EmEerfeesIOns OF Cur Municipal Law
Relating 10 THem-A Subject for the
City CouHcII.
Apsopos OF. the discharge Of Funston. It
may be of use to copy our brief municipal
law on the subject Of licensed detectives.
which 20 the legal mind IS a very funny
ordinance:
Section l. That The Mayor be hereby au-
thOriZsd to license, for six or twelve months,
private detectives, who shall each give
bond in the sum Of one thousand dollars,
to secure The faithful and honest perform.
auce Of the services they may undertake in
the line Of their profession. Such license
shall be issued free Of charge, except the
usual official fees, and shall be revocable at
the discretion Of the Mayor, upon grounds
of incOmpetency, neglect Of duty, immoral
or scandaloUs conduct, or misconduct in
Office.
>. Such officers shall have power to make
arrests IN cases OF suspicion Of felony; and,
IN case OF removal, an appeal may be taken
to the City Council, which may consider or
refuse to entertain thaappsal at its discre-
ton.
). The officers herein provided for shall
receive no pay from the city.
Approved Nov. ., 1866.
The puzzle is, why a detective is required
to give bond aud no provision made re-
curing its forfeiture in any case, and how
the city can authorize such officer to make
arrests on suspicion.
But our object is 10 call attention TO the
fact not usual in other cities, that our de-
tective system is wholly unconnected with
the police department and the detectives
wholly Irresponsible to the chief Of police.
To strangers unfamiliar with this fact.
misconduct on the part Of detectives
licensed by the city may imply faint up
on our police force, than which no Ameli-
can city has a better.

cent infamous enactment Of Congress on
the subject. By it postage on newspapers
and other printed matter sent by private
parties has been doubled, j. e, where Ii
was a cent per two ounces before, it is now
a cent per ounce. Therefore, the DAILY
UNION AND AMERICAN, weighing a little
over an ounce per copy, requires two cents
postage, and the WEEKLY UNION AID
AMERICAN, weighing about two and one
half ounces, requires three cents.

nOuneed by Their COIOred Breth
rem.
We find in the Chattanooga Times Of
Yesterday the following preamble and reso-
lutious, adopted at q meeting Of the cOlored
men Of that city:
PREAMBLE.
Where's. Providence has placed US, the
C5loTel people upon The basis OF citizenship
and whatever else that may be implied in
the recent passed er2ctments, known as the
Civil Rights Bill. We, as our names are
seen below, 90 not intend to try TO enjoy
any Of its privileges without using reason.
We hope that this article will have its de-
sired impression upon the community at
large. We earnestly hope that the public
viii not class Us IS tue COiOTed people, with
that class Of cOlcred people who would
seek to have the stigma Of the public upon
Us, now, nor Wh2t may result in the future;
as that which 50 recently came under our
notice. We do not intend 20 make our
way By inf ingiug. We earnestly hope that
this will be the motto Of our own people,
here and elsewhere. Oh, that We would
learn what our duty is On this subject.
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas. we learn that within few
DAYS a small number Of misguided colured
men, who resided in this city have been
refused admission as guests in the Read
House and Commercial Hotel, and are
seeking as iEforEers to recover the penalty
prescribed under the civil rights bill passed
by the last Congress; and
Whereas, said persons were not travellers
and had no actual necessity for such &C
CUmmOiatiOn; and
Whereas, such conduct can and viii be
construed by the public, both white and
Col0red, as a thOughtless, foolish and un-
necessary effort 20 create a disturbance, o.
a contemplate effort TO ''blackmail" the
PrUprietOrs Of said Read House aud Com
mercial Hotel; therefore
Resolved, that we, at a public meeting
Of the Co'CTed people Of Chattanooga, here
by dIsclaim and disiyOF any sympathy
with the late attempt of a small number Of
the c5lorCi people Of this city to obtain ac-
cOmm0ca,I0u in the manner they seek to
obtain from tie Read House and CONNER
cial Hotel.
Resolved, that we regret the occurrence,
and believe it is calculated to create i'll
feeling between the white and cOl0red TeO-
pie Of this city, and can be Of no benefit
whatever to either.
ResOiTed, that any person, white or col
Ored, who viii seek to obtain the penalty
under the Civil Rights bill as a mere mat
ter Of money, is too degraded TO De called
a man.
Resolved, that any person, white or col
cred, who viii seek to collect these penal
lies without Just cause or necessity. will
create additional ill-feeling between the
Two races, and IS an enemy to both.
Resolved, that the above preamble
and resolutions be published in the city
papers.
