VESTED IN THE wARDENs.

We now refer to the act of Dec. %, 1889, Mar
and Or ID. p. I44) passed by the General Assem-
bly, Of the State of Georgia after the revolution
TEts act incorporates certain persons named
therein, and their SUCCESSORS, as The Church
Wardens and Nestrymen OF the Episcopal
Church in Savannah called Christ Church., and
invests them with all manner of property both
real and personal, Entertainments, privileges
and inmunities which belonged to the said
church.
From the summary of the colonial legisla-
ton upon this subject and from the statement
Of the ecclesiastical law Of England, it is obvi-
GUS We think, that the old cemetery in Savan-
nah did not at any time belong to Christ
| Church. 1t was the public burial ground Of the
parish of that name Its possession and con
troll were in the rector of the parish and the
church wardens and vestrymen of the parish.
Hence under the very terms of the act of 1880,
it did not pass TO the wardens and vestry
of this church. But if this be not
true, if the cemetery belonged to the church as
an appurtenauce thereto, it was to the parish
church that it appeTt aimed. When the church
ceased to be the parish church, it lost it's exalp-
siVe right to the cemetery. as it did many of its
prerOgatives. If the title was in the rector it
was in him as rector of the parish. When he
ceased to be rector of the parish and became
the rector only of a single church in it, he yielded
his title to the cemetery as he did his right to
the exclusive cure of souls, and many other
privileges.

THE ORDINANCE OF 1889.

The compla.nants rely largely upon an ordi-
nance passed by the Board of Wardens of the
town of Savannah July %, 1889 Of which beard
Samuel Stirk, one of the vestrymen of Christ
church, was the President. This ordinance is
entitled IAN ordinance for enlarging the Gene
terry or public burial ground, and for laying off
a burial ground for negroes. 1t recites that
OF the parish of Christ church, in the
town of Savannah, containing 210 feet in
width and 3e0 feet liz length, is found too small
to answer the purposes intended. and il pro
vides for an addition of 100 feet to the eastward
and 30 feet to the southwark, making the whole
500 feet square, its present dimensions. Ii pro
vides, further, that this addition shall be and re
main public burial ground for the intermeIt
of all Christian people of whatever denomina
ton and shall not be considered as belonging
or appertaining solely to the episcopal Church
1t provides, further, for the appointment Of a
person to superintend the digging of graves,
with the consent of the vestry of Christ Church.

NO EVIDENCE OF OWNERSHIP.

There is no evidence before us to show that,
since the revolution, Christ church has claimed
any right TO the exclusive use or control of the
cemetery, but the city ordinances subsequent to
that great event furnish abundant and convinc-
ing evidence that the municipality. thence
afterward, has always maintained the undiS-
puted possession, management and control
thereof See ordinances of Oct. 81, 1903: Sept
3, 1910; June IS 1918; Aug % 1919; Oct, 1, 1921
on pages 3. r. "a, IS, 49, Records of Ordinances
from 1890 to 1923
Our conclusion is, that the cemetery in CUES
ton is a public burial ground, that the com
plainants have no right or title thereto, and that
this bill, which rests upon their assertion of
title, must be dismissed. 1t is SO ordered

not ALONE FOR EP1sooPALIANs.

With reference to this ordinance we remark
that the implication which might be derived
from one part of It, that the Old cemetery was
used solely by Episcopalians is negatived BY
the declaration contained in other parts thereof
aud in its title that the cemetery was the public
burial place of the parish. And that this dec
laTaton is true. counsel concede, and the facts
indisputably establish.
We observe further that this ordinance was
passed prior to the act incorporating the com
plainantS. and that it could not therefore have
vested any rights in them. But if the purpose
of the ordinance had been to impart to the
Episcopal church any title to or interest in the
cemetery which it had not formerly enjoyed the
ordinance was Intellectual and void. This GENE
terry was a part of the town common and could
be disposed of only by the authority of the Legis-
lature. See Shields case. 80 Ga.
If the ordinance has any significance it is
found in the fact that the association which
had so long existed between secular and ecclesi
astical authority was still preserved in the pub
lie mind. ana that the enforcement accomplished
by the revolution was hardly realized,

THE CONTROL OF THE CEMETERY.

