GENERAL GRANT’!
Neariyeveiy nortnem
we open contains speculations in reference
of Gen. Grant's Cabinet,
idely differ in their casts, no
vo' agreeing npou the same men for the
respective Cabinet positions ail accord in one
respect, and that ie in excluding the South
from all participation in the new 'Administra
tion. The NgwYork Tribune, which assumes
to speak with something of authority, says:
The present Cabinet, except Gen. Scho
field; having in the main given their influence
toward the election of Seymour and Blair, it
ffepsanmed that an entire new Cabinet will be
forjMjpL But among the statesmen of the
couiHry, -Who have never held- Cabinet' posi
tions there are few who enjoy such a pre-
S ence in any special department of states-
hip as to point them out for particular
places in the Cabinet General Schofield,
Cx-Secretary Stanton, General Sherman,
General Sheridan and General Thomas are,
u ~ps, equally available for the post of
War. Mr. Sumner, Charles
ztFrancia Adams, Mr. Trumbull, General Dix,
Mr. BancVbft and Mr. Motley are among the
jmaeg suggested for Secretary of State. The
more ’important office of Secretary of the
, T’rdfisury naturally suggests the names of
-• Benjamin F. Wade, Governor Fenton,
Governor Boutwell, and Senators Morgan,
Sherman, Conkling and Morrell/ and Mr.
'Wadhbtirne.
If Gen. Grant should fail in composing an
able Cabinet it will not be for want of ad
visers. It is not, therefore, in the belief that
our counsel is needed that we make the fol
lowing suggestion.
The Bepublican party have steadily claimed
to be the party of the Union. The recon
struction of the Union has been the object of
their special concern and peculiar solicitude
during the past' three years. Regarding - the
“GEY. GRANT AS PRESIDENT.”
The Army and Navy Journal, which has
through the campaign spoken in relation to
Ghaut in anauthoritativo tone,' discusses his
probable course now that he is elected to the
Presidency. It refers Jo ins candid and dis
passionate view regarding the South set forth
in his official report on the situation soon
after peace was declared, and to the terms of
p, then adds:
" 'Gen. Grant, we rep
re-establishment of -the Union as. paramount
to every, other political consideration, in their
efforts to accomplish it, they’have scrupled
at no sacrifice of money, at the exercise of no
power within or outside of the Constitution.
They claim that their reconstruction plan is
a success—that reconstruction is in fact ac
complished and all that remains to renderit
complete, harmonious and enduring, is the
acquiescence of the people of the reconstruct
ed States. They claim the result of the re
cent election as a verdict of-: the people of the
whole Union in favor of finality and peace.
It is true that some of the more extreme Rad
icals, those of the Wendell Phillips, But-
leb and Forney school, want still more re
construction. Bat the more conservative
men of the party with Gen. Grant, regarding
the Union as restored, say, “Let us have
peace.”
If then, the Republican parly recognizes
the Union as re-established, it can only be as
a Union of equal States, with equal rights in
the government, and eqnal duties, responsi
bilities and privileges of all the citizens of all
the States; and if. General Grant desires unity,
concord and peace, it is with him as the head
of the government of,a restored Union to
initiate the era of restored fraternity, mutual
confidence and good feeling. It devolves on
him in his high position, where magnanimity
cannot be mistaken for servility, to extend
the olive branch—to set the noble example of
earnest reconciliation. The first step to
wards the accomplishment of his mission of
peace should be to unsectionalize the Govern
ment, to recognize the restored equality of
the States by comprehending them in the
distribution of the offices of honor and trust.
Such a policy on his part would do more to
restore the national unity than all the arbi
trary enactments that a proscriptive and vin
dictive Congress could devise. In pursuance
of this magnanimous, just and patriotic
policy, General Gbant would call men to his
Cabinet whose patriotism, wisdom and con
servative statesmanship have shown conspicn-
ous. in the councils of the nation in the past,
and whose eminent abilities and influence
would add strength and dignity to his admin
istration. There are such statesmen in the
Sopth; who are-still remembered with admi-
miration by the whole country, and whose
high characters have survived the strife and
discord of the late unhappy struggle. Among
them we may name Hon. Alexandeb H. Ste
phens and Ex-Gov. Hebschet, V. Johnson, of
