Wii give place to the communication of our’ . eorrespont Tax Payer in order that the pro position before Council for the purchase or lease of the ground at the foot ofDray ton street lor the purpose of making certain improve ments, may be discussed and the will of the citizens iu regard to the matter ascertained. We are aware that there are different opinions iu regard hot only to -the policy of the pro posed innovation, but also as to the authority of Council or even the Legislature to grant the permission asked by the petitioners to divert a portion of the public street to private uses.. We consider that the question is'one of expediency and right, in which Council have interests in common with our citizens, and none other. We do not think it necessa ry or proper in opposing it to impugn the "motives of the Board or of the members of it who are applicants for the ground in question, : i^phe^qbastion to. be determined is, do the business necessities of the city require the • proposed occupancy of the point indicated ‘ with business offices ? Would the change proposed be a desirable city improvement ? would it be just to the adjacent property holders? and has Council or even the Leg islature power to lease or dispose of so much of the public streets of the city to pri vate individuals? For one, we entertains • negative opinion on all these propositions. BdtiJpffiHE^jJHSrong and Council, with the aid i.f tiif Iff^shitnre, has a legal right to •i-tiute the public street to private uses, wouid be made publicly to the highest bid der, when members of the Board have the same right as any other citizen to become parties to the contract, without laying them selves liable to the imputation of using their positions to promote" their private for tunes. We feel confident that whatever may be the prevailing opinion as to the ex- . pediency, propriety or legality of the pro posed lease or sale of the ground at the foot ' of Drayton street, no portion of our citizens • will impute other than honorable motives to the gentlemen who make the present appli cation to Council. Upon another matter which we think has nothing to do with Sthe merits of the question under, consideration, we disagree with our correspondent. He re minds the present Board of Aldermen that they “hold their offices not by legal tenure of ’ election and due qualification.” If this is urged as a disqualification for the transaction of the business under consideration, the dis qualification would apply as well to all their acts as a Municipal Board. The present Mayor and Board of Aldermen were elected by the citizens of Savannah to their present posi tions, and if they have held over beyond the term for which they were elected, it is be cause the 'compliance with the law in the case ‘ they have continued to hold ‘‘until their suc cessors shall be duly elected and qualified.” They are in their positions in conformity to law and in obedience to the known wishes of a large majority of their fellow citizens, who ' r esteem it fortunate for pur city that we were ' not subjected to the mockery of an election iJviw time when our city government,' like ' those of many of our sister cities, must have fallen to the control of corrupt and unprinci- . plea aliens andjplunderers. It is well known ' too. that members of the Board, while the State “’was under mititary rule, continued to serve against their own inclinations and to the pre- t v jjdico pf ibeir private • interests, > rather than ivy resigning give their places, t$>. dfinoxidus appointees of the militaity shtrap. ‘We con sider that our' citytas bden fortunate in re- (ainiug-the services of 'ft,Board of Aldermen of their, own : choice, and that in addition to .at. the , acknowledged legality of the tenure of i their offices, they are entitled to the gratitude of their fellow citizens whom they have so faithfully, served. WKjle on the subject, we will briefly allude to a sugg^stion.of our correspondent, which . we/in part, most cordially endorse. We re fer to his proposition to build a new City .Kail, We see no necessity for demolishing - ' the oid Exchange, which we think could he ."•made a source of revenue to the city, and „ though not remarkable for the beauty of its architecture, .should be preserved as a relic - ofthppast. ; ; We certainly need a new City Hall, one . worthy of. modern Savannah, and though the city may.not now be in circumstances to jus tify the commencement of a proper structure, not too soon to direct public attention to the subject; or totake the.initiatpry .steps to wards its final accomplishment. Savannah ■ nfeeds a City Hall, to he located in a central position,-and large enough, and so construct ed as to accommodate, not only the City Go- rjyeminent, But abp the offices and business of ’ the county, with a public Hall worthy of the city. In'tins structure the city and county •should unite. The present unsightly and in convenient Court House could then be dis ced with, while the present Exchange lid. be'with little alteration, converted into * pen LteCOU . a MercbantslEschange, to be enlarged here after, if necessity should require. The reve nues from tins building with :the sale of the present Court House, would aid ma- • : "terially' in the erection of the ' new structure,, and if the City should con-' troctabuilding loan for the erection of the ne w City Hall, with a Town Hall and .offices, its revenues ■would soou cancel the debt. ,^ Weiaye'said.tHs.new-CityHall shotddoc cupy a central position; There is but one such cite in the city, which is both: capacious enough and central. That is the cite of the ’ present United'“ 'States Arsenal. In a few years this lotrwill bo almost the very centra of Savannah. No doubt, in view of its great , V 'importance to the’ city,- tb.e United; States Government could be ' induced to exchange . , it,for a larger and more suitable location for an Arsenal in the vicinity of the city. It is to be hoped that in the next Congress the First Congressional District will have a Representative in Congress, to whom the ne gotiation for the exchange of the present Arsenal lot for