The question of the control of the burial
ground does not appear to have been affected
by its location, whether adjoining or remote
from the church. Al the first erection OF
churches. no part of the adi acent ground was al
loted for the interment Of the dead, but some
place for this purpose was appointed at a farther
distance. Especially in cities and populous
towns, under the old Roman law of the Twelve
Tables, the place OF uhumation was without the
vail first indefinitely by the wayside, then in some
peculiar Enclosure assigned 10 that use. This
practice of remoter burials continued to the age
Of Gregory the Great who first allowed sepu-
ture in churches, or in places adjoining them,
giving as a reason. that when the parties de-
ceasing are not burthened with heavy sins, it
may then be a benefit to them To be buried in
churches, because tn if friends andrelatiOns, as
often as they come to these sacred places,
seeing their graves, may remember them and
pray to God for them"

THE FREEHOLD OF THE PARISH.
Under the English law the freehold of the
church building, and parsonage and glebe land
was in the rector of the parish. OF the burial
ground, this was true only in a qualified SENSE
It's control seems to have been vested equally
in the church wardens and minister. DR.. Harris

ID, 1879, declares Il alprehend the church

TO the minister and the church wardenS for

the minister, and the interior part to the parish

The following dispatch from Baltimore
to the Philadelphia Press gives more de-

CARROTS body than was published in the

The body Of T. Harrison Garrett, who
was drowned on Thursday night last by the
sinking of his yacht, the Clean, has been
recovered. 1t was found mile distant
from the spot where the accident occurred.
The steamer Nanticoke brought the re-
mains to Baltimore. The Nanticoke was
on her way up the river to this city when
the body was discovered. The pilot saw n
dark object floating in the water and
notified the captain. Order was given
to run close to it, and in few minutes
the boat was near enough for those
on board to see that the object was the body
of large man, and, as it was suspected,
that of T. Harrison Garrett. A small boat
was lowered, and the remains were placed on
| board. The body was in an unexpectedly
good condition. On the left temple there
was red mark, and one Of the hands was
somewhat bitten, probably by crabs or cells
with which the waters in the vicinity
abound. and which, IL was feared, would
greatly disfigure the body. The face was

up a short time before the arrival of the

in the water some distance off and, think
ing it might be Mr.. CARROTS body, called
the attention of the mate to it, the captain
not being on deck The man, however,
said it was only mattress and kept on his

renee shortly after, was very angry and
ordered the vessel to return to the spot, but

DER SIR: This is my seventh sleepless night
yours, too, doubtless-yet | think | shall not
struggle to live, however, bitterly. But to
business, You are not considered great man
and am hopelessly broken one. You are
now undergoing a terrible ordeal, and God has
thrown the graveSt responsibilities upon you.
Do not fear to meet them. Can the rebels be
beaten after all that has occurred, and in view
of the actual state of feeling caused by our
late awful disasterH If they can-and it is your
business to ascertain and decide-write me
that such is your judgement, so that l may
know and do my duty. And if they cannot be
beaten-if our recent disaster is fatal-do not
fear to sacrifice yourself to your country. If
the rebels are not to be beaten-if that is your
judgment in view of all the light you can get
then every drop of blood henceforth she'd in
this quarrel will be wantOnly, wickedly shed,
and the guilt will rest heavily on the soul of
every promoter Of the crime. | pray you to
decide quickly and let me know my duty.
If the union is rrevocably gone an armistice
ought at once to be proposed, with view to a
peaceful adjustment. The congress shall call a
national convention, to meet at the earliest pos
sbe day. And there should be an immediate
and mutual exchange or release of prisoners
and disbandment of forces. 1 do not consider
myself at present judge of anything but the
public sentiment That seems to me everywhere
gathering and deepening against a prosecution
of the war.
The gloom in this city is funereal-for our
dead at Bull Run were many, and they lie un-
buried yet. On every brow sits sullen, scorch-
ing, black despair. It would be easy to have
Mr. Crittenden move any proposition that
ought to be adopted, to have it come from
any proper quarter. The first point is to ascer-
tain what is best that can be done-which is the
measure of our duty, and do that very thing at
the earliest moment.
This letter Is written in the strictest conf
dence, and is for your eye alone. But you are
at liberty to say to members of your cabinet
that you know will second any move you may
see fit to make. But do nothing timdly nor by
halves. Send me word what to do. / will live
till can hear il at all events If it is best for
the country and for mankind that we make
peace with the rebels at ONCE and on their own
terms, do not shrink even from that. But bear
in mind the greatest truth Whose would lose
his life for my sake shall save it," DO the
thing that is the highest ri yht, and tell me how
