HON. A. H. STEPHENS AND THE UNI
VERSITY OF GEORGIA.
One of the most gratifying indications, not
only of the reviving prosperity of our noble
old Commonwealth, but of a future veri
fying our most sanguine expectations, is
recognized in the new impulse that has been
given to the University of Georgia, which
since the war has, in the language of a cotetn-
porary, “leaped into new life, activity and
vigor,” assuming rank among the foremost
collegiate institutions of the country.
The friends of education throughout the
South will be pleased to learn that Hon. A.
H. Stephens has accepted the chair of “His
tory and Political Science,” recently voted to
him by the-Trustees, and which he is so pre
eminently qualified to fill. Not only in the
influence of his name on the roll of its Pro
fessors will the University be benefitted, but
the impress of his genius and character,
transmitted to the youth of the country
through his teaching and example, will he of
incalculable advantage to those who are so
fortunate as to be brought within the circle
of his influence. Since the disorder and de
generacy of our time has deprived the State
of his services, it is a source of congratula
tion that like Virginia’s favorite son, the great
and good Lee, he has accepted a position in
which those who are to be the men of the
coming, and we trust better time, will have
the benefits of his instruction—his wisdom
and experience. Long may he be spared in
the field of honor and usefulness npon which
he is about to enter.
The Alaska Swindle.—The Alaska pur
chase turns out to have been a disreputable
transaction by which the snug snm of 8200,000
in gold went into the pockets of certain par
ties, loyal Radicals, to secure their influence
in consummating the bargain by which the
United States secured a territory at an ex
pense of 87,000,000, that is not worth the
cost of surveying. Of the “greasing” fund it
seems that Mr. Robert L Walker received
$36,000 in gold, as a fee for porfessional ser
vices. Walker admits the fee, not a bribe,
and says all the fuss about the matter “has
its origin in the envy of those members and
newspapers that have failed to get a slice,
thus virtually admitting that the $200,060
was divided about in slices to some persons.
Can there be a more corrupt government on
the face of the earth than that at Washington?
Wonder if Secretary Seward got a slice.
We see by oar Washington dispatch; re
ceived since the above was written, die incor-
rubtible and loyal patriot Forney, received a
$3,000 “slice.”
Lace Cotton.—A variety of cotton, called
lace cotton, is being introduced in some
parts of Texas, and is likely to be extensive
ly raised. It is to be superior to any other
variety for poor soil or uplands, having a
strong healthy growth and yielding heavily.
Its strength is equal to a strain.of seven and
a half poands to each thread, while a similar
thread of the best American cotton will lift
only five pounds. Those who have examined
it say that it resembles Egyptian cotton,
which is worth in England a quarter more
than American. Good results are anticipated
. from a cultivation of this variety of cotton.
If it is successful it may quite generally su
persede the poorer qualities, and'largely in
crease the income of the Sontlien|j ^flantjer.
The Trouble Between Turkey and
Greece.—Letters received in Washington
from London represent the tronbles between
Turkey and Greece os of no consequence! to
the preservation of peace in "Europe- The
present ministry of Greece boasts opehly
about the support it is giving to the Cretan
insurgents, and says the open violation of in
ternational obligations is the cause of the
present crisis; but it is perfectly well-known
that as soon as Greece realizes her inability
to maintain ner present policy tet^hrds Tur
key she will yield. It is the belief of the
English politicians that the Cretan, insurrec
tion cannot outlive the snppdrt'of Greece.

THE LEGAL-TENDER DECISION.
