We call attention to the fact that there will be a grand special and very attractive excursion to Nassau and Havana, by the Savannah, Nassau and Havana Mail Steam ship Line,. The popular side-wheel steam ship Sau Jachito will leave her wharf on Tuesday, March 26th, at 3 p. in., reach St. Augustine the 27th a. m., arrive at Nassau on March 29th a. m. Leave Nassau p. m. 29th, arrive at Havana March 31st a. m. Returning will arrive in Savannah on April 5 a. in. The price of return tickets has been put at sixty dollars to Nassau, seventy dollars to Havana, and include state room, berths and meals on the steamer and first class board at hotels in Nassau and Havana, also carriage drives while in Nassau and Havana. The programme offers two excursions—one to Nassau, only remaining five days, including board at the Royal Victoria Hotel,and three different excursions in carriages to different parts of the island; the other excursion to Havana remaining one day, with similar privileges. This is certain fy a most excellent arrangement, and no pleasanter ^‘asou for making an excur sion could be desired. We refer to the ad- \ertiseinent, and would slate that those wishing further information can obtain the same from the agents, Messrs. Hunter & Gammell. Fire oil the Central Railroad—Cotton Burned. On Monday evening as a freight train, comprising a number of flat Gars loaded with cotton, was passing No. 7)^, about live miles below Milien, it was discovered that several of the cars were on fire. The train was at once stopped and the cars detached. The tire had, however, gotten a good start and the cotton burned so rapidly, accelera ted by a good breeze, that it was impossible to extinguish the flames, and six cars with about two hundred and forty bales of cotton were destroyed. It is supposed that the cotton caught fire from sparks from a sta tionary engine in use by the company at Milien. The ^Kin*drcl*. Simmons, Slocum & Sweatnam’s Min strels gave their farewell performance at the Theatre last evening to a fine audience. An entirely new programme was presented which was well carried out. The specialties were most ludicrous and were received with uproarious applause. The excejior quartette sang several selections with fine effect and were enthusiastically encored. The com pany is as we have said, a good one, and we are sure will be greeted with crowded houses in Charleston, whither they go. Georgia Hussars. The Georgia Hussars, at their meeting last night, decided not to accept the invitation of the Richmond Hussars to visit Augusta on the occasion of the laying of the corner stone of the Confederate monument. A committee were appointed to make arrange ments to remove the remains of Private Waddell, who died during the epidemic of 1876, from J.aurcl Grove Cemetery to the company’s lot at Bonaventurc. As soon as the committee report that the arrangements are complete, the troop will escort the body to its last resting place. .Ylllltary Election. At a meeting of Company A, Savannah Volunteer Guards,held last evening, to elect a First Corporal, vice G. S. Fleetwood, re signed, the following were elected: J. B. Ferguson, First Corporal. J. W.

The Arctic Base Ball and Social Club will give a grand ball at Masonic Temple on Easter Monday evening. They will have a full brass band in attendance from S o’clock, also a string band, both remaining all night. This will be one of the grandest affairs of the season. The gentlemen composing the committee are an fait in such matters, which fact is a sufficient guarantee that evervthing will be done to promote the pleasure of those present. Read their advertisement. Real Estate In Exchange for City ot Savannah Hondo. In another column will be found a notice of valuable real estate for sale, in which it is announced that city of Savannah bonds, stamped or unstamped, will be received in payment. This shows that there is no dis trust regarding these bonds, and we look upon it as a good sign. Read the notice else where. The property is eligible and may be classed among the valuable real estate of the cltv. Change ol Schedule.

