At the time of the inauguration of President Grant and the passage of the bill to strengthen the public credit, gold fell four to five per cent, below the figures that had ruled for many months before. Since then the price has been steady, and has varied bnt slightly from one thirty-one. -A fashion correpondent writes: "This sea -son sees a general revival of braids for ladies' bonnets-straw braids of new and old designs. Tho new are inter wrought with jet and pearl beads-which is by no means an improvement. Straw may be braided ever so elaborately, but it'dhould not be worked np with materials for which it has no sympathy-of which it has no suggestion. Ita freshness and breezeness souvenir of the fields wherein it grew-should -be allowed to assert itself, instead of being -smothered by the vulgar fripperies of the workshop." -New York thieves have in training a num? ber of dogs for summer operations. They are taught by repeated endeavors to rush into t? room and seize from a counter a parcel and quickly bring it to his master. Their counter is made so as to resemble those in banks, and the parcel is covered with yellow paper, and trade to look like the packages of bank notes, that are exchanged from one bank to another. Tba design is to take or send by a confederate one of these dogs to the door of a bank or broker's office, where a parcel or package of bank notes is seen to be lying on the conuter, and send him in. The trained animal darts in and seizes the valuables in his mouth, and rushes ont to the place where he expects to find his master. -The real reason why the President signed the Tennre-of-ofiice bill is generally under? stood to be that ID the presence of Congress he behoves himself powerless. He admitted, jj n so many words, on Saturday last, that he was to blame himself for the non-snccoss of "fha foll repeal, which he would greatly bavo preferred. He cosiders that when he gave in to Messrs. Trumbull, Edmunds and Conkling, of the Senate Judiciary Committee^ by agree? ing to their amendments, tbat then repeal was 1 osl from that moment. The President irealy ?nd frankly admits this to have been a mistake. Now that the thing is signed, tho anomaly is presented of two constmotions being placed on this act-one by those compelled to accept it, and the other by those friondly to its tcrm.3. -The moat wonderful velocipede exploit on record is thus described in the Jacks JO ville, DI., Journal: "On Saiurday evening there was quite a largo number gathered in Profes? sor Grover's velocipede hall to witness tho proficiency and skill of the professor's pupils on the wooden horse. Ic appears that a few of the professor's most advanced scholars have been practicing on an inclined plane, which has heretofore been placed on the south side of the room, but in cleaning the hall in the af? ternoon the decline part had been removed, and the i nc Uno part was moved close to the east side of the hall^so that the highest part rested on a window-sill, the window having been removed in the afternoon. Several of the new beginners had been showing their skill in riding round the room, and when Mr. Dunlap came into tbe hall he was called upon to ride, and immediately complied, mounted the ma? chine, and away he went at lightning speed around the hail. As soon as be had got (he velocipede np to fall speed, ho went straight for the incline plano, (all who were posted in the movement of the plane supposed that Mr. Dunlap knew of the change, and was only trying 'some new trick,' but, as the se? quel shows, he was entirely ignorant of the change,) np he went like a bird, and did not disoover bis mistake until it was too late. Away he went, through the window, like a flash, and disappeared 1 . stood spell-bound for a second, and then rushed to the windows, expecting to see his mangled body on the ground below. But he waa not 'born to die, in that way, for the speed at which ho was goinT carried him acioss an alley ten feet r ide, aud he alighted 'Tight side up" on Gaiter, Beesley & Co.'s drug storo, a two-Btory build? ing with a very steep roof; down th<?r roof and over the edge he wont, sailing on to tLe roof of Ayer'8 bank, whore he vnm.&ge^ to fall offbi9 machine in time to save irn-s^f from going over to the ground. As soon av :>o??ble he sprang to his feet, swung his hat, ...A -ave throe cheers, which were responded to with a will by tho excited crowd, which filled all the windows of thc ball, and had watched his de? scent with silent horror. Dr. Dunlap thinks ho is ontitled to tho champion modal as the most daring velocipede rider in this section of oouatry." CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1869. Kc present at i ve Hogc. Mr. S. L. H?ge, Radical, who was not elected to Congress from the Third South Carolina District, has been admitted to a seat in the House of Representatives, and Mr. J. P. Reed, Democrat, who was elec? ted, has had his trouble for his pains. The manoeuvres by which H?ge obtained his seat were characteristically ingenious. Accidentally, and to his own surprise, elected Justice of the Supreme Court of this State, he so hid his native sagacity and legal lore, so disguised his profound knowledge under a mask of twioe-sixteen-year-old simplicity, that the benighted Democrats looked upon him as a mere puppet and the wily Radicals regarded him as a fool. So deftly did he play bis part that the Radical leaders determined to thrust him from the bench and set up in his stead any one who was less a dummy though more a knave. A proper place for H?ge seemed to be the United States House of Representatives, where he oonld have excellent opportuni? ties of indulging his passion for perquisites, and where, if he did choose to act the har? lequin, he could have plenty of excellent company. But H?ge had been routed in the fight for election in the Third District, and his opponent, Mr. Reed, had been eleoted by a thumping majority. There was no overcoming this fact. Even the Prince of Liars could not give evidence enough to overcome 3008 votes, even at the rate of a lie to tho vote. So nothing re? mained but to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Reed was disqualified by the Four? teenth Constitutional Amendment, and to exclude him from the contest before the case was tried. This was dene promptly, a resolution being passed forbidding the consideration of the olaims of any person who was ineligible to hold office and whose disabilities had not been removed. H?ge wat? at once deolared to have a prima facie right to his seat, and on Thursday was reg? ularly seated. The point of this lies in the application. H?ge wt .s squarely and fairly defeated by Mr. Reed; but Mr. Recd v as barred out and Mr. H?ge takes his seat. The number of votes had nothing to do with it. Mr. Reed received nearly 12,000 votes, and ir H?ge had received but 5 votes he would still have been elected. This is the Con? gressional game of "Heads I win, tails "you lose." It is a monstrous tyranny. It deprives the people of their constitutional rightf. and makes an eleotion a foregone conclusion-a mockery, a delusion and a snare. However, H?ge has taken his seat, and will sit amicably by the side of Whittemore and Bowen until there can be admitted to complete the quartette ?. S. S. Wallace, who was thrashed as soundly in the Fourth District by Colonel Simpson, as H?ge was in the Third by Mr. Reed. Then will the four rejoioe and be exceeding glad, thank? ing the blessed stars whioh have given them the pockets of thirty-eight millions of peo? ple to pick, and three hundred thousand white people in Sooth Carolina to abuse and misrepresent., Thc Nevr