NOTICE.
TO FORMER OWNERS OF SLAVES
IN CHARLES COUNTY. .ta#

THE undersigned, appointed a "Commis-
i soner Of Slave Statistics" by the Cover
nor of Maryland, by authority OF an act OF the
General Assembly, '.entitIed An Act to provide
Tor taking and perpetuating the evidence Of the
number Of persons held to labor and service in
the State of Maryland and emsncjpated by the
Constitution adopted in the year 1854, and by
whom such persons were heidi
Hereby gives notice, that he will attend at
his Office, in PORT TOBACCO, from day TO
day, for the purpose of discharging bis duties as
said Commissioner.
The Act Of Assembly designs to place, in the
safe keeping of the State, correct evidence ofthe
number of slaves held by her citizens, at the
time, when, under the influence of the pledge
of compensation from the United States, such
slaves were cmancipated. II is obvious that those
only will be compensated who furnish the State
with such evidence. The object Of the Law and
the necessity of its passage may be better UNDER
stood by reading the Law itself. The preamble
says: saZ a+.-5-
'sThat the State of Maryland has a good,
valid and just claim upon the Government Of the
United States for reasonable and adequate COM
pensation for the said property, and that it ought
not to be doubted that the Federal Government,
when the passions excited by the late unhappy
civil Wal shall have subsidized, will recognize the
justice of the said claims and faithfully perfoI In
her manifest duty in regard to it." '.
The law requires the following:
ne names OF the lOfner owners, Az the tlLne
of the adoption of the Constitution in the year
1864. .s -
s.The names, number, age, sex and physical
condition of such slaves; whether they were
slaves for life or for term of years, and how
many years; whether they have been enlisted or
drafted into the United States, far as is known
to said owners others; and into what regi-
mcnts they were placed, and what compensa-
ton, if any, has been received from the State or
General Government by such owner or owners
for such slaves SO enlisted or drafted into the
military service of the United States.',s
The testimony required is the sworn state-
ment of the for mer owner or legal representa-.
tive, confirmed by the s.oath Of at least two dis
interested Witnesses" The record thus made
up is declared to be legal evidence upon all ques-
tons concerning the ownership of slaves 10 this
State at the time of the adoption Of the Constit-
ution by which said slaves were emancipated.'r
