Volt StTREME JUDGE,
Hon. George Sharswood,
OF PH 11-VDELPIIIA
ON oun first page this week appears an ar
ticle purporting to be copied from the Salem
(Mass.) Journal, in which sneering allusion Is
made to the German population of Pennsyl
vania. It has been going the rounds of the
press for some weeks, without contradiction,
but we perceive that its.authenticlty is now
denied, it being alleged that no such paper ita
the Journal is published at Salem. Whether
the.whole matter is bogus, or the article has
been credited to the wrong source, we can
not say, but think the latter to be the most
likely explanation. If it is - a mere invention,
originated for campaign -purposes, its author
is deserving of the most bitter execration.
Such petty nets, of partizan trickery have be
come altogether too common of late, and the
journalists of either party, which encourage
them, must possess a very limited regard for
the responsibility that attaches to their mast
tion.
HOW TO HARE THE VNION PER.
=E!01
We suppose the chief advantages of the
Union to he these two,—security against for
eign . aggression, and freedom of internal com
merce. Historically, we know these to have
been the two main objects which led to its
formation, nor can we conceive of any con
siderable evils that would result from its dis
sillution if we would be exempted from the .
danger of 'foreign wars and obstructive trade
regulations. All who share these views re
spveting the'ehief ends for which the Union
must in consistency admit that the
poliCy and measures of the Federal GoVern
meat should be adapted to their attainment
`in the simplest and most inexpensive man
ner.
Now, the first and paFa - mountohject of the
Union—cheap national defence against for
eign-aggression—requires that the .people of
all sections of the country shall be well-af
fected towards the national go - vernment. It
is easy to prove that without this cementing
and harmonizing good will there can-he no
s ow national strength. We are at all times
(subject to the usual - Contingencies of national
life, of which foreign wars are among the
most common. The moment hostilities break
out, our foreign enemy will take advantage
of any large disaffection among our people,
and, IT stirring up new rebeßichts within our
borders, will prolong the contest and render
it (lonian] witedior we eloeu it without los
ing a part of our territory. A short-sighted
oolicywhicit cannot rise to a comprehtMsive
view (it' the larger national exigencic:s, and
doe- not see an inch before its nose, may es
teem it a light thing to embitter and exasper
ate a great, proud, and powerful section of
the IlTntry,instead of promptly healing the
wounds and reconciling the alienation caused
by Ai^ Al'aP. But, though a policy of
passion and exasperation may be popular - for
the moment, all right judging minds must see
that the chronic hatred which it tends to fos-
Mr, that the embittered feeling towards the
North as.insolent, despotic oppressors whicir
the Republican poliCy causes to dwell, like a
stinging scorpion, in Southern minds, must
cut the sinews and prostrate the strength of
the nation in a - foreign war. As - soon as such ,
a war breaks out, our enemy will offer to the
South relief' front mated yoke. The Repub
lican party, by its unjust treatment of that
)section, is doing its utmost to have such of
fers accepted. Unless this insane policy is
(hanged, and the South reconciled, we - shall
u-ee the enemy, in our first foreign-war, prom
ising the South - independence as the price Of
h m The Dcnnocta Or ptiltaT of eon
therefore, so far from looking to an
obsolete past, is founded upon statesmanlike
torecast of the exigencies of the future.
Such dangers as we have pointed out may
be treated with derision; but they are none
the less real because fools cannot, andfana
tics, will not, see them. It will not be the
first time that true predictions of real dan
gers have been derided by the sante persons.
When, ten years ago, the Democratic party
foren •Id alienation and civil warns the certain
consequence of the crusade against Southern
in - stitutions, the Republican party scouted
the idea of danger.' The Republkan
rests upon the foolish assumption that the on
ly. use we shall ever hereafter have for armies
and navies is the subjugation of sections of
our own country. It is a pojicyOf alienation,
Ilk - Mon and national weakness: Unless it is
abandoned, we.are nursing hostsof reinforce
ments for the enemy in the first foreign war.
The Democratic party justly despises a poli
cy which has no foresight of ordinary na
tional exigencies, and derives its whole ali
ment front revengeful passions and domineer
ing insolence.