J a ry Law. It seems that the palladium of oar liber? ties-the trial by jury-will henceforth, like charity, cover a multitude of sins; not so much sins of malice and revenge as of ignorance and inexperience. The act to reg?late the drawing of juries, passed September 28, 1868, requires the Seleotmen of every town, onoe in every year, te prepare a list of such inhabitants of the town as they think well qualified to serve as jurors, "being persons of good "moral character, of sound judgment and "free from all legal exceptions." This list (Seotion 5) is to be posted up in two public places ten days before it is submitted for revision and acceptance, "and shall then "be laid before any regularly called town "meeting, and the town meeting may alter "it by adding the name of any person lia "ble to serve, or striking any names there "from." To this section, at the scs3ion of the Legislature just closed, the following proviso was added : "Provided, always, that "the number of white voters thereon shall "bear to the number of names of colored "voters, as near as may be, thc same pro? portion as the whole number of white "voters bears to the whole number of col "ored voters in the township, city or coun "ty, '?8 the case may be." Th? effect of this proviso in Charleston judicial county (Charleston and Berkeley) will be to make the list contain three times as many negroes as white men, the registra? tion of March, 18C8, being 13,683 colored voters and 4602 white voters. But the Se? lectmen are directed to select persons "of "good moral oharacter, of sound judgment," and as the proportion is only "as near as "may be," it might happen that the list, when completed, would contain less than eight blacks out of every dozen persons. And, in any case, the jurors are drawn from the list by lot, and, although the chances are in favor of colored names being drawn in the ratio of their numerical supe? riority, it might occur that all whites or all negroes, or half of each, would bo drawn. In oivil cases, however, there is a loop? hole which will enable suitors to esoape a trial by jury. The third seotion of the "Act to regulate the practice of the Circuit "Coarta in certain oases," is as follows : "Issues of faot in oivil cases, in any Cir "cuit Court, may be tried and determined "by the court without the intervention of "a jury, whenever the parties or their at .Uorucys of record file their consent, in "writitg, with the Clerk of the Court, "waiving a jury." This enables the par? ties in all civil cases to avoid the jury. And, in regard to criminal cases, it must be remembered that if the jury consists of eight colored jurymen against four white jury? men, there is every probability that of the persons to be tried criminally at least three fourths will be black.

November 3? 18(13. j To tile People of tile Southern Stn tes t WHEN THE T?RE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE, now 60 widely kno?n as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was in rod aced iuto the world under thc endorsement of four thousand leading member? of the medical profession some twenty years SRO, tts proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest ii with strongest possible safeguard ' against counter? feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it diffi? cult and dangerous. It was submitted to distin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest 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 practitioner? in tbe United States, for purpose? of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of tbe result, accompanied each specimen. Pour thousand of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of tho article were unanimously favorable. Such preparation, they ?-aid, had lone been wonted by the profession, as DO reliance could be placed on tbe ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more .r less adulterated, and therefore unfit for media., purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oi of juniper, which formed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ele? ment, give it. in the estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, os one of the guarantee? of its genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud were Uso adopted ; a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a Jae simile ot the proprielor*s autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of the preparation were em? bossed on tbe bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had over been Bold in this country under the namo of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, In 1851; and the label was deposited, as his trade mark, in the United States District Court for thc Southern District of New York during that year. * It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with tbe daring character of tbe pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pro? tections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded tbe introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, bowover, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostor-. The trade mark of th: proprietor hos been stolen; the Indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from Hie medical profcsaioD has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been Imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than ali, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tbe genuino contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus mode his name and bond a cover for poison. The public, thc medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, are equally interested with the proprietor In the doted iou and suppression of those nefarious pt ac tices. The genuine article, manufac? tured at the establishment ol' the undersigned in chicdam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of tho finest quality, und flavored with au osscntial extract of the berry of tho Italian jumper, ol unequalled pu? rity. By a process unknown in the preparation ot any other liquor, it is (recd from every acrimonious and corrosive clement. Complaints have been received from the leading physicians and families in the Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who are in thc habit of using it as an Antidoto to the baneful influence of unwholesome river water, tes? tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, ls frequently palmed off upon the unwary. Tho agents ot tbe undersigned have been requosteu to institute inquiries on thc subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may ascer? tain to be engaged in the atrocious system of decep? tion. In concludion, the undersigned would say that be has produced, from under tho hands of the most distinguished men cf science In America, proofs un? answerable of tbe purity and medicinal excel? lence of the Schiedam Aromado Schnapps ; that he has oxpended 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 lt to be tho only liquor in tho 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 the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has como off triumphant. He, therefore, feels it a duty he owes to his icllow-citizens generally, to the medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencies of identity, and he calls upon the prose and the public to old him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. The following letters and certl?catea from tho leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the reader that all goodB sold by the under signe 1 are all tbat they are rcpre' en ted to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving ot medical patronage.
