Since it became known that the Democrat. } ic majority at the late election in this State * was so overwhelmingly large as to preclude - the possibility af manipulating the vote in | the official count so as to elect the Radical j Electors, we have had intimations from Radi- S cal sources at home and at the North that ? the vote of the State would be thrown put of ; the Electoral College on the ground that the 1 election was carried by means of intimidation , and violence. To give some pretext for such an act of usmpation/’outrage and injustice, ? it was necessary to “ work- up " a case, to , trump up some sort of evidence in securing j justification of the meditated hand. For i this purpose, the carpet-baggers and scala- | wags, with their Bureau officials and unscrn- . puions presses and letter writers, have’ been J i busily engaged in the work of manufacturing ( partizan reports, lying affidavits, and the ’ most unmitigated slanders, which are no { acrabt already forwarded to the Cohgression- i al Committee at Washington to be paraded j before the country in justification of the ex clusion of the vote of Georgia. As a specimen of the candor and fairness I ofthe official testimony which is being fur- i pished by the Preedmen’s Bureau, we give • the following report, which we find published i in the scalawag c^ah at Augusta, -with a . batch of similar documents: KuBEAU R.

This conduct proved conclusively their desire to avoid all disturbance, while, from mingling with the masses at the polls, it was evident that they desired nothing more than a repeti- . tion of the morning’s scenes.. The crowning point of their chivalrous con- * duct was at dark.

Snch occurrences among us would be howled over immensely, and cited to the world as proof of the fearful de moralization of the Sonth. We copy from the Boston Post of Saturday last: A young lady telegraph operator at Far mington, Me., disappeared from home in Au gust, and nothing was heard from her until some three weeks ago, when her corpse ar rived at Farmington by express. Her father at the same time received a letter from a man in this State, stating that she died of con sumption, and containing many pions words of consolation to the bereaved parents. The letter also contained a paper, purporting to be the certificate of the attending physician, to the effect that the young lady died of con sumption. The suspicious circumstances connected with the case led to a post-mortem examination, which proved that the deceased had recently been relieved from a state of ad vanced pregnancy; and that the abortion pro duced was the cause of her death. One Mrs. Robinson charged her husband with the ruin of his step-daughter Erie, and the destruction of her health by an operation intended to conceal the fruits of his crime. Dr. Robincon, who was not bronght to trial, denies the accusation, and alleges that his wife, whom he supposed to be a widow at the time of. their marriage, has a husband now living, and that she trumped up the story to account for the separation which ensued upon his discovery of the bigamy. The most curi ous part of his statement, however, is con tained in a number of letters from a young man in Peoria, addressed to his step-daugh ter. The Peorian had read the account of the affair in the Chicago papers, and thereupon wrote that he wanted to “marry some girl who had been ruined, and to place such a wo man again in a higher position.” Dr. Robin son answered in the name of his step-dangh- ter, and the philanthropic young man was in duced to appoint the wedding day, and is yet undeceived. An old man named Aaron Bliss, living in Monson. Mass., was attacked in his house yesterday morning by three men, knocked senseless and robbed of about $50 in cash, and several hundred dollars in United States bonds. Murder in Bryan County. [Correspondence of the Morning News.] Bbyan County, Ga., November 23, 1868. Editors Morning Rexes: A most brutal and cold-blooded murder was committed on Saturday, the 21st inst., at Brannon’s store, Bryan county, which has created a tremendous excitement among our .people. The circumstances of the affair were these: William Cone, a person well-known in Sa vannah, who was a conscript officer during the late war, has been living, for some time past, on a plantation owned by Hiram Rob erts, Esq., of Savannah, situated at Wright’s Bridge, Bulloch county. He made himself objectionable to residents of the neighbor hood in various way, and they wrote to Mr. Roberts, requesting that he would remove Cone from the place, and recommending Mr. Allen Phillips, a small farmer of Bulloch county, and .a man respected in the commu nity, .as a worthy person to be placed in charge of the plantation. Mr. Roberts complied with the request, but Cone refused to leave; and since that time he has exhibited a great deal of ill-feeling towards Phillips. On Saturday last Phillips was standing in the store of Mr. Brannon, when Cone came in, walked up to him, and. without a word, felled him to the ground with a club. The blow caused a terrible fracture of the skull, from the* effects of which Mr. Phillips died, about twelve honrs after the occurrence. Cone immediately fled, and is still at large. Mr. Phillips was o very worthy farmer, well-known, and of good position in the com munity. He leaves a wife and six small chil dren, who were entirely dependent upon his industry for support. The citizens of Bal- loch county are in hopes that the Governor will offer a liberal reward for the apprehen sion of the murderer, that he may be cap tured and brought to justice. On Sunday William A. Brennon, Esq., act ing Coronor, summoned a jury, composed of the following well-known citizens: Curtis S. Martin, JqIirG. Slater, Seaborn M. Cowart, Abner A. Fudge, Joseph Glisson, and John C, Davis. Df- W. T. McConnell examined .wMndiiapd after hearing the testimony "Mftfcgsses the jury returned a ver- eased came to his death at A.

