Strana 1228 - All the civil and religious rights of our citizens depend upon state legislation; the education of the people is in the care of the states ; with them rests the regulation of the suffrage ; they prescribe the rules of marriage, the legal relations of husband and wife, of parent and child ; they determine the powers of masters over servants and the whole law of principal and agent, which is so vital a matter in all business transactions ; they regulate partnership, debt and credit...

Strana 1181 - The buildings consumed, if placed on lots of 65 feet frontage, would line both sides of a street extending from New York to Chicago. A person journeying along this street of desolation would pass in every thousand feet a ruin from which an injured person was taken.
