THE RIGHTS OF COLoRED MEN,
WASHINGTON, Oct. lin Alexandria, Va.
recently, a fowling piece was taken by Justice
OF the peace from colored man on the ground
that the laws of Virginia rendered such DOS
session by a negro illegal. Provost Judge
Hambrick addressed letter to the Mayor of
Alexandria, saying in all cases and similar
cases which may arise hereafter, the colored
people will be protected by me in any infringe
ment upon any right guaranteed to white citi-
zens. Hereafter, no coored man will be ar.
rested when found with fowling piece in his
possession; nor will he be liable to arrest. as |
understand he is now, if found in the street
after the hour of 10 o'clock F. NJ. | will
further state that this plan will De strictly ad-
hered to. The colored man must be respected
so far as the right of property and freedom of
person is concerned, precisely on the same
footing with white citizens-no more, no less.
The Major General commanding the Depart
ment Of Washington has directed that the gun
be restored, and that the civil authorities be
notified of the action Of the Provost Judge in
all similar cases.
