COLUMBIA ' j Thursday Horning. March 21, 1?6"J. j ; I A new Volum?-. This morning's issue of the Phoenix commences its third volume-an? other point in its progress since its establishment that we record with gratification. During the trying times through which its infancy lias beim passeu, we have no reason to be discouraged for its fui uro growth and well-doing, lt will be our constant aim, as hereto? fore, to make it, both daily and tri? weekly issues, as well us our large family journal, the (Heir,HT, accept? able journals to their readers, and in all respects devoted to their interests aiuj the welfare of those among whom it circulates. The past con? duct, of these papers is, we feel, all the guarantee that will be required ! for the future; and may the initiation of each succeeding volo ino find t > ali in an improving condition. -.? ? " . ... . Tlic BnfVa.ncIktsi'(l. We soe it stated by tho Washing? ton ('/iii,,i that, since the election in Alexandria-a day or two before the editor wrote-sonn; li itv negroes hud been discharged, und that others would be, as soon as white men could be found to fill their places. It is further stated that hundreds of ne? groes were loitering around the cor? ners, and that their grumbling could be heard by every passer-by. This is an unhappy .state of things, nor can wc think why it should be so. Tlic enfranchisement of tho freedman was a great step towards his elevation as a resident and citizen ol' the South, and we eau sec no reason, unless that they wore precipitated and manipu? lated by unprincipled ?non in Alex? andria, before the present j,av went into operation in Virginia. Since General Schofield has tauten command in that district, lie suspended the municipal elections in Fredericks burg, and the Richmond Dispatch is of opinion (hat the elections in other towns will be suspended, for thc rea? sons which governed him in the case of Fredericksburg. As thc Dispatch says, in remarking upon the .suspension of tho election referred to, thc clothing of the negro with.the eli ctive franchise is .so great a ste}) towards his elevation, that even Congress seems to consider that it must bc done with some degree of .system, as much to protect him as tho community. To begin with voting as they are -with no registry and too clear understanding--would very much confuse the matter of voting, and of protecting the elections from frauds, not so much to be feared from thc freedman as from his vicious ad * visers. Tho operation of the supplemen? tary bill, us it is calli d, which vests in the district military commanders the power to set the machinery of re? construction in motion, has passed both houses of Congress ?md gone to the President. This bill provides for a general registration and for all tin: necessary regulations for conducting the elections under tim military law, and will doubtless prevent, to a great extent, disorder or confusion. In this district-tin. second -we think thole will be no difficulty whatever. The. now voters-the intelligent por? tion (d' them, at least-appreciate and know tho responsibility resting upon thom, and we feel assured, from thu peaceful character of theil large demonstration on Monday, ant from the remarks of their own speak ors, as well as the manner in whicl they received the addresses of Gen Hampton ami tin; other gentlemei they had invited to speak on tin occasion, that if all this class- o voters in North and South Carolin; are influenced by the same spirit am motives as tiley seem to bein tilt vicinity, tho commander of the ..se coud district" will have little troubl in administering the new law wit! satisfaction t>> till parties. Above ul! things, a spirit of nut;! gonism betwee? the two races-be tween the old and thc new voters must be scrupulously avoided. Bot must work harmoniously togetbc for their .section, and wo believe thal il we do our duty cheerfully, faitl fully and honestly towards the ci franchised freedmen, tiny will be ti true as steel to those among whoi I 'ey were born, and by whom the W ac ".used and protected. \ THE OONFET>?ATE COTTON LOAN.- ? Th? vvholo questm n in relation to the ela i ms of the F ny ed Stutts against certain indi vidu.-ds io England, ami the status <.!' thc*, cotton loan, has been submitted to Sir R. P. Collier, a banister of great eminence and late English Solicitor-Geueral. ft appears that the question was, wheller or not merchants and others, on being sued in England by the Government of tint United States for property or money held by them, at the termination of the war, belonging to tin- Southern States, may not successfully plead the Confederate seven per cent, cotton bonds as a set uti', to the extent of the amount that each d?tendant may hold of them; and Sir R. 1*. Collier gave his opinion as follows: [n thc event of the United States Government sueing in tin-courts of this country for debts due or property belonging to the lute Confederate Government, I am of opinion that d?tendants who may be holders of Confederate cotton bonds are entitled to set up a counter claim against the United States Government in respect if these boto!--. This counter claim will be founded on the principle that if the United States assert in our courts accruing to them through their succession to the property ami rights ot' the l;dc Confederate Go? vernment, they arc bound by the liabilities of that Government. Should the United Stales Government bring actions ol' debt. I think that the holders of cotton bonds may plead them as a set-off. Should they pro? ceed for a tortious conversion of pro? perty, ti technical diiliculty will stand in th" way of this defence, and it may be necessary to resort to an equitable plea, or possibly to the pro? tection of a court ot' equity. Tue equitable ease of the bond-holders will lu; streng: honed hythe facts that Hie United States Government have possessed themselves of the cotton set apart -ts the security for thc pay? ment of tin bonds. The ?orin, how? ever, in which the defence 1 have indicated may be raised, will be a matter of subsequent consideration, when the mode ct proceeding adopt? ed by the United States Government is know n. Ht 1.1: on BE Liunni). -The New York World, at the conclusion of au article on the situation, say.