Gompbomise in Revenue Cases.—Is it ever
really “for the interest of the United States”
to compromise a case with a criminal caught
in the effort to defraud the government of
revenue ? The question is asked by a con-
temporary, who declares that he don’t believe
it is, and we are inclined to the same belief.
Perhaps it often results in giving the govern
ment a few millions on some case that it
otherwise would not get; but does it not
throw aronnd those vast frauds the notice
that they may be practiced with comparative
safety, Bince in the event of detection there
is easy escape by compromise ? And does
not this rob the government of many millions
where compromise saves it one ? Is it not
also a most dangerous discretion to pnt in
the Knuds of any officer this right of compro
mise?—Baltimore Sun.
Aye, but Mr. Sun, you forget that this com
promise business is perfectly legitimate. The
Radical party is now the government—(any
one who is opposed to Radical rule is a
“rebel” ora “traitor.”) In these revenue
frauds the treasury is one party concerned
and the Radical office-holder, or partizan, is
another. “ To the victors belong the spoils,”
and the compromise is only a division of the
spoils—a settlement between the Radical, the
individual member of “the government,”
and the pool, which is the common treasury.
It ie decidedly legitimate “ government” bu
siness, and as we have before suggested, there
should be a new Bureau established to adjust
these compromises between the truly loyal
members of the “ government” and the
treasury. It is all .in the Republican family,
and it is not only high treason, but “ flat
burglary,” for outsiders to have anything to
say in the matter. The “government,"
which means the Radical party, must be sup
ported.
i Gen. Gaby’s Motion to Repeat, the Tenube-
of-Ofmci Act.—Gen. Caiy, of Ohio, offered
a preamble and resolution in the Honse on
Monday, for the repeal of the tenure-of-civil-
office act, which was promptly laid upon the
* table. It is believed, says the Express, the
proposition would have been favorably re
ceived bnt for the terms and language, of the
preamble, which contained reflections upon
the previous action of Congress.
This preamble reciteB that, “Whereas, the
symmetry and strength of our republican
form of government consist in its wise dis
tribution of powers between the executive,
judicial, and legislative departments; and,
whereas, the thirty-ninth Congress, by the
enactment of the law regulating the tenure
of certain civil offices, transcended the limits
of its jurisdiction by taking from the Presi
dent one of his most essential prerogatives,
milking him a mere recording secretary of the
Senate; and, whereas, infringements upon
the constitutional rights of the Chief Magis
trate ought not to be continued,” toe., &c.
Beast Butlbb, on Tuesday, introduced a
bill to repeal the tennre-of-office act, which
was referred to the Judiciary Committee. It
is expected that this measure will be strongly
opposed, if not defeated in the Senate.
Important to Southern Cotton Claim
ants.—A Washington dispatch says:
A question of great interest to Southern
claimants is to be decided, at pie approach
ing term of the Court of Claims.. The
Solicitor of the United States at the late
term interposed a plea in the cotton cases
and all' other cases of captured and aban
doned property that the rebellion was sup
pressed on June 1, 1865, when Ktrth Smith
surrendered his forces; and that claimants
under the statute must prefer their claims in
the court within two years after the suppres
sion of the rebellion; and that the claims
preferred after June, 1867, must be dis
missed. It is understood that upon the
previous argument the court was equally
divided, and that the question is now to
be argued before the full bench of judges.
Bands in Decatub County.—A reliable
gentleman informs the editor of the Thomas-
ville Enterprise that one of the largest and
best plantations in Decatur county, of over
3,000 acres, sold a few days ago at less than
S3 00 per acre; and that another gentleman
is now offering a large body of river bottom
lands at $2 40 per acre. On the contrary*
lands in the middle part of the State are
selling from $8 to $10 per acre. Southern
Georgia now offers more advantages to set
tlers than any other portion of the State.
Supreme Coubt.—The Supreme Court of
Georgia was engaged ou Wednesday, in lis
tening to arguments involving the constitu
tionality of the Relief Law passed by the last
Legislature. The counsel engaged in the dis-
sion Were. Scabbcbough, Messrs Goode, Haw
kins and Judge Lyon. The Atlanta Intelli
gencer sayB there are quite a number of cases
depending upon the decision of the Court in
this matter. John S. Davidson, Esq., of
Augusta, was admitted to the bar of the
Court.
TUB UN 1VSRSAL SUFFRAGE MOVE
MENT.
In pursuance of their determination to
force universal manhood suffrage upon the
country, the extremists of the Radical party
have lost no time in bringing the matter be
fore Congress. Senator Sumner, not willing
to wait the slow process of an amendment to
the Cons'itution to effect his cherished ob
ject, and relying npon the “higher-law” pow
