Moagrd Marriages IN A5a6ama.-
+ By a curious omission in the statute
of Alabama, relating to marriages, it
appears that marriages between
whites and blacks are lawful in that
State. Licenses are directed to be
issued TO authorize marriages "be-
tween any free persons in the State
NOT any free "white' persons
The question was only raised last
season, in Montgomery county,
where free negro man applied for a
license to ma my a white girl, and the
clerk, after ia king counsel, was OBJ
liged to issue it. The penalties for
refusal are very severe. The omis-
sion ofthe word was evidently an III
Iadvertence; but the letter of the law
is plain The rare case of an apph-
cation for such a license disclosed
the defect, and will probably cause it
to be amended.

do not wear well, and We regret to
say that the dealers do not always
let their customers know the differ
enee, though the price is well kept
up.
