The cid story of atern andunrdenting "parents" caused the sudden flight. The party went to Evansville, where arriving they repaired to the; American House, called for the smiling hosts of that famous hotel, and made known their troubles, which they desired turned into joys. Messrs. Tarns & ASHBV immediately "?et about" preparing matters for a wedding. Thc . Bsxyioes of the Rev.

The affair passed off pleasantly, and the happy couple passed the night at the American House. They recrossed the river again yesterday, going to Henderson tastend their honeymoon. The Now York Tribune has a very sensible artide upon the subject of "The Mystery of Mur? der," in the course of which it furnishes some verv startling facts. Amongst others is the statement that in the dty of Now York there were, during the y?r 1866, no. fewer-than seventy-one homi? cides and murders, without inoluding numerous cases of death by drowning or other means, where it was not clear whether or not the:e had been foul play. Only thirty-three persons were arrest-, ed for these crimes, and the records of the courts show only ?fteen convictions (several of which were for offences committed in a previous year), with nineteen prisoners still to be tried. That is io say, of the perpetrators of clear and unmis? takable homicides in New York more than fifty per cent, are not arrested, and nearly eighty per (est. are not perish od, - amma LARGEST CIRCULATION.-The DAILY NEWS publishes the Official List of Lee? ters remaining in the Postoffice at the end of each week, agreeably. to> ther- following section of the Kew Postofficc Law, as the newspaper having the largest circulation vi the City of Charleston: SECTION 5.

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 8, 1867. CITY TAXES. We yesterday spoke of the burden of Federal and Siate taxes, both of which have heretoforO been very light, and are now for the first time onerous. It is otherwise with the Municipal tax. This has always formed a considerable item in every town and city of the United States, and could not well bo otherwise from the nature of the case. * O ir cities ara so raniformly-anxious to walk before they have learned to creep, that hu e debts, out ol all proportion to their means, or ability to pay either principal or interest with ease, have been the rule. Take, for instance, our own city. Tho great bulk of the tax annually imposed and collected goeB to meet the interest of our debt; and this.debt, as is well known, was voluntardy and uselessly incurred by the lavish subscriptions to railroads North, South, East and West. Ill now see the uselessness, and the folly of such a policy; but it is now* too late. Tho money is due and must be paid; and real estate is taxed 1| per cent., and all other articles pro rata, in order to ! meet these annually returning contingencies. Whether or not our City Fathers have devined the wisest and most, equitable tax bill for our city this present year, we will not now atop to consider confident, as we feel, thatf they have done their best to produce such a result. They should prac? tice the strictest economy, compatible with an en? lightened policy. Wo do not advocate a dogged and niggardly opposition to all improvement*?; for many of these are necessary and yield more than a . quid pro quo,-it not in cash money, in that which is worth moro than, money. But our people being -poor, very poor, and om* city largely in debt, it certainly becomes thoao who control the public purse to keep a tight hold on its strings, and sec well, ere they relax their grasp, that an expendi? ture is absolutely necessary, and, moroovor, that they in ail cases receive a fair equivalent for tho money expended. For the benefit of those who would like to seo how our rate of taxation compares with tha t of other cities, we append the following corporativo statement from the Savannah Daily Newt and Herald; oi the 29th ult., which shows that*whilo the tax is heavier on some articles in Savannah, as a whole, tho burden is less than ours : Real estate-Charleston, 2 per cent.; Savannah, '?'ii per cont. Gross solos-Charleston, j per cent.; Savannah, 1 per cent. Auction Hales-Charlton, ?|.per cent.;'Savan? nah,.!, per cent. '?}?'..? Express Company gross recerpla-Charleston, 5 per cent.; Savannah, 1 per cent. - - - Coach or four-wheel carri iee, drawn by two horses, exclusivo of horses-Charleston, S3 per month, or $3? per annum; Savannat. , $?0 per an? num, inclusive*oi horses. Coach or four-wheel carriage, drawn by ono horse, exclusive of horse-Charleston, $2 per month* or $24 per - annum; Savannah, $20 per an? num, inclusive of horse.. Gross incomes-Charlesfxm, 3 per cent.; Savan? nah, 1 per cent. On value of bonds, mortgages, promissory notes, &o., located in the city or elsewhere, or whether interest is paid in the city or elsewhere-Charles? ton,.^ per cent.; Savannah, i per cent. All dividends not;exempt from taxadon-Charles? ton,' 3 per cent.; Savannah, ! per cen*. Dogs-Charleston, $2 each; .Savannah, $3 50, in? cluding city collar;.: Commercial, agencie?;, gross receipts-Cliarles? ton, 8 per cent.; Savannah, 1 per cent. On ail commissions derived from any source Charleston, S per cent. ; Savannah. 1 per cent. On all insurance companies' gross premiums Charleston, 2 per cent.; Savannah, 1 per cont., and license. $100. Onail gas and other manufacturing companies Charleston, S por cent.; Savannah,' 1 per cent., and license, $250. All horses and mules, except those us?d in li? censed carriages or other vehiole-Charleston, $1 per month, or $12 per annum; Savannah, $1 per month, or $12 per annum. - Capitation tax-Charleston, $2; Savannah, $1 por head. ; . - - / Hucksters-Charleston, $2.60 per month, or $80 per annum: Savannah, 310 per. annum. Barber shops-Charleston, $2.5J.' Gross receiots of all hotels, &o-Charleston. 