Whilst the public journals of the .country continue still to discuss ?he question of "Ciesai ism7' ? or the dangers which threaten us from w>-olr>ctif>n of President Grant J.UV ? to a third term?the Xew York Herald, which inaugurated the discussion, adds from day to day lull material for arriving at a proper Conclusion, in the view of leading statesmen of all parties and from nil sections, which arc published in its columns. Neither, however, the discussions in the press nor the pentimer.ts of politicians who have )>een interviewed would seem to indicate any serious fear from this cause. Various as arc the views expressed, they seem generally to pgree in holding that the President Jias no design at present of playing the part of the modern CVpsar, and that even if so disposed, his success would be very problematical. These ponclusions are thus expressed by Judge Packer, of Pennsylvania, to A correspondent of the Ilcfald: "The present moment is opportune for the discussion, not because President Grant is filling his second term and may desire a third:, but for tho reason that the period ot service should be fixed unalterably !?y law, and not by sentiment. Sentiment cannot conquer neec]. The subject lias only a relation to Cjcsar ' -1 x r?.. t ,1,. ism m tne luiurv, iui j. vu? w..sider that President Grant is desirous of making himsc]i?jmpcrator. lie is, I judge, devoid of ambition, and undesirous even of another term of ofiice. Still, lie may be urged by his "friends" to accept, tveu to eijdcavor to bring about a third nomination. There are chords in his organization that can be flayed upon to make a music that he is over desirous to hear. And there arc among his "friends'' a number of muster musicians. See how thoy played upon him in the Louisiana matter. Were it not that the people know the character of those political musicians, they might do even greater mischief than they have done. Upon this knowledge of the people, and the fact that the "musicians" arc coming forward as the chief champions of the republican party, supporting and bein?? supported bv the admin* 1 i-?i:4.1,? istration, i uase u ucuci m mu m.-?. dissolution of their party. The evidence is ver}' clear. lUitlcr comes up in Massachusetts as a candidate for Governor, and, though he is propped by the Washington patronage, all the reputable leaders of his party denounce and oppose him, while they declare a continued fealty to the administration. That is the first revolt, and therein is the primary symptom . of the radical party's disruption. The greater politicians denounce and oppose, while the lesser ones support General Butler. If the present rcputa ble Massachusetts political men do not, in the event of Butler's election, prove themselves meaner, by giving their support to him, than those who, urged by administration patronage, give aid to him at present, the breaking up of.the radical partyAyill be complete in the Bay State. Once well started, the revolt will spread throughout the country. In every State' the "musicians," who are now so pleasantly placed, will be overthrown. All these facts bear against the possibility of Cffisarism, with General <*rant as its exponent. But, as I - paid before, I <Io not think the President wants to be n Cresar." The Herald itself has not assumed that General Grant desires a continuance in office, nor that he himself would abuse its power for the purpose of securing its perpetuation, but that with the present tendency to centralism in the Government, through its increased power pnd enormous patroungc, the election of the President to a third term would serve as a fatal prece - ? i (dent to .enable some unscrupulous successor to usurp absolute rule. A leading English journal, the Pall Mull Gazette, which discusses American alKuj-s with intelligence I?p4 discrimination, thinks that the circumstances of the tiyies are very auspicious to the ye-eiection of Orant, and that such a result would be pregnant witli danger to uie injure liberties of the country. It finds ground for tlic first view in the fact .that Grant is indeed the .only prominent man of his party,' l jind that that party, with the pres ^tige of success and its thorough ^ Organization, can scarcely fail to I vanquish all opposition?its ground, of apprehension of futpre peril tq tho country is found in tlje enor: inoiis increase of the power and patronage of the central Government. It says : "Tho question for tho American ipeople to consider is, what use an * * * i t _ i? ij unscrupulous man uj inc piace 01 . General Grant might make of the j immense resources which he wields. 