ELTZ RECOVERED Verdict of Suicide by Coroner** Jury. Yesterday morning a colored man by the name of Toby Robinson, whilst going down the river in his boat discovered the body of a man, on the shore, about a quarter of a mile this side of Fort Jackson. He had been told before starting that a man had been drowned, and was asked to keep a lookout for the body and was observing the shore closely when he discovered it. He at once secured the body and brought it back to the city, lauding at the Barge Office, when the Coroner was notified. Dr. Chisholm at once repaired to the office when notified and empanneling a jury proceeded to hold an inquest. Toby Johnson was examined and gave testimony establishing the facts above stated. Patrick McGuire, the night watchman at the wharf of the Savannah, Charleston and Florida Steamboat Company, was swom, and testified as follows : About nine or a little after on Wednesday night, I ob served a man walking across the wharf, whom I supposed was looking for the steamer Dictator, when he suddenly returned walking towards the ship : I started to see what he was after,but before I reached him I heard a splash, and running to the point from whence the sound proceeded, saw a man paddling in the water with his hands; after looking around and discovering there was nothing to throw him, I ran back to the of fice and got a piece of rope which I threw to him and which circled his head: I called to him several times to catch it, but he made no attempt to do so: about the sami time a colored boy came running up and asked rne what was the matter: 1 told him a man had got over board, and requested him to swim and put no am, anu requested nun to swim auu pui the rope over his head: he said he could not swim; I then called to the steam tuy Bach elor, which was then lying at Mr. Murray’s dock; there was no one aboard but the fire man, a colored boy: he came forward but gave no assistance: the man floated from the slip where he fell in about sixty feet, and then sunk, whilst we were making ef forts to save him with the rope: this was the last I saw of him; he did not appear to be injured, Charles Gassman testified that he had been in the habit of seeing Mr. Eltz nearly ever}* day, and had never noticed any thing unusual in his manner; always thought he was doing a very fair busi ness; on Monday night, whilst going to a meeting, I called by his place and asked him if he was going and he suid yes, and took his hat and came with me; I asked him how his business was: he said very good, but that he had let himself into somebody else’s business (meaning Juchter) regarding some insurance, and thought lie would be sum moned as a witness, but he thought it would not amount to much: I asked him no further questions, and after leaving the ball saw him but hail no conversation with him; I saw him about 6 o’clock on Wednesday evening at Mr. Kreeger’s; Mr. Kreeger said if he had any one in his store he would go ami take a glass of beer; I said that Eltz would keep store, which he did; we went out and on our return Eltz left the store without saying a word, and that was the last I saw of him. Henry F. Suiter, clerk for Mr. Eltz, testi fied: On Wednesday night Mr. Eltz left the store without giving information where he was going; I waited until half-past twelve o’clock, when, he not returning, I closed the store: on Thursday morning 1 opened as usual, but heard nothing of him the entire day; about eight o'clock Thursday night 1 informed Mr. Krieger and Mr. W. C. Clark of his absence j on Friday morning I saw Mr. Arnold Seyden, who informed me he had been at his place on Barnard street between nine and ten o’clock, and also Mr. Brooke, who informed me he had seen him at eight o’clock on Broughton street going towards Yamacraw; about nine o’clock VV ednesday night he was at Mr. Helmken's place on Exehauge wharf taking a glass of ale; on Monday or Tuesday night he was standing ’in the door when Mr. Strasser passed and asked him him how he felt; he said he felt very well if people would not trouble him; when he left the house he had no other articles with him than those that were found on his person; he was not in the habit of staying out late at night, and only did so occasionally. J. 11. Helmken testified: On Wednesday night about nine o'clock Mr. Eltz came into my store and asked for a glass of beer, which I gave him, at the same time telling him it was strange to see him under the bluff at that time of night; he answered that he had just beeu to see a friend of his; I made some other remarks, to which he did not reply, and immediately left the store; he seemed -all right and was not under the in fluence of liquor; lit* showed no money; simply placed a nickel oil counter for his beer and left; I don’t know which direc tion he took; he is generally quite jovial, but on this occasion said nothing, only came in and got a glass of beer; this was the first time I have ever seen him in my place; he looked worried, and seemed in a hurry. THE BODY, which was in a somewhat decomposed cort dition, the face being totally black and unre cognizable, was examined. There were no marks of violence found. On the person was found the gold watch and chain of Mr. Eltz, and also some papers, by which identification was rendereiUeasy. After consideration of the testimony, the jury, composed of J. L. Connolly, \V. Sulli van, James Keane, II. F. Graman, Thps. Kemev, Wm. Hayes, and Jas. Larkie, ren dered the following verdict: “We, the jury, find that the deceased, Constantino Eltz, came to his death by sui cide, having drowned himself on Wednes day night, the 13th of March, 1878.” The body was turned over to Mr. Gassman, President of the German Friendly Society, by the Coroner, who placed it in charge of Mr. Goette, the undertaker, to be prepared for burial. blatters and Ttiiu"* Laconically Noted.

