"WeU.it yon 'lit? had another apple yon might have made another barrel." .?Th$ 'celebrated McArdlc case, in the Uni? ted States Supremo Court, baa been decided, -Chief Justice Chase delivering the opinion, dismissing the case 'for want of jurisdiction." Mc Ar die, it will be remembered, was the Vicks? burg. {Mississippi) editor arrested by General Ord, tried by military commission, and impris? oned in 1867 for printing "seditions articles" in the Vicksburg Times. On the trial by military commission the accused refused to plead, and % plea of not guilty was entered for him. Tte United Stat ia Circuit Court in Missiasippi franted a writ of /tabeas corpus. The court held that the queation presented involved tho constitutionality of the act of Congress, (the Beoonstraotioa ac1.,) in virtue of which General On7, placed McArdle under arrest, and he deci? ded that act to be oo&stitutioaal, thus decid? ing that tho prisoner waa subject to arreat and to trial before military commission. He was .therefore remanded, and the case came into the United Stites Supreme Court on an appe?l from this decision, with the result above. -The Washington correspondent of tho Baltimore Gaaette, writing on Monday, says : "While the political carnival is in progress in Washington, and Executive favors are being scattered broadcast among 'free American citi? zens,' a courier arrives from thc far-off region ril??xs.8 with official reports for the War De? partment. At the. little town of Jefferson, on thefcead of Lake Caddo, are now fifteen hun? dred United 8tates soldiers, occupied in guard? ing thirty of the most respectable citizens of . the ?own, who. were arrested more than tour months since, and who have never been allow? ed a trial or hearing of any kind. No one of them has ever hean. informed pf the canso of his'arrest.. Tue. courier announces to thc War Department that the soldiery have constructed % stockade surrounded with a ditch fifteen feet wide and twelve feot deep, sud within the .stockade ere ct od a fram o shed in which the prisoners are kept. A guard ie constantly on ?duty within tho stockade and another outside of the stockado. No oho, not even counsel, is allowed to speak to ono of these prisoners, except in tho hearing or a file of soldics. Even their wives and daughters arc forbidden any intercourse whatever, except in particular .eases, where a lady is occ sionally allowed to talk to her husband, who is brought out under a guard of eight irren to the entrance of the stockade, but all such interviews aro li nited to fifteen minutes. Thcso prisoners havo made appetl after appeal for a trial, but all in vain. The War Department?icoives and ontorsupon its files these reports of 'Free American Citi? zens' imprisoned, but says-'General Rey? nolds must attend to their trial or release; it is no business of tho War Department.'" -The terrible Blackstone tragedy in Phila? delphia bas been followed by one somewhat similar bat more sickening in its details. At Oakdale Township, Minn., on the morning of the 7th instant, Mr. James B. Gray vas dis? covered sitting on the steps of his granary, with a rope in his band, alternately screaming and whistling. An alarm was givon, and Mr. Grey's father hastened to tho house and posh? ed open the door. His four hi tie prattling grandchildren lay upon the floor side by side covered with a quilt, with their throats cut from ear to ear, and their faces gashed and ?ont in a bombie manner. Turning from tho sickening sight, be staggered back to meet thc .gaze of hie maniac son, who was advancing to? wards him with a rope inliis hand. Closing with bim at once, the agonized father would have ad? ded another to the ghastly list of victims but for timely arrival of assistance. In answer to in? quiries regarding bi8 wife, ho said, "I killed them aU with the axe, and they are gono to hea? Ten. O,"hang me I hang me 1" He finally told tbeni Lid wifo was in the granary. There I body of Mrs. dray was found, with her 'eel tho doer, and bor faco in a paddle of bio willi her lift ann extended. Thc only clo icc she had ou wis a coarse cotton nisbt-drc a short rou^h ooat belonging to her husbai which she had evidently put on to protect I from the cold morning air while she acooui; niod hor husband to tho barnyard, and a p of coarso shoes, which in her haste she ? left untied. Mr. Gray was taken to prisi Ho sajs: "I thought I was comino; lo poverty that I was sick and would diesoou, and that i family would be left destitute, and i thous it would bo betlor to send thom to b< ven at onoe. 1 at once took tho grubbi boo and struck my wife on the bead with This did not kill her, and sho screamed tor bio. t then 3tabbed her sloven times, and s was dead.

