Pass there when you will, winter or summer, morning or afternoon, and yon will see congregated around the doors of that temple of justice knots of idle civilians, not remarkable, however, either for their clvkMty or-, their cleanli? ness.' The pavement-In that vlclulty, ai also the Courthouse steps, , are always strewn with 'goober"shells, or eovered with Qlthy tobacco juice. Why ls this thus? Has the public (jther than the loafers a'oresaid) no rights? Is there no one to abate this nuisance? Where is the police, and where are the c. unty commissioners?

CLUBS AND STAUS.-The Mayor's docket yes? terday boasted but a single case of an offender against the law and order of the city. Johu Hef? feron, a colored juveuile, had gone Into the en? tertainment of the Quadrille Association, at ihe Military Hal!, Wednesday evening, and attracted by a tempting display of the "Shoo fly" prize candy, had attempted to appropriate several packages. Bot .'oho was not sharp enough. The oropriet'ir of the sweets detected him In the act and seized him with the stolen property about his person. John wi.s turned over to thc pp ice, and af-er a solitary night In the Guardhouse, con? fronted the div judiciary D>xt morning on the aditttlouiil charge of vagrant. The property having: been restored to the owner! ?he piLsoner was sent tu the House of Correction for five days, under the vagrant law. DISASTER TO A CHARLESTON-BOUND VESSEL. tbs schooner AnuleMagee, R. C. Young, master, sailed on or ainu' the 3d A?>rll .'rora Pulla telp ila for Charleston, laden with an assorted cargo. She became dismasted, and was towed Into Balti? more by the steamship Saragossa, of the Balti? more and Savannah Line. The agents of the Philadelphia underwriters (where about three fourths of the cargo ls insured) went to Balti? more, and. after consultation between .Captain Young. Messrs. Andrews A Co., the agents of che Saragossa, and said acents, the rate of salvage was fixed at twenty per cent, on theve-sel and cargo; aod lt was decided to be for the Interest or aU concerned that the v< yagebe abandoned at Baltimore, the -clumner waiving freight, to avoid the heavy expense or storing the cargo there, as lt will take a considerable lime to repair the ves? sel. The cars-! has been shipped by thu sea Gull. The average will be adjusted in Baltimore, where the voyage terminated. Consignees will be re? quired to sign au average bond, and mak? a de? posit er rorty per cent, of the o mtrlbutory value, with Messrs. W. B. Heriot A Co., an order fr-m whom will be necessary before the goods will be delivered. THE SCHUTZENEEST. Fourth Day. The partial clearing up, about noon yester? day, brought the usual gay crowd of visitors to the festival, and railroad, steamboat and omni? buses were well patronized. The grounds were all the fresher and greener for the shower on the preceding day, and on every side music and merry voices greeted the ear. The threatening clouds which prevented numbers from visiting the "fest"' daring the morning grew stdl more lowering iu the afternoon, and a Utile after 3 o'clock the raia came down rn torrents. This un? favorable diversion put an ead at once to all out? door amusements, and-the main building soon was filled to Its utmost capacity. The ball-room grew Immensely p- pular, and while the rain kept np on the outside the dancing was all the merrier within. On the floor beneath, ttie bowling alleys were called Into energetic requisition, and In spite of the inclemency of the weather all seemed to enjoy themselves. Sheltered from the stormy blast, the Sch?tzen kept up a steady fire from the shooting boxes, but the centre was hard to hit In the driving rain and Btrong wind. As anticipated, the eagle was demolished, and the last piece came to the ground from a shot by Mr. Ben. Bequest, of Mount Pleas? ant. This was the triumph of the day, and the lucky marksman will be the king for the coming year. The bird was in such a wofully shattered condition after thc sao ting of the previous days that its members failed tr come lown whole, and the two raises which remained were each claim? ed by two marksmen. Mr. Behre, the jeweller, shot away a portion of the left wing, and Mr. Theodore Melchers the rest, which ls supposed to be the largest portion. The right claw was shot away partly by Mr. H. F. Bbnneman, and partly by Mr. John Monsees. In each ui these cases the fragments will be weighed, and the prize award? ed to the rifleman ?vin shot away the heaviest part. Owing to the distressing condition of the riddled bird, the left wing and tal!, 'which w?re cut to pieces by the bullets on the previous days, blew down, and could not be replaced. In this case the prizes offerei for theai will revert to the club. Among the visitors to-day were the children from the Confederate Home, who entered into the amusements with all theze6t of .youth, every one of the sports being invested for them with the charm of novelty. About 4 o'clock, after a brotherly farewell to the club, the visiting meinbeni of the Sew York