JUDGE PLATT IN New L1aHr-From
the special correspondent of the Charles
ton NeUs, We learn that ut the recent
term OF Barnwell Court, Judge Platt, in
his charge to the jury in the Sleepy Hol-
low, low tragedy cases, made very pretty
little speech. The correspondent re-
ports: He said that, to his mind, the
signs Of the times were cheering. Men
OF both parties in the South were taking
a more rational and comprehensive view
OF the situation, and were gradually cast
ing aside old prejudices and uniting their
efforts for the common good of the State
He thought that nt. no distant day, in

the belief that in another year, oil Of fLe

men. He was listened to with markea
attention. and has gained the respect OF
many who had hitherto looked upon him

The LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE STATE
We see that movement has been set on
foot by committee of Republicans, to
hold a convention of the working classes
in Columbia, on the Oath instant, for the
purpose of regulating the subject of
wages. This movement, we think, can
oni y embarrass the relations between
employer and employee, without affect
ing any permanent good to tho laborers.
Circumstances may justify these comb-
nations, and trades and professions may
find 1t necessary to take measures to Sc
cure their dignity and integrity. But no
fnctitions appliances eau give more than
its market value to labor, aud it is more
than folly to attempt to adjust the unre-
liable agricultural labor of the emauci-
pated slave especially, to any graduated
scale of prices The upshot of it all will
be, that as i'll the walters strike in New
York, the employer will be forced to i'm
port cheap labor-Chinese perhapsAat
any rate, cheap labor
