurts us very much. he Is an unhappy
| failure, and his nomination was an I'M
| fortunate thing for the party.
