HU WbereabvuU.
We notice, among other officers visiting Cin
dnnati recently, attendants upon General Grant
Georgia’s first military commander, Gen. John
Porn—he to whom the “loll” press of the State
was indebted for “Order No. 49.” May he live
long to learn in what eatimation he is held by a
people and a press that he tyranized over to
gratify the vindictive feelings of his nature; i
nature in which neither bravery nor veracity is
an element. _
Tho Alaska Mouejr.
The New York Herald, commenting upon the
fact that the Congressional investigating com
mitiec, charged with looking into what became
of the Alaska money, says it gives the commit
tee the appearance “ in some degree ” of step
ping on delicate ground. In our opinion
does so, not only in “ some degree,” but in a
great degree ; and it will, we have no doubt, as
the Herald, says, be asked wbat “ Congress has
to do with the question how Russia spends her
dtoney, and wbat power It possesses to pat
questions to Russia’s authorized agents as to the
disposal they make to all sorts ot irresponsible
persons ot money that came honestly into their
possession. The answer is, that Congress moves
with regard to tho privilege and character ot
members. The allegation has been made on
substantial authority that a large amount ol
money was spent hero by Russia through differ
ent parties with the purpose ot affecting the
votes of members of Congress, and Congress
itself, concerned shout its own purity, bases the
investigation on that point. Is it not odd that
Congress waited for a case with Russia to inves
tigate the honesty ot its members <p money
charges?"
It is indeed odd that Congress has waited for
a case with Russia to investigate the honesty of
its members on money, or other charges, when
so many cases present themselves within the
reach ot that body at home, within the precincts
of the national capitol. The move has more
the appearance of getting up a case for bun-
combo purpo.es than with a view to actually
investigate the honesty ®t members. Russia can
not and will not respond tetlie call. If she has
bribed members ot Congress, she will not ex
pose them, and she will be very apt to say to
the Investigating committee that Congress had
belter attend to its own business and 1st Russia
alone. The United States and Russia have long
been fast friends. Mutual interests have mads
them so. But Russia, with her bear-like proclivi
ties for hugging, is very apt too to display her clam
when her diplomacy is intruded upon, and she
will bt very apt to display the latter when Con
gress pr^^Ua^ktluu party to any fraud
ulent orWmdPng iransfctlon, even though it
may be designed to vindicate the honor ot that
incorruptible body.
But in reference to the Alaska money, it seems
that Secretary Seward, who has been before the
investigating committee, has testified that he
knew nothing of any sums having been paid “to
influence the passage of the Alaska Appropria
tion bill, but recommend to Baron Stockel, the
Russian Minister, Robert J. Walker, as a man
who could be made useful in laying before the
people facts in relation to the Russian-Ameriean
possessions. Two newspaper correspondents
were examined, but they .knew nothing about
the matter, and their letters only retailed street
rumors. Thus tar it has been shown that but
one person connected with the press realized
anything by this Alaska transaction.”
The paper relerred to in the foregoing, as will
be seen in the iollowlug paragraph, is Forney’s
Washing*#“daily,” the Chronicle:
“He'( Walker) advised Baron Stoeckel to pay
Colonel Forney three thousand dollars in gold
for his kinduess in giving the use of the columns
ot the Washington Chronicle to Mr. Walker For
discussion of the subject. Col. Forney declined
to receive the money on the ground that he was
an officer ot the Seuate, and he therefore did
not think it proper to take the proffered iunds.
Mr. Walker insisted, nevertheless, that the
Chronicle publisher mast have the coin, and
alter much persuasion by himself and Baron
Stoeckel, Mr. D. C Forney, the publisher of the
paper, brother of Colonel Forney, accepted the
money.”

The bank statement is again unfavorable, but

he legal tenders show a decrease ot $3,219,000,
and the deposits are $6,200,000 lower, indicating
a large outward fiew ot funds. The loans, how
ever, are nearly $1,000,000 lower. The surplus
over the legal reserve has been reduced $2,188,-
000, leaving the snrplus about $15,000,000. The
railway shares took a very buoyant turn toward
the close. The bank statement was favorable
to a rise. Brie was the only exception, and re
mained flat. The greatest buoyancy was shown
in Northwestern shares, which advanced to 78$

ing. Mr. Stewart is said to be worth the corn-
tor table sum of $40,000,000, and a correspondent
of the Philadelohia Sunday Dispatch savs of
him:
He mast be seventy years of age. He has no
children. He is so excessively close in ail his
transactions, so exceedingly provident in all his
disbursements, that his expense ot living must
be comparatively insignificant. His income,
therefore, is inordinate. Gossip sums it np at
eight millions a year. No wonder—poor fellow !
he is compelled to harass his soul out of his aged
body in schemes to monopolize the trade of The
metropolis, and absorb from the business of all
others enough to keep him ont of the alms
house! Truly, I pity his indigence. I really
thought, as Rothschild said of his friend who
died worth only eight millions, that he was “in
easy circumstances.” But he cannot live much
longer; and then won’t the money fly I More
over, it is my firm opinion that his death will
occasion nothing but newspaper regret. He is
by no means a popular gentleman. He seems to
have inspired nobody but that blind old lady,
Fortune, with an affection for him. He pays

