To be sure, this last named legislation only
proposes to give negro the same right to
enter into and perform q contract of marriage
which a white man has. The central idea,
however, of the act of April, 1866, and of the
political party that placed it upon the statute
book, is that a negro, having the same moral,
intellectual, and physical qualities as white
man, is, in every respect, and certainly before
the law, the equal of the latter.
1t is upon such notions that universal or
manhood suffrage is vindicated. lis evident,
therefore, that those who reported the ordi-
nance in the Constitutional Convention of
Alabama, to which we refer, must have had in
view an element in the relative conditions OF
white and black citizens which ought to pro-
hibit intermarriages between the two. 1t is
evident, also, that the radical white Repubh-
cans, agreeing with the colored delegates in
the convention, do not recognize any such ele-
ment 1t becomes material, therefore, to inquire
what this element is, how far it extends, and
whether it does not reach beyond the mar
rage relation, and extend to political affairs and
duties.
There is another feature of this subject
which it may be interesting to consider. 1t is
an admitted principle of American law that a
marriage valid by the law of the State in which
it is celebrated, though it would be invalid II
entered into under the same fOrmalities in the
place of the domicile of the parties, is good
everywhere. A white man and anegro woman,
| citizens and residents of Alabama, can, there
fore, so far as difference of color is concerned,
| contract and solemnize valid marriage in
Massachusetts, if they conform to all the pro-
visions of the statutes of that Commonwealth,
and when they return TO Alabama their chill
dren of the hybrid race will be legitimate and
entitled to inherit in such capacity.
| This question of intermarriage of Africans
with persons of the white European races is
NEST interesting, and becoming every day, by
reason of Republican legislation, of fearful
practical Importance. The fundamental ides
of the Republican party, in its treatment o
the Southern States, is the co-equality of tht
white and black races. Ought such oo-equalE
to be permitted to intermarry2 We shall b

done this in reconstruction; we have done II
in our well-intendsd but imperiectly digssted
Tenure OF Office bill. We must remember the
lessons Of our Baltimore Convention expe-
rience, and he sure have for our next eau
didates representative men. Mr.. Johnson
was nominated by the "hurrah- boy, " melo-
dramatic, blood and thunder feeling Of noisy
loyalty-just as we are requested now to nomi-
nate negative aud uncertain men by the roll
of the drum. We protested against the
'hurrah" business in 1964-iust as we pro-
test against the drum-tap business now. We
can best avoid impeachment scandals by
electing men whose records cannot be inn
peached.
One point more. We trust the country will
not fail to note that Congress has acted in
this matter with patience-with wisdom-with
serene dignfty-without passion. A few indi-
vidual members may have said Incorporate
things, but the action of Congress has not
been Incorporate. Impeachment has been
put to rest. The national grand inquest finds
no bill Of indictment against Andrew Johnson.
Now let us proceed to retrenohment, financial
reform, and the final reconstruction of the
States.

Marriage Between White and Black
Citizens.

Marriage Between White and Black
Citizens.
From the N. Y. World
The Civil Rights bill passed by Congress
April 8, 1866, declares that all persons born in
the United States, except Indians not taxed,
are citizens Of the United States, unless con-
victed of crime, and have co-equal right, in
every State of the United States, to make and
enforce contracts. The same law also ordains
that whoever, under color of any statute
(Which includes no State officer acting under
a State statute) shall subject any colored
man to any different punishment, pain, or
penalty, from that prescribed for white men,
shall be guilty Of a misdemeanor, and, on
convection, be punished by fine or imprison-
ment. The purpose of the law is to make
political equality between black and white
men, and its effect is to make Indians inferior
to both.
A committee of the Alabama Constitutional
Convention reported AN ordinance making it
obligatory on the Legislature of that State to
prohibit, under severe penalties, and make
void in that State all marriages between white
and black persons. When the report came up
for consideration in the Convention the radi-
Gals strongly resisted it, and black delegate
said it was CONTRARY to the Civil Rights bill''
to which we have just referred. The report
was thereupon laid over for day.
Marriage, according to the general princi-
pies of American Jurisprudence, while it may
be said to proceed from a civil contract be-
tween one man and one woman of the needful
civil and physical capacity, is yet something
more than a contract, for IL is a civil status
permitted by the sovereign will of the State,
and only to be abrogated by that will, when
ever the public good, or justice to both or
either of the parties, viii be thereby sub
served. The obligation of marriage is created
by the public law, subject to the public will,
and not to that of the parties. The State has
therefore the right to say who shall marry,
and what circumstances or events shall con-
stitute legal marriage. Want of mental
capacity; of proper age inexpedient relations
of affinity or consangunity; physical impotence
and incapaeity from social causes, have
always been considered among the causes JUS
tifying the State in prohibiting marriage. So,
too, in the olden time, as for exam
pie in Massachusetts,, until the year
is43, when the statute was re-
peaed, certain Northern States prohibited
marriage of white persons with Indians, ne
! groes or mulattoes. But this was long before
the adoption by Congress of the notions of the
equality of the white and black races, which
underlie the Civil Rights bill of April, 1866.

IRISH NEWS.
Why the Penians were not Hung.
From the Dublin Irishman.


T After the sentence of death, &c., passed on
General Burke, you will recollect what fuss
was made by political huxters and " loyal"
haters of Irish freedom to have that sentence
commuted to one far worse than death. No
doubt there were many sincere men mixed up
in that muddle of the political wire pullers, but
it is equally true that the whole affair was got
ten up at the instance of the government in
order to give them a prete1t for committing the
sentence-why, I shall show you before | con-
clude. Well, meetings were held, speeches
were made, and petitions were signed by dig
nitaries of the church and Mayors er-cathedrI-
intermingled with names of civic functionaries
Horrifed M.P.'s presented these respectable
petitions to the Commons, waited On the Pre-
mier, and packed their bags to be prepared to
start for the " foot of the throne" In all their
fuss and feathers there was not thought of
the next election-pure patriotism was at the
bottom of all. Then, after flood of petitions
and mountain of speeches, the Queen "yield-
ed to public opinion" and Burke is saved from
the gallows. Shout the grateful news to the
ends of the earth, Victoria has commuted the
death sentence of an Irish "rebel." But then
you need not, our kind Government already
telegraphed it to Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and
Washington, to lull the storm and pacify the
Next day the "loyal' press of Ireland was
in transports of joy, and England's praises
were sung in canticles of sublime loyalty.

were brought before a court to be disposed

tended that he was able to support himself
and little sister. He said they had a stove,
a bed, a table, some chairs and a few other
necessary articles, and with these he
thought they could keep house. The lad
