THE GERMAN JUBILEE. Tprnn OAT OF TSE SCH?TZENFEST. Whit the Rlfl?tfaea are About-Dissect? ing the Eagle-The Ladles at tue Guns-Prizes, Sic. The bright, clear spring weather ot yester? day was most propitious for the merry-makers at the festival, and brought the Inhabitants of | the city to this holiday retreat in much larger numbers than on the preceding days. A most j agreeable breeze had cleared away the dust of Tuesday, and the bright green foliage of the trees and the smooth grassy lawn presented a refreshing spectacle to the visitors as they arrived In throngs from the city. The grounds never showed to more advantage, and the bright and varied colors of innumerable flags fluttering In the breeze from the tastily dressed booths lent a pleasing and animated air to the scene which at once charmed and delighted the spectator. From every quarter the sounas of enjoyment were to be heard; as J the children pursued their games, tbe crowd cheered the sports going on, and from some neighboring booth a chorus of manly voices trolled some favorite air, recalling the memo? ries of the distant Fatherland. The indefatigable marksmen began early, and were at work all day. The shooting grows more accurate daily, and centre shots are neither few nor lar between. To carry off the first prize was at first the hope of many, bat the field has now been reduced to two crack shots, who have distanced all competi? tors. These two are at the shooting stand ear^and late, and the precision with which they put their bullets through the white ls wonderful to behold. During yesterday's shoot? ing three hundred and twenty-two centre shots were made, a large Increase on those of the preceding day, which shows the increas? ing accuracy of the marksmen. THE EAGLE SHOOTING was kept up with unabated Interest, and forms the chief excitement at the stand. The first mark In the morning was the sceptre, which, after several rounds, was struck by Hr. T. Hanckel, of the Carolina Rifle Club. It re? mained attached by a splinter during another round, when, as Hr. Hanckel was again about to Are, the sceptre fell to the ground. The preceding shot was fired by Hr. H. Williams, J j o? the Carolinas. The next aim was the right [ claw, which, alter numerous shot?, was neat? ly brought down by Hr. A. F. Heyer, one of j the best shots ot the German Rifle Club. The neck was next shot away by Mr. F. Wletera, of the German Rifle Club, and was the last prize won before the firing ceased. ? The royal bird presents now a most forlorn , appearance, the wings and body being only j left, but to those parts the most valuable [ prizes attach. The first mark to-day will be < the left wing. j The target of Honor was also shot at by < twenty-one more members of the German j Rifle Club. Eleven ot the shots struck in the j green, but ?he bull's-eye ls yet untouched. < While the gentlemen are thus employed the ( ladies are also busy in the shooting gallery y devoted to their use, on the point ol land In , the rear of the cottage. A neat arbor, about ( fifteen paces long, ls here erected, at the en- | trance of which is a rest for the marks women, t and at the further end a small target adjusted t to the wau. The shooting Implements consist / of two air-guna with which the fair compet?- f tors, at times, strike the centre with the most creditable skill. They shoot for prizes too, i and the following ls a list of the articles won t and the winners : li . First Day-First prize, cordial set, Hrs. H. s Harms; second priz-?, tollet set, Hrs. L. Krae- p mer. A Second Day-First prize, cap and saucer, j Mrs. A. Guilfus; second prize, lady's co m pan t lon, won by same lady. d Third Day-First prize, satchel, Hrs A. Gell fus; second prize, water caraffe, Hrs. H. Harms; third prize, faB, Hrs. Heinz; fourth 3 prize, cup and saucer, Hrs. Hosimann. To-day a still more valuable set of prizes 1 will be put up for the contest, and the compe- 1 tition promises to be very exciting. i THRONGS OF VISITORS. 1 The afternoon seems to be the favorite time t for visiting the Platz, and about lour o'clock e the crowd thickened, and the throngs In- c creased until between two and three thousand persons must have been congregated upon the ( greunds. The amusement committee were fertile in resource?,"and each hour some novel, y mirth-Inspiring device greeted the crowd. The pole-olimblng, egg-hunting, oigar smok- { lng, bucket tilting, Ac., were all in tull blast, ( and in every quarter apes, minstrels, games, ?oK drew their own particular circle of admir- . ( ere. Prominent among the amusements Is the fine bowling saloon of Messrs. Semken & Pi eper. It contains four fine alley?, which are In constant use, and afford an unending diver- j alon to the male visitors. The proprietors t keep their saloon well up to the mark, and de- j serve the. large patronage which they receive. , The dancing hali ls always a favorite resort, ( and one continuous ball, with the best of < muslo, makes the happiness of the Terpslcho- E rean artists complete. j At four o'clock Professor Bond appeared ] upon the top of the main building, and for an ] hour kept the crowd In an excitement by his daring perambulations and break-neck gym? nastic feats upon the tense wire. A new tea- 1 ture in his exhibition yesterday was his walk- < lng; over the wire with a chair, and wtien in ? the centre taking his seat in It Turk-fashion, f with the bars of the chair resting upoa the ? wire. ( Altogether, yesterday was one of the pleas- f antest days at the Platz, and the most success- 1 ful. The fine day was partly the cause of this, 1 but much ls due to the orderly and decorous 1 manner in which the whole festival ls con- 1 ducted. As hosts the German Club pay the * Btrtctest attention to the comforts and pleas- ' ore of their guest*, and every effort ls made f to amuse the visitors. Those who have not 1 yet gone have pleasure in store, and all who < wijfh to laugh and grow fat, and spend a few < hours in pleasant recreation, should pay a < visit to the Sch?tzenfest, The steamers of the Mount Pleasant and Sullivan's Island Ferry Company will leave South Atlantic wharf at 12.30, 3 and 5.15 P. H., and returning will leave the wharf at the |1 Schutzenplatz at 1.30,4 and 7.15 P. H. The South Carolina Railroad trains will j1 leave Ann street for the Piatz at 9 A. H. and every twenty minutes thereafter, and will leave the Platz for the city five minutes after their arrival. The following is TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME. 1. The riflemen meet at the Platz. 2.

