TH? aCMVTBBVrEMT. PO?BTH DAY. Sufferings of the Ea?lt-Cood Target Practice by 'the Laotien-Centre Shots. The loarth day of the Schutaenfest was very much like Ita predecessors-a large crowd, plenty of amusements. aud a joyous geod time for all who had the good fortune to be present. A PLUCKED BAO LE. The spread eagle which, on Tuesday morning last, rejoiced la all the requisites for a first class live eagle, such as wings, claws, head, neck, Aa, and other article? dite sceptres, apples of honor, not incidental to the "bird which screams from the rocky height;," was yesterday afternoon a mere wreck. Thu crown, hoad, neck, wings and claws were gone, and a large portion of the tail had separated from the body. A mere chunk of wood lt seemed, yet the marksmen pitied it not, and, up to the last moment, were blazing away at the portion of the tail left. Yesterday Mr. A. Meyer shot off the neck, Mr. A. Tiefcnthal the left wing, and Mr. Wi Himraerbrleck the left clawr GOOD PRACTICE BY TEB LADIES. Tha ladles practiced again yesterday with the air-guns. Their shots were eKceltent, and would compare favorably with those or the riflemen. Miss Nichols cai ried o?* the first prize-a hand some/card case; Miss Wagener the second-a toilet set; Mrs. Gielluss the th;rd-two handsome vases. CENTRE 3HOT?. Threnghout Um grounds are placards noticing the visitors to keep their cards and badges ia sight, consequently nearly every hat had a green card in it. But on yesterday there were to be no? ticed a large number or riflemen walking around, with their hat bands stuck full or little cards. These, on Inquiry, were found to be the proofs of the rifleman having made a centre shot-a card being given for each shot of the kind made. Some had ten, ethers twenty, one forty of these little cards. Mr. A. Glelfuss, if he did not have one hundred and six of them in his hat band had the right to wear that nnmber there-he having made that many centre shots. Mr. F. Torck made the next greatest number. LAST BAY. The fest will be closed to-day. Tr. programme is as follows : 1. The riflemen meet at the Schutzenplatz. 2. The shooting begins as on former days. 3. AU firing will cease this day at l o'clock P. M. 4. Coronation of the new king and distribution or prizes at 4 o'clock P. M., with appropriate re? marks by the orator of the day. r s.

M. brilliant illumination of the grounds, balloon ascension, fireworks. 7. Grand ball from 12 M. to 10 o'clock P. M. 8. At the conclusion or the festivities a salute of three gnns win be fired. This afternoon Leslie proposes to walk on the tight rope with one hundred and eighty pounds weight or chain about him; also to carry a stove ont with him and cook and eat an omelette. The exercises to-day will be of an unusually In? teresting character, and there will doubtless be the largest attendance of the week. MEETING OF raE CHARLESTON COUNTY AGRI? CULTURAL SOCIETY,-A regular monthly meeting or the Charleston County, Agricultural and Horti? cultural Society was held last evening in the Mar? ket Hall-Hon. Charles Macbeth, presiding.

Jr. Major Yardell stated that lt had been asserted that the potato rot was caused by a parasite iinown as peronospora. Having observed indica* tiona of this parasite among his potatoes, he, with ? view of ascertaining something definite in re? gard to the matter, sent some of his potato leaves to Professor S. W. Johnson, or the*Sheflleld Scien? tific School of Yale College. The professor had acknowledged the receipt or the leaves, and writ? ten that, though he was unable to discover on them peronospora, as the leaves were dry, yet he would not say there were none on them. In con? clusion, the professor promised to send some val? uable reports. Major Yardell suggested that the society should, at its meetings hereafter, discuss subjects ger? main te the objects or the society, and thereby make the meetings not only or interest, bat valu? able toatie members. On motion the society then adjourned. RESIGNATION.-We regret to learn that de? clining health has compelled P. K. Coburn, Esq., to resign the position or supervisor on the South Carolina Railroad. Mr. Coburn has discharged the arduous duties or his position most ralthlully for a long series or years, and to the entire satls 'action of the officers of the company. He ranks, ive believe, as senior employee of the company, LS regards time In service. Mr. Coburn's coonee ;lon with the road dates from its first organiza? ron, some thirty-five years ago.