-.: "Thc only question or choice foi tiie Southern States is. whether the;, will be horse or rider whether tin" will control their States by participa timi, or surrender I hem t o the cont ru of th<' radicals by abstention. Klee tious will certainly be he1:!, and heh early. lt the majority of tie-South ern whites stay away from the Iiis polls by choice, they v. iii be kop away from ali future polls by disfran cbisement. This was lue design o Sherman's bill; ?md the object o Wilson's is to hurry the schein through to it.- consummation." Such is tho advice of a load in Northern journal, which has bec consistent in its opposition to th measures of the dominant party, an in its defence o!' the South agains its aggressions. It is worthy of coi. sideration by the Southern people. THE FENIANS AND XIII-: PRESIDENI Wc learn from the New York fierai that the Fenian delegation bail a interview with President Johnson ? the White House on Saturday, whe they urged upon bim to grant th insurgents in ireland belligerei rights ?md io interfere in behalf ( naturalized citizens imprisoned i British dungeons. The Presidei said that he would give the lorim subject his serious; consideration, ; j his sympathies had ?ilways been wit them, ?iud, in regard to the bitte measures had already been taken fi thc release of several imprison? I citizens. -1 ^ ? ?. ORDER.- -The Cheraw Advert>s< says: The Eastern section of the Sta may well feel proud ol' the positii 1 she has and now occupies under h j many trials and difficulties. The ? lias not un instance occurred of ai I aggravated outrage by either tl ! white citizens or tho freedmen. / I have moved ou harmoniously in the i different spheres. From ourpositio i we have more insight into the bu i ness transactions of thc difiere classes than most others; and with the last two years, we have heard but two complaints on tin' part of t freedmen of injustice in the sett ments on their contracts;and m tia cases there really was no injustice unfairness attempted, on in vost H tnni, as iiie freedmen themselves i dared. We have had no garris since hist summer, nor has there be m ed for one. - A FEARFUL FUTURE. -The bon j ville Journal remarks: "No doubt I fearful future is before us. anda fe; fill present around us.

J? ; tiling is certain-the dostnietiiM ! one section will involve tho'di.?: tion of both." * _1 Tuxt?, Direct und Ind irret ?lui on Dogs, ?Sic. ' MESSES. EDITORS: TU a previous article, I attempted to prove that the agricultural lutenists o? our State tacitly submitted to a taxation which would have been rejected as unjust and onerous, hud it been levied for the purpose of revenue. In addition to the fence and rond tax, wc are sub jeeted to another imposition mon burthensome-though less apparent, because more indirect. Heretofore, the possession of a dog has been on? of the privileges claimed by tho beac of each family of laborers on a South? ern plantation, and :i mere glance al the necessary expense incurred by this system ol' doy~raisiny will prov< it to be startlingly enormous. Wi know that most owners of dogs an; unwilling to admit that it is an ex? pense at nil, for, us was said about tin fences and ronds, "they can be maulo and worked when you cnn do mithin rise on thc plantation;" so is san aland feeding dogs- they eat onh scraps that nothing else wii? eut. >.< such thing: the food consum? tl by : doo ju twelve months will grow a hog and. aided by n little corn to hardei thc tat, will place in the snioke-housi 200 pounds of pork annually.

Tie' number of she< killed annually in the United Stat 1>\ dogs is almost incredible. Tin i years ago, the Agricultural Dopa \ ment made an effort, through t various tax collectors, to procn accurately the number of sheep kill hy dogs in 1864. Exclusive ot' t i ''rebel" and Pacific Slates, less ti) I one-fourtb ot' tin- Counties ot' t United States reported, every one ; which was bald to he greatly short ; the accurate number, and yet t feeble return foots up 7>s,0(>o. H all the Counties ot' the Norlin States made faithful reports, the nu ber would doubtless have reael 350,000. It is but reasonable to si pose that a similar report from I Southern and Pacific States woi have doubled this number; or Ttl 000 sheep would in a siugle year hi I !>e:>n led to the slaughter pen hy t I canine species. These 7,^0,000 sin would have averaged in value ] head; for, though they ?nay be 1 I valuable m South Carolina, they a raged in value, that very ye throughout the North, 84 oil ea Thus, beyond a question, over i: 000,000 of taxes an; annually paid the United States to satiate tin; lates ot' blood-thirsty dogs. To Hus indirect tax. no protest ever been preferred, in the shape a law. Two years ago, when our gislature imposed a tax upon di there immediately arose a cry of rect taxation, which sent np a h all over the land "louder than roaring ot' many waters." This t payer swore he would resist it; t one asserted it to he nuconstitutio: and we heard one fanner say to of his Representatives: "Well, w you legislators got down so low I you have to tax as mean a thing dog, you had better stay at hon and yet, had that legislator str that farmer's dog, he would have a fight on his hands; too mean to but not, too mean to tight for. Soini! twelve or fifteen years ; the State imposed a tax on d when, we well remember, one ot' upper Districts, not, as poptdou Richland, made a return ol' 0,000 dogs. In \SC>7>, the return n [throughout the State was notorio (small, and many thousands wen turned, upon which no tax was] , and yet the State Treasury of Slate was enriched, last year, by 1 handsome sum ol' over forty \ thousand- dollars, (?$43,050,) as I amount of taxes paid on dogs. '1 i cannot, certainly, bi; far short ot j hundred thousand dogs in South ( ' lina, and, if taxed as they sholl li they would yield a revenue eqn the whole amount of Stat?' taxes for tin- past year, else one-half ibeirnum ber would be killed, the remainder improved thereby, and the bacon crop of the Stat*; increased at least one million pounds! In Great Britain, dogs are taxed almost S3 each, and consequently, there is not a dog, perhaps, in all that realm that would not sell for double his tax. There they are bought and sohl like horses or cattle, aid conse? quently no constitutional objection can be urged against their being taxed -, i valorem.
