Ld Us Have Peace aud More Troop*.
From all corners of our lree and enlightened
republic, in which, in times past, we used to
boast of the beauties of self-government, there is
heard a hoarse cry for “troops, more troops."
The Indians on the plains are to be dispossessed
of their lands, to be driven into new reserva
tions, where the Indian agents and contractors
can swindle and demoralize them to their heart’s
content, and “this desired result,” says General
Sherman, “can only be obtained by coercion,”
and more troops. The commanding general at
Alaska, who rules over the territory and the
Inhabitants thereof, lor which we have recently
paid eight or nine millions of dollars in gold,
Bays civil government is a humbug for that part
ot the free and enlightened republic, and that
troops—infantry, cavalry, and artillery—bayo
nets, sabres and grape shot, are the most efficient
instruments wherewith to educate the Alaskiaus
in the lessons oi republicanism. The military
commander in ihe territory ol Arizona cries out
lustily for an “increase of force”—more troops.
Ho wants to exterminate the Apaches,
and wo believe that his plan is the only
way to deal with that uutameahle tribe of
savages. General Thomas, who thinks
that any complaint by tho people of Tennessee
against the mild, paternal government of the
saintly Brownlow aud his pious coadjutors is
rampant rebellion, wants troops, more troops,
as a matter ot course; aud then he wauts to
reconstruct Kentucky and establish there an
other Brownlow, (if, indeed, such another mon
ster is to be found out of Satan’s dominions)
and for the accomplishment of so big a job as
this, be not unnaturally wants very many more
troops. In Texas, too, the commander has ur
gent need of more troops. The Indians have
been allowed to play the mischief for a long
time, because the troops in that State have been
employed in diflusing radicalism at the point of
the bayonet, and have not been entirely success
ful in their efforts. To keep the white people
and the Indians In a proper state ot subjection
to strike terror into the Democrats and the Ca
manches, Reynolds must have more troops.—
Even our own military commander, Geueral
Meade, is not satisfied with the existing subordt
nation of the military to the civil authority, and
he asks for “more power,” which means
more troops. In Mississippi, alone,
the commanding General satisfied that he
has troops enough. Things are going on
in that Slate in such a satisfactory manner that
“ there has been no necessity for the troops sta
tioned there.” In the Southern States taken in
the aggregate, the Secretary of War declares
officially thut there is an “ unusual disposition
to lawlessness and crime,” the civil government
is “ comparatively inefficient,” and nothing can
stop this and guai&nlee pure republicanism but
more troops.
We thought that reconstruction was an emi
nent succeas, and that the Republican party
called upon tho couutiy to sing hallelujahs over
»o beautifully perfect a work, and yet the only
place where there has been “ no necessity (or
the use of troops ” is one of the three States
which lias not been reconstructed at all and
where tha chances are that reconstruction will
be indefinitely postponed on account ot the
weather. There must be a screw loose some
where. We fear that our congratulations
at the “ success ” of reconstruction must have
been rather premature, otherwise there would
not be such a general shout for more troops, ami
there would be no necessity for Sumner’s Geor
gia bill.
We have a painful misgiving that reeonstruc
tion such as Sumner desires is not exactly prac
ticable. The white men of the Soulhera States
have a decided objection to be ruled by negroes
and Knights of the Carpetbag, and not only
have they this objection, but they declare it
opanly and refuse to be so ruled. More troops
may fix it. A soldier with a bayonet or a sabre
or a field piece behind every white man may
prevent the white men from statiDg their objec
tion, but will it not take a heap of soldiers, bay
onets, sabres aud field pieces ? Meantime “Let
us have peace” and above all “more troops.”
Horton Retlivivus.
