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.

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.

.a?ilhren?ember that by advertisement in

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.