Pursuant to the published call, the delegates to the State Sunday-School Convention assembled tn Trinity Church yesterday morning, at 10 o'clock A. M. The attendance waa large and the representation influential, comprising clergymen, superintendents and teachers from nearly every district lu the State. The number present may be roughly estimated at two hundred. The church was prettily decorated for the oc? casion by Dr. James R. Mood, Mrs. L. Steine and the ladies attached to its Sunday-school. Baskets o? beautiful flowers hung as pendants to the gas fixtures around the galleries, vases or flowers were arranged on the rostrum, and thc window tn the rear or the pulpit was fairly enshrined in evergreens and roses, amid which peeped out the words : "Friends or Jesus-Welcome." A novel feature of the convention was tho pre? sence of a sort or rotatory song book; in other words, a handsome oak frame, ten feet high. In which were adjusted several rollers. These roll? ers operated by a crank, unfolded long sheets or paper, on which were printed in large type, visi? ble a hundred feet distant, a succession or hymns adapted to Sunday-School devotions-a unique and convenient mode or dispensing with hymn hooks. It was, ba fact, a perpendicular panora? ma of "Psalmody Divine." On the opposite side of the stage was a blackboard, to be used for the purposes or the convention, while scattered in rront was an abundance of tracts, napers and Sunday school literature. The Committee of Arrangements, appointed to superintend affairs incident to the occasion, con? sisted of Messrs. C. P. Frazer, H. Wheelan, W. H. Houston, Jr., F. A. Silcox. and J. Adger Smythe. These gentlemen, handsomely sustained by others attached lo the various churches, have- labored zealously lor the comfort and accommodation or their guests. The consequence is that a large number or the Christian gentlemen arc quartered la private ramilles throughout the city. The convention was called to order at io o'clock A. M. by Mr. K. 0. Gilchrist, superintendent or the Sunday-school or Rev. Dr. Smythe's Church, or this city. He made the fallowing remarks : Friends ana Brothers-Cha.-ieston greets your presence, aud we welcome you to our hearts and humes. Commerce, agriculture and politics have already summoned in convention the sons or our State, who have deliberated long and earn? estly touch'ng those matters which concern her material prosperity, aud by' which she may be redeemed from the corruption and misrule which threatens to destroy her. But this convocation or earnest Christian men, is by rar the most lm fiortant or all that have yet assembled, ror though in palled by the same ihought and seeking the same end, we propose to employ means that have never yet failed, and which have the sanction of their Divine and Omnipotent author. Realizing that, In a few short years, not our State alone, but the whole country, must pass Into the keeping of other hands, and they although now just grasping the thread or Ufe, will then guide the helm, perhaps amid breakersjaore ap? palling than any we have seen, or erse into a sure and quiet haven, we seek to prepare the vouth of our land for the great and momentous duties which await them. The Sabbath-school ls therefore second In Importance to no religious In? stitution or the age: an Integral portion or the Church or Christ, lt stands, as it were, at the very portal or lire, berore either the broad or nar? row way has been passed by the tender feet or youth, and seeks to guide their first steps into the wav or pleasantness and peace. But, brethren, thc Sabbath-school ol to-day ls not the Sabbath-school or ?tty years ago. Then lt was in the germ; now it has developed into a stately tree, whose spreading branches shelter millions, and whose fruit ls ror the healing or J thc nations. Yet Its earnest workers are not satisfied with the attainments already made, but are ever seeking arter greater light and improved means to accomplish the end they have In view, which ls nothing less than thc conversion or thc young and evangelization or the world. You have therefore responded to our invitation, and now meet with us to give and receive tidings that might cheer and energize to contribute your well earned experience, that others may take heart and do likewise, and, by mutual counsel, advance the best interests or *he Sunday-school cause, and make lt a greater power in the world. Let us then, as we enter on the solemn duties this hour Inaugurates, look to the only source ot wisdom to guide our deliberations, and remem? ber that with us "Names and sects and parties rall, And Jesus Christ ls Lord or all." Then shall our hearts be quickened to a greater sense or the Importance or the work, and we will all return to our respective homes and duties to pray better, study better, teach better and work bet'er, so that each in his own place may accom? plish greater results. Again do we welcome you all, and pray God's blessing on your deliberations. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION. j On motion or Mr. C. E. Chichester, Mr. F. B. El ? ford, or this city, was chosen chairman, pro tem. ' Mr. Elford also added his words or welcome to those which had been uttered by the preceding speaker, and, on concluding, called upon Rev. E.

