Responsibility of Judges.


Judge Pardee, of the United States
circuit court, has been very generally
commended for refusing TO grant the
application for a receiver of the consoh-
dated street railroad of Atlanta The
holders of 30 per cent of the bonds had
agreed upon a plan of reorganization.
The holders of the balance of the bonds
would not agree to the plan, and applied
for receiver. The result of a receiver
ship would, in all probability, have been
the wrecking of the property and heavy
loss to the owners of it.
1t would be fortunate thing for the
country if all judges had as high appre-
citation Of their responsibilities as Judge
Pardee, and were guided by the same
high sense of justice and right as he dis
played in the Atlanta case. Too many
Of them, for the purpose OF show
ing their immense power, apparently,
practically assist in wrecking great prop
critics by putting them in the hands of
receivers on application of those who have
only small interest in them, or who may
be acting under the instructions of others
who are DESTROYS of wrecking the proper.
ties to advance schemes of their own.
There are cases in which it is necessary
that receivers should be appointed, but
in such cases receivers are asked for by
those most deeply concerned in the prop
critics that are in trouble The applica-
tion for receiver of property by some
one having very little interest at stake,
should arouse the suspicion of the Judge
to which the application ismade. Before
acting upon the application, means should
be taken TO discover whether the inter
ests Of the ma GRITTY of those owning the
property would be protected or injured by
a receiyership.
There is another abuse connected with
the courts to which the attention of the
public is being called. 1t is the enormous
fees allowed to referees and masters, and,
in certain cases, to lawyers. These fees
amount almost to denial of Justice, be-
cause people prefer to be deprived of their
rights rather than to pay more than they
could collect by going into court,
In New York, a day or two ago, in
mechanics lien suit for S13S, the referee
brought in bill for $3.50, and, strange to
say, the lawyers in the case made no OBJ
lection to it. Judges who fail to protect
litigants from such exorbitant charges
fail in doing their duty.

BANDS seigniorage Bill.

1t looks very much as if Secretary Car
Isle had agreed to the coinage of the
seigniorage of the silver bullion in the
treasury, upon the condition that he shall
be allowed to use his Judgment as to the
time within which the seigniorage shall
be coined and certificates issued against
it. 1t is understood that the secretary
holds that it would be as hurtful to issue
the whole amount of the certificates at
once as it would be to suddenly withdraw
a very large amount of money from circu-
lation.
The Bland bill provides that certifi-
Gates for the whole amount of the seign-
forage shall be issued at once The
seigniorage is estimated to be $50, 1856, 6Sl.
AS matter of fact, however, the silver
bullion in the treasury is not worth as
much as the government paid for it by
about $4,000, 900. 1t is sufficient, how
ever, to make ISL, 9l4 1861 silver dollars.
It is to be regretted that the silver
question has been thrust upon the atten-
ton of the country again at this
time. The price of silver is steadily
falling. 1t was sold in New
York on Thursday at Ga cents an ounce,
at which price the bullion value ola silver
dollar is only about so cents However,
the question of free silver coinage having
been settled at the extra session of con
gress, the proposition to issue $50, 600 900
in silver certificates causes no alarm.
But if the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man silver act had not been repealed such
proposition would produce a vastly
greater money panic than that from which
the country suffered last summer.
1t is well understood, of course, that
the S55,0O0,00O of silver certificates, if
they should be issued, would be fat money.
There would be no value behind them, be-
cause the treasury notes issued against
the bullion, and now outstanding, are
much greater in amount than the market
value Of the bullion.
II is source of satisfaction that no
more silver dollars are to be put into cir
culation The people won't accept all Of
those already outside of the treasury.
The banks in this city, for instance, can't
get rid Of their silver dollars, and have 10
send them back 10 the national treasury
at considera Die expense.

estate at tower 100000 real and over
500, 200 personal" That however. does
not mean that he left only 5000. 900. He
owned one-third of the most profitable
newspaper in one of the eight largest
cities in the world, the Philadelphia
Ledger. 1t is said, on what is believed
to be good authority, that during the last
ten years the Ledger has earned, net.
about $500, 900 a year. or more than $1,000
day II is said that Mr. Childs' one
third interest in the Ledger is worth
$4,000 and persons who are supposed TO
know, variously estimate the total value
OF the estate at all the way from 81 ,O50,-
600 70 100000. Heretofore II has been
estimated that he was worth from s.. OOO,-
