HOW TO ADVERTISE.
To the Bu**iuc»t* Public ol Savannah.
We desire to call the attention of all who
wish to increase their business by advertising
to the following facts:
The Morning News has a circulation in this
city and throughout Georgia and Florida never
before attained by any paper or combination
of papers in Savannah.
Its daily sales of papers alone (this does not
include regular subscribers) is equal to the en
tire circulation of any paper heretofore pub
lished in this city.
The special rates given to contract adver
tisers for monthly, quarterly or yearly adver
tisements are as low to-day as they were when
the Morning News had but a quarter of its
present circulation.
It is our aim to publish a journal worthy the
commercial character of our city, and we
would like to see represented in its advertising
columns every business house, tradesman and
other calling.
“REMEMBER THAT SYSTEMATIC AND
PERSISTENT ADVERTISING IS THE SUREST
ROAD TO SUCCESS IN BUSINESS.”
Our current rates are as low as those of any
newspaper of the same circulation in the Union,
and we incite the attention of advertisers to
them.
Estimates for advertising promptly furnished
on application at the office, No. 3 Whitaker
street.
Hymeneal—Compliment to a German
Volunteer.
Last evening Mr. Henry Sehroeder, a
member of the German Volunteers, and
Miss Annie Siem were united in the bonds
of matrimony at the residence of Mr. John
Lorgc, corner of Jefferson and Huntingdon
streets. The German Volunteers being
apprized of the pleasant event, de
termined to pay their brother mem
ber a compliment. Accordingly, after
their meeting last night, they assem
bled at their armory in uniform, and, accom
panied by t lie Savannah Volunteer Guards
Baud, proceeded to the residence of Mr.
Lorgc and complimented the newly married
couple with a delightful serenade. They
were invited in and had the pleasure of
tendering their congratulations in person
and having a good time.
Valuable Watch Recovered.
On the night of the 5th inst. Mr. Win.
McNeill had the misfortune to lose his
watch and chain and a small amount of
money, his pocket having been picked by
some of the light fingered gentry. The
matter was kept quiet, and the police authori
ties informed of the robbery. Yesterday
morning Sergeant Killourhy, who had been
on the qui vine for the parties, arrested Jack-
sou Gransburry and Jesse Dickerson, colored.
On the former was found the watch and
chain.which were identified by Mr. O'Neill as
his property, and were delivered up to him.
No money was found on either of the troop
ers, they probably having had a good time
on the funds before their capture. They
will be held at the barracks subject to a war
rant of a Magistrate.
Tribute to Gallantry.
At a meeting of Teutonia Lodge No. 7,
Knights of Pythias, on Wednesday evening,
a series of resolutions adopted by the Lodge,
and very haudsomely engraved by Mr.
Fred. Weber, K. of R. and S., were pre
sented Mr. Leonard Beyer, of Friendship
Lodge No. 4, K. of P., of this city, as a
token of their esteem and appreciation of
his gallant conduct in rescuing from a terri
ble death by fire the wife and daughter of
Mr. Nicholas Tomes, a member of Teutonia
Lodge, whose house on the White Bluff
road was destroved by fire in August last.
The resolutions were presented by Past
Chancellor Isaac Russell in a very neat
speech.
Personal.
Among the passengers who arrived by the
steamship City of Macon on her recent trip
from New York was Mr. Edwin H. Low, of
the National Steamship Line, and a native of
this city, accompanied by his wife. They
left for Atlanta the same evening on a visit
to his father, Mr. James H. Low, who was
one of the members of the late firm of
Padelford, Fay Co. He will return to Sa
vannah shortly and will remain several
davs.

