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 men must know who lias watched the tance three quarters of a days’. work- He was a good moulder, ■ able-bodied. i Q and twenty-five years ; of age. -.Well, i what was the trouble ?

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.

As to the question, “if it xvas prop er if it was delicate,’’ &c., in me to prepare the paper I did, I would say 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 cil and myself the manner in which we should conduct our business;. Much might be said as to the effect of moxung the guano houses out of the city limits as xvell as the decision of our Supreme Court concerning gu ano, but these matters xvere discussed by the Council at its meeting before their action and it doe3 not now de volve jpon me to renew the discus sion. Thanking you for the space I ha\’e cccupied, I am, Very Respectfully Jas M. Edxvards. 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-" * ll '“ .

The same holds good with 1 our cit ies ; they put on extravagances which (pardon me for saying) have not been doffed even at this trying hour of re pudiation. See cities spending thous ands on thousands for foolishness, and at the same time refusing to pay hon est debts, and can we xvonder at this ? We have been set examples by those sovereign heads xvho are so proud that they xvill not allow law to reign over them. The times are commer cially dishonest.

Ruff et. al. plaintiffs in 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.