Mr. Owens opens at the Academy next Tuesday evening, and contin? ues Wednesday and Thursday evenings only, the pressure of Northern engagements pre? venting a longer season. He deserves and will, doubtless, receive an enthusiastic wel? come, as he is beyond a question the most ac? complished actor lu his peculiar line of com? edy now on the American stage. O a his first night Mr. Owens appears in his great specialty of Solon Shingle, in which character he is simply irresistible; and all who desire a hearty laugh should go to witness his droll adven? tures In search of that "barr'l of apple sass'' that was "strayed, lost or stolen." On the following nights Mr. Owens appears in the Heir at Law, The Happiest Day of my Life, Everybody's Friend, and The Forty Winks. A Suggestion. CHARLESTON, S. C., April 24. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. As the approach of warm weather makes it nnlikely that our theatrical Armament will be dazzled with the presence of any bright pro? fessional star for some time, the introduction of amateur performances for laudable objects should be encouraged. To further this end will THE-NEWS consider a movement to Invite the members of our Legislature to repeat the play of "The Bobbers," (recently presented at the Academy by the Bruderliche Bund,) wltb the understanding that the proceeds of the exhibition be devoted towards defraying the expenses of the State Lunatic Asylum ? If the members act naturally, they must necessarily "take." They always do. _TAXPAYERS. THE FEAST OF PASSOVER. This memorable Jewish festival commenced on Monday evening last, the 22d Instant, and will contlnne during eight day?, daring which time no leavened bread is found within the habitation of the orthodox Israelite, nor any solid or liquid food which ls produced by fer? mentation. Among the orthodox portion of the Jewish community the first and last two days of the festival are kept as strictly as the Sabbath. Business is entirely suspended, the morning md evening services In the synagogues are I well attended, and the religious duties of the season are rigidly complied with. The inter? mediate days are ot no particular import, ex sept as to the abstinence from the use of un* leavened foed. and the eating of matzoth, or I unleavened bread, which is composed of lour and water, and baked so quickly as to I preclude the possibility of iermenting. The orthodox Jews hold in great reverence the I lr it two evenings of the festival, wblch are I lenomloated "Sedar nights," from a peculiar I emily service.

THE COURTS YESTERDAY. m Voltea States Circuit Court. THE KU-KLUX CABES. Tbere were no trials Ia any of the Ku-Klnx cases yesterday In the United States Circuit Court. Andrew J. Marlin, James A. Sanders and William D. Barnes, cf York County, plead* ed guilty upon charges of conspiracy In viola? tion of the act of May 31, 1870; and David Bansier, indicted for conspiracy and the mur? der of Tom Roundtree, pleaded guilty to the first charge, upon the charge of murder being abandoned by the government. District Attorney Corbin then stated that the prosecution had no other cases prepared for trial except that of Robert Biggins which had been fixed by the court for Thursday. He had, he said, proposed to the counsel for defendant to begin the case then instead of walting until Thursday, and, as lt would doubtless occupy all of one day to get through with the wit? nesses lor the government, the defence would not be called upon to produce their witnesses until Thursday, the time fixed by the court for the trial. Colonel Hamilton, the counsel for the de? fendant, replied that he could not commit himself to that course. The court had assigned Thursday for the trial of the case, and the de? fendant had summoned his witnesses accord? ingly. They would be ready for trial on the day that had been fixed, but were not prepar? ed to go to trial then. Judge Bond decided that the case could not be called unless the counsel consented, and Mr. Corbin announcing that there were no other cases of this kind ready for trial the court proceeded with the other criminal busi? ness upon the docket. REVENUE CASES. Elias Fowler was arraigned upon a charge of carrying on the business of a distiller with? out paying the special tax, and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to pay a flue of one thous and dollars and be imprisoned for six months.

