I beg leave to read the law of Georgia, sent to me by Mr. Ste hens. I did not know of its existence until this morning. I regard it as an indication that if we put up the right standard there is a chance to get men North and South to walk up to it. This is the law of Georgia: [No. 90.] An act to define the term “persons of color, " and to declarethe rights of such persons. Size. 1. Abife: That all negroes, mulattos, mestizoes and their deseendants having 1/8th negro or Alrican blood in their veins, shall be known in this State as “ persons of color." Sec. 2; Abife: That persons of color shall have the right to make and enforce contracts. to sue. be sued.to be parties and give evidence.to inherit. to purchase and to have full and equal benefitof all laws and proceedings for the security of person and estutv and shall not be subjectedto any other or dillterent punishment. pain or penalty. for the commismn of any act or offense, than such as are prescribed for white personse ommitting like acts or offenses. The 3rd section repeals all conflicting laws.
