A Powerful Antidote to Two Great
Enemies of Unman Health and
Life—Trie Acid Poison and
.Malarial Poison.
In these Waters is found the most powerful
of known solveuts of Uric Acid, and in cases of
blood poison from the presence of this acid
they have given prompt and decided relief
after a failure of all other remedies. In Mala
rial Poison in all its forms, concomitants and
sequences they are equally potent, and are
espTially efficacious in Chronic, Intermittent
and Reiiiittent Fevers; and in their power to
neutralize and expel from the system these two
poisons is found the key to their almost univer
sal adaptation and wonderful curative power in
chnmi- diseases. In Rheumatic Gout. Rheuma
tism. Paralysis, Dyspepsia, Dropsical Effusions,
and in Diseases of the Kidney and Bladder, they
are second to no other medical agents, whether
among mineral waters or medicines.
In the Peculiar Maladies of Women they are
pronounced by eminent medical men "WELL
NIGH SPECIFIC.’’
They can be had at the Springs at $5 per

City of Savannah Bonds.
We are pleased to hear of the readiness
with which our citizens who hold city of
Savannah bonds are responding to the pro
position of compromise embraced in the re
cent ordinance adopted by Council.
Messrs. Bluu «te Deraere, we learn, are
the first to accept the terms, and
now having $10,700 of these bonds stamped,
accepting the compromise. The bonds and
coupons arc stamped in red ink with the
terms of the compromise. We hope that all
the holders of bonds will come forward
promptly and further this effort to settle a
question that has been a source of much
anxiety and trouble. The proposition is all
that could be expected under the circum
stances, and it is believed it will be generally
acquiesced in.

Complimentary Testimonial* to tile
Heroism of Two Ladles.
It will be remembered by the readers of
the News that Mr. Robert McCalla was
drowned near Tybee Island on the 1st of last
October, by the capsizing of his boat. Mrs.
anti Miss King, the wife and daughter of
Capt. James King, a river pilot, who were
spending a few days at Tybee, were witnesses
of the accident, and, obtaining a small boat,
they heroically went to the rescue of the
drowning man. facing a heavy wind, and had
he listened to their appeals and abandoned
his boat, to which he was clinging, he would
have been saved.
Mr. McCalla was a member of Clinton
Lodge No. 54, Freemasons, and the Lodge,
by resolution, authorized the preparation of
medals commemorative of their heroism,
which will be presented to these ladies. The
medals are in the shape of a Maltese cross,
suspended by a bar and pin, and the one for
the wife bears the following inscription, that

A Stranger’* Opinion of the News
Office.
We extract the following from a letter of
the correspondent of the Marlborough Gazette
and Prince George's Advertiser (who accom
panied the excursion party recently here
from the North, and who is now in Florida),
giving his views of Savannah during his so
journ in this city:
‘Returning to the hotel after making a
short tour of the city, we were welcomed
by a kind invitation from J. H. Estill, Esq.,
proprietor of the News, to visit and inspect
his establishment after dinner, which was
gratefully accepted. Mr. Richardson, for
merly of Baltimore, and Captain Waller ac
companied us to the office ami introduced us
to their chief of staff, Colonel Thompson,
and other officers of the pa]»er. To say that
I was surprised at what I saw in this estab
lishment, very feebly expresses my amaze
ment. The building is a large four-story
one, with a tall tower on top, and every
floor, including the basement, is occupied by
the News and its force of about one hun
dred and fifty hands. Every branch of the
art is carried on there, and nowhere in the
South cau be found a more perfect estab
lishment. The proprietor, Mr. Estill, is
still a young man, and takes commenda
ble pride in the prosperity of his city,
of which he D one of the leading spirits.
He has evidently mapped out for it a glori
ous future, and, we sincerely pray, may be
spared to record its full realization.”

