say---How the Couple Lived. 4
In our paper week or two since
we gave an account of marriage
which lately took place in Michigan
between a negro and a white girl,
the daughter of a wealthy EIaclS
Republican. The papers bring rs
additional particulars which we publish
below. We publish all this because
it forcibly exhibits the deplorable re-
suits of Black Reublioanism. The
Detroit Free Press says:
The late rumpus in the family
affairs of the amalgamationist Judson,
caused by his daughters running
away with negro, has excited the
laxative propensitits of bis neighbors,
who give publicity to numerous
little incidents which 60 to show

young man engaged to marry the
girl Susan, the heroine of the Dasty
Eelopement, and returned home from
San Francisco. California, fer that
purpose. His father and the Judson
family were neighbors, and the pious
Judson, having quarreled with the

in the family in the same manner
as the children: that be ate with
them, slept 10 the same rooms,
went to church with the family, be-
ing in all respects exalted above
any decent white laborer in that
vicinity. The son openly avows
that the affair is just retribu-
ton for the detestable course
which his father has always taken
in this respect. According to the
assertions Of those who know the
latter we'll, he has often avowed bis
preference to have his daughter
marry negro rather than a Dem
ecrat. If his present imbecile h; tired