11 The power of patronage was never ' J before organized into a system so I complete ami so coherent as that J which is at the disposal of President Grant. Caucuses and wirepullers and the stiri'ing explvitaivs I of countless rings and lobbies are bound in faithful allegiance to the Chief of the Executive by the bonds ; of this comprehensive system. It ^ - * - 1 1 .1 .1 ^nf Ij should be rememoerea mat me pui ronage ol' the administration is almost wholly of modern growth, land that the practice of removing . the mass of the public servants after ' every ['residential change has only been developed within the last ljalf of the eighty-four years' existence of the American constitution. General Jackson was the founder of tlm evstom nf removal from ofHce as a' scheme of political rewards . and punishments. In his eight years of rule lie removed G90 officials, while in the forty-four years ot constitutional government that preceded his ejection only sixtv. four removals had taken place. . This engine of authority has now been perfected, and it never was used so skillfully as by General Grant. It is certain that this influence, aided by others which it is !unnecessary to indicate more pre?: cisely, consolidates the strength o. the President for good or for evil! more effectually during every additional year of his power. There isl in the American mind a traditional! . I land almost fanatical detestation of the hereditary principle, and it is! in the highest degree'unlikely that! General Grant or any other Amcri-J can President will be able to eradi-1 cafe a prejudice so deeply rooted as this, But it is quite possible that if the custom which limits the ambition of a President to a second! term of oflice be broken through a! craft}' and unscrupulous Chief of the American Executive may succeed in imposing himself formally upon the Republic as a personal ruler for his lifetime." " To ps of the South the question is more theoretical than practical* <?t,>1 nIiwimi./i vnvv lifrfln inlnrost. ill IVI V ? VI J liiuv Wi vwi here until we are relieved of lnisgoverumcnt at liome.

The South has something worse to dread than Caesarism. British and American Journalism. Mr. G. Yf. Snmlley, the London correspondent of tl^e Xew York Tribune, in a recent letter defends the London press from 'the depreciating criticism of Mr. Ilenry Wattcrson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who is now traveling in Europe and corresponding I tor his paper. In a recent letter, i the latter charged upon the London j press, and the Times especially, an j amount of old-fogyism, dullness, ! and lack of enterprise, wlucli was idiscreditable to a great metropolitan journal. "Whilst admitting to some extent tlie truth of the statement, Mr. Smalley thinks that the j character and influence of the Times jlias been very much under-rated by j the writer, whilst he has ignored i the cardinal differences in the chararistie traits of the English and i ! America^ people, which have given i a very different complexion to the ;tone and character of the newspaper press of the two countries. j lie says: I "Mr. "Watterson thinks the Tmc& ( lull find weak, and wonders at its 1 influence?or would wonder did lie j not find the people who read it also 'dull and weak. There I must part conrpany with him altogether. Unj doubtedly, it lacks the spri^htliness land vivacity, the personality, the positiveness, and many other spicy characteristics of the (itmirr-Jouriruil. J5ut then it is with newspapers as it is with almanacs. They j arc calculated for a peculiar meri|dian. It is quite possiblcj^hat the I Times would not be adapted for I tlmt of Louisville, neither do i think the Courier-Journal would do |tor London; which is no more rejproach to one than the other, Mr.! Watterson's mistaKe if in applying; jtlie same standard to both, lie! jfeels very strongly tliat if his sub-| (seribers were served some morning | .with the Times they would miss J what they find in the Courier-Jour-' 'mi/. He concludes that the miss-| iingelements ought to be supplied.! i lint if we may suppose that on the j j same morning that the Times' read-j ers were presented with the Courier- j J Journal, Mr, Watterson himself, "-nnlil not feel sure of their beiniri any better satisfied tlmn his own' Jventuckians with the Times. There! is no nse in quarreling with facts. I The Times is u great power, and, I instead of trying to prove it isn't,! Mr. AVatterson's acumen would! have been more profitably employ-1 ed in discovering why it is a great) power. There must be great ability I in the