Mit. Editor.—Having promised to
give you my opinions in regard to the
Silver Bill just passed Congress, I
would ask to comply by first stating
that I apprehend but little damage
and but little good to come to the peo
ple or government.
The limited amount which the hill
authorizes coined wifl'tid more than
supplvjiorniiiee&isafrycurrCucv requited
by Ingrid, tfnmeilt for its disburse
ments arJUATh people will require all
they can get'Y^ay their dues to the
government; heflee, the silver dollar
gone. Let die people come to a strict
score-ot economy and force the gov
ernment te follow suit; and my word
for it, theh^will be no need for the
monetizatku* of silver , or a lack of
money to debts.
I - ^Respectfully,
v

R. L. Bloomfield.

priates money for holding a (Conven
tion and calling all nations to atteu-
tion in order that they and us! may
form d base of international exchange
of money as well as conimoditieft'looks,
to my mind, truly American. My
opinion is, that you will find that the
balance of the world Imve^lottg since

quire the silver to pay government
dues, hut should there remain a sur
plus at any time you wou’d see the
silver dollar at once diffor liom the
gold dollar in market value; and just
here I hold to be the great inconsis
tency of making two commodities le
gal money ; you are forcing under
values through the law. You can,
by law, force a man to take a certain
amount of silver for a dollar and es
tablish its value to be the same as a
certain amount of gold, but you cau-
not make a law which will make the.
creditor feel that be has received the'
value of his debt when his debtor
pays him in a currency five per cent.
i ^ • • i • ... v
depreciated iu comparison with anoln-
er legal tender which the law holds to
be worth no more. Now this could 1
all be made harmonious, by eutering
gold or silver in each and every coii-
.tract; blit this is so inconvenient thui
all commerce prefers to base all i :s
operations on the poorest or least val
uable currency, hence we have it in all
cases. Should there be half a dozen
kinds of currency you will find on ly
circulation. Wo. have four
kinds of circulation—you may say
five kinds—and yet how often do you
meet with more than too. You see
no gold, you see no greenbacks, anil
now since the eighry-tive dent silver
has been put in circulation you see no
stamps. We have silver worth nine
ty-one or two cents and national bank
bills which none knows the value of.
If we: had but one circolatiag me
dium or but ouc kind of money that
money would never be sold on the
market. If that circulation xras
greenbacks you would see gold sold as
other commodities on the market. If
gold was our legal tender and only
ktnd of money it would never be sold
on the market; it would have a stan
dard value of its own and all other
articles would te measured after its
standard. 1 notice Mr. Stephens
holds that there cau be no harm in
monetizing silver provided you make
the silver coin equal in value with the
gold coin. This would do xx*ell
enough, I agree, provided you could
keep them the same in value; but nil

Turkey or Russia lie might scour the
world and not find a vacant place,
from the fact that the necessities; in
his tirade demanded three workmen
ten years ago, where it requires one
to-day, and the result, of course, is a
surp'us of labor, and the result of
this is that those who have the mis
fortune to be thrown out of employ
ment iu these mechauical arts must
seek it in other branches of business.
The agricultural never g.ets more than
it can feed and clothe. It is utterly
out of the question for the agricultu-
Ijfral department to become overstocked
with labor so long as there is laud to
cultivate, and into this department
niany must go before the mechanical
arts wi>l be made paying in manufac
turing sections. , ,.
The trouble xiith the planter in our
rural sections is simply this: He
looks back on the years of prosperity
as they appear to him—contrasts', them
with his present condition, and he
thinks all his troublescc tne from lack of
a sufficient amount of currency to carry
bn his business. He lias but one cry,
money, money, money ! But let us ex
amine for a ruomeut. I remember
when he purchased bacon o.t twenty-
five cents; hay, two dollars; corn,
two dollars; sheeting, twenty cents ;
calico, thirty; sugar, coffee and all
other articles in proportion. 1 [is cot*

cient guarantee to the truth of the
statement that this remark was not
intended to give offense to any of
them.
As to the question, “if it xvas prop

that being an officer of the Railroad,
appointed to protect its interest, it
seems fiilly as proper and delicate as
for the gentleman to advise the Coun

we should conduct our business;.

