FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1808. jg>Far Weekly Review of the Market, see Third Page. THE RADICAL. PllOGIlAMlIE-US IV KR- SAh SUFFRAGE IN ALL THE STATES OF THE UNION. We published on Tuesday, Wendell Phil- t.tps’ manifesto, in which he discloses the Radical programme of the approaching Con gress, as follows? ' -• 1st. A revision of the Reconstruction laws. 2d. The arming of the negroes and “loyal” whites throughout the South. 3d. The passage of a law confiscating the lands of prominent Sontherners and partition ing them among the negroes. ' ' 4th. The passage of an additional amend ment to the Constitution grunting to negroes in all the States the right of suffrage and to hold office. 5th, The impeachment and deposition of President Johnson. Distrusting General Grant, it is the pur pose of the extreme Radicals to consummate their revolutionary purpose before the 4th of March, when.a new Congress will be organ ized, in which they will not have the two- thirds majority by which the party are now en abled to set tbe President’s veto at defiance. That this movement meets the approbation of the extreme Radicals, is evident from the promptness with which their leading journals endorse the main proposition to secure to negroes in all the States, by a Constitutional amendment, the right of suffrage and to hold office. The Washington Chronicle and the Phila delphia Press, Forney’s “two papers, both daily,” are out in favor of the proposed imme diate amendment of the Constitution, for the inongrelizing of the American Government by extending negro suffrage and negro eligibility to office “all over the Union.” The Chronicle, in copying and endorsing the article of the Press, speaking of the proposed amendment, says: This is the one thing now needed to com plete tbe first great work of the Republican party—the abolition of slavery and the estab- tablishment of real freedom throughout tbe Republic. It is manifest that without this our work would be incomplete.—our princi ples but partially established. The strength of the Republican party has been demonstrated in the election just past. We think it has been proved to be amply sufficient for the occasion. It will certainly be more than sufficient if our party is true to. its principles and united in their support. •* * • * * » , At all events-too probabilities of the pro posed measure being sustained, coupled with the urgent reasons for its adoption, found alike in justice and expediency, make it the imperative duty of the present Republican Congress to submit the question to the States in the form of a new constitutional amend ment. The Press is equally urgent and more elo quent on the subject It says : The colored man holds the bdnd and pledge of this country. Under the furnace- blast of war we promised him freedom. We owe not the hollow promise, to be kept to tbe ear and broken to the hope, but the substan tial thing—good measure, full, pressed down and running over. Ret us give it now, and let the Fortieth Congress snatch the honor. Common justice, common hnmanity and common gratitude call on us now to enfran chise with the ballot the colored man in every State. It can be done safely and successfully. We are ou the wave of success. Let us use it to float the ship of State into quiet waters —quiet because they are the great deep of justice and right Let the Fortieth Congress in December, as their first and main work, propose an amendment to the constitution conferring the power to vote for national purposes and offi cers on colored men, under equal conditions with white men, and submit it to the people, under the fifth article. Three-fourths of the States would rush to ratify it, and another laurel, ever green and glorious, would be added to the enduring honors of our party. The editor parades a tabular statement of the States in which negroes now vote, and of the States which now have Radical Legisla tures, which he counts as- certain for the amendment. Four States only he considers ■“absolutely hopeless,” viz: Delaware, Mary land, Kentucky and New Jersey. He con cludes: “The colored men voting already in nine teen States, which are secure for the amend ment, under a fair election, and eleven more States, represented by Republican Legisla tors, gives us thirty States safe. Twenty- nine is a three-fourths majority of all the States in or out of the Union—twenty-six of all now in. “This places the whole matter in our hands, and throws oa us the responsibility of de clining to discharge the sworn obligation of the nation.” Thus it is proposed to consummate the work of usurpation, revolution and national degradation. To this hideous infamy the fell spirit of Abolitionism has grown at last. It was to escape the foal pollution of this political, moral and social prostitution that the South sought separation. It was for resisting the steady approaches of this law- lessjund demoralizing spirit of fanatical agra rianism in the only way left to theiri, that her people have been subjected to all the horrors of a bloody, devastating, savage and relent less war. And yet how little did our fellow- countrymen of the North and West under stand the true issues involved in that fratricidal contest Had they been avowed— could their full fruition have been foreseen at that time—could the hundreds of thousands of brave men who rallied to the standard of their conntiy, have realized that instead of fighting for the Union, the Constitution and laws, they were butchering men of their own blood and race only to sever forever the trne bonds of Union, to destroy the Constitution of their lathers, and finally to lower the proud status of the free-born American citizen to the level ofthe base-born African, we leave even the survivors to say whether they would not have- turned with shame and disgust from such suicidal and inglorious strife. Notwithstanding the experiences of the pasf, which have taught bs : to , imagine no limits to. the extremes of popular frenzy, we are still unwilling to believe that the great mass of the white race of America are pre pared for such self-abasement. The disofganizera were shrewd enough to select a time for the propagation of their, leveling doctrines,-when the people of the North werq^fipnzied with resentment and bitter hatred against their late mortal ioes of the South. No act of outrage or cruelty was then too monstrous to be inflicted upon a people who had bravely battled for their rights. Negro suffrage was in their eyes but a fit climax of the series of wrongs, indignities and.insults designed for the punishment and. humiliation of a fallen foe, and it was forced upon the i?outh at the point of the bayonet, as the Greek ffizerwas thrown into Charleston, not foT.the Iqye.of the negro,' but; for the ha tred ofthe South; not for the elevation bf the African race, but for the humiliation and rain of.apeople whom they had overwhelmed, but whom they could neither conquer nor de grade. In their blind vindictiveness their leaders had no need to pause, for their reck- s policy, as they thought, could only work harm to the South. There was no for negro suffrage in their midst, and even if it kindled the flames of insurrection, to re suit in a war of races, they wonld be beyond its reach. Appealing to Hid passions of the masses just out of the war, they were sus tained in a policy which they believed, by establishing negro domination in the South, would perpetuate Radical domination in the North. It is no compliment to the magnanimity of the Northern masses,- thus to explain the feelings and motives which have influenced their unnatural and ungenerous course in forcing negro suffrage upon the Southern people, in utter violation of-the -Constitnti and of the principles of free representative government; bat it wonld be a worse compli ment to their good sensejmd self respect, to believe that now, without the incitements which we have assigned, they could be guilty of an act of self-abasement and folly, not to say treachery to theirrace and civilization, which has no parallel in the history of human gov ernments, civil or savage. The proposition now before them, as embodied by the, great leader of Radicalism, Wendell Phillips, stands at tofl head of this article. Since its promulgation his organs have included the nv.i.wwm idolaters of California in the same category with the Africans. The American peo ple are called upon to adopt “an additional amendment of the Constitution forbidding disfranchisement or proscription from official trust, on account of race or color, in any State or Territory of the Union.” This would include Africans, Chinese, Indians, Hotten tots, Malays or any other biped race which in the course of human events might be thrown upon onr shores. Wo have said that we do not believe that the American people are prepared for snch Radit-al mongrelization. We do not believe that the white men of the North are sufficient ly imbued with the progressive principles of the “party of moral ideas” to vote for the ratification of the proposed amendment We unhesitatingly answer for the respectable ne groes of the South, that they will never con sent to fraternize with the idol worshiping, rat eating Chinese. The proposed measure will, of conrse, find no favor with the white men of the South. But it is expected to be pushed through the present Congress without our aid, and to be forced upon us as the last amendment was, despite of all lawful opposi tion. I£ contrary to onr belief, the Radicals shall triumph in this crowning measure of iniquity, abasement and shame, as they have in times past, the doctrine of the right of se cession having been forever settled against us, all that we of the South can do will be to submit protesting. “Black spirits and white, lied spirits and grey; Mingle, mingle, mingle; You that mingle may.” Election Returns. We are indebted to our correspondents for the following additional returns: McIntosh County—(official.)—Grant 664; Seymour 443. Stewart County.—Seymour 282; Grant 63.' Wilcox County.—Seymour 237f Grant 7. > >#i < Gen. Grant's Majorities.—Says tbe New York Sun: As near as can be ascertained, Gen. Grant’s majority oyer Seymour on the popular vote is about 265,000. This is the largest majority ever obtained over an opponent by any Pres idential candidate, with one exception. That exception was in 1864, when Mr. Lincoln re ceived 411,281 majority over Gen. McClellan. But, remarks the Washingto'hRrpress, this excludes the Democratic vote ih -Virginia, Mississippi, Texas and Florida, the one hun dred thousand white men disfranchised in Tennessee, the fifty thousand in Missouri, and thousands in other Southern States. Gen. Grant is elected eonstitutuinallyi as Mr. Lincoln was eight years since, bnt .with a very decided majority of the people opposed to him. He is a minority President, though none the less entitled to respect on this ac count; bat the fact remains, even counting the tens of thousands of negro rotes vast in his favor. Fhurusterino for Cuba—An article in the New York Sunday News states that a grand scheme is on foot in tbst city, among a bond of Americans, for the capture and conquest of tbe Queen of the Antilles. Ac cording to this report, 3,500 men of pluck and spirit are all that are required to accom plish this undertaking. These acquisitive gentlemen, however, should remember that there are several little obstacles in the way of their success. Primarily, our government is in most harmonious relations with the new Spanish government and people, and the President would feel it incumbent upon him to suppress all such unlawful raids upon a friendly power. "In addition to that, the job would be found a difficult one as against the Spanish forces themselves, especially as the new provisional government at Madrid is sending out new armaments to keep the ever faithful isle in order.