another better suited to the purposes of the Government, might be en- come indispensable. AUGUSTA CITY ELECTION, The Augusta municipal election takes place on Wednesday next, and is exciting great in terest in our sister city, whose people have been so long subjected to earpet-bag and scalawag government. The Registry up to Saturday shows 1,813 white and 1,821 colored voters. The whites have out a strong ticket, and are hopeful of certain triumph. They have the best wishes of the houest white men of Georgia. The following is the People’s Ticket : For Mayor, H. F. Russell. For Aldermen, T. G. Barrett, Josiah Sibley, John U. Meyer, W. S. Jones, Jno. M. Clark, J. V. H. Allen, Jus. T. Gardiner, Wm. H. Tutt, Chas. Spaetb, W. J2. Jackson, Wm. H, Goodrich, Jas. Gargan. The following is the Scalawag Ticket: For Mayor, Foster Blodgett. For Aldermen, Sam Levy. T. N. Philpot, Henry- Stallings, E. Tweedy, Peyton Rhodes, William Gibson, Ben. Conley, Frank Taylor, Dr. Powell (?). J. E. Davis, John Reynolds, Baker. The Chronicle of yesterday says: “General T. W. Sweeney, with two companies 10th Infantry, arrived from Atlanta yesterday morn ing. We understand that ho will remain here uutil after the election. General Sweeney is au officer and a gentleman whom the people of Augusta respect, and iu whom they repose confidence.” Government Gold to be Sold in St. Lou is.—For the relief of the merchants iu St Louis, who make representations that they have difficulty iu procuring gold for the pay ment of import duties, the Secretary of the Treasury has authorized the Assistant Treas urer of the United States at St. Louis to sell, until further orders, not exceeding S’25,000 of gold per week to importers, for the payment of customs and duties. A similar regulation at this port would be a great accommodation to those of our mer chants who are called upon to pay duties on imports. We understand that a large amount of gold duties has been paid into the Custom House here within the last quai’ter, which has been sent to New York by the Col lector, in pursuance of present government regulations, thus necessitating our inerehants to buy gold in New York to meet their Cus tom House payments, which gold is immedi ately shipped to New York to he sold agaiu for the same purpose. If the Collector of this port was authorized to sell enough gold here at the market rates to pay duties, both the government and the business public would be relieved from the needless risk, freights, and other expenses attendent upon the pres ent mode of doing business. We doubt not—the same reasons for a change existing here'that exist in St. Louis— the government will, on proper representa tion, authorize the same accommodation to our merchants that is granted to the mer chants of that city. We presume it is only necessary for the Collector here to apply to the Treasury Department for authority to sell monthly a sufficient amount of gold to pay the duties on imports. Gen. Sherman says the Indians cannot live on the plains with the whites, owing, of course, to the natural incompatibility of race, they not being up to the negro standard of natural refinement. He proposes that the Government shall remove them and buy their lands., The Mobile Register suggests that the Government organize the carpet baggers into a corps and send them to fight the Indians. The editor thinks the carpel-bag gentry would steal all their lands iu forty days if turned loose and the Government will pay for the job. Our Georgia carpet-baggers could hardly be induced to embark in such an en terprise. They much prefer sneaking about the negro-kitchens of our cities and swind ling the freedmen out of what little they have got It’s a much safer business than fighting Indians. It is known that parties are in Washington City, having in view certain matters which call for Government aid through the action of Congress this winter, and some of them have been bold enough to make application for Gen. Grant’s endorsement -of them and their business. In all cases, says the Express, they have failed; tkd President' eliftjt pel-sis- . tently refusing to .give jtligm his. countenance. At this time, when the national finances are in.a condition-requiring the most’economical management and strictest skill to prevent a tremendous panic, it might be imagined that •any effort to secure Grant’s endorsement to ' sfchemes which' will draw money out of the Treasury is futile. Suffrage.—At the recent Woman’s Suffrage Convention, in Boston, Senator Wilson stated that, under the fourteenth article (the amend ment) of the Constitution of the United States, he would have no hesitation iu voting for an act of Congress to give the colored men in every State the right to vote. He added, how r ever, that as many persons did not place this construction upon the fourteenth article, there would have to be another amendment submit ted. Iu bis opinion the Constitution could be so amended that the right of suffrage, in six or eight months, will be secured to the colored men all over the land. Destitution in St. Louis.—Mayor Thomas, ' of St. Louis, reports that he has already ex pended one thousand dollars more than the poor appropriation for the year ending next April, and yet the season of poverty has not yet-fairly commenced. Upon his lists are four thousand fajnilies, comprising twelve thousand men, women and children, who re quire monthly aid. Besides the city, the charitable societies have expended nearly $30,000 the present year, and find their re sources failing. The mayor calls upon the council to make farther appropriations. Supreme Court Decisions.