The magnificent steamship Johns Hopkins ' d ’ from Baltimore, was visited by a number of persons yesterday, including several promi nent officials iii railroad aud steamship circles, all of whom expressed the opinion that she is in all respects one of the most perfect steamers that has ever visited Sa vannah.

THE RECENT HI RDEB. Statement of the Wounded Sailor. A representative of the Morning News called at the Savannah Hospital yesterday and had a conference with George Orr, the second mate of the bark Tikoma, who was wounded on Sunday morning by the negroes who killed Daniel McDermott, a seaman on the same vessel. Mr. Orr, who is an educa ted man of rather prepossessingappearance, informed us that on Saturday night he and the carpenter of the bark came up town on busi ness, and about 9 o’clock started to return to the ship. Whilst on their way they met McDermott, who insisted on his stepping Into a saloon and taking a glass of beer. Orr was persuaded to accompany McDer mott, but remarked that he did not care for the beer and would drink no more. The car penter proceeded on to the vessel. After they came out of the saloon and started for the ship, McDermott said he wanted to stop at a certain house. Orr told him that he had better come on, as it was getting late. He said he would not remain long, and asked the mate to wait for him, which at last hu consented to do. McDermott re maining in the house some time, Orr went in and called him to come on, and finally he came out, but the woman who was in the house was jawing with the deceased. After they had proceeded a short distance a bottle was thrown at them by the woman, when McDermott stooped’down and picking up a small stoue threw it back. In a second afterwards On- said he heard a low whistle, and taking McDermott by the arm told him to come along or the police would be after them, and he would deliver him up. Thev resumed their walk, Thos. Nicholson, a seaman on the Lady Dufferin, having joined them at the house, when suddenly foot steps were heard behind them,and they were attacked by negroes with sticks. McDermott was knocked down, Orr was struck several times, but managed to ward off some of the blows running, all the time and not per ceiving that McDermott had fallen. He weakened, however, and had to sit down, when Nicholson came up and said Dan had been killed. Orr went back to him aud found him lying on the sidewalk. He called him by name, but he ditl not answer, and he perceived he was dead. He was very weak himself, and re quested Nicholson to get 6ome one to take him to the vessel in order that he might send after Dan. He did not then know that he had been cut himself, and thought the pain in his shoulder was from a blow given by the club. He says he would not be able to recognize their assailants or any of the parties as he had not beeu in the locality before. His wound is doing quite well and he was anxious to get up yesterday aud go to his ship, which was cleared for Liverpool and will sail this morning, but the surgeon attending strongly disapproved of it. and stated that if he did so the conse quences would be with himself. Mr. Orr, who is very anxious to reaeh his home in New Brunswick, said he would take the risk, and about half-past twelve o’clock was making his preparations to leave for the ship, when he was served with a summons detaining him as a State witness. Capt. An drews, commanding the bark, stated that the British Consul notified him that he could not take Orr. as he was a witness, and must be kept where he could be found when wanted. Mr. Orr’s uncle, in New Brunswick, is owner of the bark Tikoma, and he appre hends his family will be very uneasy w hen they find he is not on her. With quiet and good nursing it is thought he will now recover, but any exercise or ex ertion, in the opinion of the physicians, is ^ I i • any. dangerous and may result fatally. SAVANNAH BONDS. What Au^UKta Holder* Think About the Oiler by the C ity of Savannah - Nobody Will Accept. Augusta Chronicle and Constitutionalist. About five hundred thousand dollars city of Savannah bonds are held in Augusta, and much interest is felt here, consequently, in regard to the action of Savannah in refer ence to the bonds. A Chronicle reporter called on several prominent bondholders yesterday, in order to ascertain their views in reference to the settlement proposed by the City Council of Sa vannah, namely: the issuance of new bonds of the same face value as those now in existence, maturing in thirty years from January, 1879, aud bearing interest, payable semi-annually, as follows: For the first ten years, three per centum per annum; for the second ten years, four per centum per an num; for the third and last ten years, six per centum per annum—the matured cou pons also to be funded in the same manner. Mr. John J. Cohen said he was not in favor of any oomDromisc. and he didn’t think’ any of the