ers of Congress, to override constitutions and
laws, Federal and State, signalized the first
tours of the session on Monday by intro
ducing a bill taking the question entirely ont
of the jurisdiction of the States, and making
manhood suffrage universal throughout the
States oi' the Union, any State Constitution
or law to the contrary notwithstanding.
The subject of universal suffrage was agita
ted by the leading Radical journals immediate
ly after the Presidential election, and in the
flush of their victory there appeared to be
great unanimity of sentiment in favor of the
measure, it being regarded as a master stroke
-Of policy for securing what Mr. Drake is
pleased to call the “permanent supremacy” of
Radical loyalty in the South. When first pro
posed it was regarded by the Northern masses
only as a crowning measure of Southern op
pression, outrage and degradation, and little
or no opposition was made to it even by
those who had so recently voted down the
proposi don in their own States. Bat it would
seem that (reflection on the subject of de
grading the national suffrage, if it has yet
developed no vehement opposition to the
scheme, has at least had the effect to neu
tralize the zeal and awaken the apprehen
sions of some of its supporters. It has
been discovered to be not exactly a “war
measure,” the evils of which are only to be
experienced by the South, and which,'like a
destructive missile, may be thrown by the
Northern Radicals into the Southern camp
without danger to themselves. The movement
is evidently not so popular with the Northern
press as it was a few weeks since, and al
though no opposition was manifested in the
Senate to Mr. Sumneb’s bill, well informed
letter writers in Washington speak hopefully
of the defeat of the measure. A correspond
ent of the Richmond Dispatch says, although
“universal manhood suffrage" has been made
a rallying cry of the Republican party, “it is
the opinion of a large number of members of
that party that it cannot be adopted either as
a congressional enactment or a constitutional
amendment, on the ground that in several of
the States the popular decision has been for
cibly against it, and the Legislatures of those
States have no right to override the expressed
will of the people of the States. The ques
tion is,” says the writer, “coming home to
some of them, and bringing them to a con
scientious view of it The Pacific delegations
will oppose it on the ground that it will open
the door to Chinese suffrage, to which the
people of the Pacific coast are in no particu
lar inclined to show any respect.”
While the Jacobins in Congress are ufging
the enforcement of universal manhood suffrage
in its most odious form, leading organs of
the party in the North-west are agitating the
propriety of adopting a property qualification
as a means of protecting the local govern
ments against the evils of universal white-
man suffrage. The Chicago Dost, alarmed
at the recklessness of popular suffrage,
proposes to paliate the evil of unrestricted
voting, by dividing the Common Council of
each city in Illinois into two bodies, in imita
tion of the two houses of Congress, one body
to have the exclusive right to originate money
bills, and to be elected by voters having at
least $1,000 worth of property. The tribune
of the same city admits that much may be
said in favor of two branches of a city gov
ernment, bnt thinks it is too late in the day
to adopt a “property qualification of voters.
We agree with the Tribune that it is too
late to attempt to fix a property qualification
or any other qualification infringing the birth
right of free-born white American citizens;
but it is not too late to prevent the further
demoralization of the suffrage and the prosti
tution ofthe privilege to the very dregs of the
inferior races in our midst If, as the Post
main tains,the unrestricted voting of the white
man be an evil, how much greater will the
evil be when the unrestricted privilege is ex
tended to the ignorant'and heathenish Afri
can and Chinaman ? Sorely no true frienjl
of representative government con desire such
degradation and prostitution of the suffrage,
and as the “ nationalizing ” of the evil can
neither circumscribe nor mitigate its demoi-
alizing effects, we are not surprised that with
the “sober second thought,” prudent men of
the North and West are beginning to falter
ill the support of a measure which, while it
cannot be relied on to secure the object con
templated—the perpetual supremacy of the
parly in power—is a usurpation and an oat-
rage, repngnant to the spirit of the govern
ment and the known sentiment of a majority
of the American people.
LET VS HAVE PEACE I
We should judge from the first day’s pro
ceedings of Congress that .General Gbant’s
aspirations are in a fair way of being realized.
The South—the poor South—is to be harried
in every conceivable way for the benefit of
the hungry carpet-baggers; and by way of
clinching the nail, two thousand rifles and
two field pieces are to be distributed in each
Congressional district among loyal men. Let
us have peace.—Richmond Whig.
George Peabody, the fpreat philanthropist,

