Largest Circulation In City and Country.
■ THPUSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1868.
THE MORNING NEWS AT TWENTY-
FIVE CENTS PER WEEK.
We have' recently systematized and broughtinto
operation the old plan of weekly subscriptions to the
Daily Momtntd News, and withinthe past few weeks
our circulation, under this plan, has largely increased.
We desire to place the Mobsxng News in the hands of
every Mechanic, every laboring man, and every per
son of intelligence ; and knowing that there are many
who cannot afford to pay five or ten dollars right out
of 1 pocket for a six month’s or a year’s subscription,
who would not feel the expenditure of twenty-five
cents per week, for a daily newspaper, we have insti
tuted the plan, and engaged Mr. H. c. Merritt to at
tend to that particular business. Persons In any part
- • of the city who desire to take the Mobkiko News, at
weniy-flve cents per week can give their namea to
■ hiin, or by leaving them at the office, they will be at
tended to. Collections will be made every Saturday.
OUR TRAVELLING AGENT.
Mr. W. A. Shobeb is the General Travelling Agent
for the Mobsiso News, and is authorized to receive
and receipt for subscriptions to the Daily, Tri-Week

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE—THE PRO
POSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.
It seems to be settled beyond doubt that
among the first acts of the approaching session
of Congress will be the adoption of an
amendment of the Constitution, establishing
universal suffrage without distinction of race
throughout the States. The . extreme Hadi-
cals are conscious that they represent the
sentiments of but a minority of the white
men of the country on this question, but
feeling confident of their power fn the pres-
• ent array of parties on the many false issues
of the day, to control not only the action of
Congress, but a majority of the State Legisla
tures, they seem resolved upon prompt, whole
sale measures for the accomplishment of their
purpose. - Some of the more timid Republi
cans hesitate to nsurp the right of the States to
regulate the suffrage within their own limits;
they would be content with an amendment to
Constitution giving to all men in all the
States the right to vote for President and Vice
President, and for members of Congress, and
leaving the State, to determine the qualifica
tions of voters for State officers. But the ex
tremists oppose any such compromise. They
declare themselves opposed to any half way
measures. Believing that they have the power
c to force the constitutional amendment upon
the States through the Badical Legislatures
North, and the carpet-bag and negro Legisla
tures South, and feeling that the perpetuation
of their power depends npon the accomplish-
' ment of the end proposed, they are resolved
not only to make their usnrpation general,
fall and complete, but fixed and irrevocable.
Such are the views of the Hon. T. S. Cab-
lisLE, of Pennsylvania, who, in a communi
cation to Forney's Philadelphia Press, ex-
: presses his conviction that “it would be well
to settle by constitutional provision the ques
tion of sufirage, so that in future it could not
be disturbed either by State or Federal authority,
thus removing from both the State and Fed
eral governments all agitation of the subject;
and that it would be advisable to substitute
such a provision for the disfranchising clause
of the fourteenth amendment, so that when
adopted it would stand in lien of the clause
referred to. Such a provision declaring that
all male citizens twenty-one years of age and
upwards shall be. entitled to vote at all elec
tions, State and Federal; that no test oaths,
- political or religions, shall be required, and
no person excluded except for crime after
conviction, or mental incapacity, ascertained
by competent judicial authority, would, Mr.
Carlisle thinks, “place it beyond the power of
either race, in States where the one or the oth
er might be in the ascendant, to deprive the
other of the right of suffrage; and would
command the approval of the great body of
the-people South as well as North."
This may be regarded as the programme of
the extremists, who will lead the majority, if
' not the entire party on this question, and
• there is hardly any donbt that on amendment
embracing Mr. Carlisle’s plan will be forced
. through Congress at the present session. Onr
opposition to the proposed amendment will
be of little consequence, since in these days
