THE SCH?TZENFEST.
A GRAND GERMAN JUBILEE.
The Crowd-The Grounds-Scenes
Incidents.
Among all the people on this mundane
sphere, none more than the Germans have learn?
ed the art of making themselves multitudinously
happy. The Frenchman revels in his cafe and
claret, amid the attrition of a restless crowd. The
Englishman's frolic ls at a boat or a horse race.ana
is polished off with "arrn'arf" and "ros'blf." The
American is only happy on the jump; he lives at
break neck speed by day and by night; consoles
himself chiefly with an allegretto movement
of small talk, introduced spasmodically be?
tween the round dances or a social party,
where the balance of thc entertainment consists
of chicken salad a la Methuselah, fruit a la
Stumikak and jellies a la Kallarimorbus, followed
by d iabolical assaults on aplano forte, and wound
up after midnight with sundry drinks of water
weakened with imaginary brandy. Generally
speaking, our comfort ls artificial-taken in full
dress-a manufactured article composed of
starch, fuss and feathers. There is nothing spon?
taneous about lt, and its obituary notice is either
a headache or a chronic dyspepsia. Of holidays,
we have nothing worth mentioning. Even that
national burlesque on popular rejoicing, the
Fourth of July, what was it but an eruption of
banners and brass buttons-a competition be?
tween gunpowder and the noisy pyrotechnics of
the politicians.
Individually we may enjoy ourselves perhaps
as much as any people, because we are eminently
social by nature; but collectively, it ls the Ger?
mans, who, carrying their homogeneous charac?
ter into all the affairs of life, excel in the ability
to extract therefrom the most sensible of its
pleasures, and set us an example which we great?
ly admire, but unfortunately are slow to imitate.
It is a curious fact that they belong to abrace
which to-day preserves the distinctive features
by which it was marked afterior to the Christian
ero. The very name Ger signifies a spear or
lance; man, the lord'or chief, and it was a war?
like title of honor given by the ancient Romans to
distinguish the valor and manliness of the nation.
The Romans justly considered them os an abo?
riginal, pure and unmixed race of people. As
a historian observes: "They resemble themselves
alone, and like the specifically similar plants of
the field which, springing from a pure seed not
raised in the hot-bed of a garden, but germina?
ting in the healthy, free, unsheltered soil, do not
differ from each other by varieties, so also among
the thousands of the simple German race, there
was but one determined and equal form of body.
Their chest was wide and strong; their bair yel?
low, and with young children it was dazzling
white. Their skin was also white; their eyes blue
and their glance bold and piercing. Their gigan?
tic bodies, which the Romans and Gauls could
not behold without rear, displayed the strength
that Nature had given to this people; for, ac?
cording to the testimony or some of the an?
cient writers, their usual height was seven, feet.
From their earliest youth upward they hard?
ened their bodies by all devisable means, and the
cold bath was continued during their whole
lives as the strengthening renovator of both men
and women.
Their love of arms was assiduously cherished
that they might always be ready for any under?
taking, and, in time of war, those who remained
at home cultivated the land for all."
What Lycurgus wished to effect by means of
his legislation among the Spartans seems to
have been a principle and combining power
among the Germans, namely, a public spirit so
general and operative that the individual should
submit himself to the common good, and for
which and in which he should only live; and not
by selfishness, faction, or by Idleness, desire to
separate himself from the rest, or consider his
own weal as more Important than that of the
collective body.
Above all things the Germans loved the open
country. Tacitus says they selected their dwell?
ings wherever a grove or a spring attracted them.
Advantage and comfort were consequently fre?
quently sacrificed to their admiration of open and
-beautiful scenery, and lt is probable that even
now they so ardently love the Fatherland because
lt presents them with rural scenes with which life
and its tenderest associations have been identi?
fied. This strong love of nature is a grand fea?
ture or the German character, and as long as it
ls retained by any people, lt will preserve them
from that sensual en nervation and corruption of
manners into which the most eu; ti vated nations
of antiquity hopelessly sunk.
From time immemorial the German youth have
been trained to maury exercises, the use of arms
and the fatigues of (he hunt. History records
no people who possessed nobler capabilities and
qualifications, rule and order, a sublime patriot?
ism, fidelity and chastity In a greater proportion
than the race now disseminated throughout the
Kew World, and engaged In writing its Influences
upon the heart of the age in which we live.
It ls at the risk or being tedious that we have
gone backward to show how carefully Na?
ture has preserved to the present day the dis?
tinguishing characteristics of this sturdy peo?
ple. And wc see them illustrated all around
as; ta physique and feature; in thc customs
which they perpetuate; ia the manner in which
they have attached themselves to our soil and
Institutions; In their love of liberty without
license; in their industry, hospitality and public
spirit; in that solidity and strength which they
are grafting upon American society, and finally
In those rational amusements that unite one and
and all-in a true social bond, which for the time
bel?g ls magnetic, with Influences that
"Cheer the melancholy house of caro."
Among the chief of the German amusements
are their annual rests, and In the South, among
these rests, the principal is that of the Sch?tzen
clubs. It ls the mile stone in thc journey of the
year, around which the German wreathes his
dowers. In Charleston we all know how the
Sch?tzenfest has become an Institution-how, af?
ter the war, Us resumption was hailed with de?
light; how thousands of our citizens look forward
to the week when they and their ramilles may
find rest and pleasure in the congenial associa?
tions or the Schutzenplatz, and partake of its
gushing lager without the fear of cruel criticism;
or if they so preter
" Peep through the loopholes of retreat
A nd see the crowd, yet not feel the stir.''
THE PROCESSION.
The present occasion was no exception to the
rule which has been observed for the last four
years, unless, indeed,lt bein the fact that the
arrangements were, ir possible, more extensive
aud complete than ever before. The day was as
balmy, breezy and beautiful as Paradise could
spare for the enjoyment or mortals, and at an ear?
ly hoar the German population were astir. The
majority of their places of business were closed,
and buuting stretched across the streets or
waving from the housetops announced a general
holiday, at least to them. At c o'clock A. M. the
festival was announced by a salute of twelve guns
fired from the Citadel Green. Thereupon the
riflemen assembled at Lindstedt's Hall, their
headquarters, and an escort was sent for the lost
year's King-Mr. D. Goetjen. At 8 o'clock the
procession was formed with its right resting on
King st rcet, and soon after moved via King,
Broad, East Bay, Market and Meeting streets to
the South Carolina Railroad depot.
The formation of the procession was os rollows:
L The ten "target Jumpers."
2. Music by Muller's Band.
3. Guard of honor-12 riflemen.
4. The Carolina Ride duo, so strong, under com?
mand of the president, Theodore G. Barker, Esq.
6. Carriages containing honorary members of
the German Rifle Club.
6. The King, escorted by two of his predeces?
sors.
7. The Charleston Sch?tzenvercm.
8. A wagon, containing a dozen or more young
girls, attired in white, seated under a canopy of
flowers.
?. Teutonia Society.
10. Charleston Turnverein, 40 strong.
11. Harry Leslie and Miss Nichols (tight rope
performers) la a carriage.
12. Charleston Juvenile Turnverein.
13. A wagon, containing "theeagle" a
?ar prize target.
The column presented a very handsomi
ance, and the uniforms of the various
were especially attractive. The Carolii
which ls a social organization compos
number of our young men, appeared li
yesterday for the first time since the i
the uniform chosen is not unlike that
German friends, except that the hunting
of gray homespun Instead or green. On

