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.

Comparative statement of temperature at Savannah, taken from the Signal Service Personal. Mr. Jos. S. Fay arrived in this city on the steamer City of Savannah on Tuesday. Mr. Fay lived here for many years previous to 1858, and was one of the firm of Padelford, Fay <& Co. During his residence in Savannah he filled many important positions, was several times a member of the Board of Aldermen, Chief Fireman of the Fire Department, President of the Union Society, and a Direc tor in the Central Railroad and Banking Company. He was also a member of St. John’s Church,and presented to it the chime of bells which so musically summon wor shippers to that sacred edifice. Mr. Fay left the same afternoon for Florida to spend some time, accompanied by hi6 daughter and sister. On his return he expects to remain a few weeks, and may be assured of a warm reception from his many friends. 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. At EntiU’tt To-Day, No. 27 Hull Street Savannah Morning News.

The funeral of Mr. Constantine Eltz, who was drowned on Wednesday night, the 13tli inst., and whose body was recovered on Tuesday afternoon, took place yesterday at three o'clock from Turner Hall (St. An drew’s Hull), whither the body had been carried from the undertaker’s. The funeral was attended by the German Friendly So ciety, Savannah Turnverein and Teutonia Lodge No. 7, Knights of Pythias, to which organizations deceased belonged. The re mains were interred iu the lot of the Ger man Friendly Society in Laurel Grove Ceme tery. Excursion to Europe. In our advertising columns this morning will be found an announcement of the issue of return tickets to London and Paris at reduced rates by the North German Lloyd ;teamers, which leave New York every Sat urday, calling at Southampton to land pas sengers and mails for the cities mentioned. Mr 11. L. Schreiner, ticket agent of the Central Railroad and North German, states that he will ticket passengers from their homes at any railroad station and return. Those who desire to make an European trip this summer at a reasonable expense, should read the advertisement for further information, and interview Mr. Schreiner. Robert Emmet Association. A large meeting of this association was held last evening, about fifty-six members being present. A constitution and by-laws was submitted and adopted, after which the association proceeded to an election for offi cers, with the following result : President—D. J. Foley. Vice President—P. Tuberdy.

WSavanu&h is reveling iu magnificent moon light nights. And the gates of the Old Cemetery will he reopened. No cases of interest before the Police Court yesterday. The Fire Department are to have five hun dred feet of new hose. Up to midnight no arrests of importance were recorded at the barracks. We understand that M’Ue Rosa D'Eriua contemplates returning to Savannah this season. Dr. Read, who has been confined to his house by severe indisposition, is recovering rapidly.* * Hospital buildings are to be erected at th quarantine station and bids will shortly be advertised for. The committee of the Schuetzeu Society are busily engaged in preparations for the annual festival. During the past week the deaths in Charleston numbered 33, of which 9 were of whites and 24 of colored. Handsome prizes will be awarded the best military teams in the contests to take place at the approaching Schuetzen festival. We hear that there are three Savannah young ladies who are studying with the view of entering the theatrical profession. It is rumored that the sharpers who re cently “went through" the hotels at Jack sonville. are meandering around Savannah. So<la water fountains will soon be in full blast. Already several are in operation, and the demand for the cool beverage is increas ing. The Board of Fire Underwriters are anx ious to ascertain some points in reference to the late disastrous cotton fire on West Broad street. Our musical loving citizens are antici pating a rare treat in the concert to be given by Professor Mallette on Tuesday evening, 26th inst. Several of the furniture dealers have re ceived large consignments of baby carriages. Does this signify an increase of Savannah’s population 9 The petition of sundry citizens in refer ence to “drummers’' introduced in Council Last night and published in the proceedings will be read with interest. Captain Wm. M. Davidson, who had hii leg broken on the 11th of November last, was down town yesterday in a buggy for the first time since the accident. The drug store of Dr. Osceola Butler is to be improved, unlarged and rendered one of the finest establishments in the South. The work was commenced yesterday. Mr. Frank E. Rebarer was elected last night as Clerk of Council. He is proficient in clerical work, obliging and courteous and will no doubt make an efficient Clerk. The encore nuisance shows no sign of abatement. It is very evident that people of sense must learn to hiss, or else remain away from concerts.—Southern Musical Jour nal. Exactly so. *- Mr. Meves, the efficient Keeper of Forsyth Park, is energetic iu the work of adorning and beautifying this favorite resort, and al ready the numerous choice floral attractions are the delight of every eye. A new invention in the way of a colored illuminated glass sign adorns the front of Mr. E. L. Zittrouer’s drug store, corner of South Broad and Jefferson streets, and lights up several blocks with its soft lurid glare. We have received the March number of the Southern Musical Journal, from the pub lishers, Messrs. Ludden A Bates, which we may remark cn passant continues to improve, and is more interesting and entertaining than usual. For the first time since his election the chair of Alderman Hamlet, the efficient Chairman of the Street and Lane Commit tee, was vacant at the meeting of Council last night. His absence was occasioned by sickness. At the meeting of the Ladies Memorial Association yesterday afternoon, it was de cided unanimously to remove the marble figure surmounting the Confederate monu ment, and substitute therefor a bronze figure of the same style. Dr. Mull, of the State University, advises the students to marry, and demonstrates that two can live cheaper than one. Some young men iu Savannah would be rejoiced to have this assertion demonstrated to their satisfaction, so we request that the receipts be forwarded for their benefit. 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 for the daughter the same, with her nan Presented to Mks. C. I. King, by Clinton Lodge No. 54, F. A. M., Savannah, Georgia, for heroic conduct in attempting to save the life of Bro. Robt. McCalla from drowning in Lazaretto Creek, October 1st. 1877. On the reverse is a neat engraving, repre senting a man struggling with the waves and two women in a boat endeavoring to reach him. Over this scene is the square, com pass and the “ all-seeing eye.” The medals will be sent to the ladies with suitable resolutions. They can be seen at A. Steiuberger’s jewelry store, Barnard street. 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.” CORPORATION PROCEEDINGS. Electing o Regular suini-Jlontlily Council.

