COMMUNICATED.
Christ Church, savannah.


There Ia a rumor a1oat that Christ Church
is to be sold, the site abandoned and new
building erected in some more fashionable
part of the city.
1t cannot be true that such an atrocity
could possibly be allowed by its members.
1t was the first spot consecrated to the
worship of God on the soil OF Georgis-the
germ OF the Episcopal diocese-and for one
hundred and thirty eight years has been the
dwelling place of the Most High. Evil men
may have ministered at its affairs, but they
could not dishonor the old temple any more
than satan could dishonor God.
IL there is need of a new church, why
build one of course. Those who are so
anxious to forsake the old temple will no
doubt be equally as jealous to supply the
necessary means to erect the new.
Let the old building stand-the money
has been contributed for its repairs, and
that too By an appeal TO the memories Of The past.
Some holy servant of God will always be
found willing, aye proud, to minister at her
ancient and holy altar, and her good works
will be continued through the ages yet to
come.
Let God have his OWL, and do not attempt
to sell the spot over which the Holy Spirit
has brooded so long. We believe there
would be protest throughout the entire
diocese against such an action.
Let the cold church" stand honored and
| beloved! You can ne"er rebuild her sacred
memories, reaching back into the distant
treasure house of the past, and every true
heart rebels against her walls being desc
Grated to the base uses OF the world. Never
let it be said that the descendants OF her
| founders allowed the ancient "Mother
| Church of Georgia" to be sacrificed to the
modern spirit OF speculation, fashion or
utility. SAVANNAH.
NoTE.-We have heard of the rumor re-
| ferred to by our correspondent, but careful
/ inquiry fails to discover any Just grounds
| for it. There was, it seems, an intimation
that wealthy lady contemplated giving
new site for the church, and that 100000
would be contributed to the building of
more modern edifce, provided the pres
ent church property was di posed OF,
but no definite proposition was made
or action taken by the church
authorities In fact, there seems
to be little apprehension that any such
| change will take place. 1t is understood
that the church will be closed in July, and
that thorough repairs and improvements will
be made both ia the interior and exterior.
| From all that we can ascertain we think the
| fears of Savannah are grouudless, and
that it will be many, many years before the
sold church" is sold or abandoned, and
that it will continue to ''stand .honored and
beloved"

A cowARDLY CRIME.
Ten Respectable Citizens Charged
with a Serious O6ense.

Yesterday morning a Deputy United
States Marshal arrived in the city by the
train on the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway, having in custody ten respectable
citizens of Montgomery county, who are
charged with very serious crime. It APP
pears that on the night Of the ID Of May
last a party of disguised men visited
the house of a colored man by the name Of
Jerry Hamilton, who in some manner had
rendered himself obnoxious, and taking
him therefrom carried him some distance
and beat him so badly that he died from
the effects of the injuries then received.
This outrage occurred near Mount Vernon
the county site of Montgomery, and on the
following day, when the news OF the
outrage was circulated, large mass meet
ing of the citizens was called, at which
resolutions were passed condemnlng IN the
strongest terms the cowardly crime, ana
pledging the assistance of the authorities to
ferret out the perpetrators.
In the meanwhile, information was re-
ceived in Savannah, and United states Com
missioner Wade issued warrant against
a number = of respectable citizens,
charging them with violation
of the civil rights bill In connection with
this crime, and Deputy Marshal was in
OF the gentlemen who have thus been ar
rested, and who, we are Informed, are
among the most prominent and worthy citi-
zens of Montgomery, the very last men to
eountenance such an outrage, are Messrs.
Joseph Palmer, William Adams,
Thomas Norris, Angus Norris. Algernon
Brady, r. Brady, II. Brady, w. barley and
James Buckan. There appears to be no
evidence against these parties, aud they
were arrested merely on suspicion. The
offeuse with which they are charged does
not, we understand, come under the civil
rights bill.
They were arraigned yesterday morn
ing before the Commissioner, who
issued the warrant, but, the witnesses
for the prosecution not being present,
they would have been committed to jail
but for the interposition of their attorneys,
Messrs. Garrard & MeleriE, who rendered
ample bond for their appearance. Mr.. 7.
w. Carswell, of Mount Vernon, is also asso
ciated with Messrs. Garrard q Meldrim for
the defense. An examination 10 the case

An Escaped Convict from Macon
Captured.