STANTON SUSPENDED.
Wehave the gratifying news front Wash-
ington that the Preiident, on Monday fore
noon, sent a communication to the.lion. E.
M. Stanton, suspending him from office as
Secretary of War, and instructing him to
trareifer all records, hooks, &c., in his custo
dy to Gen. LT. S. Grant. The Secretary was
at the same time informed -that Gen. Grant
had been empowered to act as Secretary of
War td inteel,w. A connnunication was at
the ' , ane hour sent to Gen. Grant authorizing
Liar to act ;is Secretary ad iiderina and di
rectin2: him at once- to enter upon the dis
chare of the duties of that office. Shortly
tiller noun, Mr. Stanton sent. a reply to the
Pre , ident, in which he denied that without
tit!. I on-cut of .the Senate and without legjil
.att.'. the Executive had any right under the
Constithtion and laws to suspend him from
office. ,!Inasunich, however, as, the General
Commanding _ the armies at the United
State: had notified him that he had accepted
the appointment bf Secretary-of War ad
ito
• trri al, the Secretary concluded that he had
no alternative but to submit - under protest to
sup&rior force. Gen. Grant hasp therefore,
ts , nmed charge of the Department of War,
laid appeared at a meeting of the' Cabinet
held - on Monday for the purpose of consider
ing certain questions_ conneeted with the.
territpry recently hequired from Russia.
Vic New York Leader says that "Stanton
r7l4inds one of the obstinate suitor who was
sked by his sweetheart to resign his preten
sions. He answered by leaving her boudoir
and going into the parlor. Asked by het. pa
rents to withdraw, he answered_ by descend
ing to the kitchen. Told by the cook that he
Vas a nuisance; he rejoined by departing in
to the back yard, from whence he was speed
ily expelled by the policeman. And upon this
latter official asking him what lie meant by
• conduct so unworthy of asgentleman, finally
said, 'that he never pretended to be anything
of that sort.' "
THE following, from the New York Es
press, is slightly personal on Stanton: Mr.
Plethora, who is at the Springs, finding that
his man Jeans—left in charge of the flue
town mansion—was inclined to carry out his
oWn views, instead of his master's, addressed
the following note ULthe latter:
" As I no longer need your services, you
will please quit my house.. P."
To witich .de.erns: Forwarded the follo wing
answer: • .
" may not need my services, but
I like your house and need - your - money._ So
I shall not quit until your neighbora have de-
citled upon the matter. JEEIIS."

The daily pipers -of Saturday —con
talned a document prepared by lion. John
M. Binckley, acting Attorney General of the
United States, during the illness of Attorney
General Stanbery, in'which he transmits to
the President'they:wen; in theinatter of fhti
application of Charles A. Dunham, alias San.
ford Conover,for pardon. Conover was con
victed in the Court of the District of Colum-'
bia for perjury before the Judiciary. Commit
tee of the House, in swearing to a false state
ment before the Committe # 6 - implleating
. .tet'-
ferion Davis and other leading Confedetates
with the plot to assassinate President lAncoba.
On conviction he:was sentenced to ten years
imprisonment in the N. Y; Penitentiary. He.
ivas one of the foreinost witnesses in the trial
of the 'assassination conspirators, and seems
for some time before his imprisonment to
have made his living by false sivearing, sub,
orning witnesses,: and acting Ast.the. man
Friday of Stanton, Holt & Co.
_As soon as
he found himself caught,
.he endeavored_
to secure a pardon.' Finding all other.
drops unavailing, he at length sent a
communication to the President exposing the
schemes of the latter's enemies to wenn...his
impeachment, and begging that on the-
strength of the exposure, he should bexe
_leased. Instead of pardoning him, Mr. John
son sent the papers to the acting Attorney
General, who arranged them properly, and
they were then given to the public. The rev
elations they make are the most extraordina
ry which have appeared in American history,
and have sent a thrill of indignation through
the heart of every honest man in the country,
if hey show that - Judge Advocate General
Holt, A. G. Riddle, a_ member of Congress.
