Special Ie Enquirer-Sun.] London, Ms; 2.—The Telegraph in a leading article, points to the omission from the declaration of neutrality, issued by the British Gorernment on Monday, of a porfferaph which appeared in the de claration issued at the outbreak of the Franoo-German war. The declaration then published contained the following: “We ore firmly purposed end determined to abstain from taking any part direetly or indirectly in the war now unhappily existing between these aorereigns, and maintain peaceful and friendly inter course* with each of them.” The Telegraph uys: This omission can hardly be occidental, nor under the ex ceptional dreumstances of the preemit wsr ooold the Gorernment be expeeted to bind the oountry to an unconditionally pacific coats*.

Specie! lo Enqutrer.Sun.] Cleveland, May 2.—The Leader to morrow morning will oontain the follow ing letter from Hon. B. F. Wade : Jeffebson, April 80, 1877. To the Editor of the Leader:—I no ticed in your paper of to-day, two artiolea relating to myself, copied from the New York Tribune. The first purpoting to oome from Mr. Word Lemon,of Washing, ton, formerly Marshal of the Distriot, stating in subatsna* that some time du ring Mr. Lincoln’s administration, a con spiracy was formed by the Bepublioan* in Congress opposed to his administration depose him from the Presidency and pnt either Mr. Fremont or myself in bis plaoe os dictator ; that a written memo randum of the oompaot was made at the time ; that a copy of it was in possession Mr. Chase, and by him shown to Mr. Lincoln. Now I desire to brand the abore state ment in all its parts os a willful and ma lignant falsehood, and if Mr. Ward Lemon ever made enoh statement, os is alleged to any one, I pronounce him a liar. I saw the article in the Tribune lost week, and had it related only to myself, I should not have condescended to notice so silly a lie, but when I find it ooppied into re spectable journals, and as it implicates many members of that brave old Oongi that carried us triumphantly through the war, most of whom are in their graves, thought suoh a scandal upon them should not go nnoontradioted. The second statement relating to Mr. Painter is os follows: Mr. Wade is ored. ited with saying in explanation of bis fa mous letter, that it was confidential, and was made public by a person totally de praved and utterly destitute of honor. This is also utterly false. Although ■the letter was private, it found its way to to the pnblio in a manner whioh entirely exouipates Mr. Painter from all blame, nor do I blame him for its publication,osit contained only the sentiments whioh I stand by now. Ido not regret its pnblio* tion,and in ail the hostile oritloisms in the papers and otherwise wbioh it has called forth, no one has os yet denied that it contained the exact truth. In vindica tion of Mr. Painter, I will eay that I hare, known him for many years, and he is as honorable a man as I hare erer been ac quainted with. Bespeotfally yours, eto., B. F. Wade. Henator Christlaaep M Senator Mill Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Auousta, May 2.—The Chronicle and Conetitutionaliet will publish to-morrow letter from Senator Christianoy, of Miohigan, to Senator Hill, congratulating the latter upon, end warmly commanding his recent letter, and saying that to secure oomplete reconciliation, restoration of oonfidenoe and fraternal feeling, men can afford to forget party names. Obriat- ianoy says he long ago deolared that upon any measures bearing upon the restore tion of harmony and kindly relations be tween the North and South, he should disregard party ties and interests. Lake Ekora Road.