Georgia, either of whom would adorn the
Cabinet of the restored Union.
The Tribune has declared itself for universal
amnesty and manhood suffrage. Now that
its party has established manhood suffrage,
for the present at least, in Georgia, will it not
consent to favor universal amnesty and
equality in-the Union? If so, will it not
allow ns to indulge in speculations about
General Gbani’s Cabinet?
it, is by nature a well-
r that balanced, calm, moderate.-'OcmseEsativa
Such will he appear as President, and those
who contemplate his being either a tool or a
tyrant reckon without their' host. -Next we
may count on Gen. Grant’s administration
being of an exceedingly practical character.
This is the essential character of his own
mind. * * Gen. Grant, without making a
great noise about it, will wim to. make his ad
ministration generally useful by economy,
by honesty, by sound judgment and common
sense. _ ' j' .
Hia Cabinet will be selected with a view to
render lijm assistance in this practical way.
The measures he will recommend to Congress
will be entirely of this sort. The finances
and the civil service will be among the fore
most of general political subjects to rece
attention, and we may safely predict that i
great word of the hour, the great feature to
strike all observers, as soon as Gen. Grant
has been a month in power, will be the con
fidence inspired in people of all parties and
all political creeds.
Grant, as a soldier, understands well the
bounds of co-ordinate and subordinate au
thority. Congress will not be suffered to en
croach nponhia prerogatives as the Execu
tive, nor he attempt to encroach upon Con
gress as the legislative department ofthe
Government A soldier is used both to com
mand and obey—an admirable training, say
what civilians will, for any administrative of
fice, from pound-keeper up to President
We'shall make bold uj predict that he will
realize more than any man who has sat in the
Chief Magistrate’s chair since Andrew Jack-
son, the Executive idea which should be the
central idea connected with the Presidency.
If Gqn. Gbant will realize this idea, says
the Albany Argus, if he will assert the func
tions of the Executive: office so asto see that
the laws are faithfully executed by subordi
nates, he will fulfill a great task. In no
country in the world are officials so corrupt,
so disproportionately paid for services, and
lax in the fulfilment of duties. Take the
department of internal revenue lor instance.
Between the large quantity of property that
escapes taxation, altogether or in part, and
the expense of the service, and the sums lost
by extortion and connivance of officials, and
the whole makes an aggregate eqnal to the
total expense of Government.
If Gen. Gbant’s military education will en
able him* to hold his subordinates to duty and
strict accountability, he will render a memor
able service to the American people. Now is
the time to set: about this great reform, and
to put a stop to abuses that have for years
been culminating till they have at last reach
ed a heighth that overshadows the land.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE FOR GRANT
: AND SEYMOUR, ■ -
A singular movement is said to be on foot
by certain politicians, having in view the
casting of the Democratic electoral votes for
Gbant. We agree with the Cincinnati En
quirer that the movement is indeed ' “singu
lar,” even in these “singular,” times. Its au
thors have not reflected upon the fact that
the electors aforesaid are but agents, casting
not their own votes, hnt the votes of the peo
ple. Every Democratic elector is under the
strongest of moral pledges to the people to
vote for Seymour and Blaib. Before he can
be released from that pledge, he would con
sider himself as an honest man,under obli
gations to consult the constituency which
elected him. This being a process some
what difficult, if not impossible in its na
ture, is not only not likely to be adopted by
the electiors, but will not be entertained.
The idea npon which it is based, that it
might infinence General Gbant'to pursue a
conservative course, is also absurd. The
Democracy will have more infinence with
Gen. Gbant by pursuing the dignified policy
of adhering strictly to their organization,
and at the same time bring it to his support
upon all questions where * he pursues a
course that will inure to the welfare of the
country. General Gbant might appreciate an
independent support so rendered, while he
would spurn any result likely to flow from
the suggestion above made, which is in the
nature of a bribe to conciliate the supposed
prejudices of the President elect.

