a rival ?
The ( nion Society—Its Condition
and tlic Need of Assistance.
We learn that there is the painful prospect
that the Union Society will have to abandon
in a great measure the good work which has
been carried on under its administration un
less more interest is taken in its affairs by
our people. Year by year the income from
its permanent investments, by the reason of
depreciation iD rents, and by the dropping
off in membership, has been decreased until,
this year, there Is a deficit of three thousand
dollars.
The popular idea is that the Union Society
is a wealthy corporation, with an immense
income from its property. This is an en
tirely erroneous impression. It has but lit
tle property, ami its total income from all
sources is only a fraction over three thousand
dollars per annum, including tbe subscrip
tion of its members.
The society is an institution of our city,
identified with it from its foundation, and
beyond doubt one of the noblest ever de
signed by man. From its charitable portals
have been ushered youths whose manhood
has borne the fruits of their judicious train
ing, and who have proven to Georgia useful
citizens. The question of the prosperity of
this society hence is one in which every
citizen is interested. Founded by the good
Whitfield, and nurtured by noble men in
even" generation from his time to this, it
should be sustained and encouraged in its
grand work. Will our people by their su-
pineness and lack of interest in this
great c harity permit its permanent fund to
become so crippled that the usefulness of
the society will be destroyed. Its anniver
sary is approaching, and as public jour
nalists we feel that we are but doing an act
in which the community is interested in
asking our people to contribute to its con
tinued existence.
The membership fee is but five dollars,
aud we would urge those who do not feel
able to contribute more to at least join the
society and help the good cause to this ex
tent. We are sure there is not a citizen of
Savannah but would learn with regret that
the Union Society, an institution which has
always been regarded with so much pride,
had been compelled to cease in its beneficial
work, and yet such may be the case unless
assistance is received. Therefore, while the
spirit moves, open ye your hearts, and ac
cording to your means contribute to the
cause.
Throttle and Brake.
Yesterday we were shown a very pretty
engine flag, which was presented to Mr.
Mike Courtnay, the gallant engineer of the
“Andrew Low,” on the Central Road.
It was presented by some of his fair Sa
vannah friends, for being, as they declare,
the best looking man on the road and the
best engineer.
It is made of green opera flannel, with a
silk eross in raised work in the centre, and
the border trimmed with cream-colored rib
bon and neatly embroidered.
Mr. Courtnay is a true-hearted Irishman,
and this trophy in the emblematic colors of
his' country will long be preserved.—Macon
Telegraph.
We can congratulate Mr. Courtnay upon
the reception of this handsome testimonial,
aud have no doubt the Central Railroad eu
gineers cheerfully yield to him the palm of
not only of being very popular with the ladies
of Savannah, but those of Macon, and in
every respect a true-hearted Irishman, but
he is not the only one of the engineers who
has been similarly complimented. Mr. Hugh
Bodell, who runs the engine named in honor
of the native State of the ex-President of
the Confederacy, “Mississippi,” has also
been the recipient of a handsome flag from
fair friends, in which the colors of the Con
federacy and the Emerald Isle are combined.
His numerous friends also think he is as
handsome as he is brave, notwithstanding he
intends to cling to bachelor life, whilst Mr.
Courtnay, it appears, will shortly lead a
fair Southern daughter to the matrimonial
altar

Allowed to Testily in Their Own Be
lla if.
The readers of the Morning News have
noticed in the telegraphic dispatches from
Washington the passage of a law which
allowed prisoner* tuimuAid for violation of
the United States laws to testify in theii
own behalf. This is a very im
portant law,
and will be of in
calculable benefit to a large class
in the interior. It is believed that many in
nocent persons have in the past been con
victed and made to suffer the penalty of al
leged violation of the laws, simply because
they were not allowed the privilege of mak-
ing’a statement or testify in their own be
half. As a matter of interest we give a copy
of the law, which is as follows:
“That in the trial of all indictments, in
formations, complaints and other proceed
ings against persons charged with the com
mission of crimes, offenses and misdemean
ors in the United States courts, territorial
courts and courts martial, and courts of in
quiry in any State or Territory, including
the District* of Columbia, the person so
charged shall, at his own request, but not
otherwise,' be a competent witness, aud his
failure to make such request shall not create
any presumption against him.”