A short time ago we sited briny tears over a
lengthy article in the New York Tribum which
detailed the brutal assassination at Huntsville
Ala., of a distinguished son of Massachusetts,
one Gustavas Horton, whose signal merit aud
the grace of Radicalism had elevated to the
Bench as Probate Judge at. Mobile. The “out
rage” was frightful, learlul, terrible. Horton
was all that was great ami good and civilized
and trooly loil. He loved me Digger with the
requisite effusion. He iully believed iutheiu.
hsriority of the white race (a not unnatural belief,
by the way, if formed by a contract between the
niggers and himself; but he was foully assassi
nated by Rebels, Democrats, Ku-Kluxcs, and
Copperheads on the morning of the 4th day ot
November A. D. 1868. The place, the day, the
hour, the minute, were given, where ami when
the great Horton tell a martyr to trooly-loilty.
There was nothing omitted which could add to
the brutality of the “outrage.”
But we find that our briny tears were shed
in vain. Our lamentations for Horton were un
necessary. Our denunciation of those horrid
Ku-Kluxcs was undeserved. Our sympathy
witn the trooly loil was wasted. Because Hor
ton was not assassinated at all at Huntsville or
anywhere else. The rebels, Ku-Kluxes, Demo
crats and Copperheads never interfered with
him corporeally or otherwise. In point of fact
Horton on the 2d day ot Decemher of this year
ot grace, administered the law as Probate
Judge of Mobile. It was no ghostly or ethereal
Hortou, “revisiting the glimpses ot the Moou” in
order to induce some young Horton to “revenge
his loul and most unnatural murther.” It was
the original Gustavns himself in no “questionable
shape,” with no “airs from heaven” but rather
with a lew “blasts” from the other place, setting
in a split bottom cha ; r, victimizing the unfortu
nate people of Alabama by his ignorance, and
pocketing any quantity of greenbacks for his
service*!?)
While we are glad to know that the lamented
Horton is no longer lamentable, but alive and
kicking, w# are much incensed against Greeley
lor having so inhumanly lacerated our feelings
by eo heartless a fabrication.
Special T at •graphic Correspondence of the Louisville
Courier-Joarnal.
Trow Washington.
IN THE SENATE.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 14, ISffS.
Some preparatory legislation was accomplished
to-day on financial matters. In the Senate Mor
ton introduced his bill, heretofore published,
providing for the redemption of the legal tender
currency, aud will make a speech upon it on
W ednesday. Cole introduced one providing lor
coin contracts.
IN THE HOUSE.
Lynch’s bill providing for a contraction of the
curreucy and a convertible small interest-bear
ing bond was made the special order for the 6th
of January. Garfield, ot Ohio, also introduced
a bill, which was referred to the Committee on
Ways and Means, providing that contracts may
be made in coin, as recommended in McCul
loch’s report. Neither ot the financial commit
tees had a meeting to-day.
ALASKA INVESTIGATION.
The Committee on Public Expenditures were
directed by the House to day to send for per
sons and papers and investigate the charges
made in the Worcester Spy, that a corruption
fund was spent among members, newspaper
men, lobbyists, and others, to secure the passage
of the hill paying for Alaska. Mr. Hurlburt, of
New Yoik, is chairman of the committee, and
intends to proceed at once in the investigation,
and will be assisted materially in ascertaining
the truth of the charges by such representatives
of the press as have been pat down in the pub
lication referred to with haring received a lee.
DISABILITIES.
There were at least a dozen bills introduced
in tue House to-day by the Southern members,
to remove the political disabilities from South
ern men. The Reconst^clion Committee in
tend to delay the action a^resent on them and
then bring in a general bill covering all of the
cases referred to them. The disposition for am
nesty is quite liberal.
postal telegraph.
The House Postal Committee had up to-day
the bill providing for a Government postal tele
graph system. The Western Union line appeared
in opposition to the bill, and a majority ol the
members seemed opposed to it, though the com
mittee took no definite action.
VIRGINIA.
Leading Conservatives in Virginia propose to
accept, with a protest, negro suffrage as a fixed
fact, and abandon all opposition to it, but to.,
oppose the iron-clad disfranchising oath of the
new constitution of that State. This course, it
is believed, will secure a large colored vote lor
the Conservatives. An address embodying these
views will shortly be issued.
