Cattle on Railroads.

The supreme Court Of Minnesota has
rendered the following decision, which is
of some importance to parties concerned:
A railroad company which has failed to fence
it's road as required to do by statue must run it's
trains upon the basis, that cattle rightfully npon
adjoining lands may stray upon the track on &C
count Of the absence of a fence. The adjoining
land owner is not to be deprived of the use Of
his land by the failure of the company to fence,
and in using the same he has right to expect
this course of conduct on the part of the COM
pany. Whether in exercising his right to use
bis Land, the land owner has been guilty Of neg
ordinarily question of fact for jury, to be
determined with reference to all the circum-
stances Of the case, and the duty of the company
as above indicated Merely suffering his cattle
to Craze upon his land or to go to spring
thereon, in broad daylight, is not such negi-
gence on the part Of the land owner in law,
Notwithstanding the company's road is I'M
fenced, and notwithstanding there is another
railroad within few hundred feet.

The presidential electors of Minnesota
consisting of Joseph A. Thatcher Of Good
hue county, L. G. Nelson of Kasson, ]. T
Williams of Mankato, William Schimmel OF
st. Peter, and Knute Nelson of Alexandria,
met at the State capitol in St. Paul, on
Wednesday last, and cast their votes in due
form for James A. Garfield for president,
and Chester A. Arthur, for vice president.
The electors by unanimous vote, elected
Hon. Joseph A. Thatcher, Of Goodhue
county, as messenger to carry the official
report and deliver it in person to the vice
president of the United States at Washing
ton. J. T. Williams was appointed as GUS
todian OF the returns to be deposited, one
in the postoffice in St. Paul, directed to the
vice president, and the other to be handed
to the United States judge at St. Paul. The
electors Of all the other States, with the ex-
ception of Georgia, also met and cast thei1
votes, according to law and in accordance
with the popular vote. The Georgia vote is
possibly lost to Hancock and English, fol
non compliance with law. The statutes Of
the United States provide, in section 1876,
that the electoral colleges Of the several
States shall meet on the first Wednesday OF
December and cast their votes. The Geor-
gia code provides that the governor shall
notify the electors to meet at the capital on
the first Monday of December, to be ready
on the Monday following to cast their votes.
This the governor has done, but the electors
did not meet, and it is thought by leading
officials and lawyers that they have no right
to meet and vote next week Wednesday.

A moment later the smile became trans
