But Eng AVet?"of th* TaxM Expectedf Governor Chamberlain left for Massa? chusetts laut evening, whither he goes to attend th* oedienajal annivetiJar* of the battle M Lexington. His engagements have prevented hi* stoterucni in Writing of thtjobjeotipna he entertains tothe tax bill; but he is open in saying that he cannot approve it. Regretting very much if any inconvenience should thereby result to parties, he' will, in a hlhtfrt^hfle, as we understand,' gtve'W the public his reasons for withholding I his oasent to the bill. By-the-way, we don't ~ think there can be much lUcon |s*J9sence from it to any one. A proper j ?*' bill can very easily bo passed early in the next session. There need be but little delay in the collections from delay in fixing what the tax shall be. This lost, is n matter of vital consequence to the people. It ought to be considered with efery care. What in necessary and I proper they are willing to pay; but they | demand, and have a right to demand, that it shall be no higher than that. We have already, however, sufficiently indi? cated reasons why the present bill should come to grief. A veto applied to it brings up the whole question of taxation for discussion and consideration by tho country and for determination by the Geaoral Assembly, at the next session, nndor circumstances favorable to a satisfactory result. If wa havo really entered upon reform, it will appear dis? tinctly and prominently in the shape of ] iiipiijsiaU) taxes; and in such use of tax ky as will be of advantage to the interests. We and no little ion in commending the *nntici action of Governor Chamberlain this matter. The Orphan*' Fair. To the Editor, or tub Phoenix: The young people connected with the recent fair given for the benefit of the Palmetto Orphans' Home, return manifold and sin oere thanks to all the benevolent ladies and gentlemen?too large in number to ?numerate individually?who assisted them so ably and j generously in their work. They desire especially to express their obligations to the firm of Kingsland A Heath, Messrs. W. B. Stanley and H. Solomon, for numerous asm of kindness and courtesy; and also to express their grateful acknowledgments to the mem? bers of the Post Band, who bestowed their service* gratuitously, and whose beautiful music added greatly to the pleasure and brilliancy of the occasion. ! Nor would thev fail to testify their high j appreciation of" kindness received at the I hands of the Daily PBomrx and Union ' Herald. The success of the undertaking I has proved far beyond the most sanguine i expectations of the management, and af 1 fords them much gratification. And it ? will, no doubt, be a nlseeing reflection to all who participated in this delightful entertainment, that they have assisted im relieving the wants of those in misfor? tune and conferred happiness on many j grateful hearts. Omca of Clerk or the Senate, Columbia, S. C, April 14, 1875. Editob Phqinix: Please allow me to say that none of Mr. Whittemore's per? sonal expenses, nor any of the items mentioned in yonr issue of Tuesday, 13th insu, were paid from the contingent fund of the Senate. Very respectfully, J. WOODRUFF, Clerk of Senate. Shocking Casualty.?The Charleston Xetcs and Courier gives the following account of a terrible accident in that harbor, on the 13th?the wrecking of the yacht Ella Anna: Capt. Relyea, who commanded the Ella Anno, states that the yacht left her i pier at half-past 6 o'clock, having been chartered by a party of excursionists for a fishing excursion to the Housatonic buoy, off the bar. The party consisted of Mr. W. V. Sarvis, Mr. Adolph Davis, Mr. James Leahy, Mr. A. W. Adams and Master John K. Enslow, the youngest son of Mr. J. A. Enslow, of this city. The crew of the boat consisted of Capt. Relyea and a young lad named Oilman Burke, a son of Capt Wm. Burke, a well known pilot of this city. The day was fair and pleasant, and, after spending several hours at the Housatonic buoy, the yacht, about 1 o'olock, sailed on her homeward voyage. By this time the breeze had freshened and n reef was j taken in the sail. About fifteen minutes past 2 o'clock, when about 800 yards from Bowman's jetty, . on ftulli van's Island, the captain put bis helm down and attempted to put his vessel in stayB, in other words, to wear ship. The yacht, however, refused to obev ber helm, missed her stays, and Was brought up in the wind, at which momenta flan struck her. Her gunwales wsre forced under by the flaw, and in a few moments she Sunk ih fifteen fathoms of water. The occupants were, of course, left strug? gling in the sea, and in the confusion, that ensued, four of them were either swept out to sea or drowned. The acci? dent was witnessed by Pilot Boat No. 0, which w as at that time standing off Cum? mins' Point, and Capi Corker immedi? ately came to the rescue. Capt Relyea and Mr. A. W. Adams were picked up and brought to the city. In the mean? time, one of the workers on the grillage, who had also observed tho accident, shoved off in a yawl boat, which was anohored to the beach, and arrived in time to pick up Mr. Sarvis and Mr. Leahy. The former was insensible when '?ft *e? too ill, howevst, to odmo b> the dty.^'wralng whatever was ieen Of the remaining four persons who had been occupants of the yacht, and the supposi? tion Is that they were either drowned or ?wept out to sea. -1? A letter from a lady in Spartanburg athat, on Friday.of last week, an lake was distinctly fait at night, to awakening people from their ?lumbers, nine miles aoove Spartanburg Court House.