"TBE NEWSPAPER PRESS OF, CHARLESTON, S. O.,? A Forthcoming Work, by Wm. L. King. Our State has a history, and a glorious one. From the day the English Colonists landed on these shores to the present time of manly fortitude and endurance, there ls nothing In our history tbat ls not calculated to Inspire admiration. The first Colonists, who landed at Port Royal 17ih March, 1670, brought with them the laws of civilization of tbe "mother country."' Buch a people could not long be without their schools and printing offices and newspapers. A newspaper was the jour? nal of civilization then as it is now. It re? corded then, as lt does now, every item of historical Importance.- A continuous filo of] newspapers ls nearly sufficient In itself for the compilation of a local history. Customs and manners, trade and commerce, agriculture and mechanical Improvements, statistics and religion, biographical notices, the prominent Incidents cf peace and the stirring news of war, are all brought-before us as vividly BB though we lived at the time and received fresh from the press the weekly or dally chronicle of events. We offer our friendly recognition of the ser? vice rendered by Mr. Wm. L. King to all lov? ers of old Carolina by his volume on "The Newspaper Presi of Charleston, S. C." For a white we lorget the present; we live in the past. The;Colonlal Assembly ls passing reso? lutions to encourage a printer to come hither -a small weekly paper is leaned-the fore? runner ol half a century of many of stronger wing and flight; the war ol the revolution ap? proaches, and, like a dark cloud, passes away; new days dawn upon an Independent people, and self-government evokes their mental energy In essay and discussion. The editor becomes as important a character as the popular orator; he wields an influence as great; he speaks daily to the people and for the people. In this record of "The Newspaper Press of I Charleston" there come before us, with edi- [ torlal pen In hand, Thomas Whitman!), the Timothys, Wm. Crafts, Edmund Morford, Hen? ry L. Pinckney, Isaac Barby, James Wright Simons, Wm. Gilmore Simms, John A. Stuart, Ac, Ac. The history of the newspaper press of no other city can exhibit a superiority to ours In the unselfish patriotism, the ability and cour? tesy wblch shonld characterize journalism. While this ls prominently set forth by Mr. King, he traces the varying fortunes of the newspaper enterprises begun in this city-the rising and setting ot larger and smaller lumi? naries-and intersperses his volume with bio? graphy and history, and entertaining extracts, making up, altogether, an instructive narra? tive from 1731 to our own cloudy days. Wiih this brief Introductory notice, we heartily commend this coming volume to all our read? ers, and add that lists for subscribers to this work, which is quite limited ia the edition, are suspended at the book establishments of | Samuel Fogartle, John M.

Ii the number of sales be any criterion of merit, the Singer seems lo bear the palm, as shown by Bworu returns of the companies, made under the licenses granted them by the owners of the sewing machine patents, and which are as follows: Machines.

Occasionally a whole covey or flock of tacts springs suddenly to the view of the public and draws universal attention. As very few sports? men every enjoy the good fortune to fetch down a whole flock at a shot. It rarely falls to the lot of any business marksman to bring to the ground so great a swarm of "gamey" realities. But occasionally there ls a business establishment which uses a long-range gun that both spreads and concentrates In dis? charge. The Singer Manufacturing Company 1B one of these extraordinary calibres. To the point of our illustration: The bird In this case la the Singer Sewing Machine; whole number brought to market lo 1871, 181,260, being In a word fifty-two thousand more than was bagged by any other company. If, therefore, the number of eales be any criterion of the merits ol the different machines, lt cannot be denley! that the Singer, owing to the popularity of what Is known as their "Xew Family" ma? chine, far surpasses all others, for the fact is shown by sworn returns of the companies, which returns are made under the licenses granted them by the owners of the sewing machine patents. Their salesroom is No. 186 King street.
