Stray Shots ni the Ri flo mc rt-Turret Practice by thc Ladle?- Bistrlbutlon of Prizes by Captain Melcher*. There was A o abatement of fun, interest or crowd. Indeed, the week seems, hy common con? sent, to be giren np to recreation, and between one and five o'clock every dav the shell road, Unod with vehicles, and the fastest horses thc olty affords, presents a processional aspect that charmingly contrasts with the monotony of ordi? nary travel upon lt. At Brated intervals thc cars came and went, discharging their living frelghr, and talcing In those homeward bound, and be? tween footmen, cav alies and carriages, thc sur? roundings wore an aspect decidedly gay and festive. If the Immense throng within the grounds did not enjoy themselves, it certainly was no fault of thc ever-thoughtful Germans. The Committee on Amusements were untiring In their efforts to please, and at proper Intervals trotted out bri? gades of little urchins, who, for a consideration, were made to go through with antics that tickled thc diaphragms of spectators. Individual mem? bers of the Ride Club likewise exerted themselves to promote thc object of the festival, namely, en? tertainment, and all present were made to real? ise the freedom or the place, the absence or -, re? straint, and the hearty purposes of the occasion. ir the visitor loved muslo, he found gratifica? tion tn listening to the strains of Muller's Baad: dancing, he could enjoy with true Teutonic vim in the great hall; panoramic views of the peripa? tetic humanity thronging the grounds, ha could secure from the broad piazzas; quiet, he could ob? tain la the shady re?usses of the old oak groves; natural history, he could study among the mon? keys and trained mice; tcte-a-tetes and perambu? lating flirtatious were but natural outgrowths of | the scene: sandbars in the throat were washed away by ever-flowing streams of lager; and of I eating, there was so end-the only drawback being that Nature did not create man with a tast? ing apparatus extending from his head to his heels. To those Interested in marksmanship, the tar? get exeroises were naturally the chief attraction, and the shots Indicated a degree of skill on the part of a majority of the olub, which proves that the German of to-day has m no wise lost the art or his fathers. Peeping Into the shooting shed (for only mem? bers of the Sch?tzen verein are almltted there,) yon are struck by tho order which prevails and the system by which each bullet's work is record? ed against the name ot the person by whom lt was fired. You see big rifles and little rifles-rifles hoary with antiquity, with old-fashioned stocks and bar? rels; rifles bright with polish, and fresh from the hands of Happoldt, our Charleston gun maker; rifles with bores as big ai your thumb, or no big? ger than a good sized pea; and you see too the Jolliest, best natured, biggest hearted Germans tn Charleston-true types of thc Fatherland,and true I I representatives of our most valued adopted oltl- j I zens. Yonder, for Instance, ls Torck, the heavy breasted, ronnd-bodled restaurateur, who makes a practice every year -of shooting out "bull's j I eyes" and carrying away crowns. Whether he 11 holds a majority or moral sunshine or lager under [ hts shirt buttons, ls a point that has never beea j I determined. There also ls Happoldt,.a keon, grey-eyed man, slim, trim and athletic-a fine representative of the men who are bnUding our fortunes, and yet j preserve unohanged the traditions of their own ( people-a sharpshooter la the A No. 1 ranks of the l German Club. Next appears Mclohers, the president or the club, fair haired, ruddy faced and Teuton shaped he who has a kind word for all, and is at home 11 equally In dispensing the hospitalities or thc Sch?tzen verein or watching the inscrutable ways j f or Providence amid the dispensations or every? day life-a first-class citizen, full or oonhommie, md alive with thc duties or his position. Then, again, there is C. H. Bergmann, the sec? retary, a serious looking, practical gentleman, who keeps all the papers of the club where ho can lay his hands on them Instanter; who nover gets angry, and who believes a German ls a direct de? scendant of Father Adam In everything bot the disposition to partake of forbidden fruit. Ur. Bergmann ls In charge of one of the best schools in Charleston, and on the day or the parada hts eighty pupils, every one of whom 1B a microscopic Turnor, constituted a very important feature of ? the procession. A bighearted, brave and intel? lectual gentleman. . There, too, ls P. Paokhabar, thc vice-president, who received a gold-headed cane the other day, because be was so unseltls? as to work for the happiness ot other people- a generous looking follow, who would pass, anywhere for a married man, and ts unimpeachable as a bachelor. Nor ls our friend F. Melcher* to be lost sight of. lt was he who, with.Professor Deden and three others, met in 1854 to organise the dab, and who may be regarded as tho founders of these annual festivities. They wear their honors serenely, and in all that concerna the weal of the public, may Dd written down with an emphatic "Yours, truly." And Yon San ten-he must not be neglected. Toung, smooth-faced, handsome, a thorough son rf the Fatherland, brim ru l of energy, with a kind word for au, not proud of his prosperity, bat very proud or his ancestry, mast happily does he com? bine the suaviter in.modo ot the social gentleman With the fm-Mer tn-, re ot the tl rie a rifleman. . He wears -his uniform like the king Re deserves to be. There are others who pass In view bet?re os? good shots, good men, and-healthy old fellows who haye mute their social mark; bat we must morten our bowstrings and withhold Ure. We Oiuyneod add that the'German Rifle Club is som posed of a body of men, or every one of whom ?omethlng kind might be written; and lt is due io the ract that they are all, by nature, ld en tl tied with our social and bt di ness welfare, that they to-day command a power tn Charleston which parties wKh.lt the respect of the people. - " TAUGET TR A CT I CE U Y LA VI BS. Yesterday a ?umber.or 'ladies engaged in tar? get practice with the air-guns. There