Lewis Brown, eOlored, who was convicted
In Bibb County Court of burglary several
terms since, and who was sentenced to
the penitentiary for a term OF years,
was sent to the convict camp on Hutchin-
sons Island, opposite the city, to work.
Some time the latter part Of 1879 Lewis
made his escape from the convict camp and
has since, until Monday last, managed to
keep his liberty. 1t was understood, how
ever, he was about Savannah, having left a
place near Hardeeville, on the line of the
Charleston and Savannah Railway, where
he secured employment shortly after
his escape. On Monday Magistrate
Dooner received information that Lewis
was meandering around In the southwest
ern section of the city. Constables White
and Simmons were deputiZed to hunt him
up, and, after s search, found him IN house
on Cooper Shop lane. He was committed
to Jail to await an investigation.

a viraro an The Rampage.

Eliza Green, 8 high-tempered colored fe-
male, who is rather skeptical in regard to
the assertion that cleanliness is next to
Goodness" and who has thorough con-
tempt for the sanitary ordinances of the
city, has been rather Indifferent in regard
to the condition of the premises which she
occupied. Yesterday morning, when an In
spection was made by f. Grimken and
her premises found to be in a very filthy
condition, she was ordered to have clean
ing up forthwith This command aroused
the excitable Eliza and she gave her tongue
full rein, and also assaulted and attempted
to mutilate the physiognomy of the inspect
Ing officer. She was thereupon arrested
and this morning will be arraigned before
the Mayor, when it is likely that she will be
taught lesson that will do her good.

Military The Fourth of July Pa
rade.

A meeting of the board Of officers Of the
First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia was
held last evening at the armory of the Re-
publican Blues. The subject of the usual
parade Of the regiment on the fourth of
July was considered, and an expression Of
the opinion of the meeting taken. 1t was
decided to order the parade for half
past six o'clock in the morning,
the companies to assemble at their respec-
tive armOries at O'Clock, and the line to be
formed on South Broad street at half-past
O'Clock promptly. A short parade will be
made through the principal streets, and the
command will proceed to Madison square,
the site of the Jasper Monument, and fire a
salute in honor of the day. The
regiment will be marched back
to South Broad street and dis
missed. 1t is expected that the entire
parade will be over by s o'clock, and the
heat of the day will thus be avoided and
ample time given the members to make their
arrangements for spending the "galoriOus
Fourth" as their inclination may prompt. 1t
is hoped that there will be good turn out,
as the hour for the parade is the most ap-
propriate and convenient that could be Sc

THE CONVICT CAMP INVKSTI-
eating COMMITTEE.
A Commission for the COnVicts to
be Recommended.

For three weeks Legislative Committee,
composed of T. w. Miner, Chairman,
Messrs. Zellner, Willingham, Fort, Perkins,
Coffin and Wilson have been investigating
the convict camps OF Georgia. As men
toned in the MORNING News the committee
were In Savannah a short time since on this
mission. This committee, composed of
three doctors, two lawyers, preacher, and
a colOred member Wilson, OF Camden
was intrusted with the investigation be-
tween sessions and ordered to report fully.
The committee have been three weeks en-
route, have visited every camp, talked with
over 600 prisoners, and examined every feat
ure of the great question intrusted to them.
They have given no public expression to
their opinions, but 1t is understood, and SO
reported, that they are not satisfied with
the system as 1t is at present, and without
having special complaints to bring against
any lessee, feel that justice cannot be done,
and the dictates of humanity followed IN
der the system as it is. The committee will
therefore unanimously report in favor of q
penitentiary commission, to be composed OF
a lawyer, business man and physician,
to be paid liberal salaries and selected from
the very best men In the State. The committee
will insist mainly that this commission is es-
sential, and many OF the committee, proba-
bly, majority, will advocate the appoint
ment of a warden for each camp. This is
the most thorough investigation OF the
camps ever made, and will probably result
in definite action.

Domestic Rumpus.

The neighborhood OF Indian street lane,
near West Broad, was last night, about
twenty minutes past ten O'Clock, enlivened
by q domestic revolution in a palatial man
sion in that thoroughfare. Josh Williams,
a eolored warrior who occupies the house,
returning home and finding things not
exactly suited TO his fancy, proceeded to
get satisfaction by walloping bis wife, Sarah
Williams, in the most approved and vigorous
style known to the cOlOred fraternity. The
shrieks Of Sarah aroused the denizens and
they foeked to the scene to enjoy the fracas.
Policeman Wiukers ssuntered up about this
time and,elosed the fun by arresting Joseph
and marching him of 10 the barracks.
