MACON, FRIDAY, JULY 2 1669.
Another Grand Railway Consolida
tion.
We are informed that a negotiation is now
pending between the Central and Southwestern
Railways to consolidate these two gigantic in
terests under the exclusive control and direc
tion of the Central Road. It is whispered that
the Central Road offers to take a long lease of
the Southwestern and guarantee the Stock
holders eight per cent per anrnim on the capi
tal stock of the road.
• This is a very safe bid, inasmuch as eight
per cent is the usual dividend of the Road, with
an improving business, and one which is prob
ably bound to increase much faster in the future
rtiHTi it does now. We look upon the road
tributary to the tracks of the Southwestern, as
bound to be the Cotton Egypt of America. It
is probably the country of all the world which
combines the best cotton producing conditions
of soil and climate, with the best proportionate
conditions of health. It is pre-eminently
adapted to heavy free labor cotton crops, and
to show that we are not alone in our judgment,
we think we could safely bind ourselves to pro
duce, within a reasonable time, a much higher
bid for a lease of the Southwestern Railroad,
from parties as responsible as any in the world.
We are not talking idly in this business.
The proprietors of the Southwestern Rail
road should, therefore; it seems to us, consider
whether they are making their best arrangement
«n/U» this bargain—whether they cannot do
better as to price, and whether it would not be
far more to their interests to retain control of
this magnificent property, as an independent
road, responsive to the interests of the people
tributary to it, and open in their own advant-
. age to the natural developments of the country,
rather than to merge itinto an immense combina
tion, which will wield its power solely for
through freight, and without much regard to
tho equities of the situation.
(■ It behooves the people of Macon to put on
their thinking caps. Such an arrangement puts
the cotton trade of the town substantially in the
hands of this combination, and there are those
who say, so far as our warehousing, storage and
sales of cotton are concerned, the place will be
a way station hardly more important than Gris
wold ville. With the imperfect lights before us
we do not now propose more than simply to call
the attention of all parties interested to the
negotiations alleged to be on foot.

wit:
Hold Your Temper.
The Savannah News, quoting from the Tele
graph the prediction of a Washington writer,
that if the Legislature refuses to reseat the ne-
grosB, Congress will do it, with the application
of very unwelcome tests to the white members,
says:
We hope no such counsels or threats will in
fluence the Legislature to stultify and disgrace
itself. It is either a Legislative body, with all
the rights, powers, and dignity of such a body,
or it is a mockery. If it has no authority under
the Constitution adopted by the Convention,
ratified by the people, and approved by Con
gress, to legislate and make laws that shall be
respected and obeyed, but is to conform its ac
tion to the caprice of the Radical Junta in
Washington, then let itadjoum, and let lawless
usurpation and military despotism take their
course. We may be powerless to resist further
insult and outrage, but we can refuse to be the
passive instruments of our own abasement.
The News has no greater repugnance to ne
gro officials than we, but we are bound, in coun
selling the people, to discard temper and adopt
the plain suggestions of common sense.
Unfortunately, in this case, the Legislature
will be called upon to conform its action, not as
theNewssays “to the caprice of the Radical Junta
in Washington,” but to the solemn affirmation
.of what is constitutional law' in Georgia, by the
Supreme Court of the State. That makes a very
great difference in the moral and legal attitude
of the course suggested by the News.
Does the News really me an to counsel the Leg
islature to a permanent disregard of this deci
sion? This seems to be the drift of his indig
nation—but if not, how will this Legislature
“stultify and disgrace” itself by conforming to
the Supreme law more than the next one ? Cer
tainly none at alh The Legislature is bound by
its oath to preserve, protect and defend the Con
stitution, and not to violate it It has ejected
the colored members under a constitutional in
terpretation which has been overruled by the
Supreme Court, whose decisions (however er
roneous they may be), are conclusive of the law.
A compliance with this decision on the part of
the Legislature, will, therefore, not only be not
disgraceful and self-stultifying, but will com
mend it the more to popular respect and confi
dence as a law abiding body.
So long as no Supreme judicial decision
controlled the Legislature that body had a per
fect right to the exercise of a private judgment
in the premises. But when judgment has been
constitutionally declared, it is no self-stultified
iion—no disgrace—to conform to the decision.
Again, the News does not tell ns what is to be
gained by a contumacious and violent course
in the premises. And what can be gained f
What profit in postponement or contumacy ?
He says “let lawless usurpation and military
despotism take their course.” That they can
do, any how, as well without our permission as
with it. We cannot help ourselves. But it is
not the part of prudent and wise men to throw
up our stakes in a pet. We have too much at
hazard. Georgia is our home—we have got no
other—we can go no where else—our wives, our
children, our property are all here and we want
to make Georgia just as comfortable and pros
perous as the case will admit.
If we were going to smash things up generally
because they are wrong-end-foremost and topsy
turvy, we should have begun the work long ago.
ATI we can do now is to save the pieces and make
the best of a bad case. It is no time now to
take the studs on these ill-timed and falsely
raised pnnetilioes—but it is a time for sober
and careful deliberation and the exercise of all
the judgment and discretion we possess. This
is the view wo take of matters, and earnestly
commend the same course to the politicians and
the people.
A Fine Cotton-field.
We have a stalk of Cotton from the plantation
of Mr. G. R. Keene, near Oglethorpe in Macon
county, which is thirty inches high, three-quar
ters of an inch in diameter at the butt, and fifty-
eight blooms and squares upon it. The stalk is
' from a field of fifty acres, and we are assured is
a fair average of the whole. Indeed, the gentle
man who brought it says he counted eighty-three
blooms and squares upon another stalk.
' A lady, who has just returned from passing
the winter in Florida, states that a planter made
his appearance in town from the depths of the
everglades, bringing with him two negroes for
sale ! He was actually ignorant that there had
been a war 1 Imagine his feelings at the sud
den depreciation of his movable property.

