CA STAxturam, Wy. T., April Et, ISM I have read with a great deal of pleasure your " Anecdotes of Public Men," published in the Freak and Chronicle, and I hope you will print them in a collected form, for I t hin k they would make an 'admirable book. Si& matter as they contain gives us more insight into the character, hab its, and even ability of the men of whom they treat than can be gather ed from all their public writings and speeches. There is one public man of whoin you have - written very little, but of whom there are very'many anecdotes well wortht, rehiting. This man was for years our mutual friend; and, as yon know, my personal relations with him qualify me - to speak authorita tively of Ins public and private life— both of which were blameless. It is needless to say I refer to the great Ohio Senator, Hon. Benjamin P. Wade. Will you permit me; then, my friend, to add a little something to your " Anecdotes " about our old friend Wade, of whom some very good things may be said, and whose public life extended over such a long term of years, and through the moat exciting events Qf our national histo ry ? Ben Wade is an older man than most people suppose, he having been born at Feeding Hills, pariah of West Springfield, Massachusetts, Oc tober 27, 1800. In 1818, when 18 years of age, he chopped cord wood at Ashtabula, Ohio, for fifty cents peicurd. He had walked on foot from New York to this place, and was on his way to Detroit and Chica go, where he 13roposed to settle. Winter overtook him at Ashtabula, and to earn his board he bat a cab in, and, as before stated chopped wood. It was his intention to cross the lake by boat early - in the spring to Detroit, and then finish the jour ney to Chicago on foot. His brother. who lived *at Ashflbula, persuaded Wade to give up going further West, and in 1821-'22 he taught school in winter, and grubbed during the sum mer • months.

He tad not been long in his seat until he ' wit nessed one of the scenes so common in the Senate in these days, A Southern fire-eater made an attack on ,a Northern &mbar, and Wade re. !mired and disgusted at the crinfong and cowardly way in which ths Northern man tore the taints and insults of the hot-headed South. error. As no alhtsion, was nuidei to himself or State, Mr. Wade at but•when the Senate adjourned he said openly that if ever a ,Southern Senator made such an attack on him or his State, while he sat on that floor, he would brand him as a liar. This coming to . the:fen of the South ern men, a Senator took early occa sion to pointedly speak tot e . Ohio and her people as negro . thieves. • In stantly Mr. Wade sprang to his feet, and called the Senator a liar. The Southepa members were thunder struck and • gathered around their champion, while the" Northern men grouped about Mr. Wade. A feeler was putout from the Southern side looking to retraction, but Mr. Wade savace Iy demanded. an. vol. ! , tot. the insult offered himseU an. his State. The' matter thus elated, and' a duel seemed certain. The next day a Southern gentleman•called on ,the Senator and asked him if he ac lmowledged the code. . " I am," replied Wad), Wash ington in a double *way : I repre sent the State of Ohio and I repe llent Ben Wade. As a Senator lam opposed to duelling,: as Ben Wade I rewgnao the code." "My friend feels narioved," said the gentleman, "at what you said in the Senate yesterday, and • will ask an apology or satisfaction." " I was someihaA emkamissed," continued Senator Wade,: "by my position yesterday, is I have some respect for the Chamber, but now I am free to speak my mind, and I take this opportunity to . say to you what I then thought, and you will please repeat It to your friend, that be is d foul-mouthed old blackguard." " Surely, Mr. Wade," said the as tonished man, " you do not,wish me to convey such a message as that." "Most undoubtedly . I do," replied Wade, " and I can tell yon further for your own benefit : this .friend of yours will never notice it. I'Will not be asked by him for either retraction, explanation or a fight." The gentleman immediately rose, took his hat, and left the room. Next morning, Mr. Wade amain to the Senate, and proceeding to his seat deliberately drew from under his coat two large navy pistols, and unlocking tbo lid of -his desk .laid them inside. The Southern men looked on in silence, while the North ern members enjoyed to the fullest extent the fire-eaters' surorizie at the warlike proceedings of the plucky Ohio Senator. As Wade had pre dieted, no notice was taken of the af fair of the day before; he was not challenged or asked to retract, but ever afterwards treated with the ut , most politeness and consideration by the very Senator who had so insult ingly attacked him. There was at this time in the Sen ate a man named Charles G. -Ather ton, from- New Hampshire, who be came generally known to the coun try as " Gag Atherton," from his in troduction of a resolution to lay all anti-slavery petitions on the table. Ho was emphatically a Northern man with Southern principl es, . and Wade despised him accordingly. , One day Wade, who had become _person ally very popular with the Southern men, was conversing with .ex-gover nor Morehead, of Kentucky; who was then on a visit to - Washington, when Atherton came up and at once began an attack on Wade in regard; to the fugitive-slave law. "Why, Mr. Wade," said Atherton, "if a nigger had run away from a good master in Ken tucky and came to your house, in Ohio, wouldn't you arrest him and send him back to his master?" - • " No, indeed, i would n't," replied Wade • " would you, Atherton?" " Certainly I would," said the dough face, endeavoring to-curry favor with the Southern Governor ; " I should deem it my duty to enforce that as much as any other law." Mr. Wade turned to -Morehead and inquired : '" Well, Governor, what do yon say ? Would you urea spoor negro and send him back under . such. army atances?" , "No," grafily replied the Governor; " Td . see slavery,. thefugi tive-slave law, and the tugger, all three damned first." • " Weil," said old Ben after a moment's pause, "I don't know as I can blame you, see ing yo . n have got a amity like that I Ming to Atherton) to do such work for you." After this Ath erton was called " Dirty • Work" I Atherton, a name which bas been kept up to this day, and applied to varionamen in public life. When Mr. Wade was delivering Wit famous speech gat the. Kansa& Rebnalut hill, his ,colleague, Mr. Pugh, a man of respectable ability, but* great DisnocrO, and no watch for Mr. Wade, rose in his place and put to the Radical Senator a Want- . mg question relative to his belief in the common brotherhood of mankind. " I have," said Wade, 1 " always be lieved heretofore in the doctnniii of the Declaration of Independence, that 'all•men are born free and equal, hut ofiate it appears that 1013111, men ate born slaves, and I regret they are MIMI ..

