The Right to Kill an Assailant Established
 by Court

by Court.
 AN IMPORTANT DECISION IN THE KEN TUCKY COURT OF APPEALs:-M Meredith vs. Commonwealth. From the Grayson Circuit Court. This is an appeal from judgment sentencing appellant to two years confinement ln the penitentiary for killing one Ireland
 The material question in the case is the cor rectness of the following instruction given in the Inferior court viz:
 IT the jury believe from the evidence that the defendant killed Ireland in selfdefense, they ought to find not guilty; and if Ireland assaulted the defendant and he had reasonable grounds to believe he was in danger of sustain ing great bodily harm, or the loss of his life from such assault, and, if necessary. to protect lie or person from great bodivhar he mieht Alii Ireland; If he had no safe means of escAp- ing. But If the defendant couId hqUe sotSly retreated from the danger, and by that means saved his life and person, he is not excusable for the killing of Ireiand"
 Judge Suites delivered the opinion of ths court
 Held-That the instruction is erroneous- ne Qualification in the latter part, excusus the homicide only upon the grouna that the appellant could not have safely r,treated and thereby avoided the danger to himself virtu- ally deprived him of reasonable exercise of hls own judgment .n determining what was necessary to be done for the protection of his person or life. This right belongs to every man, which must, however, be exercised at the peril of the party and subject to the revision of his peers. By the instruction the jury are sub stantally informed that, although from the conduct of Ireland and other circumstances, Meredith had reasonable grounds to believe. and did believe, that he coulI preserve his llfc or protect himself from great bodily harm only by killing his antagonist, yet he is mex cusable If he " coa2d have safely retreated and thereby saved his life and person from danger" The law allows in defense of a mans person and property such means as are necessary Iu the selection and use of the means, he must of necessity exercise his own judgment. It is done at his own peril, and if he goes beyond what IS necessary to accomplish the object, and thns viola .es the law, he must abide the con- sequences. In the exercise of this judgment he must act ratonaly. Whether an acttai necessity to kill existed or not, was a question to be decided by Meredith at the time. Though he may have erred in his judgment-though he "couH Aace syay retreated yet if he acted in good faith, and had reasonable grounds to believe that his only safety was to kill bis antagonist the law excuses him.

MEMPHIS AND THE CALIFORNIA RoUTE.- The Washington correspondent of the New York Times, says
 "The California Overland Mail question, after undergoing thorough consideration in the Cabinet, has been referred to the Postmaster General, who is not yet prepared to pronounce decision. The impression prevails, however, that the Southern route will be selected, con- mencing at Memphis, and continuing by way of Forts Smith, Donna Anna, and Fort Yuma. The object is to have the route through coun- try susceptible of easy settlement and which will not be interrupted by heavy snow. Some of the bidders desire to be heard before the Postmaster General before he shall finally dis pose of the question:
