Opening of ?he New Hall of the Insti? tute-Addresses of Rev. Fut her Gares? che, BI. P. O'Connor, Esq., anil others History of the Institute. Last night the new hall (in the Paro? chial building on Broad street) of the Catho? lic Institute was opened, and addresses were delivered by Rev. Father Garcsche, M. P. O'Connor, Esq., and Father Quigley. HISTOR! OK THE INSTITUTE. Twenty years ago, a number of young men connected with the Catholic Church of this city organized themselves into a society for mutual benefit, called themselves the Catholic Institute, fitted up a hall on Broad street, where the Parochial school stands now, col? lected a valuable library, and Just previous to the war were in a flourishing condition. Dur? ing the "great fire of 1861," their hall, with its valuable books, maps, records, &c, were de? stroyed. The members were scattered by the war, and the Institute was scarcely an organ? ized body until 1866, when it was revived. For a time the meetings were held in the bxsc mentofSt. Paul's Church, but shortly after the reorganization, rooms were secured on King street, where the meetings were held and a lew books were collected. These, with six or seven hundred vol? umes, consisting et biographical, histori? cal, theological works bequeathed by Rev. Dr. Dunn, (formerly of tills diocese,) who died in Philadelphia about three montiis ago, made quite a respectable library. When the Parochial school was completed, Rev. Father Quigley, to whose exertions is mainly due the completion of the building, donated a portion of it to the Institute. This portion was fitted np by the Institute-the lower story as a libra? ry and reading room, and the upper story as a billiard saloon (for the use of members only) and opened last night. The officers of the In? stitute are : Bernard O'Neil, president; E. F. Sweegan, T. S. O'Brien and H. Z. Lauroy, vice presidents; and H. J. O'Neil, secretary. OPEXIXO OP THE HALL. About one hundred persons assembled in the hall last night, to witness the opening ceremo? nies, among whom were the Catholic clergy of the city. At half-past 8 o'clock, Mr. B. O'Neill called the meeting to order, and after stating thc ob? ject of the meeting, and giving a brief sketch ol the objects and history of the institute, which are given above, in most complimentary terms, introduced Rev. Father Garesch?. The Reverend Father, after expressing his regret at net having suffi bently inquired into the objects and aims of tl ; Institute to enable him to speak to the members as he would de? sire, said that 'als experience led him, to be? lieve that there was a general apathy among the Catholics, not any apathy as regarded their duties to thc church, but In what they considered to be the duty of the priests to at? tend to-such as exerting influence to gather children and others into the fold of thc church, and he believed that societies such a3 he was addressing contributed much to relieve thc priests of some ot their burdens, and aid them in their efforts to promote the interests of the church. He was glad to be present and con? tribute his share to the Interest of the first meeting of the Institute in its new hall. The speaker, after apologizing lor the digres? sion, which he said was not much of a digression, for the society should take hold of the matter,1 spoke at length upon the benefits accruing to the church from Sunday schools, urging that as there were many Catholic families, the pa reuts of which could not or would not incul? cate the doctrines of the Catholic Church among their children, It was necessary for thc church to see that they were not neglected in this regard, and he knew of no better motin.3 of meeting and overcoming the diffi? culty than by forming Sunday schools and gathering the children into them. The speak? er then related an accouut of his visit to a model Catholic Sunday-school in Boston, con? sisting of one thousand children, who were formed Bato classes of six each wit hone teach? er to each class. At 9 o'clock Sunday morn? ing there was mass especially for these chil? dren, after which there were interesting Sun? day-school exercises. The speaker was of the opinion that there I should not be more than six scholars to each teacher, and that the hope ol' the church was in a great measure dependent upon Sunday schools, in which tho young could be trained in their duties to the church. The Reverend Father then alluded to thc good which a society like the Institute might accomplish If its members went to work with the right spirit, and cited an Instance of a so? ciety in St. Louis which started with ten mem? bers, and one year afterward numbered hun? dreds, and during the year distributed $17,000 in charities. With words of encouragement to the mem? bers, and expressions ol good wishes for the success of the Institute, the Reverend Father took his seat, much to the regret of his audi? ence, who were Intensely delighted \yitli the words of cheer and encouragement from the speaker, and desired to hear more. Mr. M. P. O'Connor, being called upon, spoke fervently and at length of the duties of the Catholic to his church, of the interest and pride he should feel in it, and of tho energy and spirit he should exercise in promoting its interests. He contrasted the condition of thc church In Charleston about thirty years ago and now. Then his father and a few others were all of Its adherents; now it was most powerful, and Its influence was felt every? where. The address was interesting and in? structive, and listened to with marked atten? tion. At the conclusion of Mr. O'Connor's address, j Mr. B. O'Neill slated that the thanks of thc Institute were due to Rev. Father Quigley for the hali which he had donated to lt. The ap? plause which followed the'suggestlon, showing more plainly than a mere vote of thauks could do, thc gratitude of thc members, brought Father Quigley to his feet. He claim? ed that in his generosity he was actuated by no otherreasou thaua