Mr Shor ter would like to see some HO.OOO expend ed upon a monument to Oglethorpe, and those generally who are Interested In the movement feel that the memor.al to the colony's founder should be handsome.

The City Council, at a meeting yester day afternoon, held after a meeting *f the Committee Of the Whole, adopted n leaolutton cal.mg upon the Senator from the First District and the representatives in the General Assembly from Chatham county, to oppose the misdemeanor con vict bill in Us present form. The resolution reclies the manner lr. which the mvicta ate worked in Chrt l am county. the purposes for which they are u*cd, and the conditions under which they sre kept and lay* stress upon the fart that the progress of the public im provements of tha county would be se riously Interfere I with should the eon tr I of the convicts he taken out of the hand* of the County Commies loners. The resolution wns first considered n the Committee of the Whole, and was sub mit ted from that body by a unanimous report Mayor Myers expressed himself as strongly opposed to any change in th* ronv.ot system of <*haiham county when the proposition to place all misdemeanor convict* under the control of tho StsU Pr.son Commission waa first unnGunced. and the members of Council evidently agreed with him n hi* views Tha resolution reads a* follows •'Whetvaa. there ft* now pending In the General Assembly of lids stale a bill de signed to take away from the M*veral county authorities the control of misde meanor convict*; “And wher* .is, the reason* advanced for the pasa.igH of such a bill, to-wlt, to insure the humane treatment, proper clothing feeding and housing of and medical attention to auch convicts, and to prevent the evil* Incident to hiring such persona to private parties, do not apply to the mid* mimr conviots of Chatham county, who are never hired to private parties and are afforded all the comforts and attention oonl**ent with their situ ation ; “And whereas the road and drainage system of Chatham county, so important to Its prosperity ond health, and to the prosperity and health of this city, are bu;h nnd maintained by the labor of the mWrtenieanor convict* of said county, thua in Sime measure remburning the county and city and the taxpayers there of for the henW expen*** incident to the trial and conviction of such convicts. “And where**. In the Judgment of this body, any change in the power and au thority of the County Commissioners of Chatham county, with regard to misde meanor conviots. would be dtaafltroua to said road ami drainage systems, and would not improve the condition of such convicts; ■'Therefore, be It resolved by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Bavannah. In Council assembled. That the Benalor from the First District and the Repre sentative* from Chatham county, be and they are hereby requested to oppose any measure on the line of the bill referred to that will have Ihe effet of taking from the authorities of Chatliam county any of the power and control now exer rlsed by them over misdemeanor convicts of saud county.

The protest already formu lated In Ihe special presentment of the grand Jury of the Superior Court will be supplemented by memorial* from the board of County Commissioners, th* Sa vannah Board of Trad* and the Savannah Cotion Exchange, as well as by the city. Since the action taken by the grand Jury last Thursday. It would seem nothing has been done lit Savannah to prevent the passage of this bill, so obnoxious to every one who has at heart the true Interests of the city? It Is believed, however, that an effort will be m.vle to have the bill referred to the commercial bodies Inter ested In the success of the port, and that these bodies will pass such strong con demnatory resolution* a* will serve en tirely to destroy the chances of the bill being enacted Into law. Indeed. It I* further understood that neither the Governor nor Representative Toomer of YVaycross, nor any other of ihe advocates of the bill have ever In tended to make Its provisions apply to Chatham or other counties of like magni tude All of ehese seem to be welt awnre that the passage of such a bill would be eompletely destructive of the best Inter ests of the counties that have managed their convict* to the satisfaction of Ihe public In the past, and they mean to make Its provisions applicable only to those counties In which there have been abuses that have revolted the sense of Justice and fairness of the people of the state Bo far a# Chothain county I* concerned, It Is content to submit It* record In Ihe matter of controlling and working misde meanor ronvlct* to the Inspection of the entire slate. On n number of occa sions the member* of the Pris on Commission have said that the methods in rogue in this rounty were admirable, and that the w-vrk performed wa* entirely satisfactory. So much cannot he said of the camps controlled entirely by the com mission. concerning which there have been numerous scandals tn the past few years From what can be learned of the ex letlng condition of affalra there Is no reason for alarm on the |rt of the the County Commissioner* and the peo ple of the county The law, as in troduced may Is- general, but It I* not thought that there will be any dlfllniltv In having Chatham and other eountlee. In which the conditions are similar or identical, exempted from It* provisions. Everybody In the county Is against the provision* of the law as applied to Chat ham They cannot see that It will work any advantage and they can see that It will do grent Injury to the people of this se-Alon. Bttuated as this county ta. drainage and road work la absolutely es sential and to carry tt to completion the employment of the convict* I* sb-olutrly necessary.
