Whea tha pure medicinal restorative, aow so wide-
ly known aa WOLFE'S SOHIEDAM SOHNAPPS,
was Introduced iato tha world nnder the indoraemant
of tour thousand leading members of tha medical pro-
fession, soma twepty years ago, its Proprietor was
wall aware that tt oonld not wholly .scape the penal
ty at'laohed to a ll new and useful preparations. He
therefore, endeavored to Invest it with tbe strongeat
possible safeguard against counterfeits, apd to render
all attempts to pirate it dlflsult and daugerous. It
was submitted to distinguished chemists for analysis,
and prononucad by them the purest spirits ever man-
ufactured.. Its purity and properties having been thus
ascertain*!, samples of tha article were forwards I to
ten thoaaand phyaicians, including all the leading
practitioners in tha Uolted States, tor purpose of ex-
periment* . A circular, requesting a trial of the" pre-
paration and report of tha result, accompanied eaeh
specimen. Four thousand of the most eminent med-
ical men 'ntha Union promptly responded. Their
opinlonaettip article ware unanimously favorable.
Such a preps ration, they said, had long been wanted
hy tha pioAsalon, as no relianee oould be placed on
tha ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which Were
more or leqa adulterated, and therefore unit tor med-
icinal purpoaas. Tha peculiar excellence and strength
of the oil of Juniper, whioh formed ohs or the princi-
pal lsgredients of the Schnapps, together with an un-
alloiad character of tbe aleohoUe element, give it, in
the Stimatlon of the faoulty, a marked superiority
over'evary other diffusive simulant as a diuretic,
tonliand restorative,
Tile following are a few of the testimonials In
favor o the Sohnappa:

The Nailaaal Befci.
I renlatiou to thefaodiogof the im
mense debt with whioh the United
State* is now hardened, many journ-
alists seem to imaging that by raising
a fresh loan, or by Issuing sew forms
of indebtedness, we will be enabled to
go into the money market and buy in
oor entire issue of bonds at present
in circulation, and whiob bear such a
high rate of Interest, replacing in their
stead, new securities bearing a much
lower rate of interest thas the old
ones. Their plan is a dubious one,
and ita likelibood of success is very
doubtful. Grant, that the Qoverna
ment were to succeed in getting an •
other form oi loan and whiob bore but
4 per cent interest " foroed into tbu
market, hedged round with enaotH
ments to insure its purchase, in lieu
of the present bonds, doubtless tbe
substitution of a 4 per cent for the 6
per oent rate would insure a saving
annually of many millions of dollara
to the country, but bow manage it—
that's the insuperable dlffliculty.
Once let. it be known that there is
an intention of calling in all bonds of
onr outstanding indebtedness, and
substituting ior them others of less
actual value, our present securities
rise in value, and consequently cost
the nation more than it oould now
purchase them for in the open market,
The only effeot suoh an arrangement
aa the forcing of new certificates of
indebtedness to to tbe hands of bond
holders would have, would be the
giving of an inoreased and fictitious
value to the old issue, and which it
does not now possess, whilst In regard
to any new bonds that might be is-
sued, it is clear from the present state
of the stock market, both here and In
Great Britain, as examplified by the
low state of such firstclass securities
those of Russian and vHolland
bonds, Chat our new certificate con -
sols would have to be issued at snob a
per centpge below par as ,woy1d not
make matters one whit better than
they now are. In fact, we oan see
nothing in the whole plan but an op-
portunity for all bondholders to se
cure a big plum by tbe entire trans-
action.
It is arrant folly folly to entertain
a thought that people will exchange
voluntarily a 6 per cent, interest bond
for one bearing but 4 per cent- of inter-
est, without a premium or some snch
And the only result that
oould accrue trom iiic ..
rangement, would be the the saddling
of the nation anew with a still great*
er indebtedness, and though the rate
of interest be lowered, yet the in-
crease in principal would counterbal-
ance any gain to be hoped for by the
change. Twenty millions might be
saved annually by the introduction
of 4 per cent, bonds, bat (the cost of
that introduction would amount to
many year's purchase of the gains
obtainable, from a reduced rate of
interest.
By far the best, simplest and most
natural plan to be adopted, is one
which recommends a continuous
gradual return to specie payments.—
Paying off obligations just at the rate
our national prosperity enables us to
do, and no more; trusting to the vast
anddaily increasing wealth and pros-
perity of the country to make better
terms for tbe future in all maturing
bonds that our necessities may requre
us to renew.
This plan is the only roally econom-
ical one for both present and future
of cur country. Let tbe absorp-
tion of the old bonds go on, time
will quicken the process and mend
our finanotfB. B.
• The Senate Vlrglala Bill,
The following is the Virginia bill as
it passed the Senate:
An Act to Admit tbe State of Virginia
to Representation in the Congress
of tbe United States.
Whereas, The people of Virginia

tion of State government which is
republican; and
Whereas, The Legislature of Vir
tcinia elected under said Constitution
has ratified the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amendments to tbe Constitu-
tion of the Uolted States; and
Whereas, Tbe performance of the
several acts in good faith was a con-
dition precedent to representation of
the State in Congress; therefore
Se it enacted, ete., That the said
State ot Vijginia Is entitled to repre-
sentation in tbe Congress of the Unl
ted States. Providtd, That before
any member of the Legislature of said
State shall enter upon the duties of
bis office, he shall take and subscribe
and file in the office of the Secretary

owlng:
"I do solemnly swear that I have
never taken an oath as a member of
Congress, or as an officer of the Uni-
ted States, or as a member of any
State Legislature, or as an executive
or judical officer of any State, to sup-
port the Constitution of the United
States, and afterwards engaged in in«
surreotion or rebellion against the
same, or given aid or comfort to the
enemies thereof, so help me God."
Or such person shall, in like man
ner, take, subscribe and file tbe fol-
lowing oath:
"1, , do solemnly awear that I
have, by act of the United States,
been relieved from tbe disabilities
imposed upon me by the fourteenth
amendment of the Coostitntion of the
United States, so help me God."
Which oath shall be taken before
and oertifled by an officer lawfully
authorised to admioister oaST
any person who ahall knowingly
•w"r in taking either of snen
oaths, aball be deemed guilty of per-
jury, and shall be punished therefor
by imprisonment of not leas than uoe
year and not more than ten years, aud
ahall be fined not teas than $1000 and
not more than $10,000; and all trials
for any violation of this act tbe oar-
tificates of taking of either of said
oaths, with proof of signature of either
party accused shall be taken and held
a« conclusive evidence that such oath'
waa lawfully and regularly adcainia-
tered by competent authority.
And providei further, That every
suoh person who aball neglect for a
period ot thirty daya neit after the'1
passage of tbe act to take, subscribe
and file suoh oath, aa aforeaaid, shall
be deemed and taken to all Intents
and purposea to have vacated tho of-
fice : And further provided, That the
State of Virginia Is admitted to rep-
sentation in Congress upon tbe fol-
lowing fundamental conditions: That
the Cooatitutiou of Virginia ahall
never be ao amended or changed aa to
deprive any citiccns or class of citi-
zens of the United StateB of tbe right
to vote, who are entitled to vote by
the Constitution herein recognized,
except as a puniabment for such crimes .
as are now felonies at common law,
whereof they ahall be duly conviotecf
under laws equally applicable to all
the inhabtiants of said State: Pro-
vided, That any alteration of said
Con-titution, proscriptivo in its ef-
fects may be made in regard to tbe
time and place of residence of voters)
That it shall never be lawful for said
State to deprive any cltixen of the