The ability of the female tongue to keep a se
cret is proved by the oondnot of a St. John'i
girl, who did not tell her lover that she was
worth four millions in her own right until after
their marriage.
Commodore Nutt and Miss Minnie Warren
were married at West Haven, Conn., on Thurs
day.
Miss Polly Collins took up Robert Knowles
for not fulfilling his promise to many her. The
f ist of the eviaenoe turned out thus: “I asked
oily if she would have me, and she answered,
Yes; but I did not tell Polly I would have hen”
That made-it fcad'f^PcDj,.
We claim the Legislative right in this matter
as one of the express grants of the Constitution
—a grant made for the purpose of enabling it to
protect its body from the intrusion of incompe
tent or improper persons. It is no more an in
fringement on the judicial powers of the Su
preme Court, than it is an infringement on the
elective powers of the people. It may be re
garded as a restriction upon both, but it is a
constitutional restriction; and any attempt of
the court or of the people to deprive the Legis
lature of it makes the court or the people an ag
gressor upon the constitutional attributes of
the Legislature. That is the broad view which
we take of it.
The Courts of this State have the right to
judge of the qualifications of persons wishing to
practice law at their Bars—have the right to
say who shall and who shall not be admitted.
Is this any infringements on the rights of the
citizens of Georgia? Is it not rather the exer
cise of a power delegated to enable the Courts
to protect themselves from the intrusion of im
proper or incompetent persons? And if the
Courts reject an applicant, has the Legislature
any right to foist him in against their decision ?
We maintain that the action of the Courts and
the Legislature in this matter is separate and
conclusive, and that neither trenches on the
rights or the jurisdiction of the other, in exer
cising its exclusive powere,however capriciously.
Suppose the decision of the Supreme Court
goes to the length of establishing the qualifica
tions of Abram Smith, illiterate colored man of
this county, to a seat in the Legislature: Will
the Telegraph be good enough to tell ns how
the Supreme Court can enforce this decision ?
What process will it use? what constabulary
force will it put into requisition? Courts have
machinery enabling them to carry into effect
their judgments on matters legally committed
to their jurisdiction. This they can do by pro
cess established and by subordinate tribunals
and officials. And where no such process or
tribunals or subordinates can perform a particu
lar act, the strong presumption is that that act
is not within their jurisdiction. In this case we
know that it is within the constitutional juris
diction of each house of the Legislature, and
that each house has officers and a modus oper-
andi just suited to the case.
The Court has decided that negroes* have the
right to hold office in Georgia. But this decision
is of coarse restricted by any provirions of the
Constitution modifying it, or inconsistent with
it. If the Constitution entrusts to some other
tribunal the decision of tho question whether
negroes are eligible to any particular office or
position, the judgment of the Court cannot
make them eligible to that position. It cannot
give them seats on the Bench or seats in the
Legislature. Further action by the Courts or
by the Legislature is needed to do that. The
Supreme Court did not have before it the ques
tion whether any negro applicant was entitled
to a seat in the Legislature, and therefore (con
sidering its judgment in connection with tho
constitutional powers of each house above re
ferred to) it did not decide any such question.
Does the Telegraph really believe that if our
colored claimant (Mr. Smith aforesaid) should
apply to the Supreme Court to give him his seat
in the Legislature, that Court would grant his
prayer, or make any decision in the case ? Our
strong conviction is that even Brown and McCay
would remand him to the Legislature as the body
