Senator Sprayne.

Senator Sprague's recent speeches
in the United States Senate have at
tracted considerable attention, not that
they are marked by any particular
ability, but because heretofore ne mas
been quite reticcnt when any important
subjects have come up for discussion in
the Senate. A capitalist himself, he
handles tile capitalists of the country
without mercy and if we are to believe
his statements, the country is on the
verge of ruin. 1t may lie that the
Rhode Island Senator Is sincere in all
that he says, but he is hardly consist
ent. While abusing Senators of high
standing, and pitching into capitalists
generally, he is compelled to admit that
he has made more money the last year
than at any other former period of the
same length; and the worst of the adj
mission is that in order to do this he has
had to break down smaller competitors.
This certainly is not very cfeditable to
Mr.. Sprague, and colclusively proves
that he is willing to ruin others if he
can benefit himself financially. For
such man to bemoan the morals of the
country is very much like Satan rebuk-
ing sin and his arguments, if argu-
ments they can be called, will have lit
tie effect.
Various are the conjectures as to what
has called forth these gloomy and dole
full speeches from Mr.. Sprague. He
made personal explanation" the 9TH
er day, and said he was neither drunk
nor crazed, as some papers had asserted,
when he made his recent speeches, but
that he was excited by the condition of
public affairs, which he had been con-
sidering for the past three years. Had
other Senators devoted equal attention
to the subject, they might be equally
appre hensive. Many demands had been
made for copies of his speeches, so Sc
verely criticised. and he should soon be
disposed to supply them, that they
might reach every hamlet in the land"
Withal, Mr.. Sprague is very sensitive
mortal. For saying that "the Senator's
intense application to his official duties
and to his extensive private interests,
we fear, causes him to take too gloomy
a view of the general situation" the
editor of the Providence Journal re
ceives the following:
"7o the Editor of the Journal, Prof.
idence, r. L.:
Sir-I ain in receipt of a slip from
your paper of the 25tn, referring to me.
The most outrageous insinuation that
you set forth will be answered by me
in my place in the Senate. AS you re
fleet the sentiments, and are tied in SER
vitude to the overshadowing power that
attempts to control both the politics and
the public sentiments of Rhode Island,
shall give to that influence the setting
forth it Is entitled to. AS strike direct
ly at the power of which you are the
lickspittle, you and those who control
you, will find l am, indeed, terribly in
earnest. Take, therefore as you now
have the position in public that have
long known was your private sentiment
Your present is far more honorable, II
honor belongs to your nature, than
your past dastardIy and cowardly one
has been.

nr,rH OF GrsrAyus A. MYERs.-Our

DEATH OF GUsTAvUs A. MYERs.-Our
well-known fellow-citizen Gustavus A.
Myers, ESQ, expired yesterday morning at
III O'Clock, after an illness of several weeks.
The intelligence Will be received here with
little surprise, as for ten days the public
have been apprised Of his critical condi-
ton. But the fact that his end was thought
near at hand does not lessen the universal
regret at his death.
Mr. Myers was widely known and greatly
respected. His reputation was founded
principally upon his success at the bar
but he also achieved success in political
life during the short time that his atten-
ton was diverted from the profession upon
which his talents were particularly concsn-
trated. He served the city of Richmond for
term in the State Legislature, was for many
wears president of the City Council, and also
occupied other positions of trust. at the
time of his death he was director OF the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad. and commissioner OF the wash
ington Monument, and he had been for
wears an active and valuable member OF
the Executive Committee of the Virginia
Historical Society. His attention was also
sometimes turned to purely literary occupa-
tions-contributing to Mr.. Rnchie's Eng,a-
rer and to various periodicals. One of his
plays had q fine run just after it was pro-
duced, and still retains its popularity. ;.
Mr.. Myers was prominently connected
with the Masonic Order, to which he was
ardently attached. He was Past Master
Of Richmond Lodge, No. 10, and (if we are
correctly informed) the first president OF
the Masonic Educational Committee. tie
was also member Of this committee at the
time Of his death. He will be buried with
Masonic honors on tomorrow afternoon at
8 o'clock.
Mr.. Myers was native of this city, and
was aged about sixty-eight years when II ne
died. He was a highly useful and public
spirited citizen and polished and estimabie
gentleman: remarkable for his refined ana
unvaryinc courtesy and urbanity.

Several persons rushed to his assistance,

having fallen. He remarked, "Don't let
me die in the street. take me III the
house." He was carried to his office, in the

TREES KILLED BY THE DROUGHT.-One
of the most remarkable effects Of the pre-
yailing disastrous drought in Virginia is
the killing of the forest trees. In Henrico,
we learn very many have been withered as
by fire, while others have been stripped Of
foliage weeks before the time for leaves to
fall. 4 gentleman who has lately returned
from trip through Hanover and Gooch-
land was several times struck with this
phenomenon and another, residing in Hen
rico, states that within sight of his house
he has counted no less than twenty trees
killed by the drought during the last four
days.