Approved; March 16, 1873.
—
THE CITY DRAINAGE.
The Admirable Disposition of the
Fnnd I.ranted by the State Out of
the Taxes.
We are glad to state that the work of
draining the low swamp grounds adjacent
to the city with the funds generously legis
lated by the State Legislature, with the ap
proval of the Governor for that purpose, is
rapidly and skillfully progressing. Colonel
Aver}-, Secretary of the Governor, is in the
city, and among other matters was directed
by the Governor to look into this and report
progress. His Excellency approved the
measure under very strong opposition, and
ha* taken and »tilf continues to take a warm
interest in the successful execution of the
project. Yesterday the Board of Commis
sioners took Colonel Avery over the work
already done and the ground to be worked
and explained fully what has been and is to
be accomplished.
Tbe Board of Commissioners is admirably
constructed. It consists of five members:
Dr. Thomas, the Chairman, an eminent phy
sician and judge of the sanitary features of
the subject: General Gilmer, an accomplish
ed engineer: Colonel John Screven, an expe
rienced planter, with long acquaintance with
the topography of our county: Hon. C. C.
Casey, a County Commissioner, an intelli
gent gentleman: and lastly but not the least.
Captain John r. Wheaton, the popular and
practical Mayor of the city, whose sound
sense leavens* everything he is connected
with. Mr. Cunningham Is the Treasurer of
the board: Mr. Rebarer, the Clerk of the
City Council, the Secretary, while Mr.
Schwaab is the efficient engineer who is exe
cuting the plans of the board.
The work perfected has been principally
done on the west side of the city, and is
really marvelous, considering the extent of
the achievement and the moderate cost.
The Governor cannot fail to be delighted with
the execution of this part of the important
labor. These lowlands have been absolutely
and most skillfully redeemed. The ground
the other side of the canal and the land
lying west of the Laurel Grove Cemetery
has been a death-creating marsh, flooded
and malarious, uncultivable and miasmatic.
From seven or eight square miles of marsh
north of the Ogeechee canal, from the
watershed lying along the Ogeechee road
and from its own undrained flatness, came
such floods of water that the Springfield
plantation was a waste unsightly to behold,
bordering the city, and a pestilence breed
ing region. Surveying the ground carefully
and bringing consummate foresight and
planning to bear upon it, the board have tri
umphed over every obstacle, and converted
this dreary bog into an arable farm. Luxu
riant fields of rich grain and tropical vege
table garden^ now greet the eve, where for
merly gloomy wastes of bog aud swamp
growth blotched the vision and dispensed
disease. The board first widened and deep
ened Musgrove creek into a broad canal, with
a broad high bank on the upper side, calling
it Springfield canal, which, running under
the (igeeehee canal and conveying the floods
of water from the square miles of low land
beyond for two miles, carried them to the
Savannah river. The next step was to block
off from the low grounds the volumes of wa
ter poured from the water-shed along the
Ogeechee road. To do this they dug the
“Brow Ditch,” as they call it, a mile and a
haH long, running below Laurel Grove
Cemetery, and emptying into the sewer near
the railroad near where the Ogeechee canal
runs under it. Along this ditch a high broad
bank has been constructed, wide enough to
drive along. The last step was to ditch the
low grounds, emptying the water through
the syphon under the Ogeechee canal ArAo
“Hogg’s Sewer.”
In addition to this, the work of redemption
of the entire western side of tbe city, a
grand and important work, an equally
valuable plan of drainage has been beguu
and is being continued on the eastern side
of the city.