1 per dont.; S a. vam ah, 1 per cent., and license, $100. Gross receipts of all livery stables-Charleston, I per cent.; Savannah, license, *50. Gross receipts of all cotton presses-Charleston, 2 per cent.; ~ Savannah, 1 per cent., and license, Gross receipts of ' aR printing. offices, i;e Charleston $ per cont.; SE.Yann ah, license, $25, Gross sales by non-residents, selling by samples or otherwise-Charleston, 8 per cent.; Savannah, Gross sales on all horses and mules brought io city-Charleston, 1 per cent.; Savannah, 1 per cent. Gross receipts of Telegraph Companies-Charlos ten. 1 per oent.; Savannah, nb tax. The above' would seem to show that we aro pay? ing a higher tax than our Mends at Savannah. Tuis. for tho following obvious'reasons: Wo have a large city debt, and hence need a heavy tax to provide for the regular payment of the interest. We bayo a large number of publie restitutions, all requiring considerable money. Our ci tv waa badly damaged, and calls for a large outlay for the pur? poses of restoration. There is, moreover, a vary large amount of non-tax paying property in the city, be? longing to sundry corporations, which again makes tho tax foll heavier upon the others who are not thus exempt, .. . " THE IATFEACHMEJ?T. There need be no better proof of the inherent weakness of the Radical party than the history of the impeachment question. Tho impeachment of the Preaident bogan to bo talked of soon after the return of Mr. JOHNSON from his Western tour lost fall. Irresponsible parties of the extra-fanatical stripe first took up the cry, such as tho provincial radical press, FORNEY'S two. pipers, and the rabid journals of tho Vient; but still it was not thought by the more soberrminded mon of the country that, in view of all tho serious, if not fatal consequences, such a step would almost inevitably boar in its train, that the parly, holding a majority in Con? gress, could be m earnest ?vith these threats. Gen. BUTLER, however, in that memorable harangue ho made in Brooklyn a few monthB since, set forth the full programme of the drama, and hs,d it oil pat Nothing was easier, nothing could bo sim? pler. The leading journals of every party havo uniformly discouraged it. It was left to the fanatics in and out of Congress. Early in the session, at a Radical caucus, ii; was determined, that no articles of impeachment should be presented in the House, unless they had been previously agreed upon in caucus. A day or two afterward. Mr. ASHLEY, offered a resolution that the Judiciary Committee of tho House bo in? structed to inquire, if any officer of tho Govern? ment had been guilty of high crimes or mis? demeanors. This resolution was adopted, and tho first step was thus taken. It is understood that the Committee have since been e-gaged taking evidence, with a view of preparing articles of im? peachment. The New York Herald, until then friendly to the Administration, and a bitter denouncer of tho Radicals and then* destructive policy, suddenly veered round about the time Mr. ASHLEY offered his resolution, and has in every issue since then had one or more leaders on this subject, tba object of which are to show th? neces? sity of the impeachment and removal of President .JOHNSON; that snob is tho will of the people; that there is nothing extraordinary in all this, that tho Constitution has provided thiB remedy, and that nothing need therefore be feared for the country at large; neither confusion, tumult, civil war, financial disaster or political complication. The Her.-ld, however, we believe, notwithstanding its diurnal exhortations, has not mado any converts. A groat many of tho staunchest Republicans, both politicians and journals, are still averse to the pro? ject. Tho Herald hos exhausted ldstory and fiction for parallols to sustain ita view. CHUL?S L, JAHES Ll., Louis XVI. and CHARLES X., have been repeatedly called on t:to point a moral." Evory articlo ends in tho same way; that it is the most simple and harmloas th ing in the world for the co-ordinate branches of the Govornraont to lock horns, and deliberately outer upon a lifo and death struggle. Truly fools ruBh in where angels fear to tread. From various indications we have had of late, both of a direct and an indirect character, in tho proceedings of Congress, we are led to the con? clusion that tho impeachment hangs fire; that the House is divided within itself; that some of tho foremost membors of the Radical Church entertain Bontimonts of a very unchristian character toward Bonio of their brethren. In short, they disagree, not to say thoy havo quarrolloi. Mr. STEVENS is u&id to bo in a terrible passion, because Congress will not swallow his Enabling and Territorial Bills, and his soYoral schemes cf redestruction. Wo are glad to obsorve this favorable sign. Tliero have boon several inst?rteos of late, when tho old party lines did not regulate the bailo. ; . when the voto was close, and determined by con? siderations entirely outside tho established Radi? cal rule'.* Howovor much, therefore, tho party in power may wish to impeach tho President, with a view to his suspension or removsl, it would seem that they aro alt cady despairing of success; and, if BO, of course their entire Boheme of reconstruction must fall wich it. They have all along confessed that failure in au attempt to impeach, must result in the failure of all their other porty schemes. It is, doubtless, with a conviction of thia fact, that tho Conservatives, both of the North and the South, have united with tho Administration in de? vising a now and more feasible plan of recon? struction. We gave the outlines of thi3 plan yes? terday, and sliaU now look with some anxiety for further developments. WANTS. A G BN TS WANTED FOR "THE HIS J-\.
