The}* say ' let us quietly look on and see what will be proposed, but vote as con? science shall dictate.' " -The sudden resignation of Disraeli, the British premier, on finding his party so sig? nally defeated in the late elections, necessi? tates the formation of a new ministry. He be- 1 lieved the country would not sanction the 1 measure for the disestablishment of the Irish c' Church, but finds himself mistaken. He will s now, ot course, lead the opposition in Par lia- c ' mont, and be really in his proper element, and ? where his brilliant talents best shine. Mr. ? Gladstone bas been summoned by tbe Queen to form a new ministry, and the Liberals take 1 . possession under the admirable system which * -prevails in England of yielding to the popular i graciously and promptly. Mr. Collier is to c bo Attorney-General, and Mr. Bright has also \ been asked to join the ministry. -A question of great interest to Southern - claimants is to be decided at the approaching . term of the United States Court of Claims in 1 - Washington. The solicitor for the United 1 States at the last term interposed the plea, in ' reference to tbe cotton cases and all other cases t of captured and abandoned proper ty, that the j rebellion was suppressed on the first of June, j 1865, when Kirby Smith surrendered; and as all claimants under the statute must prefer their claims in the Court of Claims within two ' years after the suppression of the rebellion, all ' claims preferred after the first of June. 1867, > must be dismissed. It is understood that ' upon the previous argument the court was j equiBy divided-two to two. The question ,t ( the coming term will be argued before a full j bench of five judges. The decision may be dif? ferent, when it .is remembered that the late ' Congressional action bas fixed tho date on 1 which the rebellion was suppressed as the 20th of August, 1866, the date of the President's < proclamation of peace. ( -But few persons have an adequate idea of ( the number of immigrants annually arriving in tho United States, or of the amount of i wealth they bring with them. Statisticians 1 estimate the number of immigrants from ? European States to this country since 1790 at six millions five hundred thousand, , and that their descendants to-day number , fully twenty millions, or about one-half of tbs entire population. From 1820 to 1830, the number of foreigners who landed on our 1 shores was 244,490; from 1830 to 1840, 552,000; 1 from 1840 to 1850,1,583,300; from 1850 to 1800, 1 2,707,624. The annual average of immigration ] since 1860 is put down by Mr. Banks at 350,000, i and actual investigation has proved that each j emigrant, mon, woman and child, represents from eighty to one hundred dollars. Thus, in the aggregate, nearly $30,000,000 in geld is ] added to the money resources of the country 1 annually by immigration alone. A cotempo- 1 rary says : "But we must look further than l the money value of the immigrant, and con- i sider his productive capacity." Estimating his labor at five hundred dollars a year, at this rate our annual immigration would add one hundred and fifty millions a year to the cash value of tho country. -King Ludwig, of Bavaria, has got himself Bent to Coventry in a manner which must bc especially trying to a boy of his years. The late King undertook to form at Munich what he was pleased to call the New Round Table, its knights being euch men as Hsyse, Boden? stedt, Liebig, &c, on whom he confeire l sine? cures, professorships and pensions, designed to insure their continuing at his capital while pursuing their studies. No>v, among these knights is Emanuel Geibel, one of tho most eminent of living German lyrical poets, and the poet laureate of Lubeck, his native placo. . Not long igo tho King of Prussia visited Lu? beck, and it became its laureate's duty to ad? dress to him a poem of welcome, in which Geibel expressed his hope for the happy com pletion ol German, unity under Prussia's load, and tho poem was printed in Dr. Julius Rodec ^arg's magazine, "Der Salon." Returning to Munich, ?cibel was met by a notification that his pcnbion was stopped "on account of his po? litical tendencies." Thereupon the poet wrote to the King resigning bis professorships, orders of knighthood, 4c, and Paul Heyse im? mediately followed the example, bogging to ex? press his entiro agreement -v*h tbe political views in question, and tendering his resigna? tion. The matter, of course is one for com? ment throughout Germany, and in its social and literary world thc young King is under a cloud. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 7, 18C8. A Crt at Public Necessity. The State Legislature will be able, it is hoped, during the present session, to turn its attention to praotical legislation for thc benefit of the industrial and commercial interests of the State; and no subject can come before it, connccied with our sj item of internal improvements, of more import? ance to the majority of the people than the consideration of what is beet to be done for securing the speedy completion of the line of railroad between Charleston and Sa? vannah. At the time that the war broke out the Charleston and Savannah Railroad had just been completed. It had cost, with its roll? ing stock and equipment, about three mil? lion of dollars, of which amount about a million and a half was Becured by liens: a statutory lien in favor of the State, to protect its guarantee of the bonds of the company, to the amount of five hundred and five thousand dollars; and a second lien, by mortgage, to secure the bonds of the com? pany, to the amount of one million of dol? lars. When the war ended the road was, for the most part, destroyed. The track had been torn up, the bridges burned, and the rails twisted or broken. The rolling stock, however, was saved. At that time, it was estimated that an outlay of three hundred thousand dollars would reopen the road through to Savannah. The company could not raise this amount by a loan, because it had no sufficient securi? ty to offer to the capitalist. The State, by its statutory mortgage, had the first claim, and it was so evident that the road uncompleted was worth but little, while completed it would be worth at least two million of dol? lars, that the General Assembly in 18C5 passed an act authorizing a loan of five hun Ired thousand dollars, to be applied to re? building the road. The State agreed to postpone its own