ANOTHER NEGRO CONVENTION.
A call has been issued to the colored peo
ple to send delegates to Washington on In
auguration Day, to return thanks to “the
great party of progress. ”^If they are no better
treated than they were at Philadelphia, on
the occasion of the “Boys in-Blne,” they will
mot return with very elevated ideas of the
paternal sentiment of the great party of pro
gress. The colored troopshaving fought no

Radical Bullying and Illegal Voting ifa
Charleston.
Charleston has ever been famous for its
conservatism. The observance of law and
order is a noted characteristic of the white
population. They regarded proprieties.
The circumstances and conduct of the late
municipal election has been the severest test
to which our people have ever been pat, and
we do not hesitate to say, that, for patience
- forbearance, amiability and Christian meek
ness nnder the strongest provocations, they
stand without rivals in the South, the United
States and the world at . large. So much to
satisfy our malignera concerning our capacity
for self-control—a virtue of this region.
At the polls of the city in the guise of
deputy sheriffs, special police, etc., were
stationed Badical bullies with and without
clubs and badges. These men of peace sys
tematically and carefully questioned and
badgered colored voters. Tickets were
snatched from them, if not Badical, and the
green eagle of Fillsbury authoritatively sub
stituted. Rough words and infimidation by
manner were applied beforehand, to deter,
and jeers and objurgation,' and sometimes
blows and violence as a punishment, after the
“Citizens’ Ticket” had been voted. And the
white men did not put a stop to these Radical
proceedings, because if a row had been the
result and negroes had been slaughtered, our
people would have' been called “rebellious
and revolutionary!”
In addition to the bold interference prac
tised by the colored Radicals with the voting
of freedmen desirous of. polling the Citizens’
Ticket, numerous illegal votes were put in
the boxes and counted. Boys under age and
men from the country not domiciled in
Charleston but brought here to register and
vote, have added to the high-handed illegality
of this election.
Such is Badical freedom, and this is a
specimen of the peace we are to have.
But our people protest against the conduct
and results of the election.—Charleston

More Cannibalism in Algeria.
A fearful case of cannibalism has just come
to light in Algeria. One Ben Nacer recently
had a cow stolen from his field, and suspi
cion having fallen on an Arab named Ben
Aissa, search was made on bis premises.
Nothing of the missing animal was, however,
found; but on looking into a bush a little dis
tance from the house, a basket fall of pieces
of meat was discovered. The wife, of Ben
Aissa immediately stammered ont that they
were the remains of a donkey which her hus
band had killed the preceding night. But
she did not long persist in that story; for on
the basket being turned topsy-turvy, a num
ber of feet and hands tumbled ont! Three
heads which had been singed were next dis
covered in the same spot! The remains hav
ing been collected together,' they were imme
diately recognized by Ben Nacer and his coni:
panions as those of a woman named Ben
Youssefand her two children. The clothes
of the victims were next found' hidden in the
same bosh a little further o£ Fatima Ben
Aissa, being pressed to give some explana
tion of the afiair, made the following terrible
confessions: “My children and 1 had not
eaten anything for several days, when the
twin brothers Mohammed Ben Ail and Ka-
dour Ben Ali came to ns to propose that we
should kill and eat the children of Fatima
Ben Youssef, aged six and eight years. IVe
agreed, and forthwith put our project in exe
cution in 'a ravine situated a short distance
from fear of being denounced. The three
murders consummated, we cut the bodies up.'
The twin brothers 1 Have already named took
a part and left ns the remainder—the heads,
feet and hands being comprised in our por
tion. Assisted by my children, I forthwith
took tiie' part .Allotted me home. . I boiled a
part, which we ate, and put. the' rest aside in
order not to exhaust all our provisions in one
day! I also flayed the three heads and put
them where they have just been found.” , All
the parties concerned in this horrible afiair
have been arrested. As usual in such cases,
they each deny being the actual murderer,
and endeavor to throw the crime on anybody’s
shoulders but their own.

A Cheating and Swindling.—The

special presentment against Deputy Revenue
Collector R. W. Jaqnes, for a. (violation of the
laws of Georgia in attempting to cheat and

affiiir has .been thoroughly ventilated.
By purporting to be a. government officer, he
attempted to fleece our merchants of SI,000 ■
for alleged violations.of a late revenue law,
of which none were cognizant. Jaqnes, who,
since the war, has been Collector of United
States Revenue at this point, endorsed him
by a written certificate. Without this en
dorsement no merchant would have paid any
attention to him; font 'Jaqnes’written state