of' Republican enlightenment, Constitutions
are no longer the expressed will of the people,
—adopted by them for their own government,
but, in the form of amendments to suit party-
emergencies, are put. forth as the edicts of
>. an unprincipled, corrupt, tyrannical and
unscrupulous faction.
There are some at the South who seem
confident in the belief that the freemen of
the North will indignantly reject the
proposed outrage npon the rights of the
States and the birth-right of Americans. The
New Orleans Times has no fear of the adop
tion of the proposed amendment, and thinks
the people of the South have every “reason
to rejoice that such extreme measures will be
inaugurated at once, as they will not only
test the patriotism of General Grant, bnt
bring to the issue the main point that stands
between ns and peaceful prosperity.” We
wish we could think with those who take
each hopeful views of a question in which we
believe is involved not only the future des
tiny of the Republic, bnt also the welfare,
peace and happiness of both races. If the
apprehended calamity and degradation was
a common one—in its immediate effects fall
ing on the people of both sections alike—we
might hope that patriotism, reason and jus-
tieewbuld prevail; but, while what brings only
shame and humiliation to the North, brings
social degradation and political ruin to us, we
fear we need expect no interposition from the
majority of the white men of the North in
onr behalf. »
Wepfeel, however, that we should be thank
ful to Mr. Carlisle, who generously proposes
to protect the white men of the Sonth from
disfranchisement by the blacks, at least
until another Badical amendment of the
. Constitution may be deemed necessary for
the security of the. Republican party.
; MOVEMENT FOR THE RESUMPTION
OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
. The policy of a resumption of specie pay
ments at an early day, is now being agitated
by the leading presses of both political par
ties, as it would seem with a good prospect of
. a speedy accomplishment of that very desi
rable object The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Oasetle says:
“There . is a powerful combination now
forming in this city, headed by Jax Cooke,
for the purpose of securing an early resump
tion of specie payments. The combination
1 is said to Embrace a 'large number of the
ablest men in the Bepnblicon ranks, who re
pudiate the proposition .of-Senator Sherman
to prepare for resumption two years hence.
Theyexpress the determination to have specie
payments at a much earlier day, and the pur
pose is to press for an immediate resumption.
A leading politician here who professes to be
. iu the combination, says that the scheme is
fully endorsed by Gen. Grant, who will throw
the whole weight of his influence in its favor,
and who will take an active 'part in securing
its success.”
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN AVGUSTA.
We congratulate our readers upon the news
presented in onr telegraphic columns this
morning. . The municipal election in Augus
ta came off yesterday, and our fair sister city
was gloriously and completely redeemed from
Badical misrule. The Badicals, under the
leadership of Foster Blodgett, suffered an
overwhelming defeat, and the Democratic
ticket carried the day by eleven hundred and
thirty-six majority. Thus has the enemy
been attacked even in his stronghold, and
driven to the wall. It was a glorious
triumph for the people of Augusta, and
we congratulate them upon their complete
success. They had everything to contend
against. The election was controlled by the
Badical city officials; they had to break down
a heavy Badical majority; they had to work
against a’large colored vote; but in the face
of all these obstacles they have won a vic
tory, and their city will once more be gov
erned by officers chosen by the people.
There was considerable anxiety felt in this
city yesterday about the result of the Augusta
election, and when the news came last
evening and was circulated about town, every
white man, every lover of his native State,
felt elated, and could their voices have been
heard all the way to Augusta, we feel sure
that our people would have sent up three
mighty cheers for the gallant Democracy of
our sister city.
We append the names of the successful
candidates:
Mayor, H. F. Bussell; Aldermen T. G. Bar
rett, Josiah Sibley, John U. Meyer, W- S.
Jones, Jno. M Clark, J. V. H. Allen, Jas. T.
Gardiner, Wm. H. Tuft, Chas. Speath, W. E.

