PUBLIC SAFETY.
At full meeting of the committee of
safety held this afternoon the following pub
lie declaration was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The committee of safety and Off
cial representatives of the taxpayers interest
have been informed through the public prints
of resolution of number of citizens, chiefly
if not altogether of the colored race to reject
our plan for the common welfare, and their
purpose to appeal to property owners of the
city and to the public at large to sustain them
in this course; therefore, be it
ReSolxed. That We fully concede these people
the inalienable right of thinking and of acting
under the law Of the land for their own good.
Second-Tkat at the same time this COM
mittee Is constrained to testify that in our
plans we are sincerely seeking the go,d of all
our people present and absent, colored and
white.
Third-That in forming camps we are acting
under the advice and with the appreciation Of
the official representatives of Tennessee and of
the United States, and that we have the approval
of State and National boards of health in seek
ing to check the progress Of the fever by with
drawing the population from infected locali-
ties.
Fourth-That only by means of camps is it
possible for us to guard against the great evil
OF idle people entering the city to draw ratlons.
Our men are too few to guard so wide an area
as that covered by the town, and when people
thus come into the infected locality they will
carry the seeds of disease with them all over
the land.
Fifth-That in forming as in carrying into
effect these plans we make ITO unjust discrim-
nations against colored men. OF our regular
police, now put on night duty, one-third are
teer companies for daylight service are coored
men. All the militia as yet placed by the Gov
ernor under the command Of Col. Cameron are
oolored men, and the same supplies are dealt
out by our committee on charity to the sick in
colored families as in white families, the book
Of ftan hoIr
fact. Two representative colored men, Capts.
Glass and Brown, have seats in this committee.
Sixth-In submitting such facts to the judy
ment OF absent property owners and to the
general public for their guidance, we further
testify that in making their choice between
our policy and that Of the malcontents they
must assume grave responsibility in keeping
human life exposed for long months to great
peril, they must count upon wasting a sgreat
proportion of their charity idlers who
sneak into town from adjacent points, and
they must not be surprised if numbers of those
now engaged in relieving want and suffering
shall in despair abandon their arduous work
and leave misguided people to their fate.
Seventh In thus expressing our minds, under
sense of duty to the city and to the public,
the committee would not wish to utter one
harsh or angry word against people misled,
as we believe, by ambitious and uniformed
leaders who seem to prefer their own imagined
exaltation or profit to the best interests of
their followers.
The following resolution, offered by Capt.
Jas. Glass, colorea, was adopted
Resolved, That the colored people be in
formed, through the papers, that whenever
they choose to form camps under regulations
calities, they will be supplied by Col. CAIN
eron's requisition just as they are at Camp
Marks, provided they be within reach of the
commissary department. of Camp Marks.
Chief of Police Athey's daughter remains
in a critical condition.

On the voyage out from New York, while in

in port, from that disease. The first day
after leaving Rio the fever reappeared. The
wife of Capt. Armstrong, Harry Cave and
Michael Weller, seamen, died, and Capt.
Armstrong, his daughter, the ships carpen-
ter and seven sailors were taken down. The

charge of the vessel, destroyed the bedding

Failures in Montreal.
MONTREAL, Aug. Fish, Sheppard &
Co.. dry goods dealers, have failed; liabilities
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
large amount of which is due the defunct
consolidated bank. There is great excite
nent consequent on the failure of the CON
solidated bank, the local shareholders ex-
pressing themselves very freely about the
gross acknowledgement in this city. 1t is
rumored that application is about to sbe
made for warrants for the arrest of Sir
Thomas Hencks and the ex-manager, j. B.
Kenny.
