MEETING OF TAXPAYERS LAST NIGHT. THE SALK OF THE CITY PROPERTY. CITY ATTORNEY CORBIN APPLIES FORAN INJCKCTION. The pr oceeclimrs ol the executors of Gibbon to enforce the payment of judgments obtained against the city for overdue city stock, and the notice by the sheriff of the sale, on Monday next, of the Artesian Well and White Point Gar? den, have naturally excited the uneasiness and alarm of the holders of real estate, and of the taxpayers in general. With a debt ol' over Ave million dollars staring the city in the face, and falling due In large amounts every year; with a burdensome taxation which depresses the value of all property, it was felt necessary that so me steps should be taken to ascertain the real p osition of the city in relation tolls debt, and to do what might seem best for the protection of the tax-paying public. This feel? ing assumed shape on Thursday last, when a private meeting was held, which resulted in the issuing ol the following circular: Dear Sir-The undersigned desire you to meet them on the 3d instant, at 7 o'clock, at the Market Hall, to consider the city debt. We are impressed with the conviction that in its present form and under present circumstances it is pregnant of disastrous consequences to the city, and we desire to consult with you as to the means ot' its solution.

TAYLOR, W. P. RUSSELL, WM. MORAN, J. C. H. CLAUSSEN. HENRY BISCHOFF, And others. In accordance with tills invitation, a large number ot taxpayers assembled at the Market Hall last night at the appointed hour. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Jno. H. Devereux, who spoke as follows: Gentlemen-We are assembled here for the purpose of taking Bato consideration the pre? sent condition of our city affaire. While al? most all the cities in the United States are ex? panding and spreading their wings, like so many mighty eagles, Charleston, hung in sack? cloth and ashes, Ts receding step by step, until now, overwhelmed with debt, her public pro? perty ls about to be put under the hammer of the auctioneer. It Is not for us to ask whose fault this is, but to set at work at once, and take steps to reme? dy the evil. First, to save for ourselves and our children the only nubile park of any ac? count that we have, that known as "White Point Garden," and now offered for sale to satisfy the claims of the owners of past due city stock. And next, to consider the proprie? ty and feasibility of offerinir such terms to the .owners of city stock ns may be within the ability and power ot the people to give. To my mind, tills question has resolved I itself into a very simple form. We must! either come to some accommodation with the creditors of the city, or they will come into possession of our property. Oue gentleman, who ls a member of Ciiy Council, and the owner of some one hundred and six thousand dollars of this stock, has been heard to say, I am told.that he would have the last brick and the last shingle, dollar lor dollar. The owners of the shingles and bricks are pre? pared to show that they never delegated to their servants, the City Council, at anv time, the power to contract such debts, and further more, that In the Issue of city stock, or prom? ises to pay of any kind, they exceeded Hie power given to tliein under their charter. The sale of "White Point Garden" will nec? essarily be followed by others, until even that grandest of all charities, and most noble of all our Institutions, the Orphan Asylum itself will be Bold to satisfy the demands or capital ists who hold the promises to pay ot this most unhappy city. With these lew remarks. I beg ol you to elect a permanent chairman, more able than myself to guide your action and point ont the fairest and most feasible plan for shielding our good city from the grave now being prepared tor her. Capt. Geo. H. Walter was then called to the chair, and Messrs. R. B. Stanley and A. A. Goldsmith requested to act as secretaries. The chairman, after expressing bis sense of | the importance of th,e.matters to be discussed, declared the meeting to be ready for business. On motion of Mr. Devereux, who accepted amendments offered by Mr. Trumbo and others, it was Resolved, That the chair appoint, at his leisure, a committee of niue, (one from each ward, and the chairman of tiie meeting.) which committee should take Into considera? tion the whole subject of the city debt, obtain information in that regard, and report the re? sult as early as practicable. Capt. J. M. Mulvaney then offered the follow? ing preamble and resolutions : Whereas, The present condition of the finances of the city is a subject for the anxious consideration of all who live within its limits, andjjjhe amount of taxation requisite to keep down the interest charged against the city ls heavy and oppressive, and the renewal of "the prosperity of its inhabitants can scarcely be hoped for, while a debt so heavy and taxation so oppressive ls rendered necessary; and, whereas, there is a strong conviction that a large portion of the so-called debt of the city ls not a legal obligation ol' (be city, and if riot, then that the same ought ncr to be allowed lo oppress those who in their taxes have to contribute to its reduction; therefore, Resolved, 1. That a committee of nine be ap? pointed, who shall be charged with the duty of | taking Into consideration the financial condi? tion of the City of Charleston, and for that pur? pose the said committee shall be authorized to engage the services of such counsel as they may select, and from such counsel obtain opinions as to what portion of the public debt of the city has been incurred with? out authority under the charter of the city. And that such opinions, when obtained, the said committee shall publish for the informa? tion of the citizens. 