Th# result of the work so far done has
been to relieve the whole western plateau of
the city of summer sickness, to bring into
agricultural use miles of fertile land that
were a barren, boggy waste, to give health,
beauty and fertility to these suburbs, and to
create future revenue to city, county and
State.
The cost of the w ork so far has been the
incredibly small sum of only about eleven
thousand dollars. There arc about fifteen
thousand dollars more to be expended, not
enough to complete the grand labor. It is
simply surprising that so large an achieve-
A Tribute to tlie South.
Rev. A. O. Brickman, now in Savannah,
in a letter to the New Jerusalem Messenger,
entitled “Missionary Work in Georgia,” con
cludes as follows:
“There is a generous and noble-hearted
spirit in the people of the South which is
uot excelled anywhere in the world, and the
time seems to me not far distant when the
people of the East, North and West will
learn to understand and appreciate the
Southern people much better. Surely there
is, in my estimation aud according to my
experience. Jno better mission field in our
country than the South.”
incut has been done with so little funds. It
shows the economy and care of the board.
These public spirited gentlemen have dis
charged their duty with remarkable fidelity.
They have supervised every foot of the
work. They have met ever}- week to devise
and direct the plan. They have spent the
money in the most economical manner, giv
ing out the labor by contract to the lowest
bidder, requiring the engineer, Mr. Schwaab,
to supervise every detail, and paying only
after faithful performance of the work.
Colonel Avery, after a careful examina
tion, expresses himself delighted with the
work of the board, and, as may
be inferred from his views above
expressed, will make a most compli
mentary report to the Governor, both
as to the masterly judgment, skill and care
with which the work has been planned and
executed and the fortunate choice of a
capable und honest board.
It should not be overlooked that as the
tax of 1877, which was given for this pur
pose, did not begin to come in until a few
months ago, that the board was enabled to
commence ami do a large part of the labor
last year by the liberalit}- of the Central
Railroad, which loaned a large sum of
money to the city without interest.
It is an important matter for Savannah,
and her thanks are due to those in power
who, in her trouble, have given such sub
stantial aid.
A NEW PROJECT.
A Railroad on the River Front Con
necting the Gulf and Central Rail
roads—A Great Scheme.
Some years ago the project of construct
ing a railroad on River street, from the
wharves of the Central Railroad to the
wharves of the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad,
was broached, but the measure found main-
opponents, and no positive steps were taken
in the matter.

12 Days Only!
ATTENTION
murtum £alcs <To-?ajt.
But as “times change and men change
with them,” we are not surprised to hear
now that the project has been revived, and
active measures have already been inaugu
rated looking to its accomplishment. There
has already been a revolution in the mode
of conducting business in Savannah, and our
increase of shipping, the system of through
freights, the demands of the steamship lines
to the various Northern cities, combine to
require greater facility in the transportation
of freights and the dispatch of business. It
is contended bv the parties who favor the
new enterprise that it will have the tenden
cy to enhance the value of not only the
wharves (some of which are now
unoccupied), but the property along
River street. A number of the property
owners, who heretofore opposed the project,
have, we understand, been lately approached
on the subject, and in the new light of things
have been convinced that a railroad along
the wharf fronts will not only be of great ad
vantage to the city, but will be of benefit to
their property. The second floors of the
various buildings on River street are now
mostly unoccupied, and have been compara
tively of no value. Through the successful
completion of this enterprise, it is asserted
these stores will be in demand as warehouses
aud will command good rents. Another ad
vantage is claimed in the concentration of
business in the centre of the city, instead cf
at the extreme western and eastern limits.
Within the past few days the route has
been surveyed, and the distance from one
railroad to the other ascertained to
be about two miles, and the cost is esti
mated at $125,000. In consequence
of the narrowness of River street,
the projectors propose, we learn, an ele
vated railroad on stanchions aud about
fifteen feet high, traversing the wharf front
age, and on a level with the floors of the
second stories of tbe buildings on that street.