having exclusive jurisdiction in the matter.
The views of the Enquirer are, indeed, very
“broad”—so broad that they cannot possibly be
sound. Can he be serious in laying down the
premise that the action of the Legislature in de
ciding upon the qualifications of members is
exclusive and conclusive, however capriciously
exercised ? If so, then all those provisions of
the Constitution granting the right of suffrage
and representation to the people are annulled
by the other grant of power to the Legislature
to determine the qualification of members!
Can this be true ? Is it possible that the power
reposed in the Legislature, to determine wheth
er A or B is duly elected, according to law, can
be Constitutionally exercised to exclude whole
peoples or districts from representation, or im
pose upon them representatives they have not
elected, and there is no remedy, “however ca
priciously” the Legislature may choose to work
their will in the premises? Then any, and all
acts of the Federal Congress to exclude Demo
cratic members are Constitutional.
nam county, after having his wheat thrashed
and measured up, fonnd that it had yielded thir
ty-five bushels to the acre. We wish the Press
and Messenger had given us the particulars—
how many acres, and how treated—for this is
certainly a remarkable wheat crop.
We add the following from the Press and Mes
senger :
Oats.—Captain W. T. Reid has laid on our
fable a bunch of oats—forty stalks, all from one
seed. These stalks measured from three and a
half to five feet, with heads ten to fourteen
inches long, and well filled. They grew on the
premises of Mr. R. J. Wynn, a few miles from
town, and are an evidence that oats as well as
wheat, com and cotton, will produce well in Mid
dle Georgia.
Cotton.—Some of our planting friends seem
to think this crop is ten or fifteen days behind
last year, while others, with whom we agree,
contend that it is fully up, and presents a much
better appearance than then. Since the late
rains it has improved greatly, and is now grow
ing as rapidly as could be desired. The lauds
being free from grass and in good condition, at
this time, onr farmers anticipate bnt little dan
ger of falling behind with their work.
The first “bloom of the season,” last year,
was laid on onr table, Jnno 20th, by Colonel R.
B. Nisbet; this year, we have seen no bloom,
as yet, bnt are informed by Mr. S. B. Marshall
that he has cotton blooms in his fields, thus
showing that it is as far advanced as last year.
Laborers.—The farm laborers in this country
are working remarkably well, and attend to their
own business closely, thereby giving farmers
bnt little trouble. Reliable gentlemen inform
us that by giving them proper attention and di
rection, they are enable to get as much work
out of the freedmenas they ever could, during the
time of slavery, and much more than they have
been able to get out of them, any previous year
since freedom.
Warm.—The weather for the last few days,
has been the wannest of the season. It may be
good for farmers and their growing crop; but
it is “heavy” on the poor devils of the town and
villages, who have an opportunity of giving
their lazy propensities full play. They suffer,
sure!
An Ego Within an Egg.—We have in our po-
sesrion a curiosity. It is nothing more nor less
than a hen’s egg with a small one—a perfect
egg, too—shell and all, complete—enclosed with
in it.
The bare statement of the position is its own
best confutation. Against it we assert that the
Constitution of the State is supreme; and that
it cannot invest any of its creatures with power
to trample upon the rights of the people, recog
nized and defined in that instrument, or inter
preted and explained by its lawful exponent.
The Constitution is the handiwork of the People,
explaining and declaring their fundamental
rights. The three departments of government
are the creatures of the Constitution, called into
existence by it and by the people, solely to de
fend these rights. To assume, therefore, that
the Constitution empowers these, its creatures,
