TOGOTO THE SUPREME COURT.
Colored Men Preparing to Test South
Cardinals Election Laws.

Having been appointed vice presi-
dents of the South Carolina Suffrage
Aid Society, which was organized Fri
day evening at the Metropolitan Bap-
tist Church, many of the colored pas
tors of this city Sunday devoted their
sermons to the discussion of the politi-
cal status of the negroes of South Car
olina, as told to them Friday evening
by Congressman Murray of that State.
Although the attendance at the many
colored churches was small, those pres
ent seemed much interested in the diff
ferent phases of the political states of
the negro in the Southern States. Rev.
George ". Lee, of the Vermont Ave
nue. Baptist church, who was selected as
the president of the new association, says
that he is in earnest about the matter,
and that he is in earnest about the
matter, and that he will urge all the
colored pastors of the churches of this
city to make unusual efforts in behalf
of the securement of fund here to
assist in the employment of counsel to
take the question OF the registration
laws of South Carolina before the Su-
preme court. The services ola promi-
nent law firm of this city have already
been secured, and South Carolina
firm will assist in prosecuting tl.e case.
in conversation with a representative
of The Star the president of the new
association said:
"Our object is to raise means and
employ competent council to contest
The registration laws of South Carroll
ma, which, We believe are contrary to
Ihe Constitution of the United States.
I think that the people will respond
literally to our appeals to them if the
matter is put to them prop
erly. shall urge the subject before
the ministers of this city, and exl ect
their cooperation. l shall call e mass
meeting to he held at my church next
Monday night, and We will secure
able men to speak upon tkeimportance
of the colored people here giving their
support to this movement. The col
ored people of South Carolina are poor
and unable to contribute the necessary
means to test the case and it becomes
the duty of the colored people every
where to give them aid, for if South
Carolina can enact law that will dis
franchise 100000 negroes, it will net
be long before every State in the South
will adopt similar laws. Washing

THE COTTON MOVEMENT.
Nearly Eight Million Bales at the
Different Ports.

The cotton year for 1895 is rapidly closing
and it begins to be possible TO figure out Just
where each of !he ports stand in regard to re-
ceipts. The crop was, Of course, as was long
ago known, the largest ever made, out 1t Is
still Interesting to observe the directions ID
which it moved. With the increased number
of Gales every port should have shown some
considerable increase in its receipts, but TINS,
as will be seen from the statistics, is not al
ways the case At the very beginning OF the
year it became apparent that Galveston ana
New Orleans were forging far ahead OF any,
thing they ever did before, and this record
thew have maintained steadily down to the
present time. So great was the increase Il
the receipts at Galveston that this year II re-
ceived nearly as many bales as New Ofleaas
did last year. New Orleans, however, n tne
meantime was making q ike advance, anu
still easily maintains her supremacy as tne
chief cotton port OF the world. FOE some
months during the height Of the season the
South Atlantic ports, with the exception oil
Po,t Roval, showed decline, but recently
tnev have not only regained what was los5,
but have run considerably ahead. Port Hoyal,
however. shows the largest increase OF any OF
them. her receipts running up from U,ooo