Bolles, State ogeu: of thc American Bible Society, expressed his pleasure in meeting the representatives or the Sunday school Intcrcsi In convention, and said that teachers and pupil could always obtain Bibles and Testaments from the I cal agents In the several county towns oi from himself. Mr. V. Dibble, in behalf of the Young Men's Christian Association, tendered thc convention the hospitality or their rooms on King street, and thanks thereror were returned, on motion ol Rev. M. Jacobs. During these exercises, hymns musical, rever boratory, plaintive and enthusiastic, were reellngly sung by the convention, and at hair past one, after prayer and doxology, the body took a recess. Afternoon Session. The convention reassembled at half-past 3 o'clock P. M., Vice-president W. K. Blake, of Spar, tnnburg. being called to the chair. The services commenced by the singing of the hymn "Beautiful Zion." and prayer by Rev. H. M. Mood. TheBpeoial order of the hour being the follow? ing subject, to wit : "THE OBJECT AND DS3I0N OF SUNDAY-SCHOOLS." Rev. Mr. Hicks opened the discussion with a learned essay, In wbloh he traced the Institution to Mosaic times, sud demonstrated thal even at that early day God inteuded this principle and practice or instruction as one or thc chiel instru? mentalities ror thc dissemination of religious knowledge. He next considered the objects of the Sunday-school, namely : to lead to God-to direct the tender life in tho holy duties of time and eternity-to feed the spiritual life with the sincere milk of the world, and to educate the sou:. We regret our Inability to present this masterly product KU as an entirety. Captain C. E. Chichester discussed the point whether lt should be thc object or the Sunday school to teach those who have no other means or education. He argued to the contrary. Thc mission or the Sunday-school was to teach the way orsalvatlon-uot the alphabet To this end lt should bc made a pleasant place, attractive in all its surrounding and associations; yet the ex? treme should be avoided of offering a bribe. Mr. Branch said that any Sabbath-school In? struction which stopped short or the Throne or Grace did not come up to his standard, and he illustrated bis point by reciting the history or Robert Morrison, the celebrated divine, who lu bis boyhood was taVen rroru the streets by a lady, carried to a Sabbath-school, and eventually, yielding to the influences of the place, became one of the greatest and best or mea. Mr. Kngley said he stood upon the exact spot where Arty years ago a sainted teacher taught him the alphabet. His own experience thus de? monstrates the Importance of ming this and every other means of education that would de? velop the mental and religions training of youth. One in a measure depended upon and resulted from the other. The influence of an intelligent youth in a family of Ignorant parents, brothers and sisters, could not be over estimated, and if thia Intelligence could be Imparted In the Sunday school, let lt be done as an auxiliary to the great? er effort made In behalf of thc soul's education. Or. Shuter, of Colleton, contended that, while the salvation of the soul was unquestionably the object of the Sunday-school, lt was equally the purpose of thc Institution to prepare the child for thc duties of ure-for the obligations due first to his God aud then to hlH fellow man. One was comprehended bi the other. The education of the mind, properly conducted by a judicious teacher, would effect this result. Mr. V. Dibble, of Charleston, said he thought teachers were losing sight or the proposition that the chlet object or the Sunday-school was the con? version or the scholar. In one sense the Sabbath . Behool was not an educational Institution. Nei? ther mental nor moral education, strictly speak? ing, was designed, since the fact that a child was taught good sense or good morals did not neces? sarily imply the employment ot those means ne? cessary to save his soul. Too many religious teachers were content to Impart knowledge which "had no direct beating on the subject, and which ? In arter years, notwithstanding all their efforts, brought thc man no nearer the root or the Cross than when he was a child. The time allotted to the debate now being ex? hausted, a hymn was sung and the convention proceeded to discuss the second subject on thc programme, namely: TUE RELATION TUE SUNDAY SCUOOL BEARS TO TUE CHURCH. Rev. J. T. Wightman, ot this city, being ap? pointed to open the discussion, read an elegant ossay briefly reviewing the subject, and showing how church and Sunday school were designed, by their Divine rounder, to have a common origin and structure. The crowded condition or our columns, this