minutes conversation asked him to advance

of having lost all his property, and must have
money. The old gentleman had plenty Of money

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LAWS.

A great many of the States of the yIn-
ion have laws against the intermarringe
of the races. Such laws are not confined
to any section, but may be found upon
the statute books of frigid aud rigid
Rhode Island rs well as those of Virgin
in; upon those of Indiana in the West as
we'll as Georgia in the South. They are
founded in sound and wise policy,
which only seeks to enforce what is ne
;essary for the protection Of society CO.
iectiyely and us individuals. Despite
these laws and condemnation of society,
however, there have been numerous vio-
lations of the laws, and consequently
several indictments have resulted. Vir-
ginia and Indians are taking The lead in
the matter, and under the proceedings in
them the constitutionality of the law has
arisen, and the aid of the United States
Courts has been invoked to give a con-
stEuct!on .o the Laws 4 test case has
been made of Edmund Kenney, colored,
who married Mary Hall, white, contrary
to the laws of Virginia, of which State
they were citizens. The parties had
been co-habiting together, and when
threatened with prosecution therefor,
contrary 10 the provisions of the Virgin
iaa a.ate, sts!.aattee es:::ey !eA The Stats aud went
to Washington City, where there is no
las against miscegenation,. and were
married, after which they returned to
Virginia. They were indicted, tried,
convicted and sentenced to Eve years
each in the penitentiary, where they are
now confined. Edmund Kenney procured
writ of ha5eas corpus from Judge
Hughes, ofthe Circuit Court of the United
States for Virginia, and the case was full
ly and ably argued before him on both
side5. Judge hughes reserved his decis-
ion, and after several days OF research
and thought, decided adversely to the
petition, holding that the law Is constitu.
tional, and that each State has the eight
to regulate the marriage relation within
its own limite. The opinion is an able

eiistained by the Supreme Court of the
United States whenever tho question is
carried there. In the case of the woman,
Mary Hall, proceedings are pending in
the United States District Court, from
which the case will go by appeal to the
Supreme Court of the United States for n
final determination of tbs whole question.
Judge Hughes bases his opinion on the
ground that citizenship does not carry
whit the right to marry whoever the
citizen pieases. For instance, a man
and bis slater are are both citizens, and
yet every State in the Union has laws
fsrbiading them to intermarry ; and 90 of
other relations, from which It necessarily
follows that Il. tho State has the right 10

to maintain The conduct Of national
election against the same local violence
that would overthrow it, The discrimi-
nation has never been attempted in any
previous legislation by cnng-css, aLd is
no more compatible with the sound prin-.
ciplcs of the constitution or the neccs-
sary maxims and methods of our
system of government on occasions
Of elections thar ut other times.
In the early leglAlati1n Of 1902 and
1913, by which the militia Of the states
was the only military power res0rtcd to
for the execution Of the constitutional
powers in support Of state or national
authority, both functions of the govern
mcht were put upon the same footing,
and by the act Of 1907 the employment
OF the army and navy was authorized for
the performances Of both constitutional
duties III the same terms. In all later
statutes on the same subject matter the
same measure Of authority to the govern
nent has been accorded for the perform
ancc of both these duties. No precedent
has been found in any previous legisla-
ton, and no sufficient reason given for
discrimination in favor of state against
national authority which this bill con
talns. Under the sweeping terms of the
bill, the national government is efftctu-
ally shut out from thc discharge Of the
right and from the discharge Of the I'M
pcrative duty TO use its whole executive
power wherever required for the enforce
mcnt CT its laws at places and times where
and when its elections are held The en-
plo. ment of its organized armed forces
for any such purpose would be an oficnse
ngains' law, unless called for by, and
therefore upon permission of, the author
tiles of the state in which the occasion
arises. What is this but the substitution
of the discretion of the state government
for the discretion of the government of
the United States as to the performance
of its own duties. In my Judgment this
Is an abandonment Of its obligations by
the national government, a subOrdination
of national authority, and an intrusion of
state supervision over national duties,
which amounts in spirit and tendency to
state supremacy. Though believe that
the existing statutes are abundantly ade-
quate to completely prevent military in
reference with the elections in the sense
in which the phrase is used in the title
of the bill, and is employed by the peo-
pic of the country, | shall find no diff.
Guilty in concurring in any additional
legislation limited To that object which
does not interfere with the Indispensable
exercise of the powers Of the government
under the constitution and laws.

The recent decisions of the Supreme
Court of this State have been anything
but encouraging to the advocates of the
fraudulent debt of South Caroniina.
Their champion mouthpiece has not had
q word about sustaining the decision
of the Court for about month, and ifthe
decision should not be favorable to the
holders ofthese pretended bonds we expect
10 witness some journalistic acrobatic
feats, which will be amusing. The Judge
OF the Supreme Court are giving the debt
problem serious consideration, and from
he decisions already made we believe
they clearly comprehend the Issues pre-
sented in the case, and that the forth
coming decision will be in conformity to
the law end justice of the important mat
ter committed to their charge.