(Here he3topped to exclaim, " I toll y cu it was tho bloodiest murder on r I card " I then took tho axe and placed t other children down on the floor and put i kneo on their breasts, and took the head oft axe so" (describing the action, holding t axe by both bands and chopping down) ''ai cut their throats, and almost cut their he J off. I then put them side by side on tho flot and got a rope aad tried to hang myself, bul couldn't succeed." CHARLESTON. -o FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 18C9. Bearding the Brltlsn Lion, Distant as we are from the intrigues ai plots of the Federal capital, it is diffico to tell whether Senators Sumner and Chan 1er and William Pitt Fessehde? arejn sei oas earnest when they use language whit should make sn amicable settlement of tl Alabama Oi.tinrj improbable, if not impo sible. Whatever may be the opinion of the Rai ioal politicians, it is reasonably certai that, from the English point of view, tl Reverdy Johnson treaty made every coi cession and admission that the public ten per would allow. The determination of tb Senate committee to make an unfavorabl report caused more relief than regret; foi while it was seen that there was at least remote prospect o." an outbreak of hostili ties between the old country and the nen it was felt that tho Radical leaders ha made up their minds to keep the woun open, and to consent to no settlement whic would not be a recognition by Great Bri tain of the superior power, wisdom am magnificence of these United States. Am during the last few weeks there has beei no ennuge in English popular sentiment, i being very doubtful whether Lord Claren don could now offer with safety the verj terms which the Senate has so cavalierly rejected. The suggestion that thc United Slates ?ill luke Canada as a receipt in full for the damages caused by the depredations of the Alabama and her companions, will receive no more attention in England than the propo? sition to return Gibraltar to Spain. Canada [s a costly jewel in the Imperial crown, and Lhere would be no lasting objection to a ^fmmttitmm ?t Uk ? r.i..??lj ??l??y from the mother country, if that separation were the TI m ural consequence of increased popula? tion, mature strength and a desire for more thorough independence* When, however, Buch men as Sumner and Chandler demand the disintegration of the Empire and the annexation of the pr ovin se of Canada te the United States, they are only pa. mg it ont of the question for any Ministry to comply with their terms, without perform? ing a political kari kari. Nor do we believe that the senators who talk so boldly with closed doora, or the jour? nals who give the English Government twenty-four inches daily of exhortation and abuse, have any serious idea that their proposition will beeooepted. Indeed, they do not desire that it should be. It is a part of their performance to find a cry which shall take the place of that of ?negro rights and ?Radical glorification," and they will not be satisfied while there is another world of worde to oonquer. Their theory is peace, as it is that of President Grant. Their praotioe is war, as the policy which gives the greatest opportunities for laying up power and ac? quiring commercial capital. The longei the disorder and uncertainty last the better for them; only the bubbling and boiling ol the oauldron cause the scum to rise. . Tho English ar? not an excitable people, and will not fly into a passion because ol the vaporing of Sumner and Chandler. But they will assuredly be armed at all points; they will rest upon their shields, and if the. Radicals insist upon having a war, theil wishes may be gratified, at the very mo? ment when they havo come to the conclu? sion that it is impossible to kick the som? nolent British Lion into even spasmodic activity. ?lit St. Louis Grain Trade. The St. Louis newspapers having told the business men of tho city somo plain but disagreeable truths about their lack of en? terprise, the latter have turned over a new leaf and organized an enterprise I it will probably relieve them of the charge. A grain company has been formed with $200,000 to be used as a "margin," to se? cure to sellera a ready market and to facil tate the through transportation of grain to the East. The plan was entered into with great enthusiasm. The Merchants' Ex? change, in its oorporate oapacity, subscribed $20,000 to the stock, and in two days $|? OOO and upwards of the capital had been taken. The oapital of $200,000 will be used as a margin, and will enable the association to keep in motion a million bushels of wheat. The central idea is to export direct to Liv? erpool and build up a great import trade; but enough grain will be kept at St. Louis and at New Orleans to induce heavy deal? ers and speculalois to send their orders with tho assuranco that they can obtain all their wants. Considering the position of