CUNNINGHAM, msy 14, 1869-lt the Opinion of the supreme COURT ON TBE INTERMARRIAGE OF NEGROES AND WHITES—MIS CEGINATION RULED OUl\ [reported kxpbksslt for the constitu tion, BY N. J. UAMMoND, SUPREME COURT REPORTS*.] Charlotte Scott, plaintiff in error, vs. The State of Georgia, defendant in error. In dictment Iw Adultery and Fornication from Dougherty county. Brown, C. J.—Delivering the Opinion. The reoorJ in this case pr esents a single question fer> the consideration and adiudi, tion of this Court. Have white persons and persons of oolor the right, under the Constitution and laws of Georgia, to inter marry, and live together, in this State as husband and wife ? The question is dis tinctly made, ajid it is our duty to meet it fiprly and dispose of it. Ihe Code of Georgia, as adopted by tho aew Constitution, section 1707, forever pro hibits the marriage relation between the two races, and declares all such marriages null and t*>M. With the policy of this law we hnve nothing to do. It is our duty to deolare what the the law is, not to make law. For myself, however, 1 do not h6s!trite to stty that it was dictated by wise statomansbip, and has a broad and solid foundation in en lightened polioy, sustained by souud rea« son and common sense. The amalgama tion of the races, is net only unnatural, but is always produoiivo of deplorable results. Our daily observation shows us, that the off-spring of these unnatural oonneotions. are generally siokly Snd effeminate, and that they are Inferior in physical develop ment and strength, to the full blood of eiths er race. It is sometimes urged that such mnrrioges should bo enoourged for the pur pose of elevating tho inferior race. The res ply is, that such connections never elevate the inferior raoa to the position of the sh« perior; but they bring down the superior to that of the inferior. They are produc tive of evil, and evil only, without anyoora responding good. Ido not propose to enter into any elab orate discussion of the question of polioy at this time, but only to express my opina ion, ater mature consideration and reflec tion. The power of the Legislature over the subject matter, when the Code was adopted, vfill nit, I suppose, be questioned. The Legislature certainly had as rauoh right to regulate the mdrriage relation, by prohib iting it between persons of different races, within the Levitioal degrees, or between iaioU. Both are necessary and proper reg ulations. And tho regulation now under section of the Code undor consideration, is in conflict with tho eleventh seotiOn of this dtote, whioh declares that: ‘The sooial statfrs Os the citizen shall never bo the subs jeot of the legislation.” In so far an the marriage relation is con nected with the sooial status, tho very re verse is true. That Beotion of the Consti tution forever prohibits legislation of any eharnojor, regulating or interfering witli the sooial status. It leaves sooial rights, and status, whore it finds them. It prohibits tho Legislature from repealing any laws of existence, which protect persons in tho free regulation, among themselves, of matters properly termed sooial; and it also prohibits the enaotment of any now laws on that subject in future. As illustrations; the laws in force when the Constitution Was adopted, left the Churobes in this State lree to regulate matters oonneoted with sooial status in their congregations, as they thought prop er. They could' say who should enter their Chufch edifices and occupy seats, and in what order they should be classified or seated. Tney could say that feidales should sit in one part of the Chinch, 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 State, The new Constitution forever guarantees this protection by denying to tho Legisla ture the.power to pass any laW withdraw ing it; or regulating the sooial status in 6uch assemblages. And I may here remark, that precisely the same protection is guaranteed to the colored churches, in the regulation of so oial status in their assemblages, whioh is afforded the whites. Neither can ever in trude upon the other, or intcriere with their social arrangements without their consent. The same is true of railroad and steam, boat companies and hotel keepers. By the law in exiatenoe at the time the Constitu tion was adopted, they were obliged to fur. nisb comfortable and convenient accommo dations, to the extent of their capacity to aocummodate to all who epplied without regard' to rade or color. But they were uot compelled to put persons of different races, or of different sexes, in the samo cars or in the same apartments; or .seat them at the same table. This was left to their own dis cretion; They had power to regulate it ac cording to their own notions of propriety and to classify their guests or passengers, aocordiug to race or sex : or on it different parts of the vessel; and to give them their meals at different tables. Wbeu they had made public these regulations, all persons patronizing them were bound to conform to them, and those who did not like tbeir regulations must seek accommo dations elsewhere. There was no law to compel them to group together, in social connection, persons who did not recoguize eaoh otner as sooial equals. To avoid collisions and strfe, and to pre serve peace, harmony, and good order in society, the now Constitution haS wisely prohibited the Legislaturetrom enacting laws compelling these companies to rauke new social arrangements among their pa* trons, and to disturb those in existence.— The law shall stand as it is, says the Con stitution, leaving etch to regulate such matters as they think best, and there ehall be no legislative interference. All ahall be comfortably accommodated, but you shall not be Compelled' by law to foree social equality, either upon your trains; your boats, or in your hotels. The same remarks apply to the regula tion of social status amoug families, aud to tb- social interoouiss of society generally. This, m my opinion, is one of the wisest provisions in the Constitution, as it exoludes from tho halls of the Legislature, a ques tion which was likely to produce more un profitable agitation, wrangling and conten tion than any other subject within the whole range of their 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 protections of the laws.