BAD FOR SPRAGNE.

sPRAeUE, OF Rhode Island, known among his
iriehas as Little Billy Sprague, distinguished
himself during the early days of the Rebellion
before the hard fighting commenced, bv puttin,,
on bran new major-generals uniform. HAVING
his likeness taken in this guise and distributing
it all over the country, and by careerinr about
the field at Bull Run on fiery, untamed
charger, cursing and swearing like veteran
trooper, and conducting campaign on Ii ow
hook Sprague then went into the United States
Senate On the strength of his ''war record"
and the money made by his family in the calico
business, and subsidized. Indeed he was
almost f~rstttel, but his proud spirit
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-05-13

chafed at the little reputation that his sena-
torial career brought him, aud he accordingly
braced himself for one great effort which should
place his name high upon the roll of the warrior
statesmen Of the country, and hand IL down to
an admiring posterty. With the assistance o
needy quill-drivers who attend to that sort of
business in Washington for illiterate Congress-
men, he produced several speeches which, after
exciting general curiosity by his dark hints at
the terrible disclosures he was about to make,
he finally gave to his anxiously awaiting coun-
trymen in the columns of the Congressional
Globe. Sprague's speeches certainly did make a
sensation but not exactly the kind of one he
anticipated, and their immediate result was to
rank him with those profound statesmen and
diplomats, George Francis Train and Colorado
Jewett
Rhode island even, "Sprague's plantation
repudiated him, and, if we except the sardonic
support of the New York Herald, there was
none to do him reyerence but those who most
heartily wished him well freely expressed the
opinion that he ought to be spanked. Sprague
evidently desired to make capital in his own
little seven-by-nine State; but yesterday the
municipal election was held in Providence the
home of the Spragues and the anti-Sprague
men were successful by large majority. not
withstanding that the belicose little Senator
was present to press his own claims and to
throw all the influence of his calico factory into
the scale to defeat his opponents. SO long as
Sprague held his peace, he was safe on the
strength of his 'war record" but as soon as he
opened his mouth, the ass beneath the lions
skin was betrayed, and Sprague subsidized to his
natural level. "Faci ie deScensus Auerni,"
and Sprague having now got back to the normal
state of insignificance from which he started we
hope that his talented wife will prevent him
from making fool of himself, and that she will
spank him well with her slipper if he don't be-
have himself as a warror-statesman should by
holding his peace about matters that he is not
able to understand.

Gents:-On the night OF the 22d ultimo, our store,
No. 20 South street, entered and desperate at
tempt made by burglars upon one OF your safes in
counting-room.
The key to the safe n which we kept our securities
was locked inside OF our fre-proof book safe, the
doors OF which literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Bankers Chests inside, in which our valuables were
deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night dark and stormy
and the fact OF their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured. They
tried wedgng the door and body Of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless and it is with
great satisfaction report that upon opening it we
found securities all SAFE and therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by US
to countinghouse and take the old one to show
that some safes still manufactured worthy OF the
name. DAVID DOws Co.

THE SCHOOL LAW,

Like all new ideas, must fight its way in
to popular favor. 1t would be assuming
too much to say that the law is perfect,
for its trainers were men and liable to err.
But upon the whole, the law is Il good
one and can be successfully defended al
most to the letter. The idea contained in
the law is i noble one, and it Will recon-
mend itself to our people. In the col
uInns of this paper the merits of the law
will from time to time, be set forth, and
the objections against it carefully consid-
cred.
No system OF free schools can work it
self out it must have the hearty support
of the people. Free education and free
thought are inseparable and on this
principle we shall defend the cause of
Common Schools as being paramount to
every thing in our present condition as a
people. History is unable to point out q
single State, Nation or Kingdom of any
noted distinction without 4 system of ed
ucation. For Il moment consider the SUI
periority of the States having free Schools
over those that have none. Intelligence

Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1869-08-26
J0hnSonin,

y general interest in the country Is ap-
parent on the subject of Andrew john
sons chances for the Senate. Almost at
random, and from a single days eXchang-
es, we gather the following from the De-
troit Advertiser, Tribune, New Haven Pald-
dium and other journals:
We AVE never noticed any thing more
affecting than the general alarm which is
expressed all over the country at the
prospect OF Mr.. JOhnSOn'S return to the
Senate. 1t is something like the appre-
henSion of the cholera which preccdes the
coming of that peStilence. The feeling or
preSentiment appears to be, that if he gets
into the Senate he will talk from early in
tine morning to mountain-dewey eve. and
that by no rule or resolution, Or motion,
or other device will it be possible to ST
leuce him. Most men, after a display
such as Mr.. Johnson made upon the occa-
sion of his taking his seat as Nice-Presi-
dent, would find it impossible to enter
the chamber again but the rule for most
men, we grieve to say. is not the rule for
johnson, otherwise called Andy:
There seems TO be u fair probability that
eX-President Johnson will be returned to
the T.. 5 Senate from Tennessee, in good
part through the efforts of Parson Brown
low, with whom he will find himself in
loving accord. In the mean time. it is
said that General Butler has Il reasonable
prospect of succeeding Henry Wilson,
which however seems too stupid n thing
for Massachusetts to do. Politics do in
ded make strange bed-fellOws. Mr.. john
son if elected, will find himself Il fellow
member in the midst Ofthe very men who,
as President, he used to denOunce as en-
enlieS of the Government, and who in turn
voted to impeach and eNpel him from of
flee /; and Gen. Butler, who led the i'm
parchment prosecution, will not only be
face to face with ''the great criminal
but with some of the Senators whom he
sought to convict of bribery, and with the
entire body i'll whose faces he shook his
fists with denunciation and defiance,
when the Presidential vote was counted
last February.
The Eventng Post thinks that it is an
s'evidence of gorgeous and brilliant stu
pidity'' for a~,Republican paper to congrat-
ulate the people of Tennessee on the over
throw and eXtirpatiOn of IA political pro-
scription which disfranchiSed 10000 citi-
zens. The Tribune, on the other hand,
kinks that to advocate a continuance of
such infamous OStraciSm even If its reno
val lets, Andy ohnsOn into the Senate, is
Il diSYrce and a qualification to any Jour
nal claiming to be liberal or Republican
i'll its politics. If Andy JOenson is per-
mitted to return to the Senate, the blame
rests on the coarse, i|ll-mannered black
guards who divide the Republican party
in that State into waring factions andi if
both sets of dcmagogues have been
'scleaned OUT and .'chaWed up" every
decent man will rejoice. The triumph Of
confer no benefit on the Republican par
ty. Tennessee politics had become Il pub
lie disgrace, and il is high time they were
abatcu,
