Council,) should not be continued. It wul be remembered that Judge Willard ordered that -the sher UT should be restalned until the flUng of the answer In the cause of the City Council vs. tho executors of George Gibbon, or until . the fi other order of the court having compe ' tent, uris diet ion: and that as soon as the an? swer was flied by the counsel of the executors, y^herUr Mackey reoffered the city property for sale.

It prevents the radiation of | heat from bodies having a high temperature, '-. and will save from 20 to 40 per cent, of the fuel. It protects water pipes, cisterns and similar receptacles from the frost La winter, abd ice? houses and iron buildings from the heat in -summer.

"Parental LOYt-Its Nature, Dattes and Trials." The Hibernian. Hall was thronged to Its ut? most capacity, last night, by those anxious to hear the lecture of the Rev. Father Garesch? .upon "Parental Love-Its Nature, Duties and Trials.'' There was not standing room in the hall, nor on the stage, on which were the Catholic clergy and some of our most promi? nent citizens. Shortly after 8 o'clock, Father Garesch? stepped to the front ol the stage, and, address? ing the andlence, expressed his gratitude for the compliment paid him, and hoped that any defects that might be observed In his lecture would be excused, as he had just risen from a sick bed, to which he had been confined for some days. PARENTAL LOVE. The speaker then commenced his lecture by describing the affections of the heart, the first of which was the affection between man and man and man and woman, whian was known as friendship. This- affection, which was the theme of the poet, and frequently described In both sacred and profane history, was pure and simple, and constituted a tie which gave man strength of purpose and ennobled his nature. Another of the affections was love, not the sensuous, sexual love, of which the poet treats, but the blending of two souls into one, the love of man and wife. Next, parental love, which was the purest, grandest and most beautiful of all the natural affections. The love of parents for their offspring was like that ot Christ for the souls He came to redeem like the love of God for his creatures. After dwelling at length upon the unselfishness of a parent's love, and upon its holy nature, the speaker directed .the attention of his hearers to m'fi?TiES. The fl rsc duty of a parent, said he, ls love. Who could help loving the little angel which had been sent to take up its abode with them ? But how little do parents realize the true love they should give their offspring. To feed, clothe and educate the child seems to be the whole extent of the love of some parents. There should always be present to the child the evidence of his parents' love. OT what use is the father's reproof or advice, or the frown on the mother's brow, if the Idea ts not conveyed with them that it ls their very love which causes the reproof or the frown ? A father who does not thus show his love for his offspring at all times, does not do his duty; and the mother who does not-but such a woman is no woman-she is a parody, a caricature of woman. Love must be shown in the eye and on the Hp. Do not say that this is un? necessary-that a child will not observe it. A child is wonderfully acute, and observes close? ly. See how, out of a number of strangers in a room, he will at once select the one who loves children, and go to him with all the trust and confidence of childhood. The next duty is the education of children-an educa? tion that has to be given before that which is acquired at the school or the college. The father and mother must study the character of the child. This study will enable them to cor? rect the faults of the child as he grows older. The speaker then dwelt upon the delights of home and Its advantages, and denounced the hotel, club and boarding-house (where it was not unavoidable) where there was no home life, and where the parents had no opportunity of studying the character of their children. A mother, said he, is the first Instructor. A dis? tinguished author has said that a child ^ like a rough block of marble, out of which the sculp? tor with bia chisel can fashton either a fiend or an angel. So can the mother mould ont of that seeming Inert block of marble the noblest of natures. She must not scold him from her, but must Sympathize with him, listen patiently to Edi of his troubles, and thus will she learn his true character. In her work, she will be as? sisted by the calm judgment of the father, who will thus correct the defects which the blind? ness of a mother's love may have overlooked. But the.good example of each will serve more than all things else to impress upon the child's mind the truths they have taught him. If the rather be not always respectful and kind to the mother, how will the child learn that re? spect for the sex which is agrace to the man? ly and chivalrous ? Unless the wife he always respectful and loving to her husband, how can she expect ber child to obey, when she in? structs the child to reverence and obey him. TRIALS. The delight of a man in bis wife and child, the bright picture of his babe at home with his wife,(which he carried to,through, and from his work, ) and of his wife's Joy with her child, were glowingly described by the speaker, who then proceeded to show what was one of the great? est trials of parental love, that ls the mainte? nance of the child when poverty com*?s; and. without work and unable to get it, he sees bis child sinking slowly for want ot tbe nourish? ment he could not give. In this connection the speaker described the strength of a moth? er's love for her child, and related an incident of a shipwreck, where a mother and a child were left alone on a rudely-constructed raft, and who, to supply ber babe with nourishment, with her teeth lacerated her veins and arteries, and with her life-blood the babe was kept alive, while she died from the loss of thlsVery blood. Another trial said the speaker, was the loss of a babe whose presence had gladdened the hearts of Its parents, and in pathetic language he portrayed their