BALTIMORE, Friday, Oct. 10, 1866.
A summons from Swami was served on
the Board of Police by the Secretary of State
at a late hour on Thursday night ordering
them to appear before him at Annapolis on
Monday next to answer charges against
them. What their response will be is un.
known. They were in consultation with
their counsel to-day, but decline making pub
lie their determination. One of the counsel
has visited Annapolis for the purpose of ex-
amining the charges against them. The
feeling of a majority of the Unionists is
against the Commissioners paying any atten-
ton to Swann's order They advise them
to stay quietly in their Office, discharge their
duties, to act altogether on the defensive,
and, if Swami attempts violence, to meet
force with force. Several ex-military officers
called to-day on Mayor Chapman and the
Police Commissioners and rendered their SER
vices Tonight large meeting of veterans
representing the Boys in Blue" was held,
and presided over by Brig. Gen. Noodley,
who advised them to stand shoulder in this
contest, as they had done liz the field. Col
Forthz said that the meeting was called by
the permission of the Commander off, the
Boys in Blue" MajorGen Dennison, for the
purpose of taking measures to support the
regularly constituted authorities of the city,
and of thwarting Swann's effort to place the
Rebels in power. Committees were appoint
ed to canvass the City tomorrow, and OBJ
tain the names of all who will support the
Commissioners in any emergency, and to re-
port to the " Boys in Blue at once The
following address was unanimously agreed
upon:
BOYS IN BLUE.
ATTENTION The events now transporting
in this city make it incumbent upon us once
sist the attempts of traitors in our midst to
deprive loyal men of this city of the control
of its affairs and leave us to the tender mer-
cies of our deadIiest enemies. You will at
once report yourselves to your officers for as
signment for duty. and hold yourselves ready
at moments notice to defend our charter
ed rights, now being menaced and endan-
gered by the same despieable traitors, whose
ready sympathy was always and ever for
Rebels in arms, and whose curses always fol
lowed us on every bloody field of the Mary
land line. We have fought and conquered
the Rebels, who had the manliness to face us
in the field. We have now to regulate those
heroes who for the last four years have stood
with yard-stiek and crockery ware in hand.
ready to furnish their dear friends of the
South with their valuable sympathy. The
loyal Police Board of Baltimore must be sus-
tanned at all hazards and at every cost Be
ready. Be prompt Each Ward will report
its strength and organization on Saturday
might at s O'Clock, at the headquarters of the
Unconstitutional Union Central Committee
By order of the General commanding.

Meetings were held in several other places,
and any attempt of the Governor to interfere
in the local affairs of Baltimore was denoun-
-ced as an attack upon the liberties of the
people. There were also meetings held of
the Union League. Reverdy johnson is
among the counsel engaged by the Demo-
Gratis.
The Washington. correspondent of the N
Y. Times says:
1.-THE contest over the Baltimore Police
Commissioners is exciting much interest
here, in view of the possibility that the Pres
ident may be called on by the Governor to
interfere. Gov. Swami will probably re-
move the Commissioners, as he sympathizes
strongly with the element seeking their re-
moval. He is, nevertheless, cautious and
moving man, and does not wish to jeo-
pardize his chances for the United States
Senate. The Commissioners will resist the
Governors action on the ground that they
cannot be removed except by. regular trial
and conviction, and they will undoubtedly
assert their position by the force under their
control. The offence of the Commissioners
seems to be that they appoint Judges of the
election who enforce the Registry Law so
stringently that returned rebels and Southern
sympathizers cannot register themselves
without committing perjury"