The Lee Association of Mobile, recent ly made an excursion to New Orleans. The train halted at a little village on the Mobile and New Orleans Bailroad, where Hon. Jefferson Deris is at present sojourn ing, and the entire party marched up to his house and paid their respects to him. Maj. W. T. Wslthal and Maj. Hen ry St. Paul, both mod* short speeches, ex pressive of the feelings of the assembly. Mr. Davis in response said: Mr. Chairman and Members of the Lee Association, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am deeply sensible of the honor you have conferred upon me by this visit, and iratefully reoognize the kindness whioh las prompted me complimentary expres sion of your orator. Not the lees so be cause I feel that they very for exceed any merits whioh the unprejudiced would asoribe to me. Believe me, I am the more proud of this, as it is the manifestation of a more rare virtue in the people I bare served to the best of my ability. Nerer before in the history of man has there been, so far as I know, an instanoe in which a fallen ohief was followed with a more affeotion- ate devotion than his associates bad felt towards him in the days of his power. For people oapable of suoh magnanimity, hi* would indeed be a tame spirit who did not feel it to be a glory to have suffered. You have passed through a terrible or deal of depravity, of wrong, and injus tice ; and you have borne it with a forti tude only equalled by the gallantry dis played in your desperate effort to main tain a cause wbioh has been orushed, but not destroyed, for it was the oause of Truth, whioh is eternal; and with all these sod memories clustering around you, you oome not to npbraid me as re sponsible for your disasters, but to shield me in the depths of my adversity with the warm covering of yonr hearts' best affections. Cold indeed would be the nature whioh did not find in this a solsoe for all itB disappointments end a consola tion for its ruined hopes. From the bottom of my heart I thank you. Though the silver lining of the olond be but faintly discernible, yet be not dismayed. But that I need not say to men who never feel any other fear than that of doing wrong. The oause for whioh you struggled was that of Jns- tioe end of Truth. The triumph of these may be postponed, but in the ordering of Providence must oome st lost. Yonr motives must be appreciated sooner or later for you ssorifioes were mode for Constitutional Liberty; and those who died bravely, though they fell vainly, are not to be reokoned as the most unfortunate; for, whether bearing a sabre or a musket, whether on the battle field or upon the vessel's deck, the proper plaoe for man to die is where he dies for man. For the honor of the comrades whose untimely deaths yon mourn, for the res- peot due to the oause you loved, for the pride you feel in your posterity, let not yonr eyes revert oonstantly to the post, but, confronting the present and looking pstrietioaliy on lo the future, let your efforts be made to repair what has been injured and to build again higher and broader on a more solid foundation the temple of Homan Liberty,after the model left you by your fathers. You engaged in no war for sectional aggrandizement, you fought no battles for personal advantage, you were prompted by no malice,and your knightly escutcheon is tarnished by no sordid hate or desire for mean revenge. The war left you stripped of all save honor, and your chiv alry was as incapable of inflioting wrong as it was of submitting to it tamely. The Past demandB then knightly generosity and faithful devotion to the principles you inherited from revolutionary sires, and wbioh yon will best bless mankind by transmitting unchanged to your posterity. Thrice and four times I am thankful for the indications whioh the day brings to us of the revival of the spirit in whioh oar Union was founded, from whioh oar prosperity springs, and upon whioh its perpetuity must surely depend. I bod not expeoted to do more than simply to return my thanks to you. It would be in vain for me to attempt to express the gratitude I feel. My cordial thanks are sill have to give, and they are trnly yours. WRIGHT ON THE RAGGED EDGE. MOVEMENT TO IMPEACH THE BULL-OOZED JUSTICE. Bepsblleaa* to the Beseae—A Poetical Die- esssloa—'The Charleston Election Bill— Legislative Notes—The Sitnstlon st the State Capital Speolal to the Journal of Commerce.] Columbia, April 28.—The Oharleaton delegation who ore here “on expense" did not oooupy their aocustomed seats in the House this morning. Most of them had evidently returned to the bosoms of their oonstitueney, although how they raised the money to get home lam at a loos to conjecture. Their fellow rebels, who still oooupy the stool of repentenoe, were also absent, and the seventy-odd Demo oratio and twenty-five Republican mem bers were left alone to transact the busi ness of the day. There was but one sub ject of any considerable discussion, that of of Associate Justioe Wrigbt, better known here os old “thartbparilla” Wright. And just here let me relate how the distin guished jurist is said to haveaoquired this familiar title. It is related that on one oooasion, while the justice was in a bull dozed condition, and while he was lolling before the bar of Fine's restaurant, the subjeot of great men’s tipple wsb brought up. In the course of the conversation ‘Jntbtice’’ Wright remarked: “Well, you thee, all great men have their preferen- tbes for thome kind of drink. Thome prefer brandy, thome whithkey, thome ram, and thome gin, but ath for me I always tsktb thartbparilla.” To return to the Legislature. The res olution looking to the impeaohment of Wright was introduced by Mr. Minort, of Bichland, one of the reonsant oolored members who was seated on Thursday lost. It is as follows: Resolved by the Route of Repreeenta- Rapablleans Win Nome Indians* Municipal Elections. Indianapolis, May 2. — Bepubiioans eleot their municipal ticket.

On the open market an offioial minimum of two par oent. is practioally current. Attempted Blackmail. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] New Yobk, May 2. —The owners of the steamer Leo make a statement that the two men who told the story about the osrelessly stored barrels of gin, causing the disaster to the vessel, attempted to blaokmail them. They publish the affi davit of tbe Captain and others as to their untruthfulness. THE IMPEACHMENT. Factory Burned at Cincinnati.