grief, especially that of the mother. At this time there was scarcely a dry eye In the hall. In concluding this recital, he said that none but a woman could portray the anguish of a mother's heart, and then read a part of the following poem by Hiss Proctor, which, by request of a large number ot ladies and gentlemen, we publish entire': Links In Heaven. BT ADELAIDE ANKH PROCTOR. L . Oar Qod In heaven, from that holy place To each of us an angel guide hath given; But mothers or dead children have more grace, For they give angels to their Ood and heaven. II. How can a mother's heart feel cold or weary, Knowing her dearer self, aafe, happy, warm; How can she feel her road too dark or dreary, Who knows her treasure sheltered from the storm. III. How can she sin? Our hearts may be unheed? ing; Oar God forgot; our holy saints defled; But eau a mother hear her dead child pleading, And thrust those attic angel hands aside? iv. Those little hands stretched down to draw her ever - Nearer to God by mother-love: we all Are blind ami weak, yet surely she can never, With sucliT stake In heaven, fall or falL She knows that when the mighty angels raise Chorus In heaven, o ie little silver tone Is hers forever; that one little praise. One little happy voice, ls all her own. vi. We may not see her sacred crown of honor, But all the angels, flitting to and fro, Pause smiling, as they pass-they look upon her AS mother of an angel whom they know, vn. One whom tbev left nestled at Mary's feet The ohltdren's place In Heaven-who softly sings A little ohant to please them, slow and sweet, Or smiling, strokes their little folded wings. rm, Or gives them her white lilies or her beads To play with; yet. In spite of flower or song, They often lift a wistful look that pleads, And asks her why their mother stays so long. IX. Then our dear Queen makes answer, she will sall Her very soon; meanwhile they are beguiled To walt and listen while she tells them all A story of her Jesns as a child. x. Ah! Saints In Heaven may pray with earnest will, And pity, for their weak and erring brothers; Yet there ls prayer In Heaven more tender still The little children pleading for their mothers. But, said the speaker, the trials above re? ferred to-not even death-are not the greatest of trials to parents. He then pictured the agony endured by those parents whose sons and daughters, who had been carefully reared, for? got their parent's love and strayed from the paths of virtue and rectitude, into those of misery, shame and crime. All of these trla's have to be endured, said the lecturer; but tboM ls a consolation even for such trials as '.li*.6e it ls the Angel of God, Religion, which will pour the balm of relief into the wounded heart. The above sketch of the lecture does, as we are aware, Father Garech? an Injustice, as would even a full report. He possesses all the elements of an orator, and one to appreciate his eloquence and wondrous descriptive pow? ers must hear him. PHOSPHATES. The History of the Recent Detective System upon " Phosphate Grabbers" Chamberlain vs. Scott. Several days ago THE NEWS mentioned that Messrs. N. A. Quinn and A. Habenicht had been appointed to investigate the operations of certain parties who were taking phosphates from the beds o? the Stono and other naviga? ble waters of the State, in violation of an act of the recent Legislature, which granted to Messrs. G. W. Williams <k Co., C. C. Coe, et ai, the "right to dig, mine and remove" phos? phates and phosphatic deposits from the beds 'of the navigable streams and waters of the State; and that these appointees had reported several parties who were engaged in remov? ing phosphates from the bed of the Stono River. A few days after this item appeared, Gov? ernor Scott was informed of the reported ap? pointment of these men, and on Monday last Mr. John Heart, the private secretary of the Governor, wrote to the chief of police of this city, stating that he was directed by the Gov? ernor to acknowledge the receipt of the chiefs letter, in reference to the alleged "appoint? ment by him of two detectives for the^ purpose of preventing poor men from digging phos? phates In the creeks and navigable streams and rivers, and to Inform him that he had made no such appointment, and that the rumor is to? tally without foundation," and that1 -the Gov? ernor does not consider the law of last session (the act above referred to) as conferring ex? clusive rights or privileges upon any persons or parties to mine and collect phosphates In the rivers and streams of the' State; but that all who pay the royalty imposed by that act upon the quantity collected are equally enti? tled to do so." The above statement does not exactly tally with the following paragraphs lu the message of the Governor on March 1st, 1870, vetoing the bill he refers to above : The exclusive nature of the grant 1s also objectionable. I am aware that the word "ex? clusive" was stricken from the bill during its consideration, by which it was proposed to di? vest it of the odium of being a monopoly, but this was counteracted hy the defeat of other bills, which proposed To throw the business open to competition, and especially to indivi? dual competitors, wno would comply with the prescribed regulations. The defeat of these bilis was, In my opinion, unfortunate, and left the corporators under the present act as the only persons authorized to dig and mine for phosphates In the navi? gable streams and waters of the State. Ali others must be considered trespassers, liable to arrest, and punishable by fine and imprison? ment. And if the State has the right to con? fer this grant, lt may be called upon by the grantees to protect them In the exercise of Its firivUeges, by the removal and punishment of ut ruders, a duty which, from the large extent or territory embraced by the grant, and the temptations and facilities for its violation, would involve the State lu a heavy expense .md extensive litigation. However, the Governor throws ofT of his shoulders any blame that might be attached to him for appointing two detectives to prevent poor men from digging phosphates. But the Governor's construction of the provisions of the bill Is entirely different from that ot Attor? ney-General Chamberlain, who, with all due deference to his Excellency, all will admit is more capable of construing the laws of the State correctly, as will be seen by the sub Joined history or the appointment of those two detectives, furnished us by one who knows all about the matter. Not long aine? thc Attorney-General was notified that parties connected with wealthy corpora ions were intruding upon the rights and properly of the State by diggiug and re? moving phosphates from the beds of the Stono and other rivers within the limits of the State. The Attorney-General, believing it high time to Interfere in the matter, authorized Major D. T. Corbin to make inquiries, and ?