ST. STEPHENS FA1R.-Ihe Hibernian Hall was
brilliantly Illuminated last night, and the spacious
room enlivened by beaming glsnces from the eyes
of the fair beings who fitted across the scene.
The tables were arranged around the sldes OF 1no
| room, while the centre was occupied by large
evergreen pcndant with sweet fruit in the shape
OF bags of sugar plums and other ornaments. An
inspection of the tables proved that the ladies OF
st. Stephens were not behind their sisters and it
was difficult to resist either the importantly OF
the fair merchants or the attractive appearance OF
the wares AS we were only able to take cursofy
glimpse, We cannot expatiate on the wonders OF
the Fair, but we saw sufficient 10 induce anothcr
visit and wo advise all who wish to exercise
great christian virtue, with satisfaction to them
selves, to pay the Hibernian Hall visit.
ORDER No 80 TO BE Observation-Disclosures
ing the refusal of tho city authorities to grant any
licences to sell liquor, the hotels have Kept thcf
bars open, and have dispensed the splrltuais 10
many thirsty wretches, who looked to the notes as
their ark of rouge This action on the part OF the
hotel keepers reused the anger OF other publlcans,
and the outcry became so strong that the authori-
ties were compelled to take cognizance OF the vlo-
lution of tho law. The defaulting parties were
summoned to appear before tho Mayor this morn
ing. when they will answer to the charges made
AGAINST them. According to the provisions of the
order, inn-keepers are allowed to sell liquor, ana
since Council has refused to grant them this per-
mission, they probably will appeal from any de-
cision that may be rendered by the civil authori-
ties to the military. 1t is an interesting question:
and one in which most OF the citizens arc con-
cerned for if the hotel barrooms should be closed,
we will bo at once reduced to distressing state OF
temperance, which to the lovers Of ye cooling
beverages would be great misfortune.
THEd AND Now.-We have before US q copy of
the National InteQ,gtncer, of Washington, July 80,
1878. 1t contains a proclamation from JAS. Mon
ROE, President, signed JNo. QUINCY ADAMS Secre-
tary of State. Among the extracts we notice ono
from Charleston paper, which states circum-
stance as creditabe to the police Of ths.cty as to
The industry of the poorer class Of its inhabitants
The city marshal seized quantity Of bread not of
the legal weight, and after advertising it for dis
tributon among the poor, could not find poor peo-
pie enough to take il off his hands.
Those were evidently tho halcyon days OF the
city, when the land flowed with milk and honey,
and when tho laws were enforced. If we mistake
not, there is still statute on the books regulating
the proper weight of the loavcs, but it has become
dead letter. and the size and weight Of bread is
not strictly governed by any legal standard If
the police authorities of our day were to mako
raid on any baker violating the law, there would
be no difficulty in disposing of the confscatcd
stock Unfortunately the poverty of the country
has sadly increased since 1818 and thelate war has
added paupers to community who were before
prosperous and happy. History is said to repro
duce itself, but in this instance it will occur only
when aided by strong arms and willing hearts.
BY their assistance We may yet restore our city
to it's primal condition, and the day will come
when the poverty of the past will appear as
dream and though We may never be ablo to offer
bread to the poor, and find no applicants tor
bounty, our situation will be improved, and We
can confidently expect diminution in tho dis
tress and destitution now 30 alarmingly prevalent.
OPENING OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL ScHoo
FOE FREEDMEN-Ye Yesterday morning very interest
ing exercises took place at the opening OF the
Protestant Episcopal School for freedmen, at the
old Marine. Hospital, in Franklin street. Nearly
all the Episcopal clergy of tho city were present.
and one of the largest rooms in the building was
filed to overfowing with colored people. at 10 A.
NJ. the exercises we're commenced by singing the
SD hymn in the prayer book, which was followed
by prayer by Rev. W. B. w. HOWE. chant was
then sung, and Mr.. HOWE read from the first to the
twenty-frst verse in the eight chapter OF Proverbs
Rev. G. C. PNcKNEY then read the report
prepared by the Board of Missions, ct the
conclusion of which he made few explain
atory remarks. = Mr.. P1NcKNEY then introduced
to the audience Mr.. W. w. TAYLOR, the Principal
of the School, who made brief address to the
parents on their duties and responsibilities. He
was followed by Rev. A. TooMER PORTER, who
stated that the Principal Of the School had been
obtained from the North as pledge to the
freedmen that there was nothing which we
were unwilling to teach them. AS an answer TO
the assertion often made, that Southerners were
unwilling to take part in the education OF the
colorcd people, he said that the Board had adver-
tised for two teachers; and had received twenty
applications, and that from the applicants four
Charleston ladies had been selected whose social
standing was we'll known to his hearers, as vel
as to the rest of the community. He stated, also
that in the election of teachers hereafter, the best
qualified would be chosen, irrespective CT COLOR
Rev. c. P. GApsDEN then rose, and, III an eloquent
and stirring address of half an hour, reviewed the
history of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina
in it's relations to the colored people, and showed
that in this matter of education the church now
occupied no new position, but was merely selzng
the opportunity afforded by political changes to
enlarge her efforts for the elevation and salvation
