COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Horning, March 5, 1889. Grunt s Iimugarnl Addi cns. General Granta address'' npon assuming the robes of his high office, will be foond in onr telegraph columns this day. We find nothing remarkable in it. It is about what might have been expected of tho new Pre? sident. It is brief, plain, and direct upon the subject of finance and the fifteenth amendment to tho Constitution-upon these points, ho comes out plainly. Grant wants . things settled. By conceding suffrage to nil, he seems to think we will "have peace." It wa.s not to be expected thut Grant's inaugural would please us in all respects. His policy is not yet fully developed. Beforo wo ven? ture to approve or condemn, wo prefer to wait further development. On yesterday, 4th of March, Grant became President of the United States. "Let tts have peace. " -o Andrew Johnson's Farewell Addrcs*. We havo not yet received this address in full, but tho extracts that havo reached us show that the retiring President leaves his seat with his colors flying. Ho deserves tho admiration of tho country, and tho gratitude of the South. Ho stood up nobly for the right, as ho conceived it. Well may he say: "It is a matter of pride aud gratification, in retiring from tho most exalted position in tho gift of a free people, to feel mid know that in a long, arduous and eventful pablio life, my notions have never been in * flaenced by desire for gain, and that I can, in all sincerity, inquire whom have I de? frauded, whom have I oppressed, or at whose hands have I received any bribe to blind my oyes therewith?" -o Under tho caption ol "Military Orders Extraordinary," the New York Herald, of Tuesday, says: The day after to-morrow, General Graut will move on the enemy's works from his present quarters in Wash? ington. He will occupy tba White House, taking caro to protect his rear by confiding his late position to tho persoii.il direction of Lieutonaut-Geuerul Sherman. Prom his new post General (theu President) Grant will issuo orders commanding tho legions under the direction of General Economy, Gonernl lletronchmcut and General Reform to move into line and align with tho right resting ou tho pillar of Public Opinion. General Satisfaction will personally com? mend President Grant, if these orders be promptly aud faithfully obeyed. -o Miss MCCULLOCH.-The following flatter? ing notice of the performance-of this lady in "Belisario," appears in tho Cower dei Etats Unis: "Miss, McCulloch carried oil tho honors of tho evouing. Her voice it less distinguished for strength than limpidi? ty. She embellished her romance of tht second net with a vocalization of thc purest taste, and executed it with precision, accu? racy aud flexibility. Her chromatic gamut* resemble fire-works, and her prolonger! nutes were executed to perfection; thc staccato untos were most silvery, and feli upon the air like the patterings of rain, Tho final result of tho opera was a per fee success." Miss McCulloch is a native Carolinian well known to many of our readers, whi will be glad to learn that she is achieving brilliant success iu the profession which sin has chosen. A nice way of overcoming bashful scru p!-s has Leen found iu North Carolina. A ii recent wedding, a guest proposed that om mai, in the company should be selected a president; that this president should bi tlnly sworn to keep entirely secret all tin communications that should be forwardei to him in his official department that imjlit that ?nell unmarried gentleman aud lad; should write bis or ber name on a piece o paper, aud under it place the name of tin (u rson they wished to marry, then hand i to the president for inspection, and if an; lady aud gentleman had reciprocally chose' each other, the president was to* in torn each of tho result, and those who had no been reciprocal in their choice were to b kept entirely secret. After the appoint nient of the president, communication wero accordingly handed up to thc chaii and it was lound that twelve young ladh and gentlemen had reciprocal choices, nn eleven of the twelve matches wero solemi i/.t-d.