A report from Washington, says the Balti
more Sun, is to the effect that the legal-ten
der act is, likely to be’ declared unconstitu
tional by tjie Supreme Court. This has nat
urally excited considerable interest in finan
cial circles at the East, and especially with
respect to its bearing npon the banks and
the prices of securities. It is assumed, how
ever;'fcfiat, in"the event of' a majority-of the
judges regarding the act as invalid, the decis
ion would he postponed until Congress had
an opportunity for bringing about specie pay
ments by a less violent method. Private dis
patches in New York from Washington, re
port that the judges stand five for the valid
ity of the act and three against; but it is
hardly possible to vouch for the reliableness
of the report. ; If the decision of the court,
however, shall be of the character here inti
mated, it will no doubt be a large stride to
wards an early resumption of specie pay
ments. There is some uneasiness as to con
sequences of such a decision, but perhaps no
real, cause for alarm, even though “green
backs” are not, and never have been, in law,
(if Congress had no right to pass the act,) a
legal-tender for the payment of debts, public
or private. For it is said, and believed, that
“alt contracts made since legal-tenders be
came the money of account by the customs of
trade, will be held by the courts bound by
that custom. Contracts made since the pub
lication of the legal-tender act as law, and in
view of that act, will be held to refer to that
act and to include it, so that the legal-tender
clause will include them, not as law,- but.as
part of the contract.” If this be a true ren
dering of the operation of a de'cisiou of the
character reported, business will not stop,
aeconnts will not be disturbed, nor debtors
be ruined, as has been feared. A financial
writer says;
It will not unsettle old specie contracts
which may have been adjusted by the use of
legal-tenders; but old debts contracted before
the legal-tender act will henceforth be pay
able only in gold. Contracts from the time
of a decision declaring the law unconstitu
tional will be payable in coin or currency as
may be stipulated. The restrictions now im
posed on gold, that make it only a commod
ity, will be removed, and it will soon become
a currency, and the "universal measure of
value. Paper will thenceforth be at a dis
count, and not gold at a premium. It will be
a first important step towards a resumption
of specie payments by the government and
by the people. Congress would be compelled
to redeem or fund the greenbacks as fast as a
legal medium of greater value could be sup
plied. The difficulties of trade, it is believed,
would be lesB than is generally anticipated.
The banks would be most exercised. Such as
could open specie accounts, and issue notes
upon a specie basis, would probably do so at
once, and this would- gradually drive the
' others to adjust their business and circulation
to the same standard, but in all this the diffi
culty would not be serious. With euch one
handling money doing his part towards ad
justing prices to values, the whole labor so
divided will be scarcely felt, and all will be,
in a short time, surprised that a remedy so
efficacious in results should have been so long
feared and delayed. Whatever the judgment
of the court as to the legal-tender law may be,
the evil will not be of the onerous character
feared. _
False Resolutions.—-The House of Repre
sentatives on Monday passed the following
resolution:
“Resolved, That all forms and -degrees of
repudiation of national indebtedness are
odions to the American people, and that un
der no circumstances will their representa
tives consent to offer the public creditor as •
full compensation a less amount of money
than that which the Government contracted to
pay-
A few years ago, remarks the Richmond
Dispatch, Congress passed a solemn resolu
tion declaring that the war was not carried
on with any intention of abolishing slavery
or depriving the Southern States of any of
then- rights.
One of these resolntions is as true as the
other. Congress will be as ready to violate
the latter as it was to give the lie to the for
mer. Even on the day when this resolution
was adopted in the Honse a Radical who had
offered a similar one in the Senate could not
be induced to say that the public debt was to
be paid in gold.
» ■ » '
Naturalization.—The naturalization bill
introduced in the United States Senate by
Mr. Williams provides that aliens may be
come citizens five years after declaring their
intentions, upon taking the usual oath to
support the constitution and renouncing all
former allegiance, and producing an attested
copy of the oath taken at the time of declar
ing intentions. The bill introduced by Mr.
Ferry provides that every alien intending to
apply for naturalization to any State or Uni
ted Elates court shall, at least one month be-
fore'sach application, file with the clerk of
the said court a notice that he intends to ap
ply, which shall particularly set forth his
name, age, nationality, occupation, .residence,
personal description, date of filing his de
claration of intention, Ac., and prescribing
in detail rales to be followed in contesting
applications for admission to citizenship.—
The personal description of the grantee
shall be inserted in all certificates of natu
ralization.
Volcanoes in the Moon.—Professor Win-
looh, of Harvard University, Teports that he
has seen a volcano in active eruption in the
moon during the night; of December 1st and
2d. During the past year astronomers have
differed in opinion as to the disappearance of
the crater Linmeus, marked on the best
charts of the moon’s surface till 1868. The
destruction of this crater, if it should be the
case, is stated to be the first evidence of
actually observed changes going on at the
surface of the moon. The observations of
Professor Winloch would seem to- confirm
the conclusions of other astronomers on this
subject. The foreign journals announce that
‘ Professor J. H. Mauler, of Bonn, who is
celebrated on account of the moon charts
prepared by himself, his written a letter on
the subject. Mauler has been for many
years nearly blind, but the disappearance of
the qrater Linnaeus interests him as well as
other eminent astronomers.