— But government has no power to regulate social status. Before the laws, the Code of Georgia makes all citizens equal, with out regard to raoa «r oolor. But it does not oreute, nor does any law of the State attempt to enforce moral or sooial equality between the different raoes, or citizens ot the State. Such equality does not in fact exist, and never oan. The God of nature made it otherwise, and no human law can produce it, and no human tribunal can en force it. There are graduations and class es throughout the universe. From the tal lest Aroh-Angel in Heaven, down to the meanest roptilo ou Earth, moral and sooial inequalities exist, tind must continue to exist throughout all eternity. While the great mass of the conquering people of the States whioh adhered to the Unian during the'late civil strife, have cluinJd the right to diotate the terms of settlement; and Have maintained in pow •or, tho.lo who demand that the people of the States lately In rebellion, shall acoord to the oolored race equality of civil rights including the ballot, with the same protec tion under the laws which are afforded the white face; they havo neither required of us the Dractice of miscegination, nor have they claimed for the oolored race, sooial equality with the white raoe. The fortunes of war have oompolled us to yield to the freodmeu the legal rights above mentioned, but we have neither authorized nor legal - ized the marriage relation between the ra ces, nor havo wo enaoted laws or plaoed it in the power of the Legislature horeafter to make laws regulating the sooial status, so as to oompel our peotilo to meet the ool ored raoe ou ternts of sooial equality. Suoh a state of things oould never he de oired by the thoughtful and reflecting per* tion of eithor race. It would never promote peace, quiet, or si cial order in any State or community. No such laws are of force in any of tho Northern States, so far as I know, and it is supposed, no oonsiderable part of the people of any State desire to see them enaoted. Indeed, the most abso lute and despotio governments do not at tempt to regulate sooial status by fixed laws, or to enforoe sooial equality among raoes or olasses without their consent. As already stated, we are of the opinion that ttevseutionni Aha Uoda, wtuab IwVwU intermarriagOß between tho raoes, is neith er inoonsisteut with, nor is it repealed by tho section of the Constitution now under consideration. It, therefore stands upon tho Statute hook of the State forever pro hibiting all such marriages and declaring them to bo null and void. Let the judgment of tho Court below be affirmed IQu We accidently overheard a young lady use the term ‘‘Monkey roost,” on the street the other day. Os course we were curious to know what she meant by it, as wo were not awgro that Monkoys are in the habit of rousting. Following along for a short distance—positively with no intention of eavesdropping—we learned enough to know that the young lady applied the term ‘‘Monkey roost” to those street oorners, where yoii&g men who are too lazy to have anything to do, loaf and watch the feet ot passing ladios. “There they sit,” she eaid, “half a dozen of them, the live long day, if the sun don’t shiim on their “roost”—six pairs of hauds gloves, six ratanß twirling about, six mouths squirtiDg tobac co juice on the side* walk fur our dresses to drag through, six silk hats on six treads that have no more bruins in them than a mullet’s, and six pairs of impudent eyes ready to gaze at our ankles when we lift our skirts the least bit, as we have to do in order to keep then! out of the filth with which they bespatter the sidewalk I It’s mean!

The State Fair.— Colonel. D. W. Lewis having returned from Wash ington, a meeting of the committee appointed' to locate the grounds for holding the State Fair, in Novem ber, met yesterday afternoon for con sultation and to hear what Col. Lew is might have to say in regard to the matter. He Stated that his mission to Wash* ington was' entirely successful, and that he had returned with an order froffi'the Secretary of War, upon Col. Lewis, of the Freedman’s Bureau, to turn over 1 to the State Agricultural Society the armory buildings held by the Bureau in this city. Col Lewis further stated that he had scarcely a doubt that the Government would finally donate the property to the State for agricultural purposes and the holding of State Fairs. Wo understand that the work of putting the armory buildings and grounds in order and proper condi* tion for the Fair, in November, will be immediately entered upon by the committee of arrangements, and when completed there will be nothing of the sort, in the country, that trill surpass them in convenience, ele gance and amplitude.—Macon Tele graph- .

The Rochester Chronicle has been told a now story about General But ler. The directors of a Boston bank) having their suspicions aroused, noti fied their cashier that an examina tion of the books and cash in his pos session must be had. The cashier went to Butler and stated his case.— He had misappropriated funds of the bonk to the amount of $50,000. He asked whether he had not better owii up, restore what he could,' and let.hia bondsmen make up the defioit. But ler, after some consideration, directed hinf to attend the meeting of the di rectors, deny there was anything wrong, and, if they desired, to sur render the keys and go home, leav ing them in possession. He did os direoted—gave up tho keys, and the directors, upon examining the books and cash in the vaults, found a deficit, as they anticipated, of $50,000. They notified the cashier and his bonds- men, who, in due time, appeared ac companied by Butler, who, acting as spokesman, inquired what the mattor was. The directors informed him of the facts, and offered to compromise the matter by the return of tho miss ing funds. General Butler coolly re plied that his client had surrendered the keys to them, and that the defic it, if any, occurred after the directors were in possession. The directors now began to see the. dilemma in which they were placed and sent for a lawyer, only to find that they had made a false step ; that they had no proper evidence of the amount of ca*h in the bank when surrendered by the cashier, and that in taking possession they had lost their oilly remedy. As it would not do to let the stockholders know how they had been overreached, the, directors had to go to work and make up the loss out of their own pockets. They gave their cashier the certificate . of char ter, which he demanded, and he went to work in another bank in the same JS** A lady, who has just return ed from passing the winter in Flori da, states that a planter made his ap pearance in town from the depths of tho everglades, bringing with him two negroes for salo !
