The question of openin this locked and sealed box has been ref erre backward "and forward between tho Secretar of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, Gene ral Grant and the President. Several Cabine meetings were held on the subject, bat no con elusion was arrived at. Finally it was decide that the authority to break open this box c -contention was vested in the Secretary of Wai who a few days ago detailed General Hards to superintend the proceedings. Witnesse were sent tor from the Treasury and the Attor ney-General's Department, and on opening tb battered, dusty bpx, instead of Anding, as i was confidently expected, $30,000 in gold there were exposed to view a scarf and water proof cloak, labelled, 1 "Taken from the per soi of Jefferson Davis at the time of hts capture by Colonel Pritchard, of the U.

Ont of the spoon he made a key; by means of the needle he pass 3d a thread over and under the door; bits of wire were pushed through tho inspection-hole, and fae ton od to this long thread extending outside from top to bottom. The key was aTso>pushed through, and, being fastened to the thread, was bronght opposite the keyhole by dexter? ous manipulation of the slender line worked .gently in, then turned by means of the wire, and the door was opened. This is certainly one of the greatest exhibitions of skill and patience on record. -If we may believe tho New York World, a filibustering expedition is now being organized in this country for'the purpose of annexing Cuba to the United States. It will embark within fifteen days from New Orleans, Boston and New York, and is expected to number ten thousand men. A great quantity of uniforms has been purchased, and every necessary ar? rangement made for the transportation of the troops. Tho World st; tos that recruiting offices will be opened this morning under the name of " Cuban Emigration Bureaus." Emi? grants will be received and their names taken down, ?nd oaths will be administered to them on promise of strict secrecy to obey thc princi? pe "emigrants." Rumors are afloat that it is the intention of tho Liberators to offer ths command of thc expedition to General "Baldv" Smith, but this needs confirmation. General Dick Taylor is also alluded to, and, meanwhile, there is said to be intense excitement through? out the city in regard t. the proposed invasion. -As a matter of political record, wo wUl etate that Gerritt Smith nM written a letter of advice to General Grant. He informs the new President that the chief object of his adminis? tration will be to enforce the doctrine of uni? versa] suffrage, and to that end the "loyal" people are ready to hold np his hands. He commends the General's "charitable judg? ment and generous treatment to thc South," but is very bitter in his denunciation of the Democracy for claiming that, "the nation should again put under the feet of the wicked white men, who had taken up arms to destroy her, the forgiving and magnanimous black men, who had taken up arms to Bave her!" The blame of Ihe reullion bears upon North and South alike, says Mr. Smith, and he is happy to know that General Grant also accepts this belief. He closes his letter with saying ; "I like to believe that the motto of your ad? ministration will be: 'A man's a man.' The spirit of such a motto pervading our land will make it a land of peace. The white man and the black man will bc at peace with each other -the North and tho South; and this peace because founded in unchangeable nature in? stead of shifting human expediency, in the Divine constitution of things instead of hnman and conventional arrangements-will be a thorough and permanent peace. I scarcely need add that the identifying of your adminis? tration with the sublimo and Christian doc? trine of the oneness of thc children of men with the sublime and Christian doctrin 2 that every man is every other man's brother, and God the common and equal father of them all -will not only make ours the h ippiest nation on earth, but will make it to all other nations a surpassingly grand and influential example of casting down the barriers of race and setting up in their stead the law of impartial juBtice and the reign of fraternal love." CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 17, 1868. Suffrage, Again. The proposed constitutional amendment which is to confer the elective franchise upon all male citizens of the United States, of all races and colors, will at least give the party press something about which to rea? son and write. Outside barbarians had supposed that the fourteenth constitutional amendment cover? ed the whole ground, and was a settlement of the question of suffrage. This amend? ment provides that each State shall regu? late the suffrage for itself, subject only to the condition that it should have no Con? gressional representation for any class of persons excluded from the suffrage. For example, the total population of this State is about 700,000-consisting of 400,000 blacks and 300,000 whites. If South Caro? lina were entitled to seven members of the United States House of Representatives ac? cording to this total population, she would lose four-sevenths of her representation, or four representatives, if the colored people, by the State laws, were not permitted to vote. This gave every State the power, as it had the undoubted right, to