yet not a single specimen of noisy intoxii
was visible to the naked eye. It should

cers or the club, that the steamer St. H
which was advertised to leave the city at ?
hours, ror the convenience or the public, w;
permitted to land at the neighboring wharf i
Pacific Guano Company, on the ground t
would interfere with their business. Persoi
siring to visit the place there, must resort <
to the railroad or the omnibuses.
THE GROUNDS.
To describe In detail the novel scenery pr?
ed to the eye of the stranger would bc almo;
possible. Passing down the lane arter lea vin
railroad, you enter an archway crowned
evergreens and banners. From this poin
spectacle is not less picturesque than beau
In the centre of the grounds stands the hug
flee devoted to Terpsichore, while on either
are booths decorated In every floral
ror the restive accommodation or the
pie. 'Flowers greet one everywhere,
which the eye wanders among *ha<
old trees and the group of childrei
play. There are swings, gymnastic appar
benches Tor a rural teu-a-iete, bowling alleys
all the concomitants or genuine pleasure. St)
or music entice you into the great hall, yt
scores or men, women and children are gil
through the mazes of the dance, with a Ger
vehemence that ls contagious. There are b
piazzas on both sides of the hall, and the
breezes from the distant stream lend theil
freshmen t to the place.
Passing beyond the edifice, we come to a
tage-llke residence over which waves the Ger
flag. On the present occasion lt has been y
ed to the purposes ol entertainment, and dev
to the use or tue ladles. On one side or
house, arrayed in a glass case, are the vat
prizes ror which the "greenbacks" yondei
contending, while In the rear are tables whlc
your order will be spread with the dainties ol
cuisine. To the right, and a hundred feet In
air, stretched between two tall pines, is
tight rope on which performs Mons. Marry

or great value. The utmost care ls employe*

uously, are rigidly enrorced. This booth or s
contains fourteen stalls, ten for the use of
club, and four for the use of the public. Tl
are likewise fourteen targets, each of whic
connected with Us corresponding stall by a T
and bell-pull. They are one hundred and si
yards distant, are about three reet square, i
have a bull's-eye three inches lu diame
When a rifleman has discharged his wea
he pulls thc bel! at his right hand. The r

patch is put upou thc place, another target me
while ascending to prevent delay, and so
work goes ou, a record ot the centre shots rr
each stall being kept by the officers. The cl
target, however, is in the shape or a huge spn
eagle, holding in each claw an Imaginary <
blem. This bird ls divided into eleven parts, et
of whick, is to bc shot away. The highest pt

