In o letter written from this city by
DIR. w. Z. Boggs, regarding certain coli
ored persons who make covert and ether
charges against VI present officials, that
gentleman says;
We deal out the same measure to all
alike. ~
The allegation that we have only al
lowed colored men TO act under stress of
necessity, and not from good will, is ut
terly untrue. The regular police force of
the city, white and colored men alike,
hold their appointment, of course, from
the IRE and police commissioners, repre-
scented in the committee of safety by DIR.
Porter, u chairman But the detail for
daylight service was made from the col
ored military companies, by the advice of
the committee, as a mark of our good
will, though numbers of good white men
who'have had the fever begged to be APP
pointed, having been thrown out Of work
by the public calamity.
Captains Brown and Glass received their
appointments as members of the commit
tee Of safety just as the rest of us did, and
as a mark of good will toward their race.
The hundred "minute-men" under Capt.
Semmes have been organized to cooperate
with the colored militia in preserving or
der, should any necessity arise. And,
surely, while we show all confidence to-
ward the colored militia in thus employ
ing them, it is our right and duty to help
them in case of need.
DR.. Porter especially desires me to say
to you that Fromsn, the agent, now visit
ing the North in the interests of the dis
contented colored men, came to the doc
tors office a few days before he left home,
and, of his own accord, expressed cordial
approval Of the course marked out by the
committee Of safety, adding that he was
fully aware that Messrs. Shaw, Lott, and
other colored men were holding back be-
cause they wished to compel DR.. 2. to give
them lucrative offices in order to secure
their influence with the colored people.