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 mother*, mother*, mother*.

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 Yours respectfully, T. II. W. Superior Court. Judge Henry B. Tompkins, presiding.

Rep- S ard, reported favorably; on petition of J. !. Henderson, unfavorably. On petition of Wilder A Co., the Com mittee on Docks and Wharves recommended that the terms of the original ordinance l>e complied with on certain conditions. Joint Committee on Public Sales and City Lots and Dry Culture Committee, on peti tion of James Dooner : reported the same should be made to the L nion Society.

A new ordinance, in reference to the weighing of hay, was submitted by the Fi nance Committee. 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 the public treasury of a considerable reve nue. We therefore respectfully petition your honorable Council to modify the pre sent ordinance by repealing that portion of section VL, page 11, which reads: “Shall pay the same tax required of resident and stationary dealers in the same articles, with out reference to the time of the year when the businesses commenced,” anil substitute therefor, “The Mayor may, in his discretion, grant a temporary license to the representa tives of rejnilar business houses to sell by samples to the regular dealers in this city, upon payment of such part of the pre scribed tax as he (the Mayor) shall think just.*’ Referred to the Finance Committee. Petition of Edward Rowe, in reference to damage to his crop, caused by the overflow of Bilbo canal, and requesting the appoint ment of arbitrators, was referred to the Dry Culture Committee. Petition of R. D. Walker in reference to separate titles to property. Referred to Committee on Public Sales and City Lots. Petition of Edward Kelley to lease cer tain lots on Springfield plantation. Referred to Committee on Public Sales and City Lots. Petition of J. M. Bischoff for the removal of gas lamp in front of his store to the corner. Referred to Gas Committee. Petition of John McGrath to rent ten acres of Springfield plantation. Referred to Committee on Public Sales and City Lots. ELECTION. Election for Clerk of Council being an nounced in order, applications from several gentlemen were read. A ballot was taken aud resulted in F. E. Rebarer receiving ten votes, and the Mayor therefore declared Mr. Rebarer elected Clerk of Council to fill the unexpired term. # RESOLUTIONS.

Thomas, Secretary of the Board of Underwriters: I have been instructed to respect fully furnish your honorable body with the following* copy of preamble and resolutions adopted by the Board at a meet ing held on 13th inst.: Whereas,' At the recent fire at the Savan nah Bank and Trust Company's north cot ton warehouse the various insurance com panies represented by this Board suffered loss to the extent of nearly two hundred thousand dollars; and, whereas, it was stated in the public prints that the police force had received a notification some time previous to the tire that 6ome attempt was about to be made on said warehouse; therefore, be it Resolved, That our Secretary be instructed to write an official letter to the city govern ment respectfully asking if such notification was given to any member of the police force, and if so, how long before the fire oc curred; also asking why such notification was not acted upon by the police, and proper means taken to avert the destruction which finally ensued. Referred to the Mayor. A communication received from the au thorities of St. Mary’s, enclosing an ordi nance adopted in reference to quarantine measures, was read. Received as informa tion. The Mayor stated that he had appointed as arbitrators in reference to dry culture, Messrs. John McMahon, Marmaduke Hamil ton and F. M. Hull. Thu Mayor also stated that he had con tracted for* two of the patent fuinigators at a net cost of five hundred dollars, to be de livered by the 15th April next.

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. Foreign Export*. Messrs.

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.'’ 8.: J. L. Beebe and wife. Brooklyn, N. Y. W.