HAS THE MAYOR THE RIGHT TO
DISCHARGE A POLICEMAN t
Ex-Policeman Brown** Suit for Pay
Decided Agaloat the City.
The readers of the Morning News are
aware that the case of ex-Policeman Peter
Brown, which has excited so much con
troversy, after the recent action of the City
Council, when non-jurisdiction was pro
claimed, was transferred to a magistrate's
court.
The cause came up for trial before Magis
trate Russell, in whose office the suit against
the city was entered. Hon. Rufus E. Lester
appeared for the plaintiff, and Hon. W. D.
Harden for the city.
Peter Brown, plaintiff, was sworn, and
said: I have been on the police force since
October *2,1871; was appointed during Mayor
Screven's time; went on the force for one
year; was continued on until dismissed: the
city paid my wages to 1st January, 1878: the
city generally paid on the 15th of the month
for the month previous, ending on the 1st
of the month: since the first of Januarv the
pay was ^>0, it was previously $65: 1 did
service until January 23, 1878, until six
o'clock in the evening of 23d January; I
was locked up on the night of the 23d Janu
ary, 1878; I have always been ready and
never refused to perform duty: I was pre
vented from performing duty by the Chief
of Police and Mayor of this city: the charges
were read to me in the Police Court: wit
nesses were sworn; I was allowed and did
make a statement; I was confused; it was not
a fair hearing, because the charges are not
true, and because I had no chance whatever;
the Mayor asked me what I bad to say;
I then had an opportunity to make a state
ment: my lawyer, Mr. Russell, made a
speech in my behalf; I did not have any
witnesses sworn, and offered no witnesses;
the Mayor found me guilty of the charges
and dismissed me from the police force: JI
have not beeu in any employment since dis
charged by the Mayor; Alderman Schwarz
told me to report to the Mayor and
Chief at the Exchange, that he (Al
derman Schwarz) would try to get
me back on the police force; myself aud Al
derman Schwarz went to the Mayor's office:
the Chief of Police was sent for: the Chief of
Police said if I made application they would
put ine back on the police force; 1 refused
to do so, but said 1 was ready to do duty if
permitted: I have not returned the uniform:
the pistol I had was left at the police bar
racks; the uniform does not belong to me:
when I came on the police force the Chief
told me that I was required to serve for
one year and no less time: I was appointed
during Mayor Screven's time and served
until dismissed by Mayor Wheaton.
When I say the Mayor dismissed me I
mean that he discharged me on the charges
preferred by the Chief: I did not violate
any ordinance or rules to cause my dis
charge: I have not engaged in any business
since 1 was discharged from the police force
by the Mayor.
The defendant's attorney made a motion
to non suit on the ground that the
testimony did not sustain the charge,
aud that there was no cause of action
by the testimony of plaintiff. Section 4845
of the Code: City Code of 1871, page 369 and
370; City Code of 1871, pa^e 374.
This closed the case and Magistrate Rus
sell rendered the following
DECISION.
The motion to dismiss requires this court
to decide whether the defendant was legally
or illegally dismissed from the police force.
It does not appear from the testimony of
plaintiff that lie had a fair and impartial
trial. Tlie plaintiff having testified that he
was locked up, brought up for trial, did not
obtain a fair trial, and that the charges read
to him were not true, I hold, and so decide,
that it is the duty of this court to decide
whether the action of the Mayor dismissing
Policeman Brown was legal or illegal, and
from the testimony before me it does not
sustain the motion to dismiss. The motion
is therefore overruled.
The defendant offers no testimony. I
therefore decide that from the evidenr e be
fore me the plaintiff was illegally dismissed
from the police force, and is entitled to his
full wages for the mouth of January, 1878,
aud judgment is therefore rendered in favor
of plaintiff against the defendant for the
sum of sixty dollars, with interest and costs
of suit.
According to this decision, if we under
stand it, the city will not only have to pay
the amount sued for, but is liable for the
pay of ex-Policeinan Brown, for the remain
der of the year, and that suit will be
brought for the pay monthly.
The case may be certioraried, but so far
as we are informed no such steps have been
taken.

The Homefttead of 1868 and the
Bankrupt Law.
We learn that parties who file their ap
plications for relief in bankruptcy in the
United States Courts for the Southern and
Northern Districts of Georgia are entitted,
in addition to the five hundred dollars
allowed by the government, to the home
stead exemptions allowed by the Constitu
tion of 1868 in this State, whereas those
who make applications for exemptions
through the Ordinary are only enti
tled to the exemption allowed by the
new constitution, the result is an increase
in the number of bankrupt cases, and it is
probable this M ill be more noticeable for the
next few months, as the probability of a re
peal of the bankrupt law will have the
effect of hurrying up the “shaky” ones.
The following extract from the exemption
clause of the bankrupt law explains this and
is of interest:
* * * “And such other property not
included in the foregoing exemption as is
exempted from levy apd sale, upon execu
tion or other process or any order of any
court by the laws of the State in which the
bankrupt has his domicile, at the time of
the commencement of the proceedings in
bankruptcy, to an amount allowed by the
constitution and laws of each State as ex
isting in the year 1871. As these provisions
are founded upon the humane policy of
providing means for the support of the
poor man and his family, they are to be
liberally rather than strictly construed. They
should receive such fair construction as will
best promote the beneficent intentions of
Congress.’’

Cut Willi a Rock.
Yesterday morning about 10 o'clock Jan
uary Owens, colored, in charge of a gang
of negroes working on the wharf of the
Florida Inland Steamboat Company, ordered
one of the negroes to do some particular
work. The fellow' became abusive and re
fused to do as ordered, whereupon he was
told to leave. Instead of doing so he
picked up a rock and threw it with great
violence at Owens, striking him on the
temple, inflicting an ugly cut. Owens made
his way to the drug store of Dr. Osceola
Butler, followed by a number of negroes at
tracted by his bloody face. The injury was
attended to, and Owens left for his work
again. The other negro w r as not arrested.
Cottou Thieves.
Yesterday afternoon about five o'clock,
Policeman Morgan discovered two negro
women in the act of stealing cotton from an
office on the Bay, and at once went after
them. Perceiving the officer coming,
the women gathered up their skirts
and skipped, Policeman Morgan following
close behind. He managed to capture one
of the women, who gave her name as Jane
McCall, and carried her to the barracks,
where she calmly rested last night, and
who awaits a requisition from some enter
prising magistrate.
A Fortunate Discovery.
Yesterday morning about ten o’clock as
the steamship Johns Hopkins left her wharf
she fired a gun from her deck that was
pointed towards the wharf. The wad, we
learn, fell on the wharf in a blaze and con
tinued to bum for some time, when it was
noticed by a colored man, who immediately
seized it and threw it overboard. Had
there been any hay or cotton on the wharf,
the result, but for this fortunate discovery,
might have been serious. The gun should
have been pointed in the opposite direc
tion.
Internal Revenue Violations.
Wylley Harper, colored, of Hancock
county, was arrested by one of the
United States Deputy Marshals and
brought to Savannah on Wednesday
evening on the charge of a violation of
the internal revenue laws, in selling liquor
without his revenue license. lie had an ex
amination yesterday morning before United
States Commissioner Wilson, when the evi
dence adduced not sustaining the charge,
he was discharged from further custody.