from Ohio, James 11. Ashley, the notorious
impeacher, Benjamin F. Butler, and others,
were concerned in one of the vilest plots
that has ever disgraced any nation, ancient
or modern, savage or civilized. The con
spiracy was formed to procure the pardon by
the President of Conover, and his restoration
to the rights of citizenship, thereby -mating
him a competent witness before any court in
the rand. Ashley, Holt, Butler and Riddle
certified that he was a worthy object for_ ex
ecutive cletneney,'and senCletters to the
President favoring Conover's pardon. In
consideration of their services in his behalf,
Conover was to testify to the folloWing"istio
cions fidsehoods, his evidence' being
supported by that of other witnesses, drilled
to their part in the villainous perjury by the
conspiring Congressmen
First—That Booth was. familiar and inti
mate with Vice President Johnson, prior to
the assassination. , .
fiecentl—The Vice President Corresponded
widrllooTh.
-Third That thii „placing of Atzerodt is
the ;lirfzikorid House, on the night of the as
sassinatielf, "was a sham to make it appear
Johnsoh : - was an intended victim, and- thus
distract ftll suspicion .of his conniving at - the
murder of President Lincoln. - ,
Fourth=-That Booth had stated to his most
intimate friends in New York, that in killing
Lincoln he was acting with-the knowledge of
John. n.
Till testimony was to be - used in The that
place to educate - public sentiment ropto The
impeachment point; n'nd in the second to pro
cure the President's conviction by Congress.
-The proof is of. the most convincing, kind.
Letters are given from Holt, Ashley, Butler
and Riddle to the President, asking Dior Con-•
over's pardon, and the latter testifies that he
had engaged in case of.his•release to-procure
the testimony wanted. Several witnesses had
been put in training previous to his convic
tion, and it was the evidence of one of these
that was published in the Dispatch some
weeks ago. The prisoner states that up to
a short period before making the exposure he
had felt sure that the lab - ors of Holt, Ashley,
Butler and Riddle would secure his pardon,
but that finding their attempts- tinsuccessfhl.
he has ventured upon this plan, as a last re
sort. He'makes a clean breast of the entire
matter, gives the substance of the testimony
he Was expected to procure, details visits
froni the conspirators to his cell, while in
Washington, shows how some of the witnes
ses had been engaged, And points out the
means that had been adopted to make the
scheme successful. •
Could anything more satanic-Lanything
breathing more truly the spirit - of
, hell itself
—he devised than this scheme to ruin, and
possibly even take thelife of the President,
atml consign his name to an immortality, of
infamy? In this ploi we have the explana
tion of all die:dark hints thrown ont in Con-'
gress, by Butler, &silky, Chandler and oth
ers,, connecting tits .President with the assas
sination— They were !merely preliminary, to
prepare dhe public mind for the perjured
statements of C4iOver,'ta 'be thrown before
the public ai%soma 'al the President had been
induced to pardon; and thereby certify to his
credibility as a witness. The Assistant At
torney General, in presenting this 'exposure
of the conspiracy to the President, says:
" I beg leave to express the -profound -sen
sibility with which I find myself obliged to
bring to the serious notice -of- the President
of. the United States' accusations and papers
which must occasion him painibleraburrass--
ment. They expose prominent metuberotOf
the Legislature of thus -Union to the .shoehing_
suqpicion of having conspired with a con,
vieted perjurer for a stupendous imposition
—first upon the house of Representatives;
then upon the peOple and the Senate of the
United States, for the purpose of effecting.
the impeachment and removal front office of
a Presttlent of the:United States, solely upon
suborned testimony.. I need not say with
what astonishment mankind would hear-it
disused that a scheme so abominable was
height( neill still by the pmuliar wickedness of
attempting to induce the intended victim
him elf ; through appeals to his clemency, to
qualify,lty, a pardon, with p counuent cum,
petency to act and tkitify, the: prmeipal in-,
struntent of the imposture !"