lien, and gave precedence 10 the new loan, which was to have a first ien upon the whole property of the com? pany. This was ample and sufficient secu .ity; but in consequence of the unsettled londition of affairs, and the placing of the State under military rule, the loan could lot be negotiated upon economical or reas mable terms. In the saean?me, the creditors under the lecond lien, caused the sale of the road and ts property, became its purchasers, and irganized themselves into the present Sa? vannah and Charleston Railroad Company. Their bonds, the second lien, they converted nto stock, leaving the road with no bonded lebt but that guaranteed by the State, .mounting to five hundred and fi*e thousand lollars, bearing six per cent, interest, and lue in 1877. The new company proceeded lowly with the work of reconstruction, tsing their limited means to the best possi? ble advantage, and there is completed and n good order at this moment sixty-two miles * if the road, supplied with rolling stock and ocomotives in fair condition. The Savannah and Charleston Railroad s now paying its working expenses, and it s evident enough that its completion would nake the bonds guaranteed by the State a lecurity second in value to no security in he United States bearing the same rate of nterest But while the road is incomplete it cannot pay the interest on these bonds, ind as the interest accumulates the debt md liability of the State is steadily in :reasing, while the property to which the State looks for security is daily r?ceding in ralue. There is no doubt that it would be for the general good of the State to reopen ;he road at once, and in this instance the interests of the State, of the people and )f the creditors, all lie in one and the same direction. The present company, unaided by a loan, cannot complete the road for some years to :ome, and they therefore ask the State to allow them to secure, by a new mortgage, which shall take precedence of the statutory lien, a loan of five hundred thousand dol? lars, to bc used in the first place for re? building and completing the road, and Becondly for paying off the arrears of inter? est now due on tho six per cent, bonds guaranteed by the State. Ils completiou should enable the road to pay without ditli uulty the interest upon two millions of dol? lars, and it would give the company a fair prospect of creating a sinking fund for the anal payment of the debt, so as to allow the payment of dividends on the stock. As to the justice and moderation of this request of the company, there can be but ane opinion, for a compliance with it on Ihe part of the General Assembly would make the State perfcjjiy secure; would pay the bondholders their overdue intereel; would increase the trade of Charleston and thereby swell the resources of the State; and would be of incalculable benefit to the sixty thousand colored people who live in Beau? fort and Colleton, who cannot prosper un? less (hey have work to do, and the means of sending their produce cheaply and expe? ditiously to market. Labor anti Politics. We print this morning a letter fran Mr. T. Stobo Farrow, cf Spartanturg, with the reply of the State Central Democratic Exec? utive Committeo, on the suhject of the em? ployment of laborers next year who voted the Republicaaticket at the recent election. Mr. Farrow asks the committee to carry out thc established Slate policy of the Democra. tic party by urging every one "to exercise "a lenient and forbearing spirit in the "premises," and the committee say that they hope that "a liberal policy will be "pursued," and that this question of labor and politics will be dealt with "in a spirit "that shall recognize at once the rights of "the employee, and at the same time pro "molethe peace, industry and prosperity of "the State." Thc opinions expressed by the Democra? tic Executive Committee have our cordial approval, whether thoy are suggested by policy or the theory of equal rights. It is the privilege of every mau to vote as he pleases, just as it is within the power of each one to determine for himself whom he shall employ. Every one is entitled to the free expression of his convictions, and no party can stand for long which relies on threat and intimidation for accomplising its pur? pose. It is, of course, pleasant to each in? dividual to employ those whoBe political interests are identical with his own, but at the same time no one should be denied work only fer the reason that he did vote for one candidate, or did not vote for another. This is the theory and practice of equal political rights, but if that be left out of j view altgether, sound common seuse would dictate the same liberal course. We are dependent on the freedmen for our agricul? tural labor: Without them the farmers and planters may make a living, but they cannot make money; and if we were to thrust the negro from our fields because he voted for Grant, or did not vote for Seymour, we shall be as wise as the traditional dullard who cut off his nose because his face had offended him. We cannot afford to allow the element of politics to enter into our agricultural economy. If the laborer is hard-working and trustworthy, let him be employed; if he is careless and dishonest, let him shift for himself. These are the only things which should determine who we may employ. WE HOPE that the bill authorizing the Governor to appoint, in certain cases, as many police as he may deem necessary will not become a law, because we believe it to be wholly unnecessary. There are, of ? course, occasional acts of disorder in this State, but there is no good reason for cre? ating a small standing army to prevent what must happen so long as men are not free from fault. We feel confident that Governor Scott doe) not desire to have this new and heavy responsibility put upon him, and we know that he can call with confidence upon the people to sustain him in keeping the peace and executing the laws whenever any trouble is apprehended. In this way he will have a more reliable and more efficient con? stabulary foroe than any which a legislative act could give bim. WE ASE pleased to see that, in the House of Representatives, on Friday, the unfavor? able report of the committee upon a bill te allow minors and others to recover proper? ty, stocks, monies, ?cc., which were con? verted into Confederate stocks, bonds or monies, was adopted, and the bill indefinite? ly postponed. _ Co font.

