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.

EX-PRESIDENT DAVIS.
The Lee Association of Mobile, recent
ly made an excursion to New Orleans.
The train halted at a little village on the

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.

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:

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.

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. Although the
ohief olty of tbe United States wheneo I
sm writing to you is far from your islands,
being near the coast of tho Atlantia
Ocean, our territory extends to the shores
of the other oooan in which your islands
lie, at not much grouter distance from
San Francisco than is the city of Wash
ington, wbioh is oar capital. Being, than,
muoh nearer to ns than to any European
nation, on thia account alone it would bo
natural, wore there nu other reasons, that
we ahould taka a lively interest iu your
welfare and in all that concerns you.
“The staff, the fiy-flipand tbe saored
mat, which you intrusted to Col. Stoiu
berger, were safely delivered by him, and
were received by me in tire spirit with
wbioh tbey were offored. You may bo as
sured that I am duly sensible of tbe sig
nificance of these gifts.
“Colonel Steinberger’s course during
hia flrat mission has so far met my appro-
val, and he Rooms to have made himself
ao acceptable to you, that I have authori
zed him again to viBit you for the purpose
of informing me of the prugiess of your
affairs since ho loft yon. I pray you,
therefore, to receive him kindly and to
oontinue to him tho good will whioh you
showed on tbo former occasion.

WHAT AN AMtBIOAN HUMOBIST SAW IN
CHEYENNE.
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.

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.
