Old Ben. Wade ON President
Hayes Southern Policy.

New YORK, April 22.-The Times
furnishes tht following letter written
by Ex-senator b, nj. F. Wade, of
Ohio, in condemnation Of President
Hayes, Southern policy, aud which is
now published for the first time:
JEFFERSON, o., April 10.
Mr. q. II. Painter, Washington
Your letter of the 5th was duly re-
,eiyed. You ask whether 1 remember
what said in favor of President Hayes
in my endeavor to procure his nomina-
lion at the Cincinnati Convention.
do remember it after what has since
transpired with an Indignation and a
bitterness of soul that 1 never felt be-
fore. You know with what untiring
zeal worked for the emancipation OF
.he slaves of the South, and to procure
justice for them before and during the
time vas in Congress, and I supposed
that Gov. Hayes was in full accord
with me on this subject, but 1 have
been deceived, betrayed and even hu.
inflated by the course he has taken to
q degree that / haveo't language to
express. During the first months ol
nis administration, We watched him
closeted with two of the worst and
most malignant enemies of the coloreo
race, that can be found in all that slave
cursed region, and consulting will
those malefactofs how best hs can pu
these colored people under the iroI
heel of their most bitter enemies, hne
reduce them TO coHditioB Infinitely
worse than before they were made free
I feel that to have emancipsted then
and then leave them unprotected
would be crime rs infamous as u
have reduced them 10 slavery wheI
tthey We're free, aad for sMr. Hayes q
do this to the men who had at the haz
ard of their lives given him the vote
without which he never could hay'
had the power to do this great injustice
leaves no doubt that he meditates tn
destruction of the party that electes
him. A contemplation of all this oil
me with amazement and inexpressibl
Indignation. My only consolation il
. history informs me that better me-
than ever. pretended to be have il
like manner been deceived. Som
nave attempted TO excuse him by say
ing that he means well, but hell
: paved with just such good intention:
ea Truly yours,

The GallOWs,

= Cherries M. Sterling, the Youngstown
murderer, was hanged ut 12:40 O'Clock
on Saturday, at Youngstown, Ohio.
A special to the Cleveland Herald gives
the following particulars of the execu,
tion. At 10 o'clock this morning, E..
[. Nicholson, pastor Of the Baptist
church, called on Sterling. They had
d long talk; in which the prisoner still
claimed himself as innocent. He said
that his vindications must be at high
er tribunal. He expressed no prefer
ence in regard to religious faith, but
trusted in the future. The last hour Oi
the prisoner was spent in conversation
and prayer with his minister. The
crowd in the half was surging for adj
mittance 10 the inclosure, but until q
few minutes before noon none were ad-
mitted. The anxiety of the movement
was extreme. Sterling made a request
to be up on the top Of The Jail, " here he.
could once before death see out on the.
world. His request was granted. A
strong guard led him up at 12:15. AT
ter he Came down be was once more
led into his cell, where the edeath war
ant " as read to him, and after Q few
minutes he was led to the scaf7old.
Just prior to his coming out the crowd
of thicketed visitors was led into the
enclosure, and everything placed in
readiness and at 1890 Sterling was led
to the scaffold and after prayer was
handcuffed, placed on the closed trap
and was asked if he had anything to
say. He made few remarksi1sisting
that he was innocent and bid his Attor-
ney, who WAS greatly affected, fare-
well, also asked for the brother of the
murdered girl and shook hands with
him. At exactly 12;45 the trap Was
sprung. The moose slipped under hi~
chin and failed to break his neck.
After few moments of silence he be-
gan to clap his hands and kick his feet
and moan most pitifully. The sight
was lorrid one and sickening in the
extreme. For at least two minutes
these motions and groans were kept up
and it was thirteeh- minutes before he
was pronounced dead. While this
scene of horror was transI iring on the
scaffold his Attorney was being carried
into the Jail where he fell upon q bed
aud wept in most pite9us manner. 1t
took three me to control hiiE, and
every few seconds he exclaimed, "He
Is deadw HE Is dead :" The body
was left hanging until 1:30, when it
was taken down and will be buried in
the potters field this evening.

THE Chicago Journal says: "The
dissatisfaction with President Hayes.
30 far as il exists at all, can be obviated
in one way, and in only one. That is
by coupling with concessions to the
home rule hobby of the Southern
whites resolute and tireless purpose
TO enforce the act of Congress passed in
the interest of the blacks Of the South
who are denied the frec exercise OF
their equal civil rights. When that
purpose has been carried out, as W.
fully believe it will be, the Republi
cans of the North will be unit il
praise OF Hayesism."