boudhoIuCTi Augusta were. Mr. Curry said he had no idea of agreeing to such an arrangement. He had some past due coupons to Savannah to be sued. He had received the following letter from bis attorneys; Savannah, Ga., March 8,1878. Mr. George P. Curry, Augusta, Ga.: Dear Sir—Yours of 7th insfc. received to day. On yesterday we took judgment in the Superior Court, after striking pleas of the city, in four cases aggregating in principal sums $346, with interest on each coupon from its maturity. These cases were ap pealed from the Justice's Court before exe cution was issued. There are five other cases now pending in our Superior Court, where the city waited until levies were made, and then in each case filed an affidavit of illegality, alleging that the property levied on could Pot be sold. The position ot the City Council is that no property belonging to the city can be sold under judg ment against it—a position which we think quite as untenable as it is novel. When these affidavits of illegali ty came up yesterday the court granted the city more time, and the case will be called again in a few days. The city’s counsel stated that the city projmsed to have the Superior Court pass upon the question raised by these affidavits. The policy of the city is to tight to the bitter end all creditors who push and will not compromise. This course is pursued without reference to the class or character of the bonds and coupons We believe that we will collect eventually all of your coupons, but that your cases will go to the Supreme Court before such collec tion is made. You understand, of course, that it is in the power of a defendant to de lay considerably the collection of ji perfect ly valid claim. Very respectfully vours, A. K & S. B. Adams. Mr. J. W. Coskery said there were $500,000 of the bonds held in Augusta, and he didn’t believe $1,000 would be compromised in the way proposed. He would sooner lose all he had of them than consent to any such set tlement. Mr. D. R. Wright thought Savannah should have been willing to fund the past due coupons and let the bonds themselves remain as at present. He was opposed to the settlement. Mr. 11. H. Hickman said he was satisfied that the bondholders would prefer to take 80 cents on the dollar for their bonds than new bonds at 3 or 4 per cent., which would really be worth nothing. He saw no reason for exchanging the bonds. Those now held bv the bondholders were surrounded by bet ter guarantees than could be attached to the new. After the old bonds were given up and the new issued, the city of Savannah might say it had no authority to issue them, and thus get rid of the whole debt. We understand that coupons to the amount of $4,500 were sent to Savannah yesterday, to be sued. . Ship Building at St. Yfary’*, Georgia. Editor Morning Ncicc It seems only a few months since we cli.onicled the building aud launch of the steamship Gladiator, at St. Mary’s, Georgia, yet it is with much pleasure we place on record a recent visit to the building yard of the enterprising firm of S. L. Burns & Co., at that favored poiDt, who, encouraged by the success which attended the launch of the Gladiator aud her subsequent perform ances, have, within a year, placed another and still larger boat on their stocks. We hope, if possible, to avail ourselves of the kind invitation of the owners to be present at the launch of their new boat during the coming week, and therefore shall not pre sume to divulge the “ profound secret ” which ever environs such undertakings until the ship receives her name and seeks her destination at the same time; but we cannot refrain from mentioning some facts which we gleaned during our visit respecting this too neglected industry of ship building at the South. In reply to our inquiry, “Can you build such a boat cheaper here than at the North?” one of the firm replied: “Undoubtedly, and, further, get unquestionably better value for our money. In the first place, we have all our conveniences at hand and on our own premises—saw mills, machine shop, ways and forge: our pick and choice of the choicest timber, the finest live oak and Geor gia pine, cut from our own lands and put into our yard St less than half the cost of such lumber North, while the copper aud iron is delivered on our wharf; free ot freight, New York prices. Our skilled labor costs us no more than it would North, and we can utilize with profit our unskilled labor. But above all, we have the advantage of seeing the construction of our boats from kelson to topmast, and the in tense satisfaction, as in ;he case of the Gladiator (to which the speaker pointed with (net nrlilpl L’miu-imr iK.i nn with just pride), of knowing that no better or sounder work can be turned out of anv 6hip yard In the country.” Itopiug to revert to this important subject at no distant date, we kwait with pleasure our invitation to the launch of the good steamer , at 6t.
