Charlotte Scott plaintifl in error, vs.
The Stale of Georgia, defendant in
error Indietmont for Adultery und
Fornication, from Dougherty coun
ty.
Uiiown, C J.—Delivering the opinion
The record it) thk caee jireaents a
single question for tl.o consideration
anti adjudication of this Court. Have
white persons and persons of color the
right, under tho constitution and laws
of Georgia, to intermarry, and live to
gether, in this Stale, as husband and
wife ? The question is distinctly made
and it is our duty to meet it fairly und
dispose of it.
The Code of Georgia, as adopted by
the new constitution, section 1707, for
ever prohibits the marriage relation be
tween the two laces, and declares all
tuolt mat ritigea null and void.
With the policy’ of this law we have
nothing to do. ft is our duty to de
clare what the law is, not to make law.
For myself, however, 1 do not hesitate
to say that it was dictated by wise
statesmanship, and lias a broad and
solid foundation in enlightened policy,
sustained by sound reason and com
mon s, use. The rmalgamattcu of the
races is not only unnnumd, but al
ways productive of den’orable results
Ou: cl oily observation shows us that
the off spting of these unnatural con
nections are generally sickly and ef
feminate, and that they are inferior
in physical development and strength,
to the full blood of either race. It is
sometimes u"ged that such marriages
should ho encouraged for the purpose
of elevating the inferior raoo. The re
ply is, that such connections never ele
vate the inferior race to the j • ion of
the superior, but they bring 1 vn the
superior To that ot the inferior
They are productive of evil, and evil
only, wi.hout any corresponding good.
I do not propose to enter into any
elaborate discussion of the question of
policy at ‘.lns time, but only to express
my opinion, utter mature consideration
and reflection.
The power of the Legislature over
tho subject matter, when the Code was
adopted, will not, I suppose, be ques
tioned. The Legislature certainly had
as much right to regulate the marriage
relation, by prohibiting it between
persons ot different races , as they had
to prohibit it between persons within
the Levitiual degree, or between idiots.
Both are necessary and proper regu
latiorN. And the regulation now un
der consideration is equally so.
But it has been urged by the learned
counsel lor the plaintifl in error, that
the section of tho Code under consid
eration is in conflict with the eleventh
section of the fi st article of the consti
tution of tiris State, which declares
that: “The social status of the citizen
shall never be the subject of legisla
tion.”
In so far as the marriage relation is
connected with the social status, the
very reverse is true. That section of
the constitution forever prohibits legis
lation of any character, regulating or
interfering with the social status.
It leaves social rights, and status
where it finds them. It prohibits the
Legislature from repeating any laws
in existence, which protect persons in
the free regulation among themselves,
of matters properly terrned.Social, and
it also prohibits the enactment of any
new laws on that subject iu future.
As illustrations, the laws in force
when the constitution was adopted left
the Churches in this State freo to reg
ulate matters connected with social
status in their congregations as they
thought proper. They could say who
should enter their Church edifices and
occupy seats, tmd in whet order they
should be clasetfi'sd or tested. They
could etty that females should sit in
one part of tho 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 we're protected by tho
1 e jtiimon law of this State. The now
constitution forever guarantees this
protection by denying to the Legisla
ture the power to pass any law with
out drawing it, or regulating the social
status in such assemblage*. *
And I may here remark, that pre
cisely the same protection is guaran
teed to the colored churches, in the
regulation of social status in their as
semblages which is afforded the whites
Neither can ever intrude upon The oth
er, or interfere w ith their social arango
m nts without their consent.
Tho name is true of railroad and
steamboat companies end hotel kcep
ei*;- Tty the law in existence at the
time tho constitution was anbplod,
they were obliged to furnish comforta
aud convenient accommodations to the
extent of their capacity to accommo
date, to all who applied, without re
gard to race or color. Hut they were
not compelled to put persons of differ
ent races, or ol different sexes in the
some cars or in the same apartments;
or seat them at the same table. This
was left to their own discietion. They
had power to regulate it according to
their own nrtions of propriety, and to
classify their guests or passengers, ac
cording to ra corst x ; and to place
them at hotels in different houses or
different parts of tho same house; or j
on railroads, in and ffcrenl cars; or on
steamboats, in different parts of the
vessel and to give them their meals at
different tableu. When they had made
public these regulations, all persons
patronizing them wore bound to ton.
fuim to them, and those who did not
like their regulations must seek ac
commodations elsewhere.
