Characteristic Letter From Ex
Senator Wade.


NEW YORK, April 22.-The Times
furnishes the following letter, writ
ten by ex-senator Benjamin F. Wade,
of Ohio, in condemnation of Presi-
dent Hayes Southern policy, and
which is now published for the first
time:
JEFFERSON, o, April 9.
'Mr. W. H. Painter, Washington
D. c.:
My DEAR SIR-Your letter of the
9Th was duly received. You ask
whether remember what said in
favor Of President Hayes in my en-
deavor to procure his nomination at
the Cincinnati Convention. I do re-
member 1t, after q0hat has since trans
pired, aUith Indignation, and q bitter
ness Of soul that / geUer 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 during
the time / was in Congress, and l
supposed Gov. Hayes was in full ac-
cord with me on this subject. But
haze been deceiUed, betrayed and eyen
hatneiEiGted by the coure he has taken,
to a degree that / have not language
to express. During the first month
of his administration we find him
closeted with two of the most lnalig-
nant enemies of the colored race
that can be found in all that slave
cursed region, and there consulting
with those malefactors how best he
can put these colored people under
! the iron heel of their most litter
enemies, and reduce them to q con-
dition infinitely worse than before
they were made free. 1 feel that
to have emancipated these people,
and then to leave them unprotected,
to be q crime as infamous as to have
reduced them to slavery when they
were free; and for Hayes to do this
20 men who had, at the hazard Of
their lives, given him the votes
without which he never could have
had the power to do this terrible in
Justice No doubt he meditates
the destruction of the party that
elected him. II contemplation of alt
this fills me q0ith Gnedzenaent and iRer-
pressible Indignation. My only con-
ISOLATION is. that history informs me
that better men than ever pretend
ed to be. have, in like manner, been
deceived. Some have attempted to
excuse him by saying that he means
well, BUT HELL IS PAVED WITH JUST
SUCII GOOD INTENTIONS
Truly yours, B. F. WADE

MY MOTHER.

My mothers voice How often creeps
Its cadence on my lonely hours,
Like healing on the wings of sleep,
n Or like dew on the unconscious flowers
i might forget her melting prayer,
While 'wildering pleasures madly fly;
But in the still unbroken air.
Her gentle tones come stealing by;
And years of sin and manhood flee,
And leave me at my mothers knee
have been out at eventide,
Beneath moonlit sky of Spring,
When earth was garnished like a bride,
And night had on her silver wing;
When bursting buds and dewy grass,
And waters leaping to the light;
And all that makes the pulses pass
With wilder fleetnesS, thrOnged the
When all was beauty, then have | might;
With friends on whom my love is flung
Like myrrh on winds of Araby, Thung.
Gazed on where Evenings lamp is
And when the beauteous spirit there
Flung. over all its golden chain,
My mothers voice came on the air,
Like the light dropping of the rain;
And resting on some silver star
The spirit of a Bonded knee,
I've poured deep and fervent prayer
That our eternity might be
To rise in Heaven, like stars by night,
And tread living path of light

Death.

1t is the thought of death that is
terrible, not death. Death is gentle,
peaceful, painless instead OF bring
ing suffering. it brings an end OF
suffering. 1t is misery's cure. Where
death is, agony is not. The pro-
cesses OF death are all friendly. The
near aspect of death is gracious.
There is picture some where of a
fearful face, livid and CHASTITY, which
the beholder gazes on with horror
and would turn away from but for
the hideous fascination that not on
ly rivits his attention. bnt draws
him closer to it. On approaching
the picture the hideousness disap-
pears, and when directly confronted
it is no longer seen; the face is the
face OF an angel. 1t is picture Of
death, and the object of the artist
was to impress the idea that terror
Of death is an apprehension. Theo-
dore Parker, whose observation of
death was very large, has said he
never saw a person, of any belief,
condition. or experience, unwilling
To die when the time came. Death
is an ordinance OF nature. is direct
ed by heneficept laws TO benefcent
ends. What must be is made wei
come.