and Brooklyn Sch?tzen Corps were escorted by a large number of the German Rifle Club to the end of the avenue, aceompauled by a fine band of music, and, arter mauy a hearty "God speed you," they entered the carriages in walting and rode to their quarters in the city. ' They left yes? terday afternoon on the Northeastern Railroad for their homes In the North. It affords us much pleasure to be able to state that these visiting sch?tzen expressed themselves greatly pleased with the attention they received during their stay in Charleston. They invited not only the German Sch?tzen, but also the ohleers and members of fie several native rifle clubs to their festival, which is to come off lu July, In thc City of New York, stating that they would eu deavrr then to extend the same hospitality to their Charleston visitors that has been so cor? dially and bountifully me ed out to them during their brief sojourn in the Palmetto City-not ou ly by their German hosts, but by the community at large. To-day ls the last and greatest day or the fe-tl - vel. The orator of the day. James Minoan, Jr., Esq., will deliver an address, at the c!o-e of which the king will be crowned. The queen, by him selected. will thereupon have a coronet placed upon her young and beautiful brow. The prizes are to be distributed. There will bs speeches of course : and a number of balloons will be sent up, to be followed, upon the setting In of night, by ageoeral ilium) na> ion with Chinese lanterns and a splendid display of fireworks. Barry Leslie, the acrobat who performed at the Sch?tzenfest last year, had again been engaged, and thc committee have his letters promising to be present ; hence his name appeared In the ad vertised programme up to the very commence? ment of the fest. But when lt was evident that he would not come, the committee, desirous to make some compensation to the.r visitors for thu ab? sence of this promised amusement, engaged an additional baud of music, who have beeu'playlng (outside of the dancing hall) for the diversion of the general public. OUR PEEDEE STEAMERS.-We noticed, a few days since, that the veteran Captain J. T. Foster, who has been so successful a navigator on thc Peedee ami santee Rivers, was superintending the construction of a new boat for the trade. This steamer was successfully launched yesterday morning rum the place where she was built on South Colon wharf, and is now getting ihu fiuishing touches before entering on ber careel, She is called the "Benn, ttsvillc." in comp linent to the county seat of Marlboro', which is the centre of a rich aaa prosperous revlon. Her build ls of tho stern whee.' pattern, very successful in shallow streams of very light draft, will 0 ist in almost a dry river, and is of great carrying capacity. She was constructed ny Messrs. J. G. A I). C. .Marsh, wnose names have for a long period been connected willi thc shipbuilding in tcrest of charleston, and the machinery by Messrs. Essen A Brother, well known machinists. With such faithful contractors, ene may oe con? sidered strong and reliable for any work which she may be called up n to perform. The "Ben nettsvllle" will run on the Peedee in connection with the steamer Planter, now nuder Captain Cordes, au experienced and capable otllctr, and both boats will be under the supervision of Cap? tain Foster.

TUE ACADEMY OF MUSIC LAST NIOBT.- Not? withstanding the bad weather, a large audience greeted Bishop and Ute Chapman sisters on their return to charleston ami appearance last eve? ning. The comedy selected for the performance was "Married Life," and although lt ha3 twice been well played la Charleston, lt seemed pos? sessed of new caarnis, as rendered last eve nlng. Bishop as Mr. Henry D we *ept the house in a roar with his "pronunciation" and drollery, while Blanche as Mrs. Dove bravely held her own in all the matrimonial squabbles. Mrs. Chapman played Mrs. Coddle superbly. Mr. Joseph Parker does everything with grace, taste aud a full ap? preciation of his art as an actor. Ella Improves every time she appears upon the stagfe, and ia her lively, animated way, handsomely sustained her part last evening. Taken all in all, "Married Life" was asucciss, and pu;- theaudience In the ut. most good humor. The clog dauce by Cooper and Fields followed the comedy. This ls a highly artistic performance, well w orth seeing, for. the two men move like a single machine. "Pocahon? tas," the burlesque, wa3 simply im meuse. lt ls. | Impossible to describe tfie jolly scenes ami songs, the fearful puns, thc odd situations, and fantastic surroundings generally which tilled an hour, and seat every one home happy. Pocahontas, the beautiful and undutiful savage, dressed, warbled and talked as sweetly as if she had Just stepped off a rainbow, while Ella, as Captain John Smith looked as much like a full dressed cnpld as ? first-class lover. Oue of the scenes in the'first act, painted for the occasion, deserves notice. It represented a series of wigwams artistically painted, and severally lettered: THE CHARLES?