THE DUTY ON COPPER.
Th e Senato held a brief session to-day, but
accomplished no legislative business. An at
tempt to lake np the House bill to increase the
duties on copper ore failed by 22 ayes to 25 nays.
The Maryland Senator representing the smelt
ing interest ot that Slate, opposed the considera
tion ot the bill and declared that it would in
crease the cost ot copper ore about sixty dollars
per ton. The Michigan Senators stated that
millions of dollars ot capital invested in that
State were interested in the passage of the bill.
The indications are that it will pass after the
holiday recess.
ROLLINS AS A STICKER.
It is said to be definitely understood now that
Commissioner Rollins will remain in office until
after the 4lh of March next, or at least that he
will certainly not send in his resignation until
Congress shall have reassembled alter the holi
days’ vacation. The tact creates quite a con-
for ; and, although his integrity is unquestiona
ble, his generosity, liberality, public spirit, etc.,
are commonly limited to cases in which he may
be sure ot h ! s reward in newspaper notoriety and
public eulogy. His industry, enterprise, energy,
and sagacity, do liiui credit. They have made
him a millionaire. His learning, I dare say, re
quires no commentary. His btmevolence and
philontbrophy permit me to place in the same
category. Personally, he is said to be an agree
able companion and an interesting conversation

NATIONAL LABOR UNION AND SPECIE PAYMENTS.
The President of the National Labor Union
is out in a communication in which he pro
nounces erroneous the statement heretofore pub
lished, to the effect that the executive committee
of that body had, in its recent interview with
Gen. Butler, urged a speedy return to specie
payments. He says that, on the other hand,
they are opposed, not only to a retnrn to specie
payments, but to the use of gold and silver as
money. What they want is an exclusive paper
currency.
indignant nigonr.
Menard, the negro member elect to Congress,
is iodignant at the manner in which the Radi
cals disposed ot his case. He says he was elected
only tor the residue of the present Congress,
which expires on the 4th of March, and the
reference of his case to the Committee on Elec
tions he regards as equivalent to his rejection.
WHITEWASHING REPORT.
It is stated to-day that the whisky fraud re
port, which i9 to be made to Congress on Mon

censure the President in regard to the Kentucky
Bourbon case.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE.
The bill introduced by Mr. Wilson on the 18th
instant ia the Senate' to “ regulate the elective
franchise in the District of Columbia” provides
for striking out the word “male” in the first-sec
tion of the election laws ot this District now in
force, and that every word in said ac s applica
ble to persons of the male sex shall apply equally
to persons ot the female sex, so that hereafter
women who are inhabitants ot the District ot
Columbia and citizens of the United States may
vole at all elections, and be eligible to all civil
offices in said District on the same terms and
conditions in all respects as men.
NATURALIZATION TREATIES.
The President will shortly send to the Senate
two more naturalizaliou treaties negotiated with
foreign powers, based on the same general prin
ciples as the Germau treaty ratified last session.

In response to a question as to how cigars
seized for nonpayment of tax may be put upon
the market, no stamps being affixed, for which
the seizure was made, Rollins decides that
stamps shall be affixed necessary to cover the
tax due, and the collector shall accredit to his
stamp accouut so much of tho proceeds of their
sale as shall equal the value of the stamps
affixed, and pay the balance, if any, into the
Treasury. If the amount of the sales do£s not
pay the expenses and the tax due thereon, then
the law authorizes the collector to bid them in
for the Government lor an amount not exceed
ing the tax. It is thought Congress will provide
for lurnishing stamps to goods sold under for
feiture.

