I cannot understand why i should not i<e the tauie an for any other HoUtioo of chartered rights or duties; but if a floe is Imposed it should be made larger iu amount then it is at pro-eat." To which the present im:uM.b;nt gives his assent, and 1 farther oh**> ves, "that author! ly should be conferred on the State Engtueer to inquire into the accuracy of tbe re turns made whenever they appear to be er-ouous." It is of tire greatest importaneu to the people of the State that all fee'connected with the capacity and condition of our railroads and canals should ue furuitbed la all their details to the officer appointed to look after th ,-e departments, and the committee instead of roc ?[amend ing any hasty change iu the directing or euctroiliug by legislative enactment an internal so complicated a* that of the railroads, or in any way interfering w>th the police ?f such roads, as will divide the responsibility between the Lewis latu e and the companies It Is believed by tbe committee, that as the number of Toads throughout the State U steadily aad rapidly la Creasing, it is quite necessary that a careful suiwrvi-lira of them should be undertaken by the State, in order that all Interests of all classes snail be protected. If it shall he deemed best by future legislatures to laorea-e still further the powers and duties of the State Engim-er, be yond those prescribed In the bill now submitted, it would be more. preferable in the opinion of yonr committee than to do so at present. By the laws ?t tbe United htatcs in relation to steamboat cap tains and others, it rut uir.es, iu case of several nvued accidents, that negligence or eorele.-.-uesH must have been the cause of the same and not imposing upon the olain tiff In any suit to prave the cauro ot the accident by which he or the perron he repreceo's has been Injured. So wholesome a provision the committee desire to nee in corporated iu the law, and believe tbat its efTut would be highly ; alu sry, while It does not preclude the defence from showing to what extent. if at all the plaintiff is in part or wholly culpable. There are various classes of ac cidents?accidents resulting from the ignorance or care k->nes*cf employes upon the road?ava nst whom there is no redreed It cften happens that, in these eases, no loss of Ufa occurs, although prop-triy to a large amount Is frequently destroyed, it is agiinst these acts of men. who. item idleness or t orne other motive, neglect their ? duty, that the public demands protection not less than the companies themselves. It is imperiously demanded, that men who assume positions and agree to the faithful performance of any duty, the neglect of said performance putting the lives of persons in jeopardy aud often de stroying them, should be mads to f?el in their o*-n >?r sons the cor sequences of their negleot. It is not requir ing too much to sty, that a bridge keeper who should ne glect bU signals when tbe draw is open?o switciiran who forgeti to adjust the switches pronerly ?the con ductor who stai ts his train on its journey without fi-Ht having the usual and necessary apparatus, signals lan terns, Ac., in order for us*?the inspecior of engine-, and cers, who should place improper engines and cars upon the rosd when unlit for the -ervice required?the engi neer who. instead of attending to bis duty, is reading a newspaper, or chatting tomme companion noon the en gine, or any otber employo of any suoh company, whose neglect te perform, by any cau-e, tho duty of his station, thereby ?ndaugers the life of any individual?such a one should, in tho opinion of your c ir.mitue. be adjudged as guilty of a misdemeanor, and subject and liable to such fines and penalties as his carsiessnsss, negligence, or drunkenness merits, and should be punished accordingly, without waiting for the saciUice.a of humau life as a ne cessary requisite to give efficacy to the enforcement aud currying out of wholesome aad salutary lawip It is duo to the directors of those c mipsuies who 19 po lice regulations have been placed in the possession of tbe coDuoit.te, to say of the.n that in all thsir details they appear to Is- most admirably adapted to the purposes de signed, ?>-d that it it tot, in their judgment, possible for any set of persons not engaged in tlie daily uso. anl well acquainted with the entire system of raifr ad manage ment, to hvtt->r tbo same by alteration Tbey mote vor believe that the strict observance of said rules would bo a great pmervative of human life. Without, theref ore, aitermg, or even attempting to al cr tbe same they sug gest that there apparently wi?e and care ully drawn rules of the eompanie may be regarded in tho light of l.twa; the infraction of which shall impo-e ,-uch punl-hment upon the oiTvnders as will make others more lier,est and pru dent in the discharge of their duties, and tints add to the safotv of railroad travelling. The chiof object or die p- e aent law is. bow the safety of the individual may no best secured. It may be wtll to examine i.ume of Hie facts connected witb disasters upon railroads, and see if by lur the larger portior of tbttn oave n it beeu -ho rotult of ihe individual's own carslessuess. By the ivport of the State Engineer for lfeM, we leato that tee whole uuaioer ot per sous convey in) mthe cas of twenty nine railroads in th's State amounted to 7 -140,66,'J; tie miles truvollsd 34fi C6i,646. Toe average d<stance thai each pvsstnger tra yelicd was a fract'on over forty-six 'Uilss. The whole number ?.f p.t--?eugers ki'Io.l was tw?oty-six; injured, eighty-two; euiployei killed, sixty, einoloyes injuted, oighty-niuo. oiher per?ona then passo igers snd employes killed, seventy fix; other peoocstbuu pas