* the information was correct, to bring suit In his (the Attorney General's) name against all parties thus In? truding. Major Corbin then employed Messrs'. Quinn and Habernlcht, who "were instructed to look after the 'big fish,' (the wealthy cor? porations,) as suits were to be commenced, first of all, against responsible parties." . . The detectives reported Captain Henry Prince, commanding the Odd FeUow, of 60 tons; Samuel Preguall, of the Chlcora, of 20 tons; Patrick Powers, owner ol the John Brothers, ot 23 tons; John Lltgen, owner of the Willie, of 15 tons; C. and F. DegnaU, owners of the Rebecca, of 20; Jack of 50; Juila of 30; Pauline of 60, and Herald of 40 tons, all of which vessels, lt is alleged, were in the Stono River loading with phosphates. Against these parties, by virtue of an act to define the duties of the attorney-general, which provides that he may, when In his judg? ment the Interest ot the State requires lt, file and prosecute informations or other process against parties who intrude upon the lands, rights or other property ot the State, suits for damages have been instituted; and to-day, be? fore Judge Carpenter, Attorney-General Cham? berlain will move for an injunction restraining them from removing phosphates from the Stono River, the navigable rivers, and other waters of the State.

The question ls very generally asked among bnsiness men, what has caused the rapid decline of the precious metals : Of $946,000,000 of gold the United States mint has coined since 1792, $844,000,000 lins been issued since 1850. The papers appear to think the appre? ciation of the currency is owing to a redundancy of specie in the great Ananda! centres of Europe, and as long as the cotton crop and other products are going out, and a large amount of United States and other securities are exported to bal? ance the trade against us, there will be no de? mand for gold. Thia may or may not se the true reason ; but while the ^precious metals are steadily declining in value, a popular article of trade is as steadily appreciating In the estimation of the people North, South, East and West. Unlike gold, the circulation of this sterUng commodity to be? come general, and the demand enormous-it ls called for far and near, and taken with confi? dence by every one-we allude to "thetonic of t?nica," SOLOMONS'S BITTERS. jnn21-tnths3 YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY HAVING YOUR PRINTING EXECUTED AT THE NEWS JOB OFFICE. ?-ORDERS PROMPTLY FILLED.-5? pf MANHOOD. -A MEDICAL ESSAY on the Cause and Cure of Decline la Premature Man, the treatment or Nervous and Physical De? bility, Ac.

ALLAYS INFLAMMATION OP TEE GUMS, CURRA CHOLIC, CHOLERA INFANTUM, DYSENTERY, AMD ALL DISEASES TO WHICH CHILDREN ARK SUBJECT WHEN TEETHINO. CONTAINS NO ANODYNE. RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL ls offeree o the pubUc with an absolute guarantee against all danger from Its use. Read the following certln CHARLESTON, May 16,1868. Mr. J. B. RUSSELL, one of our careful and tntel ligen t Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of Its safe and efficient adaptation to the particular cases of the diseases of children, which lt ls designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints in children and delicate females, I have been much pleased with its effects. I consider it a valuable medicine In all cases, bi which lt may be advisable to avoid the ase of anodyne, and par? ticularly for ramlly use, as lt ls perfectly safe. W. T. WRAGG, M. D. CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. I certify that I have most successfuUy used RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial In the Summer Com? plaints of infants. He has fully exhibited the In? gredients of his remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a most safe and efficacious one In bowel affections of children. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre? scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age of the patient. The compound, thongh more often, acts In an efficient manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. In the Diarrhoea of the aged, In Increased doses, lt ls of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with the stomach-increasing appetite, Im? proving digestion, and acting as a slow but effi? cient astringent agent. W. M. FITCH, M. D. 3 CHARLESTON, S. O., 1868. Dear Slr-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea In teething children, and find it a very excellent preparation. It has a great advantage over most preparations of the kind In containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can bc added ta proportions applicable to the case. I therefore can recommend Its use lu the affec? tions for which lt li designed. Respectfully yours, Ac, T. L. OG 1ER, M. D. MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 1868. Mr. J. n. ?usseU : DEAR SUI-I have used your Soothing Cordial for children extensively In my practice, and most cheerfuUy testify to Its merits. I have found lt, without an exception, to accomplish all lt claims, and co nader it superior to anything m ose for children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recom? mends lt as a perfectly safe preparation in the hands of mothers and inexperienced nurses. Very respectfully, Ac, D. R. WILLIAMS, M. D. Made by J. B.