General Grant’s Cabinet and Future Pol icy.—A correspondent of the Chicaco Times informs that journal that Gen. Grant has written a letter to Gen. Slocum, congratula ting him on his election to Congress, and in timating that there will not probably be any thing in the next administration which a moderate Democrat may not support. At the same time the impression gains strength here that Gen. Grant will select his Cabinet from moderate Radicals, hoping by this means to make a conservative policy acceptable to the Republican party. The report that coolness exists between Gen. Grant and Mr. Washburne is denied. Cat’s Claws.—The Church Union, an extreme Radical (so-called religions) journal of the ultra Puritan persuasion, in its issue of this week, thus discloses the daws under the vel vet paw, which is ready to pounce on Grant if he does not do thus and so : Beware of David Dudley Field. We see him consulting with certain Conservative Re publicans, such as Seward, Evarts, &c., to take charge of General Grant. If General Grant is shrewd he will keep an eye on these bounty-jumpers.

Middle Georgia, November 23, 1868. What is the Central Railroad going to do? Rather, what is it not going to do ? It is a great power in this Southern land—perhaps outstripping all its rivals, and like every as sociation, sometimes a little wilful in its operations. •‘Oh! it Is excellent To have » giant’s strength; but tt is tyrannous To use it lihe s giant.'* The Upper Creeks have the most sublime faith in the wealth and resources of the Company of which Mr. Wadley is President —would I could add, “and in its general good nature and beneficence; ” but, alas! corporations have no sonls, or, very often, just sonls enough to be cross-grained and crabbed, at the same time that they display intellect and sagacity of the most exalted order. No particular act of the particular Association in qnestion is now alluded to, but I am dealing in general ’ principles The sober truth is, that we, of this section, do consider the Central Railroad all-powerful, and we catch up every whisper, every chance remark made by the most obscure employee of the road, whether he be fireman, brake- man or track-raiser, as an oracular utterance. We look upon them as indicative of the de signs of the Head-Centres, as showing in what direction those in power will extend their ramifications and their benefits. For instance, the people of Putnam county have long wished for an extension from Ea- tonton to Madison. Before the war - they were able to build it themselves, but they had sense enough to know that it would be worse than useless to embark capital in that enterprise unless the Central Railroad would take hold of it, and either incorporate it with their stock, or at least guarrantee them a cer tain per cent., as was done in the case of the Eatonton Branch. They know that for a host of reasons, which it is useless to enn- umerate, no short road ran in opposition to the wishes of a long, rich one with which it connects, or even independent of it, can avoid ruinous sacrifices, and, in time, bank ruptcy. Hence, they have looked, first, to the Georgia road, then to the Central. At the same time, they do not expect the exten. sion to benefit Eatonton, but this gap shonld be filled up for the convenience of the peo ple. The fact ie, we have been spoiled by railroad accommodations. La olden times, a ten-day trip to Augusta and back, with a load of cotton, was a frolic. A hundred miles on horseback, or, in rather more modem times, in a baggy, was looked on as a trifle. Now, twenty-two miles from Eatonton to Madison, over adhesive plaster roads, is looked upon by the travellers with unutterable horror; and the citizen of Milledgeville or Sparta, or the wanderer who happens to be at either place, that wishes to reach a point on the Georgia Railroad, will go aronnd by Atlanta or Au gusta, rather than encounter the formidable gap between Eatonton and Madison. Build it up, Mr. Wadley. Savannah will get a great deal of cotton then from the up per part of Putnam, and nearly half of Mor gan, together with part of Jasper, that now goes to Augusta, and the Central Railroad will have the carrying of it, and get many a passenger that it now leaves, besides. Bat we hear something of an air-line road from near Sandersville, or from Davisborongh to Atlanta. That would not help the Put nam people a great deal Again, it is said the road will be run from Number 13, near Sandersville, to Milledgeville, the road to Ea tonton will continue in use, then it will be extended to MonticeUo, and thence to Atlan ta ! Oh ! how this would rejoice the hearts of the Jasper county people ! They have never had a railroad, and most of them have -long since conclnded that they never will have one—that they are given over to road- wagons, and fine buggies and horses for the balance of time. Doubtless a line something like the last two mentioned, would pay the Central better than the one from Eatonton to Madison; fora road between Eatonton and Milledgeville would not enable the Central to control the freights from Atlanta. It seems that the Macon & Western ’Road does not satisfy the Central Road in the matter of freights, so the latter concludes to build its own line to Atlanta, and thns have complete power in its own hands; or is the shrewd Wadley playing a game of bluff to induce the other road to come to terms ? Perhaps he is thus fer in earnest—that if the Mhcoh & Western continues stubborn, then he will carry out the plan mentioned: but otherwise, otherwise. "If this be. the state of .the case, may the “Imp of the Perverse” inspire the Macon & Western, and