THE MAILS.
There has been such a universal complaint
on the part of onr patrons residing on the lines
of the Atlantic and Gulf roadin this State, and
the Pensacola and Georgia and Florida and
Golf roads in Florida, that the Morning News
failed to reach them, or reached them very ir
regularly, and knowing the fault is not onrs,
we determined, some days since, to send out
an agent with instructions to follow up and
find out, if possible, where the trouble was.
On the Gulf road, mails have been sent out
by the different trains—by the regular pas
senger, and at times by express trains. It is
frequently the case that there are no pas
sengers for some, stations, and when that is
the case, the express trains pass by without
stopping, and carry with them the mail mat
ter destined for such points.
On the Florida roads, notwithstanding the
efforts of Mr. Norbis, the newly appointed
Mail Agent for that State, there has been no
improvement perceptible—indeed, from a
studied and earnest effort on the part
of the Pensacola and. Georgia and Florida
and Gulf Railroads to fail to connect,
and from the continuation of the Jack
sonville office as the general distributing of
fice for the Eastern portion of the State, and
ttpm the carelessness of some of the mail
agents and postmasters, the mail system, as
now conducted in Florida, is a complete
farce. In the Eastern portion of the State,
particularly, merchants and business men
have abondoned the moil altogether, and now
use the Express Company as a means of
transportation for their mail matter,
During the administration of Harrison
Reed as mail agent, he made Jacksonville a
first-lass office, with a first—lass salary—and
pnt his son in charge. To do so, it was ne
cessary to have a certain amount of mail mat
ter pass through id and as Jacksonville could
not furnish a sufficient population, it was or
dered that all mail matter intended for points
on the Florida and Gulf Railroad—including
Feroandina, Gainesville, Ocala, Micanopy,
Stark, etc.—should first pass through that
office; and the result has been, that matter
mailed in the Savannah office for those
points, mid which should reach its destina
tion in twenty-four hours, rarely ever goes
through in less than three days—sometimes it
requires a week.
Another reason why onr patrons fail to re
ceive the News is, that, mail agents and post
masters have been appropriating their papers for
the use of themselves and friends. Within the
past few days we have received letters from
responsible parties, making charges of this
character. We quote:
Quincy, Fla., November 27, 18G8.
“We have received but two issues of the
News this week. One of them came by way
of Baifibridge; and for some time past they
have been at least twenty-four hours behind
other mail matter. I hoard a gentleman say
the other day that he saw a mail agent on
the train bring out a handle of the Morning
News and distribute them among the pas
sengers.”
From another party, writing from the same
place, ve quote: , , •
Quincy, Fla., November 29, 1868.
“I am a patron of your daily paper, with
many others at this point We have had bnt
two papers since last Sunday; that of the 24th
came by way of Chattahoochee, andl have not
seen a copy since your issue of the 25th. 1
have been told that packages of the Fews are
broken open on the cars, and handed to pass-
ingers to read.”
These are serions charges, and we believe
them to be true; for we have the names of parties
connected with the mails and post-routes in
Florida who have been guilty of similar of
fences, with unquestionable proof, and we
now warn them that, if these outrages are re
peated, we shall expose them.
We hope our patrons in Florida aDd South
ern Georgia will possess their sonls in pa
tience until a better mail system is inaugura
ted, which we believe will be done in a very
short time. The fault is not with ns, or with
the Savannah Post Office; Col. Bobb, the
Postmaster, has done everything in his power
to remedy the evil
i <
NEW ENGLAND AMUSEMENTS.
In some matters we are compelled to ac
knowledge that New England is a long way
in advance of us, especially must we recog
nize the superiority of her status as is indi
cated by the refined and elevating character
of the amusements of her people. This fact
is forcibly brought to onr mind by the ac
count of a-pnze fight which took place last
week in the township of Fairfield, Connecti
cut, which we are informed was conducted
strictly according to the rules and regulations
of the prize-ring. The contestants were two
negroes, named respectively, Gardner and
Crumble. Forty-two rounds were fought,
occupying over one hour. Gardner was de
clared the victor, though “both were severe
ly punished and the clarel“flowed freely.”
Such an exhibition of brutality would find no
respectable spectators in a Southern commu
nity, and no well-bred Southern slave would
degrade himself by being a competitor in
such a conflict. Emancipation hns done lit
tle for the race by transferring darkies from
the,Georgia cotton fields to the Connecticut
prize-ring.

