The Georgia Senators.—A Washington
correspondent of the New York World says:
Joshua Hill, Senator elect from Georgia, who -
was assured by Senator Sherman of admis
sion, has at last gone home, and said he
wonld not return until he was telegraphically
advised either that his credentials would he
received or rejected. It comes out that Gov
ernor Bullock exerted all his little influence
to have the credentials signed by himself, at
least deferred until some action was taken in
regard to the condition of affairs in the State.
Hilt, accuses him of duplicity, and Senator
. Sherman was pretty free in his statements re
garding him last Monday. No notice at all
was taken of Dr. Miller, the other Senator,
who has not so openly espoused Radicalism
as his colleague. Senator Patterson, of Ten
nessee, however, intends to offer Miller’s
credentials on the 5th, and his case will then
be on a footing with Hill’s.
Danger of Sky-Kockets. —In Memphis on
Christmas-eve, while Mr. Reuben Pattison,
youngest son of Col. Geo. Pattison, the well
known bookseller of that city, was walking
on Main street, he was struck down by a sky
rocket fired by some one from outside the
confectionary under Odd Fellows’ Hall, im-
diately opposite. The -missile, instead of
shooting upwards, as intended, whizzed
. across the street, striking young Pattison
lull upon-the side of the calf of the leg. It
passed through, exploded after striking, tore
away the flesh and ligaments in great masses,
and severed the main artery. An incision
was thus made nearly two inches in depth, and
extending for several inches either way, Re
vealing a most frightful gash.
Mr. Pattison fell on the pavement as
though pierced by a bullet. At last accounts
fears are entertained for his recovery.
A Bad Night’s Work.—Under this head
ing the Macon Telegraph publishes the pro
ceedings of our City Council consummating
the transfer of the city stock in the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad, and adds: “Now, while
Savannah has chosen to adopt what appears
to ns the suicidal policy of substantially put
ting all her communications with the interior
under the exclusive control of a single corpo
ration, she had the alternative of an equally
advantageous sale of her Atlantic and Gulf
bonds to a oompany which would have given
her another independent route to Macon, and
the benefit of the trade and produceof a vast
section of Georgia, as yet without outlet to
the seaboard. That is what we call a bad
trade for Savannah, although she may enter
tain a different opinion.”
already there are indications of a factions op
position t6 the incoming President from
the jGrtrqmaRadicals, which m?? greatly

set In the degree that tho Ifadical legiders-
believe General Grant to be honest jiatriotic
and magnanimous, in • the Same degree 4°
they distrust him, and fearing to lose the ad
vantage which the revolutionary legislation
of the present Congress has given them, until
they have proved his tractability, they hesi
tate to reinstate the Presidential office on its
constitutional basis, or to adopt such meas
ures as may tend to diminish their control
over the Executive Department of the Gov-
eminent. -
The first indication of the apprehended
conflict between the new President and the
ultra TbiAicidH, manifested itself in the Senate
in the opposition of the Indian Committee to
the transfer of the Indian Bureau to .the War
Department, a measure known to be favored
by General Grant. • In addition to this, Sena
tor Conkling’s bill far repeal the act requiring
the Forty-first Congress to assemble in March,
and the opposition to the repeal of the Civil
Tenure hill, which having been passed under
pretence of hedging an untrustworthy
Executive, is regarded by General Grant
as an indirect insult to himself,—are
manifestations of distrust, if not hostility,
which, if report be true, he is not disposed
quietly to brook. It is stated that within
a'few days past, General Grant has expressed
himself with great emphasis to two members

A Hook and Ladder Truck Demc
by Irons.—The Augusta Chronicle relates that
while the Hook and Ladder Company of that
city were passing down . Broad street, on
Christmas- Eve, in order to avoid running
over a crowd of people, they inclined their
truck sharply. to the inside ofthe pavement,
and brought. up . against the bronze lions,
making a total wreck of the machine. The
company escaped without injury. Lions are
dangerous animals to be at large in a city,
especiallyon Christmas Eve.

