I have been a “railroad man” for a gréat many years—have, as the expression goes, grown ' gray in the service. I am certain, however, in all my experience I never eaw aroad that was equal to the Valley Air Line, upon which I was, at the time of; the accident about -to be related, a brakeman. ; R The' engineer of our train —the Lightning Express—was one of the most rober, careful. thoughtful and industrious men that ever handled a throttle. He possessed more that the ordinary share of thoughtful pradence and, it was owing to Ihis' fact that so great a degree of good fortune. came 10 us. Ly SplE

A few moments before the: train started one moruing, Gardrer, the engineer, called me 1o _hisx cab = He appeared unugually downeast that morning, though at the beést he was by no means a gay fellow, ‘ - *Bob,’ said Gardner, afrera few rec ond’s talk, übout general marters, ‘Bob, I want you be very carcful to day. . 1 know you're a good fellow aund always do your dury well; but tod y [ want yon to stand to your broke every second ot the trip—not to leave itfor a moment, and When I rignal 1 want you to et them np ar you never did before, and prompily; too. T know vou will do it for me, won't you, ‘B('b,?r'( ¢ £ : .1 was too astounded to rpeak for a gecond, aud then T apked: . ‘Why, what under the sun iz the ‘matter with you, Gardper? ,Yon know the brikesiare ro nearly worn out that it is imporsible to séf/them up and youn know stoo—"" . ‘I know it all. Bob,.and that is the rearon why I want you to be careful. I am/going to try and make the time table.to day ; end, if possible, 1 will do so. I feel juet as though rome thing was aoing to bappcn,und T am more than half sorry that I promised ; but I'll do it .though. Now promiee, Bob. and off to your brakes.” ~ I promised, and tock my post, not a lirtte mysnfied at Gaiduer’s words, look= and ac iouns. :

We left the depot and went rattling over the iron. assengers looked at each other in surprise, and wondered what under the sun was the matter with the Valley—if ‘it had suddenly awakened from its long sleep, and now proposed to.be a railroad in earn: est. y E When the conductor came throngh the train and came along to me I asked: ‘What is the matter with Gardner this morning ?" : ‘O, was the reply, ‘he and the old man have had a blow out this morning. You see our trains never make connections -— passenger #glways lay over, and of course they growl. This morsing the old man called us into the office, and the whole thing was out. Gardner talked like a father to ‘them, and he grew excited, he said it was criminal running the road in the condition it was. He told the time table as made up wae fast even for a first-class road, and if we undertook to run it a fiigh'ful accident could not be avoided. When Garduner said it was criminal to run the road as it was Superintendent Brown was very hor. He fairly boiled over. He declared there wag_no better road in the'country, and that Gardoer was a coward and ought to go on the gravi] train, and if he didu’t make time he’d lave him there, too. The road was loring its businers,-and there had got to bea change. Browu also said that in Val ley Creek, where he liv. d, -he bad noticed that the train. had always lost time enongh there to lose its connections, Garduer replied to this that the cr ek there was a down grade, the bridge was unsafe, aud he was «»hlj)g‘t-d--to slack u for safety. More than this the track paesed thiongh the play ground of the Creck school, which was not fenced iu, and they could not go through at a rapid speed without danger to the chilgren., gt ‘

~ *Then Brown burst out with an oath, that if parents did not waut their children- run over they wmust keep tbgm off the track. It would be a good thing to run over one or two of them, as iv would: teach them a lesson. Of course he didn’t mean this, but he was ‘hot,” you see, and didn't know what he ditd say. He added that Garduoer’s family lived near the track, and that Gardner’s sole reason for slowing was to have a chat with them as he went through. This set Gardner’s anger on fire, and then and.there declared that he would make time, let the consequences be what they might, and if disaster happened Brown ‘must asrume the ' responsibility. - You see he is keeping his word, but the old fellow feels bad though = -~