About the "Loll** Privilege.
Mr. Postmaster-General Randall has been
enough in himselt to run the postal service, and
the bread-and-butter policy is ample cause for
a deficiency. But the luckless department has
been afflicted with a complication of fatal dis
orders. A graver one than usual, as we learn
from Washington, was the expenditure of one
million dollars in carrying electioneering docu
ments under Congressional tranks. How do the
tax pavers relish this feature of our expenditures ?
One million ot dollars for stuffing the letter-
bags with documents that nobody wants,

little line in the telegraphic dispatcues gives one

Caroliua has been indicted for abuse ot the frank

juries iu North Caioliua have so much respect

should be generally lollowed how many of our
Senators and Representatives would escape?

crease ot the tax on whisky, but there does not
appear to be any truth in the story that a general
movement is on foot to urge Congress to again
raise the tax. The House is believed to be
unanimously against it.
TARIFF BILL.
The long tariff bill is pending in the commit
tee ot the whole from the last session, and a mo
tion is to be made to take it up the very day
Congress re-asstmbles. Its friends desire it re
committed, to add more articles for duty, which
are now on the tree list, but are afraid it will
jeopardize its consideration in the House, owing
to the brevity of the session.
FLORIDA CARPET-BAGGER.
The new Senator from Florida, A. Gilbert,
who takes bis seat March 4th, has arrived. His
credentials were presented on yesterday.
THE PRESIDENT AND SPECIE PAYMENTS.
A paragraph has been telegraphed hence to a
Northern ffliper, containing what purports to be
the substance ot a conversation between a mem
ber of Congress and th® President, in which the
latter is made to say that he is not in favor ol an
early resumption ol specie payments. The state
ment is erroneous. Mr. Johnson is understood
to be in favor ot immediate resumption, though
he has not authorized any one to announce the
plan or modus operandi by which he would ac
complish the end songh to be attained.
WHISKY FRAUDS.
In the report on whisky frauds, to be made
to-inoi row to the House, the Retrenchment
Committee speaks of the evil of the Internal
Revenue Department in compromising frauds,
and says that the great source of frauds is in
the settlement or compromise ot frauds. Let
the law be plain in its provi ions, and then the
offender understands that its penalties will be
enforced unless th® law officers shall be satisfied
that the proseentiou is groundless. It would
not strengthen this proposition to enumerate the
number or nature of the outrages which have
grown up iu this system of compromising. Re
stricting an officer to the limits ot his own dis
trict is having a tendency to remove an addi
tional restraint from those districts where offi
cers are neglectful or dishouest.
6KVBRE ON THE PRESIDENT.
The committee are very severe on the Presi
dent’s course, in suspending action on the Ken
tucky Bourbon cases, and conclude by giving

A Tonne Maw Shot by a Woman for Wrl-
alne Insulting Notes.
At about 1:30 this afternoon the people in the
neighborhood of Water and Upper Third streets
were thrown into a stale of excitement by the
loud report of a pistol. A crowd soon gather
ing, it was ascertained that Mr. 8. S. Moore,
Jr., a son of S. S. Moore. Esq., and a clerk in
his father’s store, on Main street, near Pear],
had been shot and instantly killed by Mrs.
Melissa Morton, wife oi John Morton.
The shooliug took place at the bouse
of Mrs. Louisa Huff, who resides next
door to the Mortons. It seems tnat Mrs. Morton
had been at the store ot Mr. Moore a few min
utes before, and was accompanied near home hy
young Mr. Moore, who went to Mrs. Huff’s
residence and stated that he had an agreement
to meet Mrs. Morton there. Mrs. Huff stated
that the room was cold, but that she would make
a fire. She started for the door and had got on
the outside when Mrs. Morion entered and im
mediately drew a revolver and fired, the ball en
tering Moore’s neck, probabably severing the
jugular vein. The unfortunate young mau
dropped dead on the floor without making the
least sign of speaking a word.
We understand tiiat Mrs. Morton says that
Moore had writen her several insulting notes,
whicu she has in her possession, and that she
had demanded a written apology from him.—
What occurred at the store betore terrible
tragedy was enacted we are not advised, nor
what was the object of the conference at Mrs.
Hull’s. Nor are we advised of nature of
the conversation at Mrs. Huff’s house, u any
took place. The affair is one of the most ter