GE 'S. SICIMES has notitiedGov. Worth, 'of
North Carolina, that the session of the Legis;
lature of that State, which, by adjournment,
was to be held during.the present month, is
Postponed until further °niers. Gen. Sickles
has ako suspended jury trials in North Cam
lina, pending a revision of the jury - lists: if
all the military commanders in the South
were like Sickles and Sheridan, they .would
soon main a worse than Poland of that see
lion of the Republic. And yet these men are
the special 'fayorties .91" the ' party in power,
and the Chief Magistrate, of the nation is
menneed with impeachment if he dares , to
interpose his authority betwCeit . lir 'People of
the South and 'naked, zunrelieved. military
tlepotism.
A LEADING Radical . jourtinl in 3Thuitiiota
thus alludes to the Germans. of St Louis:
"The German beer-guzzlers . of St. Louis, re
dolent of Limberger cheese, and restive for

and bass-drums in their deserted-beer-gar
dens, utter the same howl_ of !Puritan intol

Tun trial of John H. Sarum has, termina
ted, as everybody supposed it would, in the
disagreeinent of the jury, eight, standing fcir
acquittal, and four for conviction. lt lasted
just silty days, Including Sufidays, and dur
ing its progress two hundred and eighty-two
'witnesses in all went; exiinin4 It has beets
an expensive affair ror the government. The
costof the trial will exceed $lOO.OOO. There
were. 113 "witnesses ciamined for 'the
prosecution and 109 fn' thC defense. These
receive $1.2.7 per day, and five cents per mile,
traveling expenses. The Jurors alone get
$1,384 for salary, - and their . 'dim Inge bill
hmounts to $730. "Beside the. salary to be
paid to the District Adopt . e. and Assistaqt,
it is understood Judge Pierrepont gets $lO,-
000 for his fees. Col. kOster, a New York
' lawyer, who assisted in Working. upthe.case,
'also gets a good - ixitind sum for his services.
To all this must be addedikesalaries of the
Judges, officers and,attemjartpTat Court. The
'Government paid the, defmadant's witnesses
as.well as those of the,prosecution. There
hasbecu no end to perjury on the part of
witnesses both' for the prosecution and de
fence, and to the tricka , resorted to on .both
sides; and the result is that there is still
doubt in many minds whether young Surratt
is guilty of the crime with which he is charg
ed, and more yet whether the Military Com
mission did substantial justice in theltilling
of Mrs. Surratt.
THE RADICAL PANACEA..
. The people of the United States-are weigh
ed down with a burden of debt and taxation
that has no parallel in the . history of the
world. And what measures of relief - do the
Radicals propose? What do their Conven
tions declare for?' What do their press advo
eate? Nothing but negro suffrage! They'
seem to think that this will par , the poOr
Man's taxes ant remedy all pecuniary suffer
ings and afflictions. ,Their Only panacea for
the troubles of white men; Is the bringing of
the negroes to the ballot boy tinil to the so!
cial circle. That is the.cure-nll with thereof
everything. What if the poor man is-made
a slave to debt and taxes,,ifonly AGica votes!
Looking tit 'it in' this light, thd Republican
papers talk of very tittle elSe" than the negro
.and his rights! They ic'eirt to forget entirely
that this was originally' a White man's kov
crnment, and that it continued to be so from
its organization dOWn'to the pericid when - a
sectional -party was cnintsted with the reins

Letter from ' a Gentian Republican
Editor. .
Ente, August 11,11367.
.
EDITOR. .EITIE OBSERVER:—Dear Sir:—
Will you have the kindness to publish the
following answer to the charges made in the
annexed article from 'eat Saterdays'Dispatch,`
against myself and the, perinea Spectatot.
In doing so, you will greatlymblige me. Tile
`Dispatch says:
ri t
` - "It Will be remembered that we did I t
'endorse the election of Governor Geary, a d
that among other reasons which we gave n
explaniation.of our dissatisfaction, we m -
tioned his visit to a lager beer' drink in thi s
city, and the absurd toast hetherc gave 1-
terance to. To counteract this statement, of
ours—which wusevery word of it truth—the
'edit& of thel - lenuan . Spectator, of- this city,
was induced to send a letter to Harrlshnm - ,
over his own signature, which was published,
emphatically -- denying the charge. But
. through some singular influence, not alto-.
grittier unaccountable in these days of profit
and policy, he is - induced, in` a late number
of his paper, to Chafp Geary with the same
1 inconsistency, hypocrisy, and incompetency
' which we charged him with aeon after his
election. We have no fault to..find with this
gentleman, but wonder that his denial of our
chargeagamst Geary should so soon escape
- his memory."