We dashed over the frail iron at a frightful epead. You could almost bear the bars crackle as we went. The cars surged from east to west, forcing passengers to fairly cling to their seats. Not for a second did I leave my brake. We were nearly down to the Valley Creek on time. As we approachel the long stretch of down grade, 1

telt by the shaking that Gardner had slackened up, andgit the danger wag really too gredr, and then as it his promise had come fully upon hix mind had again opened his throttle. Down the valley we -went, our rapid speed gtartling rhe birds, the catile, and even the gtaid old forest trees into new and strange ideas. 1 grasped the brake firmly ; the eungine whixtled - and rcreamed, warning all to keep clear ofit. 1 held my breath, well knowg that if we left the track it would go to destruction. Suddeuly the whistle ceased, and theu there came three unearthly yells from it ; they pierced my ears arnd made them. ache. How I set up the ~brake, fur I knew ihere was danger’ ahead. 1 knew this when Gardher suddenly reversed his engine, The shuting off, the revereing nud brakes set up #o tight 1 feared the chaing would brake, did vot eeem to have the 'slightest effect upon the train. On.lon, it went at its dangerously rapid mrpeed. I etre¢tched my neck out as far as possible, clinging nervously to the railing.. 1 could sece that Brown was-at his poet, looking out as 1 did, and moving his hand energetically, while whistle and "bell were uviring their protest. What was the matter I could not conjecture, but was anxious to kxow. -

" Springing upon the rail, I made my way tq. the top of the car and the myatery. was revealed. There on’ the track was a sight that sent a thrill of horror through me, Only a few feet ahead of us on the 'track stood a mere’ child—unconscious of its danger—paralyzed so ‘that it could not move.— Just clear of the track lay a woman, evidently helplesk. Ilooked for Gardner to see what he was doing, ere [ cloged’ my eyes to shut out the horrible eight., The poor fellow had not been idle. Plaiuly secirg that he could wot; drive the child from the track, and that its compauion ;was helpless, he left his cab and climbed forward on the engiue, on to the extreme right of the caw-carcher, leaned over, and while eclinging with one hand, reached out with the orher. - There did not seem one chance in a million to save thé child—not one—but anxiety overcame horror, and I lovked, and shuddered as I looked — How my heart leaped into my very thiroat as 1 kaw the train da-h on. but gaw, as it did go, Gardner, with almost #u erhuman efforis, raise the child by the arm from the track and clasp it to hiz bosom. . © Pt : Then he sank down wpoeun the cowcatcher, faint and powerless. Hia fireman ¢lanibered out to his side, and vou may rest assured 1 was not long in getting to thei agsictance. - The unusual voige of the steam had bro't every persou in the village out to wit ness the sight, and as they reaiized it they ghouted " their joy until their throates must have been hoarse. The fireman and 1 clung to Garduer ; there was no need to hold the child. for rigid and helpless, Garduer held the livle one to his breast with an ir n grasp.— Very soon we crossed the hridge and orosted up the grade, where the train slowed, and finally made a full stop nearly ‘n front of Garduer's holise. - With “the help of the villagers we took by force the child from Garduver's arms, and carried the engineer into the bouse eund lasid him on the bed As he pavk down the little life in him seemed to come back, and he whisper: pered : ‘whose child is it ' " ‘Superintendent Brown'’s. eaid . a neighbor, to'my astonishment. . ‘ls it alive'?” gasped Gardper, ‘lt is alive and we'l—thanks to your bravery,” I aunswered, and Gardner sapk back upon his pillow.

The ¢hild which Gardner -had so miraculously saved was a gon and only child.of. our Superintendent. It seemed singular that the morning talk of two men should have such a singular ending, but go it was. 'The wife of the Superintendent, with- their only child, had been out for a walk. The little-one, running on ahead, had strayed upon the track. ot '