NKOBO'B F?T?BK.-The N?W York Star Laving granted that Congress has done what it pleased ia, creating Sambo a so? vereign voter, makes this pertinent inquiry : ' "And now for-his future. What better can he have, or dc, or be, than heretofore? Laws don't change bis hair, his color, or his shins. Laws won't admit him, and if they did tho managers wouldn't, to the inaugu? ration ball. Society cannot change his cus? toms, nor will barber shops nod restaurants. The fact is, that humanity involved in tho matter, though genuine, was small, and the party bunkum so entirely over-rode all the moral and personal considerations, that long years ago common peoplo sickoned of the trash of Phillips, tho twaddle of Tilton, and tbo soft shell rants of Dickenson. Tho end bas come at last. Pompey bas bis future in his own linud. Ho is master of his situa? tion; now give him a fair show and seo what he eau do." -o WALTER SCOTT.-It is proposed in Qrcat Britain to celebrate, by a grand display, the centennial anniversary of the birth of tho great novelist, Walter Scott, which will occur on August 15,1871. From tho length of tho timo allowed for tho preparations, it is very probablo that a festival is proposed similar to tho "Shakspcaro Jubilee," pro? jected by David Garrick, aud celebrated at Stratford on Avon, September G, 8, 17G9. Thc participators in this jubilee represented tho characters of Shakspearo's plays, aud mado an imposing appearance. Tho heroes aud heroines of Scott's poems and romances brought together ou tho same stage would present a vivid picture of the dress, lan? guage, manners and custom's of Scotland, England, Prance, Switzerland, Burgundy, Palestine, <&c. Office of Udolpho Wolfe, BOLE IMTOIIT. or TUE SCHIEOAH AUOJIATIC SCHNAPPS 22 BEAVER STIIF.ET, NEW YOEE, NOV. 3, '68. To the l'eop'c of the Southern Slates. When tho pure medicinal restorative, now so widely knowu aa Wolfo's SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was? introduced into the world, under thc endorse? ment of 1,000 leading members of tho medical pro? fession, some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well nwaro that it could not wholly escapo the penalty attached to new and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with thc strongest possible safeguard against counterfeit? ers, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult ! and dangerous, lt w-as Bubmitteu to distinguish- j ed chemists for analysis, ami pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity ' and properties having been thus ascertaiueu, . samples of tho article were forwarded to 10,ooo I physcians, including all tho kadi:.g practitioners in tho United .states, for purposes of experiment, j A circular, requesting a trill of the preparation I and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. 4,000 of tho most eminent medical men in tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article wero unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by tb?? profession, UH no reliance could bo placed on tim ordinary liquors of com moree; ad of which wi re nioru or less adulterated, und, therefore, j unlit for nw dical purposes. The peculiar excel? lence and strength of tho oil of juniper, which formed one of the principal ingredients of tho Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic element, give it, in tho estimation | of tho faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic, tonio and restorative. Those satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rank were published in a condensod form, and enclosed with each bottlo of the Schnapps, as one ot tho guarantees ol itu genuineness. Other precautions against fraud woro also adopted; a pate nt was obtained for tho | article, the label was copyrighted, a.lac .tint's of the proprietor's autograph signature waa attached to each label and cover, his name and that of thc preparation were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private sea!. No article bud ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfe*? Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and tho lib. i was deposited, HS his trade murk, in the [Tutted States District Court for thc Southern Dis? trict of New Stork during that your, lt might ni- ? apposed, ny persons unacquainted with the daring character of the pirates wno prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants, by v< II ling deleterious trash under their name, that j thc protections s> carefully thrown around these Schnapps would linvo precluded the introductions | ami ?.ile .! counterfeit*.

In conclusion, tho undcr ? signed would s.y that he has produced, from under the blinds of tin; moat distinguished men ol science m America, proofs unanswerable of tim purity and medicinal excellence of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps; that bc baa expended many t hot sand dollars in surrounding it with guarantors and safeguards, which ho designed should protect tl?j public and himself against fraudulent imita? tions; that he has shown it to bc the only liquor in thc world that can bo uniformly depended upon as unadnltnratod; that ho has challenged investi? gation, analysis, comparison and experiment iu all its l inns: and from every ordeal tho prepa? ration which bear? his name, seal and trado mark, has corno off triumphant.

UDOLPHO WOLFE. 1 feel bound 0 nay, that I regard your Schnapps as being, in every respect, pio-omincntly pure, and deserving ot medical patronage.

DEAR Hm: 1 havo made a chemical examination of a samplo of your Schiedam Schnapps, with the intent of determining if any foreign or injurious snbstance bad been added to tbo simple distilled spirits. DEAR SI?: Tlio want of puro Winos and Liquors, for medicinal purposes, has been long felt by thc profession, and thousands of lives have been sac riticcd by thu usc of adulterated articles. Delirium tremens, and other diseases of thc brain and nerves, so rife in this country, are very rare in Europe; owing, in a great degree, to the difference in tho purity of the spirits sohl. Wo havo tested tlie several articles imported and sold by yon, including your Gin, which you sell under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps, which v. r consider justly entitled to the high reputation it had acquired in this country; and, from your Jong experience aa a foreign im? porter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors should meet with the same demand. Wo would recommend you to appoint some of the respectable apothecaries in different parts nf tho city as agents1 for tho sale of your Rrauthcs and Wines, where the profession can obtain the same when needed lot medicinal purposes. Wishing you success in your new enterprise, we remain vour obedient servants. VAL li NT INF. MOTT, M. D., Professor of Surg? ry, Universitv Medical College, New York. J. M. CAHNOCHAN, M. J)..

