Progress of the MisslssIppi valley.

New Orleans I1mes-D democrat.
Capt. John Grant, the chief engineer OF
the New Orleans and Mississippi Valley
railroad, returned yesterday from a visit to
the different contractors camps along the
line of the road. "The work." said Capt.
Grant in reply to the reporters question, sis
getting along nicely. A squad Of men are
now at work building the road southward
from Memphis, and another squad working
southwark from Vicksburg TO Blton Rouge.
The squads average about 500 men each,
and each contract is for about so miles OF
road, hence the construction is progressing
rapidly, and under very favorable circum-
stances. The contract for the foundation of
the bridge across the Yazoo river mas been
let This will be quite a difficult piece of
work, as piles will have 10 be driven 10
depth Of 40 feet below the surface of the
rivers bed. The piers from top to bottom
will be 40 feet in length, and SO feet of the
40 will be solid masonry. The contract for
building the bridge proper will not be let
for several weeks, owing TO thefact that the
bids have been sent on 10 New York TO be
acted upon by Mr.. Wilson, the president of
the road"
'De you think it will be possible to finish
such difficult piece OF work by the lst OF
Februsry?"
ayes; / think the bridge will be up by
that time, for the reason that we will work
night aud day. At present we are using
every effort TO secure subscriptions enough TO
close the Bonnet Care crevasse. The action
of the governor in refusing to act in harmony
with the resolutions adopted by the Council
caused some surprise, but has not dIscour-
aged us. If the necessary amount of money
is not subscribed this year, the management
OF the road will bridge the crevasse, ss it is
not to the interest of the company to lose any
further time on account OF this matter. If
the money is obtained the crevasse will be
closed by building new levee three miles in
length some distance 20 the rear of the line
OF the old levee."

Indiana Supreme Court Decision.

INDIANA supreme court DECISION.
Charles Carter Us. Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago Railway Company. The COM
plant OF the appellant averred that while
the servants OF the appellee were operating
engine upon sidetrack of appellee, APP
pellant, with the knowledge and without OBJ
lection OF said servants, got upon the engine
In front, under the headlight; that said
servants put the engine in motion, and,
while it was running at speed which made
it unsafe for him to get off, one OF said EN-
ployes ordered him to get off, and upon his
refusal 10 do so until the engine was stopped,
pushed him off; that he fell upon the track
and said engine ran over hIs leg, etc. De-
murrers were sustained TO the several para
graphs OF the complaint. Held: Appellant
was guilty of negligence in going on the en-
CINE where be did, and the failure CT the
employees of the railroad to object TO
his act did not excuse or justify
it. (22 Barb, 81. Bat, though
wrongfully upon the engine, appellant
did not assume the risk caused by the con-
duct of the employees. He only assumed the
risks incident TO his own wrong. The act OF
pushing appellant off the engine was the
proximate cause Of the injury, and there
was an aggressive act OF appeIlee's servant.
Appellants wrong WAS not proximate TO the
injury so az TO preclude his right to recover.
(See Wharf, Neg section 345, and notes IL
Allen, 40; IA How, 468; SO Ind, 116) The
act of the servant was closely within the
scope OF his employment. Those operating
an engine undoubtedly have the right to re-
move from It any thing or person whose pres
ence on il might in any way interfere with
its use. Such authority is necessary to ena-
BILE the servant TO transact the business Of
the master. (62 Ind, 566; Ga N. Y, 129; 81
3D., 1856 The complaint was good. Judg-
ment reversed

LAW VS.. CoMMoN-sENsE.
To the Editor of TnE REPUBLICAN,

To the Editor of TnE REPUBLICAN;
One of Judge COx's rulings In the case OF Gui-
teau is as follows: "If the jury entertain rea-
sOnabe doubt" as to whether, at the time OF the
commission, he was in sane state Of mind they
must acquit him. II this Is good law II certainly
Is not good sense. II is true that the law in the
case Of murders gives the accused the benefit of
all reasonable doubts, because It Is so dreadful
thing to hang the wrong man. But in this case,
so far as the killing Is concerned, there are no
doubts, reasonable or unreasonable. The prisoner
admits that he did the killing, but claims that he
ought not to be hung for IT, because at the time
lie was crazy, well Common-se replies,
"all right. We don't hang crazy people, and n
you can show that you were really deranged and
didn't know what you were about you should
be set free. You must, however, make out your
case aud not palm OF preienses aud doubts for
proof But Judge Cox steps In and tells him that
he need not make out his case; that IL will be
quite sufficient IL he half proves II and raises
reasonable doubts. Surely tho accused should be
made 10 show the condition of his mind beyond
all doubt. We do not hang people simply 10 tor
ture them, hut that they may be warning TO
others, aud thus protect society against similar
crimes. Aud the very hest use that can be made
of life like that Of Guteau Is TO make II such a
warning, IL our people are satisfied that he Is
really crazy the forfeiture of his life would be no
warning. But unless II can be made out some
what more certainly than il indicated by a reason
able doubt society will be the gamer by allowing
him to swing. s. q. A,

"INsIpE POINTS" ON GuITEAy.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,;
One of the hest lady mediums OF the country
visited the Guiteau trial few days ago She was
atterward controlled, and gave such inside points
on the assassin as the lawyers and experts have
been quarreling over for the last ten weeks, This
summing and conclusion is this
Guitenu IL o fanatic, both in temperament and
organization, OF an extreme type, and the victim
of a false religious education That is his primary
condition.
Guiteau is an egoiist of an. extreme type also.
First aud last he considers his own eegrahdlhs-
ment. That Is his primary motive power, with
such groundwork of tanaticism and egotism is
was natural for him to bloom out into a latter
ouIrEAu is NOT INSANE.
The act OF killing the President was purely his
own act, IN his Wild, fanaticsl way OF reasoning
he worked himself up to the belief that it would
be for the public good, and that in the end he
would be held up as the great man Of his time.
He had some trouble IN bringing his "Rerye" up
vate and public good TO follow was sufficient cR'
ouse
motive power IN the s stages Of the case, but not
a controlling element otlerWard.
He thought little of the consequences 10 the
fcring any length of time, He gave two shots to
His Inspiration" theory, Or divins, pressure"
excuse, was mainly an amer thought He believes
himself ono Of the Lords chosen iow that h0
must needs act the Lords win, that therefore
there couldn't be any mistake about this
killing business He knew though. that the aoi
was enormous in the eyes of the law, but he
couldn't see II In the light of great crime, bo'
cause II was oYershadowed by supposed greater
