the origin Of these Illicit connections Mscsrty was
when Louisiana was under the dominion Of Spain.
At the age of seventeen, he dwelt With one Of his
uncles, also q Spanish officer, who lived with Q
woman of color. Augustin soon followed his sx-
ample, and had in succession several Hdisoms with
women of that ,lass until in l799 he took Celeste
Perault with whom he lived nearly City years, and
by whom he had sen. From 1915, to 1870, he
was Mayor Of the city of New Orleans, and died in
1t is matter of history, that under the Roman
empire, marriage fell gradually into dsuse Whether
tins was owing on the part of the to looseness
OF morals or some historians intimate, to their
unwiliigness to submit to the domestic tyranny,
which the matrons of the Sabiniaa race were wont
to exercise over their husbands, the fact is unde
niabie, and neither the fines imposed on bachelors
nor the giving OF seats of homer to married men, ia
all public places land exempting them to great ex
tent from the exactions of the use, had any effect
in arrestng the progress of the evil II is stated
all the bachelors in the city to his presence, ordered
them to 'mend their ways" and threatened them
with the consequences Of his displeasare If they did
not. But, although their fear Of the Emperor was
great, their fear of matrimony prevailed, and des
potic power had finally to yield to their obstinaoy.
AS marriage fell into disuse, what wa called in
home unequal marriages superseded it, and rose in
Importance and dignity. Unequal marriages were
conventions, by which woman Of inferior condi-
ton gave herself or was given by her relatives, in
presence OF witnesses to single man, to live with
nim III StAte OF concuDfn8go MS was D serious
contract, intended to be permanent, and the ferns
of which were established by law. The woman who
entered into it did lose CASTE she retained the
good opinions Of her friends and relatives. and her
children had capacity to inherit her estate aud
portion of that of their father, either by will or
ab in'estato This is doubt the origin Of the
ganic marriage as it now exists in Germany. I'M
equal marriages of omm0n occurrence in
Spain, while that country formed part of the Ro-
man empire. By an express provision of the Span
ish law the governors Of the provinces were forbid
den to marry, and were authorized to have concu.
bines. Such, too, was the law of Louisiana, after
II came under the dominion of Spain; and, q,
there were at that time but few women Of the white
race in the colony, and hardly any of equal condi
ton with the officers of the government and of the
troops stationed here consequences that these
gentlemen formed cont ections with women of color.
This custom, coming as it did from the ruling class
soon spread through the colony, and persevered
in long after there ceased to be any for its
continuance 1t was to remedy this ate of things
that the trainers of the civil code of Louisiana of
1905 created the Hcapacity for colored children to
inherit by declaring all duciary trusts to be there
after unlawful and void ORpHEUs.
