ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A YOUNG LADY.

ALLEGED ABDUCTION OF A YOUNG LADY
This morning, at quarter past one o'clock
Mrs Kelly, OF No. 119 Greenwich avenue,
calle4 at the Central Office in Mulberry street,
in state Of great alarm, and stated that she
was afraid that her daughter, Miss Mary Ann
Kiley, had been forciDly abducted for purposes
of q nature she feared even to contemplate.
The circumstances attending the alleged crime,
as narrated by her, are that her daughter has
been employed Tor six months past in the Win
ter Garden Palace, No CIT Broadway, and for
night or two during the present week she
has been troubled by the attentions of man
who gave his name as Harvey Beckwith, but
she had not countenanced him in any particu-
lar. Last night about half-past ten o clock,
the hour that the ladies in the store used to
leave for homo, q carriage drove up to the
door, in which MIR. BeckWth was, and after
urgent solicitation she, in company with Il COM
panion, Miss Nellie Stewart, working in the
same place. entered it ostersibiy to be driven
to her home. The carriage called at the house,
but the ladies did not get out, and Mrs kel-
ly's attention was directed to the fact from
her window by hearing her daughter scream
fearfuliy and cry, ooh, mother, come down
and get ne out of the carriage!" She, wish
Ing 10 rescue ner daugnler, TuSneu violently
down stairs to aid her, but before the carriage
could be reached it was driven away at great
speed, with both ladies therein. Nothing could
be seen of it 4 moment afterwards, although
vigiIant search was made Inspector Leonard
at this hour directed the night operator to tele-
graph to every portion of the city and Brooklyn
the few facts relative to the alleged abduction
then obtained, and it is hoped that the arrest
of Beckwith and Miss Kelly's rescue may have
been effected before this. Miss Kelly is re-
presented as young lady Of handsome appear
ance, intelligent, and of character that can
not be assailed. The condition ofMrs. Kelly,
when giving the few particulars she was ena-
bed to obtain about this rather singular case,
was sad indeed There was no one called at
headquarters up to two o'clock this morning

a few days ago we published a statement
that the president of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad Company had
notified the Treasurer Of the State of Delaware
Of his refusal to pay the tax levied by the act
OF said State on the transportation Of passen-
gers. This refusal is evidently bottomed on the
ground of its unconstitutionality. We find that
the Supreme Court of the U. s. passed upon
this question at the last term, in the case OF
Crandal VS. the State of Nevada. The opinion
OF the Court given in that case was, THAT tax
imposed by State for entering its territories
or harbors is inconsistent with the rights which
beloeg to citizens of other States as members
of the Union, and with the objects which that
Union was intended to attain Such power
10 the States could produce nothing but dis
cord and mutual irritation, and they very clear

TAXES ON WHIsKEY IN RICHMOND. IN early
ten thousand dollars was paid at the office of
the Collector of Internal Revenue for this dis
trict on Saturday, as tax on whiskcy manufac-
tured in this city AID its vicinity within the
past week. Mr.. Andrew j. ByrDe paid ST, 342
on two hundred and fifty barrels manufactured
by him last week. IL addition to this, one
fifth of the amount paid weekly is required to
be paid at the end of each month. The total
amount of taxes per week on whiskey manu-
featured in Richmond and vicinity is about
$4,000, which, with the addition of one-ffth
of this amount paid monthly, will make the
internal revenue for whiskey upwards OF fifty
thousand dollars per month. -Rsch. Examiner.

JETER PHILLlrs-HIs New HOPE-HIs
CoNvERs1oN.-As predicted in our issue of
yesterday, Jeter Phillips's counsel on yes
terday applied to the Governor to respite
him until the question of the status of the
Virginia judiciary, agitated by the habeas
corpus cases of Caesar Griffin and Sally An
derson, shall have been settled. The Co.
werner denied the petition on the ground
that it was impossible to tell how long
o time may elapse before the question
referred to is settled. He intimated, how
ever, that he weuld respite the condemned
man if Judge Underwood awarded o writ
of habedS corpus in the case.
Last night Jeter Phillips made en- affi-
dayit setting forth that he is illegally re-
strained by the sheriff of Henrico county,
two of the judges of the Court of Appeals
which affirmed the sentence Of Judge Chris
tian's court being expressly disqualified by
the provisions of the third section of the
fourteenth amendment to the Constitution
of the United States. He therefore claims
an immediate discharge. One Of his coun-
sci left the city last night to lay the affi-
davit and petition before Judge Under
wood, who is now in Alexandria. The
result will probably be known tonight.
In this connection it may be stated that
Phillips has recently profcssed conversion,
and has applied to minister of the gospel
to be baptized.
