Caleb Powers, former secretary of the State of Kent m y, has been granted a new trial by the Kentucky appelate court. Powers was charged with complicity in the assassination of Governor Gocbel. On the lirst trial he was convicted and given a life sentence. The second trial resulted iti a conviction t?d sentence of death. The principal grounds assigned in tho main opinion granting a new trial were: D * - ? DWRU8H or in* improper remarks made hy :he late attorney for the comoionwealth; because sentence was passed within two days after the jury rendered its verdict, and because the court refused to grant further time to the defendant's attorneys to file reasons for a new trial, ? Stronp: efforts are being made to turn the tide of foreign wnmigra. tion southward, and seemingly without much regard us to what class comes, says the Columbia bia Record. .Unless care is exercised we will have a class similar to those iu Northern mines and factories. The South Carolina law on the subject ought to be adopted by all of the States of the South and then there would be little danger. The fear is expressed thai there will not ho enough of the class we are obiaining. That mty or may not be true, but that SUDdIv should first o*lioiio?n/l I before experiments are made with ! others. There is at present a considerable demand for Italian loborers in various sections of the south. Those that have tried them express sslisfuotion with the results, but th6re is a class of that nationality which would be anything but desirttble. Unless there are i suoh restrictions as we have in ! this State as to whom we will induce to come amongst us, there is danger of overdoing the thing.
