the State Supreme Court
COLUMBIA, S G. July 6.-Last DC .ober
Senator Butler. through his attorney,
Sampson Pope, filed o petition in the
State supreme court asking for an in
junction restraining the State officers
from paying the salaries OF the county
supervisors OF registration, the conten.
tion being that the registration law
under which they act is unconsti,u-
tional. a temporary injunction was
granted and the cases were argued last
year.
The decision was filed to-day, and two
out OF the three supreme court justices
upheld the constitutionality OF the law.
Chief Justice McIver filed dissenting
opinion. Associate Justice Gary dis
misses the proceedings on account OF
the supreme courts lack of iurisdic ton
sitting hs court Of equity. Associate
Justice Pope agrees to the dismissal OF
the proceedings. but on different
grounds. He holds that the petitioners
have plain and adequate remedy at
law.
Justice McIver dissents from both,
holding that the proceedings are proper
that the petitioner is entitled to relief
under them, and that the whole regis,
tration law is unconstitutional His
opinion is In the main similar to that
of Judge Golf, who in the federal circuit
court held the law unconstitutional.

That hIexican Colonx.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Depart.
mont OF State Is in receipt OF a repor.
from Jesse w. Sparks, consul at Spied-
ras NeRras, on the colony OF negroes
brought from Alabama and Georgia last
February to Taihuils, Mexico, concern
ing whose treatment there have been
many conflicting reports. Reports have
appeared In American newspapers that
some OF the colonists escaped from the
farm, were pursued by w. II. Ellis, the
colored man who imported them and
that thirty-two were shot down, while
the survivors were captured, taken
back to the colony and subjected TO
harsh punishment. The consuls' In
vestigation has shown this story to be
almost entirely without foundation.
