Ray" In Georgia recently white man
and a colored woman, who had been mar
ried under licence duly issued by the Or
binary, were in State court convicted Of
adultery and sentenced TO Imprisonment,
on the ground that marriages between the
white and the black races are forbidden by
the State statute, and are therefore illegal
and void. They sued out u writ of habeas
corpus, ard had their case taken before
Judge Erskine of the United States Dis
trict Court, claiming that the law under
which they had been convicted was in con-
PREVENTION Of the first section Of the Four
teenth Amendment which provides that
no State shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or inn
munities Of any citizens Of the United
States Judge Erskine decided that the
validity Of the statute in question had not
been effected by the adoption of the amend
ment, and that the pretended marriage Of
the parties was illegal, and thor convic.
ton just and proper under the laws. Ac-
cording to this decision, the marriage Of q
white man to black womanlis neither u
privilege nor right.

them. Nineteen Chinese we're put to
death by hanging and shooting and
many others we're maltreated by an in
furiated mob. The offense Of the Chi.
nese was being Chinese. The cause Of
humanity would be served if the Amer
lean Missionary Association were to
send its missionaries to the americans

however, that their outstanding influ-
ences would have much effect on such

had competitors-Pryor had none.
No one thought Of disputing his lead
ership." He lead the class in every
study, although one Of its youngest
members. His fsvorite studies we're
mathematics and metaphysics. He
loved to dwell in the highest ranges Of
mathematical problems, and concern
his mind with questions that the ripest
of our scholars had not ventured to
reach. All metaphysical subjects had a
deep interest for him, especially what
we may call the metaphysics Of theolo-
gy. He had strong religious tenden-
cies, and the impression was, when at
Princeton, that he would enter the min
istry. When he came to graduate, it
was hard to find q parallel for his
standing. For a hundred years no
student has stood so high, and the one
who came nearest to him--a student
whose college life is also historic-was
Aaron Burr, who graduated just hun.
bred years ago. The highest average
mark in the college is 100. Young
Pryor's average was 99.9 Shortly be-
fore his death signs Of mental WEAKNESS
were seen many symptoms of an over
taxed mind. The physicians believe
that at the time Of his death he was
suffering from congestion Of the brain /;
that this brought with it temporary in
sanity, and that he committed suicide.

A Lady's Argument for
the Dog Law.

Since the enactment of the dog
law by the Legislature, the dis
cussion that has arisen in County
Courts, and the various articles
published by the press of the
State, have revealed the fact that
a diversity Of sentiment exists in
regard to the beneficial results
that are to be expected. But the
main question is, whether sheep
or dogs are most important to the
prosperity Of the State. The fol-
lowing communication, written by
a lady living in Lewisburg, Mar
shall county, to the MARSHALL Ga
zette, shows plainly her sentiments
in regard to the law. She says !:
"MR. EDITOR On Saturday
night, Feb. Is, L had on our farm
twenty.nine head Of sheep, ali
ewes of selected kind. The dogs,
during the night, killed twenty
five, and wounded three, only one
escaping unhurt. OF the number
killed. sixteen of them had Young
lambs, and it was a scene the next
morning, to draw tears from any
human being, to see those lambs
sucking their dead mothers. We
need a dog law in this county to
get rid of the worthless, unneces-
sary dogs that prey and iced on
the property of others besides their
owners. We ak it, 20 protect
the poor sheppard innocent lambs,
and in behalf of the farmers wives

Mutilated Currency for
Postage Stamps.

citizens, as well rs ROstmasters, to
know that the United States Court

Gently decided that when mutila-

age stamps, the postmaster must
receive it. A citizen of that town
offered a mutilated 50 bill in pay
ment of postage, which was re.
fused. Suit having been brought,
the Federal Court gave judgment
against the postmaster for the
damages claimed and costs, a.
mounting to 800. The Court al.
so held that all departments Of
the government were bound to
sustain the currency of the govern.
ment, and the fact OF q bill being
more or less torn or mutilated,
should be no justification for its
being refused by any officer Of
anydepartment of the government.

The New York Express says
one of the most CALLING stipula-
tons exacted from the French by
the Germans, as a condition of
peace, is that during the three
years allowed for the payment of
the indemnity, $4,000 Prassian
troops will occupy Champagne,
exercising the right of requisition,
and living at the expense Of the
French Government. To a coun-
try SO impoverished as France is
now, to give board, washing and
lodging to these fifty thousand
Germans will be no joke-apart
from the wounded pride which
must be inspired by the occupa-
ton of territory by the enemy,
even after peace has been pro-
claimed. 1t is difficult to see how
these fifty thousand Germans can
remain in Champagne, for SO long
a period, without breeding future
trouble.

The End of the War.

The world has been no less as
tonished by the obstinacy and
pro'raction of the defense of Par
is than by the persistent mainte.
nance of a struggle which long a.
so was proved to be hopeless, 50
far as the French nation is con-
cerned. But the war is now
drawn to close. France cannot
longer refuse to acknowledge her.
self conquered. Through the
summer and fall there was the
hare chance Of rescue by a revi-
val of the ancient military ardor
of the French people, and devel.
Opement of a military genius such
as more than once, in the history
of the nation, came as a miracle,
not only to save it from destruc-
ton, but to place it at the head
of the world in power and ipfiu.
ence. But more than a miracle
wosld now be required to give
strength to France, broken as she
rs, by a series Of defeats and
disasters which have been only
less nameless than the heroism
with which defeats and disasters
have been met. al.
Itwould be madness for France
to continue resistance. Since the
eapulation of Metz, on the 9th
of October, upwards Of sixty bat
ties, great and small, have been
fought; but many of them were
little better than skirmishes. In.
this list, sorties are not included.
Out of sixty-three engagements
the Prussians have won thirty.
seven, the French twenty-five;
but among the former are the
great victories at lie Mans, ST.
Quentine, LIE Bourget, Vendome,
and Beaune ;, amoung the latter
that of Orleans, won by Gen. De
Paladines, which is, in fact, the on
Iy great battle the French have
gained, Four battles have been
indecisive. But then the Prus-
slams have reduced nine fortified
Iplaces, viz: New Brisaeh, Aux
onne, Thionville, Pfalsburg, Mont
medy, Nam, Nuts, Peronne and
Mezieres, and they have occupied
twenty-one cities and towns
Among the cities ere Dion, A
Imiens, Orleans, Rouen, Tours,
Dieppe, Abbeville, Blois, Fendome,
Epernay, lie Man and Alencon.
All Frapce north of line drawn
from Besancon to Nantes is under
the hoof of the emperor of
Germany" including therein the
capital. -.---
The struggle on the part of the
French has been one of despera.
ton. Every sortie from Paris,
and every man on the outside for
the relief of the Ill fated city have
been in the spirit Of desperation.
The French soldiers have rushed
upon the Prussian lines to die.
They have died gloriously,if any.
thing vain can be said to be glori-
-ous. s vi sLt' ai uHEH u.