innocuous to strike a deadly blow at such a fun
damental popular right as that of representa
tion, is indeed an impossible assumption. The
right, therefore, to judge of the qualifications
of members, must be a right to be exercised
within the clear provisions of the Constitution,
and their Constitutional interpretation by the
Supreme Court.
What has the usage of the Courts in judging
the qualification of persons admitted to practice
before them to do with this matter ? The prac
tice of the law is a privilege—the right of repre
sentation is a constitutional right. If the Con
stitution declared that every male citizen of
twenty-one and upwards should be authorized to
practice law, and the courts should be the judge
of the qualifications, does our friend intend to
say that under this privilege of determining the
qualifications, the courts could decide that none
bnt those citizens of certain districts or counties
or families, or races could practice law before
them ? Clearly his common sense would revolt
at such a constnction. He would say to the
courts: “ Under this grant you have the right
to determine whether the applicant is twenty-
one years old and whether he is a citizen of
Georgia. Here your power and discretionstop.”
So it is with members of the Legislature under
a similar grant It is their dntyfto ascertain
that the certificate of membership is genuine.
That the election was legal and the Representa
tive a lawful claimant of the office. Here their
discretion stops. To arm them with universal
and all-comprehensive power, in the premises,
is to destroy the Constitution and defraud the
people.
Who makes the Legislature ? The Constitu
tion and the action of the people under it!
These comprehend every warrant of power that
any legislator possesses, and are we to be told
that one-half of a legislature can, of their own
caprioe, exclude the remainder, possessing equal
warrant from the Constitution and the people ?
Now, as to remedies—we can perhaps imag
ine remedies, but it is not onr business to point
them oat. There are no strictly judicial reme
dies against some errors and malfeasance in
other departments. All we can say is, that no
man can snccessfnlly dispute these postulates:
The Constitution is the supreme .law—the Judi
ciary the supreme interpreter—the people are
the original repositories of right and power*—
the defences they have set np in the Constitu
tion must be respected, and no creature of the
constitution can possibly possess the lawful
right to impair or destroy them. All are sworn
to preserve and protect them, and that oath is
conclusive against all special pleadings or pre
texts by which an invasion of . the fundamental
rights of the peopi^may be justified. > /
Gunpowder Hammer.
A new invention, known as the gunpowder
hammer, has been tested in Philadelphia. Last
week the first public exhibition of Thos. Shaw’s
gunpowder hammer, as applied to pile-driving,
took place at Lynn’s ship-yard, Reed street
wharf. Mr. Shaw acted as engineer, and a
committee consisting of W. W. Wood, Esq.,
chief engineer of the United States Navy, T. J.
Lovegrove, Esq., inspector of boilers, and H.
L. Hoff, Esq., of the Eagle Iron Works, kept
the record. They report the following result:
The cartridge used contained one-third of an
ounce of gunpowder, the hammer weighed 675
ponnds, and the cylinder or gun 1,500 pounds.
This was loaded and fired fifty-five times in one
minnte and a quarter. The Bnlletin says:
“The driving power is eight times as great as
that of the steam hammer, and the speed ten
times. The rapidity of the movement allows
the pile no rest, thereby overcoming the lateral
pressure. The motive power is always ready,
and there is no waste of power as. with steam.
The piie requires no ringing, and the force
being applied in the form of a squeeze, the pile
is driven home without the slightest injury or
indication of the means employed. The exhi
bition was a complete success, exceeding the
expectations of the inventor and his friends.”

