T I-I IS ’ MORNING NEWS FOR 1800! Ou the lot of January, 186S, The Mobhino News enters on its twentieth year. The "News is so well known throughout this section of the Southern States, that a recapitulation of its opinions or its standing is simply unnecessary.

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. > < <» » < Data, of the Baltimore Sun, says a close canvass of the sentiments of members of to remove Congress discloses a disposil the disabilities of citizens in all the Southern States, and there is scarcely a doubt that at this session a hill will pass in both houses placing the several fylntes npon sn equal foot- mg as to tiie Wectne fm£chiie. ; ’X" Alabama to be Reconstructed.—The Sen ate of Alabama has erpeUed its page, a buck darkey, for stealing a pair of shoes. . This is a clear violation of the civil rights hill- Many ® ena tors have stolen more valuable 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 : Dollars.”— in . hip recenturef __ three dollars ypll buy the fac simile frank of any member ofCongress, and the use of it by claim agents and business men, in cities, in lug books, periodicals, circulars, etc., defrauds the Government of at least Sl,- 600,000 yearly.". 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. > • m ■ * [FOR THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS.] 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.— Richmond Dispatch. Well, is not the accomplishment of those objects the main purpose of Radical legisla tion ? > I # I < 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. — ■*— . - Case of the Negro Congressman.—Mey- nard, the Louisiana negro, now in Washing ton claiming ra seat in the House of Repre sentatives from Louisiana, jsays the Library Association of \yqs}nngton did not, as here tofore stated, address hlty a note requesting him not to present his claim, bnt, on the con trary, urged him to do so.

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.

D., Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 26 Pine Street, New York Nov. 21,1807. 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.
