The Supreme Court of Georgia to-
day decided that the code Of Georgia,
adopted by the new convention, for
ever prohibits the. marriage relation
between white persons and persons of
African descent, and declares that
such marriages are null and void.
Second-This section Of the code is
not repealed by, nor is it inconsistent
with, that part of the Constitution,
which declares that the social status
of the citizens shall never be the sub
ject of legislation.
That clause of the Constitution alb
so!ate!y denies to the Legislature the
power to pass laws in future allowing
the social status, or compelling the
two races to unite in social Intercourse,
as the laws then in existence allow cd
$8urches, for instance, to determine
for themselves who should occupy their
seats, and where they should sit, and
permitted railroads and steamboat
companies and hotel keepers to classi-
fy and assign places to those using
their accommodations, according to
social status and grade, as they might
think proper. The Constitution puts
1T beyond the power of the Legisla-
ture ever to enact any law compelling
them to make, difficult olassifications,
or to group together in social inter.
course those wh2 do not recog-
nlze each other as social equals, and
the social relations of citizens arc not
Aae proper subjects of legislation.
