THE CARPET-BAGGERS FABRICA
TING LIES FOR NORTHERN CIRCU
LATION.
The telegraph gives ns the important in
formation that the scalawag organ in Augusta
contains an anonymous communication pur
porting to give accounts of Ku Klux outrages
in Warren and adjoining counties. There is,
in all probability, not the slightest foundation
for the story which is fabricated in the inter
est of the miserable carpet-bag vagabonds
who are now in Washington endeavoring to
induce the Government to send txoopa to
Georgia, and who have declared it to bs the
intention of their dirty little faction to appeal
to Congress to remand the State, now that
they can rely on negro votes no longer to se
cure them in the offices, back to military
rule. Having failed to get up a collision be
tween tlie whites and blacks at the late elec
tion, they arejnow engaged in propagating
falsehoods to serve their infamous purposes.
We would suggest to tne Agent of the Asso
ciated press that it would be as well to let
these slanders reach the Northern public, for
whom they are intended, by the ordinary
course of mail.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
A correspondent of the Macon Messenger
informs that paper that at the November
term of Crawford Superior Court, held at
Knoxville last week, Hon. James W. Geeen,
of Flint Circuit, presiding, the Grand Jury
returned a true bill against one Bill Dent,
for illegal voting, the said Dent having the
of November, 1868, cast his vote for
for President of the United States,
having previously paid his taxes for
eding year. The prisoner was ar-
and plead not gnilty; when the State
id to substantiate the charge by pro-
e allegations, when the prisoner,
his counsel, J. W. Avant, B. LeSueub
'. Geeen, demurred to the testimony
ground that the prisoner was voting
under the proclamation of his Excellency,
Gov. Bullock; consequently the evidence
was illegal and inadmissible. An animated
discussion ensued. After the argument closed
the Court sustained the motion and ordered
the discharge of the prisoner, thus sustaining
the Governor’s proclamation.
So the Bullock is law in spite of the Con
stitution or the Code.
The Outgoing Cabinet.—According to the
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette, the several members of the Cabinet
are not only busy in the preparation of their
annual reports, but also in perfecting their
arrangements for private.life. Secretary Mc
Culloch goes to Europe to take charge of a
branch of Jat Cooke’s bank to be established
in London. Mr. Sewabd, having abandoned
all hope of being retained as premier under
under the next administration, retires to Au
burn on the 4th of March next to enjoy his
otiumcum digniUde. Secretary Welles says
he shall welcome the day that relieves him of
the Navy Department and allows his return
to the land of steady habits. Secretary
Browning returns to his home in Illinois im
mediately upon his retirement, and will not
hold over the thirty days allowed him under
the "civil tenure bill. Postmaster General
Randall has temporarily engaged the fur
nished residence of Pebbt Fuller, in the
absence of that gentleman, »nd Attorney Gen
eral Evaets has an eye on the Senatorial suc
cession in New York.
An Ugi^ Business.—The United States
Minister to Paraguay, Mr. Washbubne, has-
got into an ugly scrape with President Lopez.
It appears that Lopez charges him with hav
ing entered into the conspiracy for his assass
ination, and received therefor the comfortable
little snm of $140,000. The Foreign Secre
tary, Bulges, who was one of the conspirators,
and who has tumed^tate’s evidence, testifies
to the fact; and a letter, purporting to he
from one of the United States legation, Pob-
teb C. Bliss, admitting the charges against
Washbubn, is adduced in confirmation. It is
said, on behalf of Washbubne, vhat this let
ter'was extorted by torture, and that Bliss,
in letters to his friends, denies all the allega-
" tions.
As Lopez is not a man to be trifled with,
' after he heard this tale, he did not pay much
respect to the sanctify of the Embassador,
who found it convenient to leave promptly.
As the flag has been insulted, an American
war vessel has gone up the river to look after
its vindication.