'Héaringfx@he whistle, the mother called the ¢hild to her; : but the child, happy i its freedo'?, ran on laughing aud shouting, childlike, into the very jiws of davger. g - 1t was wo much for the mother; she made an effort to rave her darliyg. but before che could overtake the little one; ber strength failefl her,and she fell - Oar engine was iujured so that it was imporsible to go on, and another was telegraphed for. We tried all we could to bring Garduer back, but the phygician said the excitement under: which the noble fellow had Jabwred had prostrated bim, and it would require the greatest care and a Joug timeito bring him back 1o life. He had that care, you -may rest assured. S I was in Garduer’s house when' Superintendent Brown eame in. that night, The *old man,” as"we called him, had lost all signs of his arger, and he wept like a hild as he looked ‘upon th strong man prostrated before him = He visited the patient daily, aud his very life seemed to hang apon Garduoer’s_recovery, and when the daiger was passed, the long fever which eusued waa broken, and the engineer began to recover, the Saperintendent was as happy as a child. | 1 may say. in conclusion; that the accident was not without its results, tor as atonce the Valley road was thoroughly .rebuilt in the best possible manner, newly stocked, and is to-day offe of che best roaas in the country, running it trains on time, and giving delight to the travéling public; thanks to the energy aid enterprise of Super: intendent Gardmer, a kind hearted, grey-headed gentleman, who is ranked with the b :st railroad maen in the coun try.

. From the Indianapolis Mirror, Jan. 14. .~ THIE CANAL CASE.. . “There are few renders 6f the- Mirror who have not heard s'nmet‘hin‘g of what is called the “canal swindle.” Somemay understand it fully, and some mnay not; and those: who understand it may ['_mt un derstand its present condition. If we give some little space to it we shall dono harm to any'._nnd‘fn}u;v do a service to | many. For the mischief threatened by the scheme, thus forcibly designated, is by far the greatust the State has ever en - countered, and tne peril of it is too near to be trifled with. . Tt is Cv-‘niln‘g'neax;er; too, while the means of averting it are gruw‘ »' ing feebter i)? r!;m'v_ihg farther. We are indulging no chimerical jalarm when: we say that 1t will take more bp'nwerful resist ance than we-can see within certain reach, to »ivc{i the calamity of a debt of $lB,000,00 with an annual interest of $900,000. * Such a calamity may not prostrate, but it certainly w'll paralyze, the State, and check for years its development and prosperity. It must cripple industry; re: pél capftn‘l, depress trade, and dispirit enterprise. Nine bundred thousand dol lars & year of taxation, added to taxes ulready oppressive, is & burthen that be comes more appalling the more we think of it. And, ilf we are forced to endure it, the impulse will proceed from no public necessity, no demand of honor, no entorcement of right. It will come “from the corrupt influence of speculators, ‘who,. accustomed ‘all their lives to legal theft, have no scruplesand no measure of policy but personal advantage. Itis hard to ‘look such & danger in the face, see it coming; feel its evils, feel that it is a dunger growing in utter and unmitigatedevillaing, and yetfeel that we may .h';z’ powerless to avert or resist it. But bhard as it is, it is hetter to look it in the face than not see it at all. It ean be averted by measuring its force And pressure, and sparing no means of resistance,-but ‘it can he averted in no other way. The reader will under +tand. this from the statewent we ahall wake S 4 - - T'he State borrowed in 1836, to com. plete certain public. works, $10,000,000, pledging those works, the*Wubngh Canal, the Central Canal, and the Madison Railroad being the chief wof them, for the lebt. In 1839, the works were aband.n ~d unfimshed,, because the State was bankrupt. From 1841 no interest was onid upon the debt. In 1846 our credit’ ors propos d, through their agent, Mr Chirles Butler, of New York, a compro ‘nise, which, after much tinkering on both’ sades, was accepted. In brief, it required “nw'fo give the Wabash Cunal to our cred itors for'half our debt, and make hgw five per cent. honds for the other half; with two and & half per: cent. hﬂnds for the accrued interest. It required- the stockholders to expend $2.250,000 to com--plete the canal, and gave them as gecurity for this advance the 800,000 acres of land Jonated by Congress.” In 1847, the creditors came - back with a modification of the arrangement, the main ‘feature of which was a redfiction of the advapce they were to make to $BOO,OOO with thve: privi, lege of~adding $500,000. more if it wera found necessary to complete. the work.— We gnvc;‘tu(;m .the canal.and the new bonds. They set to work'to c&lgnpler.e, the canal, and never -did it. But two boats have ever even attempted to pass from Evansville northward. “We have paid interest honestly twice a year since 1847, and within ten years have paid the last dollar of the principal, except $144,000, retained because ‘the bondholders are ~mainly in France and cannot be reached. We have kept our word -to the letter.(—-— Our creditors have ' not. ~lf it be alleged that $BOO,OOO wss not enough to complete the canal, we say the owners agreed to -expend. $500,000 more upon it, and never did it. | Their work was left.incomplete, and, therefore, measurably useless, by their own fault.. This is the exact state Of thecase, -~