—We have re ceived from Mr. N^J- Hammond, Reporter, a copy of the Reports of Decisions of the Su preme Court of Georgia, December Term, 1867. The volume, which comprises four hundred pages, is printed with fair type, on good paper, and is one of the finest specimens of book printing we have ever seen executed in Georgia. It is from the press of Messrs, j. W. Burke <5: Co. ,',Macon. ‘ " . - ► ♦«>•»< ' Compulsory Education, according to a re cent speech of the Marquis of Salisbury, is repugnant to the idea of liberty, and tends to lessen the manliness of the English charac ter. On the continent of-’Europe, he admit ted, authority was exercised with evident ad vantage in compelling attendance at school, but in those countries the policemen took charge of the inhabitants from the cradle to the grave. , ,, —— Ex-President Pierce. —A letter received hi Washington from ex-President PmncE, dated at -Concord, New Hampshire, Saturday, No vember 21, says: “I was quite free from pain yesterday, and am measurably so to-day. If the weather shall be favorable to-morrow, I hope to put my foot beyond the outer thres hold, which I have not done for three weeks." to come off according to law. The Constitu tion of Saturday says: We are informed that the City Council, at the regular meeting last night, passed a reso lution postponing the impending municipal election. The ground taken is, that under the present Charter of the city, negroes are not recognized as voters; that the Constitu tion enfranchised negroes; that the Charter is, therefore,' in conflict with the present laws, and that if the election were allowed to be held under the present Charter, negroes would, of necessity, be excluded from the polls. _ The action of the Council is not only a usurpation of authority; but an insult to the understanding of the people. The constitu tional provision and the act of the Legislature enfranchising the negro, repeals and annuls whatever there is in the Charter to exclude the negro from voting, but invalidates the Charter itself in no other conceivable way; and Council has just as much right to abolish the Charter altogether as it has to repudiate any portion of it, other than that which di rectly conflicts with the Constitution and Legislative enactments. The resolution adopted last night is so fla grantly opposed to law, principle and prece dent that we advise the citizens of Atlanta to •‘pass it by as the idle wind which they re gard not." Let the election be held as pro- wiled by law, on Wednesday next, and all will be well. The Constitution says the trick was fixed upon fully by Farrow, Joe Brown, Richard Peters, young Glenn, G. W. Adair, and two or three others. THE PHILOSOPHER HOISTED ON HIS HIS OWN PETARD. President Roberts, of Liberia, who is at present in this country soliciting contribu tions in aid of the Liberian College, having admitted that slavery exists in that country and that the African Chiefs, whose territories have been annexed to Liberia “measure their wealth by the number of their wives and slaves,” philosopher Greeley is fearfully shocked. He not only thinks that “efficient steps should be taken to rescue Liberia from relapsing into a slaveholding province,” but also suggests that it will be well “to inquire whether the gratuitous education of. the sons of these slaveholding chiefs may not inure to the groidh of slavery rather than of freedom.” Upon which the Baltimore American remarks: “ A little while ago the Tribune’s doctrine -was that education and slavery could not co-exist. The enlightened North, we are told, had dis carded the latter as soon as her people began to feel the results of their educational sys tems. In the South we also learned that sla very prevailed solely because of the besotted ignorance of an immense proportion of the white population. But in Africa it seems matters are reversed, and it is very question able whether education will not make black men hold on to their slaves with increased tenacity. It has been said that Mr. Greeley has never changed the style of his hat We never heard the same thing said of him in reference to his principles.” [communicated. ] The Board of Aldermen. Eiitors Morning Neves : The proceedings of the last two meetings of this body call for deliberate consideration on the part of every citizen. The plan of the city, made by Oglethorpe, which has been the admiration of every body, is abont to be marred—destroyed for the purpose of erect ing counting rooms, to be leased for exorbit ant rents, which the city expenditure, not be ing able to meet, is to be made by a sale of the ground, or a lease of it, to certain Aider- men of the Board, at a valne to be appraised by the City Assessors, appointed by them selves !!! These gentlemen forget that they hold their offices, not by legal tenure of election and due qualification, but from the evil necessity imposed by unlawful authority—and instead of buying or leasing a part of the streets for themselves, a modest propriety would have suggested a total abstinence from the scheme. Their legal Counsel advises them that they have no authority—but that obstacle is to be pat aside by asking Legislative authority, and if the learned gentleman will refer to the decision of the Supreme Court, in the case of P. K. Shiels, us.'Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Company, he will find that every citizen has an inalienable right to the free use of every pari of every street, •without let-or hindrance—as the Legislature had granted .the authority tq, the Railroad Company i so far, as. j£h:ul any constitutional right, to do-so, it is exactly a .case,in point, and eyen,tha^authority cannot infringe the .right of citizens to use every part of. Drayton"street. If they erect buildings on Drayton street they will not stop there ; the cupidity of man. will suggest also, at Whitaker, Abercom and the other streets, and before they conclude, very eligible Bites will be found in many places in the esplanade, between the Northern and Southern lines of Bay street itself; and that commodious space—the delight of every visitor, will be sacrificed for filthy lucre, to the annoyance of everybody and the immense injury to present lot owners. It is hoped that these gentlemen will pause iu their well-concocted scheme. The South ern people are not yet ready to have “ Rings” of Aldermen made rich by public plunder. This city cannot afford it If they would consult the real welfare of the city, they would immediately remove the stone walls that have been illegally placed across the streets leading to River street, and so soon as the City Treasury can afford the expense, they will erect a City Hall and de molish the old Exchange and make one grand and unobstructed view from one end of the Bay to the other. “A Tax Payee.” Segregating the Negro Population.