COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Morning, July 21, 1874. Alps on Alps. We have taken no deep interest in the discussion of the third term of President Grant as a possible alterna? tive to be presented to the people of -the South. We have preferred not to consider ourselves as in the poptioal .market; and we have thought, besides, that this issue might not be made. When it is made, it will be time enough to consider it seriously. It looks, now, as if the President desireB ?ad is working for bis re-election, but without any great respect to parties, as at present constituted. His overtures to Southern men, and his expressions ? of interest in the affairs of even poor mobbed South Carolina, pxay have this meaning. Bat wo shall not consider them as bids yet, nor at pat forth to 1 feel the palse of the Southern Demo oratio/voto. We prefer to treat them as spontaneous evidences of a new con ?r?tion whiob has dawned on tbe Pre? sident's mind?as a returning sense of i jastioe to a muob-maligned and out -.-?Sgeoaaly injured people. The ad r. ministration, and the President more particularly, have found that the re - construction of tbe South, whitfu they huve oonduoted and superintended, baa been a stupendous failure; that the condition of society here is daily ?growing more threatening, and that a . -political and social disorganization is ? likely to set in, the evil oonsequeuces ? of which cannot be foreseen; and will not confine themselves to the limits of the section where they originate. They may learn, also, from tbe busi? ness men of the North, from tbe capi? talists, who have ventured their mouey, from tbe merchants who have sold their goods, that their expectations of .. progress and improvement have been - odigivp^ointed. They may well regard the problem of the recovery of tbe South to prosperity as eminently de .serving their best stndy and efforts. /It is only proper that they should feel even more concern for snoh a settle? ment of the ugly sooial and political questions which are rising here to con? front the country as will give assur? ance of peaoe, good order and future good understanding between the runes ?hieb destiny has placed in such pecu? liar and trying relations to each other. In connection with these subjects, soon, as. wo believe, to ripen into practical and pressing' questions for the people of the North and for the General Government to solve, we no? tice the increasing tendency of the press to recognize their weight and importance. The Eercdd, for example, while thinking that the fifteenth amendment cannot be overthrown, yet says that is no obstacle to changing the base of suffrage on some other principle. It neither forbids a pro? perty qualification' nor an educational qualification fur voters, so long us it applies alika to both races, although either kind of qualification would ex? clude a majority of tbe negroes from the ballot-box. It goes on to desoribe ?bat might be done by a President actively exerting his influence in favor of snob a ohange, and requiring all Federal office-holders to work for it in all sortB of ways, both open and uuder hand. It says that "A President thoroughly in earnest -in this business oonld easily, by his patronage and influence, control negro votes enongh to curry a property qua? lification or an educational qnahhea tion in most of the Southern Stutes." This is much to be desired, of course, but nothing seems to us more unlikely than that it will ever come about in this way. What we wish to note purliculutly in, that it is one of a class of questions which are forcing themselves upon the attention of the thinking men of the North, and which ?rill soon clamor for settlement. And settled they mnst be, even if they over? turn the fair fabric of assumed politi? cal' consistency, self complacency and self-rightoonsness. There is no end of the trouble and diffioulty which fol? low wrong. The*/ aro tho whirlwind which they who sow tbe wind are sure -to reap. < m ? ? Informal Registration of Voters. The current opinions about tbe rela ' tive proportions of the Badical und Conservative voters, and of the black and white voters of South Caroliun, ore evidently wide of the mark. It is timo that this popular error was exploded. It has been admitted to be such by the Port Royal Commercial. It scouts tbe idea of 50,000, and doubts whether the .?Radicals can show more than 25,000 majority. It is important that the exact status of the vote shall bo ascer? tained. It was the duty of the last Legislature to have ordered a registra? tion of voters?a duty they were cure fal to omit. Tbe omission may be ?applied, partially, by a little activity, and (industry among tbe Tax Unions. In every Union, some one ought to be designated to ascertain the number of the legally qualified voting population of tbe prociuot. Such information will be needed and will be particularly available against tbe corrupt praotice of repeating and otber forms of fraudu? lent votiug. This duly ou the part of the Unions should not be overlooked or ueglected. It will be well to begin it iu time. In view of tbe conse? quences which binge upon it, we have thought it proper to .repeat the sug? gestions made a mouth or more ago ?