Its freshness and breezoness souvenir of the fields wherein it grew-should ~ bo allowed to assert itself, instead of being .smothered by the vulgar fripperies of the .workshop." ' -Now York thieves have in (raining a num? ber of dogs for summer operations. They are taught by repeated endeavors to rush into a room and seize from a counter a parcel and quickly bring it to his -master. Their counter is made eo as to resemble those in banks, and s the parcel is covered with yellow paper, and Blade to look like the packages of bank notes, - that are exchanged from on? bank to another. The design is to take or send by a confederate one of tbese 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 counter, .snd send him in. The trained animal darts in and seizes the valuable? in his mouth, and rashes out to the place where be expects to find his master. -The real reason why the President signed the Tennre-ot?^tte "hill ie generally under? stood to be tbawrrthe presence ot Congress - he believes himself powerless. He admitted, i n eo many words, on Saturday last, that he 1 was to blame himself for tbe non-snccesa of I the fall repeal, which be would greatly have preferred. He cosiders that when he gave in to Messrs. Trumbull, Edmunds and Cenkling, of the Senate Judiciary Committee, by agree? ing to their amendments, that then repeal was 1 osi from that moment. The President frealy i / And frankly admits this to have been a mistake. Mow that the thing is signed, tho anomaly is presented of two constitutions being placed on this act-one by those compelled to accept it, and the other by those friendly to ito terms. -Tho most wonderful velocipede exploit on record is thus described in the Jacksonville, 111., Journal: "On Saturday evening 'there waa quite a large number gathered in Profes? sor Grover's velocipede hall to witness the proficiency and skill of the professor's pupils on the wooden horse. Ic appears that a few of 1 the professor's most advanced soholars 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, ?nd tbe incline part was moved close to the east Bide of the hall, ao that the highest part rested on a window-sill, the window having been removed io the afternoon. Several of the new beginners bad been showing their skill in liding round the room, and when Mr. Dunlap came into the hall he was called upon to ride ?nd immediately complied, mounted the mt! ?hine, snd away he went at lightning speed -around the hall. As soon a? he had got the velocipede up to foll speed, he went Straight for the incline plane, (all who were posted in the movement of the plane supposed -that Hr. Dunlap knew of the change, and woo only trying 'some new trick/ but, as the se? quel shows, he was entirely ignorant of the chango, ) np he wont Uko a bird, and did not discover bis mistake until it was too late. Away he went, through the window, like? flash, and disappeared I All stood spell-bound .tor * second, and then rushed to the windows, oxpoctinK to seo his mangled body on the ground below. But he was not 'born to die,1 in that way, for tho speed at which ho was going carried him acioss an alloy ten feet wide, and he alighted "right side up" ou Carter, Beesloy Sc Co.'s drug storo, a two-story build? ing with a very steep roof; down their roof and over the edge he wont, sailing on to the roof of Ayor's bank, where he managod to fall off his machino in time to save himself from going over to the ground. As soon as possible ho spraug to his foot, swung his hat, and gave throe oheers, whioh were responded to with a will by tho excited crowd, whioh filled all the windows of the hall, and bad watched his de? scent with silent horror. Dr. Dunlap thinks he is ontitlod to the champion medal as tho most daring velocipede rider in this section of country." CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 10, 1869. lt ?pr?sent?t Ire H?ge. 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, Demoorat, who was eleo ted, has had his trouble for his pains. The manoeuvres by whioh H?ge obtained his seat were characteristically ingenious. Aooidentally, and to his own surprise, eleoted Justice of the Supreme Court of this State, he so hid his native sagacity and legal lore, eo disguised Ms profound knowledge under a mask of twioe-sixteon-year-old simplicity, that the benighted Demoorats looked upon him as a mere puppet and the wily Radicals regarded him as a fool. So deftly did he play his part that the Radioal 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 could haye 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 Distriot, and his opponent, Mr. Reed, had been elected by a thumping majority. There was no overcoming thu? fact. Even the Prince of Liars could not give evidence' enough to overcome 3008 votes, even al the rate of alie to the 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 done promptly, a resolution being passed forbidding the consideration of the claims of any -person who was ineligible to hold office and whose disabilities had not been removed. H?ge was at onoe deolared t o 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 was squarely and fairly defeated by Mr. Reed; but Mr. Reed was barred out and Mr. H?ge takes his seat. The number of vofes had nothing to do with it. Mr. - - --? ?j <?,wv T won, ana lt H?ge bad reoeived but 5 votes he would still have been eleoted. 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 rights, and makes an eleotion a foregone conclusion-a mookery, a delusion and, a snare. However, H?ge has taken bis seat, and will sit amioably by the Bide of Whittemore and Bowen until there can be admitted to complete the quartette A. S. S. Wallace, who was thrashed as soundly in the Fourth Distriot by Colonel Simpson, as H?ge was ia 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 piok, and three hundred thousand white people in South Carolina to abuse and misrepresent. Tbe New -Jury Law. It seems that the palladium of our liber? ties-tie trial by jury-will henceforth, like oharity, cover a multitude of sins; not so muoh sins of malice and revenge aa of ignoranoe and inexperience. "The act to regulate the drawing of juries, passed September 28, 1868, requires the Selectmen of every town, once in every year, to prepare a list of such inhabitants of th? town as they think well qualified to serve as jurors, "being persons of good "moral oharaoter, of sound judgment and "free from all legal exceptions." This list (Section 5) ie to be posted up in two public plaoes ten days before it is submitted for revision and acceptance, "and shall then "be laid before any regularly oalled town "meeting, and the town meeting may alter "it by adding the name: of any person )ia "ble to serve, or