WADE's WRATH.
Amaxed and Indignant at Hayes
Southern Policy.

New York, April 23.-The Times
furnishes the Following letter, writ
ten BY exr Senator BENJAMIN +. Wade.
of Ohio, In condemnation of Presi.
dent Hayes southern nolicv and
which is now published for liz fret
time:
JEFFERsox, o., April 9.-1Er. u.
II. Painter, Washington, d. C.-MY
DEAR STR Your letter Of the 9th
was duly received. You ask wheth-
er I remember what I said In favor
of President Hayes in my endeavor
to procure his nomination 1.-THE Gin
cinnati conventions. / do remember
1t, after what has since transpired,
with indignation and bitterness Of
soul that never felt before. You
know with what untiring zeal la
bored for the emancipation of the
slaves Of the South and to procure
justice for them before and during
the time I was in Congress, and I
supposed Governor Hayes was in
full accord with me on this
subject; but I have been de-
ceived, betrayed, and even humiliat-
ed, by the course he has taken to a
degree that l have not language to
express. During the first month Of
his administration we find him clos
eted with two of the worst and most
malignant 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 bitter enc
mics and reduce them to condition
infinitely worse than before they
were made free. feel that to eman-
cipate these people and then to leave
them unprotected, would be q. crime
as infamous as to have reduced them
to slavery when they were free; and
for Hayes to do this to men who had
at the hazard Of their lives given him
their votes, without which he never
could have had the power to do this
terrible injustice (! Nodoubt he med.
itates the destruction of the party that
elected him. The contemplation OF
all this fills me with amazement and
inexpressible indignation. Ny only
consolation il that history informs
me that better men than I ever pre-
tended to be have, in like manner,
been deceived. Some have attempt
ed to excuse him by saying that he
means well, but hell is paved with
just such good intentions.
Truly yours. B. 4. WADE.

Panic IN Roumanla !.

VIENNA, April 21.-Quite a panic
reigns in Roumania about the Turk
ish invasion. The Roumanian gov
eminent has applied in It's extremity
to the Powers and is becoming more
pressing in its demands to be saved
from the Circrssians and Bashi Ba-
zouks. They have also turned to the
Turkish government demonstrating
against the occupation of Roumania
by Turkish troops. The answer has
not been reassuring, Turkey saying
the passage of Turkish troops to the
Roumanian side would depend upon
Turkish military affairs, but that if
this happens it is in consequence Oft
entry Of Russian troops. The Porte
declines the responsibility for Kou-
mania being turned into the theatre
OF war. Roumania cannot prevent
the passage of Russian armies through
her territory, as she has vainly sought
support of the Powers, but she can
and will vigorously abstain from
armed participation if Turkey does
not cross the Danube and will herself
occupy Kalafat with her own troops
to prevent the Russians getting that
position; but if Turkey persists in
her proposed action Roumania will
be compelled to cast her lot with the
only power capable of aflording her
material protection against such a
terrible calamity. Roumania's posi-
ton is one of critical and imminent
peril.