Election Expenses in New York.—The
World estimates the money expended by the
Radicals on the New York State election at
one million and a hall The candidate for
Governor was bled very freely—.to the tune,
it is said, of $250,000. The whole Whisky
Ring aided. Wooley even was on hand,
talking and betting against Seymour. This
million and a half is exclusive of the expen
ditures in the Congressional canvass, where
immense sums were used. In the Buffalo
district the candidate is reported to have
spent S40.009—or nearly three dollars for
each voter. Great country! Glorious insti
tutions! ’
Indians Moving on -iw.m Reservations.—
Colonel Tappan, one of the Indian peace,
commission, has just returned to Washington
from the far West, and reports that 70,000
friendly Indians are moving on the reserva
tions provided, by treaty. The Arrapahoes,
Cheyennes, Keowas, and Comanches, number
ing some 5,000, are on the war path, and the
army is in motion against them. Colonel
Tappan thinks that speculating traders and
other whites are, to a great degree • responsi
ble for the offensive attitude assumed by the
latter tribes.
Grant’s Adn
AUON—So MOTE IT BE.—
We saw-clay before yesterday* private letter
from a gentleman in high political position,
and a warm personal and political friend of
GenTGEANTi - It is asserted, if the South was
quiet and opposed no fractious opposition,
Gen. Grant would give her a liberal, concil
iatory administration, which would satisfy all
reasonable men.—Macon Telegraph.
Incendiarism.—The Macon Telegraph learns
that the gin-house and eighty hales of cotton,
on the plantation of Col. It A. Jordan, in
Lee county, was horned on Tuesday morn
ing last. Loss estimated at $12,000. Cir
cumstances indicate that it was an act of the
incendiary.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION.
There are many rumors afloat in regard to
the political disorders now existing in Cnba,
by some termed an insurrection, by others a
revolution. According to some accounts the
movement is only an outbreak of a. few
desperate malcontents and adventurers who
have taken advantage of the recent success
ful revolution in the mother country to-in
dulge their propensities for license and plun
der. Some represent it as another filibuster
enterprise, having its origin and head in tbia
country, and for its object the annexation
of the Island to- the United State*—while
others represent it os a formidable revolution
on the part of thenative'Cubans,in pursuance
of their determination to relieve themselves
from the unjust oppressions of the Spanish
government With no certain knowledge as
to the true status of affairs in Cuba or of the
views and wishes of the Cuban people, the
Northern jiress is discussing the question of
annexation, some deprecating the acquisition
of the Island, as it would add several millions
of blacks to the present colored population
who threaten to Africanise the Southern
States, others hailing it as providing a refuge
to which the blacks of the South might bo
induced to emigrate en masse, and where
“they might live iu idleness and in a semi-
savage state, under the protection of the stars
and stripes.”
A writer in the Baltimore Gazette, evidently
an intelligent Cuban, throws some/light on
this subject, showing very clearly that .not
only is the present movement a revolution for
Cuban independence, but also that annexa
tion to the United States does not enter into
the designs of the revolutionists. Tracing
the efforts of the Caban people to throw, off
the Spanish yoke, from the first attempt in
1822 down to the ill-fated expedition under
General Lopez in 1851, closing with the
breaking up of the expedition organized by
General Quittman in 1853, the writer asserts
that annexation never was a favorite'project
with a majority of the Cubans. He says they
consented to it as a last resort in 1853, when
they would have come in as one of the States
of the American Union, ‘^wheeled into line
naturally by the side of the slave-holding
States, with whom they had a community of
interests, and helped to fix the balance of
power in the National Congress."
But the changes which have taken place
in this country, not less than those which
have affected the relations of Cnba with the
mother country, have changed the views ol
the Caban people in regard to the policy of
annexation. The Cubans no longer look to
such an expedient, though they have never
renounced their hopes of freedom, and have
only awaited their opportunity. We give
the conclusion of the writer’s article:
Now, in 1868, the opportunity presents it
self,and in what maimer ? It is brought abont
by an incident which recalls to the mind the
early days of the American revolution. Two
Cuban planters, Messrs. Aguileras and Ces-
pedes, refuse to submit any longer to the ex
tortions of greedy officials; soldiers arc sent
to take possession of their property and their
persons; they arm their slaves and make a
successful resistance. Their neighbors join
them, and the revolution is inaugurated. The
cup was full; one drop caused it to overflow.
The speed with which this small band of
rebels has increased to an army capable of
defying the royal forces is proof evident that
the slumber in which the revolutionary party
had remained during the past fifteen years
only served to conceal its steadily increasing
influence.