A few bales of ootton were destroyed before it could be extingished. London Cords, White Piques, Linen Dress Lawns, Figured Muslins, Viotoria Lawns, and other Goods too numerous to mention, at prioes that will insure soles, at M. Joseph’s. eodtf ^ Many novelties and bargains this week to be displayed at J. 8. Jones’. eodtf tivee of the State of South Carolina, That a oommitte* of five be appointed by the Speaker to enquire into and make fall examination of all matters pertaining to the proper diiaharge of tbe official duties of Hon. J. J. Wright, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of South Carolina, and for said purpose are anthorized and empowered to send for persona and papers, and said committee are further authorized to report by reso lution or otherwise. Mr. Minort moved Us immediate con sideration, and the motion not being op posed the resolution came np for disous- aion. It will be observed that the debate wak oonfined entirely to the oolored Re publican members, the Democrats taking no part whatever. Mr. Hamilton moved to refer it to the Judioiary Committee, but subsequently withdrew bis motion. Mr. Minort then Baid that he woe here with no prejudice whatever. He had buried the past and wanted now only to strive for the good of the State and the elevation of his race. Iu his opiuion the election of Wright to tbe Supreme Bench wsb a fraud on his people. “We have,” said he, “plenty of young mens in the State who has never butt deir heeds against tbe walls of a college, but who know more about legal points than this Judge. He has proven to be a digrace to our raoe, for he has proven to be a drunk ard ’pon de streets of Columbia. I have policemen here who have pioked him up out of tbe drains and gutters when he oould’nt help hisself. I consider suoh a man a disgrao* to any party. I mean what I say, and I hope when this commit tee makes its report there will not be a Bepublioan on this floor who, upon proof of the charges, will not vote to declare his seat vacant.’’ Mr. Hamilton, of Beaufort, deolared himself in favor of the resolution,beoause he was himself a blaok man. “It is well known,” said he, “that the colored peo ple hod to bear the disgrace brought upon them by the conduot of this man, beoause they were responsible for plaeing him in the position. He has damned us forever. I don’t speak as a Democrat or os a Re publican; I speak as a blaok man who has to blush for this man’s disgraceful con - duot, and I shall vote for the resolution as a protection to the oolored raoe. A judge is supposed to have some sense, but wbat judge would pronounoe a man guilty of murder and then set him free, or wbat judge would first sign s dooision declar ing him not guilty and then sign an order for his execution. Yet this is what this Judge does. It’s all nonsenso to talk about it. I hope that every Bepublioan on this floor will vote for thiB resolution." Mr. Tom Miller, the natty little yellow lawyer from Beaufort, offered an amend ment, inserting the name of Judge T. J. Mackey in the resolution. On motion of Mr. Hamilton, this amendment was tabled, and Mr. Miller then took tbe floor for a apeeoh. Tbe tenor of his remarks were direoted to violent abuse of Judge Meokey; but he was effectually aqnelcbed by tbe Speaker, who, upon a paint of order, ruled that Judge Mackey's name not being in tbe resolution a discussion of his official con duct would not be permitted. Mr. Mil ler having been out off from this direo tion, proceeded to announce that be was in favor of the resolution. Hp believed it to bo bis duty to make bad men give plaoe to good men, but he still wanted Judge Mackey impeaohed. Mr. Hamilton expressed th* opinion that the Democratic party oeuld well afford to forgive Judge Msokey whatever wrongs he may have done them, and if Governor Hampton’s policy was oarried out tbe people of the whole State would join them in this for giveness. He had himself always voted for strsightout Democrats for judioial positions. Everybody knew that he would have given bis right arm, if neoes- sary, to seonre the election of Judge Ma her. He was not a party man, and his oolieagues knew that he made the best Demooratio speaob, in a Bepublioan convention in Beaufort, that bad ever been mad* in that seetion. In that speeoh he told his constituents wbat was the truth, that the proper name for the Bepublioan party was “a band of thieves." same path pursued by the lawyer from Beaufort, but like bini, was oalled to or der. He continued that Wright ought not to be removed beoause bo was a col ored man. Mr. Gantt, of Beaufort—If these alie nations are true, can we consistently sus- ain him ? Mr. Bead, of Beaufort—I want to know if you were ever in conversation with Judge Wright, and hear him talk about law points ? Mr. Palmer—He is a competent Judge. I aak if he has done anything wrong, you forgive him? The people, I know, would vote his seat vacant, but they are feverish now. I ask that as be is the only repre sentative of the negro race on the Betioh, not to strike at him. I would rather my self have honest and upright and able gentlemen on the Benoh, but as I said before, the colored people nro feverish aud alarmed at the recent ehauge in the political condition of the State. Let me, in conclusion,remind you of this couplet: “You may sire a Tool n face of brass, Dlsgui** him as you can, He’ll still remain s natural net— -An empty-headed man." This brilliant peroration produced a de cided sensation. A good many members laughed, some looked mad, and others puzzled. The oorps of idling knights of the quill, who occupied the reporter’s ta ble, looked at each other in blank amaze, ment, and then as if all were struok with a brilliant idea, proceeded to “book it.” Tbo representative of the Journal of Commerce is nt a loss to say whether the couplet quoted by Mr. Palmer was intend ed ss s description of Assooiato Justice Wright or not. It would not be oonrto- ous for me to say that it looks very liko a photograph. Ho I have just given Mr. Palmer's language, and will losve tbo readers of tbe Journal of Commerce to figure out this pone aesinorum lor them selves. Mr. Bridges, of Newberry, one of tho oolored members who joined the Oonsti- tutioDsl House daring tbe last sesHiou, announced that he would vote for tho resolution if he oottld believe tbst it was from pure motives,but he oouldn’t believe it. It was, besides, time now to forget the post. If any of the JndgeB did any thing wrong from now out he would take bold of him. But he oouldu’t vote for this resolution oomiug from where it did. THE VOTE. Under a oall for tho previous question, a vote was then taken,and tbe resolutions adopted, ayes 76,nays 13. One Democrat, Mr. Vandiver, of Anderson, voted nny, and 12 Bepubiioans aye, as fallows : Cald well, Morgan, and Boedish, of Orango- bnrg; Gantt, Hamilton, Miller, Bead aud Bobinson, of Beaufort; Greeu and Kin- loch, of Georgetown; Minort, of Bich land; and Wesbury, of Bumter. WICKEDES I .VI ERIC A. Mr. Palmer, of Bichland, followed in a speeob, the tenor of which it was some what difficult to oatch. He was com pelled to say that the colored men in tbe Slate were ainkiog faat enough, and be waa surprised at the gentleman speaking ao of Jndge Wright. He would not at tempt to speak of him, beoanse if juatioe was meted out to every man, there would be found some more obnozions than Wright. Sometimes be thought that “our party” deserved defeat, for Goddle- mighty knows they elected worse men to place than Jndge Wrigbt. He had par ticular reference to Judge Oooke, of th* Eighth Oirouit, end started oat oh th* Grant and Ills Samoan Friends. Grant’s business with the islands of tbe see was characterized by a good deal of absurdity. His message to tbe Senate about Santo Domingo was grotesque in the extreme, hia estimato of the value of the island being beyond expression ex travagant. When he deoided to oreato a kingdom in the Samoan islands, under the rule of his friend, Col. A. B. Stein- berger, be appears to have been terribly in earnest. When Steinbergercame back to Waabington from bis “mission” to the islands in 1873, bearing same gifts to Grant from tbo natives, Grant wroto tho following letter to the chiefs, whioh has reoently come to light in Iho archives of tbe State Department: Ulysses S. Grant, President of the United States of America, to their Highnesses the 'l'aimua and Pule or Principal Chiefs of Samoa : “Gbeat and Good Fbiends : I have re ceived through Colonel A. B Stoiuberger, whom I sent to yonr islands as a special agent of tbe United States, the interesting letter of the 3d of Ootober, 1873, whioh you were pleased to address to me. I am gratified to learn from that communication that peace prevails in yonr country. This is among the greatest blessings vouch safed to Datiuua, and I hope that your en joyment of it may be without interrup tion. Yoa also inform me that the Samoan Government had adopted a flag. This is an interesting event iu yeur history. My prayer is that as it is an emblem of your unity and independence, these may ever remain inviolable exoopt by the general oonsent of your people. “Your oourse generally us reported to me by Colonel Stein borger deserves my oordial approval aud onoouragement, whioh I offer yon. 1 trust that yuu will persevere in well doing.