First, allow_me to state. Hr. Editor. that
the senior publisher and conductor of the
Eric Daily Dispatch was present with Gov
ernor Geary on the above mentioned occa
sion, at that 'horrible' pittee, the _German
Beer Hall, and indulged in the :`free drinks"
as often as his excellency. the Governor,
'himself. It is, therefore, ritilentbns to sup
pose, that the editor of the Dispatch refuried
to endorse Governor Geary, because he visit
ed a beer hall and took a glass of lager with
his Gunman friends of the Lledertafel. Be
sides, I may say, that the Erie Dispatch nee
,or meadowd this beer matter as a crime,
until some time after the election ; its asser
tions that "amongst other reasons," the Dis
patch did notendorse Governor Geary, and
opposed him as a candidate for Governor, as
might be supposed by the first paragraph of
the Dispatch's article, because he took a glass
of lager and gave an absurd toast, are, there
fore, not true. The same' love for truth and
veracity dictated the editor of that paper,
when he says that the editor of the German
'Spectator denied the charges that Governor
Geary had been drinking the lager and mak
ing that•toust. Nothing of the kind - was
ever tmdertakert by me. I considered it my
duty. as President of the
,Liedertafel Club.
whose private guest Governor Gea r y was at
that time, to contradict the alleged absurd
words on that occasion charged upon' him,
and which were calculated to make hint up
pear.ridiculons throughout , the State. : No,
body. .present at the hall-'—at least 'I have
heard of none,and took great-pains to in
quire—except the editor of the Dispatch,
'heard arrYcznoi (Parry, spy„ "it : was the Whole
sentiment ,of his heart, that-Ahe Germans
loved their beer,,the Predeh their wine, and
Irish their potatoes:" -The mere toast was
given without the absurd preatabless a joke.
At ILIA ,time it wasn't either "policy" nor
profitable for the Disputer to-blow its horn
- for secret and proscriptive' Leagues, and-de
nounce a 'Man because hetook a glass 'of
lag*. The conversion came later, and with
it, the denouncing:of Governor Geary -for,
committing. that crime. . ' , .. .
' - With 'the - Gernian"lteputliem *friends of
- the'Goventor it is a 'different matter. - Her
betrayed them when he gaytt.hlsAisiuranees
'that no proscriptive,..or-proltilitoryJaws
would getlds sanction. The readiness-with
which he broke this promise dud sigriedtheas
`,laws, and especially his late cease, when he
addressed a conventioh .of Good Templars in
-Harrisburg, saying,•_ that he -hathet drank .h
drop of spirituous beverage, since his seventh

ingformed against the secret lod., _

rights of all.• How prick atmosphere has li
man a right to have preserved in its purity
fir • Ids. user Theoretically the maxim is
"Ce(jus esl serum, ijus eel neque.aitioeluu);?!
Doubtless his right to pure air is coextensive
with his freehol d. Yet his remedy by action
either at law orb) equity would be restricted
to the redress or grievances affecting 'directly
and injuriously either his person or property.
Thus n- ' ful manufitetory tras enjoined be
eause'it m ated an effluvia destructive to the
oge on the complainant's land. Some
occupati ;and manufactories necessarily
comp; . e atmosphere. Several- -trades and
even a pt, pen have been j adicially declared
tinissneps per se within -the limits of Phila
delphia city,, Others are declared - so only
when, from.their location, they interfere with
the health or comfort of their neighbors.
These arc private: tinistincea, abatable only
by injunction at the eomplaint of private in
dividuals. • -
Phlctically, a man can only- maintain his
right to so much cirentnarnblent atmoaphme
as is necessarY.for his personallutalth and comfort, and the safety-or his property."