“ The peaceful revolution accomplished in
Spain was almost simultaneous with these
events. Had General Lersundi proclaimed
immediately his adhesion to the new Govern
ment, the revolutionary movement in Cuba
would have died in its incipient state—there
would have been nothing to overthrow.. But
the course of the Captain General was calcu
lated to excite suspicion; he acted as the
faithful subject of Queen Isabella might be
expected to act; and thp result was that the
moderate party, who wonld have been per
fectly content with the privileges gained by
the overthrow of the Queen’s Government,
threw themselves into the arms of the, revo
lutionists. The patriots are not -fighting
against a monarchy which no longer exists,
but against General Lersundi. They want to
govern their own affairs, to take the reins in
their hands, and wait for the further develop
ment of events in the mother country.
There can be no doubt thatif a repnblio
-was established in Spain the people of Cuba
would accept the situation—provided they
were guaranteed their rights and privileges.
But there is little prospect that a republic
could live in Europe, and a simple change oi
dynasty, with constitutional guarantees,
seems to be the aim of the Spanish leaders.
Should this be effected, Spain will lose her
colonies—not by the act of Cubans alone, hut,
because the republican party of Spain will
throw their influence with the colonists.
There will be no distinction between Span
iards and Creoles, but between republicans
and royalists. To these the old homestead of
the Pelagi, with its glorious memories; to
those the bequest of Columbus. Here the
future; there the past
‘Such is the situation, such the hopes of
the Cubans, the dream for which Narciso Lo-
>ez gave his life. Few think of annexation.
iVhat wonld they gain by it ? A mere change
of masters. They want constitutional liberty,
and the events of the past seven years have
shown them that they are not to look for it
in the land of Washington. Thby know that
slavery is doomed; they do not' wish to per
petuate it; but neither do they wish to see
negro supremacy in their fair land. They do
not wish to set loose suddenly the hordes of
African savages whom they hold in bondage.
They are not prepared to bny the title of
American citizens at the cost of rained homes,
violated women and murdered children.
They will free the negro in a manner bene-
dal to him, bnt not hurtful to themselves.
The Cubans do not beg for admission into
the Union. They do not encourage conquer
ing expeditions. They invite all true lovers of
liberty to assist them in securing their inde
pendence; and this effected, to take up their
abode with them, and enjoy together, in
peace and security, the blessings of a free gov
ernment based npon justice and right They
want no agitators, no fanatics, no “carpet-

RADICAL EFFORTS TO PREVENT IM
MIGRATION TO THE SOUTH
The London Daily Dews, an English Radi'
cal journal, has a correspondent in New
York who furnishes it with the same sort
of matter that is so acceptable to the Radi
cal press in this country. In one of his let
ters he thus describes the condition of things
in Texas:-? .-zam■ » *
“The accounts from the Sonth do not
change materially. In Texas, society may be
said to be dissolved, at least outside one or
two'Of the laigBr towns. - The only safety for
anybody is to ‘
the Federal 1
ground they
in the hands of mots, who murder and bum
houses at their will; and they, too, act under
no recognized head, or in accordance with
any fixed plan. This wonld be more dread
ful if it were much of a change, hut it is not
—things were as bad as this during the war,
and not very much better before it"
A Liverpool firm seeing thin extraordinary
statement, addressed a letter to the Hon.
Revebdy Johnson, asking whether it was true
that such a frightful picture fairly represented
Texas. This firm, as the agent of a steam
ship line running between Liverpool and Gal
veston, was naturally desirous of knowing
whether emigrants to Texas were likely to be
murdered immediately upon their arrival.
Mr. Johnson replied as follows:
“No. 4, Upper Portland Place, Oct 30.
“Sir:—The letter from New York pub
lished in the Daily News of the 16th instant,
to which your, note of the 16th instant calls
my attention, I have read. As its statements
are calculated to injure the interests of Texas,
and as I am satisfied that they are unfounded,
I feel bound to comply with your request,
left the United States on the 1st of Angnst,
and for years immediately preceding was a
member of the Senate of the United States.
In that capacity it was my duty to inform
myself of the condition of toe Southern
States, and this I did from sources npon
which I knew that full reliance could be
placed; and toe knowledge tons obtained
enables me to say that the statements in the
letter referred to are unfounded. That there
are acts of violence in that State is no doubt
true, but mot more, I believe, than occur in
either of tho other States, or in any other
country. I have no doubt, therefore, that
emigrants into the State will be as safe as in
any other part of the Union. I remain, sir,
very respectfully, your obedient Servant, j.
