THE Nel1 York Herald lauds the ac-
ton Of Judge Knapp, of Jersey City,
IN refusing to debar the jurors in a re-
cent murder trial from reading the
newspapers as wise and will meet
with general appreciation. If a juror
can be trusted to decides case intelH-
gently and conscientiously he can be
trusted to read the newspapers, even
though they should contain comments
on the trial. 1t is time the narrow
view of this matter usually held by the
courts should give way to common
sense.

THE McMinnUille Nelg Era says of
the growing corn crop In Warren, De-
Kalb, White, Van Buren,, Grundy,
Coffee and Cannon counties, that as
the dry weather IN June enabled the
farmers to put their crops in the best
possible condition, and the rains of the
present month found the crop clean Of
weeds and the ground IN the best pos
sible condition to receive the rainfall,
promise is given Of the heaviest yield
since 1855.

LIABILITIES OF RAILROADS AS
COMMON CARRIERS


In the case Of the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad Company vs.. John T,
Sayers, on an appeal from a Judgment
obtained in the Circuit Court Of Wythe
by Sayers against the Company, for a
lot Of cattle lost by an accident, in be-
ing transported in the company's cars.
lately decided by the Court of Appeals
at Wytheyile, Va, Judge Christian
delivering the opinion Of the court, af-
ter reviewing the American and
English cases says: From this review
of the American and English de-
cisiOns, l am constrained to
conclude that the great weight
Of authority is In favor of declar-
ing that the salutary rule of law and
public policy, which forbids a common
carrier from e1empting himself from
liability by express contract or other
wisefor his own negligence, whether
gross or ordinary, should he firmly adj
hered to and maintained by the courts
of this State"
This, says the LynchBurg NelOs, set
ties a very important principle in re-
gard to the liability of railroad CON-
panies in Virginia, though the judg-
ment was reversed and sent back for a
new trial, because IN the court below
the declarations of a negro brakeman
and section master, made at a differ
ent times were received In evidence, the
Court of Appeals holding that they did
not constitute part of the res gestae.

OFFICE NEW ORLEANS BULLETIN, |
Wednesday Evening, Sept. l, 1876.

The commercial year opens with moderate
demand for Money at most Of the banks, one
or two of which, however, report a very fair
business in discounts On the street good
paper is in demand, but offerings are lin.
tied.
We notice better and more hopeful feeling
among our commercial friends, who appear to
regard the prospect as encouraging.
The movement in Gold and Exchange was
light to-day, while the Stock market con-
tinued stagnant, and we learned Of only one
sale in bonds.
New State Consols are quiet at about pre-
vious rates, and City Bonds are steady.
We continue to quote frst-class CONNER
cial paper and collateral loans at sos p
cent per annum discount. Al do at 10@12, and
second grade at 15@l8. First-class mort
cages rule at sos fs cent per annum. Sec
ond grade are entirely nominal
Gold opened at l13s@l144, against 114s at
New York, and after limited business closed
at 1132@114, against ia in that market.
The sales were confined to $12 900, compris-
ing $1,000 at 1874, $1,000 at 113s. $1,000 at
113a, $4,000 and $1,000 at ia, $4,000 at LAG

No sales of Silver were reported. American
half dollars are still quoted at 1065@l079,
and Mexican dollars at 941 @95 gold.
Under the decline in gold at New York
sterling was 40 79 cent lower, and francs
fully /. The only sale of sterling reported
was $1,000 bank, at the counter, at 4.56a.
Nothing transpired in francs.
+. At the close sterling bills were quoted at
55O@5.5 81 for bill of lading and Al clear, and
nominal for bank, and francs at 4.58s "a 574
for commercial, and $50 for bank.
New York sight continues dull and I'M
changed. The sales comprised $4,000 COM
mercial and $4,000 private bankers at 9 80
79 cent premium, and $4,000 three days sight
at /.
The banks continue to check on New York
at ( fP cent premium, and commercial sight
is still quoted at -@516.
No sales of Stocks were reported.
Both City Bonds and New State Consols
are quiet and steady. No transactions were
reported.
Nothing was reported in Metropolitan
Police Warrants; they are still quoted at