MINISTER JOHNSON.
A statement freely prevails to-day, that Rcv-
erdy Johnson writes that, as soon as the pro
tocol is agreed upon lor the settlement ot the
Alabama claims, he will return to this country
to explain its features and urge its adoption by
the Senate.
EXTENSION OF STAY LAWS.
General Stoneman has prepared an order ex
tending the stay laws in Virginia, which is a
matter of great consequence to the debtor class,
who compose nine-tenths of the population.
CONGRESSIONAL RECESS.
Congress has agreed to adjourn virtually lrom
Saturday to the 5th of January. Ths Senate
to-day concurred in the House resolution for a
recess from December 21 to January 5th. The
Senators appear to be indisposed to enter regu
larly upon business before the hclidays, and this
week promises to be unusually dull.
OBITUARIAL.
In the House two days at least, Thursday and
Friday, will be devoted to the obituaries of Thad.
Stevens and Mr. Finney, of Pennsylvania, and
it is not improbable that the deaths of Mr. Hind
man, of Arkansas, and others who died during
the recess, may be announced.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Four constitutional amendments were intro
duced in the House to-day on the suffrage ques
tion and referred to the Judiciary Committee,
which is indisposed to touch the question at
present.
RESCISSION OF THE RATIFICATION.
The lesolutions of the Oregon Legislature re
scinding the ratification by that State of the 14th
constitutional amendment, were received to-day
and referred to the House Judiciary Committee,
who have before them the question ol the legal
power to rescind such ratifications as presented
in similar resolutions of the Ohio Legislature at
the last session.
NO INCREASE OF SALARY.
The demand of the departmental clerks for
an increase ot salary ot 20 per cent, from July
last, was defeated in the House to-day bj r 20 ma
jority. It called for about two millions of dol
lars lrom the Treasury.
JUDICIAL.
In the House to-day McKee introduced a bill
constituting Kentucky one judicial district, and
Plants, ot Ohio, presented one dividing Ohio
into three judicial districts, or virtually adding
one in the lat ter -State. Both were referred.
CONTESTED ELECTION.
The Ninth Missouri House contested case of
Switzlervs. Anderson comes before the Election
Committee to morrow. Anderson, the sitting
member, who asked last session lor more time
to take evidence, has not filed a line, and the
case will go against hitu again.
ELECTIVE VOTE OF ILLINOIS.
J >hu D. Strong, electoral messenger ot Illi
nois, has arrived here, the first messengers, with
the first ot the electoral certificates of the vote
lor President and Vice-President. The vote was
filed to-day with the Secretary of the Senate.
, ship canal.
An effort for the passage of a hill for a ship
canal around the falls of Niagara was made
again in the House to-day, and was warmly sup
ported by the Western members. It will be
considered again about the 1st of January.
JUDGE CHASE AND THE DAVIS TRIAL.
Chief Justice Chase, who has recently return
ed iroin Richmond, speaks in fl ittering terms of
the Southern people. He thinks there are no
people more loyal or more anxious tor peace aud
harmony between the two sections, and that, if
permitted to do so, they would very soou reco
ver from the disastrous results of the rebellion.
Tho action of the Chief Justice in sustaining the
motion to quash the Davis indictment was an
ticipated, but it was expected that the vindictive
autre of Judge Underwood would prompt him
to dissent aud necessitate the question beiug cer
tified to the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice
looks there is no doubt about his opinion bring
sustained by the other members of the court.

NIGHT DISPATCHES.
Tbe Georgia Senator.
The Washington correspondent of the Louis-
vilie Courier-Journal telegraphs that paper on
the 13th instant as follows :
The Senate Judiciary Committee have agreed
upon a report in the case of Mr. Hill, Senator
elect from Georgia, which may be presented to
i he Senate to morrow. The majority of the
committee, it is said, recommend the admission
of Mr. Hill to a seat in the Senate. From pre
sent indications, such a recommendation will
meet with strong opposition from several Radi
cal Senators.
