A dispatch from Columbia, s., E., says that
in the I. S. Circuit Court, on Saturday, the
Government entered a nolle prosequi in the
first indictment against Bratton and others,
and presented new indictment, charging MUIR
der. This brings up the question expected to
go for decision to the Supreme Court. The
objections of the defence to the new indictment
were overruled, but they were given until to-
day to examine the indictment. The defence
argue that the prisoners who pleaded guilty,
should be lightly punished, under the fourth
section of the Ku-Klux act ; but the prosecu-
ton claims the sentence should be for ten years
Imprisonment and $4,000 fine, under the sixth
section

The Pennsylvania Miners Journal alluding to
the report of the intended coal strike says" At
this time of theycar and during the present state
of affairs, such strike would be only in the in
terest of the operators, who would do uothingto
prevent it as it would tend to lessen the supply
Miners cannot expect to get any advantage by
a strike, as the market has large supply to
run on and if such strike should become
general the inference would be that it had been
instigated in an uuderhand way by the opera
