The case of VIM. H. Barnes and
Geo. Cook, charged with assault
with intent to kill John N. Spencer,
on the Doth day of November, 1877,
and the countercase of John n. Spen-
Ger charged with assault and threat
ening to shoot VIM. II. Barnes, were
up for trial before Justice King yes
terday. Mr.. j. j. McHenry appear
ed for the prosecution, and Mr.. d. J.
Blackiston for the defence. About
sixteen witnesses were summoned,
tWo-thirds Of whom testified in the
cases. In the case of VIM. II. Barnes,
after patient hearing, the Justice
required him to give security in the
sum of one thousand dollars to an
swer the charges alleged at the next
grand Jury term of Garrett county,
which security was given. The
charges against George Cook, who
was alleged to have been an Access
sorry, fell through and he was dis
charged. In the counter charge of
Barnes and Cook against Spencer,
the parties failed to prosecute. There
is a singular mixture of relationship
among the parties who have thus
come so prominently before the PEG.
pie of this county and Garrett.
Barnes is the son of Mrs. Spencer
by former husband, and he is charg-
Ell with shooting and attempting to
kill his stepfather. Cook is the hus
hand of a daughter of Mrs. Spencer
by former husband, and he was
charged with assisting in an attempt
on the life of his step-father-in- law,
while the latter is charged with try
ing to rid himself of these cOnnec-
tons in manner not warranted by
law. Mrs. Spencer was in the mag
istrate's court yesterday, and seemed
quite distressed at the unfortunate
family feud that seems to have been
of a very violent character. Her
efforts for reconciliation were in
ccssant. After the magistrates de-
cision the whole party left the office
together aud walked up Baltimore
street apparently as friendly as
possible. Cumberland AUeganiun,

The official announcement that the
knights of Labor of the Pennsylva-
MIA mining region have decided to
postpone the general strike, which
had been fixed for an early date in
August, shows that the prophecy of
some such uprising on the 18th of
this month, was not without founda-
ton. For general strike would he
but the prelude to the violent out
breaks, in the shape of riots, for
which the Pennsylvania state au-
thorities have been preparing. The
pOstponement from June Is was
caused, it has been reported, by the
precautionary measures of the state
government and this second recon.
sideratiOn is ascribed to the imprCy-
ed conditions of many of the laboring
men, from whom all motives for en-
gaging in a strike have been removed
by the action Of their employers
Having twice missed the crisis, it
looks as if we might get through the
summer without serious trouble,
after all.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA TRIALS.
WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE
government has nearly completed
the necessary arrangements for the
trial Of the revenue cases in South
Carolina, at a term of the United
States Circuit Court to be held early
in September, at which Chief Justice
Waite and Judge Bond will occupy
the bench together. The federal au-
thOritieS here are impressed with the
importance of these cases and the is
sues involved, and will have unusu.
ally strong counsel to conduct the
cases, and to maintain the right of
the general government to enforce its
laws in the several States without the
interference of State authorities. EX-
Secretary B. II. Bristow has been in
Yited to take charge Of the cases in
behalf of the government, and has
signified his readiness to do so. He
will be allowed to select such assis-
lance as he may desire, and the prob
ability is that. other prominent law
years will be asked to take part in
the cases.
1t is known here that the State au-
thorities of South Carolina will con-
test to their utmost ability the posi-
ton taken by the federal govern
ment, and maintain that the States
alone have jurisdiction of such cases
as the present ones. Eminent coun-
sci will be employed to aid the at
torney general of the State, and the
cases are regarded by leading law
years as Of the most important that
have arisen for years. 1t is eXpec-
ted that the cases will be carried up
to the Supreme Court of the United
States for final decision, no matter
how they may be decided by the
Circuit Court.

Although Austria has succeeded
in affecting an occupation of the
Turkish provinces, there has been a
strong opposition both from the
Montenegrins and the Bosnians, and
there is every prospect that the con-
ditionS which at present exist may
soon lead to open hostilities. The
Montenegrins have right 10 think
that the sacrifices and brave efforts
which they made for centuries in or
der to preserve their liberties emit
tied their claims to more favorable
consideration, and the irritation
which they naturally feel has not
been attempted to be concealed. Nor
has the Mussulman portion of the
Bosnian population relished its sepa-
ration from the Caliph, who is the
head of their race and religion and
these elements combined have help
ed to form an incipient feeling of re-
bellion of which Greece and Italy
may shortly try to take advantage.
Both of these countries are dissatis-
fed at the manner in which they
have been treated. Greece expected
to receive new territory, and Italy,
with the to her barren results of the
Berlin Congress ranking in her
mind, feels all of her old hatred for
Austria revived. The meetings
which have lately been held in the
principal Italian cities urging the
acquisition of the Southern Tyrol or
seine other station are significant in
that the leaders of this agitation
have again brought up the name of
Mazzini, name, in spite of the
changes which have taken place
since his death, which is still good to
conjure by. Romance is part of
the Italians nature, and the tervid
utterances of that patriot, his self-ab-
ncgation and the love of country
which inspired him are sufficient
when dilated upon "to make the
very stones OF Rome to rise and mutt
n.y." Greece is the only nation with
which Italy can at present affiliate.
Their past history was closely con-
nected. Antiquity is lighted up with
their literature and their learning.
Italy has since her unification be-
come recognized power in Europe,
and since she has no interest in COM

lapOr question, must fall very HAT
upon the people Of Iowa, Wisconsin
and Minnesota. In those States, as
appears from the most trustworthy
reports, there are not less than 5000
tramps. AT the same time, however,
it is also stated that the farmers are
offering from - to - 50 day for
men 70 do laboring work, and cam
not get half the help they need.
A revival of the iron industries
throughout Pennsylvania is an en-
couragmg sign of the times. There
are now more furnaces in blast than
usual at this season of the year, and
more hands employed than ever be-
fore since the year 1872. The eStab-
lishments for making steel are also
resumlng active operations, with
orders ahead sufficient to keep their
hands employed for long time TO
come. Gradually the foundries and
machine shops in our large cities,
says the Harrisburg independent, are
re-opening, and some of them haye
accepted heavy orders at low rates,
but not such as will cause any loss in
the operations, because of the cheaper
rates ruling for labor and material.
The indications are favorable for an
increase Of all leading lines of manu-
facture, and by next frost our indus
tries will, no doubt, be quite active
once more. The feeling in trade
circles is hopeful thus far in advance
of the autumn season, and in some
lines prospective orders are reported
to be numerous and heavy, with
promise Of an extensive cash and
thirty day business at fair profits
Large sums of money that have been
lying idle in the banks are being
drawn upon for investment in legiti-
mate mercantile enterprises, and
there are abundant evidences that
we shall have prosperous fall and
winter seasons.
