There is rather ludicrous contest
at every session of the legislature
over the bastardy act. The law at
present incapacitates a colored wos
man from testifying to the paternity
of a bastard child born to her, so that
the father cannot be required to give
bond for its support. At every ses-
sion bills are introduced to strike the
word "White" out of the act, but the
Democratic majority guards that re-
striction as if it were the palladium
of their liberties. There can hardly
be any question that the color line
drawn by the law is contrary to the
supreme and paramount law of the
land-the Constitution of the United
States, which provides that no State
'shall deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of
the laws" Yesterday the Judiciary
Committees of the Houses of the
General Assembly both made un.
favorable reports upon bills striking
the word "white" out of the basar-
dy act, and it is apparent that the
Democratic members propose to re-
tain for themselves and their constit-
uents all the privileges and eXemp-
tions that they now enjoy.-Bdlto.