When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
>nn rtnown aa Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
their applications t e -f n t n tho world nnder the endorsement of four thou
sand leading members o f the medical profession some
20years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it
could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all
new and naefiil preparations. He, therefore, endeav
ored to invest it with strongest possible safeguards
against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to
pirate it difficult and dangerous. It was submitted to
distinguished cheininsts for analysis, and pronounced
by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its 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 ofthe preparation and are-
port of the result, accompanied each speciment. Four
thousand of the most eminent medical men in the
Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the
article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profes
sion, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary
liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less
adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes.
The peculiar ppI gu apfl strength of the oil of juni
per, which formed one of the principle ingredients of
the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of
the alcoholic element, give it, in the estimation of the
faculty, a marked superiority over every other
diffusive stimulant as a diuretic tonic and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials from professional
men 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 patant was obtained for the article* the
lable was copywrighted, a fac simile of the proprietor* s
autograph signature was attached to each lable and
cover, his name and that of the preparation were em
bossed on the bottles, and the.corks were sealed with
his private seal. No article had ever been sold in tills
country nnder the name of Schnapps prior to the in
troduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
in 1851; and the lable was deposited, as his trademark,
in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York during that year;
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
the daring character of the pirates who prey npon the
reputation of honorable merchants by -tending delete
rious trash nnder their name, that the protections so
carefully thrown around these Scnnapps would have
precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits.,
They seem, however, only to haye stimulated the
rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprie
tor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schie
dam Aromatie Schnapps alone received from the medi
cal profession has been claimed by mendacious hum
bugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad
vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing
ofthe genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them
np with common gin, the most deleterious of all
liquors, and thus made his name 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 jthe undersigned, in-Schiedam,
Holland, is distilled from a barley bf the finest quality,
and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of
the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By & process
unknown in tiie preparation bf any other'liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious arid corrosive element.
Complaints have , been received from the leading
physicians and families in'the Southern States of the
sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic:
Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in
frhn habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful in
fluence of unwholesonm river water, testify that cheap
gin, put rip in Schiedam botfles, is frequently palmed;
off upon tiie unwary. The agents of the undersigned
have been requested to institute inquiries on the sub
ject, and to forward to him tho names of such parties
as they may ascertain to' be engaged in tiie atrocious
system of deception. . In conclusion, the undersigned'
would say that he has produced, from under the bands
of the most distinguished men of science iri' America,
proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal ex
cellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he
has expended numy thousand dollars in surrounding
it vpth guarantees. $md safeguards/which he designed
should protect the public and himself against fr&dulent
imitations; that ho has shown it to be the only liquor
in the world.that can bo unifprmly depended npon as
unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation,
analysis, comparison, and experiment to all its forms:
and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his
name, seal arid trade mark, has come off triumphant!
He therfore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens
ally,-to the medical profession and the sick; to
denounce arid expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press
and the public to aid him to his efforts to remedy so
great an evflL ‘t* *' . v / /

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Deab Shi: I have made a chemical examination of
a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent
o$ determining if any foreign or injurious substance
^ud been* added to the simple distilled spirits.
The examination has resulted in the conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which srp employed to the
adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to nse
myself or to recommend to Others, for medical pur
poses, the Schiedam Schnapps as on excellent and un
objectionable variety of gin. • .
Very respectfully yours,

Deab Sm: I bave submitted to chemical analysis
two bottles of “Schiedam Schnapps,” which I took
from a fresh package in your bonded warehouse, and
find, as before, that the spirituous liquor is free from
injurious ingredients or falsification; that it has the
marks of being aged and not recently prepared by
mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,
FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist.

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.:
Deab Sib: Tho want of pure Wines and Liquors for
medicinal purposes has been long felt by the profes
sion, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by
the use of adulterated articles. Delirium tremens,
and other diseases of the brain and nerves, so rife to
this - country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a
great degree, to the difference to the purity of the
spirits sold. .
We have tested the several articles imported and
sold by you, including yonr Gin, which yon sell un
der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which
we consider justly entitled to the high reputation it
has acquired in this country; and from your long ex-
jerience as a foreign importer,your Bottled Wines and
liquors should meet with tho same demand.- /_
We would recommend you to appoint some of the
respectable apothecaries in different parts of the city
as agents for the sale of vopr Brandies and Wines,
where the profession cap obtain the same when need
ed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success to your new enterprise, 1