paper somewhere. It is easy, to point- out some of the causes! I v* ' which make tho TimC3 what it is. ,8 To give a pompfptff account of Jjiepi r would carry me beyond the limits!' of a letter, and this is already poj' I long that I prefer to postpone the ! .partial statement, which is all J 1 shall attempt." il 4<s>* 11 Kuox's New Brick Range-Well-Ar- ;t ,1 1 vnnond Dwelling. I r ? f AVe had the pleasure a few days t since pf inspecting the nciv brick 'range whjeh ;\Ir. Johij Knox, one , | of our most enterprising merchants, i is erecting upon the McLaren lot [of the burnt district, and which wilijf | now be soon completed. The build-: ] jingis one of the mpst handsomcL 'and commodious in our town, and!( I . whilst it reflects credit upon the I public spirit of tbc proprietor, is an i i ornament to our public square. ( | In the ^irst story ar.e two large i stores, separated by massive lire- ( proof walls, whilst a spacious stair- < way from the front leads to a large t public hall and tenement rooms 1 above. The corner store below is i one .hundred and fifteen feet in < length by twenty-five feet in width, < and is well ventilated and well < | lighted by large windows in front I jand on the side; the windows in 1 [front to Lave the beautiful panes of c i the large French glass. The store \ is to be occupied as a. grocery store i by Mr. Knox, and in the rear on } [the street is a wide door for the re- t Iception and delivery of lieavy I freight. In the basement of this r building, with an entrance from ( the rear, is a well lighted and well 1 ventilated apartment designed, we I believe. for a bar-room and ten-Din c alley. I The .store next adjoining the cor- s ner store is some eighty-seven feet r sf * in length by some twenty feet in c width, and will be occupied by Mr. r Rosenberg, (who for a short time ? during the past year did business s at the Dendy corner,) with an as- t sorted stock. Like the other, the t stand is a very excellent one. t Ascending the stairway, we have ? the commodious public hall, 011 the ^ right, directly above the second e store. This will accommodate com- c fortably as la;;gc an audience as the < town can often afford, and will 1 supply a very great desideratum. I On the left of the hall is the en- ^ ! trance to the tenement rooms above t , the first store. Upon the street at i the corner is a well lighted parlor, 5 with some cjght rooms extending ( j t& the rear?seven with lire-places, < ' to bo used as bed-rooms, and the * I eighth with a .stove, to be used as a < | kitchen?whilst along the whole < i length of these rooms is a spacious t ! passage, a portion of wjiich is to be < used as a dining room. A stairway at the back leads to a fine well of water, its depth being some ! sixty feet. The brick work has ! been done by Mr. Jeptha "Wilson, { land the wood wortc by fc>eal, Sign ( & Kobertson, and we need not say ? that they have Inen well done. : We hail the erection ot this build- f ing as another step in the path of * I progress?a hopeful indication ofjl jour future?and trust that the enterprise of the proprietor will meet with well-merited pecuniary sue- f cess. I We aho had the pleasure of inspecting the new brick residence of ( < Mr. Knox, which is very tasteful in j j appearance, an<l nicely arranged I ( for comfort and convenience. It [ ^ 'lias some six rooms, all well venti luted and well lighted, and lias uL Igond well of water under the roof,'* i of the bouse. ^ To the People of tjie State, J At a meeting of the citizens ofi' Columbia, held August 27, 1873,'] the Messrs. >Sppague proposed to ( i the citizens of Columbia to form a joint stock company, with a capital ;f stock of ?650,000 ? the Columbia c i Water l'ower Company to contrib-jt jute all its real and personal proper- < ty, its rights, iram-hises, &c., at the assessed snm of ?325,000; the citiIzens of the State to contribute in I leash the sauie amount in shares of I ?100 each.

Ond of the most serious ] charges of the Georgian against i McCarty is, that lie "worked,, in a i Government printing oftice" when-l he was in Washington city, and bonce is a Radical. The Elbcrton Gazette seems to be under the impression that one of the editors of the Georgian is also a Radical, because he once held the office of agent of the Frecdmon's Bureau. Tlie 'Georgian apologizes for his having accepted the office, and puts in various excuses for the act. The Georgian closcs his remarks by making allusion to Parson Brownlow, and, as a set-off, we shouldn't wonder it" the Gazelle appeals to General D. II. Hill in the/next issue of his paper.
