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,

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

! 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.