desire to benefit a so? ciety which ho was aware would be so pro? ductive of good to the church. After a few pleasant remarks from Rev. Father Shadier and others, the following reso? lutions were offered, adopted and thc Insti? tute adjourned: Resolved, That tho gentlemen of the Catho tlc Institute, appreciating the missionary la? bors and ncver-to-be-forgotton services of the Kev. Father Garesch?, and lils zeal ia the spiritual weffare of the Catholics of Charles? ton, do for themselves, and the whole Catholic population, tender to the Rev. Father their cordial and most sincere thanks, and extend to him their best wishes tor Ids happiness in life, and promise their prayers for his eternal reward. Resolved, That the Rev. Father Garesch? be enrolled as an honorary uember of the In? stitute, and that this resolution bc communi? cated to him by the secretary. The Institute has now a fine hall, an excel? lent library, a large and Increasing member? ship, and there is every probability that, be? fore many months elapse, it will be lu as flourishing a condition as it was previous to he war. So mote it be. THE PORT ROTAL RAILROAD.-It will be seen by a notice in another column, that five hun? dred laborers and rough carpenters are wanted immediately to work on the Port Royal Rail? road. Thc wages offered are liberal, and the rations particularly jood, Including an allow? ance of grog twice a day. See advertisement. JEALOUSY THE CAUSE OF TROUBLE.-A man named Frank Oliver, having deposed before Magistrate T. J. Mackey that while eating din? ner with a woman named Carrie Jenkins, on Sunday, a girl named Iffy Jenkins cautiously opened a window and showered a number of bricks on them, smashing the crockery-ware and doing him bodily Injury, tho justice had Any arrested and bound over to keep the peace. Shortly after, Oliver again appeared at the justice's office and stated that while quietly walking through Elliott street he had been set upon by three women, (friends of AfTy) and that lils safety was solely due to his ;imasterly retreat." The women, whose namesare Fran? ces Robertson, Mary Williams and Annie How? ard,' were arrested and bound over to appear. It appears that Jealousy ls the cause of all this trouble. DEPARTURE OF THE "SOUTH CAROLINA" ANOTHER LARGE CARGO.-Captain Sim Adkins steamed off for New York late yesterday after? noon with another of what appears to be a regular series of mammoth cargoes, inaugu? rated by this "new iron line." The policy seems to be to fill the "Tennessee" and "South Carolina" every week, encourage ?ocal trade, and invite distant business, pnd this explains the success which flows In a steady current to" these fine steamers. The list of exports, in another column, shows the volume of business pressing forward weekly to this popular and accommodating steam line, 3000 packages of potatoes, Ac appearing on the list. The "South Carolina" carried, also, her usual com? plement of passengers, and we notice by the list that our city folks have begun their sum? mer expeditions for health and pleasure. May they all have a pleasant journey and safe re? turn. _ CRUMB?.-Peter Boyd, colored, charged with maliciously shooting a colored, woman, has been balled^o appear lor trial.

Addresses, interesting and Instructive, were delivered by Rev. Messrs. A. Toomer Porter aod C. C. Pinckney, who also chatcclsed the children, they responding promptly and cor? rectly. The exercises, which were very interesting, were concluded about 7 P. M. TUE REPUDIATION SCHEME. A Kew Way to Pay Old Debts-The Other Side of the Question-What Good Faith on the Part of the City Requires. TO TOE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. The late meeting of certain taxpayers of the city, taken in connection with the apparent apathy of the Council on the subject of the city debt, points ominously to an effort to re? pudiate the greater portion ol that debt, and this isjustiiied on'the ground of the sup? posed illegality of the subscription by the city to certain railroad shares. The tone of the Charleston lawyer on this subject is calculated to mislead the public mind, to convey thc no? tion that a tyrannical legislation forced a hate? ful debt upon au unwilling city, when the fact is that tile few citizens who opposed those subscriptions shrank from the odium of op? posing it, and one citizen alone dared appear openly to question the right of the Council to make those subscriptions. In 1354, after the subscription to the Blue Ridge Railroad had been made, but before cer? tificates were issued, this gentleman, applied to the courts lor an injunction to restrain the Council from issuing them, on thc ground of want of authority. I cannot now recall the history of the case, uor explain the dilatory action of the court, but, pending the case, the Legislature met, and passed an act not only conferring such powers, under certain condi? tions, but ratifying all subscriptions which hacL already been made. The act may be found in "Acts of Assembly, 1854." On this ratifica? tion, this debt has ever since been considered a sale investment, and to the faith ol the city has been confided large amounts for trusts, for women and others. For sixteen years, the reliance on the good faith of the city has made it a depository for ail such sacred funds. The holders of this debt suffered patiently during thc late suspension of payment, and they have since beeu taxed by both city and State to about a third ol their incomes. It is now pro? posed to drive them to poverty in order that other property-holders may be relieved. They have as good a right to their property as these to theirs, who now propose to ruin them. Let the taxpayers aad the Council show a dis position to act fairly; the creditors will doubt Jess gladly meet them lu a spirit of accommo? dation. But what can they do but urge their claim* to the letter, when the Council will do nothing, and taxpayers threaten repudiation ? _ _ "JOSTICE. BUSINESS NOTICES.