‘ 'Revebpy Johhson. ”
Tho publication of his letter in this coun
try, says toe Baltimore Gazette, has been re
ceived with a volley of execration and abuse
from toe Radical journals. His refusal to
endorse all Radical falsehoods about the
South has subjected him to unmeasured in
vective. The Baltimore American, chiming
in with loader and more important organs,
says he is “ giving Texas a first-class recom
mendation as a peaceful and orderly State,
and defending his friends, the rebels, from
toe charge of outrages and murders which
we all know to be rife there, bnt which Mr.
Johnson has toe effrontery to deny out and
out.”
A citizen of Baltimore once asked, under
somewhat similar circumstances, “Is there
no such thing as a fact ?” We feel very much
inclined now to answer in toe negative. A
scribbler in New York writes to an English
paper in Texas “toe only safety for anybody
is to be found inside the quarters of the .Fed
eral troops, and they hold only toe ground
they encamp on.” To this and other lies of toe
same sort, Mr. Johnson gives a flat denial, and
for 60 doing Mr. Johnson is denounced os a
defender of outrage and murder. Truth may
be “mighty,” but it does not “prevail” alto
gether in these days.
THE DUTY AND THE INTEREST OF
THE SOUTH.
The “Mobile Merchants' Exchange Prices Cur
rent ” contains the following timely and ju*
dicious remarks, touching alike the duty and
interest of Southern planters, which we com
mend to all:
In view of toe near approach of a finan
cial panic in toe North, and on , uncertainty
attending toe status of itinerant buyers and
drummers, scattered throughout the Southern
States, it would he an act of abundant cau
tion for planters to send their crops to South
ern markets, and-through known houses, for
sale, or to be held subject to their orders.
The South has lost her political status, let her
take care that she does not sacrifice her com
mercial and cotton interest in a too crednlons
belief that toe large cities of the North will
pay comparatively more than they can get in
home markets. This may bo appreciated
now, but when toe average returns of the
season are known, toe planting interest will
learn to its loss that there is no sentiment
alism in money or business.”
Besides, remarks toe Charleston Courier,
what a mine of wealth are our planting
friends allowing to dispense toe benefits
which accrue from its negotiation by, and among
others, instead of themselves, and their own lo
calities. Take toe hundreds of millions in
produce, which are wrought out of the soil, by
toe Sonth this year, equal to jnst so much
gold, the foundation of your foreign ex
changes, and think for a moment how yon
are giving all the immediate and collateral
advantages which accompany and follow its
negotiation, for the enrichment other of sec
tions and the proportionate impoverishment of
your own ! Shall we never learn wisdom ?

Mail advices from Puerto Principe to Octo

having a population of seven thousand, was

OF THE CHARLESTON
MERCURY.
The telegraph, a day or two since, an
nounced toe suspension of this time-honored
journal. Supposing at toe time that toe sus
pension was only temporary, we made no
allusion to it _We regret to learn from the
Courier, of Thursday, that the publication of
the Mercury has been discontinued under cir
cumstances which will render its suspension
indefinite, if not final For the past thirty
years no newspaper in toe country has occu
pied a more prominent position, or exerted
a greater influence in the world of politics
than the Charleston Mercury. Ever toe able
and fearless advocate and champion of con
stitutional State Bights principles, its name
will in the future be associated with toe lost
cause, with which toe true spirit of American
republicanism was extinguished.
The Courier thus speaks of its late cotem
porary :
The Charleston Mercury.—It is with re
gret that we announce toe suspension of this
valued journal of toe South. For a long se
ries of years, it has been a welcome visitor to
many hearths in our Southern land; and an
able advocate of the cause of constitntional
right In all of its principles it was fearless
and sincere. Although differing wito it, at
times during its long career, yet we cannot
bnt feel that it was ever animated by bnt one
conviction, and that a desire for what is
firmly believed to be troth and justice. Un
der toe proprietorship of Col. R. B. Rhett,
jr., and Brother, its editorials have been able
-and comprehensive. It has been one of toe
household institutions of our oity and State,
and aB such it will be missed at many a fire
side and home.
The relations between our late eotemporary
and ourselves, were of the most kindly char
acter. Not only toe community in which it
was published, bnt toe whole South, wfll re
gard with sadness,, toe disappearance of our
cotemporary from toe journalism of the land.
