The Old Sprague Scandal.
SOME OF IT WARMED OVER.

CINCINNATI, O., April 17.-Judge
Hoadly, of this city, and Winchester
Button, of Brooklyn, n. Y, counsel
for Mrs. Catherine Chase Sprague, to-
day sent the firm here a letter
to the editor ofthe Vindicator, Stanton,
Va, referring to statement published
in that paper, March 16sh, in which
Gov. Sprague was represented as hav
ing said to the clerk Of the court, to
the commonwealth attorney and to
Rev. ]. D. Hullifer, in order to procure
lic-ns to marry and to induce
the minister to perform the ceremony;
that he broughtessu against Mrs.
Sprague asking for divorce on the
GROUND OF ADULTERY:
that she answered charging him with
the same offense; that afterward she
withdrew hsr charge against him; but
his remained, and he was granted di-
vorce on the
GROUND STATED IN HIS PETITION;
and the court took custody of the chill
dren. For the sake of accuracy the
minister reduced the above statement
to writing. Counsel say they can
hardly believe it possible that such
perversion of fact could have been
made, bit as they have seen no contra
diction, they have asked it of the Vim
dicator to publish the facts as they are,
in justice to Mrs. Sprague. They then
recite that Mrs. Sgrague brought suit
for divorce in Rhode Island, charging
adultery, cruelty and failure to sup
port. He answered by cross bill
charging her with adultery. She pre-
pared proof TO support all her allega-
tions, but on the trial Gov. Sprsgue and
counsel proposed that if Mrs. Sprague
~onld waive the proof as 10 his
adultery, he would Withdraw his petit
| ton and permit the Case to proceed on
milder charge of non-suppo1t. The
proposition was accepted. A decree
was granted Mrs. Sprague on this
ground and she was given the custody
of the three younger children, the otk
er child being under the laws of Rhode
Island was not suhjec! to the control ot
] the court. In view of all the facts the
counsel say they have advised Mrs
| Sprague to avail herself of the permis
sion Of the court TO resume her m alden