From the New York baa.] Cheyenne, April 11.—I have seen wiok- ed cities in my time, I have seen spree- ing at the Esler in St, Petersburg, seen fellows “make a night of it" in the Or- pheutu in Berlin, seen the wiokeduess at Ntjni Novgorod during the September fair, aeen the Mabille packed with de pravity when the empire waa at its me ridian, but I never expeoted to see hell itself. I aauutered on the streets of Cheyenne at midnight. Fifty saloons and a dozen hocused gambling houses line the principal street, all thronged and gaily illuminated till the morning sun puts out the lights. What makes Cheyenne the wiokedest city in the world ? I. Cheyenne is tbe metropolis where the rich owners and the buckskin clad drivers of five million dollars’ worth of esttle rendezvous for a weekly spree. II. It is the nearest point where tbe Blaok Hillers can sell their gold dost and uuggeta and then gamble and spree away ihe'prooeeda so aa to go baok to the mines. ' III. It is the point to whioh all tho In dian fighting army offloers oome as a plaoe where they oan spree away a hundred dol lars in a night and make up for lost time on the Big Horn. IV. It is the stopping point for all the swell demi uionde from Ben Francisco,Ht. Louis and Ohioago. In a word, it is the Ameriosn paradise for lioensed drinking, lighting, gambling, eto. Walk with ms into one lioenaed house on the principal street In Cheyenne st 3 o'clock in tbe morning. Tbe honse is a medley. It is the Parisian Varieties on Sixteenth street, John Morrissey’s Sara toga gambling house, the Argyle rooms on Sixth avenue, and the Alhambra, with its fifty waiter girls, in London,all crowd ed into one. The building is perhaps fifty by one hundred and thirty feet, and two Bturiea high. On the ground floor ia a theatre stage, room for three hundred oow boys, soldiers, ranohmen and waiter girls, snd just oat of it are the gambling tables and ban. At the tables every known game is played. Among the deal ers are several French women dressed in silks aud diamonds. Utterly devoid of delicaoy they Bhuffle and deal the osrds snd handle the chips for tho swear ing, drinking crowd whioh throng the ta bles. Ou tbe stage there is a oonstant variety show going on. Bkillfnl variety aotora are employed, snd there the tight rope walkers, the song end dsnee women in tights, tbo low necked belled singer, the clog dsnoer, the negro minstrels, the model artists end the female bathers oome out in s continuous stream from ton et night till morning. On the first floor every drink is twenty- five oents, and about thirty English, French and Ameriosn waiter girls keep the crowd oonstantly drinking. Above this motly erowd of oow-boys, ranohmen, Blaok Hills freighters, miners and sold iers is a row of private boxes filled with rioh ranohmen, officers, tourists, and fel lows who have oome down with gold dust from tbo Blaok Hills. These boxes all communicate with the stage. Twenty or thirty waiter girla supply the boxes with champagne, the prioe of which is five dol lars for pint bottles. All drinks in the boxes are fifty oents. It ia a oommon thing for a rich ranchman, after Belling athons- and cattle, to oome here and spend one thousand dollars on e spree. A Colonel the army, who had been fighting np in the Big Horn conutry, came in the other evening aud spent $1,000, and finally left his watob on the red, and lost that too. The proprietor of this gambling and variety saloon is a very generous man. Everybody likes him, and be ia considered a good oitizan in Cheyenne. Clergymen shake him by the hand, and bankers ohum with him like an old school mate. The profits in the one building are $1,000 per day. I suppoae there are a dozen bouses on one blook where gambling goes on day and night with open doors. Sometimes tbe marshal and policemen take a band. Tbe Judge goes out and “bucks tbe tiger” while tbe jnry are agreeing on a verdict. Yon will see oolonels in tbe army Btanding by private soldiers, snd see oow boys in buckskin dividing the ohips with a Chey enne Indian—all in the moBt enterprising border town in Amerioa and the wiokedest oity in the world. ItlATTIE OULD BCHOOliCKAFT. THE CAUSE OF HEB DEATH. Correspondence of the Index-Appeal.] Richmond, April 24.—Mrs. Mattie Onld Hohooloraft died last evening at 6 o'oloek after sickness since last Wednesday, and unconsciousness niece Batnrday. At 2 o'clock yesterday I was informed she was dead, and I wrote an item in my letter lo that effect, but snbaeqnent information couvinoed mo that tho announcement was premature snd I corrected it. Tho sad event, however, occurred six honrs later, aud a messenger immediately oarne into town from Mr. Schoolcraft's Grove road rosidcnce, in Henrieo connty, and oon- voyed the aad tidings to the numerous friends of husband and wife. Her fath er, brother and sister were present at the doath bed. Tbe little son, left mother less, is likely to live. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Wednesday) morn ing at 11 o'clook. Tho ciroumatanoes of the marriage of Mr. O. J. Schoolcraft and Miss Mattie Ould are fresh in the minds of many per sons. It took plaoe at Balem, Roanoke county, whither tbe oontraeting parties had gone from the springs, and from thero they at once came on to Biohmoud. Here it was discovered that there was somo slight informality in the lioense,and a new lioense waa taken out here and tbe marriage again oelebratod. Both husband and wife have numerous friends and a long and happy marital life was anticipa ted for them. Mr. Sohooloraft is incon solable in his grief, as well be may be, for a more lovable woman, or one with great er wit or humor, or tenderer heart, never lived.
