CITY SEWERS.
a Case in Which the Chaneery
Court Could Not Interfere.

Below we give the points of a de-
cision by the supreme courtin the case
of Horton and wife VS.. the mayor and
city council of Nashville:
A bill was filed in the chancery
court by compliments against the city
to compel the corporate authorities to
build a public sewer from the corner
Of Broad and Summer streets to the
Cumberland river, at an estimate cost
ofS9000, and also to recover $1,000 as
damages for injuries to plaintiffs
property, caused by the bursting of a
sewer, the overflow Of tie cellars and
the destruction of merchandise. The
court held that the duty of draining
the streets aud avenues OF a city or
village is one requiring the exercise of
d~eliberation, Judgment and discretion.
1t cannot, in the nature of things, be
so executed that in every single mo,
ment every square foot Of the surface
shall be perfectly protected against
the consequences Of water falling from
the clouds upon it. Such work adj.
mits of a choice OF means, and the de-
termination Of the order oftime IN
which improvements shall be made
1t involves also a variety of pruden-
tial considerations relating to the bur
dens which may be discreetly imposed
at a given time, etc. If the owner of
property may prosecute the corpora
ton on the ground that sufficient sew
erage has not been provided for the
premises, all these questions may be
determined hv . jury and thus the
judgment which the law has commit
ted to the city council. or to an adj
ministrative board, will have to be
exercised by the judicial tribunals.
No authority has been produced tend
Jag to show the court of chancery has
ever undertaken to compel a munici
pal corporation to construct n sewer
in a particular direction or of speci-
fed dimensions.
The bill was dismissed with costs.

Facts About the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad.

Nashville American.
HUNTSVILLE, ALA, March 9.-The
rise in Memphis and Charleston rail-
road stock has created a good deal of
excitement in our community, as a
large number Of shares are held by
parties in this city and the surrounds
ing country. IL seems to be the gen.
eral impression that the stock will
reach a still higher figure. A few
facts e.ated to me, this evening, BY a
gentleman well versed in railroad and
financial affairs will doubtless give
some insight into the cause of che
remarkable activity in-this stock. The
road from Memphis to Stevenson,
Alabama, is 272 miles in length, with
branches as follows; From Memphis
depot to the Mississippi depot, / mile;
Louisville branch, Ia miles Florence
branch, 5 miles, making a total OF
292 miles. The funded debt Of the
road is $4,z22,000 floating debt. none,
capital stock, $5,3l2,000. Suppose the
capital stock to be gobbled up at "a
cents on the dollar, OF for 50, i24,8GO
add to this the funded seven per cent
debt Of 4,222,000 and you have for
the sum Of S6,346,800 a road in good
running order 292 miles long, which
passes through one of the most pro.
ductiye countries in the south, and
which connects with a net work 81
railroads north, south, east and west.
The receipts Of the road for the
months Of November and December.
1879, and January and February, 1880.
