No BOAT RACE.-It will be remembered
that committee was appointed by the Charles
ton County Agricultural and Horticultural socie-
ty, to offer prizes and make arrangements for
races between oar boats. Yesterday we were re-
.quested by the committee to state that, as only
one boat (the "Ortole'D had been entered, they
deemed it best to postpone the matter fer the

the active and wide-awake grocer, whose cheap
establishment at the corner Of Anson and Society
streets has already become as household word
in every economical family, Is steadily building
up fine business. With a good stand, the rent
of which does not eat up the lions share Of the
profits, his shrewdness and good judgment in
making purchases and his uniform habit OF giving
his customers groceries Of good quality and full
weight at prices but very slightly in advance OF
the lowest wholesale rates, have fairly won for
his store the reputation Of being the cheapest re-
tail grocery on the eastern side of the city. His
other advantages, however, might have been, in
great measure lost upon the general public,
were it not for the tact he has displayed in select
ing an advertising medium that everybody reads,
and his pluck, ingenuity and persistence In keep.
ing the peculiar inducements he can oner con-
stantly before the eyes OF buyers, in Short point
ed and businesslke advertisements. That's the
way to succeed.

Finally, what we ask your Honor to do is to

may do so in any manner it peases; but, we sub

Mr. Spratt observed that while the power OF as
aessment might exist, If the general creditors
were not protected, then the equity occurred, in
which they asked the court to take possession Of
the funds OF the city,
The Judge stated that he could not do that until
the general creditors made the request. But 1t
might be understood, first and last, that every
debt contracted by the City Council must be paid,
and paid In full. At the present time. he could
not look beyond the two questions involved in the
pleading: First, can Glbbon Il Co. proceed to
execute their levy upon the funds In the banks
And, secondly, ought the City Council to be re-
strained from assigning or disposng OF the stocks
which 1t Is alleged were pledged by the ordinance

the City Council in bankruptcy, he had not the
remotest Idea Of doing 1t. he must treat the

The complaint alleged that the city is insolvent.
The answered denied 1t, and there was no proof
of the fact. The foundation ofa creditors bill is
the insolvency of the debtor. There was not o

Mr. whaley said he found the Court so well in
formed upon all the principles Of law applicable
to is:.s case, that 1t would be waste OF time to

as had been his intention.
The Judge remarked that the only question he
wanted to hear the counsel upon, was whether
the city authorities should be enjoined from trans
ferring the securities.
Mr. Whaley stated that that was the point he
would speak OF, and 1t brought up the question
what are the remedies against municipal corpo.
rations, and how are they to be pursued?
The court was asked to enjoin solvent debtor
but unless there was some extraordinary equity
in the case, such course OF proceedings was not
within the province Of the court. Again, the
court was asked to enjoIn the city from interfer-
ing with certain fund which is in Its possession.

reducing il TO practice; for the communica-
tion Of IL 20 the public, and for their right to
use IL freely when the exclusive rigat of the
patentee expires
An invention is property Of the highest
order. Whatever may be said of the right
which man may acquire in the soil, by his
occupancy Of it, or in the materials with
which he works, or in the profits of his bar
ter, IL would seem to be a self-evident propo-
sition that he is the owner of that which he
Creates and that when his ideas, no longer
vague or dreamy speculations, have taken
useful form and been reduced to practice. not
the abstract ideas, but the concrete and en-
bodied principles, are his own, to dispose of
as he will
As il is impossible to pay for useful inven-
tions in money, we pay in time, which the in
ventor must turn into money if he can.
To insure the fairness of this transaction,
under the patent laws of the United States.
an examination is made into the novelty of
the invention prior to the granting of the
patent. This investigation includes
an examination of the patents
already. granted, OF the applications
rejected, of the foreign patents printed comics
of which are furnished to us, and of the text
books and cyclop@dias. In making the
examination, reliance is placed for the most
part upon the drawings; the text and models
being resorted to only where the drawings are
obscure and need further explanation.
AS nearly 100000 patents have been
granted, and $4,000 applications have been
rejected, in this country alone, it is manifest
that this examination is not an easy task. 1t
would be impossible to make it without a
careful classification of the subjects of inven-
ton, and without the assistance of trained
and skilful examiners.
REGISTRATION SYSTEM.
The patent system in vogue in Europe is
substantially one of registration. Patents
are granted upon the application of the in
ventor, without examination into the novelty
or utility of the invention. The responsibility
is thrown upon him of so forming his specif-
cation and claims that they will bear the test
of subsequent investigation. This he does
at his peril; and if he attempts to make any
preliminary examination into the state of the
art, he can do it only by the aid of solicitors,
whose charges are far greater than fees for a
similar service would be if the work were
done by sworn officers. But, although no
examination is made, the patent fees abroad
exceed those which the inventor pays in this
country. This will appear from the following