To avoid collision and strifr, and to
preserve peace, harmony, and good
order in society, the new constitution
has wisely prohibited the Legislature
from enacting laws compelling these
companies to make new sooiul arrange
men s among their patrons, or to dis
turb those in existence. The law shall
stand as it is, says tLo constitution,
j leaving each to regulate such matters
as they think best, and there sh-dl he
no legislative interference. All shall
he comfortably accommodated, but you
shall not be compelled by la w to force
social'equality eithe r upon your traias
your bouts, or in your hotels.
The same remarks apply to the reg
ul dion of social status among families,
and to the social intercourse tj society
generally.
This, in my opinion, is one of the
wisest provisions in the constitution, as
it excludes from the hulls of the Leg
islature a question which was likely to
produce more unpr.Stable agitation,
wrangling und c nten.ion than any
other subject within the whole rang,
of their authority
Government tins full power to regu
late civil and political rights, und to
give to each citizen of the State, as our
Code has done, equal civil and equal
political rights, as well ns equal pro
tection of the laws." Hut government
has no power to regulate Eoeial status.
Before the laws, tho Code of Georgia
makes all citizens equal, w ithout re
gard to race or color. But it does not
create, nor does any law of tho State
attempt to enforce moral or social
equality between tho different races or
citizens of the State. Such equality
does not in fact <xist, aud never oan. i
The God ot nalure made it otherwise,
and no human law can produce it, and
no human tribunal can enforce it.—q
There are gradations and classes
throughout the universe. From the
tallest Arch-Angel in Heaven, down to
the meanest reptile on Earth, moral
and social inequalities exist, and must j
continue to exist throughout all eterni !
iy-
While the great mass of the con
quering people of the States which ad
hered to tho Union during the late civ
il strife have claimed the right to dic
tate the terms of settlement; and have
maintained in power those who demand 1
that the peopls'of the Sl'-ttes lately in
rebellion shall accord to tbo colored
race equality of civil rights, including
the ballot, with the same protection
under the laws which are afforded the
white race; they have neither required
of us the practice ot miscegenation,
nor huve they claimed for the colored
race social equality with the white race.
The fortunes ol war huve compiled us
to yield to Ike freedmen the legal
rights above mentioned, but we have
neither authorized nor legalized the
marriage relation between the race*,
i nor Lave we enacted laws or placed it
| in tho power ol the Legislature horc
aitei to make laws regulating the so-
cial status, so as to compel our people
to meet tho colored race on tonne of
social equality. Such a state ol things
could never he desired by tho thought
ful and rellecting portion of either race.
It could never promote peace, quiet,
or social order in any State or commu
nity. No such laws arc of force in any
of the Northern Stales, so far as 1
know, and il is supposed, no consider
able part of tho people of any State
i desire to see them enacted. Indeed,
the most absolute and despotic govern
meats do no* attempt to regulate social
status by fixed laws, or to enforce so
cial equality among races or classes
without their consent,
i As already stated, we are of the
opinion that tho seetioo ot the Code,
‘which forbids intermarriage-: between
the races is neither inconsistent with,
nor is it repealed by tbc section of the
'constitution now under consideration.

Cheap Pleasures.
Did you ever study the cheapness of
some pleasures ? Do you know how lit
tlo it tako3 to make a multitude happy 1
Such trifles as a penny, a word, ora
smile do the work. There aro two or
three boys passing aloDg, givo them
each a cbesnut, and how smiling they
look ! They will not be cross for some
time. A poor widow who lives iu a
neighborhood who is the mother of half
a di z m children ; send them a half a
peek of sweet apples, and they will all
be happy. A child has lost his arrow
—tho world to him—and ho mourns
sadly : help him to fi id it, or make him
another, and how quickly will the sun
shine play upon his face. A boy has
as much as he can do to pilo up a load
of wood, assist him a few moments, or
speak a pleasant word to him, aud be
forgets Lis toil and works awsy without
miuding it. Your apprentice basbro
ken a mug, or cut the vjst two large, or
slightly injured a piece of work say,
“You scoundrel,” and he feels misera
ble; but remark, “I am servy,” aud he
will try to do bolter. You employ a
man—pay him cheerfully, and speak a
pleasant word to him, and be leaves
your bourn with a 'contented heart with
atailcs and gladness. As you pass along
the street, yen meet a familiar face, say
‘•'good morning,’ as though you felt hap
py, and it will work admirab'y iu the
heart of your n igbbor.
Pleasure is cheap—who will not be
stow it liberally*? If there arc smiles,
•sunshino and flowers all about us,
let us not grasp them with a raiser’s
list, and lock them up in our hear!?.—
No. Rather let us take them and scat
tor them about us, in tho cot of tho wid
ow, among the group of children in the
crowded mart, where men of bu incss
congregate, in our families and cvcry
whoe.