St. Louis and the admirable facilities possessed by her for carrying out such a plan as this, the only wonder is that the movement was not made years ago. That it will be successful, if managed with ordinary prudence, does not admitjof a doubt. Tho Working Classes. It 1*3 pleasant io observe the growing feel iug in England in favor cf tho woiking cia3Fc. Time wa?, when for a man lo juin in a strike, or to become a member of a Trades Union, was an unpardonable crime in th? eyes of the employer. Yet recently a commission appointed by Parliament has actually reported in favor of a law legaliz ing, under certain restrictions, combina? tions among workingmen to regulate wages and hours of labor. This is an acknowl? edgment that it is better to direct than to oppose, and, in connection with the efforts which are making to give the working classes cheap and rational amusement, shows a de? cided chango for the better in public opinion in regard to the proper relations between capital and labor?. But tho proposition of the Parliamentary committee does not go far enough for some advocates of thc rights of workingmen, and the London Speotator makes a vigorous attack upon the report. It say6: "Nothing is more habitually dinned into the ears of workingmen by the plutonomists of the day than that 'labor is a commodity.' The commissioners visibly adopt this view, when t Lt y uso such terms us thc 'supply of labor, 'the labor market,' the 'disposal of labor,' 'bar? gaining' as to the terms on whioh it is to be disposed of. But if so, why is thc disposal of this commodity to be specially rog uiatod and restricted?" And it goes on to combat the hackneyed allegations that Trades Unions attempt iq create a monopoly of labor, by showing that dealers in goods and merchandize may combine to monopolize the market without interference from tho law, and that employ? ers or labor buyers may do the same. "But if there is to be no law for restraining the labor bayer, be he one or many, whether he choose to buy no apprentice labor, or none bnt Bach; no piece-work labor, or none bnt Buch; no unionists' labor, or none but such; to use machinery nowhere, or every where; to pro? scribe all sub-cantracte in his business, or to lee out all his business upon them; to refuse all help to, or share his whole fortune with, labor buyers in dispute with the labor soliera why are tbeso last to be excluded from the benefit of tbe law for allegod violations of eco? nomic soience which labor bayera may freely commit, and enjoy all logal protection ?" It also makes the following forcible argu? ment in favor of some of the more unpopu? lar regulations of Trades Unions : "Take the instances which perhaps appeal most to the moral sense, those of a society aiming at limiting the number of apprentices (a practice, be it always remembered, hold per? fectly justified among attorneys); or at tbe ex? clusion ot non-unionists from fellow work (Ibe ruling etiquetto of tho bar, &c); if labor be a mero commodity, ia what do they differ in their legal or acion tine effect fi cm the cass of tbe brewer imposing upon publicans tho obli? gation of taking only bis own boer ? What principle of hw binders thc seller from making it a condition with tho buyer that he shall deal with no ot bei seller of the same commodity? Tho thing is of evory-day occurrence. Whore ever any article, by ils rarity, its excellence, its mere name, however undeserved or fraud? ulently won. seems capable of enjoying a more or loss qualified monopoly of tho market, efforts ore at once mada to secure that monop? oly by sending tra vellera throughout the coun? try to malic agreements with doalors for thc exclusive uso ol such article." Tuc writer wumn^cg-iB -reitows :. "The more this question is looked, into, tho more it will be seen that the very 'principles caf economical science,' to whioh the commis? sioners appeal, t. e., those of tho now ruling school of competitive plutonomy, require that the sale of labor and all combinations relating to it should bo made as absolutely free, not only as the purchase of labor, but that of every other article of commerce, and that all combi? nations relating to such purchase should be eubjeot only to the ordinary restraints of law upon, abuses inoident to the relation of buyer and Belier." In thia country the workingmen, as a political power, have been free in the main from oppression; but it is an agreeable sign of the spread of liberal opinions in England and of the effect of an extension of the suffrage, that there should be a gen? eral feeling in favor of a policy which shall secure to the. working elapsos the protec? tion and. privileges whioh oapital can ob? tain by means of combination and concen? tration. The working classes do not desire to become the dictators of their employers. All that they ask is fair play, and this they seem likely to receive. S T. CLOTJD HOTEL.