There will be switches or slides at the dif
ferent steamship and steamboat wharves,
and at such other wharves as may be de
sired, for the discharge of freight.
Two light locomotives, about nine tons
each, it is anticipated, can be obtained at a
cost of fifteen thousand dollars, and as the
flat cars can be procured at very reasonable
figures (the two railroads, we understand,
being willing to furnish cars for the trans
portation of their own freight), it Is estima
ted the construction and equipment of the
road will not cost quite one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars.
From what we can hear there will be no
difficulty in raising this amount, as the im
pression seems to oe the enterprise will be a
profitable one and the stock will pay a hand
some dividend. This, however, is a sec ‘nd-
ary consideration with the projectors, who
consider that it will be of permanent and
great benefit to the general business interests
of the city.
We learn that the moving spirit in the en
terprise is of the opinion that the work
could be completed in three months or by
the first of September if commenced with
out delay, aud would give employment to
hundreds of men.
Judging from the interest that seems to be
taken now in the matter, we have no doubt
the project will assume tangible shape be
fore many days, when we hope to give full
information concerning it, as most certainly
the subject is one of great interest to this
community.

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 the 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 ohailis, which tend to
weaken the digestive apparatus A far better
remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Hitters, which
strengthens the cellular membr. ae, 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,
aud there is no more trouble from heartburn or
sour stomach. The liver and bowels are also
thoroughly regulated by this sovereign alter
ative. rahl9-Tu,Th,S&wlt

MYTHS ARE BUT SYMBOLS OP
TRUTH.
As the scholar sees iu the vain but beauti
ful mythologies of the ancients the em
bodied expressions of the hungry human
soul, blindly groping after the Infinite, so
the physician sees In that popular myth of
the sixteenth century the fountain of per
petual health and youth—an expression of
the longings of suffering humanity for a
remedy that should forever prevent the in
cursion of disease. The wilds of* Europe
were ransacked for this wonderful fountain,
and Ponce de Leon sought for it in the
cypress swamps and tanglod everglades of
our sunny Florida. Men have searched for
it everywhere and anywhere but where it
really is—in the human body itself. The
blood is the real fountain of perpetual health
and youth. When this source is corrupted,
the painful and sorrow-producing effects are
visible in many shapes. The multifarious
forms in which it manifests itself would
form subjects upon which I might write
volumes. But as all the varied forms of dis
ease which depend upon had blood are
cured, or best treated, by such medicines as
take up from this fluid and excrete from the
system the noxious elements, it is not of
practical importance that I should describe
each. For instance, medical authors de
scribe about fifty varieties of skin disease,
but as they all require for their cure very
similar treatment, it is of no practical utility
to know just what name to apply to a certain
form of skin disease, so you Know how best
to cure it. Then again. 1 might go on and
describe various kinds of scrofulous sores,
fever sores, white swellings, enlarged glanus,
and ulcers of varying appearance: might
describe how virulent poison may show itself
in various forms of eruptions, ulcers, sore
throat, bony tumors, etc.; but as all these
various-appearing manifestations of bad
blood are cured by a uniform means, I deem
such a course ’unnecessary. Thoroughly
cleanse the blood, which is the great foun
tain of life, and good digestion, a fair skin,
buoyant spirits, vital strength, and sound
ness of constitution, will all return to us.
For this purpose Dr. Pierce's Golden Medi
cal Discovery and Purgative Pellets are pre
eminently the articles needed. They are
warranted to cure tetter, salt-rheum,*scald
head, St. Anthony's fire, rose rash or erysipe
las, ring worms, pimples, blotches, spots,
eruptions, pustules, boils, carbuncles, sore
eyes, rough skin, scurf, scrofulous sores and
swellings, fever sores, white swellings, tu
mors, old sores or swellings, affections of
the skin, throat and bones, and ulcers of the
liver, stomach, kidneys and lungs.
