DISTURBING THE DEAD During the last several
days the vicinity of Delaney and Christie streets
has been the scene of great excitement, caused by
the removal Of the deceased bodies of persons in
tered in the churchyard, formerly belonging to the
Baptist church, under the ministerial charge of the
Rev. Mr.. Chase. One of the insurance companies
having obtained mortgage on the property, thev
have recently forecosed it, and consequently the
bodies were about to be removed to make way for
the erection of dwellings,. A large meeting was
held there on Tuesday, and decided resolutions
passed, Disappearing of this "unrghteous course"
On the same evening it was discovered that work.
men were engaged in excavating space about
twenty feet square in the centre of the large bury
ing ground in Christie street, between Forsyth and
Stanton, which belongs to the Rutger street new
Presbyterian church. Upon enquiry, it was ascer-
tanned that they were renewing the ground in order
to build vault and that the trustees Of the church
had ordered such proceeding without the consent
of the relatives of the deceased who were buried
within the space, or any notice having been given
them. Sixty or seventy bodies had been taken up,
and amsng them some that had not been inferred
but a few months Yesterday morning the mayor
was visited by large number OF persons, whose
relatives are deposited in the ground, and he imme.
diately repaired to the scene, and was received by
several thousand persons, who had assembled to
witness the proceedings The workmen were then
ordered to discontinue their operations, and the
crowd dispersed to meet at o'clock in the after
noon. At that hour about three thousand peo-
pie, men, women and children, were present. The
meeting was called to order by placing Job Haskell
Mr.. Benedict Taylor Of the Transcript, John NJ
Bloodgood, Samuel H. Lloyd, and hls honor the
Mayor, who concluded. The Mayor stated that
the trustees had represented that they had obtained
the bodies to another part of the ground, but
he had since ascertained, to his entire satsfac-
tirn, that such was not the case, and he
therefore ordered new workmen to be enga.
ged to re.deposte the earth from whence it was
taken. The foundation of the vault has been
laid, and the wall raised about five feet. The work.
men, under the direction Of Alderman Lee, imme-
diately commenced throwing the earth back, with
out removing the stOne.work at the bottom. We
saw q number OF persons on the ground who recog-
missed the collins Of their relatives, and one whose
wife had been buried within a few short months
Many Of the silver plates had been wrenched from
pieces Of collins were scattered about in every di
rection. The burying ground had become nearly
filled within few years; and 1t is stated that the
trustees having receryerected newchurch, resort
aid of its completion. We also perceived that a
space of about 200 feet square, in the south part
Of the yard had been covered with earth several |
inches deep and all tie grace stones taken up and
Of bodies over those already deposited in order to
raise funds. Such proceedings degraceful to
any body Of trustees. Who are they What are
their nsmes2 The meeting finally adjourned to
meet in the Park this afternoon at four O'Clock,
when we trust somebody will propose that the
bones removed shall rc-iatened in the ground, and
monument erected over them with an inscription in
CONNIE nora.i aug Of the event This church.yaId is
pie. We saw one coffin deposited within sixteen
inches Of the top of the ground, which is in direct
violation Of the law upon this subject.
On stepping into the ground at the corner Of
Chrystie and Delaney streets, we found woman
armed with pistol. guarding the grave Of her hus
band and children, and also perceived the monu
ment erected by the company c., of Washington
Guards. NJ Y. s., L. l., to the memory Of Captain

Will the members of that corps allow his bones to
be ruihlessly taken from the grave where they de-
posted them
We also understand that the bodies in the Second
Avenue Presbyte rian Church also to be removed

Let every one who is opposed to such sacrilegious
proceedings attend.