A CONVERSATION OF HOJf. JQIW
SHERMAN.
A correspondent of tho New York Herald
gives a report Of the substance of views of
Hoh. John Sherman, which were expressed
to Li'tt, upon salient national topics. That
he expected their publication is inferred from
the statement ,of the correspondent. "We
make the following extract, in which the
Senator gives tiw views on the subject of for
cible reconstruction;
“Sir,” said Mr. Sherman, ‘T have no opin
ions on public matters that you may not
print; no reasons to be reticent At the same
time, there is nothing that at this moment I
especially wish to communicate. If you will
indicate any points on which' you wish my
thoughts, I will give them."
“Well,” .1 said, “it is part of the story to
know what yon would touch. Perhaps I can
ask yon no question more to the purpose
than the one mat thus comes up: What sub
ject, in onr present circumstances, do you
regard as most imperatively requiring the
national attention?
“Not reconstruction. That is settled by
the election of Grant, which secures the honest,
firm, bnt kind enforcement of existing laws.
The laws already made .are enough. They
cover all the points sufficiently. The neces
sity was that they should be earned ont in
their proper spirit, and not administered by
an Executive intent on defeating the purpose
for which they are made. It was the national
will that there should be no more chaffering
over the laws, bnt that they should be put in
force. Grant's election was an expression of
this will, and secures the; desired result. In
any farther discussion of reconstruction I
would myself favor the utmost liberality to
ward the South; would relieve it of all forms
of disability, provided it gives protection to
the people within its limits; but if murder for
political opinion is to go on os it has, if the
spirit of disaffection to laws properly made is
to prevail there, the only safety is in the other
coarse. But, as I have said, the subject is
not likely to be brought up. Grant’s election
is the resting place.” "
“And in the state of the nation, as viewed
from this resting place, some other subject is
of more immediate importance ?’’
“I think so; but the particular subject to
which any man would attach importance
would be determined by the peculiar direc
tion of his studies. I regard the national
finances as most important of alL”
Jail Delivery in Columbus.—The jail at
Columbns was, according to the Sun, of that
city, built at a heavy cost, and is one of the
strongest in the country, the entire inside
where prisoners are confined being of iron;
and yet, on Sunday last, between one and
two o’clock in the afternoon, three white men
and two negroes who were to have been
tried at the present term of the Superior
Court, walked from the jail and made good
their escape. The names of the three white
men are Levi Blake, a worker of the box
game; Jos Little, charged with assault and
robbery, and B. F. Ousting, an Englishman,
larceny. They were npt confined in the cells
where the other prisoners were, but were in
the main iron room, Th$ prisoners in the
cells say that Blake, ope pf the escaped
prisoners, gave the jailor, a youth by the
name of McGinty money and promised him
a gold watch, if he would bring an iron bar
into the room and leave the front door open.
He did so. The lock to the iron door was
wrenched open, and the “five” Btepped forth
to freedom in broad daylight. McGinty has
also disappeared.
Rev. W. T. Adams Called to Savannah.—
The New Orleans Orescent, of the 27th ult,
says: “Rev. W. T. A$4%8> Rector of St. Paul’s
Church in this city, has been invited to Christ
Chnrch, Savannah, as successor to the late
Bishop Elliott, who was long the rector of
that venerable parish. U is pleasant to record
the fact that people outside of New Orleans
are thus joining with onr own citizens in the
recognition of Mr. Adams’ great ability and
sterling virtues. Georgians, having obtained
a Bishop from Louisiana, seem desirous of
also adding to their clergy from the same
source.”
The Georgia correspondent of the New
York Times admits that “the enterprising
individuals esll$£ ‘ carpet-baggers,’ who lead
the Radical party in Qepygip, gjre not as scru-
pulons as they might be, and it would not be
too rank injustice to say of them that they
are a leetle more sglgsb than patriotic, and
that if trouble pays better tbftU peace, they
would very generally prefer trouble.
The Secretary of the Treasury has ordered
collectors of internal revenue, in all cities
where an assistant United States Treasurer
or designated depository under the act of

and thereafter to deposit only ip the United
States sub-treasury.
A Washington dispatch to New York says
that the British Legation has at length pro
duced a bill against the United States gov

amounting to $45,000,000, being for

by British subjects in the Sonth during the
rebellion.

