A spicy Letter From Ben. wade.

CLEVELAND, May 2.-The Leader 10.
morrow will contain the following letter
from the Hon. B. +. Wade:
JEFEEEsoS, April 80, 1877.
To Ae Editor Of he Leader.
Inotice in your paper Of to-day, two
articles relating TO myself, copied from
the New York Tribune. The first pur.
port 10 como from Mr.. Ward Lamon, OF
Washington, formerly Marshal Of the
District, stating in substance that some.
time during Mr.. Lincolns administra-
ton 4 conspiracy was formed BY the Re-
publicans in Congress, opposed to his
administration, to depose him from the
Presidency, and put either Fremont or
myself in his place as Dictator; that
memorandum Of the compact was made
at the time that; copy OF it was in the
hands Of Mr.. Chase, and by him shown
10 Mr.. Lincoln. Now, desire 10 brand
the above statement in all its parts as a
wilful and malignant falsehood, and II
Mr.. Ward IIamon ever made such 4 state.
ment, a. alleged, to any one, / pronounce
him liar. | saw the article in the
Tribune, and had Il related to myself alone
| should not have Copdescepded TO notice
SO silly lie; but when tihd II copied in.
10 respectable journals, and as il impli-
Gates many members Of that brave old
Congress that carried the United States
thumphantly through the war, most OF
whom are dead; | thought such scandal
upon them should not 60 uncontradicted'
The second statement in relation to
Mr., Painter is as follows:
Mr.. Wade is credited with saying in
explanation OF his famous letter that it
was confidential, and was made public by
a person depraved aud utterly destitute
Of honor
This is also untrue utterly false.
Although the letter was private, 1t found
its way to the public in manner which
entirely exculpales Mr.. Painter from
blame, nor do I blame him for Its publ.
cation. As II contained only sentiments
which stand by now, I don't regret its
publication, and in all the criticisms in
the papers and otherwise which it has
called forth none have as vet denied that
it contained the exact. truth. R.F
In yindication OF Mr.. Painter, | will
say that,l have known him many years,
and he is as honorable n man as ever
was acquainted with.
Respectfully yours, etc,
d. f. WADE.

lis not unlikely that the call Tor an
extra session Of copgreas, to convene on
the 4th Of June, VIII bs Issued TO day on
tomorrow. In view Of the near ap.
Proach Of this important event,
it is announced in a special dis.
patch from Washington TO the Cincinnati
Gazette Of yesterday, that the President
mo longer contemplates the election Of a
Republican Speaker" He has expressed
himself to the effect that whatever legis-
latiOn might be needed to enforce
his policy would bs better received
after the Democratic organization Of the
House than before it. But, nowithstand.
ing the probabilities that the Democrats
will organize the House, the President is
daily receiving assurance from Demo.
cratic sources oi their hearty support.
Within a lew days he has received
great number Of letters, and Of personal
visits from persons in several States, who
say that they have hitherto voted with
the Democratic party, but they now pre-.
fer to act with the Republican party, az
the President understands .Republican-
ism. The Pfesidsnt'+ advieea IRON the
South also are very positive that, al.
though there may not be an immediate
breakup Of party lines under The control
OF the Democratic party there, the large
number OF those who formerly voted
with it is becoming weakened. II the
result il no! seen before, the President is
confident that il will be witnessed in 1880
in the election Of President upon \
platform which will embody the prin.
eiples OF Republlcanism which the present
administration represents.
Meanwhile" says the dispatch, the
opposition OF Republicans to Hayes pol.
icy is much less pronounced than it was.
Two OF thryf gentlemen have arrived
within day or two, known to have per-
sonal relations with the Republicans who
have been most pronounced in opposition
to the President. These gentlemen say
that while they shalt not hesitate TO
place on record their opinion that the
President has made a great mistake, and
that they can not spproa bis course in

do not intend to contribute ANYTHING to