morning, alone prevents its publi? cation in tull. Mr. Wightman concluded by offering the following resolutions: Resolved, That lt ls the sense of this convention that the commands of the Great Head of the Church makes lt Imperative upon the church to establish and sustain Sabbath-schools, which carry out the Injunction of Christ : " Feed nay lambs." Resolved, That this convention earnestly recom? mend to pastors and people heartily to engage In this work as the Divine place of laying the foun? dation of lasting piety and enduring strength tu the Church or Christ. The Rev. W. P. Jacobs, or Laurens, sustained the views above advanced In an eloquent speech, and, on his motion, the resolutions offered by Mr. Wightman were adopted. The third subject or discussion was THE DUTY OF TA3T0RS, OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH TO THEIR SUNDAY SCHOOLS. Rev. W. T. Capers, of Darlington, on opening the debate, laid down the general proposition that since the hope of the Christian world was In I the education of the children, it behooved pastors especially to be In constant communication with thc Sunday-school; to visit lt as the head of the church; to conter frequently with thc teachers, and above all. to break down the restraints that might exist between the pupils and the preacher. In short, he must become one of them in sympa? thy and affection. A similar duty was Incum? bent on the parent and members. Their presence would be an encouragement, and, If they but pos? sessed the will, they might stimulate the little ones to exertions that would redound to their oWn eternal welfare. Rev. Mr. Hicks remarked that lt was a lament? able ract that In many places the pastor was rc-4 garded as a sort or Btrnngar in his own Sunday school. He appeared lo be controlled by a sort or delicacy which forbade him to stop, a3 he walk? ed up the aisle, and exchange kindly greetings with the teachers and children. He seemed to Imagine that his proper place was in the chancel alone, and his only duty that of addiesslng his audience cf little ones from that point by special invitation of the superintendent. There was ap? parently between the ofUcere, the pupils and the pastor a wall or ice, which not even the breath of charity, prayer or holy love could melt, lt was all wrong. The pastor should feel at iibcrty-at any time to touch thc bell, and call the attention or the children to whatever great truth might, in his Judgment, bc connected with the lesson or the day. The utmost intimacy, unity and cordiality should exist in all the departments or thc school. Rev. W. A. Clarke agreed with all that had been said, but explained the difficulties under which many clergymen labored who were engaged in our sparsely settled country, lt was Impossible ror them to bc lu rrequent communication with Sabbath-schools In which they were the most vitally Interested. Rev. Mr. Adams thought there was but one ob? jection to thc present system or Sabbath-school education, and that was thc tendency in the en? thusiasm of pastors and teachers to exalt lt above the family altar. Its great aim shu iud bc to co? operate with faulty instruction, and to strengthen the religions influences of home. Dr. Alexander said that the citizen was made at the uresldc. Tho records of eternity would doubtless show that a majority of Christians were made there also. It was all Important that the two should work harmoniously together. Further remarks on the subject were made by Messrs. Dames, Wightman and Tyler, when the hour arrived ror opening THE QUESTION BOX. The first slip or paper contained thc following: '.Ought persons who arc not Christiana to be appointed to act as Sunday achoo' teachers or superintendents ?" Rev. Mr. Shuck being called upou by thc presi? dent, answered thc question iu thc negative, on the ground that a man who had not himself found thc way to salvation was not competent to lead a ch lld to Jcaus. Question No. 2: "Should parents who are members of tho church permit their children to attend the dance?" . Rev. Mr. Hawkins thought they might in thc city, but not in the country. [Laughter.] Mr. Hicks said he presumed his brother spoke from practical experience. [Laughter.] Other questions interesting and provocative of discussion were read and announced, and, after prayer by Rev. Mr. Vedder, the convention took a recess until 8 P. M. Evening Session. A large audience or ladles and gentlemen as? sembled. Reports were heard rrom the Sabbath-schools or the Interior, after which addresses were deliv? ered by Rev. Mr. Norris, or Edgcfleld, and Rev. W. B. Jacobs, or Laurens. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Hicks, and a hymn and the benediction followed. lu closing this hurried report, we may add that thc exercises are highly interesting to thc public at large, and being public in character, should be attended by all, especially parents and others who appreciate thc Importance of Sunday-school work. The convention to-day will resume Ita session at io o'clock, when a number or luterestiag pa? pers will be read by some of the able divines of the State._ STATU' TA.XA.TIOX. Judge Bryan Grant* the injunction to Restrain the State from Levying Taxes upon ike Soutli Carolina Railroad Company. The argument in the case of Thomas Branch and Fred. R. Scott, of Virginia, and Thomas P. Branch, of Georgia, copartners as Branch, Sons k Co., vs. Reuben Tomliusou, James W. Grace, et al. of South Carolina-a motion for an injunction to restrain the State from levying taxes upon the South Carolina Railroad Company-was resumed In the United States Circuit Court yesterday. HThe District Attorney opened thc argument in behalf of the State. He, after reciting thc Tacts in the bill, said that as ror the purpose or this mo? tion, the racts stated lu the bill were perhaps to be regarded as true, but the law asserted by the bill could be controverted. Assuming that the act of the Legislature of is?, as stated in the bill, did provide an exemption from taxation of the property of the South Carolina Railroad; as? suming that that construction has been acted upon by the government of the State, rrom that time until IMS, and assuming that the act of 1888 does impose a tax apon the railroad and its property, the question which he wonM submit to the court was, that there is another remedy besides the one sought in this case, and that is a remedy of law, which is full, adequate and complete. Second. They would insist upon this proposition that lt has not become or ls not the absolutely settled law of the country, that a Legislature can tic up the hands of subsequent Legislatures, so that they cannot tax property within the limits of the State, and tax all alike, equally and Justly. He thsn proceeded to show what was the reme? dy prescribed by law for parties who believe themselves illegally or erroneously taxed, and argued that under the law of the recent Legisla? ture thc South Carolina Railroad would have to pay the tax; that thc paying or a few hundred or a lew thousands or dollars would not do irrepa? rable Injury to the corporation, as the bill as? serted lt would. Mr. Corbin then argued that the State system or taxation was precisely similar to that or the United States Government, with this additional advantage to the taxpayers ot the State, that the State Auditor, when necessary, could convene the State Board or Equalization for the redress of grievances, and li the taxpayer ls not yet satis? fied, he can go into the courts and have all wrongs teared there. He would venture to assert that there was no State in thc Union where the rights or the taxpayer had been more oarcrully guard? ed In the multiplicity of appeals and opportuni? ties afforded him by the law for the redress of all illegal or erroneous assessments or taxation or property. As to whether thc Legislature of 1813 could tie up the hands or all future Legislatures, he ad? mitted that a majority or the decisions of the Snpreme Court ot the United States have been in favor of the authority or the State to exercise that .power. The judges, however, -have been nearly equally divided. [Herc the sneaker cited several cases in support or his assertion.] He stated that if the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany, which now owned one-tenth or one-twelfth or ail the property in the city and was constantly adding to it and paying no taxes, he would like to know what would become or the city debt. He thought that ir one Legislature was to be allowed to tlc thc hands or all subsequent ones, seed would be planted in the government which would destroy the government itself. Attorney General Chamberlain followed In be? half of the State. Hts line of argument was sim? ilar to that or lils predecessor, asserting that the act or no one Legislature could bind the subse? quent ones, and that the claim or the South Caro? lina Railroad Company that it had a perpetual exemption from taxation despite recent laws, simply because a previous Legislature had so de? creed, was invalid. General James Conner next addressed the court, brierly stating the position or the South Carolina Railroad Company in this case. In 1835 the Legislature of the State gave In the charter of the company a perpetual exemption from taxa? tion. H has renewed that exemption, and In every act which lt has passed ia relation to the South Carolina Railroad Company has always distinctly declared thal the South Carolina