He had, he said, been nursed by a black woman, and had grown from childhood to manhood under her we. He loved his old black minim; and now, U he was going to Karma or Nebraska, and the op to of the bill succeeded in prohi biting sla very.there, he could not take his old mammy irith him. Turning to Mr. Wade, lie said : " Surely you will not prevent me from taking my old mam my With me r " Certainly not," re plied Wade, with a ludicrous tone of voice, " but that is net the difficulty in the mind of the Senator. It is be cauie if we *alto the Territories free he cannot sell-his old mammy when he has got her there." , Mr. Wade was arguing to show that slaves were not property in the constitutional meshing of the term. He said : "If a man carries his horse out of l slave State into a free one ho does not lose his property interest in him, brit if ho carries his slave in to a free_ State the law makei him free." Mr. Butler, interruPting him, said, " Yes, but they won't stay with you; lore us so well they will,run o$ and come back in spite of your boast freedom." Mr. Wade, smilingly, "Oh, yo, Senator, I know they love you so well you have to make a fugitive s/are law, to catch them." [Roars of laughter]. • Those who heard Mr. Wade's 2:710n the occuion when Preston , 1 attacked 'Charles Sumner, will not likely ever forget,. the brave words of the great Ohioan. : Not a fire-eater on that floor but believed he uttered the solemn determination of his heartwheri he earnestly' closed with the words : "If the hour has arrived in the history of this &pub lic when its Senators are to be sacri ficed and pay the forfeit of their lives for opinion's sake, I know of no fitter place to die than in this Chamber, with our Senate robes around us, and here, if-necessary, I shall die at my post for the liberty of debate and free discussion.', ' The Southern men hiving ia vain to head off Mr. Wade, ap pal ed to their Northern allies to help them. One day Mr. Douglas rose in his seat and interrupted Mr. Wade, who was speaking. Instantly the Chamber became silent as death and all eyes were turned in the direction of the two standing Senators. Every one expected to.see-Wade demolished in a moment by the great Illinois Sena tor. • DE " You, air," said Douglas in meas ured tones, " p ntinually compliment Southern men who support this bill (Nebraska), but bitterly denounce Northern men who Support it. Why is this? You say it is a moral wrong; ion say it is a crime. If that be so, sit not as mach a crime for a South ern man to support it as for a North ern man to do so ?" Mr. Wade. " No; sir say not !" Mr. Douglas. " The Senator says not. Then ho entertains a different code of morals from myself, and—" Mr. - Wade (interrupting Douglas and pointing at him with scorn marked on every lineament of his face). " Yonr code of morals! Your morals I My God! I hope so, sir." The was hit in4he forehead, and- after standing for a moment with his face red as scarlet, dropped silently into his seat, while Mr. Wade proceeded . with hisspeech as quietly as though nothing had occurred. Mr. Douglas was angry, however, and closely watched Wade for a chance to pounce upon and scalp him. It soon occurred, and in this way : Mr. Wade had said something complimentary about CoL Lane, of Kliasas, when Mr. Douglas rose , and said : "Colonel Lane cannot be believed. Ho has been guilty of perjury and f°ll 6lY. . Wade. "And what proof, sir, have you of these idlegations P Your unsupported word is not sufficient' Mr. Don&m. , "I have the affida vit ,of Col ,Lane, in which some time since, he swore to one thing and now states another." Mr. Wade. "And you, sir, a lavi yer, presume to charge this man with being guilty of forgery and perjury, and then offer him as a witness to prove your own word."' • - k„ Douglas saw hi' a moment he was hopelessly caught and attempted to retreat, but wade pounced Upon him and gave him a withering- rebuke, while the Chamber shook with roars of laughter. Such scenes have to be witnessed to be fully anderstixxl, and there is as much in the exhibition as in the words. Douglas continued to badger Wade, sometimes getting the better of hipi t but o ft en getting roughly handled, until Wade, worn out with. defending himself, resolved' to be come the attacking party. Soon af terwards the "Little Giant" was be wailing the fate - of the nation and picturing the condition we would be in if • the. Free-Sofiers succeeded. Having worked himself up into a passion, when he was at the highest pitch Mr. Wade remain his seat and said, with indescribable coolness : " Well, what are you going to do about it?" Douglas, for a moment Was surprised and dumbfounded, find Z=M -1 P then attempted to proceed, but the pith was knocked out of his argu ment, and Senators only smiled at his eaniestriess. Douglas sat down in disgust. • Mr. Douglas said : "That interrogatory of Wade's was the numill effective • speech I ever heard in the Senate.' Confound the man i it .was ridiculous, and pint' so comically I knew not what answer to inake him, and became ridiculous mph in ;not being able to , tell him what I was going to do aboutit." While the Lecompion bill was un der discussion, Mr.oT ombs , of Geor gia, referring to the minority, of Mr. Mr. Wade was one, said: "The majority have rights and duties, and I trust there is fidelity enough to themselves and their prificiples and the country in the majority 10 . 'stand together at all Imam* and crash the factions ,InstantlLlWade sprang to his feet and hisfist, at Toombs, roared out, " ve a care,. air, have a are; you can't crush me nor my people. You Can never conquer us; we will die first. • I env fall here in the Senate chamber, but I will never make any compromise with any such men. You may bring a majority and outvote me, but so help me . God, I will neither zompromise nor be crushed. That's what I have to say to your threat." A. Southern, Senator. one day 'said roughly to Wiide, " If you don't stop your tholitiondoctrines we Will break up the Union ; we will secede, sir." Wade hold out his hand and said comically : Good-bye, Senator, if you are going now; I pray you :don't delay a moment on my account" Senator Evans, of South Carolina, a very 'grave and good old man, one day was exhibiting in the Senate chamber and speaking 'of a Copy of Garrison's Liberator, with its horrible pictures of slavery. _ Turning to. Mr. Wade, who sat near him, he said "Is it not too bad that such a • should be allowed .to exist/ " will not the authorities of the United States suppress such a slanderous . sheet, Can it be possible that any patriotic citizen of the North will tolerate such an abomination ?" -Sea ' ator . Wade put on his spectscles, and lookung at the title of the paper ex claimed in surprise : "Why, Se nator Evans, in Ohio we consider this one of our ' best family papers!" The Senators roared, but Mr. Evans, who had great respect for Mr. Wade, turned sadly away, saying: " I tun sorry to hear you sarso, Mr. Wade; it shows whither we ar." Notwithstanding Mr. Witter oppositiciit to the slave- power, the Southern men always respected and liked him. Mr. Toombs, the Geor gia fire-eater, said o hies in the Sen ate : "My friend from Ohio puts the matter squarely. He is always honest,' outspoken, and straightfor ward, and I wish to Clod the rest of you were'like him. He speaks out like a man. He says what is the ail-. ference, and it is. He means what he says—you don't always. Ho and I can agree about everything on earth, except our sable population." Such was the opinion the fire-eat ers entertained of Mr. Wade. Senuteriversion, of Georgia, who prided himself on being able to give ansivera 'in debate on which no one could catch him, was one - dap mak ing a speech, when he stated that he was exceedingly sorry Governor Cal houn-had Written his letter giving the result of the election -in Kansas "on the - advice of Southern members of. Congress," when Mr. Wade rose and inquired, "Sir, I would like to know if you mead .to say that Mr. Cabot* proposed to give his certifi cates of election cn the advice of cer tain Southern members here, or ac cording to the truth of the vote his conscience, and his oath. Your state ment etrikeg me as very extraordina ry, andl wish to 'know if I correctly understand you." Mr. Iverson. "I do not recognize your right to catechise me on the subjeckand I decline to answer you." Mr. Wade. "Oh I well, I won't press the inquiry,as we all know who gave each advice as you stated. I was wrong to ask you that question. Don't compromise yourself on my account." Iverson" explained, amid roars of laughtex, how it was. - It use d to be aistomary for slaves in Washington to beg money from Northern Congressmen to buy their freedom., A poor - but smart-looking colored boy accosted Mr. Wado while ho was in conversation with a pro miscuous company of Northern and Southern Senators, and began -to bog for money_ to buy his freedom. never give money to buy slaves," said Mr. Wade. When, seeing the pleas ant looks of the Southern mon, he turned to'the boy and asked, " Why tho devil don't you run away 'r" The Southerners stared at each other,and the darkey started off with a• now idea in his head, when Mr. Wade called him back and handing him a ten-dollar bill, said, "Here is ten dollars to pay your expenses; now, run away out of slavery, my boy, the first