ilse ^taming gjjtaM. J. H. ESTILL, Proprietor. W. T. THOMPSON, Editor. 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 ly and Weekly editions. 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. Jackson, Wm. H. Goodrich, Jas. Cargan. The following is the official statement of the registration when the books were closed on Tuesday evening: White. Black. Total. First Ward .... 522 487 1,009 Second Ward .... 322 298 620 Third Ward .... 377 293 670 Fourth Ward .... 741 810 1,551 Grand Total... ... 1,962 1,883 3,850 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. S : Marriage of the Author of “Beulah."’ Mobile, December 2.—Miss Augusta J. Evbrb, the well known authoress, was mar ried last night to L. M/Wilson, President of the Mobile and Montgomery Railroad. . 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 1864 is located, fo discontinue their deposits in national banks op £i}e flrst of December, 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 ernment as an offset to the Alabama claims, amounting to $45,000,000, being for damagas alleged to have been sustained by British subjects in the Sonth during the rebellion. —-— 4 _ 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 fiscal year. > » ♦ « 4 Tub election of a negro to Congress in Louisiana will directly test the question whether that intensely Radical body will ad mit a man of color to a seat npon its floor. Greeley vehemently denies that he has any such right. So does a long list of lesser Badi cals. Thebe is a growing interest manifested in the cultivation of tobacco in Northern Geor gia. The climate and soil are found to be in no way inferior to that of Virginia, and some specimens manufactured at Clarksville will compare favorably with’ the best Lynch burg chewing tobocco. *■ »♦« 4 — 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 ers to some use and keep them ont of mis chief We have several chronic “old burns” in onr mind’s eye, who would look remarka bly well swjpging a hoe, and cleaning ont some chokiu-up drain, in readiness for a rainy day. 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— Macon IdegrapA ’• =-•. 1 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.

May L 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, VALENTINE MOTT, M* D„Rrofessor of Surgery, Uni versity Medical Colloge, New York. J. M. CABNOCHAN, M.