determine the qualifications of its voters; but it protected the freedmen in providing that the repre? sentation should be reduced in proportion to the total number of persons excluded from the elective franchise. But the left wing of the Radical party is not satisfied that the States should have any reserved or discretionary power, and seem determined to endeavor to crush out the little life which the States still possess. They may succeed, but they will do the South no harm. We have already universal f uffrage fastened upon us, and it will do us no harm If colored men vote indiscriminate? ly from the Pole to the Gulf. One great object of the movement is, of j course, to debar the Southern whites from amending' the State constitutions so as to take away from the negroes the voting power which they now possess. The Radi? cals know that the white people will control the South in a few years, whatever the con? dition of the suffrage question, and they de? sire to take the whole matter out of the hands of the States, i. e., out of the hands of j the white race. But in no event can they harm us to any great extent; for the white people will soon have a political power, under the regime of universal voting, as complete as though not one colored man in the South were allowed to cast a vole. Blood will tell, and the political force given the freedmen will *e, in the end, an ele? ment to give the white Southerners greater political influence than they ever had be? fore secession, war, and all the vexations of emancipation and reconstruction. Southern Agriculture. In an address recently delivered in Vir? ginia, ex-Governor Vance, of North Caro? lina, uttered some plain truths, which, how? ever unpalatable they may bj for a time, will gradually steal upon the minds of men until they are accepted as thc bases of the Southern agricultural system of the future. Taking emancipation as a fixed fact, Gov? ernor Vanoe observed that the new order of things strikes a deadly blow at the sys? tem of great farms which prevailed, and still prevails, in the South. The tendency, already visible, is to break np the vast do? mains of the Southern planter into small farms, which, with increasing population and agricultural knowledge, will again be divided and subdivided as the demand for laud improves. This "small farm'' system is the one really practical method of restoring the South to prosperity. There is a natural pride in large estates, and a natural objection to breaking up large possessions. But the circumstances which wurranted great es? tates, and which placed the wealth and power of a community in a few hand*, are wholly changed, and with the altered con? dition of affairs a new system of property owning is necessary. Instead of our prince? ly plantations, lhere mu^t be a hundred homesteads, and as the country is more thickly settled and weilth is more evenly distributed, the South may become richer and more thrifty than ever before. But while we Concur in what Mr. Vance says in regard to the*^advantages of sma.l farms, we are not disposed to admit that the change will necessarily make negro labor useless. If the negroes refuse or neglect to work, their places must be filled by the white man; but while they are wil? ling to work for moderate wages they will make, for our purpose, better farm han Jg than can be obtained from Ireland, Eng? land or Germany. There is no diminution in the quantity of land-in the South, but half, at least, of thc productive population is gone. The negroes have largely decreased in numbers, the women and children have been withdrawn from the fields, and many of the able-bodied males have removed to the cities and towns. This would naturally cause labor to be dear, if the area of land to be cultivated remained the sa?ie, BO that, if we would make labor cheap and keep it cheap, we must reduce the area to be worked below the quantity which could be cultivated with the laboring popnlation which is at our command. This will lessen the demand for labor, and in causing the negro to seek for employment will give him a correct understanding of his relation to his white employers, and his de? pendence upon them. As long as the white farmer is deter? mined to cultivate a large area poorly, in? stead of a small area thoroughly, he will be dependent on the freedmen, and will be obliged to pay high prices for poor work But if ho adopts the small farm idea, and cultivates one acre where he now cultivates two or three, he will require less labor to do the work well, will obtain that labor at a low price, and, from amongst those who offer themselves for hire, need take only men who have proved themselves in? dustrious and worthy of trust. It is use? less to try to carry out in 18G8 the system which was successful in 1858. The men who will not bend must break. There is neither patriotism nor common sense in clinging to thc shadow when the substance is destroyed, and the man who is ready to adapt himself to the changes wrought by emancipation in the agricultural theory and practice of the country, proves himself more intelligent and more truly devoted to his State than he who would allow the whole South to become a howling wilderness, rather than admit the necessity or propri? ety of moving out of that beaten track which slavery had made as pleasant as it was profitable.