-???? 5?o mandamus yet. It i?; ?aid that the Judges have filed, cacb, his own opinion. Under these circumstances, it may he unusually difficult to reach a decision. Perhaps, also, the expressed purpose of Treasurer Cardozo to re? fuse to issue the certificates, uuless tbe Supreme Court of the United StuteB proooancee them constitutional, has something to do with the delay. The ground taken is said to be that they are bills of credit. But so were those issued for tbe Bepnblican Printing Company, and tbey were isaned in part for a claim not valid, for work which has not yet been done. This looks like inconsistency. But tbe course now proposed to be pursued by tbe Treasurer is better than tbe one first taken. If the mandamus is or? dered, and be does not obey it, it is said again that his mettle will be tried by impeachment. -_ ? ?. ? Tbe Orangeburg News attended a mass meeting in its County, at which fifty persons wero present, mostly co? lored, and with few exceptions, all can? didates for offices. Such was tbe fnss and oofnsiou, it took two hours to get a chairman. The Aretes threatens to support "a straight-out Democratic ticket," in preference to some of these clamorous aspirauts. They are mak? ing themselves beard all over tbe State. We read somewhere, lutely, of 1,000 oaudidates iu one County. They have tasted tbe sweets of office, or heard luscious accounts of them. Tbey have been taught that tbey are spe? cially entitled to them. Tbey prefer tbe business of law-muking to cotton making or coru-ruitdng. Tbey will not down at the bidding uf their small leaders. Tbey are troublesome and hungry customers. Reconciliation.?Iu a card signed by both, the Bon. A. H. Stepbeus und Gen. Too nibs, of Georgia, announce thut tbe recent alieuatiou between them no longer exists, and tbat the oordial friendship of nearly forty years' continuance is agi'u perfectly restored. Thia will prove gratifying news to their friends everywhere. -m + 9 *? UmLry v? ."?Ions??II,J.tlntler of Judge Mat-key. Chester, S. C, July 18, 1874. Editor Daily Phibmix: Iu response to my official protest against bid bubi tnal prostitution of the pardoning power, Gov. Moses aih-gOM, through his Aaaistaut Secretary, iu the Phoenix, of yesterday, "that of the forty-oue pardons and commutations grau ted to persons convicted in Judge .Mackey's Oil cult, twenty-eight wero grained on tbe written application of Judge Msckey himself." Presuming this statement to bo true, it does not meet tbe charge thut I have lecorded against Gov. Moses iu tho sessions docket at Lancaster, viz: thut "he bus so prosti? tuted the pardoning power us to muke the administration of tho criminal law | a mockery of justice, und convert tbe| greut aeul of tue State into tbe symbol | of approved crime." If he bus grant- . ed twenty-eight pardons on my recom- i mendntiou us presidii g Judge, thut j only proves that he had a good aud j ! sufficient warrant for grunting twenty- j eight purdoua. It no more answers tbe charge thin if I hud licensed him of habitually uttering counterfeit notes! to a large amount, uud bo should re? ply, "I have uttered but forty-one I notes in your Circuit, und twenty eight of those were pronounced genu? ine by you before I put them iu circu? lation." Tho want of logical uud moral force in this answer would be still more manifest if it should appear that the twenty-eight unquestionably genuine notes were for one dollar each, while the remaining thirteen, to? gether with scores of others that be bad uttered elsewhere, were each of the denomination of $100, and tbat be put them in circulation, knowing them to be counterfeits. Punurge, the rased, doclared that be bad "forty different ways of making money, and the houestest is by petty theft." Gov. Moses has not yet announced whether the corrupt granting of pardons is re? garded by bim as the greatest or tbe least of tbe infamies which he has praotioed amid tbe vast variety of his crimes, proved aud provable T. J. MACKEY, Circuit Judge. "The pledges of reform by Govern? or Ames, of Mississippi," says the New York Sun, "were evidently very hollow." Yea, and it all comes of the fact that in makiug them bo took his own bead for a model. CiTT Matters.?Subsoribo for tho Phcbnix.

