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. it, therefore, stand-sjupoa t*:o Statute ! book of tie Stato f.-rever prohibiting ; all such marriages and declaring them I to he null and void. j Let the judgment of the Cdurl be low bo confirmed. 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 ? Rule* of tlut Printing Office.

Kuiiiiucr Driuk*. “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 of Health 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.