It Is often found very difficult to adjust the
rights'of adjacent owners and occupiers so as
to give to each his own without jostling the
other. EaCh has a ii"ht, to occupy his owe
territory as he thinks best,—to build what he
pleases, from a palace to a pigsty.
No occupation is mote legitimate - and 'no
erection more useful than that of a flouring
mill. There can be no denial of the owner's
right to band one and to'run it by steam. So
of any other manuflichtring establishment.
They May not be agreeable to his next neigh
bor. He is not bound to consult .the taste,
*astir° orpreference of otherk But' he is
bound to respect his neighbor's rights. The
inflexible rule, gi die -were. two sit dienuin non
&ado,'" stares him In the face. True, sonic,
thin"-mist 'be conceded to the manufacturer.
Ills business islegitimate. • The public have
an Interest in his productions. The adjacent
palace-owner mast forer,w his personal pre
cielietions for more fashionable neighbors or
agreeable occupationsitrhis vicinage. Things
merely disagreeable must be borne. But none
of his elementary .rights niust be invaded.
However offensive to his sight or taste the
pig sty orlione boiling may be, it is damnurn
abnue injuria. lie is remedilei..s. He must
avoid l
-lookingi tint-way.
But whenever his right to the enjoyment
of good health, pure air and tvaterVandtwel
emption from unreasonable noises at unrea
sonable hours; is interrupted, then the law
will bear and heed the complaint. • •
While mills and manufiictories are legal
and-necessary, it is neither legal nertneeessa
ry that they be so located as to interfere with
the rights of others in the enjoyment of their
possessions. • -
When, therefore, they create noises that
prevent sleep, or taint the atmosphere with
vapors prejudicial to health or nauseous to
the smell, or till it with a smudge that de
preciates its use for every purpose, they
taench owthe rights of those affected there
by.
Just here is where the line omit be drawn.
At this point they become nuisances. The
difficulty exlsts•in the loCation of this line:
When once ascertained, no lawyer doubts as
to the rights and remedies of the parties.
Both private and public interests may suffer:
Saoh are the necessities of our social OrgalliZa•
don. The rights of private property must be
protected, This principle lies at the founda
tion of our civil institutions.
As to what constitutes a private nuisance,
we hare, perhaps, as good a definitioa as else
where, in Adams Equity, page 210:
." A private nuisance is an act done, unac
eompanied by. an act of trespass, which caus
es a substantial prejudice to• the heredita
meats, corporeal or incoirreal, of another,",
for remedy of which, as is stated in the next
page, ". there is a jurisdiction in equity to en
join, if the factof Ix: admitted •or
established, whenever the nature of the inju-
ry,is such that it cannot be adequately com
pensated by damagr or will:occaSion a con
stantly reclining grievance."
Ire Catlin vs Valentie, 9, page 575, Chan
cellor Walworth says. " To constitute'a nui
sance it is not neces.44 that the milting
trade or business should endanger the health
of the 'neighborhood. It is sufficient ifit pro
duces that Which Is offensive to ;the seines
and which renders the' enjoyment of life or'
property uncomfortable?' 'Bee also Brady vs.

Galbraith's family, who states, "The smoke
came in such qttantilles 6.3:toicooloqt its to
.close the windows and doors, to give us a
cough, and event() strangle the children in
the yard. The sOot would collect on our
plates at dinner, blacken the furniture, pre
vent our hanging oat our washed clothes,
would so settle on antlidacken'the grass in
the yard that we could. not walk on It or the
children play on it withoutgetting blackened
by it."
This, with some other corroborating testi
mony and omitting much of the details, is. a
brief of the 'evidence offered to sustain the
complainant's bill. It comes from witnesses
known to the Court and community , as per
sons of high standing, superior intelligence,
with the best opportunities of' knowing the
facts about which they testify, and beyond all
suspicion of untruthfulness or want of can
dor. ' - •
The evidence on the part of the respond
ents tends to disprove the frequency of the
nuisance complained of, aralof the. preva
lence of westerly and north-westerly winds ;
that improvements -had been made calculated
to diminish the volume pt smoke emitted
from the mill chimney, the value of the mill
to themselves and, the community, the length
of time it had been tolerated without com
plaint, and the airsence -of-any riepreciating
effect it had upon the value of the surround
ing property., The personal annoyance in
flicted by the Smoke upon the complainants,'
when it by
envelope them, is not contro
verted or disproved.
