FROM PHILIP DRUNK TO PHILIP SoBER."-
The Providence Journal cites the following
letter from Gov. sprague to Gen. Burnside,
accompanying some very complimentary reso-
lutions of the Rhode Island Legislature in
August, 1861, as the great traducer's own se-
rious and sincere estimate of the man whom
he has recently slandered:
SIR.-I herewith transmit to you the resolu-
ton of thanks to yourself and the officers and
men late under your command, passed by the
General Assembly at their recent session. 1t
gives me pleasure to convey this testimonial
of their appreciation of the services of your
self and your gallant regiment and request
you to communicate the same to your officers
and men. The people of Rhode Island will
long remember your services to them and to
our common country. No man, believe, in
the history of the State, has, in so short a
time, more firmly entwined himself around
the hearts of our people than yourself take
this opportunity to tender you my sincere
th anks for the cordial and patriotic spirit
which has actuated you in all our intercourse
since the commencement of the war. Wish
| ing you every success in the new position to
| which you have been called,
have the honor to be,
Your friend and obedent servant,
WILLIAM SPRAoUE.

The BUTLER AND SCHENcK CONTROVERSY.
The quarrel between Generals Butler and
Schenck came up in the debate on the tobacco
and whiskey bill on the last night of the ses-
sion. Butler having limited mysteriously al
some horror hidden in the bill Mr.. Schenck
said:
Whatever is offered in this regard brings
out, as once before, intimatons on this floor
| from certain quarter that there is something
wrong, something sinister, some concealed in
| terested motive in what we have done. Some
minds are so diseased by corruption that they
cannot comprehend honesty of purpose il any
body else. thank God am not so constitut-
ed 1 should suspect myself II / so always sus-
pected others. Then again some persons make
their charge openly and boldly and thus de-
serve some credit for candor and manfllness
at least, though their statements may be false
Others insinuate their lies and slander by in
nuendo, and thus add cowardice to talsehood
care nothing for such men, for such mean
ness; can give back nothing but scorn.
Mr.. Logan have no feeling of unkindness
for the gentleman from Ohio, and l trust that
he has none toward me; but / wish to ask him
whether he alludes to me when he says there
are men here who insinuate lies and add cow
ardice to falsehood.
Mr.. Schenck-No, sir; not to you.
Mr.. Butler-I desire to ask the gentleman
from Ohio whether it was not the saying Of
the Pharisee, IT thank God L am not as other
men are"
Mr.. Schenck-I think it is possible; anything
hypocrisy may have to utter is, have nc
doubt, familiar to the member from Massachu.

Widow Van Coot is a licensed Methodist
preacher in New York, and the New YORK
Conference now in session. is agitated over
Che question of fallowing her to continue in the
nastoral work. 1t is stated as an evidence OF
her service to the cause of religion, that nearly
two thousand persons have been converted un-
der her ministrations during the past year,
and she is represented as being very eloquent,
earnest and effective in her pulpit services
The question at issue is whether or not the
Conference shall license women to preach at
all. Mrs Van Coot is said to be the only Ii
censed female preacher of any denomination

The Portland daily press., 1869-04-17

THE Illinois Legislature has passed as a
great innovation" liberal statute respecting
the property rights of married women which
is almost literal transcript of law that for
many years Las been in force in Maine. So
far as the rules of criminal evidence and the
rights OF married women to own and control
property are concerned, Maine has until with
in few years led the world. Other states are
now catching up with Maine, and in order to
keep the lead we must take what ex-senator
Wade would call lump forward" A good
beginning would be made if our State should
be the first distinctly to recognize reform as
the primary purpose of punishment, and mod
ify the criminal code accordingly. 1t is the
opinion of probably the most accomplish
ed warden of State prison in America (Gid-
con Haynes of The Charlestown State prison)
that more than three: :foatrths of all the orimi-
mails in the United States can be made good
citizens by proper education and judicious
treatment. The ignorance of criminals, which
in nine cases out of ten is the occasion of
their wrong-doing, is the fault of the society
that permits it, 1t is inconceivably wicked
under such circumstances to make punish
ishment vindictive, at least until the State has
done what it can to repair the wrong for which
it is responsible