the agency was made known to the payee of the

ton seed was purchased for Jordan, and not for
Spradley the Agent. The suit should have been
brought against Jordan, and not against Sprad
ley, me Agent; and the fact that Jordan filed a
plea in the case ns a defendant, alleging that the
cotton seed was worthless, did not necessarily
make him a party to the original suit against
Spradley, and there was no error in tho conrt
below in refusing the order to make him a par
ty, inasmnch ns Jordan was not named as a de
fendant in the original suit, and not being
named a defendant in the original snit, the fil
ing of his plea did not make him a defendant
where no process was prayed against him as
such. The verdict in favor of the defendant
Spradley was right under the law and the facts
of the case, and there was no error in the conrt
below in refusing the motion for a new trial.

A royal marriage is announced to take place
at Stockholm or Copenhagen on the 27th of
July, which will be of unusual interest, because
it may lead to a union of the kingdoms of Swe
den and Denmark. Prince Frederick,.the heir
apparent to the crown of Denmark, is to marry
the Princess Louisa, the only child of the King
of Sweden, and heiress presumptive to his
crown. The Prince is twenty-six years of age
and the Princess nearly eighteen. Upon the
death of the reigning mon&rchs of the two
kingdoms, the crowns will probably be united.
Bnt as the King of Denmark is only fifty-one,
and the King of Sweden only forty-three, it
may be a good many years before this consum
mation can be reached.
A Novel Expedient*
Property holders in Washington are becom
ing disgusted with their negro government. A
correspondent says:
“ There is a report enrrent whichif ithasany
solid foundation in fact, will increase the amount
of property advertised for sale considerably the
next year or two. The report also involves to
some extent questions of politics and economy
in our city affaire. It seems, so the report
goes,. that a large number of our wealthiest
property holders are much dissatisfied with the
present management of city affairs, and say
that tiie money realized from taxes and other
sources is being squandered by the corporation
authorities. They therefore propose to refuse
to pay any taxes next year,and allow their prop
erty to bo advertised for sale for the non-pay
ment of the taxes. They will then have a year
or two under the law in which to redeem their
property, and by that time they hope the man
agement of city affairs will be m other and bet
ter hands. The remedy for this, is deemed an
original and singular one to adopt, bnt it is nev
ertheless very seriously suggested by a great
many of the largest property holders. What
they desire is that other hands shall expend the
monies of the corporation, and believe they
can accomplish their end by the course pro
posed.”

Crop Prospects.—So far as fine seasonable
rains are concerned, perhaps no year has ex
celled the present one, for the growing crops.—
The yield of wheat in this section is a little

ty; the com has rarely promised better, and the
cotton, though in many places the stand is poor
—has come out wonderfully in the past ten days
and now promises nearly an average crop.
First Sale op New Wheat.—Mr. J. J. Cohen

city, has just thrashed out a brag lot of wheat,
and the result is 58 bushels to the acre. As 46
is the highest we have heard of elsewhere, we
claim 12 better.
Crops in Pike.
The Bamesville Gazette, of Thursday, says:
The prospects for a good crop were never
more probable than at present—we hare had
rain in proper season, and com and cotton are
looking better than usual at this time of the
year, owing to the almost universal use of fer
tilizers. Those who haven't used guano this
year have determined not to be so silly again.

very promising.

From Washington.
Washington, June 24.—Among the President's
appointment to West Point, promulgated to-day, is
a son of Col. Crane, of Ohio, recently killed at Jade-
eon, Miss.
Gen. Grant's present intention is very reliably
stated to be to issue an election proclamation about
the 10th of July for Mississippi, to be held about
the 15th of September, and for Texas about the 1st
of October.
Reynolds telegraphs Gen. Sherman that Texas is
quiet and ready for a fair election.
Revenue, to-day, $886,000.
Gen. Sherman has gone to Sb Louis.
Gen. James A. Ekin acts Quartermaster General
during Meig’s absence.
It is stated that Senator Fenton secured But
terfield's appointment, vice Van Dyke, and that
Boutwell is not entirely satisfied.
Quartermaster Gen. Meig’s father is dead.
Three daughters of Rev. D. B. Nichols were ap
proaching the city to school to-day, and a negro
seized the eldest, a girl of seventeen, and ravished
her. He escaped, notwithstanding the screams of
her sisters—younger girls of thirteen and fifteen—
in the meantime heating the brute with sticks and
stones. The girls were white pupils of the Howard
University. Their father was formerly well known
as the Superintendent of the Contraband Camp, on
the comer of Twelfth and Ninth streets.
All tho New York papers have accounts of the
escape of Cob Ryan, with four hundred men, to
Jersey City. The Marshal, with a revenue cutter,
followed, but the numbers of the Cnhans deterred

was fonnd gagged.

