them TO carry into effect the purposes of

Resolued, That the commissioners of the

a full and faithful discharge of their duties
as required by law, under the penalty of
being dismissed from office, and that the said
commissioners will in no instance allow to
said constables any compensation for dis

Reso7Ued, That this meeting hereby re-
quest the Senator and Delegates from this
county to use their influence in the next
General Assembly to restore so much OF the
retail license law, as it was before the year
1888, as will make it necessary that all APP
plications for retail license be made to the
Judges of the County Court, and that the
recognizance TO keep an orderly house be
entered with some increase of the price for
said license; and that the penal code be so
changed, so far as relates to penalties i'm
posed on free persons Of color, as will sub

laws expose free persons of color to the
punishment of confinement either Ill the
county Jail or the Penitentiary of the Slate.
RESOLVED, That this meeting, for them

prove of all noisy assemblages Of negroes
on the premises of their masters or else
where, whether the same be under the pre-
tence of prayer meetings or disorderly dam
ces; and this meeting respectfully suggest
discontinuanceo the same, and that it would
be more conducive to the happiness of all
that slaves should not be permitted to leave
their homes without the written permission
of their masters, mis.resses or owners, and
we earnestly appeal to our religious brelh-
rem of all denominations to discourage all
meetings that may not be under the obser-
walton of prudent and discreet white per-
sons, and thereby relieve the committees
and other police from rigid enforcement
of the laws relative to such meetings.