the hearts of trie wealthy aristocracy of the

Tile Senate on Tuesday had a brief session,
and transacted no business of general in
terest.
The House passed a bill to increase the
tariff on copper—year. 107, nays 51. ^ A bill
was introduced and referred to repeal the
tenure-of-office act, and a bill passed to re
store the Bureau of Indian Affairs to the War
Department.
Mr. Robinson, of New York, got off adong
speech on the imprisonment of American
citizens in Great Britain ori the charge of
being Fenians, in which he pitched into the
British Government, the Committee on For
eign Relations, Secretary Seward and Con
gress, handling them without gloves.
He said the Committee on Foreign Affairs
of the Honse had entirely neglected the case
of these men, who are suffering in British
prisons. He referred to the manner in which
these men had been tried in British courts,
and pronounced the whole proceeding a
farce. According to the acknowledged pre
cedents of British law, no case could justly
be made ont against these men. If to (Mr.
Robinson) had the power, no man should eat
his dinner, no woman should wed, the whole
operation of society should Btop until war
was declared against Great Britain. He read
extracts from the accounts of the trials of the
Fenians to show that these men pledged their
allegiance to the United States and trusted
to our government for protection. In every
case they had been disappointed through the
cowardice of the Secretary of State. He
thonght oar government should not permit
other nations to whip her children for what
they do at tome. He was glad to notice that
the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs (Mr. Banks) was in his seat. That
Committee had tailed to defend either the
lives of American citizens abroad or the dig
nity of the Honse and the country at home.
He had no personal reflection to make, bnt
he would rather be expelled from the House
for defending these poor men than to be a
member of a honse that had not enough
pluck to defend its own dignity.

STATE AGRICULTURAL, CONVENTIONS
Abont one hundred delegates from various
parts of the State are in attendance npon the
Convention here. Business pours so fast
upon the Secretary that we are instructed to
say that the official record of proceedings
will not appear until after the adjournment.
So soon as the Convention was called to
order, B. C. Yancey, Esq., in the Chair, a
committee was appointed upon the subject of
nn union of the various societies represented.
This committee, after retirement and debate,
reported a proposition to unite and organize
under the charter of the old State Agricultu
ral Society of Georgia, and that the Legisla
ture should be memorialized for such amend
ments to the same as would embrace all the
objects of the various associations, and adapt
tjie organization to the situation and wants
of the people.
The report and resolutions being received
and adopted, the Convention proceeded to
enroll members, and afterwards to elect offi
cers, with the following result:
President—David Dickson, of Hancock.
Vice Presidents—First Congressional Dis
trict—Wm. Schley, of Chatham.
Second Districtr-Gen. Goode Bryan, of
Lee.
Third District—J. A Miller, of Houston.
Fourth District—Joseph Clisby, of Bibb.

Office of Udolpho Wolfe,
Sole Importer or the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
22 Beaver Street,
‘ New Norlt* Nov- 3, 1868!
To the People of the Sonthern States.
«
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
intn the world nnder the endorsement of four thou
sand leading members ofthe 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
^iatingnitihwl rtMwnfrmfo for analysis, and pronounced
by thftm purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pu
rity and properties having been thus ascertained, e
pies of the article were forwarded to ten thousand
physicians, farfntting 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 specimen!. 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 could be placed on the ordinary
liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less
ad , and therefore unfit for medical purposes.
The peculiar excelence and strength of the oil of juni
per, which formed oneof 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 the
Schnapps, as one ofthe 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
country nnder 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 mask,
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 Schnapps 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 been stolen; the indorsement which his Schie
dam Aromatie 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 tbe sick, for
whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed
as a remc 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! .ami, 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, pnt np in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed
off npon 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 be engaged in the atrocious
system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned
would say that he has produced, from under the hands
ofthe 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
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 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 sick, to
denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identify, 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 they are represented to be.
UDOLPHO WOLFE.
I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as
being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and'deserv
ing of medical patronage. At all events, it is the
purest possible article of Holland Gin, heretofore un
obtainable, and 88 such may be safely prescribed by
physicians.

Udolpho 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 respited in the conclusion that
tbe sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix

deleterious substances which are employed in the
adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use
myself or to recommend to others, for medical pur
poses, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and un
objectionable variety of gin.

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Dear Sm: 1 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 aged and not recently prepared by
mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,
FRED. F, MAYER, Chemist.

Udolpho Wolfk, Esq.:
Dear Sib: 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
reat degree, to the difference in the purity of the
sold.
We hare tested the several articles imported and
sold by yon, inclhding your Gin, which you sell un
der the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which
we consider justly entitled to the high reputation it
has acquired in tins country; and from your long ex
perience as a foreign importer jour Bottled Wines and
Liquors should meet with the some demand.
We 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 when need
ed for medicinal purposes.
' ‘ ' yon success in your new enterprise,
e remain your obedient servants,

spring proved to be the best commercial Manure I
ever used, beating the Peruvian Guano 122 pounds

interest after paying back the cost of it. Yours, truly,

feel that it is useless to do so.
The EUREKA is put up in bags and barrels, and

We will sell at toe rate of $70 per ton payable DE-