Now they come and demand that we shall take back the canal, and ‘pay them cash with interest -from 1847, alledging that we rained it by allowing railroads to be built along its line in competition with it. This is false in fact, but if it were true how does it give them an equit able claim to pa'ym_cn; for it? It would ‘be 2just as eqnitable for a. man who had taken-for a debt an old ashioned print. ing press, to demand payment of the debt or because the latter had, a'tew years after, begnh business with a cylinder press, No state has & right to deprive itself of the developments of - science and the progress of thelage, and no claim of damage can be based upon the. application of them. |lf the owners had completed the canal. it would to-day do a heavy abd pro. fitable business in spite of all the railroads. that could be crotw ii;d hetween the Maumee and the Ohin. For water transportation’ ean never bé equalled for heavy freights. That their work has failed is }their own act, if it were not,- they are equally. without remedy in ‘eguity. This is the exact state of the case as to their demand. But they expect tG carry it through. How 2. : ST

Ist. They have memotialized the Legisture. The Governor sent the docament to buth Houses on Wednesday. This memorial they are ableto back, and do not conceal their purpose to back, by bribery.. The present owners have bought the canal stock for a little or nothing.— They can afford to give every man in the Legislature $lO,OOO to support their claimfor they will gét $18,000,000 and $900,000 a year besides, for what cost them probably less than $3,000,000. But this, though a formidable implement, is not the most to be feared. ;

2nd. . Our bargain of 1846-7 required the holders of the original bonds to surrender themand take the new ones within a certain time. If they dil not they. were to get:nothing, Some never surrendered, among these the United States, which ‘held a large amount in the Indian Fund ; Indiana herself, who' held $B,OOO in the school fund; and Mr. John W.

But, ‘unluckily, tßJE»Ciyllst-i;utibn of tbe United States «ays that “no State shall make & law invaliduting contracts,” and this provision invalidated all these contracts, It has been decided “unconstitutional , and void. Two years ago, in settling our war claims with the general government, pay-" - ment of its share of these unsurrendercd bonds was demanded as a_ceduction from what was due us.. Governor Buker had to pay them or get nothing. Mr. Garrett, taking ché hint i'rnm this transaction, hag brought suit in the Carroll Circuit Court for payment of bis bonds. Of course he will get judgment. It is impossible to - deny, or defeat, his demand legally. The canal was pledged in 1836 to pay him and all others, and he has un earlier lien than the canal holders. If he is mat paid out of the State treasury Lm% canal must be sold. It it is sold, the canal awners will bave an indisputable legal right to the cash they are after. 7%at will do the business of thespeculators'effoctually and completely, and “do our business” as well. This. second scheme is to' prevent the Legislature from paying these unsurrendered bonds out of the treasury, in order that-the sale of the canal, which ‘must follow, may force the State to pay’cauh . to the owners. . The first step io it has been developed in the form of a proposition that the State shall not pay the canal debt, no¥ the vnsurrendered bonds. This game of hitching an honept claim to.a vil- ~ lainous one, and repudiating both, carries - us just exactly to the point of selling theeanal fmn} its owners that they may have 4‘ -4 sure thing of what they want. Therg- | fore it may be set-down as.certain that whenever. you hear BDy mAan.-oppesing the payment of both claims, he'is for the “cannl swindle.” * This" is the dangerous form of the scheme . The other may b repelled by ‘the certain incnlpation of \’ pribery in supporting it But this looks ouy with a fieir face of an honest adhesion * to our bargain, which provided that the unsurrendered bonds should not be paid, and it isto be printed and powdered with all sorts of talk about “taxes” and “expenses.” This mag,"in “all probabiliry will, defeat all appropriations for these bonds, compel” the sale of the caunl, and saddle the people withia debt twice as R henvy asthey have ever known. Thisis the “canal swindle,” and the present ccndition of it, P