AMUSEMENTS.
Next to the dancing and the bibulatlon o
muchness or beer and then more beer, the ero
round run in watching the antics or the youl
Sjters. Some or these attempted to climb a p
provokingly greasy, but with sufficient rewat
or merit at the top to induce restive ambition
dirty its clothes and strain tts sinews. A few b
eUckltg-plaster enough in their composition
"shinny" to the top, but the majority learn
"how not to do lt" with unctious rapidity.
Another source or run was a race between bo:
who were tied tn sacks and then set on end. T
result or this species or elastic rivalry was ln\
rlably a rall, a roil, and promiscuous violence
their reelings.
Likewise, sundry little Ethiopians essayed
pick nve cent pieces rrom the bottom or bov
filled with molasses, showing races when th
emerged from their saccharine baptism that loo
cl very much like polished mahogany. Tin
there were races between boys armed each wi
a spoon and hall a pint or brown sugar. The
efforts at deglutition wcro frightful, half a doll
being offered to the little gourmand who wou
gobble up lils pile first.
At four o'clock Miss Nichols made lier appea
ance on a stage erected for the purpose, and pc
formed very gracefully and well on a slack wi
not more than a quarter of an Inch thick. Son
or her reats were perrormed whUe she was blln
folded, and excited no little wonder and admir
tlon.
Later, Harry Leslie appeared In tights an
spangles, mounted his rope, walked back wan
and forwards, a distance of say two hundred ree
and then exhibited gymnastically in a mann?
extremely terrifying to aU respectable nerves.
So the day wore on, every minute full or enjoj
ment to somebody. The chUdren had their swing
and games, or saw beautirul balloons sent up in th
air; thc old rolks hob-nobbed together around th
refreshment tables; the beaux danced to the verg
or apoplexy, and the belles were like ?labor?t
verses going through the poetry ot motloi
Everybody happy.
Similar scenes will be repeated to-day, and t
our citizens, one and all, we say, go-but pre
cure your tickets from some member of the com
mlttee before starttng. Three or Tour hour
may be most agreeably spent among these joli,
Germans.
THE BANK OE THE STATE.
An Important Decision.
On Saturday Judge Carpenter rendered hfg
decision in the case ot Dabney, Morgan A Ce. vs.
the President and Directors of the Bank of the
State, Baring Bros. et al. This was an action
brought on behalf of the holders of the biUs is?
sued by the bank to be preferred in the distribu?
tion of its assets. The question at issue was the
force and effect or the charter of the bank ratified
in 1812, and the force and effect of the act or 1838,
being an act to rebuild the City or Charleston, un?
der which $2,000,000 of bonds and stocks were is?
sued hy the State and guaranteed by the bank,
part of which was negotiated In England, and the
remainder in this country, lt was contended that
whatever prior lien billholders may have had
under the charter, the act of 1838 gave a specific
lien to the holders or the Fire Loan bonds and
stockB in preference to all other creditors: by the
counsel for Baring Brothers lc was claimed that
thc bondholders were preferred over the stock?
holders. The case was argued by A. G. Magrath,
Esq.,vfln the part of the billholders, by Messrs.
Hayne & Campbell on the part of the Fire Loan
bondholders, and by Messrs. H. Buist and T. Y.
Simons on behalf of the Fire Loau stockholders.
Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, attorneyrgeneral, repre?
sented thc Interesfcor the stile.
Judge Carpenter's opinion in the case Is very
lengthly and elaborate. In lt he holds that the
Fire Loan bondholders and stockholders are on
an equality In respect to their ?rights, and that
they have a prior lien upon the assets or the
bank; that the billholders aud other creditors or
the bank are entitled to share rateably in the resi?
due; and that for any deficiency, the creditors
have an equitable claim against thc State. That
the State, as sole stockholder, having withdrawn
from tlieTjank more than the principal and In?
terest of the entire amount of the loan, ls, in equi?
ty, bound to secure the unsecured creditors from
loss. The rollowlng ls the Judge's decree:
Ordered. That this case be referred to the Hon.
B. F. Dunkin, as special referee, and that he call

or the bills redeemed by the Issue or bonds. And
lt ls runtier ordered that the said special referee
tax the costs or this suit, and report to this court

THE ROOMS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE. -The
Columbia Phoenix, in an editorial article, has the
following graceful paragraph about the rooms or
the Charleston Board or Trade: "No one who
visits these rooms can fail to be impressed with
their elegant appearance and complete accompa?
niments. Here the members of the Board or
Trade, and of the club therewith connected, meet
for business, or reading, or conversation, or so?
cial eujoyment; and here the courtesies of the
city are kindly and freely tendered to strangers
visiting the city on missions of business or recrea?
tion. It is one of those institutions that reflect
the tone, the hospitality and the social spirit of
the citizens of Charleston."
