LAWS OF SOUTHERN STATES IN REGARD TO

The law of South Carolina under which
colored seamon entering her ports are impris-
oncd, is at last to be brought to judicial test.
Manuel Pereira colored Portuguese sailor
arhcled to service on an English brig which
was lately driven into Charleston by stress Of
weather, having been arrested and incarce-
rated, Mr. Matthew British Consul at that
port applied through his counsel MIR. Petit.
CRU, to Judge Walker, for writ of habcay cor.
PrS. The Judge refusing to grant the writ, no.
ticc of an appeal was given, and this will prob.
ably bring the case ultimately before the SUI

recoectod that Mr. IIoar. commissioned bv
Massachusetts to bring this law before the iu-

boen addressed 10 them, have repealed those
provisions of their law which provided for the
imprisonment of coored seamcn from abroad

duties with passports from the Mayor. We
nave not yet seen the statute, and cannot saw
whether It applies to coorcd seanen from the

opposed to placing them ON the same footing az