The Finance Question.—A Washington
letter says the Committee on Finance have
not considered any of the numerous propo
sitions submitted to them on the subject of
specie payment, and the impression no w gen
erally 1 prevailB that ho action will be taken
by Congress on any financial measure looking
to a payment of the public debt or the re
sumption of specie payments. Senator Mob-
ton says he has no hope of the favorable con
sideration of that or any other proposition at
the present session. • •
A Washington correspondent pf the Balti
more Gazette thinks the proceedings in Con
gress on Tuesday indicate that Texas, Missis
sippi and Virginia, and perhaps Georgia,' will
be subjected to tlie infamous system Which
prevails in Tennessee and Missouri. That
eminent Conservative statesman; says the
writer, Mr. Fessenden, showed his diabolism
glaringly. The venom of this, man folly
equals that of Marat. Ti :

THE NATIONAL
MORE COXGRKSSION.
TION. .\
Senator Shebman, in pursuance of the
general policy of Congressional usurpation
inaugurated by the Radical party, introduced
in the Senate, on Monday, a bill to provide
for the incorporation of fora railroad compa
nies, to construct railroads leading from
Washington through the territories of Mary-
land aud "Virginia. Commenting ori thls ex-'
traordinary proposition, the Baltimore Sun
says; *
The schemes embodied in this bill are the'
same which the committee, at the late rail-;
road meeting in Washington, recommended
to obtain charters for from Congress. They
embrace a so-called “National Railroad
North,” to run from Washington to a point
on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, east
of Harrisbnrg; the “National Railroad South,”
; to be run from Washington-to a point on any
railroad in Virginia; the “National Chesa
peake Railroad,” to run from Washington to
Point Lookout; the “National Transporta
tion Company,” to run from the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, in Georgetown, to such point
as they may select on the Chesapeake Bay.
A similar bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives. When all these
north, east, south and west railroad facilities
are completed, Washington will certainly be
“accessible,” and besides, if it shall be here
after deemed desirable to remove the capital,
Senator Sherman seems to be providing rail
road capacity enough to take it off boflify to
any point of the compass^that may be desig
nated.
The bill for these improvements has no
money in it, but that is, perhaps, looked for
herenlter. As we have before said, applica
tions for such charters, with Maryland char
ters already existing for most of the projected
improvements, and others which may be had
by application to Maryland and Virginia,
mean money or nothing. It is not likely that
those who will not pnt money in the assured
roads now on foot, such as the Point of
Rocks, and Baltimore and Potomac, are like
ly to put it in independent parallel railroads
running in competitition with them. We
have already set forth, at some length, the
constitutional argument against internal im
provements by the general government, but
even if the constitution in this, as in other
respects, is to be disregarded, the immense
public burthens which the people now bear,
and the corruptions attendant upon substitu
ting government aid in public improvements
for private enterprise, admonish us seriously
that we have gone far' enough in that direc
tion.
The Gazette in an article on the same sub
ject says:
That Congress has no constitutional au
thority to pass such an act has been conceded
ever since the foundation of the Government.
This assertion no man would have had the
hardihood to contest a few years ago. Mr.
Sherman himself knows that his bill is in
flagrant violation of the laws and the prece
dents of eighty years. He will, of course,
invent some new interpretation of the Con
stitution. He may, perhaps, claim that as
Congress has power to regulate commerce, it
can build railroads, or that the right to raise
armies includes the right to run steam en
gines, or that the authority to promote the
progress of science and the useful arts in
cludes the power to moke an air line from
Washington to New York “seventeen miles
longer ” than the circuitous curve now in ex
istence. What sort of quibble or nonsense
he may resort to time must show, bnt it will
not change the conviction of any honest
lawyer in regard to the fact that Mr. Sherman
knows his bill to be in direct defiance of the
Ccmstituttion. Now, we admit that the Con
stitution exists in name only, and that we do
not expect the Radical party to conform to
it any further than it may suit their conve
nience. We concede that we are in the midst
of a revolution, bloodless jnst now, but
nevertheless a revolution, which is wiping
out State rights aud States lines, and is
centralizing arbitrary power in Congress.
Mr. Sherman contends, however, that the
Constitution is intact, and he affects to be
governed by it in the discharge of the duties
of his place. Yet he might just as lawfully
grant to his incorporated companies alternate
tarms along their various lines as to attempt
to give them the powers songht to be con
ferred by his bill. That this usurpation
will be resisted is certain, and it is equally
certain that the whole scheme wiU be de
feated, unless the Supreme Court shall once
more for party purposes maintain a rigid si
lence when asked to interpret the law of the
land.

OUR FUTURE.
* Middle Georgia, Dec. 14, 18C8.