—In the Legislature of West Virginia, last Mon day, the following proposition was submitted: Mr. Evans offered a resolution that our Senators be instructed and our Congressmen requested'to procure an act of Congress, giy- ing to tbe freedmen of tbe public lands lying between tbe 30th and 37th degrees north" lat itude, and the 98th and 114th degrees west longitude from Greenwich, enough to make six States as big as the State of New York; that the title of the land bo given be rendered inalienable except between persons' of African descent, that it may remain forever the prop erty of the African race. On motion this resolution was made tbe order of tbe day for 3 o’clock, P. M., of next Wednesday. “Are You Insured”?—The decision of Judge Clifford In the United States Circuit Court, which we publish this morning, should prompt those who hold policies of insurance which have been transferred or assigned to look sharply to the validity and regularity of tbe proceeding.—Providence Journal.’ The party insured had assigned the policy to a third party without the consent of the company insuring. - Decision, Of course, was that the ’ third party could not recover, the assignor being the one insured. And as the goods were not his (the insured party’s) when burned, neither conld he recover. The New York Times publishes a letter written in April last, from Chief Justice Chase to Hon. H. W. Hilliard, of Alabama. In it Mr. Chase says that he agrees with Mr. Hilliard that the seceded States have never been other than States within the Union since . they became parties to the Federal Govern ment, and the failure to maintain their asser tions of independence in the conflict of arms which followed, left them States - still within the Union. This is certainly nnti-Radicol doctrine. The Washington correspondent of the'New York Tribune says: “An intimate friend of General Grant says that he will recommend an amendment of the Constitution providing that no person shall be eligible to the Presi dency a second time.” Office of Udolpho Wolfe, Solo Importer of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, , 22 Beayeb Street, Hew Nork, To the People of the Southern States. When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced into the world under 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 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 aafcertained, sam ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes of experiment A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a re 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 oould be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. Hie peculiar excelence and strength of the oil of juni per, which formed one of the principle ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tbe alcoholic element, giverit, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a dinretic 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 SchnappB, 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 this conntry under the name of Schnapps prior to the in troduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the lable was deposited, os his trade mark, 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 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, after disposing of the genuine 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, Ho .land, 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 States of the sale of cheap imitations of the 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 unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of the undersigned jpivo 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 of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands of the faaost 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 fallow-citizens generally, to the medical profession;and the sick, to dcmounce 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. ... i . . ■ 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 they are represented to be.

DAVID L. MOTT, M. D., Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 2G Pine Street, New York Nov.21,1867. Udglpho Wolfe, Esq., Present: Dear Sir: 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 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 are employed in the adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself or to recommend to ythers, for medical pur poses, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and un objectionable variety of gin. ' Very, respectfully youra, (Signed) CHAS. A. SEELY, Chemist. New York, 53 Cedar Street, November 26, 1867. Udolphq Wolfe, Esq., Present: Dear Sir: I have 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 agod and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics. Respectfully, FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist. New York, Tuesday, May 1. Dear Sir: The want pf pure Wines and Liquors for medicinal purposes has been long felt by the.profes sion, and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by- theuseof adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other diseases of the brain and nerves,’so rife in this country, are very rare in Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the difference in the purity of the spirits sold. We have tested the several articles imported and. Sold by yon, including your 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-. perience 'as a foreign importer,your Bottled Wines and. Liquors chould meet with the same demand. We would recommend yon to appoint Borne of the respectable apothecaries in different parts of the city as agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines, where tho profession can obtain the same when need ed for medicinal purposes. Wishing yon success in your new enterprise, We remain your obedient servants, VALENTINE MOTT, M. D.,Professor of Surgery, Uni versity Medical College, New York. . J. M. CABNOCHAN, M.
