n egro Marriages.

Our representivc in the low.r branch Of
our State Legislature. Geo. w. Morgan.
E,qr., introduced on the 9Th instant bill
to make legal marriages heretofore contrsc-
tod and hereafter to be contracted betwcon
negroes. 1t places the marriages of these
parties under the protection of law. with all
the responsibilities which attach to the mar
riagcs of white persons. BY the md Sec
ton Of thu till, negroes contracting mar.
risge are required to take out license tho
same as in the case Of white parties. A
very considerable amount will thus be added
to the revenue of the State, but tn. bet
feature of the bill is. that it will contribute
much to the moral elevation ofth, negro rsco
in our State. TIE following are tho pro-
visions of the bill. which we hope 70 see
passed before tho adjournment Of the pros
cnt session OF the Legislature:
marriages. heretofore made and celebrated
in this State by and between colo:cd peo-
pic are hereby confirmed and made valid
TO any intent and purpose, from the tine
of the celebration OF such marriages res
pcctivo'y, and every such marriage shall
be held aud taken by all courts Of this
S.ato TO be good and sufficient in law & to
ali lntcnts aud purposes, provided that iu
ever case the parties, claiming TO have been
married by competent person, shall by
sufficient proof before some Justice of tho
peace, establish the fact of having been so
married, y certificate of which shall be 6led
with the clerk Of the circuit court Of thc coun-
ty i'll which said Marriage was celebrated.
or the Court of Common Pleas of Bati-
more city, to be preserved with the regis
ter OF marriage llccns,s in the Office OF said
Clerk
Section . That in al. marriages hcrcaf-
ter celebrated between colorcd persons. tho
parties, or some one in their behalf. shall
present t. the clergyman solemni1ins the
rights Of a marriage Il license, as required
III other cases of marriage. and every such
clergyman is hereby prohibited from SOL
cmnizing such marriage without the pro-
ductlun of such liconso.