Mr. Hendrix desires to rent his well known "House." An excellent business can be done thereby an energetic ma nager. W. W. Corcoran, Esq., the celebrated banker and philanthropist, of Washing ton City, arrived at the Wheeler House, yesterday. The Building Committee of the Wash? ington Street Church have decfided to dedicate that building to the service of God early in the flowery month. The bridge at the corner opposite Mr Sy miner's store is in a dangerous condi? tion?a steamer passed over it, a few nights ago, and it was squashed. It is expected that Miss Anna Dickin? son will deliver another lecture in this city, on Thursday evening next. She will, doubtless, have an immense audi? ence. Messrs. Raker and Farron, who are said to be capital comedians, with a first class company from the New Orleaus Academy of Music, appear at the Opera House, next week. While running with the Independent steamer, yesterday evening, Mr. John Hartnip came near being run over. He paled. Several similar slips of this kind have occurred. Be careful, boys. Mr. P. P. Beard, of the Ktrshaic (fa zettt, is in the oity, engaged in getting up an advertising directory for his papei - which circulates extensively through that County. Among the Gubernatorial changes, yesterday, was the removal of General J. B. Dennis as Superintendent of the Pen? itentiary and the appointment of Col. T. W. Parmale to the position. Misses Coy Yonraans, Hessin Kiuard. Fannie Wright and Frankie H?ge waited upon Dr. J. W. Parker, President of the Palmetto Orphan Home, and turned over to him the handsome sum of $443.50, as the net proceeds of the recent fair, inaugurated by the young ladies. Feeling the need of a lecture room for the Presbyterian Church, some of the members have determined to make an effort to obtain one. All the lady mem? bers of the congregation are invited to meet at the church to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, at 5 o'clock, to discuss th means of raising the funds. Newspapzb Pap.?The Louisiana Le? gislature, at the last session, appropri? ated $200,000 of the people's money to support Radical newspapers. Of this. $135,000 went to the New Orleans Re? publican, which is making war on the best individual and material interests of the people, and the general prosperity of the State. The balance, $35,000, was voted to Coi^nty Radical organs, to keep the breath of a sickly and corrupt life from dying out of them. > <f Dr. Jackson's New Location.- - Dr. E. E. Jackson, of Plain street fame, has taken up his quarters in one of the new stores under tho Southern Life Insur? ance building. It is fitted up in very tasty style, with walnut eases, etc. Everything looks in tip-top order, and there are private rooms in the rear where the doctor can administer a dose of salts or breathe a vein in short order. W< are highly gratified at being able to re? cord this positive evidence of the pros? perity of our pill-rolling friend. CONOABKK MaNUPACTUBINO COMPANY. At a meeting of the Board of Directors | of the CongareeManufacturing Company, held last evening, at the office of Messrs. Seibels A Ezell, the following resolutions ] were adopted; ?.4 Resolved, That a committee of three bo appointed by the President, to solicit subscriptions to tho eagital stock of tho Congaree Manufacturi nft Company. Rholvtd, That book* of subscription to the capital stock of this company be opened at the office of Seibels A Ezell and at'the Union Savings Rank, in the oity of Columbia?the , subscriptions to be payable as follows: Ten per cent, on the call of tho Board of Directors, and the balance in installments of ten per oent an the work of building progresses, the first installment not to bo called for until at least $100,000 shall have been subscribed. In oaoo*daue? with the above resolu? tions, the President appointed the fol? lowing gentlemen as the committee to solfci} subscriptions: John B Palmer, i$ C. Seegers, Esq., R. D. Scnn. A large amount of stock has already boon, pledged, and there is no doubt that the project will be successfully car? ried out. List or Naw ABVxjrrrjuutKKTt. Great Bargains at Solomon's. Meeting Columbia Lodge. Hendrix House for Bant. . j?ECKNCY VS. It.'lUtCKNCY.?Our renders .a?ilhren?ember that by advertisement in lE&MfpM and flaming show bill*, the aMPg Of Madame Rentz's foniai*' min ?BVSaS and Parisian can-can dancers won pSfnlded; and tlicy will remember that Mtftydllg them by an exhibition of ? ?PfcyPf character that had just previously visited onr city, we denounced them as highly immoral, and counseled the city authorities to refuse licenses to such troupes. Well, tho troupe came, they were duly licensed, they attracted n stag crowd, they performed, and then de? parted. As we predicted, the exhibition was unsatisfactory. Those who were at? tracted with the expectation of seoing something, departed disappointed. Nevertheless, the intention on the part of the troupo to satisfy the audience was ! indicated by the tentidising manner in which "the females manipulated their scanty apparel, in face of these facts, I 1lie< Ifn 16?-lief aid tame out next day, und j uooke its terms o( commendation of this I immoral exhibition, and had no eyes to see wherein it was to be condemned. We expressed our opinion of the can-can previous to its appearance, and the fact that no lady was to be seen in the audience is the best evidence of a coin cidonce of views on the part of the citi? zens, both by those who were present and those who were absent. And now comes two entertainments in one evening ?Miss Anna DicinHon's lecture on Jean D'Arc and Tim. Morris' minstrels. We presume the can-can editor of the Union Herald attended both, and, true to his instincts, he sees in the minstrels "a real jolly performance," and regrets his want of '-space or time to make an ex? tended notice of the performance." He also says "a pleasant evening will he passed by all who visit Parker's Hall this evening," when "we hope to see it crowded." A minstrel company which indulges in questionable antic* tuid cracks smutty jokes Seems to be his forte, and can-can dancers his delight. Miss Dickinson gives an intellectual en? tertainment, which is listened to and appreciated by husband and wife, father and daughter, brother and sister, beau aud sweetheart, and this can-can editor is disappointed hi cans- Miss Dickinson delivers lier lecture in respectable attire. He regrets that the leetureas endeavors to please by her oratorical powers, rather than by her scanty dress and e-i|>osnre of person, lie admits her to be "a hand? some young lady," but thinks she should have left her ladyhood at her rooms, and brought the can-can on the stage. Ho wants a "gushing, lovely, palpitating darling to flirt with"- we suppose aftor the oan-cnu is danced. Every one to his taste; but we can assure the can-can-min? st rod editor of the Union-HeraUl that his gushing notices of lovely and palpitating darlings would find a more congenial reception from the patrons of the flashy pictorials of other latitudes than from a Columbia reading public.