The Chronicle and Sentinel well says: We are fearful lest tho present high price of cotton shall induce the Georgia planter to devote too much of his land this year to tho production of that staple- to the neglect of a fnll corn crop. Snoh a policy, if adopted, will surely lead to tho ruin of those who ongage in it. We care not what price cotton may briug, tho first duty of those planters who would prosper is to se? cure full and ample provision crops. We hear a great deal of nonsense talked these days about its being cheaper to buy bacon than to raiso it, when a pouud of cotton will bring tho prico required to pur? chase a pound of bacou; and that an acre of land planted in cotton will bring money enough nt present prices to purchase as much corn as three or four acres will pro duce. Thoso who argue in this way, and act in accordance with these theories, will j always bo poor. Their stock and work aui mnls will never be nblo to perform full work, and every living thing about the j plantation will speak trumpet-touged j against such a false system. It matters not how much cotton the I planter produces, he can never make large j net gain so long as he is compelled to pur? chase at high prices everything consumed in making tho crop. A large crop of cotton ! mada in this way would tend to depress ! prices while the extraordinary demand for I grain and provisions, growing out of a j failure on the part of colton planters to ! make their own supplies, would send prices I np. This, then, is the inevitable result tobe j derived from largo cotton to the exclusion j of corn planting-low priced cotton-high I priced corn-lean and weak work stock I starved farm animals-empty pockets shoeless children-threadbare clothing and sour dispositions. Tho experience of our planting friends j will bear ns out in tho declaration that j planters will not feed sufficiently when they have to buy provisions. The}' will also pur? chase cheap supplies-musty corn, poor bacon, etc.-which in turn produces disease among their stock, and often heavy losses in tho very midst of the plowing season. Have we nil forgotten so soon the distress and want and disease of tho year 18(17, fol? lowing au almost total failure of the crop of loGt?? Will not planters be warned in time of a like and imminent danger grow? ing out of a failure to try to make provi? sions'? On Saturday, Gen. Vau Allen, (formerly of Gen. Hooker's staff, and in command at Yorktown.) who has recently arrived from Cuba, had an interview with Gen. Grant, in behalf of tho Cuba revolutionists, who wished him to urge upon the Presidentelect and upon leading members of Congress, the necessity of giving them some encourage? ment in their efforts to free Cuba. Gen. Grant replied, that thc Cubans not only had his earnest sympathy, but ho was disposed to give them the more substantial support of official recognition. Spnin, by her un? friendly course to us during thc rebellion, had relieved us of any obligation to con? sider her interest in tho matter. Ho favored tho resolution offered by Senator Sherman, Saturday night, authorizing tho President of the United States to acknowledge tho independence of Cuba when, in his judg? ment, it would bo proper. THE CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION FROM GEOROIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA.-lt is under? stood that Mr. McPherson, the Clerk of the House of Representatives, holds tho Geor? gia credentials to be imperfect, because they do uot state, as required by law, to what Congress the claimants were elected; and the Louisiana credentials to bc imperfect, because they do not certify that tho claim? ants were duly elected. On both these points, tho law is imperative. In thc Third and Fourth Districts of South Carolina, two conflicting credentials have been signed by tho State officers. In all these cases, the Clerk deems it his duty to submit tho paliers to the House, to be neted upon after the election of a Speaker. I ?Ve/e Vork lleruld. In tho present session of tho British Par? liament tho question of voting by ballot is to be brought forward by the distinguished diplomatist, Sir Henry Bulwer; and there is now a better prospect of the ballot, passing ; into law than at any previous timo during tho many years of its discussion. The Lon ! don Kaviar says that tho ballot has "passed from thc category of things that cannot ha ? to the category of things that must be;" ! and though it will oe .strongly opposed by I tho Tories, who have been furnished with 1 arguments against it by Joliu Stuart Mill, j thc Liberals feel assured of its success un i der Gladstone's administration.

F26Jlt3 SCGCES3 THE EVIDENCE OF MERIT.-The world has ever looked upon success as the ! criterion of merit. Take Crobar, Charle? magne, Alexander; meu call them great be? cause, they were successful. They achieved I what they aimed at. Grant was successful. Therefore Grunt is called great. It is true, men maj* fail and yet may be great. Lee, for instav.ee, failed, and yet lie is called great. In the case of men tho rule, there? fore, does not hold always. But in the ease of MEDICINE it is a sure test. No medicine is good unless it produces the effect desired, and, measured by this standard, HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S DELrOHT is truly a great medicine, because the cures are chronicled every day, (see certificates.) It is the greatest achieve j nient of science that wo have been called j upon to record. Tbe testimonial pages are as bright as they must be nattering to the I proprietor. We say try HEINITSH'S QUEEN'S j DELIGHT, and no other; avoid imitations and base counterfeits, and, above nil, shun I the i ni poster who desires to make you bc I Hove any other is as good. .

TUTT'S VEGETABLE LIVEB PILLS supplies this want. Tliey act directly on the Liver; their constant use will not injuro in tho slightest degree the most delicate constitution. Females at any period may use them with great benefit, and realize great relief from tho distressing nausea which they experience at certain times. These pills aro not recommended ns a unt versal cure-all, but simply for diseased Liver, and thoso maladies which follow a derangement of that important organ, such ns Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Costiveness, Piles, Jaun? dice, Sour Stomach, Ladies' Heartburn, Chills and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlessness at night, and Flatuleucy.