useful preparations. He, thereloro, endeavored to- in
vest it with strongest possible safeguard against coun
terfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult
and dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished
chemists for enalysia, aud pronounced by them the pu
rest spirits ever manufactured. Its purity and properties
having been thus ascertained, samples ol tlicartic.e worn
forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including ah the
leading practitioners in the United Stat es, for purposes
of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the pre
paration aud report ot the result, 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. Such a prepara
tion, they said, had long been wanted by the profession,
as no reliance could be placed oa the ordinary liquors of
commerce, all of whieh were more or less adulterated,
and therefore unfit for medical purpos e. The peculiar
excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which form
ed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, to
gether with an unalloyed character ot the alcoholic ele
ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, a marked
superiority over every other diflusive stimulant as a diu
retic, tonie, and restorative.
These s itistactory credentials irom 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, the label was copyrighted, a far- simile o
the proprietor’s autograph signature was attache,i to
each label and cover, his name and that of the prepara
tion were embossed 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 introduction of Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps, in 1851; aad the label 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 w ; th
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
carefnlly thrown around these Schnapps would have pre
cluded the introductions and sale ol counterfeits. They
seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of
impostors. The trade mark of the proprietor has been
stolen; the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic
Schnapps alone received from the medical profession
has been clained by mendacious humbugs; his labels
and bottles have been imitated, kis advertisements para
phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishon
orable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents
of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the
most deleter.ous of all Ilquore, and thus made bis name
and brand a cover for poison.
The public, the medical profession, and the sick, for
whom the Schiedam 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, manufactured at the estab
lishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is
distilled irom a barley of the finest quality, and flavoted
with an essential extract ef the berry of the Italian juni
per, of uuequaled purity. B> a process uuknowu in tho
preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every
acrimonious and corrosive element.
Complaints have boen received from the leading physi
cians and families in the Southern States of the sale of
cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps iu
those markets, aud travelers who are in the habit of
using it as an antidode to the baneful influence of un
wholesome river water, testify that cheap giu, put up in
Sheridan bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the un
wary. The agents of the nudersigned have been request
ed to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward
to him the names of such parties as they may ascertain
to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. Iu
conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has pro
duced, fiom uuder the hands of the most distinguished
men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the
purity and medicinal excellence of the Schiedam Aro
matic Sclmapps; that he has expended many thousand
dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards
which he designed should proteet the public md himself
against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be
the only liquor In the world that can be uniformly de.
pended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged
investigation, analysis, comparaison, and experiment iu
all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation
whicn b ars his name, seal, and trade mark, has come off
triumphant. He therefore feels it a duty he owes to his
tellow-citusens generally, to the medical profession and
the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who
counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon
the press and the public to aid him in his eeorts to rem
edy so great an evil.
The following letters and certificates from the leading
physicians and cheraiets of this city will prove to the
reader that all goods sold by the undersigned are all they
are represented to be.

SOLUBLE PACIFIC GUANO.
T HIS GUANO is fouad by experience to possess fully
equal, and, under tome conditions, gieater, ferti-
tzing power than Peruvian Gnano. Its cost per ton is
at least $30 less than Peruvian; hence, planters can
afford to use it more liberally, and thus realize greater
benefits.
According to the experience of Wm. H. Young, Esq.,
of Columbns, Ga., to whom we reter, Q0n pounds per
acre of Soluble Pacific Gnano increased the crop three
to fonr times; 400 pounds per acre increased the crop
five to six times.
Dlrkctiohs you Us*:—Strew one half the quantity to
be applied per acre In tbe drill, or hill, and plant upon it.
When the cotton or corn is brought to a stand, and well
up, ray lour or five inches, sow the other halt 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 la’gely, but
matures 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 p'-r cent, on the investment.
Every planter, who is incredulous as to there facts,
should at hast satisfy himself by a trial on a rmall 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 concentraied ferti
lizers, and that which is best, at least cost, mast be pre
ferred. As* testimonials annexed. For further infor
mation, certificates, price, o.c , apt.ly to

Soluble Pacifle Guano, as compared with Peruvian, is

ficiently, using each side by side for two seasons, apply
ing the same weight of each per acre, ana in every case
the Pacific has given the best results on cotton, corn,
potatoe-, and small grain, aud the testimony 1 have
Irom a great many planters confirms my experience.

“Th* Peruvian Guano I had before used, and know it
tobeaninvalu ble fertilizer for cotton. I now find ihe
Bolnble Pacific to be equally as good. At the fame
price, 1 would as soon have it for cotton or corn as the
Peruvian; some of my hands insist that it is better.”

Deab Sib—I have made a chemical examination of a
sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with tho intent o f
determining if any foreign or iujnrlous subrtanees 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 substance* whieh are employed in the adul
teration of liquors. I would not hesitate to use myself,
or to recommend to others, for medicinal purposes, the
Schiedam Schnapps as an excellent and unobjectionable

Dear Sir—The want of pure Wines and liquors forme
dicinal 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 of the brain and nervos so rife in this country, are
very rare iu Europe, owing, in a great degree, to the dif
ferenee in the purity of the spirits sold.
We have tested the several articles imported and sold
by you, including your Gin, which you sell nnder the
name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which we con
sider justly entitled to the Ugh reputation it has acquired
in thin country; and from yonr long experience as a for
eign importer, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should
meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint some of Hie re
spcctable apothecaries in different parts of the city a
agents lor the sale of your Brandies and Wines, wher
the profession can obtain the same when needed for
medicinal purposes.
Wishingyou success in yonr new enterprise,
We remain your obedient servants,