2. That the said commiltee shall be further authorized'to Instruct such counsel to adopt such measures as they shall deem-propc-i- and necessary, to protect the public property of the city and the interests of the citizens. 3. That the said committee be further au? thorized to collect such fund?, from private contributions as may be necessary to defray such expenses as they may in mr. Captain Mulvaney and lt". W. P. Russell spoke In support of the resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. Russell, the preamble and resolutions were referred to the Advisory Com? mittee already appointed. On motion of Mr. Devereux, lt was Resolved, That the Advisory Committee se? cure the co-operation of as many taxpayers as possible In the movement. On motion of Mr. Voigt, it was Resolved, That the Advisory Committee be instructed to name sub-committees to canvass the taxpayers in each ward. Mr. Voigt offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the Advisory Committee be authorized to collect all information in refer? ence to the city debt, as also all articles which have appeared in tho dally papers, and have the same published, together with their report, in pamphlet form for distribution. On mot:on of Mr. Trumbo, amended by Gen? eral Gurney, the chairman was authorized to call a public meeting of the taxpayers when? ever the same should he recommended by the Advisory Committtee. On motion of Mr. Mulvaney, all persons present at the mecling favorable to lhe object expressed in Hie resolunlions, were invited to come forward and sign their names. Naarly every persou at the meeting accordingly sign? ed the roll. It was thea ordered that the roll be lett at the newspaper offices for further sig? natures. The proceedings of the meet Ingwer? ordered to be. published, and after passing a rote of thanks to the chairman and taries, the meeting adjourned. The meeting was large in numbers, fluentinl in character, and its proc< were marked by earnestness and harmc Thc Sale of White Point Garden ai Artesian Well. For several weeks past, E. W. M. 51 sheriff of Charleston County, has adv in the city napers that, by virtue of an tlon in the case of Jehu Gibbon, Get Gibbon, Wm. L. Webb, Andrew McD. 1 executors of George Gibbon, deceased, City Council, he would sell in front courthouse, on Monday next, Ctli of Jt the right, title and interest of the defe in the premises known as the South Bi tery or White Point Garden, the Artesiat and the premises at the northeast coi King and Calhouu streets. THE SHERIFF ENJOINED. As soon as lt was known that the sher 1 evied upon the Battery, and there was i peet of its being sold, all of our citizen! are justly proud of this place of resort, indignant and loudly expressed their di faction. Some of the properly owners i section, it is said, conferred together to tain if there was anyway to slay the s Whether this be true or not, certain if. i they have taken no public steps to tha However, a prospect of relief came from i er quarter. About half-past 3 o'clock y day afternoon, Sheriff Mackey receivi following notice: CHARLESTON, S. C., June 3. li The City Council of Charleston vs. Join bon, George E. Gibbon, William L. Webt drew McD. Brown, executors of George bon. deceased, and E. W. M. Mackey, s of Charleston County: SIR-Please take notice that I will mot an injunction In the above cause, to-moi before Bon. A. J. Willard, associate it Supreme Conn, at Cohimoia, S. C., al chambers. Respectfully. D. T. CORBIN, City Attorn GROUNDS FOR THB MOTION". About the same time a copy of the in. tion was filed In the clerk's office ol' the ! Court. It recites: First. That in Hie case of the City Coi vs. Geo. E. Gibbon et al, executors of Gibbon, deceased, and E. W. M. Mackey, sli of Charleston County, the defendants, the exception of Sheriff Mackey, secure March, 1870, a judgment against the plal for the sum of $41,503 40. Second. That for the purpose of satisf; the execution the sheriff of Charleston C< ty pretended to levy upon the Battery, Artesian Well and the premises at the soi east corner of Calhoun and King streets, advertised it to be sold on the Gili of June. Third. That the property is not subject levy and sale urklcr an execution to satisfy debts of the City Council, for the follow reasons: That the Artesian Well propt was purchased by the City Council to wells upon it to get water for the use of < zens; that the wells had been dug, and the c zens supplied willi water lor more than tw ty years. That on the "th of May. 1:557, board of field officers of the Fourth Brigade 1 purchased the property at the corner of Kl and Calhoun streets, which, with.the adjoin!

That for these reasons ti plaintiff demanded that thc defendants, thc attorneys and agents, ami especially Sheriff W. M. Mackey, be forever restrained from se 'mg, or ottering for sale, the aforesaid propert, by virtue of said execution. As above stated, the motion will be mndeb fore Associate Justice Willard at Columbia t day. It was Intended to make the motion b fore Judge Carpenter, but he was called awa; Major Corbin left for Columbia last night, ls understood that the counsel for the opposil side will not offer.to resist the motion.

During his examination, he stated that he would not be always In jail, and when he came out he would accomplish his bloodthirsty ob? ject. THE CATHOLIC MISSION.-The subject of the discourse delivered at S?? Patrick's Church, last night, by Father Gar?sche, was *'The Paint of the Damned." The eloquent father exerted his great powers to the utmost, and produced a profound impression upon the multitude who thronged the church. Father Garesche hopes to be able* to preach twice on Sunday-in thc morning at High Mass at half-past 10. and at night at a quarter before 8, when thc Pontifical Bencdictiou will be given, and the mission will close.