A Washington letter says: “ By far the
most significant object seen on the floor was the
Hon. Mr. Menard, Congressmen elect from
Louisiana. It was the first ray—or, rather, the
first shade of the coming cloud. The race is to
be represented on tbe floor ot Congress, and I
looked with some interest on this first specimen.
He is a man of about forty-five, of medium si»a
as to bight, well formed, with an intelligent lace,
rather good head, and ol a bright mulatto color.
He is stud to be an amiable gentleman, and quite
rich. He stood in au easy, quiet way near the
loak-room, aud stood aloLe. My friends, the
hot gospelers, did not surround him much, and
Butler (the Leasi) did not put his arms arourftl
his neck.”

summoned before the Reconstruction Commit
tee of the House, and requested to give his opin
ion as to the proper mode of overcoming the
difficulties in Georgia, recommended that there
should be a liberal execution of the reconstruc
tion acts, which required the primal organiza
tion of the State Legislature to be made by tbe
admission of only those who could take the test
oath, or had been relieved of their disabilities
by Congress. This course wonld restore the
colored men to their seats, without any special
legislation, and place the legislative department
of Georgia in the hands cf loyal men. After
the adoption by such a body ot the fundamental
conditions precedent to the State’s admission to
tbe Union, all members eligible under the State
Constitution and the 14lh amendment would be
admitted to seats, and no further action by Con
gress would be necessary.

GUANO COMPANY.
CAPITAL 1,000,000.
SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
T HIS GUANO is found by experience to po seas fully
equ*l, and, under lorne conditions, gi cater, ferti
lising power thau Peruvian Guano. Its cost per ton is
at least $30 less than Peruvian ; hence, planters can
aitord to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater
benefits.
According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq.,
of Columbus. Ga., to whom we refer, 209 pounds per
ucre of Soluble Pacific Guano increased the crop three
to four times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
five to six times.
Dihections for Use : —Strew one half the quantity to
be applied per acre in the drill, or hill, and plant upon it.
When the cotton or coru is brought to a stand, aud well
up, ray lour or five inches, sow the other hali broadcast
between the rows, before the plows. This is found to
be a better method than to apply all in the drill.
This Guano not only increases theorop so largely, but
mntnres it from two to four weeks earlier—thus adding
so long a time to the bearing season, and makes a good
crop, notwithstanding it be attacked by caterpillar.
The use of this Guano in Georgia on the last crop
paid from 200 to 400 per cent, on the investment.
Every planter, who is incredulous as to the-e facts,
should at Last satisfy himself by a trial on a -mall scale,
as the outlay will be small, while the experience gained
will prove of great value. The culture of poor lanu will
not compensate without the use of concentra’ed ferti
lizers, and that which is best, at least cost, must be pre
ferred. See testimonials annexed. For further infor
mation, certificates, price, e c , apply to

OF THE SCHItSAM ABOKATIC SCHNAPPS
22 Beaveb Stbeet, N*w Yobr, Nov. 3,1868. j
To the People of the Southern States :
When the pure medicinal restorative, now so widely
known as Wolfe’s Schiedam Sch; apps, was introduced
into the world under the endorsement of four thousand
eadiug members of the medical profession some twenty
years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could
nol wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and
useful preparations. He, therelore, endeavored to in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against couu-
terfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enalysis, aud pronounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity aud properties
having been thus ascertained, samples of theartic.e were
lorwarded to ten thousand physiciaus, including all ihe
leading practitioners in the United Slates, for purposes
of experiment. A c.rcular, requesting a trial of tbe pre
paration and report of the resuit, accompanied each spe
cimen. Four thousand ol the most eminent medical men
in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions ot
the article were unanimously favorable. Sueh a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wauted by the profession,
as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of
commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated,
and therefore unfit for medical purpos. s. The peculiar
excellence and streugth of the oil of juniper, whioh form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether wi.h an unalloyed character ot the alcoholic ele
ment., give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other difiusive stlmulaut as a diu
retic, Ionia, and restorative.