Christmas Pabty at the White House.—
The gay season was inaugurated in Washing
ton by President Johnson’s grand children,
who gave a party at the White House, to
which a very general invitation to the little
people of Washington was given. There was
no discrimination op account of loyalty. ! *5
Gen. Meade..—The 2K5tme says it is the in
tention of the Senate Reconstruction Com
mittee to ascertain the views of Gen. M». ro
upon placing Georgia under a provisional
Government The Macon Telegraph predicts
that Gen. Meade will give, no support or
countenance to . the projoct :
_ - Gn Tuesday, in the Senate, Sumner brought
in a bill to strike the word “white” put ofthe
naturalization laws. He is in hopes of a
strong emigration from Africa to this favored
land ofthe negro. He wants real Africans;
“Americans of African descent” are not black
enough for him.
The Souik Georgian says: We learn that
Dr. P. M. D. Hopkins, a member of the pre
sent Legislature of Georgia, from Miller
county, died of pneumonia a short time
since.
A correspondent of the New York Com-
1 merciaZ Advertiser says General. Grant: is op
posed to the prolongation of the Freedmen’s
circumstances.
Ex-Governor Letcher reports Virginia „„
decidedly likely to defeat the black-and-tan
constitution.
of CongresB, decidedly in favor of the Forty-
first Congress meeting in March next, at the
same time declaring that if Conkling’s l>ill
to repeal the act fora continuous session,
passes, hia first official act will be to convene
the new Congress in extraordinary session by
proclamation forthwith. Alluding to this
declaration of General Grant, the Washing
ton correspondent of the World says; “This
resolve is the first Grant has yet made public
at all in reference to his approaching admin
istration. What his purpose is is only to be
explained by recent occurrences, and princi
pal among them is the exposure of the inten
tion to burden his administration with all the
clogs fastened on Mr. Johnson. It is evident
that he intends to have something, to say, and
his energetic declaration to-day fills the Rad
icals with apprehension.”
It is too soon tc speculate with any cer
tainty in reference fa> the incoming adminis
tration. So far as the hopes of the. country
are centred on General Grant, the prospect
is hopeful. He stands independent of party.
He can have no motives that are not patriotic.
He cannot oppose Radical usurpation
and misrule and be wrong; and he may be
sure that in a conflict for the restoration of
the Constitution, of the usurped rights and
prerogatives of the Executive office, and the
re-establishment of. the nicely adjusted
checks and balances of our republican system
of government, he will be sustained by the
patriotic, honest and liberty-loving masses of
the American people, of all sections and all
parties.
Reconciliation between President John
son and Gen. Grant.—Another indication of
the approaching era of good feeling is to be
found in the effort which we are assured is
being made among inflnential and slightly
conservative Republicans in Washington to
restore amicable relations between President
Johnson and Gen. Grant, who Air some time
past have not been on speaking terms. A"
Washington letter says Senator Henderson
is in charge of the negotiations, and that they
may take form in & call from the General at
the White House on New Year’s day. The
difference is believed to be founded only on
such issues as are dead; and, in view of the
inauguration, it is esteemed highly desirable
that each should say “Let us have peace.”
The true men of the country will hail Mr.
Henderson’s success in this matter with un
feigned satisfaction.
From Washington,;—We were pleased
yesterday to meet Hon. Nelson Tift, Con
gressman from the Second District en route
home from the National capital. He does
not pretend to conceal his grave fears for the
future, yet thinks it still in the power of the
people of Georgia to block the Radical game,
and secure, by wise management, a sub
stantial victory in the pending contest over
the status of the State. In due time, doubt
less, the public will be apprised of the line
of policy to achieve this desired result. Mr.
Tift thinks that the Edmunds bill, which
.makes the. present State Government < pro
visional in its nature, is a foregone cohclu-
sipn, unless the Congressional majority, can
be divided by the substitution, therefor, of
some other measure.—if aeon Messenger, ,
Augusta Theatricals.—A number of ladies
and gentlemen of Augusta gave a dramatic
performance at the Theatre in that city last
week for the benefit of the poor of the City.
The entertainment netted the handsome sum
of $500, which amount has been placed in
the hands of benevolent ladies for distribu
tion among the destitute widowB and
orphans. The Chronicle and; Constitutionalist
give very extended and flattering, notices of
the performances of the lady and gentlemen
thespions.

Southern Loyalist Claims.—The amount
of claims presented by alleged Southern
loyalists for damages to property by Federal
troops, now on the table of the Seriate Com
mittee on Claims, amount to just half a mil-.
lion dollars; brit Senators are of the opinion
that the passage of the very first claim, as a
precedent, will swell the list to hundreds of
millions of dollars.

THE COTTON CHOP.
The New York limes says:
The cotton crop figures now
tify the anticipations of the ea
year, that the yield would he huger this year
than it was last; in other words, they show
that, the crop of 1867-’68'will be close upon'
two and a half million hales, or half .a millio]
bales over the crop of 1866- 67. The follows
ing statement, showing the movements in
cotton at the dripping ports, will be found of
interest: • ? J

