soap and shave it In thin slices; add two
ounces of borax, and two quarts of cold
water; stir all together in stone or
earthen jar, and let it stand upon the

Of yesterday, THAT OF the forty-oue
pRrdons and commutatious granted to
persons convicted in Judge Mackey's
Gin cult, twenty-eight wero granre.l on
the written application of Judge
Mackey himself" Presuming this
statement to BIZ true, il does not meet

Gov. Moses IN the eessions docket at
Lancaster, viz: thut she has SO prosti.
tuted the pardoning power as TO make
the administration OF the criminai law
mockery Of justice, aud convert the
great seal OF the Sta;e into the symbol
of approved crime" If he has grant
ed twenty-eight pardons on my recon

only proves that he had good and
sufficient warrant for granting twenty
eight pardons. It no more answers
the charge than if had accused him

to large amount, aud he should re-
ply, II have uttered but forty-ope
notes in .your Circuit, and twenty
eight Of those were pronounced genu.
inc by you before 1 put them III clrcu-
lAtion." The want of logical and
moral force in this answer would be
still more manifest if it should appear
that the twenty-elght unquestionably
genuine notes were for one dollar
each, while the remaining thirteen, to-
gethar with scores Of others that he
had uttered elsewhere, were each of
the denomination of $780, aud thnt
he put them in circulation, knowing
them to be counterfeits. Panurge,
the rascal, declared that he had "forty
different ways of making money, and
the honestest is by petty theft" Gov.
Moses has not yet announced whether
the corrupt granting of pardons is re-
garded by him as the greatest or the
least of the infamies which he has
praotioed amid the vast variety Of his
crimes, proved and provable.

THE DUMMY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS-.
It is curious fact that many of the
names of men that have recently been
telegraphed to the press as renomi-
mated to Congress are of persons who
seldom if ever appear in the debates
on great measures in Congress. These
men comprise the greater number of
members who are known as dummy"
members, and figure only in the yea
and nay records of the House. Very
few Of the whole number of the mem
bers OF the House are working mem
bers. and these have oil the legislation
thrown upon them. The dummies"
live well, and have good time gene
rally.
The New Order OF Enoch. which
Brigham Young has instituted among
the Mormons. may work his downfall.
The saints do not accept cordially its
doctrine. which is to surrender all
their goods into common "pool." for
the common benefit. The church is
vexed, and labols increasingly 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. The consequence is not ex-
actly an open rupture in the church,
but very wide opening OF eyes on the
part OF many saints.

INFORMAL ReRtstration OF Voters.
The current opinions about the rela-
tive proportions of the Radical and
Conservative voters, and of the black
and white voters OF South Carolina, are
evidently wide of the mark. It is time
that this popular error was exploded.
1t has been admitted to be such by the
Port Royal Commercial. It scouts the
idea OF 30, 900, and doubts whether the
Radicals can show more than Is. 600
majority. It is important that the
exact status Of the vote shall be ascer.
tanned. It was the duty of the last
Legislature to have ordered registra.
zion of voters-a duty they we're care.

fol to omit. The omission may be
supplied, partially, by o little activity
anddndustry among the Tax Unions.
In.every Union, some one ought TO be
designated 10 ascertain the number Of
the legally qualified voting population
OF the precinct. Such information
will be needed and will be particularly
available against the corrupt practice
OF repeating and other forms OF fraudu.
lent voting. This duty on the part of
the Unions should not be overlooked
or neglected. It will be we'll to begin
it IN time. In view of the conse.
quences which hinge upon it. we have
thought it proper to repeat the sug.
gesti ons made month or more ago.
No mandan,us yet. tt is said that
the Judges have filed. cacb. his own
opinion. Under these circumsts noes,
it may be unusually difficult to reach q
decision. Perhaps. also. the expressed
purpose of Treasurer Cardozo to re.
fuse to issue the certificates, unless the
Supreme Court of the United States
prononness then 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 the Republican Printing
Company, and they were issued in
part for claim not valid, for work
which has not yet been done. This
looks like Inconsistency. But the
course now proposed to be pursued by
the Treasurer is better than the one
fret taken. If the m1ndamas is or
dered. and he does not obey it. it is
said again that his mettle will be tried
by impeachment.
