Communication from City Sections.

To THE EBIToRs OF THE CLARION:
GENTLEMEN: In your issue OF yesterday APP
pears a reflection upon the City Sections, where
in those officers are charged with neglect Of
duty, which IN Your own words, almost amounts
to deSecrstion,n etc, etc. We doubt not had
you been acquainted with the facts you would
not willingly have done US the injustice, which
the item referred to charges upon We re
cogniza the force and truth Of your structures
had your Information been correct But you
labor under mishapprehension OF the facts,
which We now respectfully request TO place be-
fore the public. His Honor, the Mayor, upon
our representations instructed 10 burn the
sedge-grass in the City Cemetery at the same
time particularly enjoined us TO avoid injurIng
the fences, trees, grave enclosures, etc. 1t was
our desire TO make the cemetery such place as
the authorities and citizens wish the resting
place OF the dead To be, a creditable, though
solemn ornament, To the city And We agreed
To commence burning the grass on the west side,
the colored Sections charge, one day, and on
the next day, the east side, the white Sex
toms charge, and 50 on alternately until the
whole work was completed. In this way We
could control the fire and complete the work
without injury 10 the fences, trees, etc W lille
we were burning the east side south OF the
creek crossing the cemetery, some mischievous
boys set fire to the grass 10 the north OF US dis
covering which fastened to subdUe it, but
complained OF was done. We desire to place
before the public the fact that the damage was
not occasioned by neglect or carelessness.
We confidently believe, upon this statement
OF the facts, that you will do us the justice TO
place our vindication before the public.
Very respectfully,
Sexton for the White people.

Sexton for the Colored people.