These satisfactory credentials lrom professional men
of the highest rank were published in a condensed form,
and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of
the guarantees of its genuineness. Other precautions
against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained
or the article, tne label was copyrighted, a fast simile o
the proprietor’s antograph signature was attaeuw to
eaeh label aud cover, his name and that of tho prepara
tion were embossed on the bottles, aud the corks were
sealed with his private seaL No article bud ever been
sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior
to the introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in ltsol; aud the label was deposited, as his
trade mark, Jn the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York during that year.
It might be supposed by persons unacquainted w’tii
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 those Schnapps wonld have pre
cluded the introductions and stle oi counterfeits. Thev
seem, however, only to have stimulated the r.nmcity of
impostors. The trade mark or the proprietor has been
stolen; the indorsement which his Fcnieduru Aromatic
Setanapp3 alone received from the medical profession
has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels
and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishon
orable retailers, afl.r disposing of the genuine contents
of his bottles, have fllled them up with common gin, the
most deleterious of all liquors, and Mas made his name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the sick, fot
whom the 8chiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as
a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor in
the detection and suppression of these nefarious prac
tices. The genuine article, manuftictured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Hollaed, is
distilled lrom a barley of the finest quality, and flavored
with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juni
per, of unuqualcd purity. By a process unknown in the
preparation of any other liquor, It. is freed lrom every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have been received from the leading physi
cians aud families in the Southern Slates of the Bale of
cheap imitations ot the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps in
those markets, and travelers who are in the habit of
using it as an antidode to the baneful influence or un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the uuderslgned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, aud 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 pro
duced, from under the hands of the most distinguished
men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Schnapps; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in surrounding it with guarantees aud safeguards
which he designed should protect the public and himself
agoiustfraudulent imitations; that ho has sho%vn it to be
the only liquor in tlie world that can be uniformly de
pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaisou, and experiment in
all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation
which b ars his name, sail, and trade mark, has coma off
triumphant. He therefore fee’s it a duty he owes to his
fellow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and
the sick, to denounoe and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, aad he calls upon
the press and the public to aid him in hi* eflorts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and chemkts oi this city will prove to the
reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they
are represented to be.
UDOLPHO WOLFS.
I feel bound to say that I legard your Schnapps as be-
ingin every respeet pre-eminently pure, and deserving of
medical patronage. At all event s, it is the purest possi
ble article of Holland Gin, heretofore unobtainable, aud
as such may be sAfely prescribed by physicians.

Udolpho Wolfe, Esq^ J resent;
Deab Sib—1 have madqa shemisal examination of a
sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of
determining if any foreign or injurious substances had
been added to the simple distilled spirits.
The examination has resulted in the conclusion that
the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admix
ture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the
deleterious substances which are employed m the adul
teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself,
or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the
Schiedam Schnapps aa an excellent and unobjectionable
variety of gin.
Very respectfully yours,

Drab Sir—I have submitted to chemieal analysis two
bottles of Schiedam Schnapps, which I took from a fresh
package in your bonded warehouse, ann find as before,
that the spirituous liquor is free lrom injurious ingredi
ents or falsification ; that it has the marks of being aged
and not recently prepared by mechanical admixture oi
alcohol and aromatics.
Respectfully,

Dear Era—The want of pure wines and liquors forme
dieinal purposes has been long felt by the profession,
and thousands of lives have been sacrificed by the use of
adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other dis
eases or the brain aud nerves so rife in this conntry, are
very rare in Enrope, owing, in a great degree, to tbu dif
ference in the purity of the spirits sold.
We hi ve tested the several articles imported and sold
by you, including your Gin, which you sell under ths
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con
sider jnstly entitled to ihe high reputation it has acquired
in this conntry; aud from your long experience as a for
eign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liqnors should
meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint some of the re
spectable apothecaries In different parts of the city a
agents for the sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes
Wishing yon success in your new enterprise,
We remain your obedient servants,