Is its continuance consistent with their.
.ristit to eujoythe-common. blessing of pure
air to breathe and live in? Does Its existence
airing admitted periods interfere with.their
enjoyment- a upa o n
of
g. cy of their i h ti (tu. " se; a ih n ( l l l ir pr eci em ln i f se ort s ;
It can hardly be claimed that -the evidence
leaves any room for doubt or speculation on
that subject, , - , .
The peculiar situation of the mill, its lees
cation on low ground, its low chimney, its
north-westerly direction and close proximity
to the. residence; of the complainants, are
the circumstances that render it so peculiarly
obnoxious. .
Some discOmforts must. be endured as com
pensation for"the conveniences *Ot city life.
No public interest deserves protection and
encouragement more thatfmanufacturing in
dustry. I yield to none in my friendship for
productive labor or in contempt for the snob
ery that undervalues it. When the world gets
too populous to-accomintxrate all it willbe
time enough to consider the question of pref
erence; At present the law awards to all
hequally their rights of person and property.
Yielding to this rule of equal rights I cannot
find authority in law for saying a thing which
fills the atmosphere that others have a right to
live in with•smoke and offenkiviodors, stifles
the breath. produres nausea and headache,
drives children from their playgrounds and
men from their gardens, prevents the drying
of clothes and the ventilation lof houses,
darkens the sunlight and converts pleasant
residences into prison houses in ddgdays, and
defiles carpets, curtains and dinner plates
with deposits of soot and dirt, is not a nui
sance, even though such results are but oc
casionaL •
The respondents have shown a commend
able disposition in their efforts to diminish
the evil. But little further sacrifice on their
partwill be necessary to remove it altozetli
er, or bring it within the rule of de minims
non enrol Lt.r. is not for us to prescribe
how it shall be done, whether by a change of
feel, the elevation of the chimney stack, the
application of machinery to condense the
smoke or by removal of the mill to a differ
ent locality.
. Our duty is perfenntxl by protecting the
complainants front annoyance and discomfort
in the enjoyment of their homesteads, when
the remedy-invoked is clearly within the pre
ventive jurisdiction of the Court.
For the reasons given, the bill of complain
ants is sustained and an injunction is award
cdforbidding the respondents, their agents,
seri , ants" and employees using bituminous
fuel in the throne of the engine' in the mill
referred to, when the wind is blowing from a
West or north-westerly direction, or so as to
carry thnsinolie and soot emitted from their
chimney over and upon the premises occu
pied by.the complainants, until such altera
tions are made us in the judgment of the
Court will render its use innoxions, and, de

PARIS EXPOSITION, 1867
Advises Just irceivett by matt, enable us to
announce positively that the only gold medal
for American sewing machines was awarded to
Elias Howe, Jr., as the manufacturerof the best
sewing nutchine that was exhibited. There were
eighty-two different machines In competition
for the prize, and Mr : Howe received the addi
tional award of the cross of the Legion of Hon
or, as manufacturer and inventor. The exact
wording of the award is minnow*:
HOWE 11.4.C1fINE. WHEEL Ell &WILSON.
.. .
Co-operateris Elias "Wheeler & Wilson,
Howe, Jr.,promoteur de pour la machine a boo.
to marldne a-coadre.—itontdere. Modalll e

The official Hsi of those, Who 'Were 'Made
Knights of the Legion of Floncir, allpubllskedin
the Paris papers, reads thus: "Mons. 1.1.t.ts
Howl, Jr., fahricant de machines a•condre, ex
posant which, translated Into English, reads:
" Mr. Elias Howe. Jr.. maker of sewing Ma
chines, exhibiting."
- -Front this it will he seen that the medal
