BEN WADES LETTER.
The President Unsparingly De.
nOuMced.

New YORK, April 22.-The Times tomorrow
will publish the much-talked of letter written
by ex-senator BENZ. f. Wade of Ohio to gen.
tleman in Washington, in condemnation Of
President Hayes Southern policy, as follows
JEFFERSON. Ohio, April 9.
To U. Fl. Painter, Washington, d. c.:
My Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 9Th was duly
received. You ask whether I remember what
I said in favor of President Hayes in my en-
deavor to to procure his nomination at the Gin
cinnati Convention. I do remember it after
what has since transpired with Indignation and
bitterness of soul that I never felt before.
You know with what untiring zeal labored
for the emancipation of the slaves of the South
and to procure justice for them before and dur
ing the time was in Congress, and supposed
President Hayes was in full accord with me on
this subject, but have been deceived, betrayed
and even Inundated by the course he has taken
to degree that have not the language to ex-
press.
During the first month of his administration
we lind him closeted with two of the worst and
most malignant enemies of the colored race
that can be found in all that slave-cursed region
and consulting with those malefactors how best
he can put these colored people under the iron
heel of their most bitter enemies and reduce
them to a condition infinitely worse than before
they were made free. l feel that to have
emancipated these people and then to leave
them unprotected would be crime as infamous
as 10 nave reduced Lnem 10 slavery Wnen they
were free, and for Hayes to do this to the men
that had at the hazard of their lives given him
the votes without which he never could have
had the power to do this terrible injustice, in
dicates no doubt he meditates the destruction
of the pal ty that elected him. A contempla-
ton of this fills me with amazement and mex
pressible indignation. My only consolation is
that history informs me that better men than
than L ever pretended to be have in like
manner been deceived.
Some have attempted to excuse him by say
ing that he "means welr', but hell is paved
with such good intentions.
Truly yours, B. B. WADE.

The resolution, after setting forth that there

ity of the final settlement of the
Presidential question which resulted in the
Inauguration of Hayes, goes on to saw that it

NEW YORK, April 21.-A Washington des-
patch to the Herald discredIts all the reported
confessions of Tweed, and the printed state
ments of the manner of his escape, which doc
uments in the State Department are said to
prove at least unreliable. The report is said to
prevail on the part of government officials that
Tweed is still trying to shield bis old pals under
the spurious plea of an alleged confession, and
there is an increasing suspicion that his secrets
are too important and their revelation would
compromise too many persons to allow of his
being pressed to the wall, SO that he will be al
lowed to make partial confession to attack in
nocent or influential men and get off without
any effectual or thorough revelation.
The Tribune says Mr.. Tilden retains the
most startling points of ring history, and brings
them to bear for political or personal objects.
1t instances the case of the clerk who refused
to sign Comptroller Green's salary warrant
Mr.. Tilden published facts duplicating that
clerk in the ring matters, and the next day the
clerk fled.
Forty original checks of Tweed's, which were
paid to Sweeney, House, Smith and Hugh Hast
ings, are stated to be in the hands of the man
who wrote Tweed's confession.
