(From.the New York WorldJ
1t seems that the coming woman has
already got to Richmond, and she is making
it pretty hot for the efiete man. She is the
postmistress OF that city, which her name
It Is Miss Van Lew, and the rustic of her
petticoats about the corridors OF the Covers
nens buildings Is like the trailing OF the
garments Of the west wind, and the flourish
OF her parasol is as the stroke Of Saladin's
scimitar. The mailing clerks tremble before
her like the Assyrian courtiers before SEMI
ramis She saith to & letter carrier come, and
hecometh; to the money-ordcr clerk so, and
he goeth. The deputy postmaster would
have flung his swallow-tailed coat under her
feet for carpeting, in emulation OF the devo-
ton of Raleigh to Elizabeth; but, alas she
suspected him of initiating the conspiracy
of Essex and aiming at her dethronement.
Wherefore, like the Virgin Queen, she de-
capitated her favorite for his plots against
her sovereignty. The name OF this deputy
was JefTards, an unusually good specimen
OF the carpet-bag species OF American citi-
zen and the Jealous viceroy Of Queen Van
Lew, managing the affairs OF the post-oftice
with fair ability, enjoying the confidence OF
his mistress, and winning the respect OF the
community.
Miss Van Lew, like Helen McGregor,
with her foot upon her native heath, so to
speak, hurls defiance at her foes, and accepts
right royalty the homage OF her subordI-
mates. There is something in the ability which
she has displayed in the intrigue for her
reappointment, the majesty Of her deport-
ment, the unllinching cruelty with which
she has dealt punishment upon the con-
spirators, to strike terror into the heart OF
the average man. Is it possible that the
sphere of public office is to be taken from
him? Is the Meme 1elcet OF all male citizens
not of African descent written upon the
walls OF the Richmond post-oftice?

THE GRAIN SpECUI.ATIoN.-The specula-
ton in corn, which has assumed large pro-
portions, came to sudden collapse, at least
for the moment. in the leading markets on
the seaboard and in the West. The cause
of the break was decline ut Liverpool, that
market having before been rather under
ours. The result was almost panic On the
Baltimore 'Change. June corn opened at
714c. against 75c. on the day previous, and
closed at 6Ssc. against 734c.-a decline OF
5tc. per bushel. The only business in May
corn was late in the day at 6S{ to GSc.-a de-
cline OF Al to 44c. At New York and Chi
cago wheat experienced fall even to a
greater extent, but in this market, owing to
the small supply and the constant demand
from millers, there is less variation in prices
and no excitement. Flour maintains the
advanced prices with tirmness.-Baltimore

HON. BEN. WADE DENIES THE DICTATORSHIP
s.as CONSPIRACY.
CLEVELAND, May 1.-The Leader to-mor-
row morning will contain the following let
ter from Hon. B. F. Wade: ~
Jefferson, April. 3O.-Io the Editor Of the
Leader: notice in your paper OF to-day
two articles relating to myself copied from
the New York Tribune. The first purports
to come from MIR. Ward Lamon, OF WASH
.ington, formerly marshal Of the District,
stating in substance that some time during
Mr.. Lincoln's administration conspiracy
was formed by the Republicans in Congress
opposed to his Administration to depose
him from the presidency and put either
Mr.. Fremont or myself in his place as die
tator; that o written memorandum OF the
compact was made ct the time; that copy
Of it was in possession OF Mr. Chase,
and by him shown to Mr.. Lincoln. Now,
I desire to brand the above statement in all
parts as q wilful and malignant falsehood,
and il Mr.. Ward Lamon. ever made such 4
statement as Is alleged to any one, pro-
nounce him liar. saw the article in the
Tribune last week, and had it related only
to myself I should not have condescended
to notice so silly lie; but when I find it
copied into respectable Journals, and as it
duplicates many members OF that brave old
Congress that carried us triumphantly
through the war, most of whom are in their
graves, I thought such scandal upon them
should not go uncontradicted.
The second statement, relating 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 person totally depraved and
utterly destitute Of honor. This. also, is
utterly false. Although the letter was pri-
yate it found its way to the public ia
manner which entirely exculpates Mr..
Painter from all blame; nor do | blame
him for its publication, as it contained
only the sentiments which 1 stand by
now. do not regret, its publication,
and in all the hostile criticisms in the
papers and otherwise which it has
called forth no one has as yet denied that
it contained the exact truth. In yindica-
ton OF Mr.. Painter viii say that i have
known hun for many years, and he Is as hon.
orable man us have ever been acquainted
with. Respectfully, yours, &c,
