kitchen Of gentleman on Main Strtet-where

in the eyes VI the law. the Mayor. under TIE cir-
cumsiances, discharged them by making their
owners pay the cyst Ut arrest. IL is really amat-
ter Of sstqaishnellt, that slave-owners will give
their servants passes in cases 1T this sort, wheU
thew must be aware Of the Imperative nature of
the law on that subject. Section 81, chapter l08.
Of the Code f Virginia. expressly declares that
"eyery assenblage Of negroes for the purpose ct

ed ~ negro. anil every assemblage of negroes

his slave written permit to attend these assem-
jJaoaa it Would seem 10 he very hard to punish
the negro Cor his action in the matter. when it is
evident that he relies Gu the pass OF his owner
for his protection. In Petersburg and other Vir-
on;a c;,ias ordinances have been enacted giving
The MAYOR of those places the power to impose
fines on ali shareholders who may give their sor-
rants IMPROPER passes. The present instance is
case in point and would have been fully met by
an ordinance of the character above noted. We
hope our Council will look into the matter and

ed on the charges Of drunkenness aud disturbing
