ing states by law, and when not abso.
lutely contrary to law, they are reviled
and regarded as an offence against
public decorum. 80
/ 10 not say that the bill repeals state
laws on the subject ofmarriage between
tie two races, for as the whites are
forbidden to intermarry with the blacks,
the blacks can OILY make such contracts
as the whites themselves are allowed to
make, and therefore cannot, under this,
enter into the marriage contract withe
the whites ......
/ cite this discrimination, however,
as an instance of the state policy as TO
discrimination, and enquire whether il
congress can ahrogate all state laws oi
discrimination between the two races,
and the matter cf real estate, and suits,
and contracts generally congress may
not alsorepcai the state laws as to the
contract of marriage between the two
races. Hitherto. e, cry subject embraced
in the enumeration of rights contained
in the bill has been considered as ex.
cluslvely belonging to the states. They
all relate to the internal policy and econ.
