Cotton s,ce,,nr.

The arrest Of the negro Wa Lee, on
the charge Of stealing cotton. by the
special police Of the cotton exchange on
Wednesday, created a sensation IN cotton
circles. Lee was detected in carrying of
some twenty pounds Of cotton from a
shed. The demonstrating business had
increased to such large proportions that
the cotton exchange determined to stop
it, and this first arrest will 20 far to
check the thieves. The crowd OF colored
cotton samplers, draymen and shed en-
ployes in attendance on the trial Of Lee
proved that the case had created a autter
in certain circles. Lee was bound over
in the sum of one thousand dollars to
appear before the Criminal Court, and
the ablest counsel in the city has been
engaged by the cotton exchange to pros.
ecute the case with vigor unto the end.
The offence is petit larceny, and Lee may
expect to suffer the consequences. The
cotton exchange has determined to pros
ecute all cotton stealers, let the amount
Of cotton stolen be great or small. The
cotton leak must be stopped.