If a man shoot, with a pistol, at another,

and two policemen shot. Kelly was remonstrating
against the arrest of a man whom the police had
taken, when Capt. Callahan, of the police, and sev

had a personal feud with Kelly, shot Mm through
the body. Two policemen were slightly wounded—
one by Kelly, and the other by a random shot from
Callahan. Callahan was arrested and bailed to ap

the question decided by the supreme court.
Front the Atlanta Intelligencer, of the 234.]
On the question of the legality, under the
laws of Georgia, of the intermarriages of whites
and persons of color, the Supreme Couet yes
terday rendered the following decision.

the following were the points decided by the
Conrt:
1st. The Code of Georgia adopted, by the new
Constitution, forever prohibits the marriago re
lation between wMte persons and persons of Af
rican descent, and declares such marriages null
end. void. .
2. This section of the Code is not repealed, by
nor is it inconsistent with that part of the Con
stitution which declares that: “The social
status of the citizen shall never be the snbjeot
of legislation.” That clause of the Constitution
absolutely denies to the Legislature the power
to pass laws in future regulating the social status
or compelling the two races to unite in social
intercourse. As the laws then in existence al
lowed churches, for instance, to determine for
themselves who should occupy their seats, and
where they should sit; and permitting railroad
and steamboat companies, and hotel-keepers, to
classify and assign places to those using their
accommodations, according to social status and
grade as they might think proper; the Consti
tution puts it beyond the power of the Legisla
ture to enact any law compelling them to make
different classifications, or to group together in
social intercourse those who do not recognize
each other as social equals.
As the social relations of citizens are not the
proper subjects of legislation, the Constitntion
has wisely put the matter at rest, by denying to
the Legislature the power to repeal or enact
laws on that subject.

1. The record in this case presents
single
question for the consideration and adjudication
of this Court. Have white persons and persons
of color the right, under the Constitution and
laws of Georgia, to intermarry and live together
in this Slate as husband and wife ? The ques
tion is distinctly made, and .it is our duty to
meet it-fairly, and dispose of it. ,
The Code of Georgia, as adopted by the new
Constitution, section 1707, forever prohibits the
marriage relation between the two races, and
declares all such marriages null and void.
With the policy of this law we have nothing
to do. It is onr duty to declare what the law
is, not to make law. For myself, however, I
do not hesitate to say, that it was dictated by
wise statesmanship, and has a broad and solid
foundation in enlightened policy, sustained by
sound reason and common sense. The amal-
gation of the races is not only unnatural, bnt is
that the people of the States lately in rebels
shall accord to the colored race equality of
rights, including the ballot, with the 4roti
teetion under the laws which are afforded
white raoe, they have neither required oV
the practice of miscegenation, nor have ts
claimed for the colored race social eqn«l;^
with the white race. The fortunes of war h,
compelled us to yield to the freedmen the S
rights above mentioned; but we have neittT
authorized nor legalized the marriage rel»ti **
between the races, nor have we enacted 1* ° S
or placed it in the power of the LegidST’
hereafter to make laws, regulating the
status, so as to compel our people to meetft