WOLFE'S SCHIE SCHNAPPS, was in'roduced into thc world c the endorsement of four thousand leading men of the medical profession some twenty years og proprietor was well aware that lt could not w escape the penalty attached to all new and u preparations. H?, therefore, endeavored to inv with strongest possible safeguard against cou felters, and to rendor all attempts to pirate it cult and dangerous. It was submitted to di gwshed chemists for analysis, and pronounce them thc- purest spirit ever manufactured. Its ; ty and properties having beon thus ascertained, plea of the article were forwarded to ten thou physicians, including all tho leading practitione tlie United States, for purposes of experiment circular, requesting a trial cf the preparation ai report of thc result, accompanied each specii Four thousand of the most eminent medical mt tho Union promptly responded. Their opinion the article were unanimously favorable. Sui preparation, they said, had long been wantec the profession, as no reliance could be placed or ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which 1 more or less adulterated, and thcrcforo unfit medical purpose . The peculiar ex cllcnce strength of the oi of juniper, wnich formed oi the principal ingredients of the Schnapp?, toge with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic ment, give it, in the estimation of the facult marked superiority over every other diffusive sri lant as a diuretic, tonie and restorative. Thoso satisfactory credentials from profess! men of the h'ghest rank were published in a densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of Schnapps, os ono of tho guarantees of its gena neus. Other precautions against fraud were adopted; a patent was obtained for the article, label was copyrighted, a Jae simile of the propriet autograph signature was at'ached to each label cover, his name and that of the preparation were bossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed \ his private seal. No article had over been sole this country under tho name of Schnapps prto: the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Arom Schnapps, lu 1851; and the label was deposited his trade murk, lu the United States District Cc for the Southern District of New York during 1 year. It might bo supposed by persons una-qnair with the diring character of tho plra'.03 who p upo a the reputation of honorable merchants Ly ve ing deleter ons trash undor their name, that tho i tections so carefully thrown around those Penna wonld have precluded tho introductions and sali counterfeits. They seem, however, only to h stimulated the rapacity of impostor*. The tr mark ol th; proprietor has boen stolen; the indoi mont which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ali received from the medical profession has bi claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels t bo'.iles have been imitated, hts advertisements pc phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than dishonorable retailors, ofter disposing of the penn contents of his bottles, have filled them up w common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, a thu? made his name and brand a cover for poison Thc public, thc medical profession and tho si for whom the Schiedam Aromitic Schnapps is p scribed as a remedy, arc equally intcrcste I with I proprietor in thedetec'iou and suppression of thi nefarious practices. Tho genuine article, manu: tared at thc establishment of the undersigned Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barloy of i finest quality, and flavored with an essential ex tr, Of the berry of the Italien juilpo", of unequalled i ri ty. Cy a process unknown in the preparation any other liquor, lt ls treed from every acrimonie and corrosive clement. Complaints have been received from tho load! physicians and families in tho Southern States th * sale of cheap imitations of tho Schiodam Ai matlc Schnipps in those markets; and travollc: who are iu the habit ot using it as an antidote to t baneful influence of unwholesome river water, ti ti fy that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, frequently poluied off upon tho unwary. T agoiit< ot tho undersigned have been requested institute inquiries Oil the subject, and to forward him thc names of such parties as they may ase, tain to bc engaged in the atrocious system of dece tion. In conclusion, tho undersigned would say th he has produced, from under thc hands cf tho mc distinguished men of science in America, proofs u answerable of the purity and medicinal exe? leuce of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; th he has exponded miny thousand dollars in sn rounding it with guarantee* and safeguards, whi< he desigpedshould protect thc public and bimst against fraudaient imitations; that he has shown to bo the only liquor in the world that can bc ut form); depended upon as unadulterated; that ho ht challenged investigation, analysis, comparison ar experiment m all its forms; and from every ordo the preparation win h bears his name, neal and trac ni.rk, has come off triumphant. He, therefore, iee H a duty he owes to his iellow-citiz ns gocorolly, I the medical profession and tho sick, to denoane and expose the charlatans who counterfeit theso ev denotes of identity, and he calls upon tho press an the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy eo grci an eviL The following letters and coriiflcates from tl leading physicians aud che Hist4 of this city wi prove to the reader that all goods sold by the unde: signe j are all tbat they are rcpro eutcd to be.
