* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
114 U.S. 338
Moore v. Greenhow
The plaintiff in error filed his petition on April 26, 1884, in the circuit court of the city of Richmond, against Greenhow, the defendant, as treasurer of the city of Richmond, praying for a rule nisi, commanding the said Greenhow to show cause why a peremptory mandamus should not be awarded to the plaintiff, commanding the said treasurer to issue to the petitioner a certificate in writing, stating that he had made the deposit required by law in payment of his license tax, was a sample merchant in said city. The petition set forth that the tender made in payment of this deposit consisted of coupons cut from bonds issued by the state of Virginia, and, by contract with the state therein declared, receivable in payment of all taxes, debts, demands, and dues to the state, and that the tender was refused by the treasurer, and a certificate of deposit withheld, because the 112th section of an act of the general assembly of Virginia, approved March 15, 1884, for the purpose of assessing taxes on persons, property, and incomes and licenses, requires that all license taxes shall be paid in gold or silver coin, United States treasury notes, or national bank-notes, and not in coupons; and another act of the general assembly of the state, approved March 7, 1884, to regulate the granting of licenses, likewise forbids the payment of license taxes in coupons. The alternative writ prayed for was denied by the circuit court of the city of Richmond, and, on a petition for a writ of error, its judgment dismissing the petition therefor was affirmed by the supreme court of appeals of the state. This being a case in which, by mandamus, the plaintiff in error seeks to compel the officers of the state of Virginia specifically to receive coupons instead of money in payment of license taxes, it comes within the exact terms of the decision of a majority of this court in Antoni v. Greenhow, 107 U.S. 769, S.C.. 2 SUP. CT. REP. 91, according to which the plaintiff in error is remitted to the remedy provided by the act of January 14, 1882, entitled 'An act to prevent frauds upon the common wealth and the holders of her securities in the collection and disbursement of revenues.'
The judgment of the supreme court of appeals of Virginia is therefore affirmed.
FIELD and HARLAN, JJ., adhere to the views expressed in their dissenting opinions in Antoni v. Greenhow, but they agree that the principles announced by the majority in that case, if applied to the present case, require an affirmance of the judgment below.

# Men of the Time, eleventh edition/Burmeister, Hermann

Layout 2
​BURMEISTER, Hermann, naturalist, was born at Stralsund, Prussia, Jan. 15, 1807. While a student of medicine at Halle, he was encouraged by Professor Nitzch to study zoology, and particularly entomology. Becoming a doctor in 1829, he made his first appearance as an author in the domain of natural history, with a "Treatise on Natural History," published at Halle in 1830. On the death of Professor Nitzch, in 1842, he succeeded him in the chair of zoology in the University of Halle. He has written numerous articles on zoological subjects in the scientific journals of Germany; several monographs in a distinct form, such as "The Natural History of the Calandra Species," published in 1837, and a "Manual of Entomology." Professor Burmeister has occupied himself in disseminating correct notions of geology among the educated classes; and with this view delivered a series of lectures, which were well attended. They were collected and published in two works, "The History of Creation," Leipsic, 1843, and "Geological Pictures of the History of the Earth and its Inhabitants," 1851, both of which were well received. During the revolutionary fervour of 1848, Professor Burmeister was sent by the city of Halle as Deputy to the National Assembly, and subsequently by the town of Leignitz to the first Prussian Chamber. He took his place on the Left, and remained until the end of the session, when, on account of failing health, he was obliged to demand leave of absence, which he turned to account by two years' travel in the Brazils, and he published "The Animals of the Brazils," 1854–56. On his return to Europe he resumed his post in the University of Halle. In 1861 he resigned his chair and repaired to Buenos Ayres, where he became Director of the Museum of Natural History founded by himself, and in 1870 Curator of the newly established University of Cordova.