The Stinging Sensation
In the gullet called "heartburn" (why. it is im
possible to conceive, since the heart has noth
ing to do with it >. is caused by the acetous fer
mentation in tbe stomach of the food contained
in it; by an overplus of the gastric juice, which
is itself a powerful acid, or by the unnaturally
acrid quality of that secretion. The ordinary
way of treating this symptom, for it is nothing
else is to administer bi-carbonate of soda, an
alkali to neutralize the acid. But sour stomach
cannot be cured by alkalis, which tend to
weaken the digestive apparatus. A far better
remedy is Hostetler's Stomach Bitters, which
strengthens the cellular membrane, the seat of
the difficulty, regulates the flow of the gastric
secretion, improves the quality if vitiated, and
puts the stomach into good working order.
Perfect digestion follows as a natural sequence,
and there is no more trouble from heartburn or
sour stomach. The liver and bowels are also
thoroughly regulated by this sovereignalter-
ative. mhl9-Tu,Th,SA w It

V Valuable Gold King-Who** I* It?
The following communication will explain
itself. The name of the writer will be fur
nished the owner of the ring mentioned on
application to this office:
Greenwood, S. C., March 17th, 1878.—
Editor Morning Mews: There was an adver
tisement in your paper some time back—
probably a year—for a gold ring with an in
scription upon it. I have learned that a
ring I can get has the same inscrip
tion. The ring has this inscription: “Robt.
McKewn, O'B.. 16th Dec., 17**4, .E. 3S,” on
the outside of the same It has two sets on
either side of the middle stone,which is lost.
The 6Cts appear to be diamonds. No doubt
if the ring is the one that you advertised it
is prized very highly as an heirloom of some
old family. I can get the ring for you for
$10, as it is in the possession of a negro boy
here who claims that it cost him that
amount, he having purchased it from a party
coming from Florida. It will afford me
pleasure in securing the same for your ad
vertiser. _ tt

PETITIONS AND APPLICATIONS.
Application of S. Meinhard, for sewer
connection with Drayton street sewer. Re
ferred to Street and *Lane Committee, with
power to act.
A petition from sixty odd citizens doing
business in Savannah was presented, asking a
reconsideration and modification of the tax
ordinance in regard to “drummers'’ or itine
rant dealers who visit this city to secure or
ders or sell their wares by samples only,
upon the following reasons set forth:
During certain months of tbe year our
city is visited by at least two hundred drum-
mere in the legitimate pursuit of their busi
ness, whose presence is a source of satisfac
tion to our larger dealers, and of positive
profit to our hotels and retail dealers. This
class of travelers are liberal with their
money, and being personally known to our
merchants establish friendly relations with
them, which eventually prove a mutual
benefit. For the past four years the u pro
rata" taxes paid cheerfully by these com
mercial tourists have been a fruitful source
of revenue to our city treasury and of no in
considerable patronage to our hotels, retail
stores, etc., etc. And furthermore, when
the tide of health and pleasure seekers is
turned from us, our hotels must look almost
solely to this elass of travel for their main
tenance during the summer and early fall
months.
While your petitioners decidedly endorse
the wisdom of your present ordinance in
providing a heavy tax on those itinerant
peddlers who sell on the street corners or
from house to house, thereby seriously in
terfering with the regular trade, we respect
fully call your attention to the heavy aud
almost prohibitory tax imposed on those
drummers who deal with anil sell only to the
trade, the enforcement of which will serve
to drive away from our city this £Iass of
travel, thereby inflicting a heavy loss on
nearly every class of our business com
munity, and in addition thereto will deprive

upon payment of such part of the pre
scribed tax as he (the Mayor) shall think
just.*’