Affairs have been reversed. The popular errors concerning the ability of the South to become her own manufacturer ore daily being exploded by actual results. And we must not forget that a large amount of Northern skill and enterprise has been transplanted to the Southern field in toe natural course of events. The time is not far distant when the hum of a new industry will he heard below Mason and Dixon’s line—when that section will make its own boots, shoes, cotton fabrics, machinery and other articles long purchased in Northern factories. Southern Recorder.—Mr. R. M. Oemb, Sr., the veteran fonnder and editor of this old and time-honored journal, desirous of spending the evening of his days in the in dulgence of his taste tor agricultural pursuits, offers his half interest in toe Recorder estab lishment for sale. The junior editor wonld also sell his interest if desirable, or will re main as editor. The Recorder is one of the oldest and best established papers in the State. Its location is central, and well suited for a large weekly circulation, and good busi ness patronage. •7 ► « * The Majority is Georgia—The Atlanta Constitution lias official returns from one hun dred and twenty-five counties, which give Seymour and Blair Forty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Nine Majority.

Every Democrat in and out of New York felt that; and, I suppose, eveiy true Democrat elsewhere was in the same condition,. The party was sold; that is toe long and toe short of it, and toe resnlt—a total and overwhelm ing rout on Tuesday—will prove what I’ say. Hoffman will, I hope, be elected Governor, of the State, and if so the victory will be complete to the managers, for, do you know, they do not care who is President so they have the Governor of the State. They have no hopes outside of New York, because here lies the strength; and, having sold oat their political principles on the financial question, their victory is complete with the election of Hoffman and either Grant or Seymour. I tell you, a total rout is before ns, so far as the electoral vote can proclaim it; not dis graceful as Home have, because the disgrace is ultogelher on the Republican side. But for George H. Pendleton, the chevalier without disgrace and without reproach, of American statesmen, and the bold and truthful Frank Blair, of toe late army, there wonld now be no contest at all Grant and Colfax would walk over the track without opposition. The people themselves are Democratic, brlt they were cheated and sold out in July by a conspiracy of New York capitalists and West ern ambitions men, who were candidates for President and Cabinet, offices. I■* tell the truth; let toe galled jade wince. This whole thing has been an effort to make the Demo cratic party endorse the class interests that grew up under it here, and which, if Grant is elected, will control the legislation of toe country. . > »■%» 4—i -T . [Correspondence ot the Memphis Appeal.] A Carpet-Bag General—He is Tlirastied by an Old Man—A Few Items from His Wnr Record. Jackson, Tenn., November 1. A difficulty transpired here on yesterday, which will doubtless be perverted by the Radical party for political purposes, of which some of our friends think I ought to give a correct version. The (acts stated to me come from the most reliable sources, and I am per fectly satisfied of their correctness. It appears that Mr. E. J. Trice, now resid ing in this oonnty, but during toe war lived near Muffin, in Henderson county, was known to be a man of means, and was supposed to have a considerable sum of money about his premises. About the time ^General W. J. Smith was raiding through that part of the country, he went with a party of his soldiers to Mr. Trice’s home while he was absent, and demanded bis money from his family, who refused to deliyejr }t to him, or to tell him where it was. Thereupon tlfey took Me. Trice's son, Elijah, tlfeu ub.Qfft seventeen years of age, and putting a rope around hie neck, hung him up until he was nearly choked to death, Who, nevertheless, refused to tell where the tpofffiy was. Failing to extort the information from Elijah, they then took Miss Sullie Trice, his daughter, toen fifteen or six teen years of age, and served ifer jjj fl/e same manner. These children, having alternately refused to communicate the place where their father’s money was secreted,’ three ruffians then proceeded to plunder the. house of everything valuable they ppjild get hold of. Ou yesterday, \vhile Sindh wqs hero at tending a political meeting, Mr. Trjce hap pened to be jn town, and hearing that Smith was here, went to the Court House and waited at the ddor, feoping he would meet him as he came out; but not knowing toe redoubtable General, he passed by hint and got off without being recognized. Finding that he had escaped him, he then proceeded to the railroad depot, and passed through the cars inquiring for General Smith, when he was pointed out by one of tbe passengers to him. Trice then went up to Smith and told him that he had come to punish him for. the treatment of his children during the war;, not to be uneasy, be did not want to kill him, but only chastise him, and that hereafter be intended to serve him the same way every time he met him. Old man Trice then went for the valorous General, and, from all I can learn, gave him a most terrible thrashing, and, although be is upwards of sixty years of age, he used pp wwpons, sed culcibus et pugius. Mr! Trice is $ gqoqL gqjet citizen, and takes Very littje part in poli.#f, wd eycry one who knows him says he would have served tbe General the way if he had belonged to the Democratic puriy. Of one thing there is no question, that politics had nothing whatever to do with tbe difficulty, and would have occurred at any rime when Mr. Trice should meet tbs opportunity. General Grant’s Cabinet.—The New York Tribune, speaking of Gen. Grant’s probable cabinet, says: The present cabinet, except Gen. Schofield, having in tbs main gjyen their, influence to ward the election or 8ejmpjjr and Blair, it is assumed that on entire new cobmsp will be. formed. Bat among the statesmen of the country who have never held cabinet posi tions there are few who enjoy such a pre- eminence in any special department of states manship as to point them out for particular places in tlpe cabinet Gen. Schofield, ex- Secretary Stanton, Qpp. Sherman, Gen. Sheri dan and Gen. Thomas f*e, perhaps, equally available for the post of fjecreterv pf War. Mr. Sumner, Charles Francis Adams, Mr. Trumbull, Gen- Pix, M r - Ijancrdft' and Mr. Motley are among the names suggested for Secretary of State- Tbe njore important office of Secretary of tbs TrtffSBfy naturally suggests toe names of Beniamin P- Wade, Gov. Fenton, - Gov. BontweU, and Senators Morgan, Sherman, Conkling and'Morrill, and Mr. Washburne.