chance you get." Wade, on one occasion, replied to Toombs, of Georgia,. in the Senate, and, to all appearance,used language which would compel Toombeto chal lenge him. Several friends went to Wade and begged' him to desist, but the old fellow became more and more violent, until Toombs indicated his intention of calling him out, when Wade quietly, sat down, seemingly having accomplished what he sotightt The Southern men looked at each other in astonishment, and- it was manifest to all Wade had deliberate ly provoked a qt:tarrel with Toombs. That night a friend of the South -eat Senator called •on Mr. Wade to know if be would retract the offens ive_wordi he had used. I°l'l take back a d—d word," was Wade's emphatic' reply. "Then," said the friend of Mr, Toombs,. "it will be necessary for; Senator Townhi Io ahallonge you to mortal combat." "That is jest what I want, and we might have got to -the point without all this palaver," said Wade. "You surely can't bo in earnest, Mr. Wade," said theSontherner. • "VillY, of course I ant; roan— You 1 see, sir, we Northern men don't light often; or lie .to 'tight Now ; lam ,t''.,.'0.14.4;,,!=2W.tt0.titr,t,t.r..1,,c,...a..•-4, I ME 14 , 91 per Annum in.

It appears Wade and Toombs had been out together shooting *lib a rifle several end while Toombs could - shoot very well with a pistol, he was a poor rifle shot. On the other hand, Wade was an old hunter and an adept with the rifle:. In those days he could- hit a a dollar at a hundred yards three out of fir ta,- and _ old Toombs had seen , do it. The - Georgia fire-eater had no idea of becoming the target of such a mac. Long . af tex the affair < was" over, / said one day to Mr. Wade, "if Mr, Toombs had actually challenged you, would yon really have accepted and gone out to fight?" Mr. Wade replied solemnly: "If old Toombs had challenged me that time, I would have accepted and fought him. I bad it all arranged in in my own mind; I would have put a patch on my coat over my heart, of the size of a dollar and made Toombs do the same. I was need to that kind of shooting, and if the old fel low had stood still, me if I wouldn't have est his patch first fire. I was not much afraid of getting hurt;,hir old.Toombs knew me as a good rifle shot, while I 'mew him as a very bad one,. and I felt quite sure that patlicbiisiness would do T mnral ize hun! „ Not only did Mr. Toombs refuse to challenge Mr. Wade,but no South ern member could be induced to send him a challenge, no matter what he Might say. Mr. Fitch told me, that. during the time the trouble was pending with Senator Toombs, Mr. Wade went every evening in a buggy to Bladens burg to practice witht his rifle; so there could be no doubt of the °hie , axes intention to fight should the fire-eaters give him a thence. As late as 1868 I hunted squirrels with Mr. Wade at Jefferson, Oregon t and he was still a remarkably good shot. As is well knoWn, Mr. Wade serv ed Ohio eighteen years in the United States Senate, and was Vico Presi dent of the United States from - March, , lB67, td March, 1869, when Mr. Colfax succeeded him. -Ho was seventy years of ; age, lacking a few months, when he retired from office, and glad to escape the cares of pub lic life. Hi 3 personal friends were deeply disappointed when he- failed at Chicago , in 1868, to receive the nomination for Vice President, on the ticket with General Grant, and it was also a source of deep mortifi cation to them that the President, after his election,'-- did not offer Mr. Wade a seat in his Cabinet. Mr. Grant, hoiiever, appointed him one of the Government directors Of the Union Pacific Railroad, a position which I-am informed is worth $5,000 per year, and afterwards sent him out on a delicate and important mis sion to San Domingo. During his long public career, kir. Wade lived very economically, every year saving a part of his salary, which he invest ed-so advantageously, that when he came to retire to, private life he had an annualincome froth private sour ces of some seven thonsand five hun dred dollars. - Last fall an effort was made to run him for Governor of Ohio, but he positively declined, saying he had done With business and politics for ever. Since then, lim informed, he has accepted the attorneyship of the Northern Pacific Railroad; at a sale ry of $15,000 per year, 10, taking te getherhis pnvate income, his dime torship of the Union Pacific rosotand his attornoyship of the Northern Pa cific, he receives something more than General Grant; and it eannet be said he is in any imminent danger of coming to want. - • Brave old Ben Wade t Well, in deed,does he deserve the good things of this world, and long may be live to enjoy them.