OFUCE OF UDOLPHO WOLFE, Sole Imp?t ter of the Schiedam Aromatic Scltnapps, No 22 Dcavcr-strcct. NEW TOBE, November 3. 18G8. J To thc People of thc Southern States : WHEN THE rURE MEDICINAL RESTOR.vnVK, now so widely known as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was in roduced into thc world under the endorsement of four thousand leading members of thc medical protession some twenty years aso, Its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. Ho, therefore, endeavored to invest il with strongest possible safeguard against counter? feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it diffi? cult and rt.mgeraus. It wa* submitted to distin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them tho puresl spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having been thus ascertained, sam? ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in thc United StateB, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of ilse preparation and a report of Ihc result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of the most cmiucut medical men in thc Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they Faid, had lone been wanted hy the profession, aa no reliance could be placed on tho ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which wero more or les6 adulterated, and Ihcroforc unfit for medical purposes. Ihc peculiar excellence and strength of thc ol of Juniper, which formed one of thc principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with un unalloyed character of tho alcoholic ele? ment, give it, in tho estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory crcdenlials Iran professional men of thc highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of thc guarantees of its genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted ; a patent was obtained for the article, tie label was copyrighted, a facsimile of thc proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and thal of thc preparation were em? bossed on the bottles, and thc corks were sealod with bis private seal. No article had over been sold in this country- under thc name of Schnapps prior to thc introduction of Wolfe's Echiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1S31; and thc labol was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for thc Southern DUtrict of New York during that year. It might be supposed by persona uno'-qnaintod with the dmug character of tho pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that tho pro? tections BO carefully thrown around those Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated thc rapacity of impostors Tho trade mark of th? proprietor has been stolen; th j indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps 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, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of thc genuino contents of hie bottles, have filled them up with common gin, thc most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name and brind a cover for poison. The public, thc medical profession and thc sick, for whom tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre? scribed as a remoiy, arc equally intereste ' i'd th tho proprietor in the detection and suppression of thCBC nefarious practices. The genuine article, manuiac tured at the establishment of the undersigned in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barloy of thc finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian jucipe-, of unequalled pu? rity. 3y a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is tread from every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have boen received from tho leading physicians and families in tho Southcru States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in tho habit of using it as an antidote to tho baneful influence of unwholesome rivor water, tes? tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon the unwary. The agents of tho undersigned havo been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward to bim the names of such parties aa they may ascer? tain to bc engaged in tho atrocious system of decep? tion. In conclusion, thc undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the bands of the most distinguished mon of science in America, proofs un answerable of the purity and medicinal excel? lence of thc Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; that he has expended many thousand dollars in sur? rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to bc the only liquor in the world that can be uni? formly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged Investigation, analysis, comparison and experiment in all Its forms; and from every ordeal thc preparation whi h bears his name, seal and trado mark, has come off triumphant. He, therefore, feels it a duty he owes to his iellow-citiz-ns generally, to the medical profession and tho sick, to denounce and expese the charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencies of identity, and he calls upon tho press and thc public to aid hiiu in his efforts torcmody so great an evil. Thc following letters and certificates from tho leading physicians and che misti of this city will provo to the reader that all goods sold by thc under? side 1 are all that they aro rcprc cn ted to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as bciog in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At all events, it is the purest po.-slblo article of Holland Oin. hereto? fore unobtainable, aud as such may bo safely pre? scribed by physicians. DAVID L. MOTT, M. D., Pharmaceutical Chemist, New York. 26 PfiCE-CTREET, NEW YonK, I November 21.Id67. j L'DOLrHo WOLFE, Fsq., Present: Dear fir-I have made a chemical exam iuation of a sample of your Schiedam Schnapps, with thc in? tent of determining if any foreign or injurious sub? stance had beeu added to tb? simple distilled spirits. Thc examination has resulted in thc conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or lvrmful admixture. I have I ctn unable to discover any trace ol' tho deleterious substances wich arc em? ployed in the adulterulion of liquors. I would not hesitate to usc myself or to recommend toothers, for medicinal purposes, thc Schiedam Schnapps as au excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin. Very respectfully yours, (Signed,) CHAS.