after running back, gathering speed and push

from the desired point. The engineer then had

The Steel Capped Bail.
The invention by J. L. Booth, of Rochester,
N. Y., of a process for capping iron rails with a
solid cap of steel about one-half or five-eighths
of an inch in thickness, in the opinion of the
most experienced railroad men who have ex
amined it, meetsthe requirements of safety and
durability. . The rail is described as consisting
of an iron base with a steel cap, united to the
base not by bolts, screws, rivets or weldings,
but simply by clamping. The iron bar is rollep
of the required form and weight, after which it
is passed through the compressing machine,
which* clenches powerfully upon it the heavy
steel cap. Ihe subsequent action of weight
upon it, as the passage over it of heavy trains,
is to grip the iron more and more firmly, until
the base and the cap become as firmly united os
if they were a single piece of metal. Over the
experimental rails laid down two years ago near
the depot in Buffalo, have passed 40,000 en
gines and 500,000 care. The iron rails adjoin-
ing opposite them have, in the interval, been
six times renewed. No change is as yet observa
ble in the steel-capped rails, and to all appear
ance they bid fair to wear out twenty succes
sive sets of the ordinary sort.
Two of the rails were also laid on the New
York Central Railroad, at Rochester, New York,
June 7, 1867. On one the cap was loose, and
even rattling; on the other it was firm. They
were laid continuously and with the old style of
chairs. They were placed where seventy en
gines and trains daily passed over them on the
mainline, and where the track was used con
stantly for switching and making up of trains.
The rate of speed over them varies. The through
freight trains are frequently joined at this point,
three or four in one, to ascend an upgrade.
They pass over these rails often at the rate of
twenty-five or thirty miles an hour. The loose
cap rail became tight in a very short time and
both are now in perfect order. Four sets of iron
rails have been completely worn out, and new
sets replaced, on the opposite side of track, dur
ing the period of time these duplex rails have
been down. From this it would appear that we
need no longer import steel rails,-which can be
made here as well as in England. The matter
is worthy of the careful attention of railroad men
throughout the country.
The Peace Jubilee—Closing Scenes. — A
telegram from Boston, dated June 19, says:
The closing performance of the National
Peace Jubilee was given to-day by from 7000 to
9000 school children, attracting a large and de
lighted audience. Ole Boll performed a solo,
Parepa Rosa and Adelaide Phillips sang a duet,
and other pieces were given, all of which were
encored. The closing piece, “The One Hun-
dreth Psalm,” was sung by the children, the au
dience joining. Several children, overcome by
the heat and excitement,fainted daring the con
cert, bnt they received immediate attention and
sustained no serious injury.
The members of the orchestra presented Mr.
Gilmore with a gold watch and chain.
Another dispatch says:
The dust in the neighborhood of the Colisenm
is six inches deep, and about three and a half
o’clock a sudden gust of wind caused the vast
throng of persons there assembled to look as if
they bad just come out of a flour mill. The ex
clamations of the richly-dressed ladies may bet
ter be imagined than described. Some of them
were to be found neither in Lord Chesterfield’s
Code, nor in the Bible !
All sorts of four wheeled vehicles are pressed
into service as temporary stage coaches. Com-
always productive of deplorable results. Our
daily observation shows ns, that the offspring
of these unnatural connections, are generally
sickly and effeminate; and that they are in
ferior in physical development and strength, to
the full blood of either race. It is sometimes
urged that such marriages should be encouraged
for the purpose of elevating the inferior race.
The reply is, that such connections never ele
vate the inferior race, to the position of the
superior; bnt they bring down the superior to
that of the inferior. They are productive of
evil and evil only, without any corresponding
good.
I do not propose to enter into any elaborate
discussion of the question of policy at this time,
bnt only to express my opinion, after mature
consideration and reflection.
The power of the Legislature over the subject
matter when the Code was adopted, will not, I
suppose, be questioned. The Legislature cer
tainly had as much right to regulate the mar
riage relation, by prohibiting it between per
sons of different races, as they had to prohibit
it between persons within the Levitical degrees,
or between idiots. Both are necessary and prop
er regulations. And the regulation now under
consideration is equally so.
2. But it bas been urged by the learned coun
sel for the plaintiff in error that the section of
the Code under consideration is in conflict with
the eleventh section of the first article of the
Constitution of this State, which declares that
“ The social status of the citizen shall never be
the subject of legislation.”
In so far as the marriage relation is connect
ed with the social status, the very reverse is