We can make tho wretched hnppy ;
tho diseontented cheerful; the afii oted,
resigned, at exceedingly cheap rates.
Who will refuse to do it ?

“What ate the best and most healthy
summer drinks ?”
The immodiate object of drinking itr
to satisfy thirst. There is but one
thiog capable of doing this, and that is
water. Tho principal ingredient of all
tbc different kinds of drinks usoi is wa
ter, and tho purer tho water, and the
lc*s quantify cf other substances mixed
with i*, tbo more perfectly does it sup
ply tho wants of the system. This be
ing tho case, pure water is the beat and
most healthful of drinks, not only for
summer, but. fbr all seasons of the year.
The manner in which it is drank is
very important. If it is swallowed rap
idly and in largo quantities, it may pro
duee undue distention and pressure of
the stomach, and interfere with its func
tion* and those of the surrounding or
gans. If the water thus swallowed b«
\ery cold, and tho system at the timo,
l’’ .. Ting f.-ouv heat and fatigue, very
serious results are apt tfto
sudden shock. Water should always
be drank slowly. By sipping, tho de
sire for drink is moro cffootually grati
fied, antfany dcsirablo quantity at any
temperature may be drank without in
jurious eff.cts. leo water in summer is
not objectionable if taken in this way.
Water should not be drank at or soon
after meals, as it interferes with the
process of digestion.
keep cool:
“It is easy to say so,” says one, “but
how aro you going to do it, this hot
weather ?” I will tell you. Tho cloth
ing should be light and loose, and of
such a character that the air can readily
pass through it. It should be changed
often. Clothing worn through tbo d*y
should not be worn at night. Tho en
tire body should be bathed every day
st as to keep tbc cores open aud tho
ukia clean. Perspiration should not to
checked but cecouraged, if one docs not
perspiro easily. Perspiration necessi
tates evaporation, and evaporation cools,
Eat sparingly, and avoid everything of
a heating, simulating, or irritating char*
actor,as salts, spices, oondiments, sweets
fats, tea, ooffoc, tobacco, alcoholic drinks,
&o. The diet should consist principal
ly or entirely of fruits, berries, and veg
t tables. The only proper driDk is wa
ter. Especially avoid eitiDg more than
the system requires, as excels in amount
of food is one of the p-iucipal causes of
that lazy, listless, uncomfortable feel
ing experienced by ro many daring hot
weather. Keep a clean conscience as
well as a clean skin and clothing, and
don’t get excited. If uncomfortably
warm at any time, immerse the hands
and feet in cold water, or lot a stream
of cold water run upon tho wrists or
ankles for a short timo, or hold a piece
of ice ia the hands. This will soon
cool tbc whole body.— Hall's Journal

A W’euoep Cotipr.x Sutii-RisED. A
sow week since, there was a wedding on
Barone street, New Orleans, celebrated
with groat eclat , and tho newly wedded
tet out at onoc on a bridal tour.
The ceremony took place at four
o’clock in the afternoon, and at fivo
o’tlock they were ou board a splendid
steamer bound for the Upper Mississip
pi.
As soon as tho vessel was under way
the pissengers crowded the saloon, and
mirth and revelry began to hold a fes
tival.
A dance was improvised, and jny and
merriment was protrac ed into the “we»
small hours.”
Now, it so happened that the berth
next to our nowly-married friends was
occupied by a lively little matron and
her infant.
Wishing to enjoy as much p’sssore
as possible, she had entrusted her babo
to a servant, with iostrnctioKS to pnt it
to bod as soon as it went to sleep, while
she herself joined in the dance.
By a strange mistake the servant mis
took tbc state-room, and deposited the
rosy infant in the bridal couch.
NoWjWhcu tho hour for retiring came,
tho groom led bis blushing bride to the
door, and modestly waited outside for
her to disrobts and retire.
Goc oan very readily imagine bis as
tonishment, therefore, when the Dcxt
instant he heard his name called fran
tically, and in accents of surprise and
distrese.
Opening the door, he looked in dubi
ously.
“What’s the matter, my love?’’
“Oh, Ilenry, look here !’*
“Why, bless me, it’s a baby.!”
“Yes, but oh, Henry, how did it come
here—do you think it’s ours ?
“Well, no 1” replied Ilenry, solemn
ly, “I think it almost too soon.”
“Oh, it certainly is, but then what
I shall we do V’