retain complete pos- session. of its faculties till we Middle Geor gians have one more railroad built through our country. Subsqhciub. Bay of Santana. The French Courrier, of New York, has; from a source usually well-informed, the fol lowing in relation to the acquisition of the Bay of Samana by the United- States. — The American Minister at Port-au-Prince, Mr. Hollister, changed his ostensible hostil ity to Salnave to open protection, on condi tion that Mr. Hollister and certain American merchants shonld snpply Salnave with ships of war, officered by Americans, and besides receive aid from an American ship of war to put down his rebels; that Salnave should use his influence with the Dominican President, Beaz, to induce him to cede Samana to the United States; that, in case of refusal; which was not expected, Salnave should cede Saint Nicholas. Both" parties kept their word. Samana has been ceded to a wealthy merchant in New York, (W. F.,) to be hereafter trans ferred to the United States Government. The whole affair was conducted very secretly; but now that it is becoming known, the patriotic blacks are indignant at the dismemberment of their country, and swear that the cession shall not take place.' Salnave is tiying to throw the blame on Baez, and thereby save himself; but Africa is aroused, and will not be swindled and robbed either by mulattoes or whites. General Grant’s Fortune.—The Wash ington correspondent of the St. Louis Demo crat, says: “Gen, Grant is rich already,' and by cau tions investments he is destined to be very rich one day, ranking with the most opulent. He owns thirty-eight acres of land within the corperate limits of Washington, worth $2,000 an acre. His house here is held at" $60,000. A farm near St Louis and bouses at Galena and in Philadelphia should add $100,000 to the former items. Three hundred thousand dollars will probably not be in excess of the President elect’s possessions. Meantime his commercial training and fondness for ma terial speculations added to his good luck and cantion, are exemplifying themselves in ju dicious operations in many honorable fields. - It is altogether probable that we shall have in Gen- Grant a President, who, exercising all due liberality and hospitality in the Chief Magistracy, will be the first President since Washington to be discreet and practical in the management of his private fortune. His comparative youth will permit him, shonld he live to the average age of Presidents, thirty years duration after the expiration of his term of office. Highway Robreey.—A negro was arrested yesterday, near Buck Head, charged with committing a highway robbery upon the per son of Mr. John Cones, an old citizen of Morgan county. The negro deliberately at tacked Mr. Cones, knocking him in the"head, rendering him helpless, when he robbed the old gentleman of thirty-six dollars, all the money he had on his person. The negro is now in the jail of our city, awaiting trial. This is one of the most daring robberies ever perpetrated in tLia county, and the offender shonld be summarily dealt with.—Madison (Ga.) Auditor. goto. OFFICE OF UDOLPHO WOLFE, Sole Importer of the Sckledom Aromatic Schnapps, 22 Beaver Street, BTew Norte, Nov. 3, 180*. To the People of the Southern States. When the pore medicinal restorative, now so widely known aa Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced into the world onder the endorsement of four thou sand leading membera of the medical profession sc 20 years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful 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 cheminsts for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pu rity and properties having been thus ascertained, sam ples of fixe article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes of erperimen. circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a re port of the result, accompanied each speciment. Four thousand of the most .minunt medical men in the Union promptly responded. -52xeir opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a prepara tion, they said, had long been wanted by the proffes- • 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 exceleuce and strength of the oil of juni per, whioh fanned one of the principle ingredients of fhp. 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 satis&ctory 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 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 this country ppfler 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 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 the 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 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; alter disposing of the geixnine contents of his bottles, have filled them up 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 the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. 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 leading physicians and families in the Southern Slates of the sale of cheap imitations of tile Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful in fluence of unwhplesome 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 bo engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal ex cellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed shouldprotect the public and himself against fradulent imitations; that 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 the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He therfore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and the side, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all thuy are represented to be.