striking any names th ere "from." To this section, at the'session of the Legislature just dosed, 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, the same pro? portion as the whole number of white "voters bears to the whole number of col? ored voters in tho township, city or coun 4'ty, as the case may be." The effect of this proviso in Charleston judicial oonnty (Charleston and Berkeley) will be to make the list eontaln three times as many negroes as white men, the registra? tion of March, 1808, being 18,688 colored voters and 4602 whit? voters. But the Se? lectmen are directed to seleot persons "of "good moral oharaoter, of sound judgment," and as the proportion is cnly "ee near as "maybe," it might happen that the list, when completed, would oontain less than eight blaoks oat of every dosen persons. And, in any ease, the jurors are drawn, from the Hat by loi, and, although the ohanoes are in favor of colored names being drawn in the ratio of their numerical supe? riority, lt might OOOUF tant all whites or all negroes, or half of each, would be drawn. In civil oases, however, there is a loop? hole which wiii enable suitors to escape ft trial by jory. The third section of the "Act to reg?late the praeiioa?of the Circuit ?.Courts incertain eases," ls as follow?: I "Israel of foot la civil ?jejes? u amy Cir "cuit Court, may bo tried and determined ?.by tho court without tho intervention of "a jury, whenever the parties or their at? torneys of record 61e their consent, iu "writing, with the Clerk of the Court, "waiving a jury." This euables the par? ties iu all civil oases to avoid the jury. And, in regard to oriminal oases, it must be remembered that if the jury consists of eight colored jurymen against four whito jury? men, lhere is every probability that of the persons to be tried criminally at least three fourths will be black.

OFHOE OP UDOLl'HO WOT.'11., | Sole Imp?t Ur of Vit i'<hUdam Aromatic Schnappe, I So ag Bcavcr-Kt? ect. | NEW ?ORK, November 8. 18I?8. J To the People of th(? Southern State? 1 WHEN THE TURE MEDICIN \L RESTORATIVE, now so widely knor.ii as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was Introduced into thc world under tho endorsement of four thousand loading members of tho medical profession some twenty years ano, Its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with strongest possible safeguard against counter? feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate lt diffi? cult and dangerons. It was subraittod to distin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having beon tbusasotrtaiued, sam? ples of tho article were forwarded to ton thousbqd physicians, inoludtng all the leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes ot experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they .said, had long been wanted by tho profession, a? ho reliance could be placod on tho ordinary liquors of commerce all of which were moro or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and Btrength 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 tho 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, as one of the guarantees of its RC nui lio? ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted ; a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a Jae simile of tho proprietor's autograph signature waa attached to each label and cover, bis name and that of the preparation were em? bossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had over been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1861 ; and 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 with the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the r?putation of honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pro? tections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and salo of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of th2 proprietor has been stolen; the indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his label? and bottles have been imitated, his advei'tisomeuis para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than ?ll, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name and brind a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sick, for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, are equally interesle j with the proprietor in the detection and suppression of these nefarious piacticcs. The genuine article, manufac? tured at the establishment ot the undesigned in chledam, Holland, is distilled from a barloy of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juniper, of unequalled pu? rity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it ls treed from every acrimonious and corrosive element. 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 ti a vellera, who are In the habit oi using it aa an antidote to the baneful Influence of unwholesome river water, tes? tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is llTIJtKIU.1/ _ ,_A imm ' m ." . , J ?gouts of the undersigned have been requested to Institute Inquiries on the subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties aa they may ascer? tain to be engaged in the atrocious system of decep? tion. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs un? answerable of tbe purity end medicinal excel? lence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapp? ; that he has expended many thousand dollars in sur? rounding lt with guarantees and safeguards, whluh he designed should protect the p ublic and himself against fraudulent imitations ; that he ha? shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can be uni? formly depended upon as unadulterated; that he haa 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 come off triumphant He, therefore, feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generaUy, to the medical profession aud the Bick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencies of identity, and be calls upon the prosa and the public to aid him in bis efforts to remedy ao great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and che-utats of this city will prove tb the reader that all gooda sold by the under? signe 1 are all that they are repre; ented to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being In every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At all evonts, it is the purest possible article Of Holland Oin, hereto? fore unobtainable, and aa such may be safely prt ?cribed by physicians. DAVID L, MO IT, M.

The examination has resulted m the conclusion that the sample contained no poisonous or -harmful admixture. I have been unable to discover any trace of the deleterious substances wich are em? ployed in the adulteration of liquors.