It is understood, however, that General .Grant will give no intimations whatever of his pur poses until after the vote of the Electoral College has been’ cast although it is general ly behoved by his friends that he has already fixed upon his Cabinet—without the assist ance of politicians. Prominent Southern gentlemen now here express entire satisfac tion with the election of General Grant A prominent leading member of the Mobile bar said, to-day, that Seymour’s elec tion wonld have been unfortunate for toe South as he would have been to tally unable to render them any as sistance, while defeat would only have exas perated toe Radical Congress, and render their legislation more tyranical than before. With Congress, as at present composed, a Democratic President wonld have been but a man of straw in the White House. The power will pass from the Capitol to the other end of toe avenne with General Graut seated in the Executive chair. Snch are the specu lations of many leading conservative South ern men now in this city.

We hear this report in a way. that satisfies ns that it is correct, and we' suppose there can be no remedy until the Legislature meets in January.” A Scandalous Imposition.—In several of the Northern towns, at the late Presidential election, the strong minded sisters appeared in force and insisted upon depositing their ballots. Being denied tho privilege scenes more or less disagreeable followed. In a - town in Westchester cogffiy, i New York, we see from the World they managed toe tome very adroitly. The inspectors getting wind of the movement, provided themselves with an extra ballot-box. The ladies were receiv ed with great formality—^their, ballots were dropped in the empty box—set aside, and then tbs election went On as before.'

It was submitted to distinguishedcheminsts for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Da pu rity and properties having been thus ascertained, sam ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes of experimen. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a re port of the resnlt, accompanied each speciment. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in .the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Snch a prepara tion, they said, had long been wanted by tho- profes sion, as no reliance could be placed ou the ordinary liquors of commerce,- all pf which, were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar exceleuce and strength of the oil of juni per, which farmed one of the principle ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic^elemeut, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over diffusive stimulant as a diuretic tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from , professional mien of the highest rank were published in a con densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuine ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained for the article, the fable was copywrighted, a fae simile of the proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each table and cover, his name and that of the preparation were em bossed oh the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold ih this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the in troduction of Wolfo’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, In 1851; and the table was deposited, as his trademark, in the United States District Court forthe Southern District of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with the daring character ofthe pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete rious trash under their name, that the protections so carefully thrown around these Sconapps wonld have precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to hare stimulated the rapaci ty of impostors. The trade mark of the proprie tor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schie dam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medi cal profession has been claimed by mendacious bum- bugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and worse titan all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them 19 with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and fhus inade £ia uange and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprie tor in the detection and suppression of these nefari ous practices. The genuine article, manufactured at the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, isdistilledfrom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the I*aUw Ot qne^mdjed Parity- By a process unknown in the .preparation of any other liquor, it is freedfrom every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Southern States ofthe sale of cheap Yqpt^tlQTlf 1 Of ft e Arnmatii* Schnapps in those markets; mid travellers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful in fluence of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned have been requested to institute Inquiries on the sub ject; and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may ascertain to be engaged in the atrocious system pf deception- Jo conclusion, the undersigned of the men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the parity and medicinal ex cellence ofthe Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fradulent imitations; that bo ha* shown it to be the only liquor in the worid that can'be uniformly depended, upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms: and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his name, sesISDd trade mark, has come off triumphant. He therfore feels if a dpfy bo owes to hp? fellow-citizens generally, to the medical “profession and the sick, to denounce and expose*the chaiiatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and tie calls upon the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an'eri^ k The following letters gpd certificates from the leading phyakdans and chemists of this city will prove Ac., Ac., the ed to the public.