were several excellent shots made, and the ladles displayed great Interest m the practice, each one seeming ruxtons to secure one or the prizes offered. After a long contest it.yras decided that Urs. Geilfuss was entitled to the first prize; Mrs. Harms to the second; Miss Nichols the third, and Mrs. w. D. Harvey the fourth-for making the worst shot, shortly after four o'clock, Captain Melchers dis? tributed the prizes to the ladles. Mrs. Geilfuss received a ladies' work st and -.Mrs. Harms a port monnaie; Miss Nichols a sUver sewing-bird, snd Hrs. Harvey one or Mr. ClauBsen's advertising medals. INCIDENTS. The firing at the eagle was lively during the shooting hours, and although the bird suffered sonsiderably. only the head was shot off, Mr. P. gressel making the successful shot The members of the South Carolina Rifle Club, with their slxtccn-shooters, displayed consider? able still. These rifles, while a very efficient wea? pon, are not specially adapted to target practice. One or the members or (his club fired abont thirty shots at thc target, and although not one or the bullets struck the bull's-eye, yet the whole num? ber were close around lt in a space which could be covered by the hand. Had he possessed one or the rifles used in regular target practice, the bull's-eye would have been put out. Harry Leslie and Miss Nichols gave their usual tight-rope performances. Leslie announced that on Friday he would take a stove on the rope with him and cook and eat his dinner. It is under? stood that the pnblic are Invited to panic pate la the meal. He need not prepare a very large din? ner. The exercises of to day will be similar to those or yesterday-- To-morrow the fest will close. TUB SKATING: RINK, at the Academy of Music Hall, la getting to be a place of popular re-sort. The roller ska ung exercise ls exhilarating and healthful, aud we would advise our yonng citi? zens or both sexes to avail themselves of the op? portunity of getting a large amount of exercise, combined with considerable amusement. rf I STATE TAXATION. Motion for an Injunction to Restrain the State from li e v y I n g Taxes upon the So a th Carolina Railroad Company. AN INTERESTING CASE. In thc United States Circuit Court jester day, Ids Honor Judge Bryan presiding, a motion was made by Hon. A. 0. Magrath for au Injunc? tion to restrain Reuben Tomllnson, Esq., State Auditor, and the treasurers of the several coun? ties through which thc South Carolina Railroad passes, from proceeding to the collection of taxes assessed upon tho property of the company. The bill ceta forth that the South Carolina Rail? road Company has, by the statutes of thc State, a perpetual exemption from taxation; that by tho recent act or the Legislature the courts are for? bidden to Interfere with the collection of any tax assessed under the authority of the State, and that the provision made in thc statute for the recovery of taxes Illegally assessed and collected ls Inadequate and affords no adequate or substan? tial relier. Hence this bill ls brought by Branch A Sons, citizens of Virginia and Georgia, against the South Carolina Railroad to prohibit the compa? ny from paying tho tax, and against tho tax om? eo ra fer the purposes or suspending thc enforce mens of the taxes. Mr. Magrath appeared for thc complainants, and Mesar?. D. H. Chamberlain and D. T. Corbin for defendants. Mr. Magrath opened tho argu? ment tn support of the motion, and cited from thc various statutes of the State, showing that the South Carolina Railroad Company had per petual exemption rrom taxation. Uo then argued that snoh exemption rrom taxation constituted, a contract, within the meaning or the Oonstitu Honor tho United States, which the court was bound to protect. The act or the Legislature or 1870 was a distinct violation of that contract, which this court was bound to give them protea tlon against. The learned counsel cited name rous authorities in support of his position, more particularly from decisions of the Supreme Court or thc United States. The question made in the bill, he said, S this Branch, ?oas a Co., citizens of Virginia and Georgia, come into this court with the allegation that they aro stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad Company, and that the State of South Carolina has Imposed a tax on the property of that corporation, rrom which tax, by acts or the Legislature or South Carolina, an exemption had bean granted to the South Carolina Railroad. That exemption, they allege, ls still In force. The set or the Legislature imposing a tax now on the property of that company is a violation of a con tract, and Impairs the obligation of that contract; Ming such, lt ls a case arising under the Consti cutios of the United States, and a case of which ,hla court has Jurisdiction. According to the de Malone or thc Supreme Court or the United States, where a corporation within a State ls either mable or unwilling to make sufficient opposition to an unconst ltut lona.' act or the State Legislature, tis the right of a corporator living outside of the Jtate to come Into this court for that relief which me corporation ls not able to secure. The parties whom he (Mr. Magrath) represented, have dc na?ded of the South Carolina Railroad Company ts purpose In relation to the assessment made ot .his property for taxation, and that corporation, is stated la the bill, has expressed to them Its nablllty under the laws of tho State to offer an iffectuat resistance to the collection of thc tax, Counsel, after thus briefly stating the case, sub? mited a copy or the order, which lt was pro meed to make after thc hearing of the whole ar rument by the court. This order restrains leuben Tomllnson and the various county treasu- < 'era rrom proceeding by distress or execution or < my other manner to assess, Impose, or collect 1 my tax upon the capital t-tock or the Sooth Caro? ma Railroad Company or dividends thereon, Ac, md prohibits tho >outh Carolina Railroad Oom ?any from consenting to pay sud tax, proresscd o be assessed and collected under the oct or 1870, ta The argument for tho State will bs opened this lornlng, at ll o'olock by, Attorney-General lhamberlaln.