true. That section of the Constitution forever
prohibits legislation of any character; regulat
ing or interfering with, the social status. It
leaves social rights, and status, where it finds
them. It prohibits the Legislature from re
pealing any laws in existence, which protects
persons in the free regulation among themselves
of matters properly termed social, and it also
prohibits the enactment of any new laws on
that subject in future.
As illustrations: The laws in force when the
Constitution was adopted, left the churches in
this State free to regulate matters connected
with social status in their congregations, as
they thought proper. They could ssy who
should enter their church edifices and occupy
their seats, and in what order they should be
classified or seated. They could say that females
should sit in one part of the. church, and males
in another; and that persons of color, should,
if they attended, occupy such seats as were set
apart for them. In all this they were protected
by the common law of this Btate. The new
Constitntion forever guarantees this protection
by denying to the Legislature the power to pass
any law withdrawing it; or regulating the social
status in such assemblages.
And I may here remark that precisely the
same protection is guaranteed to the colored
churches, in the regulation of social status in
their assemblages, which is afforded the whites.
Neither can ever intrude upon the other, or in
terfere with their social arrangements without
their consent.
The same is true of railroad, and steamboat
companies, and hotel keepers. By the law in
existence at the time the Constitntion was adopt
ed, they were obliged to furnish comfortable
and convenient accomodations, to the extent of
their capacity to accommodate all who applied;
without regard to race or color. Bnt they were
not compelled to put persons of different races,
or of diff erent sexes, in the care or in the same
apartment; or to seat them at the same table.
This was left to their own discretion. They had
power to regulate it according to their own no
tions of propriety, and to classify their guests,
or passengers, according to race or sex; and to
place them at hotels in different houses, or dif
ferent parts of the same house; or on railroads
in different cars; or on steamboats in different
parts of the vessel; and to give them their meals was an;
at different tables. When they had made pub- surren'
lie these regulations all persons patronizing
them were bound to conform to them. And
those who did not like their regulations must
seek accommodations elsewhere. There was no
law to compel them to group together in social
connection, persons who did not recognize each
other as social equals.
To avoid collisions and strife, and to preserve
peace, harmony, and good order in sooiety, the
new Constitution has wisely prohibited the Leg
islature from enacting laws, compelling these
companies to make new social arrangements
among their patrons or to disturb those in exis
tence. The law shall stand as it is, says the
Constitution, leaving each to regulate such mat
ters as they think best, Rnd there shall be no
legislative interference. All shall be comfort
ably accommodated, but you shall not be com
pelled by law, to force social equality, either
upon your trains, your boats, or your hotels.
The same remarks apply to the regulation of
social status among families, and to the social
intercourse of society generally.
This, in my opinion, is one of the wisest pro
visions in the Constitution; as it exclndes from
the halls of the Legislature, a question which
was likely to produce more unprofitable agita
tion, wrangling and contention, than any other
subject within the whole range of authority.
Government has full power to regulate civil
and political rights, and to give to each citizen
of the State, as our Code has done, equal civil
and equal political rights, as well as equal pro
tection of the laws. But Government has no
power to regulate social status. Before the
laws the Code of Georgia makes all oitizens
equal, without regard to race or color. Bnt it
does not create, nor does any law of the State
attempt to enforce, moral or social equality be
tween the different races, or citizens of the
State. Such equality does not, in fact, exist,
and never can. The God of Nature made it
otherwise, and no human law can produce it,
and no human tribunal can enforce it. There
The Legislature has the same right to tum
such a law that it has to say how close shalto
the degree of consanguinity to make a manias
void : or, to regulate the ages of the parties-^
say how old the person shall be; and. in faa.
the regulation of a civil contract, descrikii-
who shall and who shall not enter into it, otU
tween what parties it shall be void, has notbn
to do with the social status of the citizen.
If the law, making illegal the marriage nb.
tion between whites and blacks, were a b
regulating the social status of the citizen, I n
not prepared to say that it would notbfc
very terms of the Constitution, be inoperatin
as contrary to the Constitution. In myjcd;
ment there were no such laws in operitior. si.
it was the intent of the Convention to deck-
that none ever should be passed. The sou
status of the citizen is not the subject of ]m
lation and ought not to be.