the condition.of the Southern, people. 'Rut

Northern Cmuzmi®.—‘The New. York
Herald says:
Murder as one of the fine arts, as described
by Dr. Quincy, finds almost daily illustrations
in moral and puritanical New England. It is
evident that the lessons oi the ancestors of
the New England people, wholiring Quakers
mid burnt witches for pastime. are not forgot
ten. Seriously, cannot our New England phi
lanthropists and philosophers pause a mo
ment in their missionary works among the
fur off Hindoos andfat and lazy Africans, and
set about improving the immoral atmosphere
with which they are surrounded, and m re
claiming from Satan’s grip the poor, shiver
ing souls akin to their own flesh and blood ?
A truly shocking State of affairs prevails in
New England, and something should be done
to check the course of society there in-its
downward career to utter demoralization.
The New York Sun, speaking of the way
•justice” is administered in that city, says;
Every lawyer will recognize the fidelity of
the following sketch from the pen of Mr. Dyer:
“What judge is ypur case coming before ?”
“Judge
“Then you must retain Mr. •
Such are the conversations which one now
constantly hear in the law offices and court
rooms of New York cily; and what a depth
of professional and judicial degradation such
remarks reveal! In tact, with some excep
tions, the whole method of the business of
the bar and of the begph has become repul
sive to honest men.” r\q j -,i-
The fact is that the judges rather reflect
the sentiments and character of low, pot
house politicians, than those of the average
men of the community. They come on to
the bench indebted to these wretches for
their election; and, under the thin guise of
judicial forms, they rob and plunder honest
men to pay their own political debts, and to
fill their own pockets.
Corruption Everywhere and W Almost
All Things.—Not long ago BDenry^Waed
Beecher delivered a sermon upon a “corrupt
judiciary,” and a son of Judge Peckham ven
tured a reply. Mr. Beecher dediries to take
back,
and conclui
20 years ago. Its proprietor was well aware that
could not wholly escape the.penalty attached to all
newand 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
dtsfiuguts'h'/wSe'herutuBta for analysis, and pronounced I
by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pu
rity and properties having been thus ascertained, asm-'
pies of the article were fprwarded to ten thousand, I
physicians, in/-lwUwg sit the jsaiting practitioners in,
the United States, for purposes of experimeri. A
circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and are-
port ofthe resnlt, accompanied each speciment. Four
thousand of, the most eminent medical men in tho
, Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho j
article were nnanimonsly favorable. Such a prepara-,
tion, they eatdj had long been wanted by tho profes
sion; as no reliance conld be placed on -the ordinary
liquors'of -commerce, all of which were' mure or less
adulterated, and therefore unfit tor medical purposes.
The peculiar bxcelence and strength ofthe ailof juni
per, which formed oneof the principle ingredients of
tho 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

For orice, at least, Henry Ward Beecher
has uttered a truth which cannot he too
strongly emphasized. Corruption—the power
of capital—is just now the imminent danger.
U remains to he demonstrated that the peo
ple are so virtuouB that they will not tolerate
corruption in their servants.
The long continued visionary search for the
“ Kidd treasures ” will probably be rivalled
in some" of the Western States by a search
for the rrioney secreted by the Beno brothers,
lately hung by the Ku Klrix in Indiana. . An
Indiana paper ..says: “Frank: Berio alone
knew of the place where was, deposited nine
ty thousand dollars; the proceeds of one of
his many robberies; His sister visited him
some days before hevvas'Tiung; and tried to
induce him to tell where' this hoard was con
cealed, brit'he refused, telling her that if he
conld- not live fo enjoy it no orje else should.
The secret died with him.—Columbus Enquirer.

The public, the medidatprofession and tha sick, for
Srtjojp ^tha Schiedam, Aromj^cjSchhapps is prescribed
as a rent -A -;. interested with the propxie-
toslnth- jon^tlon sa»J suppre^sfoa of these nefari
ous prar Bees. The genuine article, manirihcpjrcd
thr establishment of the undersigned, in. Schiedam,
Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality,
-auj flavored with an essential extract of the berry of I
the feiJfon juniper, of unequalled purity.' By a process j
unknown ia the preparation of any other liquor; it is
freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element
Complaints have been reqeiyed tfojfi the leading
pfryfricrfariH imd femflies in th^ Southern States ofthe
. sale of cheap imitations of Hie. Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in
the habit of using it as an antidote, to the baneful in-
flnjepce of unwholesome river water, testify that cheap
gin* put up jn 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 bf deception. In conclusion, the undersigned
would say that he has produced, from under the hands
effhe most distinguished men of science in America
proofs unanswerable of the purity and medicinal ex
cellence Qf the S_c^iedam Aromatic Schnapps; that he
has sxp.ended many thousand dollars in surrounding
it with guarantees aqd safeguard®? designed
shouldprotecf the public and himself against fradulent
inflations; 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
daqonnce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit
these evigeQCbP of identity, and he calls upon the press
and thepnbiic to aid him in his efforts to remedy so
great an evil.

Dear Sib: I have made a chemical examination of
sample of your Schiedam. Schnapps, with the intent 1
of determining if any.foreign or injurious substance,
had been added to the simple distilled spirits.
The examination hasYesulted in toe conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmfnl admix
ture.. I have been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which are employed in toe
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.

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 baa the
marks of being aged and not recently prepared by
mechanical admixture of alcohol and aromatics.

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
great degree, to the difference in toe purity of the
spirits sold. *
We have tested tho 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 this country; and from your long ex
perience as a foreign importer,your Bottled'Wines and
Liquors should meet with the same demand. ;
We would recommend you to appoint some of toe
respectable apothecaries in different parts bf toe city
as agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines,
where the profession can obtain the same when need
ed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success in your new enterprise,
We remain your obedient servants,