No newspaper in the South can live on
subscriptions. They but help to pay toe ex
penses. It is the advertising patronage that
gives success or failure to a daily journal.
And a sufficiency of this, notwithstanding toe
Mercury's large subscription lists, it did not
receive. Hence its suspension.
Odd Fellows The semi-centennial anni
versary of toe establishment of toe order of
Odd Fellows in toe United States, will occur
oh the 26to of April next The event will be
celebrated by a national fete in Philadelphia.

by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. IU pu
rity and properties having been thus ascertained, sam
ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians, including all the leading praotltlonors in
the United States, for purposes of exporimen.
circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a re
port of the result, accompanied each specimont. Four
thousand of the most eminent medics! man In the
Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the
article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by tho profes
sion, as no reliance could he plsoed on tho ordinary
liquors of commerce, all of which were more or
adulterated, and therefore unlit for medical purposes.
The peculiar excelenco and strength of tho oil of Juni
per, which formed one of tho 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 evory other
diffusive stimulant aa 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 patent Was obtained for the article, the
table was copywrighted, a fax simile of the proprietor's
autograph signature waa attached to each table 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 this
country nnser the name of Schnapps prior to' the In
troduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
to 1851; and tbe lablo was deposited, as bis trade maifc.
In the United States District Court for tho Southern
District of New York daring that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with
the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the
reputation of honorable merchants by vending delete
rious trash under their name, that tho protections so
carefully thrown around these Sconapps would have
precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits.
They seem, however, only to have stimulated the
rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of the proprie
tor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schie
dam Aromatic Schnapps alone rccclvcdfrem. the medi
cal profession has been claimed by mendacious hum-
buga; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his ad
vertisements paraphrased, his circulars copied, and
worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing
of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them
up with common gin, the most deleterious of all
liquors, and thus vnas. hia name fapmd a cover
for poison.
Tbe public, the medical profession and the sick, for
whom tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ia prescribed
ass remedy, are oqumlly 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, is distilled front * bsrioy of the finest quality,
and flavored with an essential extract or the berry of
the Italian Juniper, of .unequalled purify. By a process
unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the loading
physicians and femilles in tho Southern States of the
■ate of cheap Imitations of the Bchiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in
the habit of using it as aa 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 ay.*, of tho 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 the atrocious
ay atom of deception. In condaston, tho u
wonld say that ha hae produced, from under the hands
of the moat distinguish od men of ecienco in America,
proofs unanswerable of the purify and medicinal ex
cellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he
ham expended many thousand dollars insnmnmdhtff
It with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed
■honldprotectthspahko and himself againstftadnlmit
imitations; tost he has shown it to be the only liquor
in the world 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 tho preparation which bears hia
name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant.
He therfore feels it a duty he owes to hfe felfow-dtizeas
generally, to the medical professioii and the «icir, to
denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identify, and he calls npon the pram
and the public to mid him in his efforts to remedy so
great an evil.
The following letters and certificates the
leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove
to the reader that all goods solff by the m/imipiri

UnoLFHo Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Dsib Sib: I have made a chemical examination of
a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent
of determining if any foreign or injurious substance
had been added to the dagte spirits.
The examination has resulted to the conclusion tbs±
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of tbe
srious substances which are employed to the
adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use
myself or to recommend to others, for medical pur
poses, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and un
objectionable variety of gin.
Very respectfully yours,

Udolpbo Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Deas Sm: I have submitted to chemical analysis
two bottles of “Schiedam Schnapps.” which I took
from a fresh package to your bonded warehouse, and
find, as before, that the spirituous liquor ia free from
injurious ingredients or falsification; that it has the
marks of being aged and not recently prepared by
LTdeai admixture of alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,

DbabSis: The want of pure Wines and Liquors for
nedietoal purposes has been long felt by the profes
sion, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed br
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, to a
great degree, to the difference in the purify of the.
spirits sold.
We have tested tho several articles imported —yr
sold by you, including your Gin, which you sell co
der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which
we consider justly entitled to the high reputatkm it
has acquired to this country; and from your lone ex
perience as s foreign importer,your Bottled Wtoesand
Liquors should meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint some of the
respectable apothecaries to different parte of tho city'
aa agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines,
where the profession can obtain the same when need
ed for medicinal purposes.
shtog you success in your new enterprise,
