| A CASE of considerable importance was de
cided by Judge Patrick at the recent term Of
Court in Csdiz, in which the rights of citi-
zen of this county was involved. A man was
indicted for criminal intercourse with q color.
ed woman, (under the stStutes of Ohio). The
defendant set up the plea that the statute was
i. violation of the 18th Amendment of the
Constitution and of the Civil Rights Bill.
The Republican in giving history Of the
case, says:
1t was an old circumstance that q white
man in Harrison county, Ohio, should plead
the merits of the Civil Rights Bill, in justif
cation of an act that is in direc violation of
the laws of Ohio,-but be did it and with sue
cess. The Court held that the law was super
seded by the l4th Amendment and the Civil
Rights Bill, and consequently that Aurdaugh
could not be held guilty under it.
The presumption is that the decision of the
Court is right. 1t is certainly in accordance
with the spirit of the Civil Rights Bill, and
we regard it as justice, whatever the law may
be. The statute of Ohio forbids marriage be-
tween the white and colored races. Judge
Patrick's decision sets this statute aside. Mr.
HollIngsworth, the Prosecuting Attorney, will
take the case up to the Su rene Court for de-
cision. He held, in his argument in the case,
that the State has the same right to forbid
marriage between the white and celored races
that it has to forbid marriage between cous-
ins, or other persons of near blood relation
ship; that the primary object of the law in
both cases was the welfare of the citizens of
the State, both white and colored.

A Word TO PARENTs-The parent who. has
the ability to educate his daughter and fails to
do it, is guilty of wrong which he can never
undo. Ignorance is q crime, and doubly SO
when the facilities for q thorough education
are within the reach of nearly all. The Pitts
burgh Female College, the leading school for
ladies in Pennsylvania, and one of the best in
The United States, with its elegant buildings,
eight departments, and twenty-five teachers,
gives fully furnished and carpeted room,
boarding, light, fuel, church sitting, ten pieces
washing per week, and instruction in the full
English course and Latin for less thsn three
hundred dollars per year. Its facilities in
music are among the best on the continent.
The fall term, as will be seen by reference to
the advertisement, commences Sept. s. Fer