The South ought to make two hundred
million dollars clear money every year. Take
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, , Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky and Tennessee—
take them all as one section—our crops of
sugar, rice and tobacco are amply sufficient
to pay for everything that we do not raise at
home. Our cotton crop, be it much or little,
will average two hundred millions a year in
currency. In ten years it will amount to two
thousand millions, every dollar of which we
can spend in developing our resources—in tre
bling and quadrupling the value of our land.
How else can we spend it ? We cannot buy
negroes. Suppose we do nothing with it but
buy specie; even then we will be the richest
people on the globe. The statistics of the
world have never shown anything like it.
Where on earth will you find ten or twelve
millions of people with a nett income of two
hundred millions a year ? If we use it so as
to make only a very small per cent., we will
scarcely know what to do with our wealth.
Think of it, Southerners, and let it lift yon
out of the “slough of despond.” We have
only to reach forth our hands to pluck the
golden fruit that bounteous nature has placed
within our reach. SURsUMCIVIS.
The Supreme Court.—The new bill in
troduced into the Senate on Monday by Mr.
Wilson provides for fourteen circuits and for
a chief justice and fourteen associate justices.
Also, that the chief justice and seven asso
ciate justices, to be annually drawn by lots,
shall hold one term annually at the seat of
Government,-and such adjourned and special
terms as they may find necessary for the dis
patch of business of said court; and the asso
date justices not drawn to hold the term of
said court at the seat of government shall an
nually hold one term in each circuit, and
such adjourned and special terms as the busi
ness of the several circuits may require.
It will make places for a number of Radi
cal politicians and trouble for the country.—

Important Decision.—The Court of Appeals
of the State of Maryland has jnst decided in
the case of Abell & Co., against the Chesa
peake Bank, that even if the Legal Tender
act be constitutional, contracts to pay in gold
or silver are enforceable according to their
terms, and judgments may and must be ren
dered on them -for payment in coin. This is
no more than every one sees to be reasonable
and proper; and in view of the conflicting
decisions on the subject, it is to be hoped
that Congress will pass the bill legalizing coin
contracts without delay.

Office of Udolpho Wolfe,
Sole Importer^ the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps,
22 Beaveb Street,
New Nork, Nov. 3, 1868.
To the People'of the Southern States.
CARR—The friends and acquaintances of Mr.
' Robert Carr and fiunily, and of Mr. Ely Otto and
family, are respectfully invited to attend the funeral
services of the former, from his residence on Walnut
street, third abor from Zubly, THIS AFTERNOON at
3 o’clock. , „ 1
When the pure medicinal restorative, now bo widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced
. into the world under 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
distinguished cheminsts for analysis, and pronounced
by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pu
rity and properties having been thus ascertained, sam
pled 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 are-
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 conld 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
facility, 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, Mid enclosed with each bottle of the
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 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 under the name of Schnapps prior to the in
troduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic 8chnapps,
is 1851; and the lable was deposited, as 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 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 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
np with common gin, the most deleterious of all
liquors, and thus made his name and brand a cover
forpois; .. _
The public, the medical profession and the sick, for
wh im ilie Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed
an a remedy, are equally interested with the proprie-
t r in the detection and suppression of these nefari
ous practices. The genuine article, manufactured at
the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam,
Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality,
and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of
the Italian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process
unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading
physicians and families in the Southern 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
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
of the most distinguished men of science in America
proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal ex
cellence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he
has expended many thousand dollars in surroundiug
it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed
shouldprotect the public and himself against fradulcnt
imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor
in the world that can be uniformly depended upon as
unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation,
analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms;
and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his
name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant.
He therfore feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens
generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to
denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evidences of identity, and he calls npon the press
aud 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 as snch 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 lias resulted in the conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been nnable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which are employed in the
adulteration of liquors. I would not hesitate to nse
myself or to recommend to others, for medical pur
poses, the Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and un
objectionable variety of gin.
Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) CHAS. a. SEELY, Chemist.
New York, 53 Cedar Street,
November 2G, 1367.
Udolpho Wolfe, Esq., Present:
Dear Sib: 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 aged and not recently prepared by
mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,
FRED. F. MAYER, Chemist.
New York, Tuesday, May 1.
Udolpho Wolfe, Esq.: *
Dear Sir: The want of pure Wines and Liqnors 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 in the purity of the
spirits sold.
We have tested the several articles imported and
sold by you, including 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 jOUf ebun^rv; and from your long ex-
srience as a foreign importer,your Bottled Wines and
iquors should meet with Qie'same deijiantJ.
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