Rail? road Company is not amenable to alteration, amendment or repeal of its charter by the Legis? lature. The provisions or the act of 1835, thererore, remains as thc law. For thirty-five years tue State has adhered to and recognized thc force of that charter amendment. It has never, during that entire period, once attempted to levy a tax, and time has elapsed to have presumed a grant, even if one did not exist. Subsequent to the de? cision or the Supreme Court of the State, in thc case or the State vs. nood, the act or 1870 was passed. But Tor the provision or the act or 1870, the attempt to levy a tax upon the property or the South Carolina Railroad Company would have been met either with a writ or injunction In the State Court, or suggestion or a writ or prohibition upon the law side or the court, which would have stayed thc hands or the tax collectors until thc right to tax had bees adjudi? cated and judicially determined. But the com? pany hud not the power under the act or 1870 to avail themselves or a writ or prohibition rrora the state Courts, and the moment the tax collec? tor put his hand upon the property or the road the tax must bo paid. The company had no remedy. The subject was very carerully consider? ed by the solicitors, and the conclusion reached that the company was powerless; that they would have to pay the money. It was, there, rorc, that corporators, members or another State, seeking protection or their rights, come Into this court, asking this court to stay thc hands of par? ties until those rights have been ascertained and determined. Hon. A. G. Magrath followed, and said lt seem? ed to be conceded by the counsel on the other side that by the charter the company Had, among other or Its valuable franchises, the exemption rrom taxation. The arguments hail this morning taken a narrow range, really consisting mainly or two points: first, that there was an adequate reme? dy at law, aud hence this court ought not to take Jurisdiction; second, thc great question whether thc legislative act of 1830 tied up thc hands or all future Legislatures as to taxation or thc property of thc South Carolina Railroad. On thc first point he endeavored to show, by (.nations rrom thc statutes, that thc remedy was Inadequate, incomplete and uncertain; bot he claimed whether that wassoor not, the act or 1S3?, as a part or the franchise, secured a perpet? ual exemption rrom the payment or the tax, nud that was what they were entitled to. Bu: the laws ol the State having abolished the writ or pro? hibition which had heretofore cxlrtcd lu matters ol this kind to prevent illegal assessment und taxation, Hirurded no protection to thc road, and this court was thc univ conrt m which this frau? dase could now be protected. Upon the second ground, numerous authorities and decisions ot thc Supreme Court or the United States were cited to show: First, that the charter or a private corporation was a contract; second, as such it would be protected by the courts un? der that provision or the United States which prohibits any State rrom passing any law in vio. lation or contracts. It was admitted by the learned counsel that the courts had not been unanimous upon this question, bat the decisions rendered by thc majority ot the courts had all been uniform since the great case of the Dart? mouth College vs. Woodward. His Honer, Judge Bryan, delivered a verbal opinion. He decided that the Injunction asked for was the apt remedy ror the efucstion brought before him. His determination, he said, aside ftom any other consideration, was based upon the fact that it involves a franchise, and this ls the more authoritative, direct and speedy mode or practically determining its existence. The remedy, ir there be a remedy afforded by the State, ls certainly not a speedy one. lt ls dilatory In its very nature, aud somewhat uncertain, he thought, in Its final execution. So far as the au? thority of thc State is concerned to do what lt hus undertaken to do, In this matter, the action or this court, aud tue action Oom this court, will bring thc qnestton directly to the ultimate tribu? nal, where we can Hud a decision binding on all parties, and settle the question at Issue. I think, thererore, sahl Iiis Honor, that the court Ls more than justified in assuming jurisdiction, and the assumption or that jurisdiction will carry no hardship, no harm to any party here, but sat? tle speedily and distinctly the rights of thc corpo? ration and all other corporations Identified with them in this questlou. The injunction will be simply provisional, and the great question in the matter may be fully argued h-teafter. The temporary Injunction and provision prayed tor will be granted. RANK'S SALOON.
