The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1872-08-09

Mr.. EDITOR: [ have reud your elito-
rial in the PHOENIX, of the 4th instant,
with great interest. The time for action
on the part of the taxpayers has arrived.
Everything, yoN soy, is ''propitious, -
and I believe the taxpayers will sub
scribe generously. Let the Executive
Committee OF the Tax-Payers' Conven-
tion meet and appoint suitable commit
tees in each County to make collections,
and the funds to conduct the prosecu-
ton will not be wanting. The mer-
chants in Charleston, Columbia and oil
over the State will respond generously.
They are, perhaps, moro interested than
any other class Of taxpayers, subject, US
they are, to an unconstitutional and in
famous license law. The time for action
has come. Longer delay will be playing
into the hands of the ring, who have en-.
riched themselves ut the expense Of the
Taxpayers.
Legal investigation will show how
much OF the million expended in cash
and pay certificates for the last legsla-
tive session was used fraudulently to
prevent impeachment. It will give a
few inmates to the penitentinry, block
the game of the ring in levying tax to
pay interest on the bonds issued ile-
gally, by prohibiting the State Auditor
from levying the tax. and last. though
not least. spoil the little game of Messrs
Parker, Neagle & Co., so we'll exposed in
the PHOENIX. aud prevent them adding a
few millions of the peoples money to
their hourds. TAXPAYER.

Election Notes

KANsAs.-The tidal wave is still dew ssta. ng
Kansas. Four Greeley papers have been SIS
Tended since the election.
WIsCONsIN.-Otiicisl returns from all but
three counties, and close estimates from these,
give Grant and Wilson majority of 1873.
ABKANsAs.-The republicans claim the cleo
ton OF Baxter and their state ticket by major
titles ranging from 600 to 5000. The prospects
are that the candidates of both parties will iu-
sist on being inaugurated.
MICHIGAN.-In the next Michigan Senate
there will be but one democrat. and in the
House but four Rochester Chronicle. Please
don't mention ii; the five gentlemen already feel
a. bad as they can Detroit Free Press.
Northumberland returns are in from all
the counties except johnson I'm the l0.h con
gressIOnal district OF Kentucky, which p ace
John ID. Young thus far 365 votes ahead. This
secures his election ani an unbrOken democratic
congressional delegation.
KssER.-Advices from Tennessee repre-
sent that the control OF the legislature OF that
state will be in the hands of the straight John
son men, who hold the balance OF power be-
tween very nearly equal parties. FoTty-seven
OF the seyenty-nye representatives are republi-
cans. The most important business OF the ses-
sion will be the redistricting of the state for
members of Congress, in which the democratic
gerrymandering of last year will be rectifed.
MARYLASD.-The official returns of the Pres
idential election and the vote for Congressman
in Maryland, on the 9Th of November, have
been received. The majority for MIR. Greeley Is
ciphered down to 927, which, the Baltimore Sun
says, is probably about as low as it can well be
placed, not to give it to the republicans. The
oHcial returns OIL the vote Tor congressman
show very few changes. In the vote of the 1st,
3d. 4th and 5th districts, the figures heretofore
published are unchanged by the Off cial count.
In the I'd district Archer's majority is reduced
from 800 to 2SS, and in the 9Th district Lowndes
majority lie slightly reduced.
lLLIsoIs.-Totsl vote of Illinois, l,056;
Grants majority, 56,llS. The vote for Cover
nor was as follows: For Richard j. Oglesby,
republican, 232, 42O; for Gustsvus Koerner,
democrat 1856, 1876; total vote, ASS ,4l6 Oglesbys
majority, II ,424. 1t will be seen that although
Grants majority is Is ,29i more than Oglesby's,
yet Oglesby's aggregate vote is only 1867 less
than Grants. There were, therefore, IL $50
democrats in the state who refused to seat
crow" and yet voted the democratic state
ticket Representatives in Congress from Illi-
nois, with their official majOrities, are: LIST dis

A Louisville Merchant Missing I'm
New York,

PROBABLE MURDER AND ROBBERY.
Mr.. George NJ. Peoy, wealthy merchant of
Louisville, Kentucky, temporarily residing i'm
New York, has been missing since THURSDAY
morning, the 18th instant. Mr.. Peoy is the
nephew of Hon. James Speed, Of Kentucky who
was attorney general under President Lincoln's
administration. The missing man had been en-
gagged in the insurance business in Louisville
but having determined to change his business
he went to New York, with a large amount of
money, and stopped at the Brandreth House
on the corner of Canal street and Broadway
but few days afterwards changed his quarters
TO the st. Nicholas. He was well acquainted
with Mr.. Martini the night clerk at the Brand
reth House, and frequently spent his evenings
there. On the night mentioned Mr.. Martin
parted with him at the door OF the Brand
reth House, where he spent the evening, at
haif-past two O'Clock IN the morning. Mr.
Ieoy has not been seen since, nor have the
Police been able TO find any trace of him
Heis known to have had on his person at the
time 5000, which he drew q few DAYS before
his disappearance, from the Nassau and Ma
tonal Bank OF Brooklyn, and it is thought
much larger amount, as he lad made no DEPOSITS
while in New York. He also wore in his shirt
TWO handsome pearls, valued at 800. The
money Mr.. Peoy drew was given to him in
one thousand dollar bill, four I've hundred dol
lar bills, four one hundred dollar bills and s'N
MY doHar bills. he Is represented a quiet
gentleman, happy IN all his family and social
relations, with an ample for ,dne of his own and
his wife also having fortune in her own right:
ana 1t is rot therefore supposed that his dsap-
pearance Is Intentional, or of his own will. He
was armed at the time with bowie knife and a
Derrnger pistol. He was over six feet and
heavily built, from which Ii is concluded that
he was met on the street by parties who had
been watching him and knew he had money
engaged IN conversation, piniOned and chioro-
formed, and after being murdered and robbed,
loaded with lead, and sunk in the river. His
brother, from Louisville, in answer TO a dis.
patch, has arrived in New York, and, in con-
Junction with the police, is making every effort
to solve the mystery.
