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.

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

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.

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. True
it is well for every farm-yard or cit1
lot to have :i watch dog; but is it nt
cessary for every tami ly ?ni the faro
to own one? True, it, is manly spot
to hunt foxes, even though the hunt
er becomes a uuisauce to his neigh
bor's cotton and grain fields; but V
enjoy this sport, is it necessary b
feed innumerable hal! curs, t hat "cry
more lustily alter a rabbit or Hock <
sheep than they do utter a fox? True
"nigger" loves '"possum:" but is i
right that he should keep a coon do

True, the fair maiden land some tlc

calculate the cost ol' feedinga dog ii
a twelvemonth. Without euumer.a

I tin- sheep-cote. 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

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

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

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 (

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

can be urged against their being