A Washington dispatch says: Secretary
McCullough has nearly completed his an
nual report, and has fixed, on his estimates of
revenue to be raised for the next fiscal year
at two hundred and fifty million of dollars.
This estimate is one hundred and thirty-one
millions less than that made for the present

Tub election of a negro to Congress in
Louisiana will directly test the question
whether that intensely Radical body will ad

Greeley vehemently denies that he has any
such right. So does a long list of lesser Badi

A Tax on Idleness.—The Macon Telegraph
says:
“The Savannah Morning News insists that
the city government should levy a tax on
idleness and collect it of the loafers, white
and black, in that city. We are afraid the
City Marshal would be forced to return ’no
assets’ on all tax executions of that charac
ter.” —
Bnt with a good, strong law to back him,
the Marshal might gather up any quantify
of recruits to enter the service of the Street
and Lane Committee, and thus pnt the loaf

Business and Trade.—-The merchants of
Macon, almost without exception, brought on
very large stocks of dry goods and groceries
this season and have offered great induce
ments to purchasers. In consequence an im
mense amount of business has been done by
them, and their area of trade has been great
ly extended. Gur cotton warehouses -were
all in trim, at the opening of the cotton sea
son, for the storage and sale of the staple,
and they are now well filled with it, and have
sold some 16,000 boles—and on_ every hand
we see evidences of the inauguration of a new
era in point of business. When the bnlk of
the cotton crop is sold at the present good
price, we will have such a revival of business
as will gladden the hearts of all who have
used energy and Industry to secure it—

Office of Udolpho Wolfe,
Solo Importer of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
22 Beaver Street,
Yew Norlt, Nov# 3, ISftS,
To the People of the Southern States.
When the pore medicinal restorative, now bo widely
known as Wolfe's Schiedam Sohnapps, was introduced
into the world the endorsement of four thou
sand leading members of the medical profession some
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
rttatingnighftd cbemiusts 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 of the preparation and a re
port of the result, accompanied each specimens 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, 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 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
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 tha
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 copywrighfced, 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 Ho article had ever been sold in this
country under the name of Schnapps prior to the in
troduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
in 1851; and the lable was deposited, as his trade mark,
in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Hew 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 lias been sjolep; the indorsement which his Schie
dam Aromatic Schnapps aloge 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
whon} tfte Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed
os a remedy, a^> eerily interested with the proprie
tor in the detection and suppression of these nefari-
oub practices. *£he genuine article, manufactured at
the egfqbjj§h2£ent of ft® undersigned, in Schiedam,
Holland, is distilled $ fia^ey of £he 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 &yery acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have beep recsiyed 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-,
fiqence of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap
gin, puf up & Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed
off upon the i^iwaxy. r fhp agents of the undersigned
have been requested jo institute inquiries on the sub
ject, and to forward to him the names of such parties
as they may ascertain to be engaged iu the atrocious
system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned
would say £fia$ ho fias produced, from under the hands
of the most djstingjtishefi W®# of science in America
proofs unanswerable of {he pqrfry 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
should protect the public and himself against fradulent
imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liqnor
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 fropjp every ordeal the preparation which bears his
name, seaiand frado ?ome off triumphant.
He therfore feels it a' duty he o^es po hia feilow-eiftegua
generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to
denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these eyjdjmc£p of identity, and he calls npon the press
and the public {9 ajd Jiipj in his efforts to remedy so
great as evil,
The following letters and certificates from the
leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove

adulteration of liquors. Iwoqld'po£ hesitate to use

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.:
Dear Sir: The 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 in
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 your Gin, which you soil 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-
—*—ce as a foreign importer,your Bottled Wines and
rs should meet with the same demand,
e would recommend you to appoint some of the
respectable apothecaries in different parts of the city
as agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines,
where the profession can obtain the same whfe need
ed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in your new enterprise.
We remain your obedient servants,