IMPORTANT ARREST.
The Recent .Harder The Hun Who
Saw the Deed Committed.
We are pleased to chronicle this morning
the arrest of Monroe Coleman, one of the
negroes charged by the Coroner’s Jury with
being concerned in the murder of Daniel
McDermott, a seamen of the bark Tikoma,
on Sunday last, which was made yesterday.
Capt. Haskell, who has a plantation in
South Carolina near the ferry, and who is,
we believe, a Trial Justice, was informed by
James Morrison, colored, that Coleman was
at his house. Glascow Merrill, a colored
constable, was dispatched for Coleman, and
arrested and brought him to this city, with
instructions to deliver him to the police. Fie
met policeman Maher, to whom he delivered
up the prisoner. Coleman was then taken
to the barracks. He made no resistance to
the arrest, but stated that he did not com
mit the murder, and intended to return to
Savannah.
We called at the barracks last night and
had an interview with the prisoner. He
states that he was with Johnson and Small
on Saturday night and joined in the attack
upon the sailors. He had a stick and struck
one of the sailors over the head. He asserts
positively that lie had no knife and that John
son was* the only one in the party who
had a knife, and that he saw Johnson when
he cut McDermott, at which time he told
him “there was no use in stabbing the man.
After the assault they fled the
scene, Johnson returning to the Louse
of Eugenia Rawls, the negro female
with whom he was living, and that was the
last he saw of him. Coleman went to the
house of Simon Jackson, where he had
room, and remained until he heard the ex
citement caused by the raid upon the dens
by Sergeant Killourhy, when, fearing ar
rest, he jumped out the . hack window
and made his escape. On Sunday
morning early he crossed the river and re
mained on the South Carolina side near the
ferry until Monday morning, when be
started for the house of James Morrison,
about eight miles from the ferry, who
formerlv lived in Savannah, and with
whom he was acquainted. Morrison had
heard of the murder aud that Coleman was
implicated, and refusing to entertain him,
reported the matter to Capt. Haskell, when
he was arrested as above stated.
Coleman is a hard looking negro, of
medium size and undoubtedly possessed of
great physical strength. He is not averse to
talking, and tells readily (apparently) all he
knows about the crime. He is a most
valuable witness for the State, as he posi
tively asserts that he saw the knife in .John
son's hand, and saw him when he dealt the
blow. He is at the barracks, subject to the
order of the Coroner, and will be committed
to jail to-day ou that official's warrant.
In this connection we may mention that
yesterday morning a negro female entered
Magistrate Wade's office and made some in
quiries in regard to the murder, which ex
cited suspicions. She was detained in
custody, when it was ascertained that she
was Eugenia Rawls, who had run off when
officer Morgan visited her house and found
Johnson's knife under the pillow of her bed.
She was thereupon committed to jail as a
witness, being unable to furnish bond.
The negro Johnson is still at large, but it
is to be hoped he may soon be apprehended.

Spring Trade Sign*.
A New York letter says: “Reports from
business quarters as to the spring trade
prospects are mostly favorably. The feel
ing is pretty general that prices have really
reached bottom, and this leads toward con
fidence, which is the great need everywhere.
The remarkably low quotations for gold, in
the face of the common belief that tbe
silver act would cause an advance, also
have some part in producing the better
feeling that seems to be growing. The
spring trade does not amount to much as
yet, doubtless because the weather has
been so unseasonable; but most of the
prominent merchants who have been
talked" with on the subject express
the opinion that a fair business will
be done in the next six weeks. The
hotel registers show steadily increasing ar
rivals from the West aud South, and this i6
a good sign for the business men, who watch
the hotels as closely as the weather men
watch the barometer. They all say, however,
that the era of large profits is past. Compe
tition has become so close that the margin
is small in all lines of business, and will re
main so. No one cau expect to do much
more than pay expenses for some time to
come, and as to growing rich in a few years,
that is utterly out of the question. But if
we get back to the point of making a safe
living, most of us will be satisfied. After
that the course is more likely to be upward
than downward.'’

words throughout this and other countries.
As the hand stretched forth in peril to

with catarrh, cold in the head, or “hay
fever?” If so, try Dr. Sage’s Catarrh
Remedy. It is the most soothing and heal
ing remedy known. It numbers Us absolute
cures bg thousands. Are you afflicted with
bronchitis, consumption, scrofulous tumors,
bunches or eruptions ? If so, try Dr. Pierce's
Goldeu Medical Discovery. It is the best
tonic, alterative, and resolvent medicine
known. By reason of its superior merit it
has, to a great extent, superseded the pul
monary syrups, sarsaparillas, and tonics in
the market. It will not disappoint you.
Ladies suffering with diseases and weak
