The New York Evening Post publishes a
carefully prepared review of the recent strikes
in that city. The results Of the strikes, the
Post says, may be summed up in this way ::
First. temporary general Dissemination of
labor. Second. an almost demonstrahle loss of
two millions, which would have found ITS way
iuto the hands Of the lahoriug classes if the
contracts for hnilli"g had not been broken up
by the builders strike Of course this does
not represent the total loss. Third, a general
return, at the end of the strike, to the ten
hour system. Fourth, the formation of an
employers organization with view to comb
naious IF capital. such as now exist among the
the 'aborcrS. Fifth, general conviction that
the strike was failure.

Many narrowing facts have been given
of the late dreadful famine in Persia,
but one incident is now related 80 in
tensely horrible as almost to surpass all
belief, although seriously mentioned in
the Levant Times. In the Persian city
of Flamatan two famishing women, aid
ed by seven others, stole three children
and ate them. They were arrested, and
the bones of the dead children found
partially concealed in their clothes. The
Grand Vizier condemned the two women
to the gibbet, and their campanions in
guilt to be starved to death in prison.
At the end OF q week five of these seven
wretohes were found dead in the prison,
after having devoured the other two.

Gould more striking argument be

The SPECIAL TERN OF THE UNITED
STATES CIRCUIT COURT NOT TO BE HELD.
1t was recently intimated in the News
that some difficulty had been encoun-
tered IN the arrangements for the spe-
cial term OF the United States Circuit
Court. which was ordered to be held at
Columbia next month, and it is now Off
ciaiiy announced that the proposed spe-
cial term will not be held, and that there
will be no session of the United States
Circuit Court until the next regular
term, which will begin in Columbia on
the fourth Monday of next November.
AS matter. OF form, the special term
will be opened by Judge Bryan, in Co
lumbia, next Monday, being tho fret
Monday in August, and. the date to
which the Circuit Court was adjourned
last May; but it will be immediately ad.
journed again, and the cases on the Cir
Quit Court docket will be continued until
the November term, while Judge Bryan
will proceed to Greenville to hold the
regular August term of the United
States District Court.
This announcements important, ns.it
will enable the large number OF defend
ants who have given bail to appear, and
who are securing their testimony and
making their other preparations for trial
during the special term. to make suoh
other arrangements as they may desire,
in view ofEthe change in the time of the
trial. and all such persons may place full

Whitaker, and remained in that vicinity
to, q late hour, clustering and threaten
ing aboht Mhat they were going to do.
AS we have said before, there is no
justification whatever in this conduct of
the negroes, and they will learn in the
end that such attempts will inevitably
result to their own injury. We, how
ever, depreoate any action tending to
produce riot and bloodshed, where the
guilty most frequently escape, whilst the
innocent suffer. There are other means
OF thwarting this vile attempt of the
Radicals to embroil the city in trouble,
and the more thoughtful of our citizens
can but on reflection divine what they
are. The question, as it stands at pre-
sent, is altogether with the railroad
company; they own the cars and possess
certain chartered privileges. Ii they
feel constrained to temporarily acquiesce
in this state of affairs and allow the ne
groes to ride in any and every car, the
public have no resource. Individual cases
OF impudence or insult from these me-
groes can be resented by the parties con-
corned in the most eHectual manner.
Again, it is the general impression
that the better class of the oolored peo.
pie don't participate in these proceed
ings nor favor them in any degree. 1t
would be we'll, then, to obtain the names