Athens, M’ch 19th, 1878
and John Q. Tanner xvere plaintiffs,
and petitioners, defendants, in which
the former charged that a xvarehouse
in the town of Acworth, used by
petitioners as a place of storage for
commercial fertilizers, was a nuisance
to them.- Petitioners moved to dis
miss said case upon the following
grounds, to-wit
1st. Because the nuisance com
plained of, if any, xvas a private and
not a public nuisance.
2d. Because there is no ordinance
of the town of Acworth making said
depot a nuisance, or declaring hoxv
the same may be abated or. removed.
The. motion xvas overruled and
petitioners excepted upon each of the
grounds aforesaid.
The evidence showed that said
warehouse xvas near the Tight of xvay
of the Western and Atlantic Railroad
Company, and about one hundred
and fifty yards east of the depot in
the town of Acworth; that on one
side of said xvarehouse there xvas a
double railroad track and a xvide
street, and on the other . aide a .wide
street, separating it from any other
house; that one Joel Chapman re-
sided nearer to said warehouse than
any other person; that his xvife, on
one occasion, since fertilizers bad been
stored in said warehouse, was troubled
with nausea, and had lost one meal
other side is the affidavit and bond
of the petitioner. If the petition,
properly verified, makes such a case
as requires the writ; it ought to issue.
Tl»e only mode of contradicting the
petition. provided by law, is the
official return of the inferior tribunal,
made as the law requires. It was,
therefore, error in the Judge to hear
and consider xvhat came to his office
out of the hands of the other party,
and not as an official return to the
certiorari. The plaintiff in certiorari
has, under section 3994 of the Code,
a right to traverse even the return,
and it is entirely irregular to permit
his statement in the petition to be
controverted or supplemented by his
opponent on It’S application for the
writ. -
3. We think this petition makes
out a jrrima facie case. The pro
ceeding the « elondant is called upon'
to answer ouj^ht to notify him what.
is complained of. A nuisance is a*
very broad term. The proceeding 5 *
to abate is a very harsh remedy, and
everything should appear on the face
of the proceedings to justify it. Fair
notice of the nature of the complaint
ought to be given. The defendant'
may, perhaps, if H; be pointed out in
what manner he is hurting the com-*
plaiiiants, take efficient mentis to stop’ 1
the evil. We do not think the dr-"

error, vs. M. M. Piiillii’s et
defendants in error.
Nuisance. Certiorari. Before
Judge Knight. Cobb county. At
Chambers. February 14th, 1873
Mirtin L. Ruff, John R. Winters
and Milledge G. Whitlock, presented
their petition for certiorari to ihe
Honorable N. B. Knight, Judge ot
the Blue Itidge Circuit, making the
following; case:
On February 7th, 1873, there came
on to be heard before the President
and Commissioners of the town of
Acworth a certain cause in which M
M. Phillips, Thomas D. Perkerson
from nausea, j^fore said fertilizers had
had been thus stored, but that, in
bis opinion, in this instance, the
nausea was caused by the odor
arising from the fertilizers; that John
Q. Tanner and bis wife and child were
nauseated by the odor from said ferti
lizers ; that he had been thus affected
before said fertilizers • xvere stowed in
said warehouse; that no physician
as called in ; that petitioners proved
that neither before nor; during..the
I-.il was there stored in said ware-,
house anything but five car loads of
what is known as “ John Morrimau’s
Ammpuiatcd Bone Dustthat there
was nothing in said fertilizer calcu
lated to produce disease, but, on the
contrary, the ammonia contained
therein rendered the . odor
tbcrefrom> healthy. , u . , ;
The. President and Commissioners
aforesaid adjudged said warehouse
and its contents to be a nuisance, and
ordered that the same be abated
within ten days, or that a fine of ten
dollars xvould be assessed against
petitioners, and said warehouse and
its conteuts would be moved at their
expense.
McCay, Judge.
1. Section 4027 of the Revised
Code, provides that “ A public
nuisance may be abated on the ap
plication of any citizen of the dis
trict, and a private nuisance on the
application of the party injured.’’
Coming, as this does, immediately,
next after the sections pointing out
the mode of abating public nuisances,
it is impossible to say that a private
nuisance cannot be coated. Abated
is a technical term. Neilhev an ac
tion for damages nor an injunction
can abate a nuisance. An injunction
may prevent, and a verdict for dama
ges may punish, but neither of them
will abate a nuisance. We are clear,
therefore, that under the Code, a
private nuisance may be abated by
the same tribunal, and under the
same provision!! as are provided in
sections 4023,4024, etc., of the Code.
2. We think the Judge was bound
to judge of the sufficiency of the
petition from the tacts stated in it.
The protection given by laxv to the
periencc shows thiit every variotx
these manures arc carri’eiTupon rail-"'
mads, stored in bouses, sold' iu
market, handled by employees, haul
ed thicugh the streets and put ont 5
upon land without serious annoyance 0
to anybody. Wc suspect the stomach
which sickens at the smell of an ar- ,;
tide now in such common use, xvhicn,
in its worst form—Peruvian guano— 1
is carried by the ship-load thousands
of miles, is not a stomach of ari or
dinary kit d. It is too nice, perhaps,
from some disease, for ordinary life. *
It is not against exceptionable organi
zation that the 'nuisance arises. To
make a thing a nuisance it ought to
be of such a character as wonld hurt
or annoy in the legal sense of those)
atistng words —ordinary people—not nice,
susceptible, sickly people. ‘
4. We think, too, that the judg
ment of the Court directing the re
moval of the house and affixing a fine
was beyond the necessity of the case.
Why should the house be removed ?
Cannot the nuisance be removed by
removing the storage ? Nor had the
Court, in the capacity in which it sat,
power to line. We think this certio-
rari ought to have been granted.
Judgment reversed.

“ German Syrui*.”—No other
medieine in the world was ever given
such a test of its curative qualities

were distributed free of charge by
Druggists in this country to those
afflicted with Consumption, Asthma,
Croup, severe Coughs, Pneumonia
and other diseases ot the Throat and
Lungs, giving the American people
undeniable proof that German Syrup
will cure them. The result has been
that Druggists in every town and