Harpers' Welknv.?The Richmond Dispatch thus spcuks of Harpers' Weekly: i "If there ever waa au nuscriipulou9, 1 malignant and bigoted journal iu this ! country, that journal is Harpers* j Weekly. It is uuequuled in the depth und utrority of its malignity. The I late Johu M. Daniel siylod the lirm of Harper Brothers the 'Harpies.' It ! was among the best of his sharp hits. Thoy are 'harpies,' iudeed. They have aouoyod aud stung their best supporters, and they invaded the fields of morals aud politics to despoil i sooiety and wreak there tho gratifica? tions so sweet to malice and viudic tiveuesB. If auytbiug can relieve Grant, nt least iu tho South, from the odium of oertain nominations, it will be tho assaults of the 'Harpies.' Against such assailants, we shall un? questionably stand by him." Roman Catholics, foreigners and Southoru men oannot readily forgive Harpers' Weekly for its beastly attacks { upon thorn. Subscribers?Obtain the latest news I by mail and by telegrnph in the Daily ! PiKESIX, The Predatory Mosquito ?On the balmy wings of starry night, by sum? mer breezes blown, there comes a voice uo ear can slight; a feathery monotone of awful portent. Whirring aronnd oar ears, tbe echoes of that godless sound awaken all our fears, and make us curse the summer night, with all its shadow of delight. All useless fall our blows to smash tbe sharp intruder, for when we smite, away he goes beyond our reach. Seclude ourselves as best we may, or to draw the netting close about us, tbe fiend is sure to find a fliw through which to bite, und root us from dreams that might be passing sweet, but for this guile aud base de? ceit. For in the silence of the room he stilly sits in waitiog. He peers athwurt. the lonely gloom, bis secret soul inflating with ghoulish'dreams of human blood. Ha waits to hear onr snoring; then goes for bis nocturnal food without delay. Exploring our prone bodies o'er and o'er, be revels in prospective gore. At last, with in? stinct snr6 as sin, he finds a nice blue vein, and rips his little dagger in and pulls it out again, until he gets his baggy paunch as full as it oan hold. And then he sits upon his hanneb and * chuckles. Gaily he then squirts some poison on tbe wound, the while his lul? laby? resound. The pang goes shoot? ing through our nerves, till, waking with a sen.se of pain, we seek tbe near? est thing tbat serves, and go for the predator. In vaiol Upon the distant obimney-pot be sits, serenely whetting bis gcry bayonet red hot for tbe next day's blood-letting, and gently croons uu artful chorus, to let us know he is going to bore us. Puxenixiana.?A croquet ballad: "If your foot is pretty show it." The tallest man is he who rises latest because he lays longest. A sound btomach will profit by what? ever un unspoiled palate enjoys. The hydrophobia season is at its height iu New York. Tbe papers head their death notices, " 'Bitunry." It is very plain that poor sleepers should pass as many hours as possible in the sunshine, und as few as possi? ble iu tbe shade. Iu consequence of the pains so numerous iu the infantile gas'rio re? gion the favorite song now is, "good? bye, sweet turt, good bye." A good man will, as much as possi? ble, strive to be ?haken out of himself, aud learn to study the exooilencies of persons aud parties to whom be is na? turally opposed. List of New Advertisements.

The Dummy Memheus of Congress. It is a curious fact that mauy of the names of men that huve recently been telegraphed to the press as renomi nuted to Congress are of persons who seldom if ever appear in the debates ou great measures in Congress. These men comprise the greater number of I members who are known as "dummy" j members, and figure only in tbe yea j and nay records of the House. Very fow of the whole number of the mem? bers of the Houso are working mem? bers, and these have all the legislation thrown upon them. The "dummies" live well, and have a good time gone rally. The New Order of Enoch, which Brigbam Young has instituted among the Mormons, may work hia downfall. The saints do not accept cordially its doctrine, which is to surrender all their goods into a oommon "pool," for the common benefit. The church is vexed, and labois unceasingly to goad the brethren up to the sacrificing point. The weaker and poorer of them are willing, hoping to gain more than they lose. But the wealthier brethren don't feel called upon to divide. Tbe oonsequence is cot ex? actly an open rnpture in the church, I but a very wide opening of eyes on the j part of many saints. Last week, several thousand dollars of the bonds of York County, issued in aid of tho Chester and Lenoir Rail? road Company, wero sold to citizens of Yorkville, at the rate of eighty cents on the dollar.