oc gerA and au'ployes injured, niuety lour?making a grand total of It>2 killed, and 2t56 wnuuded By a morectr-ful examination into the peculiar esukes proCucicq death, we find tbat feiecty six o. the whole cumoer were ki.lvd by being upon the track, twenty Wy falliog between ibe oars while In motion or thrown Honi tl em; and eighteen lost their lives whilo atteuip'.iog to get upon tbe csr?, the same br eg In inotioD. There reiuain but forty eight othirs for all the other accidents by the c-.llifi ins of trsias, cullistons willi wagons, anil trains thrown 01T the track, Ac. The groat disparity betseen tbe number of employes and others ki led or wouniad. to th it of passen gers, muf t he evident to all, while tbe number of the bit ter is much d'mlnished, if ve subtract f*oin the gross nuiDOer of passengers killed, those kil'ed by leaving their (cats when tho cars we-o in motion. It ia not the desinn of the committee to ex-marato the cum panics from any blame that justly attaches hi them. Neither, on the other bind, to censure them for the wilful carelessness of ll.yie unfortunate per sons, whether pas ergers or others whose cruni i.l negli Sence was the cause of thoir own misfortune We may, owever, safely assume, thst In mo.-t of the cases of per noni run over while upon the track, they, it la presumed, ?were the most blameuble. A c impari-on of the doatbs upon railroads, both in Europe and in 'his c niotry coo firms the tiuth that by far t.e giaaUr portloa is the re Bult ol tbe individual's own wsnt of con tlon?some acci doi ts by persona being run over by the driving of one train at a reckless, or at least careless, rate of speed past another train when tho same is receiving or discharging its pas.- -ngor at tume station. AH said c-.inpdi ;es should oompel all passengers to ?nter and lea - 0 the cars at all ti nes from the side cor responding to the exterior rail of the trsok. and to see that no train left auy rtbtion when ati.thnr is roc str ing or discha.-ging passengers, until time U given far tbe Ignorant and inconsiuer.ite to be beyond the reach of harm. It (houM be the duty of every company to take nil the precaution that can be secured; and the persons whoi* duty it is to warn passengers to kesp clear of the track, should do their duty in a less slovenly aud careless manner than it la now efton performed. The laws of tho State punish with great severity the individual who places upon anr railroad any obstruction designed to In jure or upset the engine or cere. This Isar nas far Is s regard to tho property injured than to tbe lives pat in jeopardy. The turpitude of the crime ia stiou that it is not of irequent occurverce, but we would ask if tbe per son who wantonly injures or attempts an injury u de serving of severe punishment, Is he not also guilty, woo carelessly perseveres in a course that often does, and w-ll continue lo, Injure property and dostroy life? In exarnlninj ths returns of ore company nadn tho led. jroar, It appears that at forty (iilisro/it urna i ihsv bad run oret sixty four hor?ea, ottfa. In-.; iu two 01 the** acni dents the oars warn thrown oif tho track and mue u pt oper tv;deatioyed; fortunately no lives were lost, although nine llmba were broken.

Tuorsuay, June 17.?At the assembling of the court this morning the trial of Bernard Hat an waj proeeudod yriib, and Judge Super, counsel for the prisoner, recalled one of the witnesses, who testified yesterday. Anue Bijtt&in, Moailed, testified that when she went into Bageii's apartment on the Sunday previous to bij wtte'p death, she ashed ho, how she became so disfigured, and she answered by a fail; witness asked he,- what she fell ou s"d the replied that the could not see nor ay. To the District Attorney?Thinks she said that he beat hor with a boot or shoe, could not tell which; was in the habit of beating his wife reyeateuly; I interfered twice in their quarrels; once, about throe mouths b-fero liar deatn , i.eyer saw Hagan undor'be influence of liquor more iliiin two or three times; the taHt luxe was on the Frid-iy evening previous; never saw her lutoxioated; wben I was in the room I saw spots of blood upon tho wall, but did not son any upon the ceiling; the blood marks aero apparently fre- h. To Mr. g.ipei?I was piceent at the coronor's investiga tion. but cannot now recollect what 1 said upon that oc casion. This concluled the evidence, and Mr. Seper summed up on tho part of the prisoner. He said there was no dispute ss to the death of Mrs. Hogin, but heoonlended that the injuries were inflicted upon her person without premedi tated design to destroy life. The only inferenco wh1. vli could be diawn from the evidence was that they had a quarrel, and a blow rniyh. hove been struck in the heat of passion. The testimony of the physician, ho, distinctly ptoved that the' sound was of a nature too blight to cause death, and his opinion -vai that she lied of concussion of the biain, produced by a combination of circuuistai ces. not the least o which wag, that the de crated bad been addicted to drinking, it wan likewise shown tret, tbo wound was not lr.flic.ed with aa Inatru inint which could be denominated a dangerous weapon, and 1 lieu-[ore tbf ro could have' been no in1.cn. to kill As to the exact article with which tho blow was struck, the evidence was some what ciir fliciug. It might have been either a boot or a shi-e. and it war po-ribie tnat alio died of the effects Oi a full troin 1hi bed. upon tlie floor. Toe counsel then weat {??to a detr.il.d review of ibe testimony,aud concluded his addio a by adverting lo thi good character the prisoner had always borne. ?i,d c< otecdod t'.at this fact nhoulu also have great weight vitL a ju:y.