The steamer Samson will start on another fishing excursion this morning at 9 o'clock, hom Boyce's wharf. The German Artillery Association aro makiug preparations for a picnic to take place at the Schulzenplatz next Monday. SUMMER FASHION HINTS. The large, sensible pongee parasols will be (ie riguer this summer. A novelty this spring is the handkerchief of unbleached linen, to match the ecru linen dresses. They are exceedingly fine and very elaborate, but not pretty enough to be? come very fashionable. Parasols this summer are trimmed with nar? row ruches of white silk, or with deep fiat folds of crape, or in plain black, lined with same color. For light mourning they are oc? casionally used in pure white, with lace cover, but this is scarcely in keeping with the cos? tume. In making flounces with flat pleats turned all one way for cretonnes and cambrics, it must be remembered that they should be very full-at least twice the fullness of the dress at the bottom. They should be stitched on or near the top, and the pleats are merely press? ed, not sewed. Among thc novelties shown now are some very pretty jackets, of peculiarly soft and downy looking worsted. They are of blue mauze, pink and white, as well as of black and white-and those of black with but little white are used for carriage costumes, though they seem much more suitable for the house. Widows' caps are small, three-cornered pieces of tulle, or fine Paris material, or wid? ow's mite, redged with a black ribbon ran through the centre. They are often not fast? ened at all, but allowed to rest lightly on the top of the hair willie the strings fall easily at the side. They add much to the tout ensem ble of a fashionable mourning toilet. Every possible kind of trimming is worn even beads, so lately "gone out," seem to be "coming in" again, and the stylishness of a dress seems to depend more on hoio the trim? ming is used than on what it is composed of. The poplins and other worsted dress goods of the brown or gray shades should be trimmed with black, as black silk bindings or mellings, or narrow black velvet ribbons, or else with silk of the same color, but in a darker shade. A new way of using white muslin is very charming, and an old blue, green, pink, or mauve silk dress, may be made to look quite new by its use. Large flounces, or plaitlngs of white muslin, edged with a plain "loot? ing," or with an excellent imitation of Valen? ciennes, are put on the skirt, and a long tu? nic, trimmed in the same way, falls like a court train over the skirt, and is looped up with bows of black velvet, or with ribbon of the color of the dress. Sometimes these muslin flounces are put under silk ones, reaching only a few Inches below the knee. Bonnets mid veils are made high, of puffs of crape, divided with Jet or with plain bands of the material. The veil ls, in some instuuees, tied straight across the forehead, just on the edge of thc bonnet, mal^ig a perfectly straight fall from the top of the head, and giving a pe? culiar and stylish effect. The cottage bonnet ls particularly appropriate for widows. The lull, ruche ls the most becoming, with white tulle strings, hemmed and tucked; but many prefer lust the ruche over the top. The veil ls worn rery long-a yard and a quarter at least alter Hie hem ls added-and a string is mn through it to tie on with. It Is of heavy English crape, selling from $5 to $7 per yard,, and often as high as $12.

Three conditions are absolutely es? sential to health, viz: a good appetite, easy diges? tion, aud the ability to sleep soundly. Seven-, eighths of thc many thousands who suffer from In? disposition, yet do not labor under serious dis? ease, complain that they "can't cat,'; that their stomachs are "out of order," or that they "don't sleep well." For this class of ailments few poi? sons think of calling In a physician. Nor Is lt ne? cessary, Inasmuch as a course of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS will certainly relieve the derangements of the stomach, the liver, and the nervous system, from which want of appetite, Indigestion and sleeplessness arise. This excellent vegetable tonic and corrective 1? also a delightful anodyne. In? somnia, (or Incapacity to sleep,) which has resist? ed all the ordinary remedies, will yield readily to u dose of this pleasant sedative taken just belorc retiring to rest. In ordinary medical practice lt is usual to give a stomachic, nu ape? rient, an luvlgorant, a soporific, or an antiseptic, as thc ease for the time being may seem more particularly to require; but In this grand restora? tive all these medicinal properties, and many others, are blended In due proportion. Thus the digestion is stimulated, while thc bowels are regu? lated, the liver toned, the strength recruited, thc nerves calmed, the aulds purified, aud thc circu? lation equalized. It ls believed that there is no other restorative and regulating medicine In thc world which acts so beneficially and agreeably upon all thc assimilating ami secretive organs at the same time; and to all who lacT: the three fuu damental requisites or health and enjoyment, a vigorous appetite, sound dlgesilon and refresh? ing sleep, lt ls confidently recommended as a speclllc. jun3-6n.n: pg- THE PIONEER STEAM FIRE COMPANY-TO THE CITIZENS OF CHARLES?

A VIS & MILLER'S FLAVORING EXTRACTS. IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter Into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac There ls hardly a etty or town of any note in the country into which they have not found their way. The reason or this widespread popularity and daily Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the dav, we have still rurther improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that tl?ev stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy or flavor. It is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, this is the decision of the best judges lu the conn irv. We don't pretend to compete In price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of thu day. which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy competition.
